Chapter 553 Life on Mars!

The zero spacecraft landed at the bottom of the Grand Canyon of the Mariner, and Won put on the special spacesuit for Mars and stepped out of the spacecraft.

Compared with the moon, although Mars is equally desolate, it is more like the earth, no matter in terms of the color of the land, the mountains towering in the distance, and the varied terrain.

Plains, mountains, canyons, and deep ravines can basically be found on Mars.

Moreover, Mars is protected by an atmosphere. Although it is quite thin, it prevents it from being eroded by solar wind and cosmic radiation. The earth retains its original appearance and avoids mixing a large amount of helium and other harmful substances in the soil.

This means that life may exist on Mars.

After getting off the spaceship, Han Yuan stepped on the yellow soil and looked around, only the boundless plains and the faintly visible mountains on the horizon.

Although he landed at the bottom of the Mariner Grand Canyon, this canyon is really too wide.

It is the largest canyon on Mars and the largest and longest canyon in the solar system.

It can reach an astonishing length of more than 4000 kilometers and a width of more than ten kilometers, which is dozens of times wider than the largest Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon on earth.

Even if you stand at the bottom of the canyon, you can’t directly see the cliffs on both sides of the canyon. You can only see the endless plains, giving people the illusion that you are not at the bottom of the canyon, but on the plains.

[Is this the bottom of the Mariner Grand Canyon?A place that humans have never been to, not even a detector. 】

[Didn't it say that there is a lot of water in the Sailor Grand Canyon?Why didn't you see it? 】

【Where there is water, there should be life. 】

[Sailor Canyon: The largest and longest canyon in the solar system, with a length of 4500 kilometers, almost as far from Mohe in Heilong Province to Honghe in Yunnan. 】

【Now, the old man doesn't hide it from everyone. This is the boundary where the old man fought with the demon king, and he cut it out with a single sword. 】

[Obviously it was shot out when I was driving a sniper ship to fight the Martians in 99. 】

[I have a mother, quack kills!Come the sword! 】

[According to the records of the Mayan civilization, this was caused by a war between the Nibiru civilization and the Martian civilization. An interstellar mothership thousands of kilometers long and hundreds of kilometers wide collided at high speed on the surface of Mars. 】

[As a result of the war, the Nibiru planet that was originally located between Mars and Jupiter was shattered, forming the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter today, while the surface of Mars was destroyed, all oceans, lakes and rivers evaporated, and most of the atmosphere was lost , some Martians were forced to live underground, some came to the earth, and some left the solar system to find habitable planets. 】

[So today's Earthlings are Martians? 】

[This story sounds like nonsense. 】

[No nonsense, according to the speculation of scientists, from the perspective of gravity, the solar system actually had nine planets in the very early days, but the ninth planet has not been found yet. 】

[Hasn't the solar system always had nine planets?What, you killed one? 】

[The eight planets are all right!Pluto has long been ruled out as a planet. 】

The mysterious veil at the bottom of the Mariner Grand Canyon was unraveled, and the whole picture was revealed in the eyes of all the audience in the live broadcast room. The desolate scene disappointed many people.

Not to mention life, even the water ice that has been talked about has not been seen.

Han Yuan didn't care about these things, but he was very interested in the story told by the barrage in the live broadcast room.

From the perspective of geological science, the Mariner Grand Canyon on Mars began to form on the frontier geological faults about 35 billion years ago.

Due to tectonic changes and the growing growth of the giant volcano Tahis in the west.

When molten magma poured into Mount Tashis from the earth's crust, the entire area began to uplift. At this time, the surrounding crustal rocks were continuously stretched until they broke and formed faults and cracks.

And when the cracks open, the ground sinks, just as the keystone falls when an arch moves.

At the same time, this fault also opened a channel for the flow of groundwater, which destroyed the surface and expanded the fracture area, and finally gradually formed the huge gully today.

But in the story about the war of civilization in the live broadcast room, there are indeed some things that meet scientific standards.

Such as the existence of the 'Nibiru planet' between Mars and Jupiter.

Judging from the current structure and gravitational relationship of the solar system, theoretically speaking, the solar system does have a planet.

And this planet is between Mars and Jupiter, and its size is not small.

According to calculations, the volume of this planet should be much larger than that of the earth. It interfered with the operation of other planets in the early days, which led to the weird gravitational balance of the solar system today.

Many astronomers and physicists believe that today's asteroid belt was actually formed after the disappearing planet disintegrated.

As for how it was formed specifically, and how many years ago it was formed, these are still completely unknown.

And after experiencing some things, Han Yuan also knows that there is not only one generation of civilization on the earth.

Whether those legendary things are true or false, civilization may indeed exist.

So he is still very interested in this story.

Of course, this is just a story for him before he gets definite evidence or discovery.

Compared with the moon, the gravity of Mars is much stronger.

Won deliberately walked around to feel it.

Walking on the ground still feels a little light, but it doesn't make you have to jump around when you move the position, and there is no big obstacle to walking on it normally.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that he is wearing a spacesuit. After all, the weight of the spacesuit has added a lot of pressure to him.

As for taking off the space suit, Won doesn't want to try it yet.

After feeling the gravity on Mars, the probe vehicle carried on the spacecraft was also transported out with the assistance of the X-1 industrial robot.

Compared with the traditional probe car, the shape of this probe car is much stranger.

In particular, there is a large sunken hole in the central area, which confuses the audience in the live broadcast room.

But when Won climbed into the hole, the audience suddenly understood.

[I wipe, this hole was originally used in this way. 】

[Good guy, I thought it was a probe car for scientific research at first, but I didn't expect it to be used for transportation by the anchor. 】

[Drag racing on Mars, this is No.1 in history. 】

【Brilliant! 】

【The appearance of the anchor squatting in the car reminds me of a military parade.】

[Comrades, good comrades, you have worked hard!Serve the people! 】

【嗐. 】

[The anchor is planning to drive to find the Martians? 】

[If the car overturns, it will probably be frozen on Mars, and there is no one to rescue it. 】

Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Han Yuan smiled.

How could it be possible for the thing he designed to overturn easily? This thing is called a car, but it does not use wheels, but tracks.

And there are more than two, there are six. The carrying area and light weight can almost make this car drive on mud.

Of course, it can't run very fast, drag racing is impossible, and it tops out at about [-] kilometers per hour.

In addition, this thing is not actually controlled by him manually, but by Xiao Qi.

Signal transmissions are carried out by low-orbiting satellites overhead, and data calculations are handled by supercomputers inside Spaceship Zero.

The advantage of this is that it can fully ensure safety, as well as stable and delay-free signal transmission.

Because the time when he landed on Mars was not the closest node between Mars and the earth. At present, Mars is more than 2 million kilometers away from the earth. It takes more than 600 seconds or more than ten minutes for electromagnetic waves to travel from the earth to Mars.

Although software technology can make up for this to a certain extent, safety cannot be guaranteed after such a long delay in driving.

On the contrary, the No. [-] spacecraft is near him. Although the electromagnetic wave carrying the signal needs to be retransmitted by the satellite once, it is countless times faster than calculating and transmitting the data on the earth.

Although the performance of the computer on the spacecraft is not as strong as that of the computing array on Earth, performance is not a problem compared to the fatal signal delay problem.

After all, simply controlling a probe car to drive does not account for much computing performance.

The rover, carrying Korean won, was driving at the bottom of the Mariner Grand Canyon.

As we moved forward, the surrounding scenery also began to change. Various raised and jagged triangular rocks began to appear on the originally flat ground.

The rocks, which look like a row of shark teeth, are clearly water and wind eroded, and at the base are a layer of maroon soil.

It is clear that there has been a great deal of water flow at the bottom of the Mariner Grand Canyon over the past unknown years.

After these water flows disappeared, the Martian storm processed them again.

However, neither the water flow nor the storm can completely etch away these rocks, which shows that the hardness is quite high.

This is why Won chose to park the spacecraft on the other side and choose to take the rover to the destination.

Parking the spaceship here is like stopping on a row of nails.

Going a little further, the surrounding rough and primitive landforms have undergone obvious changes.

The previous shark-tooth-like landforms no longer appear, replaced by circles of sand and dust arcs.

If you look down from a high altitude, it will be obvious that these arcs form an ear shape.

At this point, Han Yuan dared not drive the rover any further.

This is one of the core areas of the Mariner Grand Canyon. According to the previous detection data, there is a lot of water and water ice in the center of the pinna and under it.

This auricle-shaped arc soil layer is caused by water flow year after year.

Moreover, this terrain also has an environment similar to swamps and quicksand on the earth.

When exploring Mars before, a wheeled rover got stuck inside and couldn't get out.

If the rover goes further, it may encounter an environment like quicksand on the earth.

Although he has set the current probe car's tracks wide enough and enough, there is still the possibility of sinking.

So Han Yuan could only get out of the car by himself, stay here, and then let Xiao Qi drive the probe car to go to the central area to take samples.

If there is life on Mars, there is a high probability that it will be found in the soil here.

Standing on the fine loess, Han Yuan watched the rover go away. The wide track left clear traces on the ground, and he could vaguely see some wetness, which caught his attention.

After sending a command to Xiaoqi, an X-1 industrial robot rolled over behind him, and the modified arm started digging on the ground.

After a few shovels went down, Han Yuan stopped the digging work.

Because I saw water.

Strictly speaking, it is not water, but a mixture of ice and sand.

The place he stepped on was somewhat similar to the northern seaside. Whenever winter came, strange-shaped smoothie flowers would freeze on the beach.

Han Yuan bent down to pick up a small piece of frozen soil, and squeezed it with his hands through the space suit.

It is very hard, and it has not been crushed even with little force, which shows that the temperature here is low enough to be solid enough to be frozen into the frozen soil.

Fortunately, the hands of his spacesuit are specially made, so there is no need to worry about the hard ice and soil cutting the clothes.

Otherwise, it would be bad, if the space suit leaks, it will be a big hole.

After taking this small piece of soil and taking some samples, Won returned to the spaceship.

The sample tanks brought back have undergone various sterilizations and are stored in the No. [-] sub-chamber. There are some basic experimental equipment here to test them.

The first is various preliminary inspections such as data recording, morphological analysis, and appearance photography.

After it is finished, it is thawed, and the ingredients and materials inside are further analyzed.

Obviously, after being placed in the transparent glass tank for a while, the hard soil that was originally frozen into a ball will have softened due to the high temperature in the sub-chamber.

The melted ice water can still see subtle flows at the bottom of the glass jar.

A small sample was taken and sent to the testing equipment for analysis.

Soon, the preliminary inspection results will come out.

As soon as he got the analysis result, Han Yuan's pupils dilated rapidly, and his lips parted unconsciously.

At the same time, the audience in the live broadcast room were also blown away.

Because on the virtual screen that displays the analysis results, the displayed data has a line of text that is specially marked.

[Unknown microorganisms detected! 】

A line of fonts that were automatically bolded by the smart device stunned Won and everyone in the studio.

【Fuck! 】

[Unknown microorganisms detected!There really is life on Mars! 】

【microorganism!Life on Mars! 】

[With the existence of microorganisms, there may be more advanced life, such as water bears, creatures with extremely tenacious vitality. 】

[Maybe there is a Martian virus!Just don't infect the earth. Anyway, the cold spirit produced on the earth will definitely not kill the Martian cold virus. 】

[In 21 years, the NASA space agency once released a news that the probe observed "fungi" emerging from the Martian soil, like mushrooms on the earth, but it was later speculated to be a spherical condensate on the surface of Mars. Now It seems that maybe it is really fungus bacteria or something. 】

[This is the first time humans have discovered life outside the earth, right?I didn't expect that besides the earth, there are life on other planets in the solar system. Since there is life on Mars, maybe Venus, Mercury, and Pluto also have life on those planets. 】

[There are microorganisms, maybe Martians really existed before, billions of years of history are enough to evolve advanced intelligent life. 】

[There was such a big discovery in the first landing, we should have arranged for artificial landing on Mars earlier. 】

[Farewell, don’t bring it back to Earth. If it leaks, it will destroy the ecological environment. Once the microorganisms on Mars survive on the earth, the nearest natural enemies are hundreds of millions of kilometers away. 】
