At this moment he stood at the foot of Mount Olympus and looked up at this high mountain that seemed to break through the sky. If his vision was good enough, he might not even see the top of the mountain. No wonder he was shocked.

Because this Olympus mountain is the largest known volcano in the solar system, it is about 600 kilometers wide, and the height difference from the foot of the mountain to the top is 21.9 kilometers. What is the concept?

The most famous Mount Everest on the earth is only 8844.43 meters high, which means that the height of Mount Olympus is about the height of two and a half Mount Everest stacked together, if on Earth, the peaks are in the clouds. !

However, even on Mars, where the atmosphere is very thin, it is difficult to see its peak if vision is not good, although the slope of the entire volcano is very gentle (about 1 to 2.5 degrees near the top of the mountain, about 5 degrees outside).

However, its huge width and height make it impossible to see the full picture from the surface of Mars. For example, the top of the hill cannot be seen from the edge of the hill, and the edge of the hill cannot be seen from the top of the hill.In fact, other huge volcanoes on Mars have similar phenomena.

Lei Tiantang also wanted to have a full view of the whole picture from a higher angle after his emotions, so he flew into the air, and in just 2 seconds he flew to the height of about 500 high above the peak of Mount Olympus.

From this point of view, this volcano is also a very shocking picture, and the creation of nature is really powerful!

According to the data he has seen before, it can be clearly seen that its crater is composed of six overlapping depressions, which are about 80 kilometers long and about 60 kilometers wide, and the crater wall can be up to 3.2 kilometers.The edge of the mountain is a cliff up to 8 kilometers high, which is rare for other Martian volcanoes.

"Kuafu, did you say that the age of the formation of these volcanoes on Mars happened to be the time when the life of Mars was destroyed? More than 3 billion years ago, the originally vibrant Mars was destroyed by one or more of its size and mass. After the impact of the large meteorite, the entire Mars was directly destroyed.

It's like Mars' internal lava all spewed out from the other side of the impact and then formed these tall volcanoes, and it is this impact that destroyed the entire Martian core, resulting in a magnetic field that protects the entire planet All disappeared.

Only then did the necessary materials for life, such as air and water, first, the shock wave generated by the impact threw the planet, and the rest of the back was stripped by the solar wind. This may be the reason for the extinction of Mars."Staring at the two craters on the crater, Lei Tiantang told Kuafu his own conjecture.

"Maybe, this should be a more reliable guess. After all, according to the detection data, the age when Mars was struck was probably about 1 billion years old when the solar system was formed. At that time, although the solar system has formed a relatively stable celestial system, But at that time the number of various asteroids was still very large.

In particular, the position of Mars is too close to Jupiter. Those asteroids are easily affected by Jupiter’s gravitational force to change the flight path and hit Mars. Even the formation of the asteroid belt is related to this. Impact is also a normal thing.

The specific situation has to wait for our detection results. I believe that the satellite detectors and login detections we have launched this time can have an interesting harvest. Then we will be able to prove whether this is the reason!Kuafu also agrees with this conjecture in the communication system.

Of course, this is not the conjecture between the two of them. Scientists have not made such a conjecture, but the previous research was also based on simulation calculations. The real evidence has to wait for large-scale research on Mars. It can only be proved after field detection.

"That's right! I'm still doing something right! See if there is any speculated liquid water here!" Lei Tiantang nodded and said.

Anyway, when he looks at the landscape, he is looking at something new. There are so many stars and planets on the body of the little black hole that he hasn’t remembered how much he has swallowed. What kind of strange scenery hasn’t been seen?So he was almost surprised. He didn't forget what he wanted to do this time.

So he started to surround Olympus Mountain and began a detailed exploration of it while descending. When he detected the bottom of the mountain on the west side, he finally made an amazing discovery!

Here he discovered the existence of an underground lake about 700 meters deep from the surface of Mars!It was in a lava tunnel, a closed space. The area of ​​this underground lake is not particularly large, about 30,000 square meters, and the deepest place is about 29 meters.

But this discovery was enough to surprise Lei Tiantang. After discovering this place, he contacted Kuafu immediately.

"Haha! Sometimes I think I'm really God's favorite cub! I can't believe it was discovered so soon!

You quickly prepared the laboratory on the spaceship. I immediately brought the water collected from this underground lake to the experiment. Maybe I can really find the evidence of life from it!"

"Shit! That's when we calculated it by technology and guessed that there might be an underground lake there. You will only do such detailed inspections later. Okay? Or let you search the entire Mars by yourself to see how long it will take you To find it!

Hurry up and get back the sample. I have sorted it out in the laboratory. I was going to analyze the sample I just collected. Now it seems that it is more reliable to analyze the sample from you!"Kuafu didn't confess his face."

Because it just excavated some ice and some rocks from the underground near the spaceship to prepare for analysis in the laboratory. Of course, this kind of thing for others to do the wedding dress at the beginning of the experiment, he certainly has reason to be upset, even if this People are not their own boss.

"Go! Can your samples be as important as those in my hand? Wait, I will be back soon!" Lei Tiantang smiled and scolded.

In fact, Lei Tiantang in the entire underground lake has already used his own ability to detect it. There is no life that meets the standard life form. No matter whether it is a larger life or a life such as bacteria, he has not sensed it.

But he was also the first to do this kind of thing, and he was not sure that there was no life in the lake that he had not seen, so he still brought some samples back to the spacecraft and used the spacecraft laboratory equipment to test it again. Just look.

Maybe new life forms can be discovered?So Lei Tiantang collected a total of 2,000 samples of lake water from various places in this underground lake, and was prepared to take it back for detailed inspection.
