Sand is known to be unable to retain moisture and fertility and is scattered by wind, causing desertification.

Dongguo has done a lot of research on this. One of their research teams proposed a key mechanical theory of sand soiling: soil particles have universal constraints, but sand particles do not.

They gave a plan for soiling the Martian sandy soil: using a fabricated fiber adhesive to restore the universal constraints, so that the soil can be initially obtained, and then enough water is applied, and the soil becomes arable land.

The effectiveness of this theory and soilization program has been verified in the process of desert control in Dongguo.

There was nothing wrong with their plan and ideas, but Harry had a more effective and lower-cost animal fiber adhesive: spider silk solution.

After a certain amount of dilution, the mucus showed better results. Now they got a lot of soil. After months of cultivation, there were no problems and the crops sprouted normally.

Not only that, these plants hybridized with Alfheim plants include not only crops, but also sand-resistant plants used to improve the environment.

Both plants are growing normally, which means their next step is entirely feasible: improving the ecological environment of the colony.

This will be a big project.

“Now that the soilization plan is feasible, our next goal is to build a water transport network in the colony and soilize the colony using fibrous sand fixatives.”

As far as building an ecological environment is concerned, the problems of sunlight, water sources and soil have been solved, and the next step is the air environment.

"The deployment of the magnetic dipole shield has been completed and it appears to be operating well. The impact of solar wind has been reduced by 73%, and greenhouse gas transport is normal."

By deploying a magnetic dipole generation device at a suitable location on Mars, an artificial magnetic field can be generated. Harry had been studying this thing with Oyce during the days when he was bored on the Skyhammer.

With the help of Oyce and Leinen, electromagnetism had no secrets for him from an applied perspective.

After precise calculations, they have completed the deployment at the deployment point. The generated magnetic field can ensure that the solar wind is pushed away and the damage of the solar wind to the Martian atmosphere is weakened.

This means that the Martian atmosphere is beginning to gradually recover, and as time goes by, Mars will have a new atmosphere.

Although not as stable as the Earth's atmosphere, this atmosphere is strong enough to support plant growth.

But Harry couldn't wait that long.

Stark Industries has found a way to collect a large number of greenhouse gases, and continuously transports rockets filled with greenhouse gases over the disaster-prone Japanese archipelago.

These gases will be emitted into the Martian atmosphere, increasing the speed of atmospheric recovery.

Increased air pressure would heat the equator, causing the polar ice caps to collapse, releasing more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The atmosphere would heat up, melt the ice, and allow liquid water to return to Mars.

But again, Harry didn't want to wait for the ice cap to melt naturally. Now that they were sure that the artificial magnetic field was working properly, they could speed up the process.

"The hydrogen bomb has been deployed..." The person in charge on the opposite side of the video paused slightly. He had no authority to issue such a level of instructions.

The so-called way to speed up the process is to continuously bombard the polar ice caps with hydrogen bombs to artificially speed up the process.

After being upgraded from a Skyhammer consultant to a UNSC consultant, the Osborne Group has become qualified to produce nuclear weapons. Now it is time to mobilize such weapons.

"Drop a hydrogen bomb."

Harry issued the order to A according to the plan, and the carrier spacecraft in orbit dropped the devastating bomb in accordance with the order.

This time, however, the explosion was not about destruction, but about creating a new home.

A small sun rises slowly from the Arctic ice cap of Mars, and carbon dioxide and water vapor rise into the atmosphere in large quantities as expected.

The gas produced by the first bombardment basically met the standard, and the ice cap melted by 9%. The change in air pressure set off a large storm that swept across Mars. The crustal activity that had stopped long ago also joined in the fun, but the intensity was very low.

Since the moisture content in the atmosphere is still relatively low, the precipitation will be acid rain at first. With subsequent bombardments, accelerated dissolution of ice caps and development of groundwater resources, the PH value of rainwater will gradually increase and approach normal levels.

The first rain occurred 10 days later. Through the observation window, all the colonists saw this drizzle on the barren land.

Even if you know that this is acid rain that is harmful to animals and plants, this rainfall is still shocking:

Mars and rainfall are two things that once seemed completely unrelated to each other.

This day was established by the Mars colony as "Rain Day" to commemorate the first rainfall on Mars.

Under the influence of various human technological tools, this long-dead planet has become somewhat alive.

"Sir, ecology is really a wonderful subject." Oyce said with emotion while monitoring the atmospheric data.

"Why do you say that?"

"The core of Mars cooled for some reason, and then the plate movement stopped, the water stopped flowing, and ice caps formed at two levels, and to this day - activating its magnetic field is like reviving the dead with an electric shock.

All its signs are recovering. "

Oyce's sentiments are not unreasonable. The ecosystem is indeed very delicate. In a sense, it is similar to the human body.

The nuclear bomb bombardment is like a special medicine that needs to be taken for a long time, and the magnetic dipole shield is like a heart stent or other medical equipment.

Now that Mars has been gradually revived by them, it only takes a little time. Mars may still not be as good as the earth, the mother planet of mankind, but it can also become a good colony.

[Mission: Planet Transformation]

[Modify the habitability of the first human colony to above 80%]

[Mars habitability: 20%]

This is a follow-up to the colonization mission. The 20% seems to prove that there is no need to improve the habitability of the entire Mars to more than 80%.

You must know that except for the Mayflower Colony, which has begun to sow lichens, cyanobacteria, and bryophytes, Mars in other places is still lifeless, and even has many toxic pools due to acid rain.

These genetically engineered lichens are strong enough to grow on modified soil and rock formations. The acidic substances they secrete will dissolve the hard Martian rocks, and their dead remains will pile up on the rock surface, providing a source of herbaceous plants. Create conditions for survival.

At the same time, these plants generally have strong water absorption capabilities and can effectively prevent soil erosion.

Over time, the land's environment will improve enough to support the growth of herbaceous plants, then dwarf woody plants, and finally tall trees...

New plants that have acquired genes from Alfheim will change the ecological environment of the entire colony and continue to expand outward.

The colony is expected to cover an area of ​​2800 square kilometers. When the environment outside the spacecraft reaches a safe level as planned, they can even leave the spacecraft and build buildings outside. A real colonial city will rise in this desolate land.

"Our heroic pioneers have completed preliminary construction on the surface of Mars, a giant step for all humanity --

This is not an isolated act of one country. Under the leadership of Harry Osborn, the UNSC colonists include colonists from 50 different countries.

The UNSC Mayflower TV station issued a recruitment order to the world, and the space age began.
