I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 432 Life must exist widely in the universe

When anti-gravity aircraft on Earth began to fly around.

Here on Mars, hundreds of millions of kilometers away.

In a basin on the Tharsis Plateau on Mars, the huge "Flying Star" spacecraft has been quietly parked here for several months.

According to the scheduled itinerary, it should have been on its way back to Earth.

The reason why we have not returned to Earth until now is because there was a major discovery on Mars.

"Teacher, this is incredible!"

"There is actually a lot of life on Mars."

"There are actually a large number of microbial communities beneath the Antarctic glaciers, and they have formed relatively large communities."

"If conditions on Mars can improve, such as if its magnetic field restarts, and it has the same environment as Earth, then it is entirely possible that Mars could become a planet of life."

Qiao Dan was carefully observing the latest sample data while talking to Li Yunfan.

"Based on the information from the samples we have obtained now, Mars was a thriving planet with life about 5 million years ago."

"But then the core of Mars gradually cooled and the magnetic field disappeared. Without the protection of the magnetic field, the solar wind directly blew away the atmosphere on Mars, and most of the water on Mars was also lost."

"What a pity! If it could have persisted until now, Mars would definitely have become our second home."

Li Yunfan sighed as he spoke.

This Mars scientific expedition was fruitful.

Comprehensive and in-depth research and exploration have been conducted on Mars.

Not only have a large number of rare resources been discovered on Mars, but several super-large gold mines have also been discovered, with reserves of hundreds of thousands of tons. Any one of them is much larger than the one on the moon.

In addition, the copper resources on Mars are extremely abundant, much richer than those on Earth and the Moon. The abundance is even a bit too much, and many large copper mines have been discovered.

Various other resources are also very abundant, including iron ore, aluminum, silver, titanium, rare earths, etc.

But it is too far away from the Earth, and it is not easy to mine the resources of Mars. The most important thing is to see whether it has economic value.

Take iron ore for example. The moon’s iron ore resources are extremely rich. Coupled with the iron ore on Earth itself, the price of iron ore has now plummeted. Mining iron ore from Mars is simply a loss-making business.

Even mining copper mines, which are more valuable, does not bring much profit. Only gold and silver mines are relatively worth mining.

But the initial investment is not a small number. After all, this is Mars, and everything has to be transported from Earth.

The only thing that does not need to be transported is water resources. Mars has abundant water resources. Ice layers have been discovered at the South Pole of Mars, which contain relatively rich water resources.

Now the Flying Star is using water from Antarctica.

"Venus is a bit like our Earth's past, and Mars is like our Earth's future."

"Once a planet's core cools down, it will quickly become a dead planet and lose its ability to support life."

Qiao Dan nodded solemnly and said.

"Buzz~buzz~"

At this moment, a shrill alarm sounded on the Flying Star.

"Another super hurricane is coming!"

"Enough with the hurricanes on Mars!"

When Qiao Dan heard this, he immediately complained helplessly.

Sure enough, the next moment, the radio started.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"A Category 30 hurricane will arrive in minutes. The ship is about to close all doors. Please be prepared."

After hearing the broadcast, everyone on the spacecraft was accustomed to it and made preparations quickly and in an orderly manner.

There are many hurricanes on Mars, and they are particularly strong.

Typhoons and hurricanes on Earth are generally considered quite severe if they reach level 12, and the few that can reach level 14 are quite terrifying.

But on Mars, Category 12 and Category 14 hurricanes are commonplace, little hurricanes, the unremarkable kind.

On Mars, any hurricane can reach level 17, 18, or even over 20.

Measured by speed, the wind speed of a Category 30 typhoon on Earth is more than 180 meters per second, while the speed of a hurricane on Mars can easily reach more than meters per second.

These are the hurricanes on Mars. They are extremely numerous and strong, causing a lot of trouble and considerable threats to the Mars scientific expedition team.

This is mainly because Mars is a dead planet with a thin atmosphere, a large temperature difference between day and night, and huge temperature differences in different regions. These factors are the main reasons why there are many and large hurricanes on Mars.

As the alarm sounded, everyone on the spaceship quickly returned to their bedrooms and waited quietly for the arrival of the hurricane.

"Teacher, when are we going back?" "I miss home a little bit."

Qiao Dan lay on the bed, looking out the window.

Mars is the opposite of Earth, with the sun rising in the west and setting in the east. Also, because there are so many suspended particles on Mars, hurricanes form terrible sandstorms, causing countless suspended particles to float in the air.

So much so that when you look at the sun from Mars, it is actually a strange blue sun, which is quite peculiar. This is mainly caused by the refraction and scattering of light by suspended particles.

"It's almost time to go back."

"It's been almost a year since I came out."

Li Yunfan calculated the time and said.

"This trip to Mars was really fruitful."

"We have discovered extraterrestrial life and studied the history of Mars. However, we have spent a little too long on Mars. I originally wanted to go to an asteroid and take some away."

"I really want to go to Ceres. There are a lot of water resources on Ceres, and there must be extraterrestrial life on it."

"Life on our planet is definitely from the universe. Some asteroids, comets, etc. brought primitive life to Earth, and then with the right environment and temperature, it slowly multiplied into a huge life system on Earth."

"Based on this, life should be widespread in the universe."

"Any planetary system like our solar system, as long as there is a planet that meets the requirements, should give rise to life and slowly become a planet with life."

"But why hasn't our Earth come into contact with other alien civilizations until now?"

Li Yunfan frowned and fell into deep thought. It was science to make reasonable inferences based on current knowledge.

Li Yunfan inferred that life should be widely present in the universe, and the Earth is definitely not the only planet with life in the universe.

Because if the Earth is the only one, that would be terrible, even more terrible than discovering extraterrestrial life.

"Could it be because we are too far apart from each other?"

"Even if we go to the nearest Centaurus galaxy, it's 4.3 light years away, let alone other planetary systems."

“In addition, even if life exists widely in the universe, it may not be able to develop to the same level of civilization as us humans.”

"It's hard to say whether life on most planets with life is still very primitive."

"In terms of the history of our planet, among the long billions of years, it was only in the last million years that advanced life forms such as humans began to emerge, and humans have only truly entered the stage of civilization for a few thousand years, or at most ten thousand years."

“The real technological breakthroughs and rapid progress of civilization will only come within the next one or two hundred years.”

Qiao Dan thought for a moment and said.

"Well, your analysis makes a lot of sense."

"Not to mention the differences between individual lives, even the differences between civilizations are huge."

"On our planet, developed countries are very advanced, while backward countries and regions are still at the primitive tribal stage."

"If we expand this to the universe, in the Milky Way galaxy, there may not be many civilizations that have reached the level of our Earth, and even fewer that have surpassed our Earth."

"Coupled with the vast interstellar barriers, this is the fundamental reason why we have not encountered extraterrestrial civilizations."

Li Yunfan expressed his support for Qiao Dan's analysis.

Just as the two were chatting, a violent hurricane arrived. The terrible wind was mixed with countless sand and dust. In an instant, the sky became dim, and the yellow dust rolled like the end of the world.

Fortunately, the location chosen by the Feixing spacecraft is inside a basin, surrounded by mountains on all sides, which poses no threat to the Feixing.

Hurricanes come quickly and go away quickly.

After the hurricane, everyone on the Flying Star became busy again. Small anti-gravity aircraft flew to various parts of Mars to collect more.

A few days later, the huge Feixing spacecraft slowly took off from Mars, flew into Martian space in the blink of an eye, and then flew around Mars several times before returning to the direction of Earth.

Everyone on the spaceship was extremely excited and happy.

It has been nearly a year since I came out, and I am finally going back to Earth.

At this moment, the longing for home can no longer be suppressed. Some people can't help but look out photos and videos of their families and watch them over and over again.

The Feixing spacecraft will then need to fly for nearly 30 more days before reaching the Earth.

And even if they arrive on Earth, they will not be able to meet their families right away. They will need physical observation and be isolated for a period of time to prevent uncontrollable consequences from bacteria, viruses, microorganisms, etc. brought back from Mars.

The journey home is extremely long, especially when it is accompanied by longing. Every day feels very long. Especially in space, where there is no distinction between day and night, many people's biological clocks are disrupted.

Li Yunfan, Qiao Dan and others seized the time to summarize the gains from the scientific expedition on Mars.

They have discovered extraterrestrial life, and at the same time they have concluded with great certainty that life is widely present in the universe!
