Great Power Technology: Starting from the Nantianmen Project

Chapter 178 Arriving at the South Pole of Mars! Forty-five areas where water resources may exist!
Sunset on Mars.

This is how everyone truly calms down.

Go watch the sunset on Mars.

Unlike on Earth, the sunsets on Mars are not fiery red.

Instead it is a light blue.

This kind of cold light color can make people feel the cold temperature just by looking at it.

"If you don't understand, ask."

At this time, Pang Lao on the side asked: "Why do we watch the sunset from Mars?"

"It emits a blue glow?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wenyuan immediately explained:
"That's because when sunlight enters the Martian atmosphere, Mie scattering occurs."

"It is because of this phenomenon that the light turns into this color."

"The atmosphere of Mars is very thin, and there is no rain on the surface of Mars."

"So, this also results in dust particles covering various areas on Mars."

"And because of the weak gravity on Mars, these particles will easily float and gather in the Martian atmosphere."

"This will form Martian dust that has been floating for hundreds of millions of years."

"Because the dust particles are larger than the wavelength of visible light."

"Plus, the wavelengths of these dust particles are much closer to the red and orange scattering."

"When the light is against you."

"The red waves will become less."

"After this series of light changes, what finally appears before our eyes is a blue glow."

After listening to Li Wenyuan’s explanation.

Mr. Pang scratched his head and nodded as if he understood.

The netizens in the live broadcast room were once again shocked.

"Good boy! We have been taught a lesson by Master Li again!"

"Yes!"

"But with Mr. Li's explanation, we can understand many of the phenomena."

"Of course, Mr. Li Wenyuan and Mr. He Yan are the president and vice president of our National Institute of Astrophysics."

"How many cosmological theories have won international status?"

"This is a true expert, Professor!"

Just as netizens were discussing this.

Mars Ark Base.

As the blue sun continued to set, it finally fell below the horizon.

And then the night fell.

Along with the night comes the bone-chilling cold temperature.

[Current environment around the Ark Ecological Base: -49 degrees]

【The temperature environment changes...】

[Current environment around the Ark Ecological Base: -57 degrees]

【The temperature environment changes...】

At this time, Pang Lao and others were looking at the constantly changing degrees on the display.

Couldn't help but gasp.

"The temperature changes too fast!"

"The sun has only just set, not even ten minutes ago, right?"

"The temperature has reached almost minus sixty degrees."

"This is going to freeze me to death!"

Mr. Pang couldn't help but complain.

[Current ambient temperature around the Ark Ecological Base: -70 degrees]

[Readings refreshed…]

[Current ambient temperature around the Ark Ecological Base: -87 degrees]

finally.

The temperature outside the entire Mars Ark Ecological Base dropped to minus 87 degrees Celsius.

The value has also completely stabilized.

"Oh my goodness, it's minus eighty-seven degrees!"

Seeing this scene, Lu Tian couldn't help but cough twice: "Brother Jiang."

"At this temperature."

"Even if we have been injected with the improved version of the SPM superhuman gene."

"I'm afraid you can't bear it?"

"I can't bear it." Jiang Li looked at the horrible low temperature and couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"Although our bodies have been injected with the second-generation SPM enhanced gene drug."

"But it's impossible to last more than half an hour in this environment."

"after all."

"A temperature over -80 degrees Celsius can already cause a certain degree of damage to our strengthened bodies."

After listening to Jiang Li's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Well, it's getting late today."

"Let's rest."

"We still have a lot of tasks to complete tomorrow morning."

Jiang Li exhaled lightly and spoke quickly.

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded.

Then they left each other.

The temperature outside the Mars Ark Ecological Base continued to drop.

Even at night.

The lowest temperature dropped to around -110 degrees Celsius.

However, even the temperature outside was so terribly low.

But it still cannot cause any substantial impact on the interior of the Mars Ark Ecological Base.

First of all, it is naturally because of the adaptive module within the Mars Ark Ecological Base.

In addition, there are thousands of small nuclear fusion devices installed inside.

The environment and low temperature are difficult for this Mars Ark ecological base.

There are no problems.

The next day.

Early morning of the Martian day.

The rotation time of Mars and Earth differs by only about half an hour.

Therefore, all the scientific researchers who come here do not need to adjust to the time difference again.

It can completely operate according to the biological clock on Earth.

"Engineer Jiang, the expansion project of Area B of Mars Ark has begun!"

“It is expected to be completed in three days!”

"Report to Jiang Gong!"

"The expansion project of Area C of the Mars Ark has also started."

"This is because of the complex terrain."

“It will take about four to five days.”

"Jiang Gong!"

"..."

With more and more reports, Jiang Li also began to quickly deal with the expansion and construction of the Mars Ark Base.

After all, the Martian Ark modules he brought were limited.

So expand and build.

It is also an indispensable part.

It is necessary to ensure that the scientific research and ecological base on Mars is large enough.

Otherwise, many scientific research projects would simply not be able to be carried out.

For example, the area alone is used to store the one hundred Red Falcon transport aircraft.

It occupies a quarter of the base area.

Expansion and construction is naturally an indispensable part.

Moreover, the Utopia Plain on Mars is filled with countless mineral resources.

These resources don't even require excessive mining.

If you dig ten or eight meters underground, you will find rare minerals.

This is an accelerated expansion of the construction project!

Time flies.

Under Jiang Li's orderly control, ten days later.

A base even larger than the previous Mars Ark Ecological Base has appeared!
"Mars Ark!"

“This is the real Martian Ark!”

On the morning of that day, Lu Tian and others looked at the completely completed "Mars Ark" base in front of them.

Everyone's heart is filled with a strong sense of pride!

First of all, the size is ten times larger than the previous Ark!
Within the base, the longest distance between the two ends is more than 200 kilometers!

This place has become a super base!
At this moment, everyone was looking at the terrifying dome of the Martian base in front of them, which was hundreds of meters high.

Everyone's heart was filled with pride.

And everyone was once again filled with admiration for Jiang Li in their hearts!
Because within these ten days, Jiang Li personally arranged and followed up.

They can optimize all the details.

And finally, the expansion of the Mars Ark Base can be completely completed today!
"Come on, let's go in."

Jiang Li looked at the Ark Base in front of him and said with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, everyone entered the core first-level base from the second-level base!
The Mars Ark Base originally only had the innermost core base.

But under Jiang Li's expansion.

It has become a three-layer closed structure.

The outermost layer is the third layer.

This place has the most complete ecological cycle device, which directly isolates all external environments and harsh weather on Mars from this layer.

The second floor is the scientific research base and everyone’s residence.

There are also daily scientific research projects, all of which are carried out on the second floor of the Ark.

And the first layer.

This is the core base of the Mars Ark Base, and it is the most core area.

It also carries out some extremely difficult scientific and technological projects and maintains the core area of ​​the entire Mars Ark Base.

All the power energy also comes from here.

[Ding! Gravity field restart completed...]

this moment.

Everyone once again felt the same gravity as on Earth.

[Ding! Ecosystem restart completed...]

[Ding! The experimental cabin is about to open...]

【drop!……】

With the launch of one Mars scientific research project after another.

Ten thousand top scientific researchers immediately took up their respective duties.

Everyone is responsible for a project.

Ultimately, these projects are all aimed at “restarting Mars”!
"call!"

Arrived at the core base building on the first floor of the Ark.

Jiang Li rubbed his face vigorously.

Then he took a breath.

"Now, the Mars base expansion project has been completely stabilized."

“The internal adaptive ecological circulation system has also been completely completed.”

"Right now, even if we live here for hundreds of years, there won't be any problems."

"so…"

Jiang Li came to the work platform and waved his right hand.

In front of everyone's eyes, an extremely huge three-dimensional simulated image of Mars suddenly appeared.

The dark red planet appeared again in front of everyone.

"A week ago, I asked Zhang Ke to launch thirty Mars probes."

"These probes have already been deployed over Mars."

"Right now, this simulation image is the current real-time monitoring image of Mars."

After Jiang Li finished speaking.

He Yan, Li Wenyuan, Mr. Xu, Mr. Pang, Mr. Ye and others in front of him all nodded.

"If we really want to restart Mars."

"We want it to have the same ecological environment as on Earth."

“We must solve the most important problem.”

Jiang Li slowly raised his right hand.

The three-dimensional particle virtual imaging immediately simulated a ball of water on Jiang Li's right hand.

As Jiang Li shook gently.

This small ball of water also swayed left and right twice.

“Water resources!”

"Other life forms, we don't know."

“It is also undetectable.”

"but."

"For our carbon-based life form, water resources are indispensable to us!"

"So right now, the first task we need to solve is...

“It’s water resources!”

"And water resources are also an important key to whether we can restart Mars."

"Water can not only be used for drinking, but also be decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen."

"And these gases can be used to improve the current atmospheric composition of Mars." Upon hearing this, Li Wenyuan nodded in agreement: "Yes."

"The current Martian atmosphere is really too bad."

"For organisms like us humans."

“It’s just extremely bad.”

"The current composition of the Martian atmosphere is basically all carbon dioxide."

“There are also many other trace gases.”

"The approximate proportion is about 95.3% carbon dioxide."

"Nitrogen is about 2.78%."

"There's also 1.6% argon, and various other weak gases."

"As for the oxygen content on Mars."

"It's only a pitiful 0.15% or so."

"so."

"For us humans, whether Mars can have the water resources we need is of paramount importance."

Jiang Li heard this and said:

"Yesterday, I asked Zhang Ke to conduct a comprehensive exploration of Mars."

"at present."

“Some areas have been identified.”

"And there is a high probability that there are vast amounts of water resources underground in these areas."

"What we are going to do next."

“It means conducting deeper exploration underground within these resources.”

“Make sure we have the water we need.”

After Jiang Li finished speaking, he winked at Zhang Ke who was standing beside him.

Zhang Ke understood immediately.

Then he took a quick step forward and walked to Jiang Li's side.

Then he turned around.

Said to Li Wenyuan and others in front of him.

"According to the exploration results of the probes we deployed above Mars."

"Forty-five areas on Mars with a high probability of having water resources have been identified."

After saying this, Zhang Ke clicked a few times on one side of the simulated image of Mars in front of him.

Afterwards, I only saw "A1 to A9" and then "B1 to B9".

The numbering goes all the way up to "E9".

45 blue spots of light suddenly appeared on Mars.

The coordinates are marked on each light spot.

"These areas are areas where there is a high probability of large amounts of water underground."

After Zhang Ke finished speaking.

Jiang Li took a step forward.

Then he looked at Li Wenyuan and all the scientific research team leaders behind him.

"so."

"Our first mission today."

"We will head to these forty-five target points on Mars and detect underground water resources!"

"I announce!"

Jiang Li said loudly: "The first step of the Mars project!"

"Find water! Act now!!"

Upon hearing this, the captains of all the scientific research teams under the pedestal immediately nodded!
Half an hour later.

Mars, above Utopia Plains.

The side of the Red Falcon transport plane at the Ark Base.

Forty-five Mars exploration teams have been neatly lined up here.

Each group consists of twenty-five people.

Then forty-five Falcon transport aircraft were launched.

As the Red Kestrel pilot operated the Red Kestrel to fly out of the base.

Then it landed on the base square outside.

Jiang Li looked at the forty-five research teams in front of him and said solemnly:

"Everyone, get going!"

"Remember, follow the detection route and coordinates we planned before."

"Conduct groundwater resource exploration in the area."

“After discovering water resources, analyze their composition as quickly as possible.”

"Then report to me immediately!"

"Yes! Engineer Jiang!" The captains of the forty-five scientific research teams responded immediately and heavily.

"Okay, let's go!"

Jiang Li was also not vague and waved his hand!
Afterwards, these members immediately began to enter the Red Falcon transport plane.

Jiang Li was no exception. He quickly brought Zhang Ke and others to the Red Falcon Unit 01.

"Jiang Gong!"

Inside the Red Falcon Zero One, Lu Pengfei had been waiting for a long time.

After seeing Jiang Li and others coming in one after another.

He said excitedly.

"Ah."

When Jiang Li saw that everyone was present, he quickly said, "Xiao Lu."

"set off!"

"Yes!" Lu Pengfei nodded excitedly again.

Then he calmly operated the Red Falcon Unit 01 and began to fly towards the second floor of the Mars base.

Following Unit 01 is Unit 02, Red Falcon.

Next is number 03.

Then it was number 04…all the way up to number 45.

A total of forty-five Red Falcon transport planes began to fly towards the second level of the Mars base, after passing through the flight channel.

Then we came to the third floor.

then.

After all the Red Falcon transport planes passed through the narrower flight channel.

Then they left the Mars Ark Base.

Arrived outside the Ark base.

[Ding! Current external temperature of Red Falcon Unit 12: - degrees]

Although the sun has risen, the surrounding temperature is still below zero.

Only when the sun is shining brightly can the temperature in some areas barely reach above zero.

But that only lasts about an hour.

"This time our target mission is the South Pole of Mars."

Jiang Li pointed to the South Pole of the 3D map of Mars in front of him and said:

"According to our previous detection."

"The South Pole of Mars has an ice cap that is more extensive than the North Pole."

"So, here, the probability of finding a large amount of water resources will be greater."

"Our goal this time is to reach the South Pole of Mars."

"To conduct a deep exploration of the underground ice in the area."

"Then see if there is liquid water underground at the South Pole of Mars."

As Jiang Li narrated the actions of this mission.

Li Wenyuan and a scientific research team in front of him were also listening carefully.

Only Lu Tian came to the side.

Holding the nanoworms, live broadcast the scene of Mars outside the observation window.

"Mars is still as barren as ever."

"That's not desolate, this is Mars."

"It's not our Earth."

Netizens couldn't help but speak out as they looked out the window at the barren surface of Mars through the live broadcast room.

"Don't worry, everyone."

"Our Jiang Shen has already started to implement the Mars Restart Plan."

"Right now, we are heading to the South Pole of Mars."

"Then go and detect whether there is water resources over there."

Lu Tian is very confident in Jiang Li's "Restarting Mars" plan.

Because, in his cognition.

As long as it is the plan set by Brother Jiang, it will definitely succeed!

All you need to do is trust Brother Jiang unconditionally!
"On-site detection! Just ask, who else in the world can do it?"

"Only our Jiang Shen!"

"Yes!"

"Only God Jiang!"

"Jiang God! Jiang God!!"

Just as netizens in the live broadcast room were looking forward to it.

The Red Falcon Unit 01 is about to reach the South Pole region of Mars.

Mars' diameter is only about half that of Earth.

The total surface area of ​​Mars is only the same as the area of ​​Earth's land.

Plus, the Red Falcon transport plane’s engine is extremely ferocious.

Although it is not possible to directly start a super-speed operation of Mach 24000 on Mars.

Because if you do that, it will directly cause terrible atmospheric disturbances on Mars.

The force of the disturbance alone can cause a horrific storm on Mars that would sweep across the globe.

This is not worth the gain.

Therefore, for flight missions on Mars, all Red Falcon transport aircraft also use ordinary Space Falcon engines.

This speed is enough for Mars.

Ten minutes later.

"Reporting to Jiang Gong, this is the responsible team of Area A1, we have successfully arrived at the designated area."

"We have already started surveying the underground water resources here."

"Okay." Jiang Li responded as he listened to the report in the quantum communicator.

"Reporting to Engineer Jiang, this is the responsible team of Area C3. We have arrived at the designated canyon and started the groundwater resource exploration."

"clear."

"Reporting to Engineer Jiang, this is the E8 responsible team. We have arrived at the E8 basin and started to carry out groundwater resource exploration."

"receive."

"Report to Engineer Jiang!"

With one report after another.

All teams have arrived at their respective areas of responsibility and have begun groundwater resource exploration projects.

And at this moment.

The Red Falcon transport plane No. 01 passed through the monotonous dark red earth scene.

Instantly "whoosh".

The color of the area below suddenly changed!

The previous dark red color instantly turned into light white and blue.

It is clear.

At this time, the Red Falcon Unit 01 also arrived over the South Pole of Mars!
At this moment, everyone looked through the observation window inside the Red Falcon transport plane and saw the pure white Antarctic ice cap below.

Such a close viewing.

Everyone could see at a glance that it was at the South Pole of Mars.

Possessing abundant reserves of "ice"!
Just for now.

It has not yet landed in Antarctica, so it is impossible to determine the composition of this "ice".

"Xiao Lu, get ready to land!"

Jiang Li said quickly.

"Yes!"

Lu Pengfei immediately grabbed the flight stick on the console and switched to manual mode.

Then under the detection of the scanner.

A smooth and flat area was selected.

Then, he began to slowly control the Red Falcon 01 transport plane, and it landed steadily from a height of hundreds of meters.

"Boom boom boom..."

With the roar of the engine, the Red Falcon 01 landed steadily in a relatively flat area in the Antarctic ice cap of Mars.

At this time, Jiang Li had led everyone to the hatch of the Red Falcon transport cabin.

"Activate the nano-mech."

With the order given.

The "Titan Watch Nuclear Nano-Mecha" on everyone's body suddenly covered their entire body.

The outside environment is so harsh without the protection of a mecha.

Even though Jiang Li and the others had undergone two rounds of strengthening, they were still unable to withstand the outside environment.

"The hatch is open."

Jiang Li gave the order, followed by a "tsk——" sound.

The Red Falcon hatch in front of him slowly opened.

Just the moment the door was opened, a bone-chilling cold air instantly invaded from outside.

Even, at the edge of the hatch.

A layer of cold crystals was formed.

Jiang Li exhaled and said slowly: "Mission, execute!"
