Chapter 3 A Plan that Makes Humans Crazy

This is Mars in 2030.

Wu Siyuan lives alone on this planet.

According to past experience, he can stay in this world for another 2 years.

He doesn't need to worry about survival. The only thing he considers is, what can he gain in this world?

technology!

He quickly made clear his goal - to obtain the black technology in the world of "The Martian".

Especially aviation technology.

The series of technologies behind [manned landing on Mars and successful return] cannot be compared with the real world.

For humans to land on Mars, the safe technical route for humans to land on Mars should be as follows:

[Unmanned Landing Detection] - [Unmanned Sample Return] - [Manned Orbiting Detection] - [Manned Mars Landing].

In the real world, humankind's technological level can realize [unmanned landing detection on Mars]. Among them, only the United States has mastered the entry, deceleration, and landing technologies of Mars. It has successfully sent three generations of Mars rovers to the surface of Mars, and recently successfully sent Insight was safely delivered to the surface of Mars.

With the current level of human technology, Mars sample return and manned orbiting exploration can be achieved in the near future.

But if it is [manned Mars landing], it will not be easy.

For the [Manned Mars Landing Mission], to send astronauts to the surface of Mars and return safely to the ground, the following process is probably required:

[Ground-launched manned probe] - [Long-term ground fire transfer] - [Mars orbit capture] - [Mars landing] - [Take off from the surface of Mars] - [Enter the ring fire orbit] - [In the ring [Fire orbit and returner docking] - [Long-term fire to ground transfer] - [Earth orbit capture] - [Landing].

The above process involves many basic scientific and engineering technical issues. Humanity's current scientific and technological level is not yet capable of solving the problem of human landing. Small-scale Mars surface sampling return detection is already the greatest capability of humankind's current technological level.

But in the world of [The Martian], these problems have been solved.

Humanity, or the United States in this world, can already conduct scientific research operations on Mars landings on a regular basis.

The best thing is that these technologies are not very different from the technological level in the real world. At least they don’t make people in the real world think they are looking at [black technology]!

This means that people in the real world can absorb it in a very short time and successfully have the ability to [manned Mars landing].

And how much influence can Wu Siyuan gain from participating in it?

Wu Siyuan's eyes suddenly became extremely hot.

He originally thought this was just a boring time travel, but he also felt a strong interest in it.

But this creates another problem:

How does Wu Siyuan obtain this complete set of technologies?

It's not easy!

He's on Mars!

And technology is in the minds of people on Earth, which is 55 million kilometers away from Mars.

Wu Siyuan carefully recalled all the abilities he had mastered, and found that he did not have the ability to navigate in space.

The [Transformers] he entrusted with the important task do not have the ability to travel in space, even the combined [Base King Kong] is the same.

In the movie "Transformers", the "Transformers" also rely on some special "Transformers" to move between planets.

Wu Siyuan's artificial intelligence can't play any role in this regard!

If it were on Earth, artificial intelligence could invade any place with a network and sweep away all undefended or even fortified data.

But he's on Mars now!

A phone call from Earth to Mars takes at least 8 minutes.

Because it takes 4 minutes for the message to reach Mars, and, after receiving it, the reply message will also arrive, so it will take 8 minutes to exchange messages at once, but this only considers the most favorable situation where the Earth and Mars are on the same side of the sun, and the worst possible situation The situation is that Earth and Mars are separated on opposite sides of the sun,

It takes 4+8=20 minutes for Mars to send a message from the other side of the sun to the Earth.

This leaves artificial intelligence useless.

But Wu Siyuan can't go back to Earth, but he can attract people from Earth!

Wu Siyuan changed his mind.

The technology that leads Wu Siyuan in the real world does not necessarily exist in the brains of scientists, but also in the products they manufacture.

For example, the Hermes with its [ion engine], the ultra-thin flexible spacesuit Wu Siyuan is wearing now, the ultra-high conversion efficiency solar panels near the habitat module, and the ability to operate in harsh environments such as Mars. Environment, plastic film materials that persist for several months, etc.

Wu Siyuan took these products back to the real world for research and analysis, wouldn't there be a high chance of replicating them?

Of course, there are a lot of products such as space suits, solar panels, and plastic film materials near the habitat cabin, and Wu Siyuan can easily put them into the [Shennongjiao Space], uu reading

But the Hermes spacecraft, which contains the most advanced technology in the world, is now on its way to Earth.

Wu Siyuan had to find a way to lure this spaceship back.

It would be best to attract the attention of everyone on earth, so that it would be easier for him to operate later.

So, what should he do to attract the Hermes back?

Getting "The Martian" like in the original movie?

No!

Wu Siyuan feels that he can do something crazy!

If he builds a base or even a city on Mars that can survive for a long time, will the people on Earth in this world go crazy?

If you want to build a city on Mars, you will face many difficult problems.

One of them is how to build a stable shelter.

95% of the atmosphere on Mars is carbon dioxide, and the air is filled with poisonous gas. In addition, there is strong radiation on the surface of Mars. Exposure to this radiation environment for a long time will cause irreversible damage to the body.

However, there is a 5-meter-thick layer of material on the surface of Mars, known as regolith. These materials provide the same radiation shielding ability as the Earth's atmosphere.

If this material can be put to good use.

In mankind's original imagination, these substances will be processed into cement, and the layered walls created by robots and 3D printers will be a very good protective shell.

But the only flaw is that the equipment and chemical materials, robots and 3D printers used to process cement are currently not available on Mars.

But Wu Siyuan has a golden finger.

He remembered a certain magical plant from the world of "Beast Blood Boil".

He had almost forgotten about this product.

But the harsh environment of Mars reminded him of it.
