The Return of the Black Technology of Immortal World
305 Rain from Mars
Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye it’s been another two years.
Two years may not seem like a long time, but for Mars, earth-shaking changes have taken place.
From the time the first asteroid fell on Mars, one or two asteroids fell on Mars every month thereafter.
Over the past two years, a total of thirty-one asteroids have merged with Mars.
Mars seems to be back in ancient times, when the solar system was just born.
At that time, not only were meteorites of varying sizes falling at any time, but the planet that had not yet begun to cool was also experiencing volcanic eruptions, and everything was covered in hot lava.
Mars now has more than a hundred active volcanoes erupting all over the world, and large amounts of volcanic ash and volcanic gas cover the entire planet.
Therefore, Mars, which is already very close to the atmospheric pressure of the Blue Star, is completely shrouded in volcanic ash, just like Venus, making it impossible to see the surface of the earth.
Today's Mars can no longer be seen as densely covered with iron oxide gravel on the surface, and it can no longer be called Mars at all.
Just like the situation on Venus, even if the thick volcanic ash blocked the sunlight, the entire Mars should have entered an ice age.
However, the eruption of a large number of volcanoes and the presence of a large amount of greenhouse gases caused the surface of Mars to suddenly jump from the initial subzero temperature to an average of over 50 degrees.
Mars is still too small and cooled too quickly to become a hot hell like Venus, but it is still not suitable for human survival.
Because volcanic gases contain various components, and because of the intense heat on the surface, various things that should have turned into liquids have also become gaseous. Therefore, the color of the Martian atmosphere is not only not colorless, but colorful mixed with volcanic ash. .
But even if Mars has become like this, the behavior of throwing asteroids towards it has not changed at all. At most, there are fewer rocky asteroids and more water-rich asteroids.
With modern detection methods, it is naturally possible to see the surface of Mars through the thick volcanic ash.
Because of the eruption of volcanoes, the entire Mars was covered by thick clouds. The friction of the clouds caused the collision of two opposite charges, and lightning began to occur. Even through the clouds, the light of lightning could occasionally be seen.
With clouds and lightning, another thing, rain, appears naturally.
The melted icy asteroids that fell on Mars have formed several lakes, or relatively small seas.
With rain, the water vapor evaporated from the sea not only fills the ravines on the land, but also part of it flows back to the sea.
So a preliminary water circulation system began to be established.
Although this system is still very fragile, it often happens that the entire sea is swallowed up due to a geological change.
But as ice-containing planets are successively added, the water content on Mars continues to increase.
And Xiao Ai's actions never stopped.
Because the speed of the spacecraft reaches one percent of the speed of light, traveling within the solar system is a breeze. Even the Kuyinbo Belt, which is 30 astronomical units away, only takes a little more than 17 days to reach.
Even including the acceleration and deceleration time, it is only a mere month.
In the last century, when telescopic aircraft were not yet available, crossing the ocean would still take more than a month, even if it was a ship using a steam engine.
Even the widest Pacific Ocean is only 10,000 kilometers wide, which is incomparable to the 4.5 billion kilometers of the Kuyinbo Belt.
But this represents that mankind's determination to pursue speed has never changed. Large jets have shortened intercontinental travel to less than a day.
Nowadays, it takes no more than ten hours to reach the moon by taking a spaceship from the Moon Palace Base.
Because of the increase in the speed of the spacecraft, Xiao Ai has the ability to explore the entire solar system.
Just before the asteroids were pulled back on the 1st and 2nd, many detection spacecraft had already carried out detailed detection of many asteroids that had become targets.
Although asteroids made entirely of metal materials are of extremely high value, they cannot be used as weight-increasing materials for Mars.
Because they are so heavy, nearly twice as heavy as ordinary asteroids, their impact on Mars would cause particularly severe damage.
Even though their relative velocities are almost the same when they meet, as the asteroids approach, the gravitational force between them will accelerate the asteroids to a relative speed of more than a few kilometers per second.
This speed coupled with the tens of billions of tons of mass of the asteroid itself, the impact can be imagined.
If it's just one or two, it doesn't really matter, but their goal of increasing the weight of Mars has already reached more than 20% of the total mass of Mars.
There is too much mass that does not belong to Mars. If it is placed evenly on Mars, it does not matter. It will only make Mars larger and heavier.
But when it comes to heavy asteroids, their bodies are also extremely strong and will directly break through the protection of the earth's crust upon impact.
The damage caused at that time directly reached the mantle of Mars and even the core of Mars. For a planet, the damage was extremely deep.
If there are too many such collisions, then Mars will not be far away from being torn apart.
Therefore, the asteroids chosen by Yang Qing are either mainly composed of rocks or contain more water. If such an asteroid hits Mars, it will be like an egg hitting a stone.
Although the kinetic energy is almost the same, its damage is basically maintained at the level of the earth's crust or shallow mantle.
This will add mass to Mars, and the heat converted from kinetic energy will further heat Mars.
And the angle of the impact must also be strictly calculated and must be symmetrical, so that the orbit of Mars will not change due to the impact.
This is also the reason why only one or two asteroids hit every month. Otherwise, with Xiao Ai's work efficiency, she could smash all a thousand asteroids within a year.
After all, it took billions of years for the orbit of Mars to be cleared up. A slight deviation, even a few tenths of a degree, may lead to the phenomenon of being as hot as fire in one season of the year and freezing in other seasons. .
It is also possible that because of this deviation, an asteroid or comet that often visits the inner solar system happened to encounter Mars.
If it were at other times, Yang Qing would actually be eager for a collision, but the impact of such a change in orbit would not be visible in a short period of time.
Accidents may occur decades or even centuries later.
However, Yang Qing estimates that the transformation time of Mars will not exceed fifty years. In about ten years, Mars will have to form a basically stable geological structure.
Twenty years from now, the modified Martian atmosphere will be able to basically meet the needs of ordinary people.
Although it seems a bit fanciful to condense the changes in the past hundreds or thousands of years into a dozen years.
But with the addition of Reiki, all this becomes possible.
In the prehistoric times, we would often encounter fragments of this world, and many of the conditions were even worse than those of Mars.
However, with the blessing of various formations and the birth of spiritual energy, all this became possible.
