554 How to survive on Mars?

Because I write hard science fiction, I must have a certain degree of scientificity. Although it is impossible to be free of water, Chen Yao still tries to be free of bugs. He stops and considers carefully every time he writes a paragraph.

The first thing to solve in survival on Mars is drinking water?

70% of the weight of human body is water. No matter which planet it is on, it needs water to maintain the operation of life.

It turns out that in the book "Mars Rescue", water can only be obtained by burning hydrogen.

In fact, scientists have discovered that Mars has moisture, and there is a large amount of liquid water underground. There are also glaciers in the Antarctic and Arctic of Mars, so there is no need to burn hydrogen at all.

When humans log on to Mars, the first thing they consider when choosing a location is water resources. Even if they do not land in the Antarctic or the North Pole, they will choose a place with liquid water.

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

After solving the problem of drinking water, the next step is how to solve the problem of food source on Mars?

There is a desert on Mars, an endless desert. You can’t see the existence of creatures at all. You can’t rely on eating soil to maintain your life like some creatures, right?

In the previous life, the protagonist planted potatoes and maintained his life by eating potatoes.

Potatoes can indeed be grown on Mars.

In the soil components of Mars, there are enough sodium, magnesium, aluminum, phosphorus, calcium, iron and other elements. The only lack of nitrogen can be supplemented by the protagonist's urine and defecation.

So theoretically, with water, air, and nutrients, it is entirely possible to plant potatoes.

However, eating potatoes every day will not only cause anorexia, but also cause malnutrition, astronauts will also be malnourished and will not starve to death, but they may be replaced with some malnutritional diseases. If they fall ill on Mars, it will be very terrible.

So not only grow potatoes, but also vegetables.

Astronauts on the International Space Station have tried it, using 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, and it can grow a variety of fresh vegetables.

With moisture and food, oxygen is still missing, and the three essential elements of human survival.

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

If humans are not breathing enough, they must use machines to produce oxygen.

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

With moisture, food, can oxygen survive on Mars?

Not OK.

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

While writing a book, Chen Yao stopped and thought for a long time, and thought of such a relatively scientific method.

Use a radioisotope thermal generator to use the heat generated by the decay of the artificial isotope plutonium-238 to keep warm.

Well, the various problems encountered by the protagonist in survival on Mars have basically been found.

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

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

Go out to collect Mars samples, return to the car to do research, and provide popular science live broadcasts for audiences on Earth.

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

His courage, confidence and fearlessness 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 on earth.

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

The book "Marl Rescue" that Chen Yao had read, the United States asked China for assistance, and finally China provided the Sun God 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 seeks China's assistance was because of its intricacies in technology that led to the failure of launch.

China's aerospace industry will be more rigorous, and this will not happen. When encountering problems, you still have to find a solution by yourself.

Therefore, the book written by Chen Yao himself, without the United States, was all relied on the technological power of his own country to rescue the astronauts.

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

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

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

It took a full week to write a book at home and finally finished the whole story.

The one who went to physical books was published, which was not very long and did not take too much energy and time to write.

This book says it is "Martian Rescue", which is more suitable than calling it "Live Streaming Mars Survival".

The plot of the rescue part is very short, and most of the plot takes place on Mars, writing about how the protagonist stocks up on Mars through his own knowledge.

The plot, scientific rigor, characters, etc. are very different from the original book "Martian Rescue".

Therefore, after Chen Yao thought carefully, the title of the book was changed, called "Survival on Mars".

The IP value of "Survival of Mars" can be very valuable. In addition to physical books, it can also shoot movies and animation games.

Of course, the royalties of physical books alone will be quite considerable, and the next step is to submit the publisher.

It happened that the ringtone of the cell phone placed on the table rang, and the screen showed Lao Luo, not the one who brought goods live, but Lao Luo, the editor of the publisher, and his real name was Luo Kun.

Chen Yao immediately connected and put it in his ears, and immediately heard Luo Kun’s happy voice: “I heard you, are you writing your new book right?”

Today, Chen Yao is already a famous top science fiction writer in China, but since he finished writing "My Wandering Earth", there is no more text.

Luo Kun was worried about whether he would stop writing from now on. He was very excited when he saw him preparing a new book on his official account a few days ago.

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

The two agreed to meet at the 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...
Chapter completed!
