However, just as Yan Fei had analyzed before, the entire water resource on Mars is quite limited. Under the effect of high temperatures inside the planet, the vast majority of the water resources appear on the surface. But their quantity is limited, forming only a few small lakes, and no more water resources flow from underground. If relying on this amount of water, it would be utterly insufficient for Earth humans to live on Mars, nor could it be used to meet the planting needs of Mars' vegetation...
After the appearance of a large amount of liquid water, under the influence of some underground high-temperature magma and gases, they begin to change from liquid to gaseous state in large quantities. They rise to the sky, forming the most primitive Martian atmosphere. According to the destiny of Mars' atmosphere, this water vapor would inevitably escape into space and then disappear. But under the restraint of Mars' newly formed magnetic field, this water vapor did not escape into space; it was confined to the surface of Mars by the Martian Magnetic Field.
In the newly formed cracks on the Martian surface, many high-temperature gases were also emitted. The composition of these high-temperature gases is very complex. They blend into the water vapor in the sky, jointly forming the most primitive Martian atmosphere.
The transformation of Mars from the inside out lasted for a whole six months. After six months of constant evolution, the Martian magnetic field has completely stabilized, several small lakes appeared in the low-lying areas on Mars' surface, and primitive atmospheric air emerged. But this primitive air mainly consists of water vapor, along with large amounts of carbon dioxide, a trace of oxygen, and a lot of poisonous gases.
With Yan Fei's efforts, Mars' environment has undergone a vast change. However, such a Martian environment remains very harsh and is entirely unsuitable for human habitation and construction. To make it a more hospitable environment, Yan Fei must carry out a second phase of development based on previous efforts.
During these six months, the second subsystem of Yan Fei's drone carrier—the transport aircraft system—was used for the first time. Yan Fei has already dispatched these two transport aircraft, sending them to the asteroid belt, capturing several water-rich asteroids as per earlier intelligence, then storing these asteroids into the universal space. Next, the super fighter was used to launch these water-containing asteroids toward Mars at a specific speed and angle.
These water-containing asteroids successively impacted Mars' surface, continuously heating Mars through these collisions, while continuously altering Mars' terrain and creating conditions for diverse terrain on Mars. But since these asteroids were released from extremely low altitudes, they had some impact on Mars' surface but could not inflict massive destruction on Mars. Even if someone used observational equipment on Earth to look at Mars at this time, they would not notice asteroids impacting Mars.
These asteroids also brought substantial water resources to Mars, enhancing Mars' potential for life. With the continuous efforts of the two transport aircraft, the water resources on Mars dramatically increased. When all the water-containing asteroids from the asteroid belt were transferred onto Mars by Yan Fei, the water resources on Mars increased tenfold compared to before.
But this amount of water resource is only enough to cover 15% of Mars' surface area, and even then, the water is not deep in the covered areas; it is still insufficient to support a large number of Earth humans living on Mars. At this point, Yan Fei turned his attention to the most water-rich body in the solar system, Jupiter's moon Europa.
