Chapter 674 The Discovery of Mars
At this time, the person in charge of the Xuan Ming, the deputy captain and the heads of other departments did not dare to neglect, and immediately began to load various materials into the battleship, because they were very aware of the risks they would face during this trip.
First of all, it is natural that this warship is the first warship of human civilization. There is no experience in manufacturing warships before. Although it has been manufactured now, no one knows whether this warship will have problems during its voyage. Will there be a strike halfway through.
You know, this is not a short-distance voyage. As long as the warship has a problem, human civilization can immediately start rescue, but long-distance voyages cannot work. Once the warship has a problem, especially when the warship reaches the outer circle of the solar system, At that time rescue became very difficult.
Let’s not to mention that apart from the Dijiang and their Xuanming, there is no longer a third spacecraft that can fly such a long distance, so if there is a problem, we can only let the Dijiang go. However, even if the Dijiang is to be rescued, it will only take a few months to arrive.
Also, like the small Planet belt, the Kuiper belt is also composed of countless small planets. Once the spacecraft has a problem in the small planet belt, especially when it loses power, it is four to five dangerous. .
Therefore, before setting off, they have to be fully prepared.
In the end, when the battleship Xuanming, after nearly a week of preparations, set sail in the blessings of everyone.
…..
Just as the battleship Xuanming Universe began to sail to the destination of the first trial voyage, the Kuiper belt, at this time the Dijiang spacecraft, which was far away in the little Planet belt, had been on Ceres for nearly a month, but at this time The people on the Dijiang did not start to lose interest because the spacecraft had stayed on Ceres for a long time.
On the contrary, since the Dijiang spacecraft has discovered a lot of resources during its exploration of Ceres during this period of time, everyone on the Dijiang has become very excited.
“Xiaowei! How is the situation on your side? I have discovered new minerals here, and there is still a very large and pure titanium ore.” On Ceres, the geology professional Xiaowei headset, said Here came the voice of Xiao Liu who was also doing resource exploration a few kilometers away.
“I haven’t made any major discoveries yet. I have only discovered some unknown energy crystal mines, that is, the mine we just named the No. 2 energy crystal. Although the reserves are not small, we found these types of mines on Ceres. There are so many things that make me feel a little numb.” Xiaowei said.
“Why? You found the second crystal mine again! You are really lucky. Although the number of such minerals on Ceres is very large, even its total reserves have reached hundreds of millions of tons, but crystals like this According to previous survey data, there should not be many in the solar system, so I think its value is definitely more than we imagined, and even diamonds of the same size are not as valuable as these crystals.” Xiao Liu said.
“Yes! You know, we have not only explored Ceres during this period of reconnaissance, but even sent a large number of detectors to these small Planets near Ceres to conduct a series of explorations. However, , On these small planets, we did not find the existence of these crystals at all. Even if there were, there were only some discoveries on the small Planet closest to Ceres, and the reserves were still very small.
According to speculation, these crystals on the little planets near these Ceres should also come from Ceres.
Therefore, it can be seen from here that these crystals are absolutely invaluable. “Xiao Wei also said.
Then they chatted casually, but while chatting, they talked about other aspects of the topic, such as now.
“Xiao Liu heard that the underground resource detection department has drilled nearly three kilometers underground, but still has not found the underground liquid water resources of Ceres. Is it the situation of Ceres? It does not match the data we detected and calculated before. what!
After all, when we calculated before, the data showed that Ceres is composed of water at least 40% and nearly 50%. If this is the case, then we should have drilled into liquid water long ago. But what we have drilled now is still a mixture of ice and dry ice, which is still a bit wrong with our data! “Xiao Wei said.
“No, the data should be correct. Isn’t the difficulty ice water? It’s just a form of water. What’s more, what we have drilled now is only three kilometers. According to our previous calculations, Ceres’ liquid water is at least It is also below five kilometers underground. After all, where Ceres is located, but in the Little Planet zone, the sunlight irradiated here is far less than that of Mars, and the natural temperature is far less than that of Mars, so even There is liquid water underground, and it must be at a deeper depth, so the existence of liquid water on Ceres is absolute.
What we can’t be sure about right now is that we don’t know if Ceres is the same as Mars’ underground, in the liquid water, there is life, or even a complete biological chain. “Xiao Liu said.
As Xiao Liu said, before they came to Ceres, the people in the polar regions of Mars had conducted large-scale drilling in many places on Mars, where they suspected of having underground liquid water resources. The existence of groundwater was discovered, and in addition to groundwater, there are also a large number of organisms in these places, and there is still a complete biological chain, which makes the research department over there very excited.
At this time, in order to explore the conditions of underground life on Mars, the biological research department there also dropped a large number of unmanned underwater probes into the underground lakes of Mars, explored these underground lakes, and obtained a large number of Data on life in the Martian underground lake.
Fortunately, the wireless communication technology of human civilization has undergone all-round upgrades. Basically all Universe communications and unmanned detectors have abandoned traditional radio or light wave communications in favor of neutrinos and quantum Or else, if these probes still use radio to communicate, then it’s impossible to communicate in such a deep underground with the penetration of radio, let alone on the surface of Mars. These probes are operating to detect conditions under Mars.
Of course, the results of the exploration of the Martian underground lake are also very fruitful. First of all, the South Pole of Mars was discovered, then the underground lake is even more underground. In fact, what everyone found on the ground is only a small part, or a huge underground sea outcrop. In fact, the area of the Antarctic underground sea of Mars is very large. According to the survey data, the water resources contained in the underground sea have reached about one percent of the earth, which is not big for such a Mars. For Planet, it’s already very amazing.
