Is it true that the United Arab Emirates will build the largest "Mars City"?

The United Arab Emirates, a country in the Middle East, wants to build a "Mars City" to simulate the living conditions of Mars, which is said to be the largest in the world.

"Mars City" will be built in the desert near Dubai, covering an area of about 65.438+0.76 million square meters, with an estimated cost of 65.438+0.36 billion US dollars (about 900 million yuan).

There are many laboratories in "Mars City", where scientists will study life on Mars, such as how to ensure self-sufficiency in energy, food and water, and how to cultivate agriculture in an alien environment.

According to the design, these laboratories can adapt to the harsh climate of Mars and resist large-scale radiation and high temperature.

In addition, "Mars City" will also build a science museum to show the achievements of human exploration of space. The building materials of this museum wall are also very different, which are sand grains made by three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. UAE researchers believe that this material will become an important material for human construction on Mars.
