Great Power Technology: Starting from the Nantianmen Project

Chapter 179 The first fresh water on Mars! Jiang Li: When did I say we would use machines to mine it?

After Jiang Li announced the order to start the mission.

Zhang Ke and others quickly followed Jiang Li and came out of the cabin door.

What greeted us was the bone-chilling low temperature.

[Titan Mecha system prompts: Current ambient temperature is "-117" degrees]

The South Pole of Mars, even at noon on a Martian day.

The temperature here is still only around minus 117 degrees.

“It’s really cold here!”

Lu Tian also followed everyone and came to the Antarctic ice cap of Mars.

Standing here, even with the Titan nano-mech protecting my body.

But it seems that the cold temperature here can still be felt.

"Look what you said."

"This is the South Pole of Mars. Do you think it's cold?"

Jiang Li tilted his head, glanced at Lu Tian, ​​and said quickly:

"Okay, take out the detection equipment."

"We are ready to start exploring underground."

"Yes! Brother Jiang!" Lu Tian nodded immediately.

Then he switched the nano-live broadcast insects on his body to follow-up shooting mode.

Immediately, a black box was taken out of the cabin.

At the same time, members of the scientific research team followed along.

They also carried black boxes and walked out of the cabin.

These people raised their left hands.

After a burst of virtual particle imaging appeared.

An underground wave detector was formed in the palm of their left hand.

Then he began to explore the surrounding terrain.

Soon, these people found several suitable points for exploration.

And Lu Tian also came to Jiang Li's side.

"right here."

Jiang Li pointed to the ground below him.

Looking at the ice layer under his feet, Jiang Li quickly said to Lu Tian:

"Load the detection equipment here."

"Yes, Brother Jiang!" Lu Tian didn't waste any words.

He quickly opened the black suitcase in his hand.

Then, a cylindrical device in the black suitcase appeared in front of everyone.

"what is this?"

Elder Ye and Elder Pang, who were standing by, immediately came over curiously and looked at the black conical cylindrical device.

"An improved earth vein detector."

"The underground waves can be used to directly detect areas at least 200 kilometers deep underground."

“Then, through the feedback of underground waves, analysis is carried out.”

"Finally confirm what substances are underground here."

Jiang Li explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Elder Ye and Elder Pang could only marvel at the thought.

Then, he stood quietly aside and watched Lu Tian busy himself.

At this time, Lu Tian took out the black cylindrical detector.

After arriving at the position designated by Jiang Li, he raised his hands.

He slammed the black pointed cone in his hand into the ground!

Not long after.

This black detector was firmly embedded in the current ice layer.

Lu Tian did not waste any time and operated twice on the top of the cylinder.

The next second, there was a detection wave that was imperceptible to the naked eye.

Then it began to spread deep underground!

"Om-"

"Om-"

"Om-"

At the same time, not only Lu Tian's detectors completed their deployment.

The other team members nearby also completed the deployment of the geomagnetic detectors in their respective areas.

Not only that.

Here are forty-five areas on Mars where groundwater resources are likely to exist.

All the Red Falcon teams are exactly the same.

Complete the deployment of the black detector.

Followed by.

The exploration work has officially begun!

At this moment, above the Antarctic ice sheet.

Everyone began to wait patiently.

Especially Mr. Li Wenyuan and Mr. He Yan.

The two of them have the most urgent hope, which is to be able to truly detect water resources in the form of "water" on Mars!
This is of vital importance to the future development of Mars!
[Ding! The Mars geomagnetic detector has been activated...]

[Ding! Starting to detect the current 100-meter underground area...]

[Ding! Starting to detect the current 500-meter underground area...]

[Ding! Starting to detect the current 1000-meter underground area...]

[Ding! Detection begins...]

【drop!……】

As probes in various areas of Mars began working.

The data of forty-five Martian groundwater resources began to be continuously recorded by various groups.

Five minutes later.

"Report to Jiang Gong!"

"This is Team C8."

"We have discovered a large amount of water resources at a depth of 1.8 kilometers underground!"

As the first reports appeared.

Gradually, various reports began to be fed back to Jiang Li.

"Report to Jiang Gong!"

"This is Team E2."

"We found water resources at a depth of 4.5 kilometers underground!"

"From visual observation, the water reserves are very abundant!"

"..."

"Report to Jiang Gong!"

"This is Team B8. We have already explored 150 kilometers underground."

“No signs of water were found.”

"..."

"Report to Jiang Gong!"

"..."

As more and more data reports continued to gather on Jiang Li's side.

In front of Jiang Li, there was a three-dimensional image of Mars formed by virtual imaging particles.

Forty-five marking points.

Twenty-three of the markers are marked in a brighter blue.

Fifteen of the marking points are red.

The marking points under the body are gray.

Blue means water resources have been detected.

Red means no water resources are detected.

The gray mark means that it is still under detection.

No data has been detected yet.

Over time.

With the full efforts of forty-five Mars water exploration teams.

All the data is also summarized here by Jiang Li.

At the same time, the South Pole of Mars.

"Report to Engineer Jiang! All the underground data in Antarctica has been analyzed."

"Above the Martian South Pole ice cap, according to detection."

"There is a layer of carbon dioxide dry ice about 20 meters thick, covering the entire South Pole of Mars."

"These carbon dioxide dry ices form a very good ice cap on the South Pole of Mars, which can also be said to be a protective layer."

"And the depth is another one hundred meters below."

"We have detected a super huge abyss!"

"According to the data sent back by our detectors."

"The depth of this abyss is more than 50 kilometers!"

"And there are extremely terrifying water resources stored here!"

"Oh my god! Jiang Gong!"

"According to the 3D underground map, there is a lot of water resources underground in the South Pole of Mars!"

“There are too many!!”

At this time, the team leader in charge of the exploration of the South Pole of Mars suddenly ran to Jiang Li excitedly.

Then he showed Jiang Li the results of the detection they had just completed.

And after he finished speaking.

Zhang Ke also came over immediately, holding the same data information and said, "That's right."

"Jiang Gong!"

"There are large amounts of liquid water underground at the South Pole of Mars."

"and."

"Currently, even our detectors cannot detect how much water there is underground."

"More importantly."

"Because the South Pole of Mars is cold all year round, the temperature never rises above zero."

"Plus the 20-meter-thick carbon dioxide dry ice."

“It forms a natural underground storage room.”

"It can be said."

"The water resources underground on Mars have been sealed for at least hundreds of millions of years!"

After Zhang Ke finished speaking.

The two old professors Li Wenyuan and He Yan standing by were so excited that their whole bodies began to tremble!

"Yeah!"

"I knew there was water on Mars!"

“But I didn’t expect that.”

"There are so many water resources stored underground on Mars!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

This discovery made the two old men, Li Wenyuan and He Yan, extremely excited!
Because from now on, they no longer have to say "there is a high probability that there is water resources on Mars" as before.

Instead, it can be changed to "It has been confirmed that there are large amounts of water resources on Mars"!

At the same time, Jiang Li was also looking at the Antarctic groundwater resource distribution map in front of him.

From the distribution chart above.

It can be clearly seen that within about 75% of the underground area of ​​the entire South Pole of Mars.

It’s all water resources.

This terrifying water reserve has reached an extremely terrifying number!

If we want to develop all the underground water resources in Antarctica.

Is that enough to supply the entire Mars?

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the super deep waters under Antarctica, he said:
"Don't get so excited just yet."

"It is certain that Mars has water resources."

"but."

"We need to make sure that some of these water resources are available for our use."

When everyone heard this, they immediately came back to their senses from their surprise.

Immediately, everyone nodded seriously.

"Yes! Jiang Gong!"

"We will start underground drilling immediately!"

Then, the team members immediately took out the miniature nano-drilling tools.

Start taking water from underground.

At the same time, all other teams also sent the data back to Jiang Li.

All I see is a simulation of Mars.

Forty-five points of light.

Now, there are twenty-eight red spots.

There are twenty-seven blue light spots.

It is clear.

Of the forty-five areas most likely to have water resources, twenty-eight have been confirmed to have no water resources.

The remaining twenty-seven blue spots represent the discovery of water resources.

The 27 team members immediately began drilling for groundwater resources.

The members of the twenty-eight teams immediately went to the nearest team to provide support.

Time flies and begins to flow slowly.

All the viewers on Earth in the live broadcast room were looking at the live broadcast screen excitedly.

"Mars is not as simple as it looks!"

“There are so many underground water resources!”

"If that's the case, Mars is also full of life!"

"It's a bit too early to say it's vibrant."

"After all, there is no sign of life on Mars. We can all see that, right?"

"That's true..."

"If there has been life on Mars for a long time, I think our Jiang Shen and his people would have discovered it when they arrived on Mars first, right?" "Besides, haven't our Jiang Shen and his people already launched many satellites on Mars?"

"really…"

The online audience in the live broadcast room certainly had good intentions.

However, the reality is so cruel.

Or the cosmic environment.

At least so far, humans have never discovered any signs of life on a second planet in all these years of exploring the universe.

At the very least, there has never been any carbon-based life like humans.

As for other life forms, that is unknown.

As time passed, another half day passed.

Mars' south polar ice cap.

As the data from each team is constantly transmitted back here.

Zhang Ke also quickly integrated all the reporting data.

Then he came to Jiang Li and reported:
"Jiang Gong!"

"The groundwater resource data of 27 points have been fully detected."

"Currently, the South and North poles of Mars."

"There are a lot of water resources underground in these two areas."

"Among them, most of the groundwater resources in the Arctic are dry ice and mixed water resources."

"There are many turbid things, which cannot be used by us."

"The groundwater resources in Antarctica are carbon dioxide plus hydrogen and oxygen water, as well as some debris."

“It cannot be supplied to us directly, but it can be filtered to a certain extent.”

"In other areas, including A3, A9, C9, B2, ..."

"The underground in these areas, like Antarctica, is full of dry ice and liquid water mixed with hydrogen and oxygen."

“And the remaining six are groundwater resources.”

“Although the value accounts for 30 percent.”

"but."

"The water resources in these areas are all fresh water!"

"Moreover, according to the analysis of water resources, the fresh water stored in these six groundwater resources is high-quality fresh water."

“You can even drink it directly without any problems!”

I heard Zhang Ke finish his report.

Li Wenyuan and He Yan could no longer sit still.

I was so excited that I almost jumped up.

"Yeah!"

"Six fresh water sources! And it's high-quality fresh water!"

"it is good!!!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Li Wenyuan and He Yan were extremely excited!
Because fresh water represents the source of life!

With fresh water, life can be guaranteed to survive!

What if there is really no fresh water resources on Mars, then we will have to rely solely on filtration.

That will consume a lot of resources.

This will be a huge obstacle to the future development of Mars.

It can’t even be developed!
After all, they can't forcibly develop on a planet that doesn't have any fresh water resources, right?

“Good quality fresh water?”

After listening to the report, Jiang Li couldn't help but smacking his lips.

If fresh water was discovered on Mars, Jiang Li would not be so surprised.

Instead, it was after I heard the word “high-quality fresh water”.

He was somewhat surprised.

After all, high-quality fresh water is rare on Earth.

Unexpectedly, on such a dead and silent planet, we could actually detect the existence of high-quality fresh water.

"Yes! Jiang Gong!"

"I have already asked again."

“The groundwater resources in these six areas have been reconfirmed.”

“It’s all high-quality fresh water!”

"All mineral elements within the water resources have been detected."

"It is a very suitable water resource for us humans to drink directly!"

Zhang Ke also said excitedly.

This discovery was even more explosive than their discovery of water resources on Mars!

Discovering water resources may not be uncommon, but being able to directly discover so many high-quality freshwater resources is extremely lucky!

"Is it close to us?"

“Discover a stronghold of high-quality fresh water.”

Jiang Li asked.

"Very close."

“It’s only about 1000 kilometers away from us.”

Zhang Ke said quickly, "Besides, the team over there has already transported high-quality fresh water here."

Jiang Li couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

Then, he looked at the camera of the Martian Nanoworm Live Broadcast Room.

At this moment, the online audience on Earth heard that there is high-quality fresh water on Mars.

Suddenly everyone lost their composure!
"Mars is so mysterious! There is even fresh water!"

"And it's high-quality fresh water, oh my goodness!"

"Good guy!"

"Can we really drink the water on Mars?"

"What you said, do you know more than our top scientific researchers?"

"Our researchers have already tested it and found that it is pure, natural, high-quality fresh water that can be drunk directly."

"You still say I can't drink?"

"that is!"

"It would be a blessing if someone could drink the first mouthful of high-quality fresh water on Mars!"

At this moment, netizens' barrage of comments also began to scroll wildly.

At this time, Jiang Li was looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room.

Suddenly the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Then he said loudly:

"You don't have to worry about the water resources on Mars."

"Wait till the water arrives."

"I'll give it a try for everyone."

"This is the first high-quality fresh water on Mars!"

After Jiang Li finished saying this.

The barrage in the Mars live broadcast room went crazy again.

“The first fresh water on Mars?”

"Good good!"

"You don't really want to drink it?"

And not for a long time.

As a Red Falcon transport plane flew over steadily from a distance.

More than a dozen team members quickly walked out of the cabin with instruments.

Then he came in front of Jiang Li.

"Jiang Gong!"

"This bottle contains the underground fresh water resources of Area D7."

“It has passed our tests.”

“This water is full of minerals that our bodies need.”

"Moreover, the content ratio is just right."

“After comparison, it’s no different than the water resources we bring from Earth!”

The team leader also reported happily.

At the same time, he handed the bottle of fresh water in his hand to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li also checked it again with the equipment in front of the audience in the live broadcast room.

Looking at the data of high-quality fresh water.

Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh: "I can only say that even on this desolate Mars, there are all kinds of wonders."

Li Wenyuan and He Yan, who were standing by, also came over.

Li Wenyuan looked at the fresh water, took a deep breath and said:

"Actually, think about it carefully."

"It's not that rare."

"In our universe, water resources may be scarce."

“But it’s not impossible.”

“And the distribution is relatively even.”

"Don't think that what exists on our Earth will not exist on other planets."

"Besides, the geographical factors between Mars and Earth are actually not much different compared to the environment in the universe."

"In this universe, there are even planets that are completely frozen."

"So, it is not impossible that this water resource appears on other planets."

"For example, there are a lot of water resources on Europa."

"Although this fresh water resource is scarce, it is not unique to our Earth."

"Although the discovery of fresh water resources underground on Mars was unexpected, it is reasonable given the cosmic environment."

After Li Wenyuan's analysis.

Netizens can only marvel at the wonder of the universe once again!

But if you think about it carefully, it does make sense.

Water resources are actually not a scarce resource among many celestial bodies in the universe.

Only "life" is the most scarce existence!

After everyone returned to the cabin.

After Jiang Li took off his nano-mecha, he gently shook the bottle of fresh water in his hand.

Then he unscrewed the bottle cap in front of everyone.

I took a sip of the fresh water that had been sealed on Mars for hundreds of millions of years.

A "gurgle" sound.

Everyone around him looked at Jiang Li nervously.

Although tested by their instruments, this water resource is no different from the earth's fresh water resources.

But after all, I am still a little worried.

After Jiang Li drank this sip, he smacked his lips and continued:

"Don't say anything."

"a bit sweet."

Everyone: "..."

After seeing Jiang Li like this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Taste it."

Jiang Li pointed to the dozen or so bottles of fresh water left in the box.

Lu Tian was the first to walk over and unscrewed a bottle.

He gulped down two mouthfuls.

"It's really a bit sweet!" Lu Tian grinned after drinking it.

Netizens in the live broadcast room saw this scene.

I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It’s Jiang Shen and the others who are harmed!

Artists are so bold!

The water has been sealed for hundreds of millions of years, and now it’s time to put it to use!
Ten minutes later.

Jiang Li has also marked all the water resource bases.

"These six underground freshwater resource points will be used to build water resource transportation bases underground when the time comes."

"And the remaining twenty-one water resource strongholds."

“We need to get the water out of it.”

“The first target.”

"It's right under our feet!"

After he finished speaking, the people around him nodded.

At this time, Li Wenyuan and He Yan swallowed their saliva and said:

“Exploiting groundwater resources is certainly important.”

"However, the groundwater resources are very huge after all."

"Based on our current mining situation, I guess the workload will be huge, right?"

Seeing this, Jiang Li grinned and said, "Of course I'm anxious."

"There are twenty-one areas in total."

"If we follow our normal underground mining method."

"It will take decades to mine it all."

"Where do we have so much time?"

After Jiang Li finished speaking, everyone fell silent again.

"But if we don't mine, we don't have any other choice..." Li Wenyuan and others looked at each other, all at a loss.

Jiang Li was somewhat stunned: "You said we would use machines to mine, but I didn't say that."

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.

"How do we get water without machines?" Li Wenyuan and others asked curiously.

Seeing this, Jiang Li grinned, revealing his white teeth:

"Use nuclear weapons!!"

Use nuclear weapons? ! ! ! !

Li Wenyuan, He Yan, as well as Elder Xu, Elder Ye, and Elder Pang and others beside them all looked at Jiang Li in astonishment.

after a long time...

"ah??!!!!"
