After the soldiers left, Li Zhenhua, with the slightest doubt, opened the electronic file he had just received on a computer that didn't even have a network card, Bluetooth, or anything else installed.

Originally, in his opinion, he guessed that the information sent this time might be at most the most recent situations related to the Sun Star, but when he actually opened the file, he realized how outrageous his idea was.

He really didn't expect that the content of the documents sent to him would actually be about the situation on Mars.

This made him feel unusually curious. He was still curious enough about Mars. Even though he had been to the moon before, he was still very interested in Mars, which he had been touting as the most suitable place for human immigration.

His curiosity about the situation on Mars made him put aside all the things he was doing at the moment, and put all his energy on the current document.

He looked at the information in his hand attentively, and after looking at it, he understood. It turned out that this was just a video about volcanic eruptions on Mars, and at the end there were some conclusions drawn by various experts.

After reading the information in his hand, he became less interested, because in his inherent thoughts, Mars was not that important to the current Kyushu.

Because for the current earth, there is no large-scale immigration to the outside of the earth, and the importance of Mars here is not that high.

To say why he has such thoughts is completely contrary to the inherent opinions of the public.

That's because in his opinion, if you want to immigrate to Mars, you must first transform Mars. The cost involved can be imagined, and there are also many technical difficulties in transforming Mars now. .

The biggest problem currently facing Mars is that it does not have a magnetic field. Restarting its magnetic field is the first priority. It is unimaginable how huge a problem it is to restart the Martian magnetic field.

Restarting the Martian magnetic field is only the first step, and large-scale investments will be required in the follow-up. These investments in transforming Mars will be extremely expensive in terms of costs.

In this way, when they transform Mars and make it suitable for human habitation, I don't know how many years have passed. This is transforming a planet, not a small renovation of a house.

Time, material resources and many other things were added together, and the result was just a rough house. The investment and the harvest were simply not proportional.

Therefore, in his opinion, everything on Mars does not have much appeal to him. As for immigrating to Mars, it is completely thankless.

And judging from the current situation of the earth, in terms of population, the earth has not yet reached its capacity limit. Kyushu's living space on the earth is still enough, and there is no need to work hard towards Mars.

At present, for Kyushu, if the moon can be fully utilized with the current technology, it will be considered completely sufficient.

If we really want to carry out extraterrestrial immigration, wouldn't it be more advantageous to immigrate to the moon than to Mars?

In comparison, the moon and the earth are closer, and both are planets unsuitable for human habitation. In his eyes, there is no difference between the moon and Mars, and the moon has more advantages because of its location in space.

Compared with the huge cost of transforming Mars to make it habitable, it is more cost-effective to build a large-scale base on the moon!

Li Zhenhua's idea is that if the earth can no longer accommodate more people in the future, and large-scale extraterrestrial immigration is really necessary, it is better to directly find an Earth-like planet to relocate there.

Don't think that his ideas are too advanced or unrealistic, but the opposite is true. This is the best direction.

The current technical level is not up to par. Is it possible that technology will not be able to solve related problems in the future?

In fact, in his mind's ranking, Mars is not at the top. What he values ​​most is actually those asteroids and even meteors in the universe that are not very big in size and may or may not have fixed orbits. These stars are more meaningful than Mars.

After he read all the information he received, he became less interested in things on Mars. He threw the information aside and shelved it, and he began to make preparations for his travel plan again.

He had thought through the matter of Mars and put aside what happened on Mars. However, from the perspective of everyone at the Kyushu Space Agency and the upper management of Kyushu, everything that is happening on Mars now seems so... importance.

After all, before this, the understanding of Mars was only through some previous observations on the earth, and later through the Tianwen-1 and Zhurong.

But now that his plane is on board, Mars is clearly placed in front of Jiuzhou. There is such an opportunity, so Jiuzhou is so interested in Mars at this moment.

It is estimated that people will be paying more attention to Mars later, and after everyone calmly thinks about it, their opinions will be close to Li Zhenhua's.

But that's not the case for them at the moment. All their thoughts are still focused on Mars.

In the hall of the Jiuzhou Space Administration Command Center, all the people present were nervously staring at the progress bar on the screen. Especially when the progress bar was about to come to an end, these people became even more nervous.

Time passed by, and while everyone was staring nervously at the progress bar, the progress bar finally reached 100%. When the document was finally accepted, everyone at the scene cheered.

The reception was finally completed, and the people on the scene were finally able to see what happened on Mars again, and in their guess, what was transmitted back this time would definitely not be that simple.

Because after they arrive on Mars, except for some big things, the Snow Owls will not send back much. And what happens now? This is an event that has just received a volcanic eruption on Mars.

Could it be that something big is happening on Mars now? Is it something with the same level of importance as a volcanic eruption?

Just when everyone was extremely confused, the file was opened again, and it was the same video as before. Then Qvod, which has powerful decoding capabilities, was opened again. After some decoding, the video was played on the big screen in the command center. stand up.

The picture appeared on the big screen, and it was the same place where the volcano erupted last time. At first, nothing happened.

The subsequent development in the picture was beyond everyone's expectations, because the picture actually showed water being sprayed into the sky, and then the water flow became larger and larger, and finally formed a similar flash flood.

While everyone was lamenting what happened on Mars, the video finally finished playing.

The video had finished playing, but no one took their eyes away from the screen. Everyone was still looking at the big screen.

Because what is displayed on the screen at this moment is really some data collected by the Snow Owl after the water appeared. Of course, there is also the Snow Owl's speculation on the successive eruptions of volcanoes and flash floods. Finally, there is a water quality composition detection report data.

After understanding the last part of the water quality data, people at the scene were really confused. The meaning of it was self-evident.

Water, the source of life, actually has drinking water on Mars that can be simply filtered. This really caught everyone off guard.

However, after accepting this fact, the experts at the scene focused on the speculations given by Snow Owl and others. Although water is important, the speculations about everything that happened on Mars are even more important than water. .

After combining the data sent back twice, experts have developed their own understanding of Mars, and they increasingly believe that Snow Owl's speculation is correct.

This cycle of Mars appears is really a coincidence among coincidences.

But this cycle is not that important. Everything must be seen through the appearance to see the essence. The various things that appear on Mars are just the appearance of events in the eyes of experts. What is the essence?

The essence is the current state of Mars as seen by experts based on these known data.

In their eyes, Mars is no longer just the star they look up at at night, but has already come to them.

Through these data, we have drawn some new conclusions about Mars and other things.

The first is that the core of Mars has not been completely extinguished. Mars is still a dynamic planet. There is water on Mars, and the amount of water should be quite large!

The lava underground on Mars has always been active, but it's just not active enough...

After drawing these conclusions, some experts began to think about the future and muttered unconsciously.

"The conditions on Mars are really good. If the problem of Mars' magnetic field is solved, the ecology of Mars can be restored!"

It doesn't matter what he muttered. What matters is that he is an expert astrophysicist and listened to it.

"You old man, you have been thinking about all these things all day long, and you have also solved the problem of Mars' magnetic field. I think you haven't woken up! You actually had a sweet dream in broad daylight!"

The person who just muttered didn't show any reaction after being scolded by the people around him. In fact, he also understood that it was just some of his own fantasies about beautiful things.

"You old man, you eavesdropped on my speech. Besides, this is my own fantasy. When will my fantasy be yours?"

The two old men had been arguing for a lifetime, and they started arguing again in public. However, no one around them came to persuade them, but just stared at the two of them and watched the excitement.

After reading all the information, various experts are about to start follow-up research. The Kyushu Space Administration has become busy again. These studies this time have also given them a deeper understanding of Mars.

Li Zhenhua and everyone at the Jiuzhou Space Agency are busy with their own affairs, but there is a huge gap in their attention and attitude towards Mars.

The aerospace plane that was still on Mars, driven by Snow Owl and the others, began to fly around Mars again.

Many places on Mars that have been previously explored on Earth using space telescopes and Mars probes are on their next itinerary.

Everywhere they go, they will conduct the most rigorous data collection on the local environment from scratch. They also use this data phone to know that on Mars, when they were far apart, the distance between the two places was The environment between them is not only the same.

A mountain has four seasons, three miles are different, and ten miles are different skies. This saying that is widely circulated in Kyushu can also be used on Mars.

But compared to the Earth, the changes on Mars are much smaller. This is also determined by the characteristics of Mars.

For a large Mars, it is obviously impossible to visit all the places on the entire planet. Even if they want to do this, the materials they carry cannot support it. They do.

So this time they could only start observing the famous places on Mars that they knew before, and now they have just finished collecting data at a place on Mars.

The aerospace plane still stayed here, taking a short rest where it had just completed data collection, while the Snow Owl and others inside the plane were gathering together in the cockpit to discuss something.

"Boss, where should we go next?"

The Snowy Owl who was asked by the team members was currently staring at the map of Mars that they had detected and drawn on the screen in front of the cockpit in trance.

At this moment, they have marked many marks on the electronic map. Some places are marked with red circles, and some places are marked with other colors.

The circled places are exactly where they completed the collection on Mars during this period, and the color of the circle expresses the importance of that place.

The darker the circle, the more important it is. Some places have groundwater and some have mineral deposits. Anyway, they are classified based on the data they observed.

After hearing the team member's question, Snow Owl brought him out of his trance. When he came back to his senses, he walked to the screen.

He suddenly took his hand to the Antarctic region of the Mars map on the screen, pointed at the place on the map and spoke to many team members.

"Next let's go to the South Pole and see what the difference is between the South Pole on Mars and the South Pole on Earth!"

After his words fell, their subsequent itinerary was finally decided.

Now that the formation has been determined, they no longer stay here. The aerospace plane immediately rose to high altitude and flew towards the South Pole of Mars under their control.

In fact, their itinerary on Mars is actually quite planned. This is also determined by the supplies they carry. They must cherish every minute and every second on Mars.

Although the solar star energy core can provide a huge amount of energy, and water resources they have also found drinkable water on Mars, the condition that restricts them is food.
