The north pole of Mars is covered with a thick layer of ice. This ice layer is different from the ice layers of the north and south poles of the earth. The ice layers of the north and south poles on the earth are water. It is carbon dioxide, and water is not the main ingredient.

The temperature on the north and south of Mars is too low. Carbon dioxide is in a solid state, which is what we usually call dry ice. The ice here is composed of dry ice and ice.

It's very desolate here. There is no trace of life. The occasional strong wind brings a trace of cold. The temperature is very low, below -100 degrees. Such a low temperature, even if the penguin is here, it can't resist at all. live.

Between the sky, a spaceship descended from the sky and flew towards the ice of the North Pole. As it approached the ground, its speed became slower.

The spacecraft did not rush to berth, but kept flying against the ground. It seemed to be looking for a solid area. Soon, the spacecraft found a flat area with bare rocks and landed on it.

"The outdoor temperature is 124 degrees Celsius ~"

"Air pressure 0.1 standard atmosphere ~"

"Good light and strong UV ~"

"..."

"It's really cold enough."

While wearing a special Mars landing spacesuit, Liu Daoming also listened carefully to the sound from the spacecraft. When he heard more than 100 degrees below zero, he couldn't help taking a nap. The temperature was too cold. It is impossible to reach such a low temperature even in the north and south regions.

"The temperature is too low and life is difficult to exist. It depends on whether the temperature under the ice layer will increase. Generally speaking, if the temperature can be around zero, it can still give birth to life."

Li Jingxuan was also busy wearing space suits. Today, the two of them also landed on Mars with the team, preparing to drill holes in the ice to see if there is liquid water at the bottom of the ice, and to see if they can find life.

"Huh ~"

Soon, the spacecraft's hatch was opened with a mechanical replacement, and another high-tech engineering vehicle was also opened. Liu Daoming and Li Jingxuan drove one.

The temperature is too low, and everyone ’s spacesuits are very heavy. They can only rely on mechanical power to complete the work. Fortunately, scientists have envisioned a variety of extremes when conducting scientific research around the sun. Happening.

All engineering vehicles are specially developed. Even in extreme low-temperature conditions of more than minus 100, they still have good performance and can be used with confidence.

"I'm going ~ Scared the baby, Liu Daoming looks at the sky ~"

"How is this sun blue?"

Li Jingxuan drove the engineer just out of the spacecraft, looked up at the sky, and when he saw a round of strange blue, the whole man couldn't help crying out.

"It's really blue and looks a little creepy."

Liu Daoming looked up at the sky, and the whole man couldn't help but said in surprise.

"This should be related to scattering. Because Mars has no water and no vegetation, under the erosion of hundreds of millions of years, Mars shows that there are countless pieces of crushed sand and gravel, and coupled with the hurricanes on Mars, this atmosphere The dust particles are particularly large and very large. "

"The large particles of dust will scatter and scatter the red part of the sunlight, so when we look on Mars, the sun is blue."

Liu Daoming thought for a while and said that although he is a scientist who studies biology, the physical level is also a drop. The things in this color are attributed to the problem of light scattering in the first time.

"There should be no problem in your analysis. This kind of scattering should be Mill's scattering. The scattering wavelength is the same as the red band of the particle size. As a result, the red frontal part of our line of sight is scattered, so the sun we see is blue. Strange Sun. "

Li Jingxuan thought for a while and added.

"There is nothing to fuss about, this is the problem of light scattering. In the future, when we go to other alien planets and see any purple, green, or cyan sun, don't make a fuss, or be careful to be said to be soil buns!"

Liu Daoming smiled and said that the sun on the earth is red. Later, when going to other planets, it may be blue, purple, etc., because there are seven colors of light.

The engineering vehicle is driving slowly on the thick ice layer. The engineer has various detection instruments on it. Through these detection instruments, scientists can clearly know the thickness of the ice layer, and a general situation under the ice layer.

"Just choose here. The ice is not too thick."

Soon, Liu Daoming chose an area and began to get busy.

The engineering vehicles they drive are large-scale engineering vehicles, and they are also high-tech products. Drilling is just a piece of cake for it, without any difficulty.

Along with the sound of machinery, a large amount of broken ice is continuously taken out, and the depth of the hole is getting deeper and deeper.

While drilling and collecting samples, each layer must be collected so that it can be tested in the laboratory to understand the mystery hidden under this thick ice layer in detail.

"At a depth of 20 meters, the temperature rises very fast, and it is only just over 50 degrees below zero."

At the same time, Liu Daoming and Li Jingxuan also paid close attention to the temperature below the ice layer, because they knew clearly that temperature was an important condition for the existence of life.

"At a depth of 30 meters, the ice has penetrated."

It didn't take long for Liu Daoming to open a hole in the ice layer to penetrate the ice layer.

"The liquid water is below, and the temperature is only about zero degrees. It is incredible how much the temperature has risen."

Li Jingxuan was constantly watching the data transmitted by the detector, saying very surprised.

"Launch a small detector and go in ~"

Liu Daoming is also in the spirit. He controls the engineer and launches a small fish-like detector from the drilled hole.

This fish-shaped detector is also a high-tech product, which integrates many functions such as communication, remote control, remote sensing, detection and so on.

The detector was fired in, and Liu Daoming and Li Jingxuan watched the video transmitted by the detector nervously.

Under the ice layer is a dark water world. The visibility here is very low, and it is dark. The upper ice blocks look very bright here, just like the same dark sky enveloped in this dark little world.

The lights on the detector turn on automatically, illuminating the world around.

This is a very quiet world. There are no waves. In the pure darkness, the silence is scary.

The detector is constantly submerged underwater. This high-tech detector was developed by scientists at the Xinghe Academy of Sciences to study the ocean. In theory, it can detect the ocean floor several kilometers deep.

As it goes down, it gets darker, until it is completely dark, without a trace of light, and soon the detector reaches the bottom, which is not too deep, which is a depth of several hundred meters.

"The water temperature has risen to 10 degrees above zero. At this temperature, many living things on the earth can survive, let alone those primitive lives."

"It just doesn't make sense, why is the temperature of this water going down?"

Li Jingxuan has been paying close attention to the data and seeing the temperature rise to about 10 degrees, he is also excited to say.

"Because there are active volcanoes at the bottom."

Liu Daoming was also watching all this closely, and soon it was discovered.

The remote control slowly moved the detector towards an area, where the temperature was getting higher and higher, and at the same time, it was obvious that there was water flowing and the detector became unstable.

Soon, the detector came to a submarine crater. The lights illuminate it, and you can see bubbles floating upward. At the same time, you can see that red magma slowly emerges from the crater and forms. A very conditional underwater volcanic landscape.

"Isn't this Martian kernel supposed to go out?"

"I didn't expect to see any signs of active volcano movement."

Li Jingxuan's eyes widened, and scientists had an in-depth analysis of Mars ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ One of the most important aspects is to guess that Mars should be like the earth, a bustling one, many millions of years ago. Planet of life.

Just because Mars is too small, its core does not want the Earth's core to burn continuously, so Mars' core has been extinguished many billion years ago.

Because the Martian core is extinguished, the magnetic field of Mars disappears, so that the atmosphere of Mars is dissipated, becomes very thin, and eventually changes from a life planet to a dead barren planet.

But everything I see now is enough to overthrow this view. Obviously, the core of Mars is not extinguished. Otherwise, why are there still active volcanoes?

"It's incredible ~ Mars's core hasn't gone out yet!"

Liu Daoming also nodded in surprise. The presence of an active volcano is enough to prove that Mars 'core is still working, which also shows that Mars' heart is still beating.

"This discovery is enough to overthrow all previous knowledge of Mars, and perhaps billions of years ago, Mars really had a thriving life."

Soon, the two realized that this major discovery would definitely overthrow previous knowledge of Mars.

"There is definitely life here, there is water, and the temperature can be better than the environment of the primitive ocean on our planet. As long as time is enough, life here is enough to give birth, and if this continues, life here can still multiply To a certain degree. "

Liu Dao is obviously very excited. The conditions here are already very good for life. You must know that the environment of the primitive ocean on the earth is not yet the environment here.

"Hurry up to collect samples. There will definitely be major discoveries here. Extraterrestrial life, even if it is primitive extraterrestrial life, is definitely the most significant discovery of this century."
