I have a little black hole

She happily stroked the green glass jar of the entire cabin with her hand, saying: "So our company's laboratory carefully selected several kinds of cyanobacteria with the most outstanding oxygen production capacity, and let them follow us to conduct experiments in space.

In this way, we can experiment with a longer period of time, longer distance, and more space environment to find out what kind of cyanobacteria can adapt to the complex and harsh 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 supplies. The oxygen alone from the earth must not be used for a long time. Yes, even if our company's carrying capacity is great!

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

Just by planting plants to get oxygen and food, then you can simply calculate how much planting space and breeding space we need to ensure our survival. Obviously, it is impossible for us to use this precious development space to do this in the early stage. !

Just like the cyanobacteria in this glass jar, it is called spiral cyanobacteria. It is a cyanobacteria that naturally grows in lakes and marshes in tropical regions. It can release oxygen more efficiently than grass and trees.

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

The cultivation method of this spiral cyanobacteria is very simple, as long as there is sufficient 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 nutrients necessary for the human body.In particular, the protein is very rich. In addition, the content of various vitamins, minerals and other nutrients is also very balanced.

It takes about 6 hours to double it, so it can be collected continuously every day.It can be used not only as a source of oxygen for humans, but also as a nutritional supplement, or for the manufacture of natural fertilizers or foods eaten by animals, with high utilization value.

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

Seeing this, many netizens began to sigh that it is not easy for humans to colonize alien planets. It is so troublesome to conduct interstellar colony on a planet closest to the earth, not to mention farther away.

In particular, many netizens from Lao Mei have started to complain that they have paid IQ taxes, because many of them have been cheated by space exploration companies and other companies that promote colonization on Mars!

Even Infinite Gravity Group needs so much preparation to dare to start the exploration of Mars colony. How can their companies brag about their Mars colonization plan?

Some of them paid the registration fee, and some even paid more up-front fees, but now it seems that the money is estimated to be floating.

Even if some people have already analyzed the situation they will face, they are still not very willing to believe it until the gravitational group's "Enlightened Guardian" Mars orbital space station has not announced the relevant situation.

Mars is at least 55 million kilometers away from Earth. According to the previous human space technology, it will take at least 7 months to get there.

"Mars One" company previously launched a "without going back" Mars immigration plan, intending to send the first batch of immigrants to Mars in 2023.At that time, this plan caused many professionals to question and was accused of being unreliable.

According to some data calculations, this plan can only allow humans to survive on Mars for 68 days. Therefore, this plan is sprayed by many people with incomplete skin.

A five-person research team used data from the "Mars One" space launch company to analyze the mathematical formulas of oxygen, food, and technology needed for human migration to Mars, completing a 35-page report.

In view of the conditions on Mars and the limitations of existing human technology, the "Mars One" company's immigration to Mars plan is impossible.

According to the report, if you really emigrate to Mars, the plants brought from the earth can only produce "unsafe" amounts of oxygen, and the oxygen content will begin to run out in about two months. "In about 68 days, the first death may occur ".

Researchers say that if humans are to settle on Mars for a long time, new technologies will be needed, "some form of life support system is needed, which is a technology that has not been developed in space flight."

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

Space exploration companies are also ambitiously planning to land on Mars, and launch colonial operations. In their company’s Mars colonization concept, the core part is the reusable rocket-spaceship combination. The company’s founder controls it It is called "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, and the Falcon 9 rocket is powered by the Merlin engine.

The thruster contains 42 Raptors, and it will be the most powerful rocket in history to date.The rocket can load 300 tons of materials and launch it into low-Earth orbit. If it is a consumable material, the load can reach 550 tons.

But even for a spaceship of this size, its load scale is only about one-twentieth of the Mars Orbiting Space Station of Infinite Gravity Group's "Guild Guard", and such a spaceship, the space exploration company actually thought To carry at least 100 people!

By comparison, we can see how unreliable this number is. There is no harm if there is no comparison. The space station assembly of such a large tonnage of the Infinite Gravity Group has a maximum of 16 astronauts. Prepare for survival to ensure their survival after Mars.

Even if it is calculated according to the maximum starting weight of 550 tons announced by Space Exploration Company, excluding fuel and other various materials, such as food, water, oxygen and other materials necessary for human survival, there can be more than 100 tons. ?

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

But how long can these materials allow these people who dream of colonizing Mars to survive on Mars after more than half a year of voyage?This number may not be much longer than the "Mars One" company.
