I Have a Little Black Hole

Chapter 1009 Looking for evidence of the existence of life on Mars

Lei Tiantang didn't bother to pay any attention to this guy's complaints, and used his own abilities to fly away. He really wanted to explore Mars to see if there was any native life on Mars.

For thousands of years, scientists have been studying whether there is life on Mars. Now space experts have pointed out that there is a huge amount of frozen water underground on Mars, and water is the source of human survival. With the continuous development of science, Mars may become a second Earth suitable for human existence.

In theory, Mars has the ability to create life. Mars has the largest volcanoes and canyons in the solar system. It resembles a drained ocean bed with a prominent coastline. On Earth, riverbeds, alluvial plains, fossil lakes, and valleys left by floods can be found on Mars.

Its atmosphere is mainly composed of carbon dioxide, which is similar to the structure of Earth's atmosphere before life appeared. But Mars has barely any atmosphere and no flowing water.

If it ever had an ocean, then its atmosphere should be very dense. So where did they go? Are they still somewhere on Mars? Were they torn apart by a catastrophic cosmic collision?

Or does the magnetic field that once protected Mars disappear, leaving the entire planet exposed to the relentless scorching of sunlight and radiation from stars, and finally the water is slowly broken down into molecules, wiping out the atmosphere and ocean little by little?

Where are the organic molecules associated with life? Although they are not enough to create life, do the raindrops fall from space to Earth, do they also fall to Mars?

Scientists have found new evidence from a Martian meteorite discovered in Antarctica in 1984. According to reports, this meteorite named Alan Hills 84001 is a rock on the surface of Mars. It may have been hit by a comet or an asteroid and flew to the earth. It took 16 million years to land on the earth on the way. 13,000 years ago.

The chemical composition of the meteorite is consistent with the analysis of Martian atmospheric samples collected by humans in the 1970s, so it can be concluded that it is from Mars.

Scientists found a worm-like structure in the meteorite and speculated that it was most likely petrified bacteria. The bacteria were found below the surface of the meteorite, suggesting that they were already there when the meteorite arrived on Earth, rather than being invaded by bacteria on Earth in later years.

In addition, scientists have also found evidence of liquid water on Mars from this meteorite, proving that the red planet may have had conditions suitable for life in the past.

But even so, because of the insufficient number of samples, many scientists believe that it is unlikely to find life on Mars, because in the solar system where humans are located, there is no planet other than Earth that has conditions suitable for life to exist.

Of course, according to scientists' speculation, the soil under the Martian Olympus, which may be as high as 27,500 meters, can help the circulation of groundwater, which is the best place where life on Mars may exist.

According to the research of space experts, the water area of ​​Martian underground frozen water reaches 57,441 square kilometers and the water depth is 281 meters, which is more than twice that of Lake Michigan in the old United States with a capacity of 4,875 cubic kilometers.

If it is converted into Qinghai Lake with an area of ​​4,583 square kilometers, a water depth of 18.6 meters, and a lake water capacity of 85.4 cubic kilometers, it is enough to fill more than 114 Qinghai Lakes.

And now the detector of the Infinite Gravity Group has also proved this detection result. After Lei Tiantang came over, he also found that the error of this detection result is not large, so what he wants to know most at this moment is the Olympus Mountain and the like. Is there any presence of liquid water below the ground.

The existence of liquid water may make the existence of life on Mars a possibility, which is why he is too lazy to quarrel with Kuafu.

And Kuafu himself has a lot of work to do. He has a lot of exploration work to do when he just landed on the ground, so he doesn't care about his boss running around. Anyway, at the boss's flying speed, it only takes a few hours to go around Mars. things, and there is no need to worry about safety issues, so he has also continuously dispatched various detection equipment from the Moon spacecraft to work.

Lei Tiantang did not walk around Mars like Kuafu, but used his ability to scan the places he passed while flying. His preliminary exploration goals were also very clear, that is, those marked may have where liquid water exists.

The company's various probes have found traces of several saltwater lakes on Mars, and it is very likely that Martian life is hidden in them.

For example, the first place he has arrived now, this Martian saltwater lake is located near the famous Gale crater on Mars. The probe analyzed the soil samples collected in Gale crater and found that it contained various salts.

And the sulfate in it was confirmed to be what was left after the water evaporated, which proved that there was an ancient saltwater lake here a long time ago.

Scientists have long discovered that Mars was a warm and humid planet 3.7 billion years ago, but in the following time, a sudden climate change occurred, causing Mars to become dry. Such findings confirm this again.

On Earth, there are many different biomes in lagoons like this, so it's very likely that there is life like this in lagoons on Mars, and even if it's gone now, there's a good chance that life will be found Existing clues, such as various fossils.

At present, scientists do not have the ability to probe deeper underground on Mars, but now that he is on Mars, of course, he must satisfy his curiosity first.

Although he has never doubted the existence of extraterrestrial life, guessing is one thing, and having evidence to prove it is another. Different, if he can really find evidence of the existence of life on Mars, it will undoubtedly bring an epic shock to the earth!

But to his disappointment, there is indeed a small amount of ice with complex composition in the ground here, but there is no such existence as a liquid brine lake, but he was not disappointed, and flew directly to the next marked location.

Of course, his detection process was also transmitted to Kuafu in real time through the camera on the helmet, and the satellites they dropped on Mars orbit made their communication very smooth.

When Lei Tiantang probed all the way to the most famous spot on Mars, Lei Tiantang couldn't help but exclaimed: Damn it! This guy is too tall, the highest volcano in the solar system is really not a false name!
