Chapter 207, Exploring Mars ([-])
Very rare amino acids were found in the samples retrieved from the ice caps at the north and south poles of Mars. Although the amount is very rare, it still means that there may be extraterrestrial life on Mars. This will be the most important discovery of this century.

At the same time, it will completely change mankind's understanding of the universe, life, and the origin of species, which means that life should exist widely in the universe, and the earth is definitely not unique.

So at this time Liu Yi seemed very excited, and he could not wait to go to the north and south poles of Mars immediately to obtain ice cubes deeper under the ice cap, as well as liquid water that might exist.

"Teacher, don't worry. Anyway, we won't leave for a while. Tomorrow we will arrange people to land on Mars to obtain more information about deeper soil and ice."

Li Fu seemed very calm. He didn't find it strange at all about extraterrestrial life, or even alien life, because among the seeds of super civilization, he had seen countless alien species.

Li Fu knows that life exists in every corner of the universe. The earth is definitely not the only living planet in the universe. Of course, it does not mean that a living planet like the earth is not precious. On the contrary, although there are many lives in the universe, there is nothing like the earth. Such a top life planet is still a very precious resource, and it is something that all major civilizations must compete for.

The ecology of the earth that has been multiplied for countless billions of years is very precious. With countless species, it is like an oasis in the vast cosmic desert, an oasis of life, which breeds countless lives, and more importantly, it can breed a race with wisdom.

Early the next morning, when Li Fu was still floating in his room to rest, Li Fu's teacher Liu Yi hurriedly woke Li Fu up. Day and night, but everyone's work and rest are still on the earth's side. He didn't rest almost all night because he was too excited.

"Teacher, there is really no need to be in a hurry. We have plenty of time. Besides, the landing on Mars needs to be carefully planned and cannot be done casually."

Li Fu was a little helpless, looking at Liu Yi's eyes reddened, it was really hard to say anything.

"Of course I know, but I still can't wait. You must know that if life is really found on Mars, even a very simple microorganism, this will be one of the most important discoveries of this century, enough to surpass our previous discoveries. The understanding of the universe and the origin of life."

Liu Yi was still very excited at this time, and conducted another analysis and research on the samples collected from the ice caps at the north and south poles of Mars last night to make sure that he did not make any mistakes.

"Old Liu, you didn't sleep well this morning and yelled nonsense here. Even if you have something big to do, you have to rest well before you can finish it."

Liu Shiying squinted his eyes at this time, obviously still not awake, in the spaceship, with a light push with both hands, the whole person floated lightly.

"Old Liu, you still have the nerve to talk about me. I remember when you confessed to your sister-in-law when you were in college, but you dragged everyone to work together in the middle of the night. If you get anxious, you will be more anxious than anyone else."

Liu Yi naturally blew his beard and stared at Liu Shiying, and reported Liu Shiying's old background when he was young, which caused the people who heard it to burst into laughter.

In the command room of the "Ocean" spacecraft, everyone attaches great importance to the manned landing on Mars. This can be regarded as the first time in human history to set foot on other planets. The moon can only be regarded as a satellite of the earth. , not an independent planet.

Naturally, there are no technical problems at all. Although the aerospace plane cannot land on Mars, the traditional jet landing spacecraft was very successful in landing on Mars yesterday. There is no technical difficulty. The key is How to ensure the safety of astronauts as much as possible.

Manned landing on Mars is not unmanned landing after all. The most important thing is to ensure the safety of astronauts. Although I don’t know how many times I have landed on the moon, compared with the moon, Mars is actually more dangerous because the "Ocean" spaceship Every day, the spacecraft can watch the Martian storm that sweeps across the globe of Mars from space.

The unique geographical environment of Mars, the huge temperature difference between day and night, and the incomparably desolate surface have laid the foundation for the prevalence of large storms. Once a storm appears, it is not a simple game like this on the earth. Sweeping across Mars.

Of course, scientists have also carefully discovered that after a major storm occurs in an area, basically there is no need to worry about another major storm in a short period of time. As long as the timing is right, relative safety is guaranteed. Otherwise, if once In the event of a big storm on Mars, the safety of astronauts will be difficult to guarantee.

"Principal, the big storm on the South Pole of Mars and Earth has just passed, at least there is no need to worry about a big storm for a few days."

Li Quanjiang drifted over gently and reported the latest Martian weather information. This time following the principal, he learned a lot. Of course, he also met many seniors in the scientific community, all of whom are well-known and well-known in the scientific community. , so the general errands are done by students from Sanjiang University.

"Haha, great, the big storm has finally passed."

Before Li Fu could speak, Liu Yi, who had been impatient for a long time, laughed happily.

"Well, tell Luo Xiaoyao and Zhan Fei to be more careful and pay attention to safety."

Li Fu nodded lightly, and ordered to land on Mars.

Inside the huge "Ocean" spacecraft, two small spaceships slowly flew out of the huge hatch. Although they are small spaceships, they are only small compared to the "Ocean" , in fact, each spaceship is more than 2 meters high and more than 20 meters in diameter, and it is also a huge spaceship in the void.

This is a spaceship specially made by scientists for landing. Yesterday, it completely relied on computer control to implement unmanned landing on Mars. It was very successful without any problems.

The two spacecraft are getting farther and farther away from the "Ocean" spacecraft, and they are constantly adjusting their orbits and angles in space. Soon, after the orbit adjustment is completed, the No. 1 spacecraft is like a duck diving, and it is loaded into Mars. .

In spaceship No. 1, Luo Xiaoyao felt tremendous pressure, and he seemed resolute and decisive. In his mind, the virtual machine sent all kinds of information about the spaceship. At this time, the spaceship was still automatically controlled by the computer, and it had not been switched to Manual operation.

In the sky of the ice cap of Mars’ south pole, the No. 1 spacecraft, like a god descending from the sky, drew an arc in the void, and soon, its bottom began to spit out flames to slow down, and a huge gun above its head The parachute also opened, and the speed suddenly decreased, and it began to slowly descend to the surface of Mars.

At the landing point, the powerful airflow blows the gravel, sand, etc. on the ground into the sky, and suddenly the sand and rocks fly away, covering the sky and the sun, feeling a bit like a big storm, but fortunately, the spacecraft landed slowly on the surface of Mars. , the engine shut down, so everything gradually calmed down.

"Login was very successful!"

Whether it was the No. 1 spacecraft, the "Ocean" spacecraft, or the No. 2 spacecraft that was about to land, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the unmanned landing experiment was carried out yesterday, there are still many risks in the actual manned landing on the moon. After all, there is too much sand on the surface of Mars. If it is like the desert on the earth, if you accidentally enter If it falls into the quicksand, it's over.

Of course, scientists also used satellites to detect the surface of Mars in advance, and they also knew the distribution of the surface landforms of Mars to some extent. Naturally, they would not randomly choose the place to land.

Here at the ice cap at the South Pole of Mars, the hatch on the No. 1 spacecraft slowly opened, and the unmanned exploration engineering vehicle slowly drove out from the spacecraft. More than ten unmanned exploration engineering vehicles came out one after another. Each engineering vehicle They all began to detect the surrounding world to ensure the safety of the surroundings.

"Temperature, minus 20 degrees."

"Air pressure of 0.1 atmospheres."

"Good lighting, strong UV rays."

"..."

"It's safe, you can go out!"

In Spaceship No. 1, the information detected by the engineering vehicle was sent to everyone's mind through the virtual machine. With a light wave of Luo Xiaoyao's hand, the astronauts who had already put on their spacesuits began to move.

At the exit of the spacecraft, a camera captured the entire process of the astronauts landing on Mars. Luo Xiaoyao, wearing a spacesuit, stepped gently on the Martian land, guessing a very clear footprint on the red soil.

This scene was quickly transmitted to the "Ocean" spacecraft, and a few seconds later it was quickly transmitted to the earth through the communication system on the "Ocean" spacecraft.

“我国宇航员罗逍遥于帝都时间2024年5月18日10时34分左右成功登陆火星！”

Just a few minutes later, all major Chinese news media, virtual worlds, etc. reported the incident, accompanied by the video of Luo Xiaoyao and others landing on Mars, and publicized it vigorously.

Although landing on the moon is not the first of our Chinese people, but the first thing of landing on Mars is impossible. It is also a very worthwhile celebration for China now.

"After 55 years, human beings took another step in the history of space development. Chinese astronaut Luo Xiaoyao successfully landed on Mars, marking another step forward for human beings to go to the universe."

Although the foreign news media are very jealous, they have no choice but to report this matter as a major event for all mankind. In any case, this is also a major progress for mankind.

On the South Pole side of Mars, Luo Xiaoyao and others naturally don't know how the Earth side reported it. At this moment, they are all carefully looking at this novel world.

"Damn it, why is the sun blue?"

"It's really blue. This is the first time I've seen this blue sun!"

"Weird!"

"Blue Sun!"

……

Astronauts who landed on Mars looked up at the sky, and immediately discovered a strange phenomenon. The sun that is so dazzling on the earth that cannot be seen directly with the naked eye, to Mars, because the distance is farther than the earth, and through the helmet of the space suit Filtered by the mirror, you can look directly at the past.

Looking at the sun on Mars, it turns out to be blue, not completely blue, but this blue sun is still very attractive, and it cannot be seen on the earth at all.

"The atmosphere of Mars is thin, and there are many and large dust particles. Mir scattering mainly occurs, which scatters red light with the same wavelength as its own particle size. However, the red part of the sunlight coming from the line of sight is scattered, so the sun you see will be blue. .”

The scientists on the "Ocean" who also obtained the image quickly analyzed the reason, that is, there are many and large dust particles in the atmosphere of Mars, which will scatter the red part of the sunlight, and it will be visible to everyone's naked eyes. It will be bluish, which is the same as the principle of rainbows on the earth, that is, the scattering of light.

"Everyone, don't make a fuss. This is a problem of light scattering. In the future, when you go to other alien planets and see purple, green, and blue suns, don't make a fuss, or you will be called a bumpkin!"

"I thought there was something special about it. It turned out that it was simply the scattering of sunlight, which made me so happy that I had discovered a new continent!" The first astronaut who discovered that the sun on Mars looked blue mumbled.

"Haha, the climate of each planet is different. In the future, if we transform Mars and increase the precipitation to return the atmospheric dust particles of Mars to the ground through rainfall, the sun on Mars will be no different from that on Earth. !"

Through the global positioning and communication satellites established on Mars, the scientists on the "Ocean" spacecraft can communicate with Luo Xiaoyao and other astronauts who have landed on Mars at any time.

In a world composed of desolation, dryness, cold, desert, gravel, etc., Luo Xiaoyao and others started to work on the world. A special large-scale engineering vehicle slowly drove out of the spaceship and began to prepare for drilling to obtain deep-seated water. Dirt, ice, and possibly liquid water.

On the other hand, the No. 2 spacecraft in space also began to land on Mars, but it did not land on the Antarctic ice cap. Scientists have used resource exploration satellites to explore the resources on Mars in advance and found that there may be rich minerals The area of ​​resources, the destination of the No. 2 spacecraft is an area where there may be rich mineral resources.

After all, it is impossible to put two spacecrafts here on the Antarctic ice cap, and collecting samples does not require so many manpower and machinery, and one spacecraft is enough.

PS: Haha, the new year is here, I wish all book lovers happiness and health in the new year, and a prosperous year of the dog!

　Surprise, I guess I am the only one who guesses the codewords on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
