The first discovery of water on the surface of Mars by humans

Mars (English: Mars; Latin: Martis; astronomical symbol: ♂）， It is the fourth closest planet to the sun and the second smallest planet in the solar system after Mercury, making it one of the four terrestrial planets in the solar system. In ancient Europe, Mars was called "Mars", and in ancient Roman mythology, the "God of War" was also known as the "Red Planet". In ancient Chinese, it was called "Yingfu" because it was as bright as fire, and its position and brightness often changed. Its orange red appearance is due to the surface being covered by hematite (iron oxide). Mars has a diameter about half that of Earth, and its axis of rotation has a similar inclination and rotation period to Earth, but its revolution period is twice that of Earth. Mars has a maximum brightness of -2.9 degrees, but is darker than Jupiter for most of the time. The Martian atmosphere is mainly composed of carbon dioxide (95.3%), which is both thin and cold, covered in impact craters, canyons, sand dunes, and gravel, without stable liquid water. The southern hemisphere is an ancient highland filled with impact craters, while the northern hemisphere is a younger lowland plain. The largest volcano on Mars - Olympus Mountain and the largest canyon - Mariner Canyon. Mars has two natural moons: Phobos and Phobos, which are irregularly shaped and may be captured asteroids. Based on observational evidence, a phenomenon similar to groundwater gushing has been observed on Mars, with a partial retreat of the Antarctic ice cap. Radar data shows a large amount of water ice beneath the surface at both poles and mid latitudes. Mars has four orbiting probes launched by NASA and Europe, namely the Odyssey, Mars Express, Mars Global Surveyor, and MAVEN Mars probe. There are also multiple American Mars rovers on the surface, such as Curiosity, Insight, and the Mars Pathfinder, Phoenix, Spirit, and Opportunity that have completed their missions. On May 15, 2021, the scientific research team confirmed based on the telemetry signal sent back by the "Zhurong" Mars rover that the "Tianwen 1" landing inspector successfully landed in the pre-selected landing area, marking the successful completion of China's first Mars exploration mission.

The first discovery of water on the surface of Mars by humans

In this fictional historical event, the first discovery of water on the surface of Mars by humans is changed by the key factor that the water found on Mars is not just ordinary water, but a mysterious liquid with extraordinary properties. This discovery leads to a series of scientific breakthroughs and a new space race among nations to harness the potential of this enigmatic substance.

2035

The first manned mission to Mars, led by an international team of scientists, lands on the Martian surface. They begin exploring the planet's terrain, searching for signs of water.

2037

After months of meticulous investigation, the team discovers a hidden cave system beneath the surface. Inside, they find not just water, but a peculiar liquid that emits a faint glow and has unusual properties.

2038

Scientists analyze the mysterious liquid and find that it has incredible healing and regenerative properties. It can accelerate the healing of wounds and even reverse some degenerative diseases. The news spreads worldwide, sparking immense excitement and interest in space exploration.

2040

Nations across the globe initiate ambitious missions to Mars to study and harness the extraordinary liquid. The new space race is fueled by the hope of finding solutions to age-old medical problems and revolutionizing healthcare.

2045

The first Martian research base is established, dedicated to studying the liquid's properties and potential applications. Scientists conduct experiments to understand its composition and how it interacts with human biology.

2050

Breakthroughs in understanding the liquid's molecular structure lead to the development of advanced medical treatments. It becomes a vital component in regenerative medicine, allowing the regeneration of damaged tissues and organs.

2055

The liquid's unique properties also prove beneficial for space exploration. It can be used as a powerful coolant, increasing the efficiency of spacecraft and enabling longer missions to distant planets.

2060

As the demand for the liquid grows, Mars becomes a center for mining and extraction operations. Entire cities are established on the Martian surface, housing thousands of scientists, engineers, and workers.

2070

The liquid is now an integral part of everyday life on Earth. It is used not only in medicine but also in various industries, including energy production and agriculture. The Martian colonies continue to thrive as research and development efforts expand.

2100

The liquid's potential is fully realized, leading to groundbreaking advancements in human longevity. With the liquid's regenerative properties, the average human lifespan increases significantly, and age-related diseases become a thing of the past.

2150

Mars becomes a fully self-sustaining colony, with a diverse population and a flourishing economy. Interplanetary travel becomes more accessible, and humans begin to explore and colonize other celestial bodies within the solar system.
