Chapter 258 Mars Colony

Is this going to enter the interstellar colonial era?

The whole world was shocked. People were still not mentally prepared at all. They had just escaped from the shadow of alien invaders, and the Mars era was about to begin. This span was a bit too large.:.

It feels like a dream.

However, since it was said by the Atlantis gods, it must be not a dream. For a moment, the earth was filled with joy, and even the heads of governments in various countries claimed in public that the era of interstellar colonization had arrived, and immigration to Mars was no longer a dream.

Of course, all of this has to be achieved by the great gods' trip.

"Is this Mars?"

Wang Yue said with emotion as he walked out of the spaceship and walked lightly on the soft sand. Except for no plants, he looked like he was standing in the desert in the inland Australia. There were strangely shaped dunes, rocks, and gullies everywhere, and the scorching red color under the blazing sunlight.

The thin air did not hinder the formation of the storm. A super tornado, like a Caribbean hurricane, was moving rapidly on the distant wasteland.

Wang Yue looked at the scene in front of him speechlessly. It was obvious that this was also a lifeless planet. At least there would be nothing hidden within his field of vision. Not to mention the Princess of Mars, even microorganisms were not found. This place, like its appearance, was completely a desert of life.

But this is just a small regret for him. Without life, there is no life. This way, it can be transformed as you like. The Martian colony is something that many science fiction novels dream of, but if it is done, it is not that simple. The Martian environment is definitely not suitable for direct survival. Not to mention the thin atmosphere, the low temperature above zero in winter alone can completely calm down all human dreams.

To build a real Mars colony, it is necessary to carry out large-scale transformation of this planet. The most direct and effective way is to recreate an atmosphere similar to the earth. As long as there is enough atmosphere, all problems will be solved. Including temperature and radiation will be solved, and the atmosphere can produce a greenhouse effect. Just like a quilt, ensuring that the ground temperature will not be lost in the shortest time, so that the temperature will increase significantly in winter, and radiation will also be blocked by the atmosphere.

As for the problem of the gradual disappearance of the atmosphere caused by the Martian magnetic field and solar storm, there is no need to consider it. This kind of thing is an extremely slow process. Time may have to be calculated for tens of millions of years. I am so tired that I only consider this problem. Could it be that I am still preparing to let humans live here for millions of years?

What he is worried about now is whether his energy is enough. This is to transform a planet that is smaller than the Earth. Don’t be exhausted before he can complete the transformation. Although Mars itself can provide him with energy replenishment, you can tell how huge the energy consumption is with such a huge project. The second is the problem of raw materials. It does not mean that raw materials are difficult to find. Some elements on Earth are available on Mars, both nitrogen and oxygen. However, most of the oxygen exists in the form of carbon dioxide, and most of the atmosphere in Mars are carbon dioxide.

The raw materials are easy to find.

The second problem he was worried about was that he needed too many raw materials.

The total mass of the atmosphere on Earth is about one percent of the Earth, which means that it needs to turn nearly one percent of the mass on Mars into gas directly. This may affect the gravity of Mars. The smaller the planet, the smaller the gravity, even if it only reduces by one percent.

Once the gravity of Mars changes, it is likely to affect the entire solar system. The butterfly effect not only exists on the earth, but also exists between all the stars in the solar system. With the sun as the center, the gravitational interaction between all the stars constitutes the stability of this galaxy. Destruction of one point will cause the damage to the entire system, and even if the earth's orbit is affected by a slight impact, it may be a catastrophe for humans.

If that is true, it would be too late for me to regret it.

"Ma, can you not have to find a planet outside the solar system to play?"

This result did make him very depressed, but he didn't dare to take the risk of doing such experiments. If the Mars colony is not built into his hometown and is destroyed, it would be more than worth the loss.

This way of changing the Martian atmosphere is not advisable. The only way to settle for the second best is to build a super-large base on Mars.

Just like the Crystal Palace in Yongning, it is just not underwater, but underground. Camps are built underground, and then the camps are connected into a whole with pipes, and pipes are sent to the ground for lighting. As long as reflective layers are created inside these pipes and lighting channels similar to the principle of optical cables, they can transmit the sunlight on the ground to hundreds or even thousands of meters underground. As for the outside, they are sealed with glass materials, so even if they live underground, they are no different from the ground.

Then create air like the earth inside the system, and add an additional soil layer of sufficient thickness to plant plants that can produce oxygen on it, so as to form a closed circulation system, just like the Moon Palace, no longer need to constantly inject oxygen.

As for water, it is even simpler. Some of them are water on Mars, and the amount of water is sufficient, but they are all on the ice caps at the poles. Just make a few water supply pipes to directly lead them from there. Moreover, there should be enough groundwater underground on Mars, so that even if the ice caps on the poles can be used, water can be directly pumped from the ground. Anyway, there is a fusion reactor, so there is no need to worry about energy issues at all.

Humans immigrate to Mars definitely are not the ones who come here to lead the family. Who would have run to such a ghost place to lead the family if there is Earth?

To put it bluntly, they are here to mine mining and plunder resources. In this way, the only people who come here are miners. With such a base, they can solve their living problems. As for their mining work, they can use special mining vehicles and protective equipment to work on the ground, and their spacecraft can solve the transportation problems. A Mars development company has been built. And it can also be regarded as a tourism project to attract tourists to come from the earth to experience the alien scenery. There is no doubt that Mars travel will attract tourists to flock to them.

Although there is actually nothing to see in this place, it is better to go to the Australian desert to see it, but it is enough to have the identity of Mars.

There were miners and a large number of tourists, so there were people who served them, and a small city appeared. Didn’t the colonies gradually formed in this way? It won’t take long for humans to appear on Mars.

However, in this case, there is also a question that must be considered, that is, whether the crust of Mars is stable enough, because if an earthquake occurs, it is difficult to escape such a base. You should know that human scientists have discovered signs of similar earthquakes on this planet in the past. If there is a place to run on the ground, if an earthquake of sufficient intensity occurs underground, it will be a waste of money.

But then Wang Yue threw this problem into his mind. Since it was a colony, of course there were risks. In history, those colonial pioneers did not have their heads on their waistbands? There was no problem on the earth. If you want to play interstellar colonization, you should not be afraid of the problem of dead people. What's more, the crust of Mars is actually much more stable than that of the earth. The so-called earthquake signs observed by human scientists may be anything but seeing stones rolling, maybe they were blown by the wind. The wind speed in this place is as fast as the fighter jets. What's the point of slashing a few stones?

After putting aside his ideological burden, Wang Yue immediately began to act.

The first thing is to find groundwater. This problem must be determined first. Although he said that water can be diverted from both poles, it was only a forced situation. If there was groundwater, it would be the best. This guy quickly chose a place and suddenly appeared a glass hole under his feet. His body immediately began to sink. As the underground glass passage continued to extend downward, he continued to sink, and then he reunited on his head, sinking to more than a thousand meters. The cold spring water under his feet gushed out and instantly submerged his body.

OK. There is groundwater here and the amount of water is very abundant, so this problem will be completely solved.

Then there is the location of the base, which must not be selected in sand. It must be a rock mountain with sufficient hardness, and it is best to be a whole rock mountain. Of course, even if it is not a whole, it can be made into a whole, which will minimize the damage during earthquakes.

He soon found a continuous mountainous area nearby, with a range of dozens of square kilometers, and the mountains are all hard rocks. Of course, in fact, the mountains on Mars are all like this. The surface here is impossible to be like the earth, and it is covered with a layer of humus soil. All the mountains are bare rocks.

This is enough for him to transform.

First, take out a hollow in each mountain abdomen. These hollows do not need to be too large. Just have a football field. Of course, it cannot be completely hollowed out in the middle, and a sufficient amount of support must be left. Then dig upwards a series of lighting shafts. These shafts do not need to be too large in diameter. It is enough to have ten meters. The inner walls are made of reflective layers. The sunlight is knocked on the outside with an arc-shaped glass cover. After the sunlight enters from the outside, it finally reaches the inside through a series of reflections. All the walls inside also make reflective layers, so that the sunlight can be fully utilized.

A water spray device is left in the middle of the glass cover and a pipe is connected to it. This is necessary. Mars is windy and sandy. If there is no continuous water flow to clean, it may have to be cleaned once an hour. If there is uninterrupted water flow, you don’t have to worry about this problem.

These shafts are not too large, and they must meet the needs of sufficient lighting inside.

Each mountain is a unit with a large botanical garden inside to produce oxygen. A living area is opened around the botanical garden, where people live, and there are tunnels between the mountain peaks to form the whole of the base. This base is equipped with a fusion power station to provide electricity, a centralized water supply and drainage system, and a dedicated gate. In addition, each mountain also has an emergency exit. Of course, this is not something that cannot be used in an emergency, and of course, the airport outside cannot be missing.

As for the specific construction of the internal living area, there is no need to bother the masters. They just need to dig out the cave, and wait for the spacecraft to be built in large quantities and transport decorative materials from the earth for those immigrants to design it themselves.

In the next few days, Wang Yue began his Mars colony construction enthusiastically. It took him almost half a month to transform all the twenty peaks in this mountainous area, then build the fusion power station and build the wells, and then end the work satisfactorily. As for the minerals on Mars, this is not his job. Although it is only a trip for him, people can do this kind of thing by themselves.

After finishing his work, he created a statue larger than the Sphinx outside the base. He stood at the entrance and raised his arms with a proud look on his face. He specially created three large characters Wang Yuecheng above the entrance.

That's all!

He looked at his huge statue with satisfaction, then got into the spaceship and left Mars and headed straight for Earth.

A few days later, when his spaceship flew across the moon, it was discovered by a manned spacecraft that had just arrived. This was a Chinese spacecraft. Before that, a US spacecraft had arrived, and Lucia and European spacecraft were also preparing to launch. It is obvious that countries are very interested in the garbage made by Wang Yue. This is an alien black technology. Even if it is broken by the great gods, as long as you can get even a little thing, it is a priceless treasure.

Just as two Chinese astronauts jumped and ran away, picked up a piece of metal wreckage, and put it carefully in a box like a treasure, Wang Yue's giant spacecraft suddenly stopped in front of them, and then the guy stood at the cabin door and waved at them like he met by chance on the street.

Well, the next thing is simple. If there is an alien spacecraft, who will sit on the rags on the earth? After picking up these two astronauts, Wang Yue rowed up the other three American astronauts who picked up the rags, and then took off and headed straight for the earth.

At this time, the entire earth was already in full swing, and everyone rushed to Zhongdu like crazy, because Wang Yue had already told the ground through the communication device on the Chinese spacecraft that they would land in Zhongdu on the captured alien spacecraft, and then invited scientists from all over the world to study together to see if human technology has the ability to copy it.
