The Human Expedition is the second martian generator and the 13th generator that produces Ideas overall.
Description[]
"For the first time, humans travel to another planet. We are now officially an interplanetary species."
Design[]
The Human Expedition is modelled like a stylized rocket with with four fins. There are also some windows at one of the sides at the top where a cockpit could be located.
Upgrades[]
The Human Expedition has <number of upgrades> upgrades, increasing the generator efficiency with a <total multiplier>x multiplier.
Icon | Name | Description | Cost | Efficiency | Requires |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Deflection Shields | Mars has a thin atmosphere and exposure to radiation and solar flares is dangerous for our human explorers. We need protection in the form of shields to guard us. | 1.39 E19 | 15% | Human Expedition | |
Martian Mining | Mars has many volcanoes, and as a result, the planet is rich with compounds and minerals like copper, iron, nickel, lead, silver, bismuth, and many more. | 2.11 E19 | 50% | Human Expedition | |
Cyanobacteria | Cyanobacteria is necessary for soil adaptation and for the viable production of food, fuel, and oxygen. By cultivating these tiny organisms, we have opened up the potential for long-term life support on the Red Planet. | 2.64 E19 | 20% | Human Expedition | |
Resource Extraction Equipment | Mining isn't easy when you're the first people on the planet. We'll need drilling and extraction equipment if we're going to harvest the planet's abundant geological resources. | 3.17 E19 | 50% | Martian Mining | |
Microgravity Research | Time spent in space is hard on an astronaut's body. The effects of low gravity on bones is still being studied, and we'll need to know more before we begin sending astronauts on long interplanetary missions. | 6.60 E19 | 15% | Human Expedition | |
HAB | HAB is short for Habitation Module, a pressurized environment that offers protection from the sun, radiation, and dust storms. | 6.67 E19 | 25% | Deflection Shields | |
Biodome | The next step up from the HAB, biodomes are closed ecological systems. As more explorers land on Mars, this is where they will live. | 1.06 E20 | 30% | 3 Human Expedition HAB | |
Psychological Support | The first astronauts to land on Mars will have to psychilogically strong. Months of separation from their families back on Earth, and the isolation of space, can take their toll on the human psyche, and we'll need good support to keep these explorers mentally well. | 1.32 E20 | 50% | 6 Human Expedition | |
Propellant Production Plant | The sooner we can use the resources of Mars to create the fuel we need to send space shuttles between the Red Planet and Earth, the better. | 2.64 E21 | 15% | Resource Extraction Equipment |
