Before Chen Mo stood a basin-sized device.
The device had a strange design. Its hollow ring-shaped interior was filled with a transparent red liquid, and thumb-sized tubes surrounded it. At the center was a fan, with a large tube beneath it leading into the ring-shaped tubing.
This device was an oxygen generator.
Chen Mo used it to accelerate the conversion of Mars's Carbon Dioxide into oxygen and speed up the transformation of the Martian atmosphere.
The liquid in the tubes was a catalyst. It could capture Carbon Dioxide and Sulfur Dioxide from the air, making their molecular structures more active. Then, through electrolysis, it decomposed Carbon Dioxide into Carbon Element and oxygen.
"Run a test."
"Alright."
Mo Nv pressed the remote control, and the fan at the center of the oxygen generator began to spin.
Chen Mo had deliberately placed dry ice near the fan. He could clearly see its suction drawing the surrounding air into the ring-shaped tubes, while the liquid catalyst inside bubbled furiously.
Looking closely, he could see the bubbles gradually shrinking as they rose. Tiny bubbles, like those in cola, also clung to the inner walls of the tubes within the liquid catalyst.
Those tiny bubbles were the oxygen that had been separated out.
After a long while, Chen Mo could already see tiny black solids settling in the liquid. They were the extracted carbon powder.
"If this small oxygen generator operates continuously, it can produce one kilogram of oxygen per hour. At the same time, we only need to separate out the solids inside, and the catalyst can be reused. The solids are mainly elemental carbon and sulfur. After separation, washing, and processing, the carbon can be used as material for manufacturing diamonds, Graphene, and carbon nanotubes," Mo Nv said.
