When the Foundation and even the four continents began to focus on the biological crisis plane, in reality, the official website of Blacklight Technology also announced a new announcement on this day -
Blacklight Technology has been preparing for three full years, and the "Ares Project" with an investment of 50 billion US dollars is about to begin.
The so-called Ares is the name of the god of war in ancient Greek mythology. He is one of the twelve main gods of Olympus and symbolizes strength and war.
Among the corresponding stars, Ares corresponds to Mars among the eight planets, so the "Ares Project" is also called the "Mars Scientific Research and Colonization Plan", and the plan content is:
Send humans to Mars within two years, establish a Mars scientific research station, and establish a permanent human colony on the surface of Mars within five years.
As for why Blacklight Technology chose Mars
In addition to the nine planets in the solar system, there are also a large number of satellites. For example, Jupiter and Saturn have several satellites orbiting them, and the largest of these satellites even exceeds the size of some of the nine planets.
Even in the Kuiper Belt surrounding the solar system, there are several dwarf planets hidden in the darkness.
But among these planets, the only one with the closest environment to Earth is Mars.
Because Mercury is too close to the sun, the temperature can reach 427 degrees during the day and minus 173 degrees Celsius at night. Under such a strong temperature difference, humans have directly ruled out the possibility of building a base here.
Venus is the planet closest to the earth besides the moon. However, Venus is actually a hell star like Mercury. Its atmospheric pressure is at least 90 times that of the earth, and its surface temperature is as high as 470 degrees Celsius. Basically, There are no differences between regions, seasons, day and night.
As for Jupiter and Saturn, both are gaseous planets, not to mention that Jupiter's satellite Europa is also too cold, which is not conducive to human reproduction.
Among all the alternatives, only Mars has the most optimistic conditions for survival. Although its diameter is only half of the Earth and its mass is only 11% of the Earth, its area is equivalent to the total land area of the Earth, and its surface gravity is that of the moon. 2.5 times of the Earth and two-fifths of the Earth.
The density of Mars' atmosphere is only one percent that of Earth's, but it can still create a greenhouse effect. The average temperature of Mars is about minus 55 degrees Celsius, and it can be close to the normal temperature of Earth during the day in summer.
Among so many harsh choices, if the shorter ones are taller, Mars is indeed the most ideal colonizing planet for humans.
At this time, a group of people who followed the official website of Blacklight Technology immediately saw this announcement.
As the most influential technology company in the world and the first company to bring mankind into the "era of lifespan escape" and "the era of bionic transformation", Blacklight Technology has gained tens of thousands of fans, and countless people are interested in Blacklight Technology. There is almost an obsessive trust, just like the original "Fruit Fan".
And this kind of trust is not a hothead, but the credibility that Blacklight Technology has forged with its world-changing technologies.
From the aging reversal treatment project, an epoch-making technology that subverts the laws of human life, aging, illness and death, to the black light vaccine that saves hundreds of millions of people, from hundreds of anti-cancer drugs to Alzheimer's disease drugs... black light technology has almost made an impact in the field of biomedicine. Monopolize the entire Earth Federation!
Therefore, many scientists like to hang out on the official website of Blacklight Technology, where thousands of scientific researchers communicate and discuss every day. In addition, Blacklight Technology intends to provide a venue for scientists from all over the world to manage the forum. It was so well organized that the forum of Blacklight Technology eventually became almost a holy place for exchanges among scientists around the world.
On the homepage of Blacklight Technology’s official website, there are six major sections, namely:
The six major sections of the biopharmaceutical section, the bionic medical section, the service and security section, the electronic technology section, the mineral resources section and the military and aerospace section are respectively replaced by six colors: green, white, gray, yellow, black and blue, making it clear at a glance.
At this time, a big red exclamation mark appeared on the interface representing the military and aerospace sector.
The moment this exclamation point appeared, countless people quickly clicked in.
Suddenly, a video of only about five minutes popped up, and above the video there was a line of bold and bold titles:
Ares Project—Mars scientific research and colonization plan officially launched!
As the video started, a spacecraft with a fusiform hull and two huge twin-nozzle engines on both sides appeared in the video. The spacecraft was glowing with silver and looked as beautiful as a work of art. Beautiful.
And it is the spacecraft - 'Ares', which is responsible for transporting humans to Mars in the Ares project.
But this scene only lasted for a moment. At the same time, a deep and solemn male voice slowly came out:
"Humanity has existed for millions of years since its birth, and it has also imagined for millions of years."
"In ancient times, whenever human beings looked at the stars, they would always wonder what the stars and moon were, whether they were gods or landforms, and what stories there were on them... "
"So, there was Chang'e flying to the moon, there was the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and there were also countless myths and legends... "
As the voice narrated, the picture of the video also changed little by little, and various mythological illustrations continued to interact, like a series of touching stories...
"The exploration of extraterrestrial planets began in the 16th century. The initial observation methods could only use simple telescopes. It was not until the 1960s that humans landed on the moon for the first time... "
Suddenly, a man wearing medieval aristocratic clothing appeared in the video. He was polishing his lenses in the night. However, as he was grinding, he suddenly stopped, then slowly raised his head, and pointed the lenses at the moon outside the window. There was a drunken look on his face...
What followed was a deep and solemn piano sound. The sound contained the weight of history and seemed to describe a starting point.
"Every time humans put their footprints into deep space, it represents a milestone in the history of spaceflight..."
The video screen flashed to the scene of mankind's first rocket launch and the first manned moon landing. Several scenes echoed each other. Although the picture quality was rough and even only black and white, from these videos , everyone seems to see the trajectory of history.
"But there has never been a day when humans have been so close to other extraterrestrial planets..."
As the male voice in the background changed his words, the piano sound began to take a big turn, as if a stone had been dropped on the originally calm lake surface, and ripples began to appear.
Immediately, the shuttle-shaped spaceship that appeared in the opening video began to appear in the video. It was glowing with silver light, and rows of data also appeared next to the spacecraft.
"Ares: 52.3 meters long, 21.1 meters wide, 15.5 meters high, and weighs 780 tons. The spacecraft has 4 engines and is powered by two nuclear engines."
"The interior of the spacecraft is divided into three levels, including the bridge, medical bay, laboratory and six living rooms, and can carry sixteen passengers."
"In addition, the spacecraft can also carry about 200 tons of cargo and about 20 tons of fuel... "
Immediately, the screen began to show the scene of the Ares spacecraft taking off, and the bottom of the huge reactor engines on both sides of the spacecraft began to emit four bright blue lights.
Driven by this huge force, the spacecraft began to rise slowly and gradually accelerated...
This scene was synthesized by computer, but it was so exquisite that if you didn't watch it with confidence, you might even think it was all real.
"We are starting a new era. From where you and I stand, an exclamation point is drawn on the dividing mark of the era, because from today on, mankind will officially enter the era of space migration..."
The trombone sounded loudly, mixed with the sound of human progress, and even the male voice in the background began to rise high!
"From today on, the title of human beings will officially jump from 'planet natives' to 'interstellar inhabitants'!"
"From today on, when we call the earth, it is no longer 'the only home of mankind', but 'the birthplace of human civilization'!"
"From today on, we have opened a new chapter for mankind. Join us, and Blacklight Technology will lead each of us into the annals of future history!"
As the torrent of BGM came, the video also came to an end, and then gradually became low again and slowly faded away.
In the end, there was only a low, long chirping sound in the background of the video, as if the sound was lingering.
At the end of the video, there is only a line of huge white words on a completely black screen - the Ares Project colonist registration event will officially start on July 1, 2028!
Within an hour of the release of this video, Blacklight Technology's visit traffic exploded from about 100,000 visits per hour to tens of millions. Even the website's server was about to go down because it could not withstand so much traffic!
At the same time, this video was also reposted by major websites, spreading the news to the world.

Immediately, the entire human society was in an uproar!
As early as two years ago, Blacklight Technology used rocket technology to successfully send a manned spacecraft to the moon, becoming the third force to send humans to the moon after North America and Beihai in the last century. It was also the first private company to send humans to the moon.
To this end, the Earth Federation approved Blacklight Technology’s application as an encouragement, making Blacklight Technology the first company in the world to qualify for space colonization.
However, Chen Chen was obviously not satisfied with this. In the next two years, Blacklight Technology frequently sent rockets to space and the moon, and established the first lunar international scientific research station on the moon for scientists and researchers from all continents around the world. Adventurers travel to the moon to conduct scientific research.
Nowadays, there are about fifty scientific researchers stationed on the moon all year round, and Black Light Technology needs to send a spacecraft to the scientific research station to deliver supplies to this group of people every six months.
The reason why black light technology can travel between space and the earth so easily is not purely a matter of burning money, nor is it the simple "spacecraft launch and recovery" technology of SpaceX, but thanks to the "inertial confinement fusion engine" " appears.
This is a nuclear reactor that can fuse fuel and convert it into energy using only lasers. After being miniaturized, it has become an engine with the thrust of a nuclear explosion.
Chen Chen had previously used an "inertial confinement fusion reactor" to charge a USB flash drive, but in fact the power generation capacity of this reactor was inferior to that of the "super tokamak reactor".
However, the manufacturing process of the "Super Tokamak Reactor" was too difficult, so Chen Chen simply took out the technology and gave it to the Four Continents Region. After Blacklight Technology and the Four Continents Region's multi-faceted cooperation, it took three years to finally This technology has been restored and will soon enter the commercial stage.
The "inertial confinement fusion reactor" is more suitable to serve as the engine of the spacecraft, allowing the spacecraft to travel to planets that were once out of reach at a very small cost and launch exploration of the unknown.
Just as Chen Chen once predicted - when the nuclear fusion reactor is successful, it will be the day when human beings evolve into a multi-planetary species.
As a result, Blacklight Technology privately conducted time-consuming and labor-intensive research and optimization on the "inertial confinement fusion reactor" to finally form the engine of the Ares spacecraft today.
The "inertial confinement fusion engine" is like a smaller version of the "inertial confinement fusion reactor". In a sphere made of room-temperature superconducting material, small balls formed by mixing deuterium and tritium are injected into the reaction chamber, and then 2 million The energy of Joule is ignited by focusing 192 electron beams onto deuterium and tritium pellets with a diameter of a few tenths of a millimeter. Each laser emission lasts for about three billionths of a second, triggering intense high temperature and high pressure, thereby producing a nuclear fusion reaction. Powered by spacecraft engines.
According to data obtained from the Ares spacecraft engine experiment, the exhaust speed of the spacecraft thruster can reach 7% of the speed of light in vacuum, and can accelerate about 500 tons of payload to a maximum speed of 38,600,000 meters per second, which is close to the speed of sublight. .
What the engine has to do is to explode 250 nuclear fuel balls of about 0.001 grams per second, and continue...
But after all, it was too abrupt. Blacklight Technology did not announce the existence of the inertial confinement fusion engine. He only claimed that the Als used nuclear engine technology and was preparing to lead humans to Mars for the first time to establish a scientific research station, which caused a tsunami-like response. exclaimed.
As for the questions raised by countless people on the Internet about 'nuclear engine technology', Blacklight Technology has remained silent and has not mentioned it at all.
If today's black light technology doesn't want to speak, no one in the world can force it to speak...
