Chapter 152 (1/2)
After approaching Mars, endeavour conducted an all-round survey of Mars, and more accurate data were investigated. The autobiography cycle was 24.6229h, the revolution cycle was 629.62 days, and the surface gravity was 0.382g
With the data updated one by one, the speed of endeavour also slowed down, gradually captured by the gravity of Mars, and landed on the ground of Mars smoothly.
The surface of Mars is covered with sand. The land here is reddish brown, with an unspeakable beauty.
Endeavour landed at the north pole of Mars because the reflectance here is very high, which means that it is likely to contain water.
Water is the cradle of life. As long as there is water, everything is possible.
Click, the door of endeavour was opened. Yang Lili came out first in her spacesuit. After coming out, she excitedly pointed to a distance and said, ”you see, as expected, there is really water on Mars!”
Water is actually ice. After all, the temperature in the Arctic is too cold.
When endeavour explored Mars, it also sent unmanned exploration instruments to two Mars satellites to collect data.
A car equipped with a mechanical arm drove down from endeavour. Its purpose was to collect samples. After the car came down, a drill bit was added to the mechanical arm and drilled towards the specified place. After drilling five meters deep, the lower sample was taken.
Not only underground, but also some rock samples on the surface have been collected, as well as ice.
After the collection, everyone boarded endeavour. After strict anti-virus, they entered endeavour and then went to other areas of Mars.
A week has passed since the samples were collected in each area. Through these samples, Yang Lili and her team have a further understanding of Mars.
However, the results somewhat disappointed them. It was really that Mars was too barren and the mineral content was pitifully low. On the whole, there were not as many mineral resources on the moon, which was unbelievable.
Yang Lili read the report, frowned and said, ”maybe the minerals on Mars are buried deep underground. We still need to explore further.”
”Captain, good news.” a man ran over with joy on his face and said out of breath, ”what do you think I found in the collected ice?”
”You look like you found life!” Yang Lili guessed.
”Yes, it's life. The captain is really powerful. He guessed right at once. At the beginning, I was very surprised to find these microorganisms through the microscope.”
”At that time, I couldn't confirm that these microorganisms were still alive. After I melted the ice, I found that some of them began to swim slowly. I haven't seen these microorganisms on the water polo, and they definitely don't belong to any microorganisms on the water polo.”
”The most important thing is that there are some multicellular microorganisms in these microorganisms. We can analyze that these microorganisms are evolving. If they are given hundreds of thousands of years, they may also evolve into large organisms to adapt to the Martian environment!”
It is very possible that although the current Martian environment is not suitable for human survival at all, the fittest survive through natural selection. Maybe these microorganisms will continue to evolve in the future, and the eventually evolved organisms can survive well on Mars.
Of course, it will take a long time, very long.
