While everyone was waiting anxiously, new data came from the Mars large-scale orbital resource probe. After the data was sent back and analyzed by the central computer of the Dijiang, another Dijiang Captain Qiu and various professionals inside the Jiang spacecraft were ecstatic about the results.

That is, after analyzing the data scanned by the probe, the computer concluded that there is indeed liquid under the south pole of Mars.

Although, since human civilization began to explore Mars, in the past few decades, many scientists have firmly believed that there must be liquid water below the extremely low surface of Mars, and it is like the polar regions of the earth.

And based on the data at the time, it is inferred that the groundwater in the polar regions of Mars is likely to be hidden below 1.5 kilometers underground.

This caused a great commotion at the time.

The researchers at that time said that if liquid water really existed in the polar subsurface of Mars, then Coslight had the opportunity to prove the past and present of life on Mars.

At that time, many people were also skeptical about this. After all, with the technology of human civilization at that time, it was still very difficult to explore the underground several kilometers deep in the polar regions of Mars hundreds of millions of kilometers away.

Secondly, whether the underground liquid in the polar regions of Mars is really liquid water remains to be confirmed. After all, at such a low temperature, the underground liquid in the polar regions of Mars may be other substances, such as liquid methane, liquid carbon dioxide and so on.

And now, Captain Qiu's large-scale orbital resource probe has also detected traces of liquid in the underground of Mars, and the location is less than two kilometers away from Peng Ming's landing site.

According to the data obtained by the detector scan, the area covered by this underground lake not far from Peng Ming's landing point is not small, reaching a size of about 30 kilometers.

Of course, this is the area of ​​the entire underground lake including the ice cap above. If the ice cap above is removed, the area underground that is suspected to be covered by liquid water also has a size of nearly ten kilometers.

In addition, in addition to observing this underground lake, the detector also discovered the existence of multiple underground lakes nearby. However, compared with the underground lake closest to the landing point, the volume of other underground lakes Relatively much smaller.

The largest of them is only about five or six square kilometers in size, while the smallest is only two or three square kilometers in size.

In addition, the detector has scanned more underground lakes within a 300-kilometer area centered on the detector, the largest of which is even larger than the nearest underground lake to the landing point, at least there are Covering a hundred square kilometers.

With such a discovery, the scientists on the command center and the Dijiang spacecraft could not help themselves.

After all, in the past, humans on Earth basically launched small probes. Even some resource probes in the orbit of Mars were limited by their internal volume and launch weight. Therefore, the instruments and equipment inside the probes The performance is greatly limited, and it cannot be compared with the detector launched by the Dijiang.

And now, the probe launched by Dijiang has also discovered the existence of underground lakes in the polar regions of Mars. Then, it is certain that there is really liquid in the polar subsurface of Mars, and it is very likely to be liquid water.

However, there is another thing that everyone regrets, that is, according to the data, if the liquid in these underground lakes is really liquid water, the liquid water is not fresh water, but salty or very salty That kind, its salt content is very high, at least far more than the saltiest waters in the oceans on earth.

Therefore, if we only take the salt on the earth as an example, these underground lakes are not suitable for the survival of life.

But life is synonymous with miracles, so even if the water in these underground lakes on Mars is really very salty, it may not be lifeless. After all, even the most hostile craters in the oceans on Earth still have life. Not to mention just a salty environment.

In addition, compared with the data detected by the probes launched by human civilization before, the data detected this time is more accurate. For example, before, the Mars probe launched by human civilization , It was only detected that the underground lake closest to the landing point was covered with ice at least 1.5 kilometers thick.

However, the detector data launched by Dijiang this time show that the ice layer covering the underground lake is 1559 meters, which is still the thickness of the thinnest part. If the average thickness is calculated, the ice layer on the entire underground lake is at least Two kilometers of thick sole.

In addition, the depth of liquid water in this underground lake is also very deep. According to data, its deepest point is at least 15 kilometers deep. The Maria Trench is even deeper.

You know, this is not the largest underground lake they have discovered. Besides this, they also discovered a larger underground lake, but compared to this underground lake, the depth of the larger underground lake they discovered is deeper. The ice covering the top is thicker.

However, this is not a problem for the current human civilization. As long as it is discovered, humans will definitely have a way to mine it.

Also, since the probe has discovered a large number of underground lakes at the South Pole of Mars, does it mean that the situation at the North Pole of Mars is also possible. Like the South Pole, there are also many underground lakes under the ground?

 …

Just as everyone in the Dijiang and the command center was excitedly looking at the data sent back by the large resource probe in Mars orbit.

At this time, the Chinese people who are already on the aerospace plane at the landing point have also made preparations before landing, and everyone is chatting excitedly at this time.

"All personnel are asked to make final preparations before leaving the cabin. Everyone began to check with each other whether the spacesuits of their teammates are ready. You know, this is Mars, not Earth.

The temperature outside the aerospace plane has now reached more than minus one hundred and thirty degrees. Even after another two hours, the temperature will be at least minus one hundred degrees.

Once the spacesuit is not put on, I don't think I need to say much about the consequences.

So everyone must pay attention. In addition, everyone should pay attention not to leave too far from the aerospace plane. After all, the climate of Mars is very changeable, and the highest wind speed on Mars is also very fast. The wind power of the skeletal armored space suit can completely blow you into the sky.

Therefore, once you find that the situation is wrong, please return to the aerospace plane immediately. Although the shell armor of the aerospace plane may not be as good as the armor of the space fighter, it is completely sufficient to deal with the wind on Mars.

Most importantly, in order to prevent the strong wind of Mars from blowing away the plane, immediately after the plane landed, several huge drill bits protruded from its belly, and drilled deep into the ground to firmly fix the plane. in place.
