Chapter 644
Although captain Qiu''s exploration and everyone including Wang Bin were somewhat disappointed, they were not too persistent. After all, it was a great surprise for them to find three substances that the earth did not have on Mars.
Finally, not long after Peng Ming''s simple aircraft takeoff and landing runway was completed, after nearly half a month or so, the support aircraft finally reached the orbit of Mars. After reaching the orbit of Mars, Phoenix I and space fighters did not make any stop. They immediately plunged into the atmosphere of Mars and were ready to land, while other types of aerospace aircraft, That is, those larger space planes did not enter the atmosphere.
After all, the runway on Mars is still a recommended runway at this time, and does not have the ability to withstand the takeoff and landing of large and super large aerospace aircraft.
However, fortunately, the aircraft fleet that came to support this time carried enough engineering construction personnel, relevant equipment and even some engineering construction materials, such as high-grade special cement. These cement not only have very strong strength, but also can be used in anaerobic or even vacuum environment.
Of course, because the aircraft''s volume and load capacity are still very limited, the quantity of these materials is actually very limited, only a few hundred tons. If you really want to establish a standard aircraft takeoff and landing runway on Mars, this is far from enough.
Therefore, these materials are not used to build aircraft take-off and landing runways, but to build the residence of ground personnel. After all, compared with ground runways, this is what ground personnel urgently need.
Because with the completion of the construction of the aircraft take-off and landing runway, their original phoenix-i aerospace aircraft will participate in the transportation of various materials together with other phoenix-i aerospace aircraft coming for support, including the transportation of various professionals from the spacecraft.
"Captain, our bricks have reached more than 1400 meters underground at this time! But even at this depth, we still haven''t found any traces of liquid water. Isn''t there any liquid water below?" a team member drilling with Peng Ming asked him with a bored face.
"Don''t worry! According to my experience and the data analysis of the spacecraft, there is definitely liquid below us, and there is more than 80% possibility that it is liquid water. In addition, there may be a layer of liquid methane above the liquid water." just before Peng Ming answered his words, another team member returned.
This team member is not the one who had been drilling with Peng Ming before, but the one who has just arrived on Mars for support. Compared with Peng Ming, they are not professionals in this field. Although the new team member is far inferior to Peng Ming in other aspects, he is an expert in drilling work. Therefore, after hearing the inquiry of a team member, Just go back to the road.
"But until now, we still haven''t found any traces of liquid water, but even if we haven''t found liquid water in this drilling, it''s not completely unproductive. After all, solid water Mars really exists, and there are still many, at least after treatment, it can meet the production and living needs of tens of millions of people," said another team member.
Yes, compared with liquid water and solid water, Peng Ming and others have already drilled, and there are still many.
At this time, a team member suddenly found the abnormality of the drilling machine, so he immediately said loudly in the communication instrument: "Captain, the drilling machine is abnormal. We seem to have drilled through the ice, and after the calculation of the load of the machine, there is not empty below, but there is liquid, which is likely to be the liquid water we are looking for?"
"No! This is definitely not liquid water. It should have drilled into the liquid methane layer. After all, according to the data, the depth we drilled at this time is less than the previous 500 meters, but according to the data, the minimum thickness of liquid water is also below 1600 meters underground.
At the same time, the previous data just show that there is a layer of liquid methane about 50 meters high 100 meters above the liquid water, so we should drill into the liquid methane, but now that we have reached the liquid methane layer.
Well, according to the data, we are not far away from the place where the liquid water exists. "After hearing the player''s words, Peng Ming was also excited. He immediately turned his head and looked at the equipment.
After hearing his words, the other team members were also very happy, and immediately raised the spirit of 12 points, and everyone worked harder.
Finally, after about ten minutes, they drilled into the ice again. However, compared with the previous ice, the hardness of the ice here is not so hard, but equivalent to that of ordinary ice.
This made the professional with sufficient experience very excited, and then said: "Captain, what we are drilling into now should be ice formed by pure water. It is not the same as before. Although it is ice, it is not formed by pure water. In addition, there are other substances, such as dry ice, soil and stone."
"That''s great. That means we''re about to reach the goal we want this time. Let''s work harder!" Peng Ming said.
However, just as Peng Ming''s words fell, the drill bit of the drill suddenly became fast.
"Captain! We succeeded, we successfully drilled into the liquid water of Mars!" at this time, the professional driller said.
The captain was also excited, but he didn''t get complacent, but immediately ordered! Immediately turn on the drill bit and the heating equipment inside the pipeline, start pumping underground liquid, and then check whether it is really liquid water. "
"It''s the captain!" with Peng Ming''s order, the team members immediately began to operate their equipment.
At the same time, there were fierce cheers on rig 2 not far from them. It was obvious that rig 2 had also reached the target area.
It is also the same with the No. 1 drilling rig and the No. 2 drilling rig. It starts to extract underground liquid immediately. Is it real liquid water.
Although the underground water they drilled was 16700 meters underground, they completed the heating of the drill bit and pipeline in less than 10 minutes, and successfully pumped up the underground liquid.
"What''s the situation? Are we drilling groundwater?" Peng Ming asked the tester immediately after the underground liquid was successfully extracted!
In fact, Peng Ming was worried at this time, because the color of the extracted underground liquid was wrong. You know, the water on the earth was colorless and transparent, but the extracted underground water was not colorless, but with a faint red. In the dark, they also found that there was a faint light in these liquids, This is zero Peng Ming. They are very worried. They are afraid that their efforts during this period will be in vain.
