Chapter 26, Exploring Mars (Part II)

"Launch a communications satellite!"

"Launch a resource exploration satellite!"

"Launch an unmanned landing rover!"

……

Not long after arriving, a series of instruments and equipment for exploring Mars were all launched to prepare for the manned landing later.

"I didn't expect this Phobos to be a meteorite containing a lot of ice, don't look at it looks like a potato, it's quite large, but the mass is very small, obviously the density is very low!"

"This discovery is really very helpful for the study of the origin of life on earth, is it true that the origin of life on earth really came from outside the earth and arrived on earth with meteorites containing a lot of water, as people say?"

Ying Bainian took the sample analysis data that had just been collected from Phobos, frowned and was very puzzled, thinking of the origin of life.

"The surface layer on this Phobos is made up of rock and ice, so will there be liquid water inside its core? Does it contain primitive cellular organisms? ”

Win a hundred years continue to think about it, there is a very interesting statement about the origin of life on the earth, that is, the life on the earth is actually carried by a cosmic meteorite, a large meteorite like Phobos, if there is liquid water in it, and there are primitive simple cell organisms in it.

Then it is possible for these cellular organisms to escape the high temperature of meteorites and the burning of the atmosphere, and can reproduce in the oceans of the primitive earth, and finally give birth to hundreds of millions of life on the earth.

"Jiang Gong, can we drill deep on Phobos, I really want to know if there are simple cellular organisms in the core layer of Phobos, which is too important for studying the origin of life on Earth!"

Faced with the doubts in his heart, Win Bainian couldn't wait to find Jiang Zhipeng, put forward his own requirements, and continued to drill Deimos in depth to solve the doubts in his heart.

"Sure, in this way, you are fully responsible for this part of the work, if there is a major discovery, let me know in time!" Now Jiang Zhipeng is already busy, where is there too much time to take care of the small point of Phobos, and put the large Mars not to explore, why do you want to entangle this small satellite.

You must know that not only are all the 1,000 people on the "Zheng He" operating efficiently, but even many scientists from the Qingquan Academy of Sciences on Earth are also busy analyzing various data and data on Mars.

"Okay~" The authorized Win Hundred Years fart ran to study the origin of the species.

"How's Mars' resource situation?" Jiang Zhipeng shook his head, remembered something, and hurriedly asked his assistant.

"According to the current exploration, Mars is actually a very barren planet, and its resources are not even as rich as the moon!" The assistant presented Mr. Jiang with a report based on data from samples collected by the unmanned landing vehicle.

The main element of Martian soil is oxygen, which accounts for about 50%, silicon is 15~30%, iron is 15~16%, aluminum is 2~7%, calcium is 3~8% and a small amount of potassium, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, tantalum, chromium, magnesium, cobalt, nickel, copper, etc.

The content of sulfur (2.6~3.1%) is 1~2 orders of magnitude higher than the average content of the earth's crust, the content of potassium is less than 0.25%, and the content of rubidium, strontium, yttrium and zirconium is much lower than that of most igneous rocks of the earth.

The chemical composition of the Martian soil is characterized by high iron, moderate magnesium, calcium and sulfur, and low aluminum, and its chemical composition does not represent the composition of the original rock, but is likely to be the product of various chemical and weathering processes in the mafic igneous rock.

According to the calculation of mineral composition, the Martian soil is a mixture of 80% iron-rich clay, about 10% magnesium sulfate, about 5% carbonate and about 5% iron oxide, and the mineral composition of the mixture is equivalent to 59.1% chlormorillonite, 21.7% montmorillonite, 11.8% magnesium alum, 1% stone salt, about 0.5% TiO2 and 5.9% calcite.

"It's really barren enough, there are not even some scarce resources, and there are still a lot of He3 on the moon!" Jiang Zhipeng looks at the data from beginning to end, which are some very common elements, and there is nothing worth paying attention to at all.

"So the moon is a gift from the universe to mankind!" The assistant also smiled and said.

"However, these are the soil data on the surface of Mars, and the real exploration of the mineral division of Mars still needs to dig deeply, and prepare to arrange for someone to log in to Mars tomorrow and dig up some deep soil and rocks."

"What a big planet, I don't believe it, I can't find something special yet!" Jiang Zhipeng muttered as he ordered.

The next day, a full 10 space shuttles of different types slowly flew away from the "Zheng He" scientific research ship, compared with the huge "Zheng He", these space shuttles are like the size of ants around us, but these ants can fly very fast.

"Hey, all space shuttles preparing to land please pay attention, there is a super-large storm about to form near 123 degrees east longitude and 23 degrees north latitude of Mars, and the wind speed is expected to exceed the maximum known wind speed on Earth, reaching an unprecedented level 21, all space shuttles please stay away from this area!"

The meteorologists in charge of monitoring the Martian climate immediately informed the 10 space shuttles that were about to land on Mars with the latest weather information they had just received.

"Received on the 1st, re-planning the route!" The place where the space shuttle 1 flew and landed was still very close to the area of the big storm, and now the landing site had to be changed.

"Received on the 2nd!"

……

"Received on the 10th!"

The other shuttles are far away from the storm point, so naturally they only need to pay attention to it.

The space shuttle is like a cosmic spirit, and after flying around Mars, each flight follows its own route to its destination.

The two space shuttles flew to the north and south pole crowns of Mars respectively to conduct field investigations of where the ice is, and at the same time drill deep into the ice to see if there is a large amount of water resources underground.

The other eight shuttles flew to sites that scientists had long speculated might contain large amounts of minerals, and were also preparing to drill where to find something that was not on the surface.

"All the children who are preparing for the landing, please pay attention, the current surface temperature of Mars is very low, especially at the north and south poles, reaching minus 112 degrees, please do a good job of keeping warm and protecting yourself!"

The scientists in charge of meteorological work hurriedly transmitted some meteorological data such as Mars temperature and wind speed to the space shuttles they landed, which were all related to the lives of the landed astronauts.

"Number One, do you know what kind of cold is the most terrible?"

"Cold-hearted?"

"No, there's a kind of cold that your mother thinks you're cold!"

"Haha~~"

The astronauts who were about to land actually made a joke, which made the "Zheng He" laugh from top to bottom.

"Everyone, be serious, this landing on an alien planet is not a game, and any gap may cost you your own life!" Li Jun shook his head and reprimanded, young people are lively, but they also have to divide the occasion, this is a landing on Mars, and the ultra-low temperature is a very serious challenge, so it is not okay not to be cautious.

"Received" "Received".......

Hearing Li Jun's reprimand, the people who were preparing to land answered seriously one after another!

The 10 space shuttles are like birds, each looking for a direction and flying into the atmosphere of Mars, compared to the density of the Earth's atmosphere, the density of the atmosphere of Mars is too low, and the traces of the space shuttle can be seen very clearly in space.

The space shuttle, which uses anti-gravity technology and plasma technology, is not at all difficult to land on a planet like Mars, which has an escape speed of only 5 kilometers per second, which is less than half that of Earth.

The 10 shuttles landed at their destinations without any problems!

"I'm rubbing, how is the sun blue on this Mars?"
