Chapter 555 How to survive on Mars?

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ??

    Because the writing is hard science fiction, it must be scientific to a certain extent. Although it is impossible to make it watertight, Chen Yao still tries his best to make it bug-free and stops and considers it carefully every time he writes a paragraph.

    To survive on Mars, the first thing to solve is drinking water?

    ?? 70% of human body weight is water. No matter which planet we are on, we need water to maintain the operation of life.

    In the original "The Martian", water could only be obtained by burning hydrogen.

    In fact, scientists have discovered that Mars has water. There is a large amount of liquid water underground. There are also glaciers at the South Pole and North Pole of Mars. There is no need to bother burning hydrogen at all.

    When humans land on Mars, the first consideration when choosing a location must be water resources. Even if they don¡¯t land at the Antarctic or North Pole, they will choose a place with liquid water.

    Although the liquid water on Mars has a very high salt content, which is saltier than sea water on Earth, you can drink pure water through the desalination of sea water on the Mars rover.

    Having solved the problem of drinking water, the next step is how to solve the problem of food sources on Mars?

    There is a desert on Mars, an endless desert, and no living creatures can be seen at all. It can¡¯t be like some creatures that rely on eating soil to sustain life, right?

    In the book "The Martian" from his previous life, the protagonist grew potatoes and relied on eating potatoes to maintain his life.

    It is indeed possible to grow potatoes on Mars.

    There are enough sodium, magnesium, aluminum, phosphorus, calcium, iron and other elements in the soil of Mars. The only missing nitrogen can be replenished through the protagonist's urine and feces.

    So in theory, with water, air, and nutrients, it is entirely possible to grow potatoes.

    However, eating potatoes every day will not only be unpalatable but may lead to anorexia. Astronauts will also suffer from malnutrition. They will not starve to death, but they may develop some diseases related to malnutrition. It would be very scary if they fell ill on Mars.  things.

    So not only potatoes are grown, but vegetables are also grown.

    Astronauts on the International Space Station have tried to use the fresh food production system veggie to grow red lettuce.

    This system uses red, blue, and green light to help plants grow in a pillow-like bag with fertilizer and a moist environment. It can grow a variety of fresh vegetables.

    With water, food, and oxygen, there are three essential elements for human survival.

    On Mars, the oxygen content is extremely low, 95% is carbon dioxide.

    It is simply not enough for humans to breathe, and machines must be used to produce oxygen.

    Fortunately, there is water on Mars. By splitting water molecules into oxygen molecules and hydrogen atoms, the source of oxygen is also solved.

    With water, food, and oxygen, can we survive on Mars?

    Not yet.

    We also need to solve the problem of Mars temperature. Mars is very cold, with an average temperature of about minus 60 degrees and a temperature difference of 100 degrees Celsius between day and night.

    While Chen Yao was writing the book, he stopped and thought for a while, and came up with such a relatively scientific method.

    Using a radioactive isotope thermal generator, the heat generated by the decay of the artificial isotope plutonium-238 is used for heating.

    Okay, basically all the problems that the protagonist encounters when surviving on Mars have been solved.

    Chen Yao entered the text quickly, paying special attention to the characterization of the characters when writing. After all, this is a story, not a piece of popular science.

    The protagonist is an astronaut and a scientist himself. While ensuring that he keeps his inventory, he will not forget his scientific research work.

    ??Go out to collect Mars samples, return to the car to do research, and do live science popularization for audiences on earth.

    Well, it¡¯s impossible to actually broadcast it live. The shortest distance from Mars to the Earth is 55 million kilometers, and there is a significant delay in data transmission. Even so, it can still attract many viewers around the world.

    His bravery, self-confidence, and spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice can be very touching.

    Every fragment of his survival on Mars will be recorded and sent back to the earth, touching every Chinese and even every human being on earth.

    At the end of the story, there is a big question: Should the United States participate in the rescue operation?

    In the book "The Martian" that Chen Yao read, the United States asked China for assistance. In the end, China provided the Helios thruster, allowing the American spacecraft to rescue the protagonist from Mars.

    China has this kind of rescue spirit, but the United States does not necessarily have it. Even if it is willing to help, it will charge a huge fee.

    ??Besides, in that novel, the reason why the United States sought assistance from China was because of imprecise technology that led to launch failures.?.

    ¡° China¡¯s aerospace industry will be more rigorous and this situation will not happen. If you encounter problems, you still have to find solutions on your own.

    Therefore, in this book written by Chen Yao himself, the United States did not appear. It relied on the scientific and technological power of his country to rescue the astronauts.

    When astronaut Li Yongsheng returned to Earth and set foot on the land of China, the whole country rejoiced!

    This scene was broadcast live to the whole world, and tens of millions of people around the world cheered for him!

    The hero of the world and the pride of the nation!

    It took Chen Yaozhai a full week to write the book at home, and he finally finished the entire story.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????, ??is not very long, and it does not take too much energy and time to write.

    This book is called "The Martian", it would be more appropriate to call it "Live Broadcast to Survive Mars".

    The plot of the rescue part is very short. Most of the plot takes place on Mars. It tells how the protagonist survives on Mars through his own knowledge.

    From the plot, scientific rigor, characters, etc., it is very different from the original "The Martian".

    Therefore, after Chen Yao seriously considered it, he changed the title of the book to "Surviving Mars".

    The IP value of "Surviving Mars" can be very high. In addition to publishing physical books, it can also be used to shoot movies and animation games.

    Of course, just from publishing the physical book, the royalties will be considerable, and the next step is to submit it to a publishing house.

    By coincidence, the cell phone on the table rang, and the screen showed Lao Luo. It was not the one doing the live broadcast, but Lao Luo, the editor of the publishing house, whose real name was Luo Kun.

    Chen Yao immediately connected the phone and put it to his ear, and immediately heard Luo Kun's happy voice: "I heard that your new book is already being written, right?"

    Today, Chen Yao is already a well-known top science fiction writer in China, but since he finished writing "My Wandering Earth", there has been no follow-up.

    Luo Kun was worried about whether he would stop writing. A few days ago, he saw on his official account that he was preparing a new book, which made him very excited.

    Chen Yao responded with a smile: "Yes, it's done. I'm looking to find you to complete the publication."

    The two agreed on a meeting place, which was at a nearby milk tea shop.

    Chen Yao sorted out the manuscript, then printed it out with a printer, then got up and walked out of the house (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
