Interstellar Industrial Age

v2 Chapter 394: , Amino acids

In the outer space of Mars, the ‘Kwafak’ spacecraft orbits Mars slowly. Scientists are very busy, using various scientific instruments to start a comprehensive survey of Mars.

Mars's northern hemisphere is very flat, an endless plain with a very large area.

An anti-gravity spacecraft dives down from the sky, and gets slower as it gets closer to the surface of Mars.

Soon, the spacecraft landed very smoothly on the surface of Mars. With the sound of machinery, the hatch at the rear of the spacecraft slowly opened, and an unmanned Mars slowly moved from the spacecraft's warehouse. come out.

This unmanned Mars rover, like a curious baby, began to search continuously on the red surface of Mars. Take a look here, where to look, dig a little dirt here, where to knock a stone, and sometimes use the Mars rover The drill bit is constantly drilling underground to dig deeper soil and rocks.

Samples were continuously collected, and soon the engineering vehicle returned to the spacecraft. After collecting samples from this area, the spacecraft took off again and flew towards the next area.

The North Pole of Mars is a white world.

A spaceship landed here, and a Mars ruck came out of it, constantly hitting the ice cubes here to collect the ice cubes, and at the same time constantly drilling holes, collecting samples from deep layers, and looking for liquid water.

Anti-gravity spacecraft landed in various regions of Mars, and samples were continuously collected. The spacecraft that collected the samples also skyrocketed, returned to space, and transported the collected samples to 'Kwaf 'Spaceship above.

Scientists on the spacecraft Kuafu have long been unable to wait. There are various advanced scientific instruments on the spacecraft, which are enough to analyze the collected samples, and also for the next manned landing. ready.

"This Mars is really barren. Judging from the information collected in various regions of Mars, the resources on Mars are not even as good as the Moon."

Long Zhankong gave an analysis report to Huang Zhibin. The data was obtained by scientists after analyzing the samples collected from various regions of Mars. It is much more accurate than continuing to probe in space.

The main element of Martian soil is oxygen, which accounts for about 50%, silicon is 15-30%, iron is 15-16%, aluminum is 2-7%, calcium is 3-8% and a small amount of potassium, phosphorus, sulfur , Chlorine, tantalum, chromium, magnesium, cobalt, nickel, copper, etc.

The sulfur content (2.6 to 3.1%) is 1 to 2 orders of magnitude higher than the average crust content, and the potassium content is less than 0.25%. Thorium, strontium, yttrium and zirconium are much lower than most earth igneous rocks.

The chemical composition of Martian soil is characterized by high iron, medium magnesium, calcium and sulfur, and lower aluminum. Its chemical composition does not represent the composition of the original rock. It is likely to be the product of various chemical and weathering reactions of the magnesium iron igneous rock. .

According to the calculation of the mineral composition, the Martian soil is a mixture of 80% iron-rich clay, about 10% magnesium sulfate, about 5% carbonate, and about 5% iron oxide. The mineral composition of the mixture is equivalent to 59.1%. Chlorite, 21.7% montmorillonite, 11.8% alumite, 1% stone salt, about 0.5% and 5.9% calcite.

"It's really barren, there are no scarce resources, and there is still a lot of He3 on the moon!" Huang Zhibin saw the data from the beginning to the end. They are some very common elements, and there is nothing to pay attention to at all.

"So the moon is a gift from the universe to mankind!" Someone also said with a smile.

"However, these are the soil data on the surface of Mars. The subdivision of Mars' minerals that really needs to be explored needs to be further excavated. It is planned that someone will log in to Mars tomorrow and dig some deeper soil and rocks."

"I don't believe it. How big a planet can be without precious resources."

Dragon Fight thought for a while and said that although the mass of Mars is much smaller than that of the earth, it is also a planet anyway, and the thin camel is larger than a horse.

On the other side, Li Jingxuan and Liu Daoming are testing the samples on the biological laboratory on the Kuafu spacecraft, looking for something special.

"No sample A0230 was found, is it because the samples collected are all surface samples, and so far nothing has been found."

Li Jingxuan just finished a sample, and said with some discouragement.

He and Liu Daoming have not yet found traces of life on Mars.

"Haha ~ I found it, I found it ~"

At this moment, Liu Daoming suddenly laughed happily, and the whole person seemed very excited and dancing.

"found it?"

As soon as Li Jingxuan heard, the whole person was excited and immediately floated to Liu Daoming.

"Finded, amino acids, amino acids that are unique to living things."

Liu Daoming nodded excitedly and said, "Hurry up and test the samples collected from the north and south glaciers of Mars. I guess there are absolutely living things below the glaciers on the north and south of Mars."

"Amino acids?"

When Li Jingxuan heard it, he immediately became excited. He clearly knew that there was only one source of amino acids, that is, microorganisms. The discovery of amino acids meant that there were microorganisms on Mars, which meant that there was extraterrestrial life.

If you can find extraterrestrial life on Mars, that means that life is not limited to the earth, but exists widely in the universe. The universe is huge, and humans are definitely not the only higher creatures. Aliens, aliens Civilization must exist.

This will completely change human perception of the universe, life, and the origin of species. This means that life should be widespread in the universe, and the earth is definitely not unique.

"This is definitely the most significant discovery of this century!"

The news was quickly sent back to Earth through quantum communication. Scientists at the Xinghe Academy of Science all screamed like chicken blood.

"How amazing is life, and the universe is so amazing!"

Qin Yi looked at the scientists around him excitedly, and couldn't help laughing.

Qin Yi knows that life exists universally in every corner of the universe. The earth is definitely not the only life planet in the universe. Of course, this does not mean that a life planet like the earth is not precious. Quite the contrary, although there are many life in the universe, A top life planet like Earth is still a very precious resource, and it is something that major civilizations must fight for.

The earth has been invaluable for many billions of years. It has countless species, like an oasis in the vast desert of the universe, an oasis of life, bred countless lives, and more importantly, it can breed a race with wisdom.

The value of a top life planet like Earth is inestimable.

You must know that the universe is very large and various resources are extremely abundant. For example, gold reserves are very small on the earth, but in the universe, the reserves are very large. There are many asteroids in the asteroid belt. gold.

Metal elements such as iron, copper, gold, silver, etc. are very common in the universe, and there are many, but there are not many living planets like Earth. Each one is a pearl in the universe and is powerful. The precious wealth that civilization competes for.

Thinking of everything that is seen in the science and technology tower, Qin Yi is also anxious to be able to explore the universe now, see different universe civilizations, and see all kinds of magical creatures.

At this time, on the Mars side, as the news that amino acids were found on Mars samples spread throughout the Kuafu spacecraft, scientists were becoming excited.

"Captain, we are going to the north and south poles of Mars to mine deeper samples."

"The discovery of extraterrestrial life, this is the most significant discovery of this century, refreshing our human understanding of life ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ I have been a bit too long to want to see the North and South Glaciers of Mars What is life like? "

Liu Daoming found Wu Renjie, the captain of the Kuafu spacecraft, and begged to go to Mars now to collect more and deeper samples.

"Don't worry, I am afraid there is no way to land on Mars today. The hurricane above Mars is too strong. At present, we do not know enough about hurricanes on Mars. If there is an emergency, landing on Mars will be very dangerous. Observe Let's talk next. "

Wu Renjie shook his head. He is the captain. Although he can understand the excitement of the scientists at this time, he should think more about the safety of everyone.

Hurricanes on Mars are very common, and it seems that there is no regular pattern at present. Landing on Mars is likely to encounter hurricanes. This hurricane over class 21 is enough to bring people into the sky, and it is easy for things to happen.

"Afraid of some hurricane, don't we have satellites in space?"

"As soon as a hurricane is about to form, can you tell us immediately?"

"Every time there is a typhoon on Earth, we can warn in advance. Isn't it possible on Mars?"

Li Jingxuan said inadvertently that it wasn't just a hurricane. There are more than ten typhoons on the earth every year, and early warning can be issued every time.

"Although we can detect the hurricane above Mars, it is forming very fast. It is not like a typhoon above our earth. We know too little about Mars, and are very unsafe. Wait a minute. My side You can send an unmanned spacecraft down to drill deeper areas and collect more samples. The same is true. "

Wu Renjie said bitterly that these scientists are the boss's treasures and must not be in trouble.
