The English name of Mars was Mars. Mars was one of the eight planets in the solar system. It had two small natural satellites, Phobos and Deimos. Its gravity was two-fifth of Earth's, and its diameter was equivalent to Earth's radius. Its surface area was only one-fourth of Earth's, and its volume was only 15% of Earth's. Its mass was only 11% of Earth's. On September 18th, 1955, the National Geography Society and the Lowell Observatory reported that an area on Mars the size of Texas had turned green, further supporting the theory of life outside Earth.
Shi Zhongcheng's first plan for the Mars Transformation Project was to heat up Mars by extracting helium-3 from the lunar soil to create a clean nuclear power plant. Then, the nuclear power plant would generate high heat to raise the temperature of designated areas on Mars. To release the air and water beneath the frozen surface.
The second plan of the Mars Transformation Plan is an asteroid impact
Many asteroids in space were made of frozen nitrogen, which was an important greenhouse gas. Zubelin's plan was to let an asteroid with a diameter of about 2.5 kilometers hit Mars. The huge energy generated by the impact would melt 1 trillion tons of ice on Mars into water, and the nitrogen released after the asteroid hit would also greatly heat up Mars. He estimated that 40 such impacts would make Mars habitable. However, to realize this plan, they had to find 40 suitable stars and install them with rocket boosters. Then, one by one, they hit the sparks. Such a plan would cost a lot of money, and it was unknown if the destructive power would damage the Martian environment!
The third plan for Mars modification is to create greenhouse gases.
Artificial greenhouse gas production on Mars was considered the most feasible solution. Like many scientists, Shi Zhongcheng believed that carbon dioxide was the most effective greenhouse gas. He planned to build several chemical plants on Mars to continuously produce carbon dioxide. Mars was closer to the sun, so it could make better use of solar energy and build large-scale solar power stations.
The first step after modifying Mars is to release the atmosphere
Mars only had a thin atmosphere, but three billion years ago, the surface of Mars was surrounded by a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere. As Mars cooled, most of the carbon dioxide was absorbed by the soil and frozen. When humans completed the first step of modifying Mars, the warm climate would release this carbon dioxide. Shi Zhongcheng believed," Using geothermal or solar power plants to emit high-power light, the carbon dioxide released from the soil can raise the temperature of Mars by another 30 ° C in five years. At this time, some ice will start to melt into water, and the water will start to evaporate, forming weather phenomena such as rain and snow.”According to this development, the surface of Mars would have 0.9 atmosphere of carbon dioxide.
The second step after modifying Mars was to plant plants.
With the continuous release of carbon dioxide from the soil, the atmospheric pressure on Mars would reach 1.05 atmosphere, which was equivalent to the atmospheric pressure on Earth. Most of it was carbon dioxide. At this time, Martians could walk outdoors without wearing spacesuits. Of course, they also needed oxygen bags. Ordinary planes could take off and land on Mars; People built a large building with a dome as large as the moon.
After the lunar base was completed, Shi Zhongcheng and NASA used the first and third plans as blueprints for the transformation. This time, NASA organized an expedition of 50 million Youngsters, piloting huge spaceships and more construction robots. There was also a large amount of food, water, nuclear materials extracted from the lunar soil, and other supplies heading to Mars. As soon as they arrived on Mars, they began to build many nuclear power plants and solar power stations. At the same time, a portion of the Youngsters and construction robots began to build a large domed city that covered an area of 30 million square kilometers.
Shi Zhongcheng continued to prepare for the second batch of Younglings on Earth. At the same time, he started to build a second spaceship that could accommodate 50 million Younglings and 500 construction robots.
Shi Zhongcheng was working hard for the future of mankind and the Youngsters, but he did not know that Earth was about to face a huge crisis! (Please continue to pay attention to chapter 14 for more exciting stories.)
