Mars is a barren Planet, but that does not mean it is completely "dead."
There are even glaciers in the North Pole of Mars. As it revolves, the North Pole receives gradually increasing sunlight, which can even lead to avalanches—avalanches mixed with ice, snow, and dust.
Of course, the site for this mission was carefully selected, so it certainly won't be affected by avalanches.
However, due to the thin atmosphere of Mars, its ability to defend against meteorites is greatly weakened. Besides that, there are unpredictable sandstorms and other factors that are very difficult to deal with.
"Regarding this, this colonial ship is not just a spaceship, it is also a building," Martinez continued.
After the colonial ship lands, it will quickly drive fixed anchors deep into the surface. These anchors can go 20 meters deep into the ground. Construction robots will use parts from the support ship to firmly nail the spaceship to the surface and build protective measures alongside it.
"But can the spaceship withstand a storm of this intensity?" the representative who raised their hand continued to ask.
Harry knew that it was time for him to raise his hand and explain: "The outer layer of the spaceship uses Osborn's latest material, a metal-carbyne-silicon complex. I happen to have some samples with me, and you can all take them back to study."
This thing was mined by Osborn on a stony asteroid. It is an alien material with very high hardness—harder than diamond, but with higher toughness.
Similar things are sold on the market, but just like Martian meteorites, they are priceless and unavailable.
Because it was mined from outer space, as long as there are enough samples, it is possible to analyze its manufacturing method in an alien materials laboratory by spending some time. That is why Harry has high hopes for asteroid mining; this material has a huge impact on technological development.
The representatives looked at each other after receiving the items—a new material harder than diamond but with toughness comparable to fiberglass sounded a bit too sci-fi.
"Alright, but can this thing withstand meteorites?" the representative asked after taking Harry's sample.
"Well, that's not necessarily true. After all, meteorites vary in size, so Osborn has also provided a meteorite defense system." Harry gave Martinez a look.
Martinez continued to play the holographic image.
This is a high-energy laser weapon, also reverse-engineered from Chitauri technology. Its average power exceeds 10 million watts. Each time it is used, the New Element reactor needs to be replaced, which is quite expensive.
The terrifying power of this weapon also shocked everyone present.
What is the concept of 10 million watts? Laser anti-missile systems require an average power of 1 million watts; this thing is 10 times that number!
Is this really not some kind of space warship weapon?
If anyone asked, Harry would answer: Yes, this is the first-generation space frigate weapon that is about to appear, it just happens to be very suitable for meteorite defense.
"Thanks to the technology provided by the Oscorp, if there are no questions, shall I continue?" Martinez looked around, and no one raised their hand again.
"Very well, then next is the food supply section. For this part, please ask the CNSA's..."
The meeting went over the overall colonization process, aiming to let everyone understand the full picture of the plan. After the first meeting, there will be a second and third meeting, which will likely take a few more days.
However, that is the business of the NASA Director; Harry only needs to attend the first day of the meeting.
Moreover, Osborn is only a participant in the Mars mission. When it comes to colonization, Harry actually has better options—the Nine Realms are about to be connected, and if he can find a way to travel through the Nine Realms, he can open his company in other realms.
Now he has to take a trip to Tanzania.
Before that, he wants to go to the prison to see how his old friend Ian Quinn is doing.
This former CEO of Quinn International has become a bit demoralized from being locked up—for such a long time, he hasn't even been able to see a person, at most just watching TV.
This is an old-fashioned prison, almost like a dungeon.
Just as he was staring at the ceiling in boredom, a person appeared in the shadow outside the door.
"Long time no see, Mr. Quinn. I hope you are satisfied with life here." After processing, Harry's voice sounded like a madman's—high-pitched and with a trembling feeling.
Quinn was very excited; this was the first time in months he had seen a living person—although the voice sounded a bit strange.
