On Earth, obtaining these hydrocarbons would be extremely easy.
Extracted from fossil fuels, or from biogas digesters...
In short, there are countless ways to obtain large quantities of hydrocarbons.
But these methods no longer work after leaving Earth.
There is no fossil fuel on Mars!
As for biogas digesters...
Mars City doesn't have enough organic waste to produce biogas right now!
After much deliberation, he decided to turn his attention to other planets.
"Zero, open the solar system star map for me and mark the position of Titan."
The hologram changes silently.
The relative positions of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Titan were instantly presented to Lü Yongchang.
"The relative position is good."
Upon seeing the holographic image, Lü Yongchang's eyes lit up: "Zero, call Fang Xu and the others."
"Next, we'll prepare to land on Titan!"
Titan, also known as Saturn's moon.
It is the largest of all Saturn's moons and the second largest moon in the solar system.
What makes it special is that it is the only satellite with a dense atmosphere, and its surface atmospheric pressure is even 1.5 times that of Earth!
(Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Enceladus, and Triton all have atmospheres, but their atmospheres are extremely thin.)
In addition, Titan's atmosphere has a very peculiar composition, consisting of 98.44% nitrogen and a large number of different kinds of hydrocarbons.
According to the exploration, Titan, with a surface temperature as low as -179 degrees Celsius, has a large number of oceans and lakes composed of hydrocarbons!
This is the reason why Lü Yongchang decided to land on Titan.
At that time, the collection vessel will even be able to directly extract large quantities of liquid hydrocarbons from the methane ocean on Titan's surface!
It's convenient and worry-free, even saving you the trouble of compressing gas.
In Lü Yongchang's view, there was no better deal than this!
