101: Chapter 101 Mars Terraforming Completed

A few years ago, although the Eagle Nation green card was not very easy to get, the difficulty wasn't that high; as long as one had money, it was quite easy to obtain.

However, Xia Nation citizenship has been very, very difficult to obtain ever since the founding of New Xia Nation.

And since the emergence of Su Fan, the reputation of Xia Nation citizenship has spread far and wide, and foreigners across the entire Blue Star want it.

Regarding these foreigners who want to apply for immigration, the Xia Nation Immigration Bureau's response is very simple.

"There are too many people, go wait in line!"

The actual reason is: Su Fan hasn't decided yet whether to accept some foreigners!

...

A month later, the atmospheric composition of Mars changed significantly, and the oxygen content rose sharply, but it was still not enough to support human survival.

On October 28th, Su Fan once again flew kunpeng no. 1 to Mars.

His purpose today was not to sow the seeds of Strongly Corrosive Moss, because the surface temperature of Mars was currently too high, with constant volcanic and seismic activity; even if seeds were sown, they would not survive.

"Zhang Qiling, begin operations!" Su Fan gave the order.

Immediately, in the outer space of Mars, a full 100 kunpeng no. 2 spaceship units charged into Mars and then scattered across various parts of the Martian continent.

These locations had already been precisely calculated by the Red Queen.

Soon, some staff members wearing aerospace armor got off the spaceships; these staff members did not come in person, but were still remotely controlling Androids.

Other staff members drove engineering vehicles out of the kunpeng no. 2 cargo holds, towing a massive machine behind them.

This machine was not some new technology, but rather the Continental Plate Stabilization Device that already covered the Xia Nation.

As long as a large number of Continental Plate Stabilization Devices were installed on the Martian continent, Mars's active geological movements would quickly stabilize.

Once the geological movements stabilized, natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanoes caused by overly active geology and plates would slowly disappear.

Besides the Continental Plate Stabilization Devices, Su Fan and his team also brought Weather Beacons.

Weather Beacons would also be deployed in the skies above the entire Martian continent.

Moreover, besides the skies over the continent, they would also be deployed over all the oceans.

The presence of Weather Beacons would be felt across the entire planet of Mars!

It took a week, but these two types of equipment were finally installed.

After disappearing for a week, Su Fan reappeared in the spaceship's cockpit.

"Check the status of all equipment; if there are no issues, begin operation!" Su Fan said with a smile.

"Yes, Elder Su!" Zhang Qiling replied solemnly.

"Okay, Captain," the Red Queen said sweetly.

Soon, the equipment inspection was complete, and the Continental Plate Stabilization Devices and Weather Beacons across all of Mars began to operate.

On Mars, areas that were originally experiencing earthquakes slowly calmed down, and the eruption speed of volcanoes that were originally erupting slowed and decreased.

The Weather Beacons showed results the fastest; the entire planet was suddenly covered in dark clouds, and a continuous stream of water vapor from the oceans was attracted by the Weather Beacons above the sea, then guided to the skies over the Martian continent.

Of course, it wasn't just water vapor from the oceans; there was also a lot of water vapor in Mars's atmosphere now.

Besides water vapor, various tiny suspended particles produced by impacts were also floating at high altitudes.

Now, the water vapor of the entire planet was gathered in large quantities near the Weather Beacons and soon turned into rain falling to the ground.

Attracting water vapor—falling as rain—attracting water vapor—falling as rain...

The atmospheric mobility of Mars increased greatly; driven by the water vapor, the suspended particles formed clouds and fell to the ground with the rain.

This process cycled continuously.

Additionally, under the washing of massive amounts of rain, combined with the gradual disappearance of volcanic eruptions, the surface temperature of Mars continued to drop.

This process lasted for several months!

In the blink of an eye, the date became February 4, 2028.

On this day, the temperature of Mars dropped completely, and the volcanoes stopped erupting.

As for the earthquakes, they had stopped as early as a month ago.

Su Fan came to Mars again, this time with the purpose of sowing the seeds of Strongly Corrosive Moss.

Strongly Corrosive Moss can not only corrode rocks and quickly turn them into soil, but it can also absorb harmful substances from the air.

On current Mars, the oxygen concentration has already reached the standard for human survival.

However, due to the volcanic eruptions, large amounts of sulfur dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, and volcanic ash had been ejected into the atmosphere.

Volcanic ash and some water-soluble substances had already been washed to the ground by the months of heavy rain; only some harmful substances that were not easily soluble in water still remained in large quantities in the atmosphere.

Strongly Corrosive Moss can absorb these toxic substances and then convert them into nutrients fixed in the soil.

Su Fan first had the Red Queen control the Weather Beacons to stop the rain on the Martian continent.

Then, just like spraying the High-Oxygen Strong-Survival Algae seeds, he quickly covered the entire Martian continent with seeds of Strongly Corrosive Moss.

Strongly Corrosive Moss does not grow or reproduce as fast as algae, but in about a week, the Martian continent would be completely covered in green moss.

Su Fan ordered the Red Queen to pause the rain over the Martian continent for one day, then start a light drizzle for two hours starting the second day.

Then, a two-hour light drizzle every other day.

Any excess rain would fall into the ocean.

Strongly Corrosive Moss is a type of bryophyte; it likes moisture but does not like being flooded.

Excessive rain would drown them.

Thus, as the days passed, Su Fan's kunpeng no. 2 did not return to the Blue Star this time.

Instead, it floated silently above a continent on Mars.

The people inside the spaceship were all remotely controlled Androids, so they could go online and offline at any time.

Su Fan would occasionally go online to check on the growth of the Strongly Corrosive Moss, but most of the time he stayed on the Blue Star; he had been working on some new black technology products recently.

The transformation of Mars was nearing its end, and the next step was the fourth phase of the Mars Migration Project—the Mars Great Development Plan.

The development of Mars must be carefully considered and rationally planned; it cannot be built haphazardly.

On the current Blue Star, no matter the country, the buildings in old urban areas are not very good.

This is caused by historical reasons and human foresight.

Take the old urban areas of Xia Nation as an example.

The urban areas planned when the modern New Xia Nation was first founded had very narrow streets because few people drove cars back then; most people walked or rode bicycles.

By the time the 21st century arrived, an era where almost every household had a car, the street planning of the old urban areas became very congested, with nowhere to park at all.

Similarly, the planning for Mars cannot be limited to current modes of travel.

Current Xia Nation people drive cars when they go out; in the future, Xia Nation people might drive Flying Cars or even—spaceships!

In addition to rational planning, rapid construction is also necessary; although Xia Nation's infrastructure building is fast, it's impossible to complete the construction of the entire planet of Mars in just one or two years.

Therefore, Su Fan prepared to exchange for some new black technology to accelerate this process, allowing the people of Xia Nation to move into their new homes sooner!
