Among the many planets in the solar system, Mars is the most similar to Earth, especially the rotation angle, which is extremely small.

But this similarity is only compared to other planets, in fact, there is a huge difference between Mars and Earth.

The first thing to be blasted is the body shape. The equatorial radius of Mars is 3,396 kilometers, which is only half of the earth, and its volume is about one-sixth of the earth, and its mass is only one-tenth of the earth. The orbital period of Mars is 687 days, which is almost twice that of the earth. In other words, one Mars year is equivalent to two Earth years.

As for the atmosphere that is crucial to surface life, Mars' atmospheric density is only one percent that of the Earth, so the atmospheric pressure on the surface of Mars is less than one percent of that of the Earth.

The thin atmosphere cannot store heat and the insulation effect is extremely poor, which makes the temperature difference on Mars extremely large, with the difference between the highest temperature and the lowest temperature energy of 160 to 70 degrees.

During the day, even in the equatorial area, the maximum temperature on the surface is only 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, and the temperature in other places is even lower. At night, the temperature will drop rapidly to minus dozens of degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature on the poles can reach minus one hundred and twenty to 30 degrees Celsius.

The thin atmosphere cannot filter out various rays from the universe layer by layer like the Earth's atmosphere, causing the Mars surface to be subjected to high-intensity cosmic rays and solar radiation all year round. Coupled with the extreme day-night temperature difference, it further aggravates the weathering of rocks, leaving exposed rocks and gravel everywhere on the Mars surface, forming a unique Gobi Desert style.

The light is insufficient and the temperature is too low, which is simply not enough to maintain human daily life and production needs. Therefore, TPC built an artificial sun to provide light and heat to planets that cannot be reached by the sun.

"This is the artificial sun," Asuka stood by the round ship window, looking at the dumbbell-shaped artificial celestial body floating in the universe outside, with her eyes wide open and screaming.

"Artificial solar experimental machine NSP - Companella!"

Dagu was also shocked when he recited its name.

This is an extremely huge celestial body, with a length of more than three kilometers alone. At both ends are two spheres, one large and one small, and in the middle are dozens of huge pipes and a spindle.

The large sphere is the main body of the artificial sun, which can simulate stars and release strong light and high heat. The small end is a power furnace, which can continuously deliver massive amounts of energy to the artificial sun.

No matter how many times you look at such a giant, you will be shocked and deeply feel the advanced and greatness of human science and technology.

"Such a thing was actually created."

Makoto Chiba is also watching this epoch-making product.

The artificial sun will definitely be recorded in the history of human beings, because its appearance means that the range of human activities is no longer limited by the sun's light.

Human beings were born on Earth 150 million kilometers away from the sun, which means that human beings were limited to the surface of '150 million kilometers'.

But with artificial sun, a '150 million kilometers' light environment can be simulated at any location, greatly expanding the livable environment of human beings.

Of course, creating a light environment suitable for humans at any location is the future goal. Now, the task of this artificial sun is to serve the next stage of the comprehensive transformation of Mars' ecological environment.

In fact, it revolves around Mars, increasing the light and temperature of Mars, thereby creating a light environment that is almost the same as the Earth. After all, Mars is far away from the Sun, which is 1.5 times that of the Earth, which makes the sunlight received by Mars only 43% of the Earth, making the surface of Mars particularly darker than that of the Earth.

All things grow by the sun. Not only does the photosynthesis of plants require light, but the animals do not have enough light, and various problems will occur in the body.

Therefore, if you want to emigrate on Mars on a large scale and allow people to live, live and even reproduce normally, the light of Mars must reach the level of the earth.

When the sun cannot transmit enough light, it is necessary to manually fill up the light, so that the artificial sun plan is planned and put into action.

Now the first phase of the transformation of Mars' atmosphere has been completed. The total oxygen content of Mars' atmosphere has increased from the original 0.13% to the current one. In just a few years, the average oxygen content of Mars' atmosphere has increased tenfold.

The surface oxygen content on Mars barely meets the growth needs of some plants. Therefore, after the artificial sun is in place, the Mars branch of the TPC Institute of Biology will start to plant plants suitable for the current Martian environment outdoors on a large scale. In addition, the Martian atmospheric transformation system will form the second phase of Mars' atmospheric transformation project, with the goal of humans being able to breathe normally outdoors without wearing respiratory assistance equipment.

Atmospheric transformation is a systematic project and a comprehensive project. Improving the atmosphere is not a purpose, but a means, in order to create an environment suitable for human habitation and life.

Humans not only need to be able to breathe, but also need to eat and drink water.

Plants are the basis of all food chains and food webs. Without plants, food webs, it is a castle in the air, and there is no way to talk about it.

Plants can also store water, consolidate soil, improve soil quality, and turn the bad soil on Mars into fertile soil as soon as possible to meet the needs of growing food crops, thereby achieving the goal of self-sufficiency.

The third point, and one thing that few people care about and understand is carbon sequestration. The photosynthesis of plants is actually the process of carbon sequestration.

It absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and releases oxygen, and carbon becomes part of the plant in the process.

The beginning of human civilization was considered to learn to use fire, and flame is the product of carbon combustion. Whether it is firewood, coal, oil, or natural gas, it is a process in which C+O2 turns into carbon dioxide and releases energy.

In addition to providing energy for the development of human civilization, plants also provide humans with the energy needed for biological activities.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Earth organisms are called carbon-based living organisms, rice, steamed buns and other staple foods are called carbohydrates, and they are all inseparable from "carbon", which is enough to illustrate the importance of "carbon" to Earth organisms.

It is no exaggeration to say that without "carbon", everything will perish.

The photosynthesis of plants is to first fix the energy of "light", which cannot be directly used by carbon-based organisms, in the form of "carbon", and then be used by carbon-based organisms.

Therefore, the long mountains and fields, which seem to be ordinary, are actually natural biological versions of "solar generators", and the energy conversion efficiency is much higher than that of the most advanced solar panels in humanity.

It is precisely because of the efforts of plants over the past billions of years that the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration on the earth has been reduced to 3/10,000, and has left humans with billions of tons of coal for humans to survive the early development of civilization.

The carbon dioxide content of Mars is as high as 95%, and even after years of "dilution" of atmospheric modification systems, it still exceeds 65%.

With such a high carbon dioxide content, once the atmospheric thickness continues to increase, the greenhouse effect will also increase day by day, causing the temperature on Mars to rise unhealthily.

Just like Venus, because 97% of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide, it creates a strong greenhouse effect. The equatorial area can reach a height of 4670 degrees during the day. If Mars is as close to the sun as Venus, the temperature during the day can reach such a high day.

The best solution is not to continue to release other gases manually, but to plant plants on a large scale, allowing natural atmospheric transformation machines, energy manufacturing machines, food providers - plants to participate, and gradually transform the Martian atmosphere with artificial intelligence, and eventually become the main force, so as to achieve the appropriate level of Mars' atmosphere and soil. By then, Mars will truly become the second home for human beings, for billions of people to survive and reproduce.

"The Mars transformation will officially kick off today."

The stationmaster of Mars' Neomars Space Station stood aside and looked at the artificial sun that was adjusting its orbit in the distance. He said with emotion: "When the artificial sun is lit, the temperature of Mars will gradually rise. By then, the glaciers melt into water to nourish the land of Mars. With enough light and sufficient water, plants can grow and improve the atmosphere and soil of Mars little by little.

This will allow plants with higher photosynthesis efficiency but weaker plants on the improved land, while plants that tolerate drought and harsh climates will be controlled peripherally.

In this way, the planting area was expanded bit by bit and the planting species was gradually increased, and the atmosphere and soil of Mars continued to improve.

I believe that one day, Mars will be like the Earth, with flowers, plants and trees all over the mountains, gullies becoming rivers, craters turning into lakes, and blue sky, sea, birds and beasts and insects ringing!"

As the stationmaster Yamazaki spoke, his face full of hope, as if he had seen the ideal Mars - beautiful and full of hope!

Not only him, but also many people who endure the harsh environment of Mars, and work hard despite the physical discomfort caused by Mars' low gravity, are full of passion and work hard for years to achieve the ideal of a second home for mankind.

Because of the cooling of the core of Mars, the Martian magnetic field disappears. In addition, the mass of Mars is only one-nineth of the earth, so Mars' gravity is only 38% of that of the earth. Long-term living in such a low-gravity environment will cause muscle atrophy and bone loss in the human body, which will have a very adverse impact on health.

However, Mars construction personnel must wear oxygen masks when entering and leaving the sky even when sand and dust are everywhere. The physical discomfort caused by low gravity has persisted to this day and transformed Mars into a level that can barely make people live now.

Yugong moved mountains and passed down from generation to generation!

The most fundamental reason why humans without sharp teeth and strong bodies can stand on the top of the earth and move to the universe is just like the Mars ecological environment transformation project, working hard to live a short life and leave the results to future generations to inherit. If you continue to work hard from generation to generation, even the worst environment will gradually improve.

"Yes, Mars' tomorrow must be better."

Qianye Cheng nodded and agreed that as long as humans have this perseverance and such perseverance, Mars will only be better.

Although there are also dirty and intrigues and killing each other among humans, humans have more highlights, especially ordinary people with a large number of people. Many of them are doing extraordinary things in ordinary positions.

The evil and despicable nature of some human beings does not mean that all human beings are like this.

It is precisely because of this that Chiba Makoto is still on Earth today, working hard to do something.

Just like this time, the reason why we came to Mars from billions of miles is to ensure the safe deployment of artificial suns and prevent accidents.

But he still remembers that the artificial sun was attacked by cosmic living beings and plans to control the artificial sun to land on the South Pole of the Earth, melting glaciers in the Antarctic, resulting in the rise of sea levels and flooding a large amount of land.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening, Chiba Makoto came here specially and sat in the Neomars Space Station to monitor the entry of artificial suns throughout the process. If anything happens, he can react immediately.

In this regard, the Mars branch naturally agreed with both hands. The artificial sun has the word "sun". It is a nuclear fusion inside to shine and heat. To put it bluntly, it is a super-large hydrogen bomb. Once it falls, the consequences are really unimaginable.

Just because I was worried that if there was any problem, I even dispatched the Neomars Space Station equipped with a variety of weapons to fly together in case of an accident. Now that Ultraman is in charge, it will be even more foolproof.

"But isn't Mars without water?"

As the bird listened to their conversation, he turned his head and asked in confusion. He remembered that in the Martian knowledge he had learned, it said that there were dry riverbeds and lake sites on the surface of Mars, and that liquid water had existed in the long-standing past.

Why do we say now that artificial solar energy melts glaciers?

Where does glacier come from on Mars?

Yamazaki Stationmaster explained with a smile: "There is no water on the surface of Mars, but the asteroids contain it, and Saturn's rings are also composed of a large amount of ice. You only need to look at the angle and push these ice hockeys over and fall into the uninhabited area of ​​Mars. It is the source of water. Moreover, there is water underground on Mars, but it is mostly in the form of ice.

As long as the temperature rises, the ice on the ground and the river on the ground melts, and the underground rivers and the above ground flow, Mars will be alive."

"Oh, so that's it."

Feiniao nodded suddenly and understood the idea of ​​Mars ecological transformation.

To put it bluntly, it means following nature as the main and artificial as the supplement.

Although there is ice underground on Mars, it will not move as long as it can, so that it can become groundwater and flow. After all, groundwater is also an extremely important link in the water circulation. Once it is missing, no matter how much water on the ground can not be stored, it will still penetrate into the ground.

Therefore, TPC would rather spend a big price to travel from the asteroid belt or even Saturn to ice, rather than easily move the underground ice of Mars, in order to keep it natural as much as possible.

Natural environment, natural environment!
