Chapter 1050

"So our lab has carefully selected several cyanobacteria with the best oxygen production capacity and asked them to follow us in space," she said.

In this way, we can test what kind of cyanobacteria can adapt to the complex and harsh space environment through longer time, longer distance and more space environment.

If we want to survive and work on Mars for a long time in the future, oxygen, which is necessary for our survival, must have a variety of stable and continuous supply. It is certainly not enough to rely on the oxygen brought from the earth for a long time, even if the carrying capacity of our company is no longer large!

After all, we will have to find a way to be self-sufficient on Mars for a long time in the future. Not only do we astronauts need oxygen, but also we need to consume a lot of oxygen and food resources in the related experiments of breeding animals.

Just rely on planting plants to get oxygen and food, then you can simply calculate how much planting space and breeding space are needed to ensure our survival. It is obviously impossible for us to use such valuable development space in the initial stage!

Take the cyanobacteria in this glass jar. It's called spiral cyanobacteria. It's a kind of cyanobacteria that grows naturally in tropical lakes. It can release oxygen more effectively than grass and trees.

As long as it is cultured in 6 liters of medium, it can produce the oxygen that a person needs for a day.

As long as there is enough light, the water temperature is kept at about 30 ° C, people often exhale carbon dioxide to it, and regularly add some nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and trace elements.

What is more striking is that it is rich in essential nutrients for the human body. In particular, protein is very rich, in addition, a variety of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are also very balanced.

It takes about six hours to double it, so you can collect it every day. It can not only be used as a source of oxygen supply for human beings, but also as a nutritional supplement, or as a natural fertilizer or food eaten by animals.

In the future, we will also select some cyanobacteria which are more suitable for space and Mars environment for large-scale cultivation to support our various needs on Mars! "

Seeing this, many netizens began to lament that it's not easy for human beings to colonize alien planets. It's so troublesome to colonize the nearest planet, not to mention further places.

, especially many netizens from the US, began to make complaints about IQ taxes, because many of them were cheated by space exploration companies and other companies that wanted to go to Mars.

Even the infinite gravitation group needs so much preparation. How dare their companies boast about their Mars colonization plan since they dare to start Mars colonization exploration?

Some of them paid the registration fee, and some even paid more upfront fees. But now it seems that the money is wasted.

Even if someone has analyzed the situation they will face before, they are still reluctant to believe it until the infinity group's Mars orbiting space station, Mars Mars Mars orbiting space station, has not released relevant information.

Mars is at least 55 million kilometers away from the earth. According to the previous space technology, it will take at least seven months to get there.

"Mars one" company previously launched a "no return" Mars immigration program, the first batch of immigrants to Mars in 2023. At that time, many professionals questioned the plan and was accused of being unreliable.

Because according to some data, the project can only survive on Mars for 68 days. Therefore, many people spray the project to pieces.

Using data from Mars-1, a team of five researchers analyzed the mathematical formulas for oxygen, food and technology needed for human migration to Mars, and completed a 35 page report.

In view of the conditions on Mars and the limitation of existing human technology, it is impossible for "Mars 1" company to immigrate to Mars.

If you do migrate to Mars, plants brought from earth can only produce "unsafe" amounts of oxygen, which will begin to run out in about two months, "the first death may occur in about 68 days," the report said.

If humans are to settle on Mars for a long time, new technologies are needed, "some form of life support system, a technology not yet developed in space flight," the researchers said.

In addition, transporting spare parts from earth to Mars is also a challenge, which will increase the cost of immigration to Mars.

And space exploration companies are also ambitious plans to land on Mars and launch colonial operations. The core part of their Mars colonial vision is a reusable rocket spacecraft combination, which the company's founders call "interstellar transportation system.".

Both the thruster and the spacecraft are powered by SpaceX's Raptor engine, which is still under development. According to their published data, it will be three times stronger than the Merlin engine, which is used to drive the Falcon 9 rocket.The thruster, which contains 42 raptors, will be the most powerful rocket in history so far. When the rocket is launched, it can carry 300 tons of materials and send it into low earth orbit. If it is consumable materials, the load can reach 550 tons.

But even for a spaceship of this size, its loading capacity is only about one twentieth of that of the Mars orbiting space station of the infinity gravitation group, and the space exploration company wants to carry at least 100 people!

By comparison, we can see how unreliable this number is. Without comparison, there will be no harm. Such a large tonnage space station assembly of infinite gravity group will carry 16 astronauts at most. There are various safety and survival preparations to ensure their survival after they arrive at Mars.

Even if the maximum starting weight of 550 tons announced by the space exploration company is calculated, excluding fuel and other materials, such as food, water, oxygen and other materials, can there be more than 100 tons?

According to this amount, the average person can only allocate one ton of such survival materials at most. It seems that each of these materials can still be used for a period of time.

But after more than half a year's voyage, how long can these people who dream of colonizing Mars survive on Mars? This number may not be much longer than Mars one.
