With the gradual "deterioration" of the Earth's ecosystem, it seems that many people have lost confidence in the maintenance of the Earth. Earth's climate upheavals have had enormous repercussions, and extreme climate change has led to the disappearance or extinction of more biological populations.
Therefore, many scientists have found that the earth is becoming more and more uninhabitable through various earth changes and the influence of climate and other factors. The scientific community has also appeared to "migrate to other celestial bodies".
Among the "migration to other celestial bodies", Mars has become the most representative celestial body. Develop it as a "second earth" for humanity. Although Mars is not suitable for habitation for the time being, Ouyang Ziyuan, who was once the chief scientist of China's lunar exploration project, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and known as the "father of Chang'e", said in an interview that transforming Mars is not a fantasy. It will take 200-300 years to transform Mars into a human "second Earth", after which humans may be able to live directly.
So, there seems to be hope. However, a piece of news about the "European-Russian joint exploration project found a lot of water in the Mars Grand Canyon" rekindled our "desire" for Mars, although Mars is temporarily in a state of desolation, and the atmosphere is dominated by carbon dioxide, as high as 95.3%, both thin and cold, the temperature difference between perihelion and aphelion is nearly 160 degrees Celsius, but this "water" problem may indeed help us "big busy", why say so? Let's take a look at this news first.
According to an announcement issued by the European Space Agency, the Agency's Mars exploration project jointly implemented with the Russian State Space Corporation (Roscosmos) through its Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) found that there was a large amount of water under the central area of the Martian Mariner Canyon. Here we must emphasize the problem that "there is a lot of water underground", which is not a "possible problem" here, so it is equivalent to a question of certainty.
This also means that while we see that there is no water source on the surface of Mars, there is water under it. It is said that the area of this watery belt is equivalent to the size of the entire Netherlands, and the land area of the Netherlands is 41528 square kilometers, which means that the groundwater area is as high as 41528 square kilometers, which is really a "large underground reservoir".
The researchers said that most of the water previously found on Mars was in the polar region, and this time it was possible to find a water-rich "oasis" below the surface of the earth near the equator, thanks to the high-resolution superheat neutron probe (FREND) on the trace gas orbiter.
It is initially understood that this water may exist in the form of ice or aqueous minerals. So, the emergence of this water is good news, and may be a very good thing for us humans to "move to Mars" in the future, and it will also help to find signs of possible habitable environment and life on Mars. Of course, the most critical point is to be able to "move to Mars", once the water source appears, it means that changing Mars is not a dream.
There is a large scale of carbon dioxide on Mars, and if we want to change the Martian atmosphere through plants, we need plant photosynthesis. There are basic conditions such as light and water on Mars, and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may be changed after changing the surface of Mars. Therefore, water has become the most critical link.
Of course, such a large underground reservoir means that if humans live on Mars, they can also use these water sources. So, water is a very good thing to do, whether it's from human migration or from changing the climatic conditions of Mars.
Therefore, the migration of humans to Mars is really promising, and the emergence of water sources is a "subversive" revolution. However, it will take time to just modify the conditions of Mars, and even if there is a water source, humans temporarily have the technology to move to Mars, and they will not be able to quickly inhabit Mars. We can only build a base that envelops the atmosphere first, and in the future, under the conditions of reaching the Martian atmosphere similar to Earth, we can really "open", otherwise it is not possible.
According to the situation of Ouyang Ziyuan, the "father of Chang'e", it takes 200-300 years to transform into a human "second earth", which means that it is basically impossible for our generation to see this scene, and human beings survive in more than 100 years, which is the known life limit of most people. Therefore, there is no way to wait so long, unless human beings can really continue to extend their lives.
Therefore, the discovery of a large amount of water in Martian water this time does give us hope for Martian colonization. However, in the short term, we have no way to live on Mars, at the same time, here the European-Russian joint exploration project found a large amount of water in the Mars Grand Canyon, and did not really "take out" the Martian water and other issues, this is limited to the discovery of the probe, this is the general situation, we can only continue to wait.
