Where is the first simulated Mars base in China?

Does the simulated Mars base sound very tall? China is currently building this place to create a fantastic life experience area for extraterrestrial planets. The theme here is to explore and discover high-tech and extraterrestrial civilization. For those who like science fiction, you must not miss it. To satisfy your curiosity, I would like to share the address of the first simulated Mars base in China.

Where is the first simulated Mars base in China?

Hongya District, Dachaidan, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province

Personal interpretation of the simulated Mars base;

I still feel a little empty about this simulated Mars base. After all, it is only 400 million. What good things can you make? Now a set of ordinary commercial housing costs millions. Is it necessary to build dozens of houses?

The key to Mars is low pressure and low temperature. This kind of environment is best to go to the real Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Only in areas with severe cold and prone to severe altitude sickness can it have certain simulation value. What can you simulate now? Instead, it will mislead the masses.

I won't say much else, that is, if I still have that kind of hype and impetuous mentality regardless of the long term, I don't think it is necessary to simulate Mars, because environmental degradation will be more serious than Mars sooner or later.

These pictures are recent photos of the simulated Mars base in Hongya, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province.

On July 3, 2065438, the seminar on the overall scheme of China Mars Village (simulated Mars base) was successfully held in Delingha City, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. The overall scheme and design planning of Mars Village have finally been finalized, and the project will cost more than 400 million yuan in the early stage.

China Mars Village (Simulated Mars Base) project is located in Hongya, with a moderate distance from the surrounding developed natural landscape, close to the Gansu-Qinghai tourism ring road and convenient transportation.

With the development goal of "desert tourism+alien life experience" and the design concept of "science+sci-fi+nature+ecology+culture", this project is the only Mars scientific, technological and cultural creative leisure base in China.

Liu, director of the General Department of Lunar and Deep Space Exploration of China Academy of Sciences, who attended the meeting, introduced that the development goal of China Mars Village (simulated Mars base) is "desert tourism+alien life experience" and the design concept is "science+science fiction+nature+ecology+culture".

It is the only Mars science, technology, culture and creative leisure base in China, which is built on the Mars-like landform in the wild desert area. "Our original intention is to focus on the scientific and technological theme of space exploration, increase the scientific and technological connotation on the basis of traditional cultural tourism projects, and add new highlights to the development of cultural tourism industry." Liu said:

The main part of Mars Village consists of two functional areas: Mars community and Mars camp.

Mars community is a tourism cultural park with Mars as the main body, mainly for ordinary tourists; Mars camp is a highly simulated Mars residence base composed of multiple cabins, in which cabin experience activities are mainly aimed at high-end people with special needs.

Liu introduced that the basic functions of the project include five aspects, namely "4+ 1": in the initial stage, it will cover four aspects: desert tourism, life experience of space and extraterrestrial planets, astronomy and space science education, and film and television cultural activities.

In the future, we can further create and provide relevant scientific experimental conditions to serve research institutions and carry out scientific research and field experiments.

In terms of science communication, one-stop experience activities will meet the needs of young people in the fields of aerospace, astronomy, geography and new energy.

"Building a simulated Mars base is of great scientific and ecological significance. It can not only attract more people to explore and discover unknown planets, but also bring positive effects to tourism and even economic and social development in Haixi Prefecture. " Zhang Biao, executive vice mayor of Delingha City, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province, said.

The Mars Village project is located in Hongya, with a moderate distance from the surrounding developed natural landscape, close to the Gansu-Qinghai tourism ring road and convenient transportation. Follow-up planning will build the core route of "Purple Mountain Observatory Qinghai Observatory+Delingha Astronomical Science Museum+Two Lakes and One Site (Crook Lake, Tuosu Lake and Alien Site)+Xiaochaidan Lake+Mars Village+Dachaidan Lake" to form a "popular science".

2065438+August 8, 2007, the reporter learned from the General Department of Lunar and Deep Space Exploration of China Academy of Sciences that the first Mars simulation base project in China will be located in Hongya area, Dachaidan, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province, where there is a typical Ya Dan landform, and its unique topography, natural scenery and climatic conditions make it "the most Mars-like place in China" in the eyes of experts.

Haixi Prefecture has diverse geographical forms, magnificent natural scenery, mountains, lakes and other natural forms. The desertification area in Quanzhou is 95,000 square kilometers, accounting for 75.6% of the total desertification area in Qinghai Province. The vast Gobi is endless, with the largest and most typical Ya Dan landform group in China. The unique topography, natural scenery and climatic conditions are very similar to the surface of Mars. In addition, the good location conditions, rich tourism resources and strong tourism development trend on the west bank of the Yangtze River have created basic conditions and provided strong support for the implementation of the Mars simulation base project.

Liu, director of the General Department of Lunar and Deep Space Exploration of China Academy of Sciences, said that the China Mars Simulation Base project aims to build a creative experience base of Mars travel with "science+science fiction+nature+ecology+culture".

So what is the real landform on Mars?

Like fire

Mars is one of the nine planets in the solar system. From near to far from the sun, it is the fourth planet. Because the rocks, sand and sky on Mars are all red, to the naked eye, Mars is a striking lux planet, which is also the origin of its Chinese name.

In Chinese, the name of Mars is reminiscent of "fire" and heat, but in fact, this red planet is extremely cold and dry. Nevertheless, Mars is still the most similar planet to Earth in the solar system.

Gravel is everywhere.

In the past 30 years, the spacecraft showed us that Mars is a rocky, cold and barren land covered in a fuzzy pink sky. Scientists have found that Mars today once had a period of volcanic activity, a huge crater formed by meteor impact, and traces of instantaneous flood erosion.

Another strange thing about Mars is that unimaginable storms blow every year, and the wind speed is indescribable. The wind speed of big typhoons on the earth is more than 60 meters per second, while the wind speed on Mars is as high as 180 meters per second.

Great storms sometimes sweep the whole planet. Sandstorm on the surface of Mars is a unique phenomenon in the atmosphere of Mars, and Mars is covered with flying sand for14 of the year.

Low temperature and drought

The average temperature of Mars is minus 23 degrees Celsius. Due to the thin and dry atmosphere of Mars, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, which is much larger than that on the earth. Due to the low surface temperature and low air pressure on Mars, carbon dioxide and water in the atmosphere are almost saturated. As long as the temperature drops slightly, carbon dioxide and water vapor will condense.

There is little water in the atmosphere of Mars. Scientists estimate that if all the water ice on Mars melts into water, only an ocean with a depth of 10 meter can be formed on the surface of Mars. Compared with the vast ocean on the surface of our earth, the water on Mars is negligible.

Mars and the earth

Mars has many characteristics similar to that of the earth. It is 227.94 million kilometers away from the sun, about 1.5 times the distance between the sun and the earth. The angle between the rotation axis and the orbital plane is 24, which changes all the year round like the earth.

Mars rotates once more than half an hour than the earth, that is, 24 hours, 37 minutes and 22.6 seconds. So the length of day and night of Mars and Earth is basically the same, but the period of revolution around the sun is almost equal to two years for Mars.

In the past, people thought that Mars was a planet similar to the Earth. The four seasons changed, and the poles were covered with ice, which changed periodically.
