Do you know when the idea of establishing a colony on Mars came to the minds of mankind? When, on earth, there was no place for human habitation, one day he looked at this lifeless red planet and thought, hey, it's empty, it's just lying there. Why not go there? But this is not the next house, the mind wanted and left !! How much preparation, how much to do. Migrants will not be able to survive on Mars unless they make significant changes in their habits and even their structure. But, as it turned out, this change was not too difficult. Honestly, every detail was handled - except one. What can be done is that it is the natural fault of man.
Daptin is credited with handling everything so easily. At first everyone said adaptin, later the name became short daptin. The work of a daptin? Help us adapt.
I remember when they first explained everything to us, I was a 10 year old boy. I think they thought we would not understand anything before. But in fact, we already knew a lot. The day we landed on Mars, he told us everything openly.
‘You have come to your abode, children.’ This is how the head teacher started. We were then inside the dome of glassite; Arrived in the morning, which means what else, Tuesday morning. We were told that the head teacher would speak in front of us in the evening.
That evening he said in great detail - what, why, how? Gathered us in one place, put on a space suit, he said. Oh yes, he also had a helmet on his head. What's weird, isn't it? But what is the fault of the poor? Even if we had no problem with the temperature on Mars, he would freeze if he didn't have a suit. And the force of his voice, even if he brought his face close to his ears, no one could hear anything. And what about the wind? Impossible for her to breathe. Sometimes it takes Maya to be poor.
‘Kids,’ he said, ‘this is your home now. The name of this planet is Mars. You will stay here for the rest of your life. If you are a resident of Mars - Martian, the first Martian. You were on earth for the first five years of your life, and the next five years were in space. This time the dome will remain for the next ten years, until adulthood. Towards the end, however, he will be able to spend most of the day outside the dome. '
And when they reach adulthood, they will build their own houses, manage themselves. The family will do, the child will fill the planet with raw. They will be Martians just like you. ‘
"It's time to dump her and move on."
He said everything openly. He said that in 1975, people reached Mars for the first time. He sees an intelligent, lifeless planet. Although he saw some plants and insects, he did not notice the intelligent creatures. He realizes that this planet is still uninhabitable. He will not be able to survive on this planet without being inside the dome of glassite. Even if you go out, there is no speed without reading the suit. Because, even in hot weather, the temperature is too low for human survival, the air is insufficient to breathe. Even sunlight is harmful to it, because the ozone layer is not here like on Earth. If he eats the plants that grow on this planet, he will die of poisoning. So there is no speed without bringing food from the earth or growing it inside the dome.
Despite trying again and again for fifty years, success did not come. Apart from this dome built for us, there is only one other outpost on Mars. That too is made of glassite, not even a mile away.
At one time it seemed that mankind would probably not settle on any planet other than Earth. Because, being Mars, is the most suitable for living among all the planets. If it is not possible there, then no other planet can be imagined.
But about thirty years ago, in 2034, something happened that changed everyone's thinking. A brilliant biochemist, Weymouth, discovered daptin. A drug that will work on someone after a meal, regardless of the direction of childbirth in the allotted time.
People took this miracle medicine. Because, this medicine gave the successor of man, unimaginable ability to adapt to nature. Of course, this method of adaptation works slowly. But it works.
Dr. Weymouth conducted his first test on a pair of guinea pigs. He applied drugs on them. The pair later gave birth to five children. He conducted a remarkable study by keeping these five children in different adverse environments, and the results are also remarkable. As it turns out, adults live comfortably at a temperature of -40 degrees Fahrenheit. The other has no problem at 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Number three is different, digesting food that no other animal can eat. Number four is circulating in such a radiation that in one-tenth of it, its parents would have died and become ghosts! Subsequent research has further shown that the offspring of these few are born with the extraordinary ability of their predecessors to survive.
‘Ten years, exactly ten years from today,’ the head teacher told us, ‘you were born. We chose your parents very carefully. Your parents themselves agreed to this great purpose. We have raised you very carefully from birth. We have gradually faced a hostile environment. '
