Chapter 287: Life on Mars
When the super dust storm on Mars swept over Xuanwu 3, many staff members sitting in Xuanwu 3, although the sound insulation performance of Xuanwu 3 was very good, they could still hear the whistling wind and those in the storm. The sound of sand hitting Xuanwu 3. Fortunately, Xuanwu 3 has very strong armor.

Even though a super wind and sandstorm is blowing outside now, for Xuanwu 3, it is still firmly parked on the ground without even shaking. According to the data on Xuanwu 3 at this time, the super wind and sandstorm outside The wind speed has reached an unprecedented level of 21 super.

You must know that such a sandstorm is absolutely impossible to form on the earth, and only in an environment like Mars will there be such a super storm.

It was the super sandstorm that lasted for five days before the weather calmed down.

When the dust storm calmed down, although the dust in the sky was still very large, and even the sun could not be seen clearly, there was no big obstacle for the staff to detect Mars, so after the dust storm was over, the staff began to continue collecting Sample from Mars.

However, due to the rain, Mars, and dust storms, the original drilled holes had been re-buried by the sand and dust brought by the sandstorm, so we had to re-drill.

Moreover, although the sandstorm did not cause any damage to Xuanwu No. 3, the wind, sand and stones brought by the sandstorm have already submerged nearly half of the tall Xuanwu No. 3, so it is definitely impossible to collect in the original area. Re-select the location and start collecting.

So this time the staff on Xuanwu 3 set the collection location at 3000 meters away from where they are now.

After Xuanwu 3 recovered the fixed drill bit, it started the anti-gravity engine and came to a place 3000 meters away from their original position. After stopping, they started to do the work they had not completed before. All kinds of unmanned engineering machinery and equipment are also sincere. They resorted to Xuanwu 3 and began to re-explore the surrounding environment, collecting some special ores on Mars.

On the other hand, Xuanwu 3 restarted drilling and re-collected soil samples at different depths. The soil samples to be collected for exploring Mars are divided into more than a dozen samples of different depths.

"Turn the head to a depth of 110 meters and start collecting samples."

"Sample collection is complete, continue to drill down!"

As the work progressed in an orderly manner, various real-time data were sent back to the Pioneer, and then the Pioneer research ship sent it back to Earth using high-power quantum communication equipment.

However, since the place where they collected the samples this time was at the South Pole of Mars, when their drill bit was drilled below ten meters from the ground, the sample collected was no longer a soil sample, but a frozen soil sample drilled to the South Pole of Mars. layer.

Due to the extremely low temperature at the South Pole of Mars, although no samples of water resources on Mars have been collected yet, due to the extremely cold weather, these ice layers are composed of carbon dioxide.

However, as the drill bit continued to drill down, when the depth reached 1500 meters, the situation changed, because what was collected at this time was no longer dry ice composed of carbon dioxide, but actually ice formed by freezing water. After all, although the equipment on Xuanwu 3 is relatively simple, it is still possible to distinguish the difference between dry ice and ice.

This discovery is very exciting to the personnel on the Xuanwu 3 and the Pioneer research ship, because the existence of water resources means that there may be life on Mars. After all, water is not the source of life for nothing.

When the drill bit drilled to 2000 meters, the situation had a new change, because when the drill bit reached this depth, the turning head suddenly sank, and the experienced staff immediately judged the following situation, and Through the sensors of the drill bit, the staff on Xuanwu 3 discovered that the area they drilled into is no longer ice.

Instead, it drilled into the liquid layer. The staff in Xuanwu No. 3 immediately judged that the drill bit had drilled into the real liquid water resource area.

After all, they have encountered the liquid carbon dioxide layer as early as about 1000 meters, so theoretically there is no liquid carbon dioxide in this area. After all, according to previous data, although most of the core of Mars has solidified, it is not It is not completely cooled, so when the drill drills to a certain degree, the temperature becomes higher as it goes down, so at this depth, the speed has reached about zero degrees, so there is no liquid carbon dioxide at this temperature, so this liquid Most likely it was the water they were looking forward to.

However, although the staff on the Xuanwu 3 and the Pioneer research ship all judged that more than 90% of the water resources below are liquid water resources, after all, they have not collected samples for analysis, so they cannot make random guesses without evidence, so when they encountered this Situation: The staff on Xuanwu 3 immediately collected the liquid below.

After the samples were collected and analyzed, they were very excited. The liquid layer below was real water as they thought, and the existence of liquid water meant that there was a high possibility of life in this area.

If there is life on Mars, it would be a very important discovery for human beings, although a war broke out between the Ming Empire and the Ruhr people in the new area of ​​Pangu and wiped out the Ruhr people.

Let humans know that they are not alone in the universe, but if life is found on other planets in the solar system, then scientists can judge that the density of life in the universe is far beyond their imagination, then they can judge The number of intelligent life in the universe far exceeds previous assessments, so whether there is life on Mars is of great significance to the entire human race.

After all, compared with the earth, the environment of Mars is extremely harsh. If life exists under such extremely harsh conditions, then one can imagine how many intelligent life there are in the entire galaxy and the entire universe.

After the collection, turn your head and continue to go down. After all, the temperature in this area is still relatively low. Although there is a possibility of life, the temperature will definitely increase as you go down, and the possibility of life will definitely be higher.

As they turned their heads and continued to go down, the staff found that the depth of this area was beyond their imagination. The depth of the entire water layer has exceeded 3000 meters since it entered the water layer, and the temperature of the water in this area has reached It is about ten degrees above zero, which is very suitable for the survival of life.

At this time, the detector on the drill bit sensed the existence of light. This was a very surprising discovery for the staff on Xuanwu 3 and Pioneer. After all, they had never vented the existence of light before. You must know At this time, the depth of the drill bit has reached nearly [-] meters from the ground. If there is something emitting light at such a depth, the most likely thing is life.
