Vol 2 Chapter 458: , The power of life (1)

Scientists put the seeds of life on Mars, and go to various places on Mars every week to collect the latest sample data in order to study the survival of these biological seeds on Mars.
The biological research center of the 'Hanwu Great Emperor' spacecraft, at this time, 3 months have passed since the launch of biological seeds.
"From the analysis of the samples we collected, the samples of Martian microorganisms this week, both in number, variety and their diffusion range, have exploded, and there have been several microorganisms that we have not found on Earth."
Liu Daoming analyzed the latest samples from this week to the scientists present. The big screen depicts the current situation of Mars' microbes in the form of data patterns.
"Everyone knows that in the first few weeks, we were almost unable to find the microorganisms and cyanobacteria we dropped, but the samples collected this week not only showed an explosive increase in the number of microorganisms, but also the cyanobacteria. "
"We can now say with certainty that these creatures have adapted to the Martian environment and are starting to reproduce wildly."
"What about land lichens?" Everyone heard a happy smile after hearing Liu Daoming's words, and quickly asked about the situation of land lichens.
"Lichens are currently in the adaptation phase, and there is no obvious sign of development and growth, but in the region of Mars near the South Pole, the temperature here is relatively cold, the water vapor is relatively stable and rich, and the lichens here grow very well. "
Lichens are very adaptable to cold weather. The large-scale presence of lichens in the north and south regions of the earth can prove that lichens in the Arctic region are the main food for animals such as elk.
"That's great!" The scientists at the Biological Research Center couldn't help feeling excited.
"Lichens can survive and grow well, indicating that Mars' environment is indeed very good. At present, in the Antarctic region of Mars, where the water vapor is relatively stable, lichens can be produced well. In other regions, lichens either die or are Barely living, can we consider the means of artificial rainfall to promote the growth of lichens? "
Some scientists immediately guessed that the microbes in the Martian ocean need not be managed, and people do not need to live in the ocean. Land is the most important. Everyone naturally hopes that Mars can be turned into a green planet sooner.
"I do n’t think artificial rainfall. There are no plants on the surface of Mars. The rainwater will be lost as soon as it reaches the ground. The sun will become very dry during the daytime. I think that many water spray facilities can be added manually. The water in Mars's ocean is fresh water and can be directly irrigated. We can extract water from the ocean and then spray the water evenly and continuously onto the plants that need water through these water spraying facilities. "
Soon, some scientists shook their heads, and Mars was above the vast southern hemisphere continent. At this time, there was no grass, and there was nothing to retain water. The other party's proposal was obviously inappropriate.
"Wei Xian, Mars's continent has an area of ​​more than 80 million square kilometers. How much does it cost to build this artificial water spraying facility? Just thinking about it, I think it's not enough to spend our budget."
Li Jingxuan shook his head when he heard that the continent area of ​​Mars's southern hemisphere is too large. It would cost too much to build artificial water spraying facilities, and the above would definitely not agree.
"We don't have to cover the entire continent from the beginning. We only need to select an area for experiments. If it is feasible, we can apply to it. I think if it can really achieve the greening of Mars, the above should be It will agree, and these facilities can also be used for a long time in the future. "
Wei Xian said with a smile, Wei Xian is a genius scientist in the Institute of Biology, and also graduated from Xinghe University of Science and Technology, and counts Li Jingxuan and Liu Daoming.
"If you just choose an area, I think it is okay. We can also conduct experiments by increasing the number of plant seeds, varieties, and so on, and researching the plants that are most suitable for the current environment of Mars. If there are real results, I Go to the principal to apply for resources. "
Liu Daoming nodded. For this small-scale scientific experiment, Xinghe Technology has always been very supportive. Once there are results, more resources and support will not be hesitant. Science requires investment. People at Xinghe Technology are very aware of this. For one thing, I have never been embarrassed in this regard.
"I think we should try to plant more plants during the experiment. It is best to take all the plants on the earth and try them. We can also try to get all the combinations we have obtained through genetic recombination technology to Mars. With 1% of plants able to survive on Mars, we can quickly extract plant genes adapted to the Martian environment and recombine to obtain plants that can truly transform Mars. "
Wei Xian was naturally very excited when he heard it. He quickly expressed his thoughts. Other scientists nodded after hearing it. Everyone is studying biotechnology, although the direction of specialization may be different. However, we all have some understanding of genetic recombination technology, and Wei Xian's statement is completely correct.
"Let ’s do this. I will let Wei Xianlai take charge of this matter. I choose a place. It does n’t matter if the area is larger. We are not bad at this. The key is to collect more data and research and transform it for the next step. Martian plants prepare. "
"Now the company is still mining asteroids to hit Mars to increase its atmosphere and mass, so after choosing a good place, remember to communicate with the above side and try to choose a relatively safe area."
Liu Daoming nodded after thinking about it, and decided to leave these tasks to Wei Xian to take charge. His ability is still okay. Now it is his idea and proposal.
...
Wei Xian's action was very rapid. He quickly communicated with the Mars transformation project team, and selected a region near the ocean on Mars's middle-earth continent for experiments.
Most of the regions above Mars now have new names, and the Middle-earth continent is named after everyone has been voting.
The experimental area of ​​Wei Xian is not large, it is only a few hundred square kilometers, which is the scope of a small town. This area belongs to the equator area of ​​Mars and is close to the ocean area. The temperature is relatively mild and the soil layer here is relatively thick. More importantly, this area is far from the asteroid impact area that will be scattered to Mars next.
Anti-gravity spacecraft continuously landed from space to the area selected by Wei Xian, and engineering vehicles continued to be deployed from the anti-gravity spacecraft.
Then he began to get busy and continue to lay out sprinkler irrigation facilities. Because all the mechanized operations are used, the progress of the project is very fast. In just a few days, the entire area has been completed with sprinkler irrigation facilities.
As soon as the sprinkler irrigation facility was completed, an anti-gravity spacecraft began to sow seeds in this area. With the slow flight of a large anti-gravity spacecraft, countless small plant seeds fell to the sky like raindrops. On this barren land.
I don't know how many times the sowing is faster than the construction of sprinkler irrigation facilities. In just a few hours, the entire experimental area has been seeded with countless seeds.
"哧 ~ 哧 ~"
As such sounds rang out everywhere, the sprinklers installed in each place started to rotate, and accompanied by white mist-like rainwater sprinkled to the ground.
Because the time chosen is daylight, the temperature of Mars is relatively okay, especially near the equator, so that these seeds can have a relatively warm and humid environment.
"The seeds of hope have been sown, all that is needed is to wait slowly."
Wei Xian took a spaceship to watch everything happening through the glass and began to wait patiently.
The seeds are sown and water is available. Even Wei Xian has sowed a lot of organic fertilizers in this area, so as to give these plant seeds a good initial living environment.
Soon, the day passed.
In the spacecraft ‘Hanwu Great Emperor’, Wei Xian did n’t have any drowsiness. He came to the monitoring center. There are all kinds of latest data transmitted from the experimental area. Among them, the temperature he is most concerned about is temperature.
After the transformation of Mars, the temperature difference has not been as great as before ~ ​​EbookFREE.me ~ At first it was tens of degrees below zero, even on Baidu. At such a low temperature, any life would be frozen.
Now that we have the ocean, the atmosphere is also thicker, and the temperature of Mars is relatively stable. As the Mars ocean begins to produce ocean currents and further adjust the temperature of Mars, the temperature difference is much smaller and much smaller.
However, the temperature at night is still very low. Even at night, the temperature of Mars's equator will drop to more than ten degrees below zero. Compared with the earth, the temperature difference is still very large.
"The temperature is minus 10 degrees. Fortunately, it seems that the continuous watering during the day has greatly increased the water vapor content in this area, which has a small-scale greenhouse effect, raising the temperature here by several degrees at night. "
Wei Xian looked at the monitoring data in the computer and breathed a long sigh of relief.
The pattern in the computer shows the temperature data of each monitoring point in the entire area. The temperature in the middle area is relatively higher. Obviously, water vapor has a certain thermal insulation effect.
The water spraying facility sprays water continuously during the day and stops at night, so the week passes quickly.
