The artificial biology of the United States circle technology is indeed not to be underestimated.

There is no problem with the design of the entire life support unit, and it can even be said that the design is quite perfect.

From the air circulation system to the water filtration system and the automatic irrigation device in the planting area, each resource can be used to the maximum efficiency, basically one foot on the boundary between science and fantasy.

Even on the side of the entire life support unit, a circular interface of about three meters in diameter was reserved, presumably for the purpose of expanding the size of the colony.

Just as Space-X and NASA show their ambitions in the Ares program, they are serious about building a new Virginia-based colony of 100-person size and using a rich methane and carbon dioxide resource on Mars to achieve an artificial and closed The self-circulation of the ecological system.

To say the only problem, or the only place where Lu Zhou, an ecological layman, can pick out the problem, is probably that the Ares plan is too rushed, and it just happens to encounter a global dust storm that doesn’t know how long it will last. ……

Natural disasters accounted for 70%, and human factors accounted for 30% at most. NASA really fell down this time.

If it weren’t for the sudden arrival of the dust storm, perhaps the new Virginia colonists might really stand on Mars. Once the geothermal well and methane resource collection points are successfully deployed, even if a global sandstorm occurs, the solar power generation device will not work, and other functional means can be used to end the dust storm.

Of course, these are all after the horse.

After downloading all the data in the life support unit, Lu Zhou unlocked the life-sustaining unit’s sample library with a small amount of energy and the door to the sample library corridor.

The alloy door embedded in the wall of the experimental area slowly opened, and the air with high carbon dioxide concentration was immediately poured into the experimental area. If there is a living person inside, it may already feel difficulty breathing.

But for the “reptiles”, it is just a breeze.

Passing through the dusty corridor, the flexible little guy quickly moved to the sample library, and rows of neatly placed sample shelves were presented in front of the camera.

According to the label attached to the sample rack, the rock sample in each area around the new Virginia colony is stored here, and the coordinates and depth of the sample are recorded by numbers and letter labels.

Although these astronauts who went to Mars were nominally called “colonists,” in fact, their daily missions were mainly based on scientific investigations.

And these valuable samples are one of their scientific research results.

“It seems that there is no channel directly connected to the sample library in the experimental area… It is a pity that I can’t take these things away.” Looking at the sample displayed here, Lu Zhou sitting next to the terminal looked regrettable.

If you can bring these samples back to Earth, human understanding of Mars will certainly rise to a new level.

Regrettably, however, the situation at the time did not allow the colonists to bring all of these valuable samples to the return capsule, so that these things can only be abandoned here.

Xiao AI : [Master, Do you want to start the scanner? 0.0]

Lu Zhou nodded said, “Well, start it.”

After waiting quietly for five or six minutes, the rover waiting for the sample library moved to the first row of the sample rack, and a part of the searchlight was slowly found from the top.

As the light of the blue is slowly released from the conical opening, the sample displayed on the shelf is covered in turn.

According to the information carried by the reflected beam, under the processing of the special algorithm, a series of physics information such as the content of each rock element, the size of the particle, and the like are fed back to the control terminal in front of Lu Zhou.

Not only that, but according to the location and depth of the sample taken by each rock sample, the data is quickly mapped to the corresponding area in the map.

In less than a dozen minutes, a circular resource map with a diameter of about 10-20 kilometers makes it easy for those data to be presented in front of Lu Zhou.

Looking at this resource map, Lu Zhou’s face suddenly appeared to be interested.

The data that was originally able to get the life support unit has already been earned. I didn’t expect to get such an unexpected gain from this life support unit!

According to the data in this picture, there are at least two volcanic craters that intermittently eject methane gas near the site of New Virginia, and a suspected underground ice layer in a shallow area!

Although as early as 19’s 3 month, ESA’s Mars Express detector has found traces of liquid water under the Martian Antarctic ice sheet. Earlier NASA also announced the discovery of perchlorate in craters. Thesis of brine components, but these resources with extreme conditions and uneven distribution are clearly difficult to use directly.

If you can identify a subterranean ice layer with sufficient reserves and relatively shallow depth, the help for future colonization of Mars is undoubtedly huge!

“… It seems that the information that NASA actually has about Mars is far more than what they have published and thesis.”

Staring at the area marked with suspected underground ice, Lu Zhou pondered for a moment and reached out and tapped the keyboard twice to mark the area.

Didn’t need to be on time, Xiao AI immediately understood what he meant.

Xiao AI : [Master, need to explore this area? (obb)o☆]

Lu Zhou nodded said: “Well, wait until the vestige of the new Virginia colonial station is over, let the reptiles go around here. If you find the underground ice, report it to me immediately.”

Xiao AI: [Follow! ()

Finally, witnessing the honor of the life support unit and NASA’s black technology, Lu Zhou’s curiosity is also satisfied.

The rest of the work, even without him staring, Xiao AI can also perform his orders perfectly.

After ordering Xiao AI to try to save the original appearance of the life support unit, Lu Zhou copied the data in the terminal to a mobile hard disk, then took the mobile hard disk through the access control of the underground laboratory and took the elevator back to the main building of the higher research institute. The first floor.

After taking out the phone from his pocket, Lu Zhou turned on the address book for a while and quickly broadcast a number.

The phone rang twice and was immediately connected.

There was a bit of tiredness in the husky, coming from the other side of the phone.

“Hey?”

Lu Zhou: “Is it a Hu Professor?”

When he heard Lu Zhou’s voice, Hu Yang snorted a little and immediately started talking.

“Yes… are you a Foundation Professor?”

“Yes, I am Lu Zhou,” paused for a moment, and Lu Zhou continued to ask, “Where are you now?”

“I am at the Space Research Institute of the Beijing Academy of Sciences… Is there anything?”

“Yes,” there was not much chilling. Lu Zhou went straight to the topic in a concise manner. “If you have time, please take a look at the Nanjing Institute of Advanced Studies. I have a phone call that is inconvenient to say. Hand it over to you.

For a moment, Hu Professor held his breath.

With a hint of uncertainty in his excitement, he trembled and asked: “…related to the fire plan?”

It seems to respond to his expectations.

Lu Zhou’s next sentence, in his eyes, instantly revived the exhilarating look.

“Yes, it’s related to the fire plan!”
