Chapter 358: Water
"If you have something to say, why are you still spitting up, you're not a, what are you doing here for me!"
As soon as the team heard the snowy owl say this, their faces turned red, and it was obvious that he understood the metaphor in his words.
"Why didn't I find out before, you guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is actually an old pervert, you actually have me!"
As soon as he said this, the snowy owl's feet kicked at his ass, but the team member reacted quickly and used his quick reaction speed to dodge it.
"Boy, I advise you to be kind, hurry up and tell your problem, don't sell me Guanzi!"
After listening to this, he immediately regained his serious expression and asked his questions.
"What I don't understand is that you said that this volcano has erupted many times, and since the volcano has erupted many times, then along with the volcanic eruption, this flash flood should have been many times.
Such a large amount of water, but after we discovered this volcano, we did not find any surface water around here, and I want to ask where did that water go? ”
After hearing his question, everyone at the scene should have reacted, yes, the flash floods that broke out so many times before, such a big water, have all hit the river, but why haven't surface water been found before?
At this moment, everyone was looking at the team member's gaze and changed slightly, but now they wondered why this situation was happening, and then they looked at the snowy owl next to them again with an inquiring gaze.
"Don't look at me like this, in fact, I also figured out this problem before, as long as you listen to my speculation, you should be able to understand what this problem is all about!"
Speaking of this, the snow owl seemed to be deliberately selling Guanzi as if he was deliberately selling Guanzi, but the team members didn't buy his account at all, and rushed up and surrounded him in the center, a kind of momentum that showed him to correct the Fa on the spot as long as he didn't say anything.
Snowy Owl looked at the performance of the team members at the moment, and was afraid that they would do something to be sorry for their daughter-in-law, so they immediately replied and didn't sell anything.
"Okay, I said, I said it all, it's understandable, I guess the surface water is evaporated.
After evaporation, because Mars's atmosphere is only 1% of the thickness of the Earth, it cannot trap water, so these water vapors slowly drift higher and higher, and finally escape into space.
Of course, the water will seep into the ground of Mars, and I think a significant part of the water will seep into the ground again and become a member of the groundwater again.
That's why the water that was spewed out of the surface disappeared, and that's what I speculate about where it ended up! ”
The members of the team who could be selected as astronauts were all extremely intelligent people, and after Snow Owl said this, he immediately understood the mystery.
They also secretly scolded themselves for being stupid, and they didn't figure out such a simple thing. In fact, they are not to blame, because none of them are aware of being on Mars, and they are all measuring the affairs happening on Mars by the standards of the earth, so they have not been able to react.
To put it bluntly, the destination of this water is actually very simple, after the water gushes out of the ground, a river channel is created on the surface, and after the volcano has extinguished a large amount of water, the water does not flow out.
When there is no new, hotter water, the surface water that came out earlier will eventually turn into lumps of ice as Mars gets cooler and cooler.
Whether it's a lake at the end of the stream or a river channel, all the water on the surface will turn into ice lumps.
Now the surface temperature of Mars, because it is in the cold season, the temperature is very low, and the water is still ice and does not evaporate.
But Mars is not always in the cold season, there is also a warm season above him, although the temperature in the warm season on Mars is not much higher, but it is still about 20 degrees!
At a temperature of about 20 degrees, the surface water will no longer be in the form of solid ice, and after it is reconverted into water, even if it evaporates slowly at a temperature of 20 degrees, this surface water alone will be evaporated.
When all the water seeps into the ground even if it evaporates, there will eventually be no water on the surface.
So far, the astronauts have made reasonable speculations about all the relevant things of the Martian eruption, and after getting these speculations, the astronauts are quite convinced of the conclusions they have reached.
Everyone had the thrill of exploring some kind of unsolved mystery of the world, and they felt a hearty refreshment.
The samples of Martian water they had obtained earlier were sent to the testing instrument, and while everyone was still in self-absorption, the testing instrument emitted a 'Dididi' prompt.
When everyone heard these prompts, they all immediately came back to their senses, and all eyes were fixed on this testing instrument.
Everyone knew that this should be the result of the test, and the snowy owl hurriedly came to the group and checked the test value displayed on the instrument.
Holding the test data in his hand, one of the team members walked over with a personal terminal in his hand, which displayed the individual data of the earth's surface water.
The snow owl held the test report of the Martian surface water in his hand, found a seat, and after sitting down, he looked at the data and began to read, while he was reading, the attention of the other team members was all focused on the data indicators of the earth's surface water on the personal terminal.
In this way, the snow owl read one by one, and the other team members were right one by one, and the data of each item actually met the data security indicators of the earth's surface water, of course, except for one of them, the iron content was somewhat high.
", hurry up, this water is the best mineral water except for some excessive iron, let's hurry to the lake that hasn't turned into ice lumps."
The water on our plane was really time to be replaced, and even though it was strictly filtered, I felt a little uncomfortable at the thought that there was my own urine re-filtered in it.
Before, there was no replacement, there was no way, but now we have a water source that can be used, let's hurry up and change everything! ”
After listening to the words of this team member, the faces of the others all became anxious, especially when the team member said urine just now, a trace of chill flashed on the faces of the others, and it was obvious that the topic of water circulation was a tacit taboo on their plane.
A hint of disgust flashed across the face of the snow owl, and then he slapped the team member on the shoulder just now.
"Didn't we have an agreement before, you kid, that we wouldn't mention this matter even if we were killed? You're really underwhelmed!
Okay, since this kid has spoken everyone's thoughts, let's hurry to the small lake, do what this kid suggests, and change all the water on our plane! ”
As soon as the snow owl finished speaking, several astronauts immediately rushed to the pilot's seat, and the aerospace plane was also piloted by them, flying towards the small lake at the end of the water.
And the snow owl is still looking at the water quality test report in his hand at the moment, although he has long known that the substance of water in the universe is not unique to the earth, but he did not expect that just from the earth, the second planet they arrived, they found a water source that could be drunk.
This is a bit of a surprise, and the snow owl is actually thinking about the impact of the discovery of a potable water source on Mars.
It seems that within the scope of his understanding, as long as Mars can carry out artificial intervention and transformation, Mars can carry out large-scale migration, which is much better than the migration to the moon.
Until Mars has an atmosphere, even if it is thin, it is still an atmosphere, and the anisotropic conditions of Mars are really similar to those of the Earth.
Now, except for the absence of a magnetic field on Mars, everything is eligible for immigration to Mars.
Where there is water, there is hope, this is a saying that people often say in the water-scarce areas of the Great Northwest, and the snowy owl thinks that it is also applicable to Mars.
Thinking like this, the snowy owl was a little distracted, until the plane came to the end of the water again, and then everyone got off the plane.
After that, there was a rush of busyness, first taking the plane out of the earth, I don't know how many times the water had been circulating in everyone's body was released, and then using Martian water to clean the plane's water storage system twice, and after doing all this, it was filled with Martian water again.
When everyone returned to the plane, the Snowy Owl didn't pay any attention to anyone else, but went to his room and began to organize the information, with a report on everything that had happened since the Martian eruption.
What happened after that, strictly speaking, was actually more meaningful than the eruption of Mars.
Because they found water on Mars that can be cited, except for a trace of excessive iron, all other indicators meet the standards of mineral water on earth.
In other words, they have found water resources on an extraterrestrial planet that can be used for human drinking, and the importance of meaning is self-evident.
The important footage from the relevant videos they had collected before was edited, and at the end, all the measured data were added, and at the end, their speculation about what happened on Mars was also put in.
After all this, the snowy owl came out of the room, and when he came to the cockpit again, he saw that all the team members were standing in front of the water machine.
The snowy owl also smiled when he saw everyone's performance, and after laughing, he also joined the queue waiting for water.
The water circulation and purification system in the plane was running, and everyone was waiting for the water to be taken out at the water outlet, and finally it didn't take long for the water machine to sound Dididi.
All the astronauts couldn't wait to take out their cups and scrambled to take them and drink them.
When they had filled themselves with water, the Snowy Owl said to them, "Comrades, we have drunk enough of this water, now we should do something serious, and then we will ascend into space and send our current situation back to Earth in space." ”
Under the control of a few people, the space plane slowly passed through the thin atmosphere of Mars, went straight to the universe, and sent out the explanation of the situation sorted out by the snow owl.
After they sent the details out, they returned to Mars, for them, the mission on Mars has just begun, and all kinds of mysteries on Mars are waiting for them to explore.
On the earth, the Mars Mission Command Center of the Beiping Headquarters of the Kyushu Space Agency, the staff here have just fully accepted the volcanic eruption event that the snowy owls sent back from Mars.
Just when the experts here just wanted to go home and have a good rest, a progress bar popped up on the big screen of the command center again.
Isn't it, these people on Mars are too diligent, how long has it been since the last time they sent a message back, and they are sending things back again?
All the people present in the command center were focused on the big screen, staring at the progress bar that was walking on the screen.
The on-site commander of the command center immediately had a smile on his face when he saw the progress bar displayed in the receiving documents, but what people couldn't understand was this smile, and he didn't know whether he was smiling happily or bitterly.
After the on-site command effect, he turned his head to the experts who had packed up their belongings and wanted to go home to rest.
"It seems that you want to go back to rest, this is a waste, I think I let you go now, and you will definitely not leave from this command center.
Hehe, everyone should follow my arrangement, I will let someone arrange a place for you to rest, you go to rest first, and when the information sent back from Mars is received, I will ask people to call you. ”
The experts on the scene, after listening to the command, all shook their heads, they were not only shaking their heads, but their eyes were also staring at the progress items on the screen.
The on-site commander saw everyone's reaction, and knew that he couldn't persuade him at the moment, so he could only let everyone go, but he still did a good job in terms of logistics support.
The progress bar is still increasing very slowly, and the people who are staring at it are all complaining, complaining about the speed of information transmission between the two planets, which is so slow.
No matter how anxious everyone present was, they couldn't change the speed of data transmission, and the progress bar was still slowly growing at the previous speed.
While everyone was still staring at the progress bar, Li Zhenhua, who was in Dongshan's own home, had just received the information from Mars last time from the hands of a soldier.
After a series of strict signing procedures, Li Zhenhua finally got the top-secret information in his hands.
At this moment, he was as puzzled as he could about the information in his hand, because before this, no one had told him what the content of this information was about.
After the soldiers completed the handover of the materials, they left from his side, leaving only Li Zhenhua, who was still holding the materials and still wondering.
