Chapter 644 (1/2)

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.
