After a while, the AI ​​Academic Intelligent Assistant sorted out the documents related to Mars transformation and sent them.

In the printing room, the sound of printing sounds sounded quickly. After waiting for a few minutes, the assistant walked in quickly with a stack of freshly baked documents with hot steam.

"Academician Xu, Academician Chang."

After saying hello respectfully, the assistant placed the file on the desk: "This is the file I just printed out."

With some curiosity, Academician Chang Huaxiang picked up a transformation report from the table and started reading it.

The document sent by Xu Chuan was not a transformation report manual, but a report that detailed the data and information of various Mars.

From the meager atmosphere content, elemental proportions, to the geological environment on the surface of Mars, the carbon dioxide, dry ice, solid ice, water resources contained in the soil, to the scanning structure of the Martian mantle and core, etc.

This document is no exaggeration to say that it is the most detailed Mars information he has ever read.

Of course, this is not the focus of the Mars transformation report.

The focus is on the problems that may be encountered during the Mars transformation listed in this document, as well as some feasibility theories.

For example, temperature.

The extreme cold environment of Mars is the main obstacle to achieving geomorphosis.

Because it is farther away from the Sun than the Earth, and the thinner atmosphere on the surface of Mars is difficult to absorb and preserve radiation from stars in large quantities, so the average temperature on its surface is minus 65 degrees Celsius.

This temperature is much lower than the presence of liquid water, which makes the surface of Mars almost completely free of water under normal circumstances.

In response to this problem, Xu Chuan proposed several theoretically feasible solutions in the document, at least at present, which can be achieved by current scientific and technological levels.

For example, the most commonly used method to increase temperature is the solution of ‘increasing greenhouse gases’.

As we all know, on the earth, greenhouse gases can retain heat by absorbing and releasing infrared radiation, so that the ecological environment on the earth can maintain a temperature suitable for life survival and development.

Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide released by a large number of industrial activities since humans have raised the earth's temperature by at least 3-5 degrees Celsius compared with the 19th century.

The temperature in cities is much higher than that in rural areas. In addition to the various problems caused by the urban heat island effect, high concentrations of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide are also the cause of temperature increase.

Last year, the Xinghai Research Institute and the Jinling government launched the "Super Urban Renovation Project" in the city. It is to deploy porous liquefied DAC carbon dioxide traps on a 100-meter-high building to reduce the carbon dioxide concentration in the city center and promote the flow of air to a certain extent to create a city suitable for human habitation. The core is to reduce the greenhouse gases in the city center.

However, if you try your best to reduce greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide on Earth, it will be added to Mars, which need to be added during the transformation process.

Some people may say that since this way, wouldn’t it be better to collect the carbon dioxide on the earth and transport it to Mars?

In theory, this is indeed a feasible solution.

However, to transform a planet, even if the diameter of Mars is only about 6,800 kilometers, about half of the earth, the amount of atmosphere required is still a terrifying number that ordinary people can't imagine.

The total mass of the Earth's atmosphere exceeds 600 trillion tons. If you want to cover Mars through the atmosphere, even considering the thickness that Mars can constrain its own gravity and magnetic field, the required atmosphere is at least more than 200 trillion tons.

Transferring the atmosphere from other planets to Mars to form an atmosphere is almost impossible for modern technology.

Based on this, in his report on Mars transformation, Xu Chuan proposed several other different solutions and means.

For example, the most core one is to stimulate the thick carbon dioxide, methane and water resources (water vapor) contained in Martian soil to enhance the Martian surface atmosphere.

On Earth, these three gases are the most common greenhouse gases, and each of them can absorb and release infrared radiation to increase temperature.

Then when placed on Mars, these gases can also play a similar role on Mars.

Although the atmosphere of Mars itself is very weak, only about one percent of the Earth's. However, according to their exploration on Mars during this period, the soil of Mars contains a large amount of ancient carbon dioxide and water resources.

If we can find a way to stimulate the atmosphere in the Martian surface soil, it can theoretically make up for the scarcity of the Martian atmosphere to a certain extent.

The biggest problem is how to stimulate greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor in Mars surface soil.

After all, for current humans, a planet, even a planet with a small size in the solar system, is almost unshakable by current technology.

Of course, if you really want to tell me the solution, it is not without it.

For example, nuclear weapons!

As early as 2015, SpaceX founder Elon Musk proposed a radical idea.

That is, by detonating nuclear weapons over the north and south poles of Mars, the high temperature generated by nuclear bombs can dissolve solid glaciers at the north and south poles of Mars to release a large amount of greenhouse gases, thereby rapidly increasing the temperature on the surface of Mars.

Although this idea is theoretically feasible, its practical difficulty and potential ecological risks make it a controversial solution.

But on Xu Chuan's side, his ideas were even more radical.

That's right!

In the plan to transform the Martian atmosphere, the second plan is to carry out a comprehensive saturation strike on the Martian surface through large-scale nuclear weapons.

Of course, in this plan, even coverage strikes require locations and inspections.

For example, the north and south poles contain a large amount of adsorption clay, former marine relics, and other places that contain a large amount of sedimentary carbon dioxide and water resources are the key targets.

These places are blasted, and the high temperature and pressure generated by the nuclear explosion stimulates carbon dioxide, methane and water vapor in Martian soil.

In addition, the shock wave generated by the nuclear bomb will also lift up the soil, forming a thick layer of dust on the surface of Mars.

These dust that covers the sky and the sun will spread throughout the planet with the Martian storm, thereby quickly increasing the temperature on the Martian surface in a short period of time.

In theory, this is indeed one of the feasible solutions.

And whether it is feasible, it is possible to conduct a "nuclear test" by finding the Mars surface full of carbon dioxide, detonate one or several nuclear bombs, test how many tons of gas and dust can be excited after detonation, what range of influence, etc.

An early experiment is enough to bring them a lot of data to whether this solution is feasible, etc.

The only problem is that it is necessary to increase the current nuclear weapons reserves of humanity.

With the current number of nuclear bombs in various countries, even if they hit the surface of Mars, they will only barely scrape Mars.

Of course, this is the second plan.

In this report, the first solution to transform the Martian atmosphere is far more radical than the second solution.
