No. 394: A surprise discovery at the North Pole of Mars
Seeing Liang Shui's somewhat disappointed look, the five astronauts couldn't help but step forward and pat him on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Liang, let's take a closer look, things may not be so bad." ”
"I hope so, after all, the detectors of the United States have found biological fossils on this. You asked me to think about where life is likely to appear, this Mars is oval, half the diameter of the blue planet, and the gravitational pull is very small......"
Liang Shui thought about it like this, in the super brain, the data was constantly calculated and changed, and soon he had new ideas, and they were relatively bold ideas.
Thinking of the end, he turned his head sideways to look at the five astronauts and said, "You follow me to see this key on the super equipment, this will allow you to have super analytical and computing capabilities, which is equivalent to having a super brain." ”
After hearing this, the five astronauts didn't expect that the super equipment still had this function, so they were slightly stunned, and hurriedly did what Liang Shui said.
Then they felt a slight tingling sensation in their brains, and after this feeling, their brains seemed to suddenly become much more flexible, which made them laugh happily, and their eyes became even hotter as they looked at the activation device of the super equipment in their hands.
Liang Shui saw that everyone had activated the super brain, so he laughed and said, "Okay, I'll tell you my speculation, you see, which one may have a bigger surname."
According to the common understanding, Mars is imagined to be similar to our planet, and based on the intensity of solar radiation, it can be determined that the mid-latitudes are generally more suitable for living things.
Western countries such as the United States, the Hungry Country, the Yin Kingdom, etc., also think the same way, so when they first explored Mars, they mainly attacked the mid-latitudes of Mars.
However, they all ignore the problem that there will be subtle changes in the regional environment.
For example, 500 years ago, the change of solar radiation caused the brain development and evolution of people in the east of the earth faster than that of people in the west.
This is also one of the reasons why our country was able to lead the world in the first place, because our ancestors were smarter than the West, and they were always ahead of the world.
But with the change of solar radiation energy, people in the West have gradually become smarter, so they quickly surpassed us in science and technology and walked ahead of the world.
With that out of the way, let's go back to the climate of Mars.
The atmosphere at the poles of Mars is mainly composed of clouds of dry ice, but at the equator of Mars, the concentration of carbon digasification is lower than that at the poles, and it is the lowest on Mars.
Then we imagine that we are creatures on Mars, and in the face of this gradual process of environmental formation, should we move to the equator, to the poles, or to the mid-latitudes between the equator and the poles? ”
After Liang Shui finished speaking, an astronaut who developed wisdom immediately proposed: "Mr. Liang, according to the currently known conclusions, Mars only had signs of life about 4 billion years ago. In these four billion years, volcanic eruptions, meteorite bombardments, and many other things can occur, but will the current climate on Mars be formed after the extinction of life? Maybe we shouldn't use this as a reference at all. ”
At this time, another astronaut spoke: "Yes, using the current situation on Mars as a reference, I think the error is too big." ”
Liang Shui listened to the words of the two, as if he understood something, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Wait, I seem to have thought of something." For example, our blue planet, the end of the world is coming. And that destruction is utter destruction, the destruction caused by the swelling of the sun. ”
"Haha, Mr. Liang, you are so smart, I understand what you mean. The sun grows bigger, it's a long process, and as its energy grows, the temperature on the surface of Mars will change more and more, and eventually the equatorial region will become uninhabitable for life in the first place. An astronaut immediately laughed and continued.
Liang Shui responded and said, "Yes, that's what I want to say." As the Sun gets bigger and the radiation energy gets stronger, the climate on Mars becomes worse and worse, and the equator becomes uninhabitable in the first place because of the high temperature. However, the ice at the poles of Mars began to melt, and the climate became humid and gradually more suitable for living organisms, so the last footprints of life on Mars may be at the poles. ”
However, when an astronaut heard Liang Shui's words, he said disapprovingly: "Having said that, we still ignore a truth. That is, since the sun has become larger, the climatic conditions on Mars have become only the most suitable for living organisms, why are the poles now composed of dry ice? ”
Another astronaut smiled and said, "Hehe, this question is easy to explain." Because the ozone layer is essential to be habitable. Otherwise, our blue planet may be similar to Mars today. ”
The astronaut before was not convinced, and argued: "This is indeed the truth, but don't forget, according to the environment of our blue planet, the ozone layer above the equator is the thickest, and the ozone layer at the poles has appeared hollow." ”
Liang Shui waved his hand to tell him not to get excited, and explained: "According to the determinism of the relationship between radiation and matter, the formation conditions of the ozone layer are also closely related to solar radiation. Therefore, as the sun becomes larger and the radiation energy becomes stronger, there is no condition for the formation of the ozone layer above the equator, but because the solar light irradiates less time and the temperature is lower, the conditions for the formation of the ozone layer are reached, so the poles are most likely to be the last living place of Martian organisms. ”
The five astronauts thought for a moment, and the super brain made an analysis, and felt that what Liang Shui said was very reasonable.
However, the astronaut who refuted the objection asked: "The environment at the poles of Mars is very harsh and very dangerous, how do we get there?" ”
"It's okay, as long as there's no storm, it's fine. And I can warn of storms, so you don't have to worry too much. The main reason why I didn't plan to go to the poles was that I was influenced by some current theories about Mars, and I also believed that the mid-latitudes were the most likely places for life. ”
After Liang Shui finished speaking, he took the lead in taking the excavation equipment and rushed towards the North Pole.
He's fast, because he's so excited, as long as he can prove that life ever existed on Mars, he can easily turn Mars into a habitable planet.
Of course, what excites him the most is that he is looking for signs of life at the poles, which is a very bold guess, which abandons all previous conclusions, and does not refer to the environmental conditions of Mars at all, but takes the changes in radiation energy between Mars and the Sun as a reference.
Perhaps this is the key to truly unraveling the mystery of Martian life.
This conclusion is not unreasonable, as is the case with the blue planet today, the ice in the South Pole is melting and decreasing, the sea level is rising, and in hundreds of thousands, millions of years, perhaps the poles will become suitable places for major organisms, but the equator and the mid-latitudes will not.
Liang Shui thought of this, and his heart was even happier.
After flying for about two hours, Liang Shui finally took five astronauts to the Arctic region, where the environment is very harsh.
Since Liang Shui could warn of the wind, they encountered two storms on the way, but there was no danger and they avoided them.
Seeing Liang Shui's behavior on the blue planet, they were all very worried, but they were also looking forward to it, including those who had already studied Mars.
Because the polar environment is too harsh, they have never successfully made the probe to the polar regions, and even if they get the probe, it will be destroyed because of the harsh environment in the dry ice clouds.
All of a sudden, the significance of this probe became extraordinarily significant.
Including those countries such as the Mi Kingdom, the Yin Kingdom, and the Hungry Country who hope that Liang Shui will die in the process of this Mars exploration, they also hope that Liang Shui can find something at the poles.
Maybe they still want Liang Shui to die, but now they hope that he will die after he finds something.
"Hey, why is this Arctic region not as cold as the mid-latitude region? Let's take out the thermometer and see what the temperature is here. ”
Liang Shui is not like the five astronauts, because he has been with super equipment for six years, he is very familiar with the energy changes of super equipment, and he can clearly feel the changes outside.
"-2 degrees Celsius, this, this temperature?"
The astronaut who refuted the last place of residence of the polar creatures just now was really shocked when he saw the temperature on the thermometer.
Because of this temperature, not to mention microorganisms, even some cold-tolerant organisms can completely survive.
"Mr. Liang, it seems that our guess is correct. Based on the discovery of this temperature, it is almost certain that the poles are the last living places on Mars. ”
The other four astronauts also shouted excitedly.
The people on the blue planet, watching the discovery of Liang Shui's six people at the North Pole of Mars, also widened their eyes one by one, staring at the TV computer screen extremely nervously.
At this moment, they really hope that Liang Shui and they can find the most recent fossils on Mars, in that case, even if they can't live on Mars, they can better predict the future of the blue planet according to the environmental changes of Mars, and better protect their home planet.
However, Liang Shui glanced left and right with some concern and said, "Wait, everyone, this news may not be good news for us. This temperature is suitable for the existence of organisms, which means that there may be highly intelligent organisms that have evolved for billions of years. (To be continued.) )
