Chapter 218 Arrival on Mars
[What is the limit of Pioneer Technology? Robots came first and superluminal jump engines came later. What's next? - Penguin News. ]
Now, the news media of the whole world seemed to be released by the floodgates. A huge stream of water rushed out. Pioneer Technology gave countless news media around the world a topic of conversation at this moment. From the analysis of Pioneer Technology at the beginning of its development, to the later position of bombarding South Korea, to the endless technological breakthroughs, almost every topic attracted everyone to want to know what the inside story of this powerful giant is like.
At this time, with the continuous emergence of news, the spacecraft at this time has also flown from the cities of various countries to the outer atmosphere of the earth. It is also the first time that the entire human race has led its army to leave the earth and come to the universe.
At this moment, under the live broadcast by Lisa, the sky-high space aircraft carrier fleet appeared in the eyes of everyone through the forwarding of mobile phones. Everyone was extremely shocked to watch the epic feat in front of them.
"Everyone, what you are seeing now is the first space fleet formed by the entire Earth Federation. The main mission of these fleets this time is to carry out space colonization and establish multiple planetary colonization bases and transit stations."
"And in these fleets, this time we also carry 50,000 ordinary people from various countries as the first batch of immigrants after arriving on the planet."
"Speaking of this, some people may ask, there is no protection of the atmosphere on these planets, the harsh environment and cold temperature are enough to kill any human directly exposed to space within half a minute, so how can they live in these bases?"
"Are you going to live on an aircraft carrier for your whole life?!"
"Of course not, this time, we brought portable modular shelters to build , it can be formed on-site by robots, and then a large survival base - the dome is built. In this shelter, there are not only oxygen generators and solar cells, but also green plants, houses and various medical and leisure facilities to ensure that even if there are any accidents, the people in the survival base can live self-sufficiently. "
"Even in the end, if more cities are built, then one day when the cities cover the entire surface of the planet, we can also transform it into the appearance of the earth."
Although Lisa was also shocked by the shock brought by the endless fleet in front of her, as a vice president, she still did not forget her mission. After coming to her senses, she directly explained to everyone.
After hearing Lisa's words, everyone present was shocked.
When it came to this, Dabai also released a simulated picture of the base, and after seeing this scene, it can be said that everyone on the earth could not help but yearn for it.
After all, a dome base in outer space like this can be regarded as a small or medium-sized city. Although it does not look big on the projection, Dabai compared and marked it out later.
Everyone also found that this thing is even larger than some county towns. A base can have an area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and it can still be expanded.
It can be said that as long as they want, it can be a second earth.
"Next, one of our destinations is Mars."
As Lisa's voice fell, the entire fleet at this moment also began to count down to the end of '3-2-1'. Then, everyone who watched the live broadcast only felt a wormhole-like space flashing in front of their eyes, and then the next second the entire spacecraft entered it. At this time, everyone only felt that there were all kinds of eyes in front of them. In the blink of an eye, the light was bright again.
After the normal picture was restored, everyone only saw that a huge red planet that looked like magma appeared in front of everyone.
At this moment, even the staff in the space carrier couldn't help but stop and look at the beautiful and shocking scene in front of them.
After all, even though they had learned about the space environment and some documentaries through some audio-visual materials before, it was the first time for them to see it in person.
"Don't tell me this is Mars?!"
"Oh my god, this speed is too fast! Not even 3 seconds!!"
"I just went to the toilet, what's the situation now?! Is this a sticker change?"
"I can't believe it, I can't believe it, this is simply impossible!!"
...
At this moment, after this short space leap, the first ones who couldn't accept it were the netizens who watched the live broadcast. After all, it was just a blink of an eye, and some people even hadn't finished shivering before it was over. For them, there was too much unbelievable.
"Okay, everyone, whether you believe it or not, what you see is real."
"We can't lie and we won't lie. After all, it doesn't make any sense to us."
"Now let me introduce the planet in front of you. Mars is the fourth planet closest to the sun and the second smallest planet in the solar system after Mercury. It is one of the four terrestrial planets in the solar system."
"Its volume is half that of the Earth, and it has many similarities with the Earth, such as it also has an atmosphere, it also has five climate zones, and even it has four seasons like the Earth. A day on Mars is 24 hours and 37 minutes, which is almost the same as the Earth."
"And Mars once had lakes, oceans, green mountains, and green waters. Billions of years ago, it may have even nurtured life. Now there is about 20% water in the soil on the surface of Mars, which can provide valuable resources for our immigrants."
"Especially the last point, which can be said to be the top priority. According to the evidence we observed in advance, there is a phenomenon similar to groundwater gushing on the surface of Mars, and the Antarctic ice cap has partially retreated. Radar data shows that there is a large amount of water ice under the surface of the poles and mid-latitudes."
"And our Mars survival base will also be chosen at the poles of Mars."
After seeing that the entire fleet group was facing Mars, the first stop of this trip, Lisa also took the initiative to stand up, while adjusting the distance of the live broadcast equipment in her hand, broadcasting to the audience from the best perspective, while explaining.
Then, with Lisa's continuous explanation, in the entire fleet, there were more than ten other space carriers, led by Lisa's space carrier, that began to break away from the formation and fly towards the surface of Mars.
At this time, as the spacecraft continued to approach the planet, everyone also felt the climate conditions on Mars more intuitively.
At first, after entering the atmosphere, what came to the face was a layer of air layer like volcanic ash. Then, after the entire spacecraft passed through this layer of air, the scenery that came into view was like a desert.
A piece of brown land came into everyone's eyes.
Looking down from a high place, the entire canyon was outlined like a painting.
But there was no excessive stay. After a short passage through the canyon below, the entire spacecraft rushed straight towards the poles of Mars.
After all, their goal was to establish a survival base next to the water ice areas at the poles, which would also facilitate the emergency rescue resources on Mars. Secondly, even if there was any temporary situation that caused the water resources to be unavailable, they could be mined in time.
Then, as the entire spacecraft flew forward for a while, a huge basin appeared, and then a large basin filled with salt appeared in front of everyone.
After seeing this scene, the colonists on the spacecraft couldn't help but show excitement, because this also meant that they had reached their destination in just a few minutes.
"What you are seeing now is the Korolev crater, which contains 2 kilometers of water ice, and this is where we will build a city."
After seeing this scene in front of her, Lisa also suppressed her excitement and explained to everyone.
Then, as dozens of space carriers arrived at the designated location, they began to slowly fall.
'Boom! ! '
Until the end, everyone on the entire ship suddenly felt a huge vibration, as if they were on the ground again. This time, many people didn't even need to look outside to know that they had reached the ground of Mars.
But at this moment, everyone stayed where they were and didn't move around. After all, they knew that the last step had not been completed.
Then, the hatches of more than ten space carriers slowly opened, and piles of robots rushed out like ants, with various building materials on their bodies.
It even made people think that this was a scene of ants moving.
"What you see now is a multifunctional construction robot produced exclusively by our Pioneer Technology. This robot can work on any complex ground, and its built-in intelligent processing chip can also allow it to make timely feedback and self-judgment on the installation of building materials."
"Each robot can lift several tons of objects for transportation. It can be said that their working time and efficiency only depend on their electricity."
After watching the busy scenes of these little guys, Lisa also gave the live camera to them, and then explained.
"Hiss! It's too scary. I seriously suspect that the reason why Pioneer Technology wants to colonize is that if it continues like this, the labor force on Earth will be completely replaced by robots. At that time, useless people like me who only have a little strength will just wait for death."
"Don't say you, I am the same as a chef. Now I can only rely on selling some street food. Fortunately, the purchase cost of robots is high and those bosses don't like them. Otherwise, I would be unemployed. So I should be glad that the current Pioneer Technology goal is not to continue on Earth, otherwise I would be afraid."
"I seriously suspect that our only role in the future is to live on various planets."
"That's good. You don't know that the first batch of colonists who are willing to go to other planets not only have food and accommodation and housing allocation, but also have high wages. It can be said that if they live there for five or six years and return to Earth, they will be multi-millionaires. And the most important thing is that they can go with their families. If they are alone, Pioneer Technology will also provide a robot girlfriend."
"Hiss!! I hate it so much! Why are there no external recruitments this time? Otherwise, even if there is no salary, I would still be willing to go!"
"Roll it up! Just roll it up as hard as you can! It was originally a good condition, but it was ruined by you scroll kings like this."
"One thing to say, these robots are really powerful. They can complete assembly line operations with a distance of less than a few dozen centimeters."
…
After seeing those robots constantly shuttled on the ground below like data, the humans on earth who were watching all this in the live broadcast room couldn't help but express their own comments with curious faces.
"Our plan is to build a total of 5 cities on Mars, which can initially accommodate 1 million people. In addition to human residential buildings, there are also food supply areas, leisure areas, and planting areas in this city. etc."
"Now everyone should be able to see that after the construction of the foundation is completed, the robots have already taken out the most important material for us on Mars this time - the dome, which is a modular model made of high-strength materials. Super-strength bulletproof glass.”
"Its hardness can withstand missiles without suffering any damage. It can be said that the only thing you worry about when you survive in this dome is whether you will get bored. There are no safety issues for you to worry about here."
"And we have also installed electronic modules on these bulletproof glass, which can automatically reduce and change external light according to computer data control in the city center to isolate the problem of direct sunlight caused by the low concentration of the Martian atmosphere."
At this time, after seeing that the prototype of the city's foundation had been built in less than ten minutes, Lisa immediately spoke.
"Eh?! By the way, why did those robots escape?! Are they broken?"
"Probably not. This robot is still carrying construction materials in its hands. It probably has other construction plans!"
"It doesn't feel right. Isn't it about building a survival base?! The foundation here has been laid, why did those things go over there?"
While Lisa was explaining, suddenly in the upper right corner of the live broadcast, a group of small black robots began to break away from the large team and run towards the distance. At this time, everyone in the live broadcast room could not help but speak.
After all, this is equivalent to playing a construction game. Just when you are arranging the character to build a house, he suddenly runs away with the equipment.
"Oh! That's what you said."
"Since everyone has asked, let me explain a little bit. Another building built not far away is a Mars factory. This factory built on the surface of Mars is used to produce halocarbons, and halocarbons are A very powerful greenhouse gas."
"As long as the factory is successfully established, the factory will produce a large amount of halocarbons directly on Mars and then release them into the atmosphere, and they will store a large amount of the sun's heat. Over time, the temperature on the surface of Mars will rise to the level of water. Above the freezing point, at this time, the water contained in the permafrost layer on the surface of Mars will begin to melt into liquid, and the liquid water will eventually flow into the dry riverbed of Mars."
"In this case, a large amount of water vapor will be produced on Mars, and the atmospheric pressure will also rise. This will cause the temperature of Mars to increase, forming a virtuous cycle until the temperature is habitable, and then we can stop production Halocarbons, start the next step of transformation.”
"This is also our first step in modifying Mars, temperature modification!"
"The subsequent transformation will be our city. As long as everything goes on the right track, when colonial cities belonging to us humans are established on Mars, the temperature of Mars will also reach a level suitable for human survival. ”
"At that time, the city's dome can be opened, and after plants and animals can reproduce themselves, a basic biosphere will be formed."
After seeing the questions asked by everyone in the live broadcast room, Lisa remembered it and then explained it to everyone calmly with a smile on her face.
After all, no matter how suitable Mars is for human survival, some external factors and the environment are necessary to transform it into the same environment as the earth so that humans can survive without any restrictions and constraints.
And the cost of something like this is not very high for Pioneer Technology. As long as everything is on track in the end, the robots on this planet can be self-sufficient in purchasing enough ore and then build more factories to maximize their production. It can be said that transforming the planet at such a fast speed does not require much effort at all.
"That's it! I don't know if I can go to Mars and truly live like Earth in my lifetime."
"Hiss! Live and learn!"
"Awesome, worthy of being the light of mankind. No matter where I go, the first thing I think of is the entire ethnic group. This is so responsible and responsible. I love it! I declare that from now on I will be a loyal fan of Pioneer Technology. "
"Tsk, tsk, starting from now?! Brother, you are out of touch. I started from the time when Pioneer Technology first released Baymax."
When they heard that Pioneer Technology had such a huge plan to transform Mars, humans on Earth paid their utmost respect to this company.
