"It's really blue. This is the first time I've seen this blue sun!"

"It's weird!"

"Blue Sun!"

"555 It's dark night here, I can't see the sun, I want to see the blue sun!"

"Me too!"

...

Other landing astronauts who could see the sun also looked at the sky. When the sun was dazzling on Earth, they could not be viewed directly with their naked eyes. When they came to Mars, because the distance was farther away than the Earth, and through the filtering of the space suit helmet mirror, they could see directly.

From Mars, the sun is actually blue, not all blue, but the blue sun is still very attractive and cannot be seen on Earth.

"The atmosphere of Mars is thin, with more dust particles and larger, mainly Mir scattering, which is scattered red light with the same wavelength as the size of its own particles. The red part of the sunlight in the direction of sight is scattered, so the sun you see will be blue."

The scientists on the Zheng He who also obtained the image quickly analyzed the reason, that is, the dust particles in the atmosphere of Mars are many and large, which will scatter the red part of the sun's light, and will turn blue to everyone's naked eyes. This is the same as the principle of a rainbow on Earth, which is the scattering of light.

"Don't make a fuss, this is a matter of light scattering. In the future, don't make a fuss about any purple, green, or green sun you see when you go to other alien planets in the future, otherwise you will be careful of being called a rustic bun!"

"I thought there was something special. It turned out to be simple sunlight scattering, which made me so happy that I was in vain. I thought I had discovered a new continent!" The first person to find out that the sun was blue on Mars muttered.

"Haha, the climate of each planet is different. If we transform Mars and increase precipitation in the future, the atmospheric dust particles of Mars will return to the ground through rainfall, then Mars will have no difference from the Earth's sun!"

...

"Everyone hurry up and work. The weather on Mars is changing. Be careful not to leave the space shuttle too far!" Jiang Zhipeng smiled and watched everyone discuss the blue sun on Mars with each other. This kind of discovery of novel things, and then everyone studies this novel things together. It feels so wonderful to find the answer!

"Received!" "Received!"

On Mars, the Space Shuttle 1 is a large space shuttle, and the area in charge is a place where scientists speculate based on remote sensing satellite exploration, which should contain minerals. This area is named Area 1.

After the huge space shuttle landed slowly, its huge belly slowly opened, and special Mars landing vehicles were slowly used, followed by more than a dozen astronauts in space suits.

These Mars landing vehicles are also very huge. The huge tires crush the red rusty iron oxide gravel on Mars to crush the red and rusty iron oxide gravel on Mars. There are such dunes and gravel everywhere on Mars. Because of the oxidation, the entire surface of Mars is orange-red.

Barren, dry, cold, desert, and gravel make up everything on Mars now, and there are also the occasional super storms that blow, bringing up dust and gravel, galloping on the unstoppable surface of Mars, especially the new plains in the northern hemisphere of Mars. Great storms are really too common!

"Bang~~" Astronauts who had already started working drove the large machine to a place not too far from the space shuttle. The huge drilling machine began to work, and the high-mounted drill rig drilled down quickly. Even the hardest rock could not stop it.

The soil and rocks brought out were continuously loaded into standard small boxes by astronauts on the side, and labeled based on the current drilling depth, so that scientists can analyze the soil and obtain the distribution of underground resources.

You can also infer the age of Mars and the various history of Mars' experience based on soil and radioactive matter in rocks, including whether there was once life on Mars, whether Mars' underground contains a large amount of water resources, etc. To study the history of a planet, the deep soil is the best recorder, which contains all the mysteries of Mars.

Compared with the direct, simple and crude pile drilling and sampling in Area 1, the landing of the North and South Pole Crowns is not so easy. The Space Shuttle 5 is responsible for the exploration mission of the Antarctic Crown.

Compared with other areas, it is even colder here, reaching more than minus 120 degrees Celsius. In such cold weather, ordinary steel will be frozen as crisp as ice, and will break any movement.

Moreover, this is an ice layer, and the main component of ice is carbon dioxide, so the space shuttle in area 5 is a small space shuttle that does not carry large instruments and is not of great quality.

But even so, you still have to be careful when looking for a place to park. Land in a place with rocks. Be careful, the space shuttle is always on to ensure the temperature of the engine.

The astronauts responsible for exploration here are also careful. The shoes they wear are specially made, with special anti-slip designs, and the drilling tools are not rough tools like other areas.

A long wire connects the energy on the shuttle, and the other end is connected to a heated drill bit. The huge heat quickly melts the hard ice layer here, bringing fogs of fog, which is the already heated carbon dioxide and a small amount of water vapor.

Because the weather here is too cold, the drill bit needs to be pulled up from time to time. On the one hand, the soil and other things carried by the drill bit are collected and sampled, and on the other hand, it is to prevent the unheated places from being frozen.

The drill bit went up and down, and soon opened a hole in the hard ice layer, brought the deep soil, rocks, etc. up, and was collected by the astronauts beside them.

At the same time, the Zheng He, located in Mars space and scientists on Earth are always paying attention to drilling activities at 10 places. Many things can be analyzed through videos and images.

"This Mars is really barren enough! According to the soil and rocks dug out now, the resources of this Mars are not as good as the moon!" Scientists sighed that Mars is really a big guy, but there are very few resources, or the resources of Mars are too scattered to form large minerals like the Earth and the Moon, which is very troublesome to mine.

If you want to talk about the content, the content of various elements on a planet is definitely very huge. As for iron, the surface of Mars is full of gravel and soil with iron oxide, but these do not have the value of mining. It is better to go to the asteroid belt to directly pull a high-iron asteroid content.

"Cang~" In area 1, the machine responsible for drilling suddenly made a huge clanging sound. This is very unusual. You should know that this drill uses a variety of high-tech technologies.

The material of the drill bit is specially made in the material department, with a hardness of more than 300. After opening the edge, it is like cutting steel like cutting tofu. Even the hardest diamond in nature can be easily cut. Now I have encountered something that can block it.

"Everyone, I have a new discovery here, and there is something that can block the drill bit!" The astronaut in charge of the drill bit in Area 1 quickly passed the news to the command center.

"What is the drilling depth?" Jiang Zhipeng, who heard a new discovery, asked hurriedly.

“52 meters!”

"Send 10 large space shuttles to cross the area. You must find this kind of thing!" Jiang Zhipeng was so excited at this time. He knew too well that the materials that could block the drill bits were not much, not to mention nature, even artificial materials. This thing is too valuable for research.

If it is a product of nature, what will this product be? What is its function? The discovery of a new material has an unparalleled promotion to science and technology and industry.

If it is not a product of nature, but an artificial product, then it will be even more exciting!

No matter which situation is, it is very attractive. Even Liu Qingquan, who is far away on Earth, was alarmed and rushed to the Academy of Sciences to watch the excavation situation and want to see what it was!

Ten large space shuttles took off from the Zheng He and carried various large excavation machines, which could dig a mountain in a very short time, with a depth of only 53 meters, and there was no problem at all.

Ten space shuttles each found their own location and stopped, their huge belly opened, and large mining and mining machines began to work.

A huge excavator can directly grab more than ten tons of soil with one claw; a huge forklift continuously digs out a huge pit; a large soil transport vehicle continuously transports excess soil to the next place, where astronauts drive machines to constantly search for soil.

After more than an hour, the excavation depth was almost approaching the exploration area. At this time, all the digging soil was carefully filtered and inspected, and the suspicious objects were selected and packaged.

"This stone is more suspicious, pack it up!" The astronaut packed all the things he thought were suspicious. At this time, they were based on the principle of "it would rather kill it by mistake than let it go!" If it weren't for the fact that there was too much soil that scientists even wanted to bring everything back to space.

"There is a new discovery. Come and see what is this?" An astronaut looked at a corner of the black crystal exposed in the soil and shouted loudly.

Another astronaut next to him signaled him to set the machine, and then he walked over and slowly pulled it open with his hands. A black crystal as big as a watermelon was slowly exposed. The black crystal was very dark and there was no trace of reflection under the sunlight. Obviously, the light absorption effect was very good.

“I have new discoveries here too!”

"I found black crystals here!"
