Volume 2: Chapter Sixty-Eight - Mars Space Launch Station

Landing on the Martian Arctic Circle, a dry, cold, red gravel desert devoid of any of the features of advanced life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThe previous Mars rover has found that the Martian atmosphere is scattered, unlike Earth, Mars does not have a global magnetic field distribution, so it lacks protection under the bombardment of the solar wind, and the result is that the solar wind particles blow away a large number of particles from the outer layer of the Martian atmosphere and escape from Mars. The data provided by the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Explorer will help scientists reconstruct the ancient climate of Mars.

In addition, previous Mars probes have found dry riverbeds and minerals formed by water on the surface of Mars, which suggest that the Martian atmosphere was once much denser than it is now, when it was warm enough for liquid water to flow on the surface of Mars. But then all the dense atmosphere of Mars diverged into space. Scientists believe that millions of years ago, with the gradual cooling of the Martian core and the continuous attenuation of the Martian magnetic field, 99% of the Martian atmosphere was volatile, and the solar wind blew away most of the water and volatile complexes that were once retained in the Martian atmosphere.

With the help of data and fax photos from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Matter Evolution Explorer, scientists understand why Mars has become the cold, dry, desert-covered, desolate world we see today。。。。。。 Due to the detection of liquid water in the depths of the surface of the Arctic Circle of Mars, in the mid-nineties of the 22nd century AD, the aerospace experiment base of human country A was located here.

Unlike its lunar base, the tracking antennas here are not aimed at space vehicles millions of kilometers away, but at a bare purple shale hill two kilometers away, on which there is a 1,000-meter-high space tower, on which a set of receiving antennas is set up, 100 meters high, and 1,000 solar lanterns are arranged in a square on the tower, each of which is the size of a searchlight.

The antenna, with a diameter of 500 meters, gradually rises on the base, aiming directly at the top of the tower, when the red light flashes in the antenna area, the tweeter predicts that the gate is about to close, and the deep sound rumbles and rolls in the empty desert. Dr. Hubble of the experimental base ordered the power to be closed. The antenna was aligned with the receiving antenna 4 kilometers away, and Dr. Hubble ordered a gradual increase in energy, increasing by 50 kilowatts per stage. There was no sound at all, and the lights under the tower weren't very bright at first.

The energy increased to 100 kWh, and the lights came on, slightly dim in the midday sun at the North Pole of Mars. When the energy is boosted to 1000 kWh, the lamp emits a dazzling glow and flickers with a slight flutter of the antenna up and down, left and right. And when it reaches the peak of 10,000 kilowatts, the accumulated lights begin to form a snowy channel, pointing straight to the Martian Arctic sky. The lights were no longer flashing, and the "air" could be felt trembling rapidly for kilometers around the hill. The Martian "storm" seems to be coming。。。。。。

Dr. Hubble, who was in the command tower about 5 kilometers across the hill, gave the order to take off, and the five ships hidden behind the hill took off. They first rose vertically to the height of the light array on the top of the hill, and then panned to the top of the light array. A spaceship entered the bright band of the square, slowly rising along the beam, accelerating as it ascented, and after a minute, it had become a tiny dark spot, and the next ship moved in.

This is an electromagnetic channel into space. All the Martian spacecraft of country A flew into space from here. In this channel, the magnetic force is proportional to the velocity, the faster the spacecraft, the greater the magnetic force obtained, and the increased magnetic force makes the spacecraft fly faster, so once the spacecraft enters this channel, it is like a bullet moving in the chamber of a gun, shooting into outer space at an uncontrollable speed, and when they leave the thin atmosphere of Mars, they can get a speed of 10,000 km/s.

Dr. Hubble came down from the conning tower, and from the outside, he was no different from the others, Mars Arctic Space--all the people in the base were wearing silver-white tights, wearing silver-white helmets, and their bodies flashed with a metallic sheen. Their spacesuit can isolate the ultra-low temperature and particle radiation of the Martian North Pole and maintain the temperature in the body. On the front of the helmet is a dark green blindfold that protects the eyes from the solar wind and the glare emitted by the electromagnetic channel. The name and position of each staff member are marked on a golden badge on their chest.

Dr. Hubble came to the bottom of the hill, where there was a cave that was not easily discovered, the door of the cave was closed, Hubble took off his badge, inserted it into the laser reader next to the door, and then pressed the passcode, and after the identifier determined that his badge and password were accurate, the door slid open silently.

Dr. Hubble walked in, the door closing silently behind him, and the deep passage suddenly dimmed, and Dr. Hubble walked down the long passage, through the hurdles to a hall. The hall was brightly lit, and the screen surrounding the hall showed the entire outer space, and the spacecraft that had just been launched had broken through the clouds of the Martian atmosphere and reached space.
