Super Invincible Battleship

Chapter 753: Life on Mars (Part 2)


Although the drone lost more than half of its energy points, Yan Fei wasn't worried at all, because as soon as Lu Pingping was teleported back, the drone's data refresh time arrived. In an instant, all metrics of the drone returned to their peak state, and the huge energy consumption was instantly replenished.

After sending Lu Pingping away, Yan Fei began to focus on his main task. Under his control, the drone carrier started to quickly return along the route it came from. After spending five days and five nights again, Yan Fei finally returned to the star domain where Mars resides, from the distant Neptune.

Yan Fei had previously mentioned to Lu Pingping that to successfully terraform Mars, the first step is to revive Mars' magnetic field. To revive this magnetic field, one must enter the Martian core and detonate a super hydrogen bomb there. This super hydrogen bomb's explosion yield will reach an unprecedented 100 billion tons of TNT.

During this time, Yan Fei's drone medium-sized production workshop had been working on producing that super hydrogen bomb. This bomb not only has a massive explosion yield but also needs to withstand the extreme pressure and temperature of the Martian core when detonated there, requiring many new technologies in its construction. This has caused its production progress to be very slow. However, Yan Fei isn't rushing because once he reaches the depths of the Martian core, the super hydrogen bomb can be produced.

Even though everyone on Earth was focused on the extensive construction on the Moon and hardly paying attention to the distant Mars, Yan Fei cautiously hid his drone carrier on the Earth-facing side of Mars, to delay the exposure of the drone carrier's data as much as possible.

After making all preparations, the super fighter subsystem of the drone carrier was released. The super fighter entered the universe and headed toward Mars below, ready to undertake the challenging task of restarting Mars' magnetic field.

Yan Fei had conducted various scans of Mars, obtaining much data, but he still couldn't fully understand the underground conditions to ensure Mars' safety. For safety reasons, Yan Fei did not personally board the super fighter to Mars but instead controlled the super fighter from the rear on the drone carrier to carry out each task.

The super fighter flew through the universe, with Yan Fei's thoughts attached to it, feeling as if he were personally flying through space, which was a fascinating feeling. Under Yan Fei's control, the super fighter quickly approached Mars. Because Mars has no atmosphere, the super fighter didn't face any obstacles as it entered the Martian surface.

The Martian surface wasn't as calm as it usually appeared during observations because terrifying hurricanes would frequently sweep across Mars, turning it into a hellscape. Yan Fei's luck wasn't good this time, as his super fighter encountered a sandstorm caused by a super hurricane just as it was landing at the designated location.

This sandstorm whipped up massive amounts of yellow sand and stones, engulfing the drone with destructive force more potent than the strongest sandstorms on Earth. This highlighted that without fundamental alterations to Mars' environment, even the ferocity of such intense sandstorms would suffice to destroy any life attempting to live on Mars.

Despite encountering an unexpected sandstorm, the super fighter's flight and defense capabilities were extremely robust, allowing it to pass stably through the obscuring sandstorm and land at the designated location on Mars. However, the ground-level sandstorm was also at its mightiest, and Yan Fei almost inadvertently allowed the massive super fighter to be blown away by the hurricane. But Yan Fei quickly controlled the super fighter to transform into a mode suitable for underground traversal.

In an instant, the drone changed its form, and driven by a giant drill bit, it swiftly burrowed into the ground, into the yellow sands, thereby blocking the massive destructive force brought by the outside sandstorm.

On the drone carrier, Yan Fei wiped the sweat from his brow, feeling a bit relieved. If it weren't for his drone avatar, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to land on Mars, let alone conduct deep modifications. However, he was confident in completing the modification of Mars because his drone avatar's capabilities were extraordinary, fully supporting his fundamental and comprehensive transformation of Mars.

Yan Fei confirmed the super fighter's position again and found that it hadn't deviated far from the designated landing site, and then controlled the super fighter to start underground traversal toward the preset direction. Meanwhile, Yan Fei began releasing a large number of surveillance satellites into Mars orbit. Within a short time, Yan Fei established a complete satellite network over Mars. These satellites began monitoring Mars, continuously transmitting monitored data back to be interpreted by the Artificial Intelligence "Dream," helping Yan Fei understand any changes occurring on Mars.

Mars has a diameter of 6794 kilometers, and Yan Fei aimed to reach a core depth of 3397 kilometers, meaning the super fighter needed to drill to the very center of Mars' core. Only by detonating the super hydrogen bomb at that location could it unleash its maximum power and activate the entire Martian core.

If this were on Earth, the underground would be in a molten state with immense pressure and terrifying temperatures, even an upgraded drone carrier could face unforeseen dangers by venturing into Earth's core depths. But now that the Martian core has cooled, and the underground temperature isn't high, Yan Fei's super fighter can reach such deep places.

Based on the strength of a Level 5 drone avatar, it wouldn't be able to burrow so deep underground. However, the super fighter had already upgraded, undergoing a revolutionary change in strength. It could not only withstand higher temperatures and pressures but also vastly improve in subterranean speed, at least a thousand times faster than before. The massive underground aerospace launch center that Dream Island publicly displayed was excavated by the upgraded super fighter. If it were the previous aerospace launch center, its internal space would only be one percent of the current size.

Beneath the yellow sands, the giant drill bit at the front of the super fighter rapidly rotated, with iron-hard sand and stones shattering like tofu before it, unable to cause any negative impact on its progress. Propelled by two massive tracks on its belly, the super fighter advanced extraordinarily fast, like a giant tank racing across the ground.

After twenty-four hours, the super fighter astonishingly traversed a thousand kilometers towards the depths of the core, showcasing a frightening subterranean capability. Upon reaching the underground, Yan Fei finally confirmed that the entire Martian underground had cooled, with no scorching magma, only cooled solid rocks...

As the super fighter rapidly traversed towards the core, it opened space channels at varying depths in underground spaces, releasing detection equipment from the Universal Space. Using these devices, it collected intelligence on Mars' underground situations, providing Yan Fei with more detailed data on Mars to facilitate the implementation of his next step in the plan.

From the data returned by these detection devices, Yan Fei discovered certain water resources existing in the crevices among the yellow sands and rocks underground. However, due to the low surface temperature on Mars, these water resources had all frozen, making them inaccessible for extraction to the surface for use. But as long as the surface temperature on Mars becomes suitable, they would quickly melt and reappear on Mars' surface. However, the quantity of water resources Yan Fei discovered was limited, and even if they melted, they couldn't form a water cycle system that could guarantee human survival on Mars.

Analyzing the shallow rocks of Mars, Yan Fei found fossils of ancient life forms such as bacteria within these rocks, indicating that ancient Martian climates were pleasant, indeed harboring life. It's a pity that due to changes in the environment, these primitive life forms couldn't evolve further, failing to develop a unique civilization on Mars. After billions of years of adversity, there are no longer any living beings on Mars today. Apart from the rampant sandstorms on the Martian surface, the entire Mars is devoid of life, truly a forbidden zone for life.

When the super fighter reached a depth of a thousand kilometers within Mars, Yan Fei detected no water sources and could see no traces of life ever existing. This indicated that during ancient times, this region was full of scorching magma, and all signs of life were obliterated here by the magma...
