Chapter 157: The Martian Flood
"How to change the composition of the atmosphere?" Ye Chen asked in confusion, this question is probably not much simpler than changing the surface of the planet, all kinds of gases in the atmosphere are mixed together, it is difficult to separate them, Ye Chen doesn't know, Zode and they have any way to separate these evenly mixed gases.
Zod said: "Under normal circumstances, the planetary colonies we are looking for contain a lot of water, so that a large amount of oxygen and hydrogen can be obtained by electrolyzing these waters, and after the hydrogen is stripped away, oxygen enters the atmosphere, and many toxic gases in the atmosphere can be burned, and these toxic gases react with oxygen to make toxic gases ** non-toxic gases, so that the atmospheric composition of the entire planet will change." ”
Ye Chen nodded and said, "This can indeed be regarded as a method, but I think that the energy you need to consume in this method is probably not small, if you want to ionize oxygen that can change the composition of a planet's atmosphere, that huge amount of energy will probably reach an astronomical amount." ”
Ye Chen roughly estimated that in order to obtain the oxygen content that meets the requirements, the energy required to be consumed is enough to be higher than the energy consumed by all human beings on the earth for a thousand years, which is definitely an extremely huge project.
"That's right, it takes a lot of energy, but we Kryptonians never lack energy, and the energy facilities we use are somewhat similar to the nuclear fusion reactions on your earth, all of which turn the mass of matter ** into energy, but the efficiency of our mass energy ** is much higher than yours, and the restriction of raw materials is also smaller than yours, so you don't have to worry about the problem of energy, what we need is sufficient water."
Zod looked up at the Earth, which was so small in the distant sky that it was almost indistinguishable from the other stars, and smiled disdainfully, as if to laugh at the backwardness of technology on Earth.
"The water source matter is easy to handle, just leave this to me, the Europa I left behind before is a planet covered in ice and snow, if I move it over, won't the water source problem be solved?"
Zod was stunned for a moment and said, "You want to use Europa to hit Mars again?" "If Ye Chen wants to obtain water through impact again, it is not impossible, but the Martian surface they have just modified will be destroyed again.
Ye Chen shook his head, Europa may contain a lot of life, Ye Chen didn't want to completely destroy Europa.
"No, I want Europa to become a satellite of Mars, which will not only stabilize the axis of rotation of Mars, but also create a better environment for life on Europa, as for how the water on Europa flows to Mars, I have my own way, you don't have to worry about this."
Coming out of the zod spacecraft, Ye Chen once again came to the orbit of Jupiter, after losing Io here, it seems that nothing has changed, Io's small size is almost insignificant compared to the behemoth of Jupiter.
Just like the process of transferring Europa, Ye Chen calculated in detail the coordinates of Europa's most suitable orbit in the spacecraft, and after everything was completed, he built a wormhole again to migrate Europa from Jupiter's orbit to Mars' orbit.
In an instant, Europa was pulled by the gravitational pull of Mars and began to orbit in a predetermined orbit, and the rotation of Mars was changed as a result, but everything was within the scope of the computer's calculations, and for the next long time, Europa would follow Mars in its orbit around the solar system, just like the Moon and Earth.
As soon as Europa entered the orbit of Mars, the intense sunlight shone into Europa's cold surface, and Europa had never seen such a strong sunlight since its birth for countless years, and for a while, the cold ice began to melt and turn into clear water.
However, at this time, Europa did not have an atmosphere, and as soon as the sea water was generated, it evaporated directly under extremely low air pressure and became part of Europa's atmosphere. However, this process does not last forever, until Europa's air pressure meets the conditions for the presence of liquid water, and the gasification process naturally stops.
In an extremely thin atmosphere, the sun heats Europa very quickly, and the sea above the ice is already tens of meters thick and boiling.
"If this continues, the sea layer will become thicker and thicker, and the remaining heat of sunlight will become weaker and weaker, so that it will be difficult for the ice under the water to melt again." Ye Chen pondered for a moment, "Let's start now, Europa's water source, enter Mars!" ”
Ye Chen took out the green light ring, put it on his hand, and called on the energy in the green light ring, and a spiral wormhole with a diameter of about 50 meters appeared in the Ganymede sea layer, and the other end appeared on the towering mountains of Mars. The reason why he chose to be on the mountain was because Ye Chen wanted as much of the surface of Mars as possible to be watered by water.
Ye Chen tried his best to control the oval shape of the wormhole, so that under the limited water surface, a larger contact area could be obtained, and at this time, the wormhole had expanded to a length of one thousand meters.
In an instant, a relentless and endless stream of water flowed into the wormhole, gushing out on Mars at the other end of the wormhole, and the moisturizing water flowed through the dry surface of Mars, bringing hope for life.
Under Ye Chen's frantic extraction, Europa's sea gradually began to become shallow, and the strong sunlight projected in again, greatly speeding up the speed at which Europa's ice melted.
However, Europa's ice is about 50 to 100 kilometers thick, and it will not melt in a short time, but the amount of water contained in it is twice as large as the sea water on Earth, which is enough to meet the needs of Mars.
On Mars, Zod stood outside the porthole of the spaceship and waited quietly, he had probably guessed what Ye Chen wanted to do, so he didn't follow Ye Chen, estimating that now there was almost a big flood on Mars.
"Look, General, over there!" At this moment, Fura looked out of the porthole of the spaceship in surprise, and saw that on the horizon not far away, a raging tide was rapidly coming, and it would not be long before the ship could reach here.
"Let's wait, I'm afraid this flood will last for a long time!" Zod said calmly, Mars has just been born, and the surface of the earth is still emitting amazing heat, just as this global flood swept over, which can bring life to this parched land, countless water vapors will evaporate, rise into the air, and then turn into a global heavy rain, washing away the dust in the air.
After these things, it is time to ionize the water source and inject a large amount of oxygen into the planet, and when the time comes, a new and vibrant Mars will finally be born. (To be continued.) )
