Chapter 279 Mars Project II
As for the technology of changing the planet's magnetic field, human technology has not been able to achieve it so far, but the specific matter will have to wait until the scientific research ship comes back from Mars. After all, although the scientists of the Ming Empire have been comparing the earth's magnetic field with each other for more than ten years, Some surveys have been done on the nearest stars, and unmanned aerial vehicles have even been dispatched to conduct landing surveys. However, they are unmanned probes after all. They can only get a preliminary understanding of Mars. The specific information can only be obtained after the scientific research spacecraft arrives at Mars. detected.
Over the past ten years, the scientists of the Ming Empire have concluded that the diameter of Mars is only about half that of the Earth, its volume is only 1/10 that of the Earth, nine times that of the Moon, and its gravity is only 2/5 that of the Earth and 2.5 times that of the Moon. times, the volume of the entire Mars is only about 15% of that of the Earth. It can be said that the overall size of Mars is very different from that of the Earth, but it is much better than the Moon. However, due to the cooling of the core, Mars has no self like the Moon. However, unlike the moon, Mars is directly exposed to space, so it is greatly affected by the solar wind, but the moon is different from the earth. Although the moon is more than 30 kilometers away from the earth, the moon is still within the earth's magnetic field protection area. Within, it is much less affected by the solar wind.
The rotation speed of Mars is about 24.62 hours, which is a little slower than the rotation speed of the earth, but the revolution speed of Mars is very long. It takes 687 days for one revolution, which means that it takes two years for Mars to complete one revolution. .
This time, the place where Mars is closest to the Earth is also the most important place for scientists in the Ming Empire who are in favor of transforming Mars. After all, in the entire solar system, the only planet with a rotation speed comparable to that of the Earth is Mars.
Although there are four seasons on Mars, the temperature difference on Mars is very large. The maximum temperature difference can reach 160 degrees. The average temperature of Mars is about -36 degrees, and the temperature in winter is about -133 degrees. degrees or so.
Although the temperature difference on Mars is very large, although the temperature difference on Mars is very large, it is not impossible to change. With the current technology of human beings, the temperature difference on Mars can still be achieved, but the most important thing is the density of the atmosphere on Mars, that is, the atmosphere on Mars. The problem.
It is precisely because Mars is too small, its gravity is not enough, and there is no protection of the magnetic field, so whenever the solar wind comes, it is very easy to cause the atmosphere of Mars to escape, so the atmosphere on Mars is very thin, and it can even be said that there is nothing. After all Inferences were made from the samples collected by Imperial scientists and probes.
The average concentration of the Martian atmosphere is only one percent of that of the Earth, and the most important composition is more than 95% of which is composed of carbon dioxide gas, while the rest is composed of nitrogen, argon, and water vapor.
It can be said that the environment of Mars is very harsh. If you want to transform it, just the atmosphere of Mars will cost humans countless time and money. After all, the transformation of Mars does not mean that you can change it if you want, but now the Ming Empire still has Many scientists are very keen on terraforming Mars.
However, the Ming Empire government is very clear about the thoughts of these people, and many government officials of the Ming Empire agree with them. After all, with the increase of human population, the earth will definitely not be able to satisfy the endless growth of human population within 50 years. After all, although the earth is huge, and human technology is very fast now, the major deserts on the earth have now been governed, and the earth can support another 200 billion people with the current situation. There is absolutely no problem.
But after 20 years, the population of the Ming Empire will definitely exceed 300 billion. Although the Ming Empire can rely on technology to increase the yield of crops, it can even use genetic technology to make plants more suitable for space and the moon. Survival, so that everyone in the Ming Empire will have enough food to sustain life, but the population of the Ming Empire will continue to grow. If you don't think of a way now, it will be too late, and Mars is the closest to the earth.
Although there are various difficulties in transforming Mars, and there are many things that are still difficult to achieve under current technological conditions, the Ming Empire is very confident that it can overcome these difficulties in the next 20 years, and in this regard Zhu Lei himself There is absolutely no doubt that the current wisdom of mankind, especially the wisdom of scientists, is no longer what it used to be. Although wisdom potions have not yet been popularized throughout the Ming Empire and cannot be truly mass-produced, the wisdom potions have It began to be used by scientists from the Ming Empire who had made outstanding contributions in various fields, so the brain development and wisdom of these scientists has been greatly improved.
Therefore, it is feasible to overcome various difficulties in transforming Mars in 20 years, and even if there are difficulties that cannot be overcome, Zhu Lei still has a mall. With the advent of nuclear fusion technology, technology in this area can still be found.
Therefore, it is decided after planning. The Ming Empire has already started the second step towards the universe more than ten years ago, which is the so-called Mars plan. Of course, the time span of the second plan of the Ming Empire is very poor. The whole plan needs 50 to 100 years time.
And this plan is also divided into three steps. The first step is to send a Mars probe to conduct detailed reconnaissance of the space around Mars, understand the changes in the magnetic field in the surrounding areas of Mars, and investigate the geography and landforms of Mars.Then send a Mars probe to land on Mars to conduct further detailed investigations on the atmosphere, soil, and environment of Mars, and then collect Martian soil samples and return them to the moon for detailed analysis. After obtaining detailed data, the second step will begin.
The second step of the plan is to send a manned scientific research spacecraft to conduct further investigations on Mars. After all, compared with humans, machines are very rigid. Even if the Ming Empire now has very advanced intelligent technology, it is still far from being comparable to humans. , so it is very necessary to send a scientific research spacecraft to conduct a further investigation of Mars, and sending a scientific research spacecraft to conduct an overall inspection of Mars is also the most important means of collecting data on Mars, and the scientific research personnel, in addition to conducting an overall inspection of me first , It will also exhaust scientific research personnel to land on Mars for in-depth investigations, and scientific research personnel will also establish scientific research bases on Mars to learn more about various activities on Mars and transmit data back to Earth. The third and most important step is to modify the environment of Mars after the spacecraft completes the investigation of Mars and establishes a data model. This step is also the most difficult step of all links, but people who agree with this plan are very Confident that Mars can be transformed into a planet suitable for human habitation.
