[Chapter 184: Fossils? (Two chapters merge)]
When the audience saw the picture again, they hit the day and night division point of the Martian surface, and still burst into dazzling light. n∈n∈, on the side of the day, the high-altitude atmosphere showed a round of annular air waves with a radius of more than 2,000 kilometers under the strong energy. The thin clouds within the radius were instantly shattered. When they saw the clear picture again, a meteorite sinkhole with a diameter of 430 kilometers was born. People were shocked to see the shock wave formed with the crater as the center spreading in annular shape on the surface of the planet. Wherever they went, the wind swept away the remaining clouds.
The audience only saw that wherever the shock wave went, it was covered by dust, and no longer could see the land on the surface of the planet. This shock wave directly affected one-quarter of the entire planet and indirectly affected the entire planet's surface. In one day, Mars will be covered by dust and will be difficult to dissipate for two million years.
“The ‘Terminator’ is here!”
Just 549 seconds after "Phobos" hit the surface, the real world-destruction scene descended on this planet, and the picture was once again flooded with light.
...
NASA.
"In an emergency, the headquarters lost contact with 'Mars Observer 2'!" A staff member looked up at the display panel and rushed in English.
“Try to connect with it now!”
"No need, 'Mars Observer 3' had crashed on the Mars surface 488 seconds ago." said the third party who suddenly walked over.
"What did you say? This is impossible?"
"There is nothing impossible. The reason for the crash is that the probe is in low-altitude orbit, and was hit by the aftermath of the "Terminator" hitting the planet, and it crashed out of control. This is all the data 488 seconds ago transmitted by Mars Observer 3. Take a look!"
"My God!! How could such a large data error occur? How could the 'Terminator' impact on Mars produce 68 times the energy we estimate? How could this be???"
"Hey, I don't think this is an error. There is only the following explanation. In addition to the energy generated by the collision of the 'Terminator' with Mars, the additional 67 times of energy comes from other factors. It may be that some matter inside Mars released energy during the collision, but we are already clear enough about the geological structure of Mars. This line can be basically ruled out, so there is only one explanation..."
"...that is, this extra 67 times of energy comes from...the 'Terminator' itself!"
"What did you say? The 'Terminator' itself released the energy of 67 quilts? This..."
"Only the 'Terminator' is the most suspicious, and we don't know anything about its material structure. We can't understand its condition in two days. The energy cannot be fabricated out of thin air, let alone 67 times the super high energy generated by the collision. Excluding everything is impossible, there is only one result. The 'Terminator' itself releases these energy!"
"Oh. Damn it! By the way! What's going on in China's "Firefire 3"? It also crashed?"
"No, 'Firefire III' is located in high-altitude orbit, and the aftermath has not caused devastating damage to it and is still in operation!"
"Why are you still standing there? Contact them to apply for broadcasting quickly. As long as it is not too outrageous, I agree. And the most important thing is that we have lost control with the Mars rover "Explorer 2" on the planet and need an information transfer station. Now only "Firefire 3" is in orbit. Discuss with China to let "Firefire 3" take over our Mars rover, and we can consider sharing information results with it. This time, the Mars rover has just been on the planet, which is an excellent time to collect data samples."
"Yes!"
"It's done as soon as possible. The rover can only survive for a few hours and will be torn apart by the shock wave! f**k!! He has to send money to advertise and send money to help people. It's so interesting!!!"
NASA contacted China's National Space Administration as soon as possible. China was surprised by the application requirements of the United States, and then it was discovered that "Mars Observer 3" had expired. The United States wanted to apply for the live broadcast of "Flower 3". China naturally greeted with a smile. Of course, the benefits must be needed, but there was no lion's mouth. It was reasonable to collect funds. This benefit is second-most important. This broadcast is a good opportunity for the "Flower 3" probe and China's aerospace propaganda to the outside world. You must know that the number of people who are paying attention to this hot topic in the world is calculated in 100 million.
The United States has been speaking out as always, trying to share information. The price is to let Firefly 3 replace "Mars Observer 3" as an information transfer station for the surface rover, and the United States promised to be willing to use it for information data. However, China rejected the United States' proposal on the grounds that Firefly 3 has its own mission, and there is no room for negotiation?
Now, there is only one probe in Mars orbit. The US Observer 3 crashed in a low-altitude orbit. The Mars rover "Explorer 2" that was launched on the Mars surface for less than two months will soon become a pile of garbage. The crash of "Mars Observer 3" also led to the disappearance of the only transit station, and the Mars rover on the surface has also become a homeless object.
As for why China refuses without hesitation, there is no room for negotiation. Everything is the United States was unwilling to share "Explorer 2" first, which is called using the way of others to cure others.
More importantly, just when the Americans left angrily, China's National Space Administration began to secretly crack the Mars rover "Explorer 2".
At this moment, the Mars rover is unmanaged, and the weak model cannot be transmitted back to the earth without the help of a transit station. China can do whatever it wants, and the Americans don’t know.
"Comrade Xiaoyi, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Cracking the "Explorer 2" will be of great help to the development of our own ground detectors. In seven and a half hours, the shock wave will arrive at the "Explorer 2" position. There is not much time left. Please, please do your best!"
“I will do my best!”
"...I succeeded! Success!"
"Getting control of 'Explorer 2'... Successfully obtaining terminal permissions!"
"The shock wave is expected to reach its target position in 5 minutes!"
"Hurry! Don't analyze and process it, just copy all the data, and you have time to study it back!"
"The target suffered a shock and entered a 10-second countdown...8...7...6...5..."
"All data copying is completed!"
"Okay! What an unexpected surprise. If Americans find out, they will probably vomit three liters of blood, hahahaha."
Just as the data was received, the shock wave body formed by the impact of the "Terminator" hit the surface instantly tore the "Explorer 2" on the surface of Mars into pieces. The land was instantly shrouded in dust and heat waves, and its visibility was zero.
The shock wave formed by the "Terminator" hit the Mars surface, then completely covered the energy aftermath and impact range of "Phobos", and then spread. Until 8 hours passed, the forward speed of the shock wave remained diffusing at supersonic speed, just like a 360-degree forklift pushing the dust on the surface, wherever the shock wave went. All the landform characteristics changed drastically, and the largest canyon in the solar system, the "Sailor Valley", was on Mars. However, the shock wave effortlessly made the most of the solar system pass by the "Sailor Valley". After the shock wave passed through the "Sailor Valley", the dust pushed by the shock wave was filled with a flat landfill in an instant.
The ring shock wave begins to become smaller after reaching the maximum diameter of Mars, and will eventually gather at the opposite point of the impact site. After 8 hours and 47 minutes, the shock wave formed by the "Terminator" meteorite hit the surface converges toward the opposite point, which is the pole corresponding to the coordinates of Mount Olympus.
Although the live broadcast continues, compared with the peak period, only 7% of the people who are still watching are now left. These people witnessed this shock wave and moved forward in a devastating state on the surface of Mars. Any matters that blocked it were destroyed were destroyed. This is a truly world-destroying power, a force that scares the audience, and a force that makes human beings feel desperate!
Until the shock waves spread across the entire Mars surface and there was no way forward, it finally gathered opposite the impact ground. When the shock wave gathered at the opposite point, it looked like a "firework" in outer space, blooming at a speed visible to the naked eye. This "firework" spreads rapidly at a height of 10,000 meters at the opposite point, 500 kilometers, 800 kilometers, 1,070 kilometers... The "fireworks" mainly composed of dust will spread to the entire atmosphere over time. These dust will remain in the Martian atmosphere for at least 6 million years, and then the sunlight will be almost impossible to absorb the surface.
No scientist has ever thought that the final result would be like this. Is this the power of 68 times the collision energy?
China National Space Administration.
"Oh my god, the shock wave created a mountain at the end of the line that was 3895 higher than Mount Olympus. In 390 minutes, a mountain peak of up to 25124 meters!!! Huh~ Huh~ It's so terrible!" The middle-aged man stared blankly at the simulated graphics of real-time calculations on the monitor, and his body was trembling. This is not only a power to destroy the world, but also a power to create the world. It created the highest mountain in the solar system and set a series of records.
"Have the landform information of the impact point come out?"
"It's already out, basically the sinkhole will not expand."
“How old?”
"The diameter is 3701 kilometers. The sinkhole reaches 384 kilometers deep from the bottom, and the bottom reaches 304 kilometers deep into the Martian mantle. And...it's...it's...it's...it's...it's...it's...it's...it's...it's...it's...it's...it's...it's...it's!!"
“When did you become stuttering?”
"...Professor! The data shows that the completeness of the 'Terminator' asteroid is as high as 95.5%, and it...it is almost completely preserved!"
"What did you say? Are you sure?"
"It's true. I thought the data was wrong, but I repeated the calculations five times, and now it's the sixth time, and the result is still 95.5%!"
"What kind of material is this purple asteroid made of? Is the extra 67 times of collision energy really released by it?"
...
The "Terminator" asteroid in the sinkhole is very complete. The data obtained by scientists from the National Space Administration of China are not wrong. Its storage is amazing and it looks like there is no damage. In fact, when two celestial bodies fell to the ground, Phobos was constantly dismembered from fragments of different sizes due to atmospheric friction along the way. However, the "Terminator" meteorite did not even dismember it in the fall, and fell into Mars with a 100% completeness.
This is incredible!
Now, it erased "Mount Olympus" and settled in this territory, and stationed here peacefully forever. If scientists discovered that the "Terminator" meteorite at this moment would definitely be extremely shocked, because its surface changed from bright purple to dark purple.
This meteorite not only smashed a super sinkhole, but also smashed the mantle of Mars, which was exposed during the period.
In a corner of the Super Sink, there are more than 20 holes in the Sink. This is the Martian mantle. There are so many holes. If "Explorer 2" still exists and arrives here, you will find that these holes that look extremely black from the outside are actually connected and interconnected inside. As if there is no end, some hollow places inside can even accommodate the space of three football fields.
At a certain hole, there is a very strange structure. It does not seem to be formed naturally because it has amazing symmetry. If an archaeologist sees it, you only need to take a look at it and make a 100% conclusion immediately... This is a fossil.
...
The Mars impact lasted vigorously for 13 hours and the live broadcast lasted for a long time until the peak of Mount Olympus formed a new solar system at the same point.
This incident completely shocked every witness. The world-destroying scene was so terrifying and terrifying shock wave that made every witness unforgettable for the rest of his life. The birth of a new peak in the solar system made every witness feel how terrible that irresistible creation power was.
In 390 minutes, a mountain of 25,124 meters was created, and people could not imagine what kind of arrogant power it was.
The Mars impact incident ended, but the popularity of this topic has not diminished. The whole world has not yet come back from the shock.
The newly formed highest peak of the solar system was named "Neo Olympus", and the original "Olympus" has been completely erased from Mars, and a super sinkhole has been formed on the spot. In order to commemorate this mountain, people named this sinkhole "Olympus sinkhole". The entire landform and geographical characteristics of Mars have undergone earth-shaking changes. "Olympus" disappeared, and "Neompus" was born, and the "Sailor Valley" on Mars was also landfilled, and more countless environments have been changed...
Mars after being hit by two asteroids is no longer the original Mars. For humans, after the result of this impact incident came out, NASA held another press conference to the public, announcing that the United States would cancel the "Mars Plan" for 25 years from now on. Americans originally thought that it would only take a few years to postpone it back, but no one expected the energy released by the "Terminator" after hitting Mars. Even the calculation of all humans was wrong, and the error reached 67.
But this error also tells humans that the "Terminator" meteorite is very likely to be a new matter or new element that humans have never discovered, and only the conclusion can explain why such a large error occurs. This is undoubtedly exciting news, but soon those scientists who are excited about it are as helpless as a deflated balloon. Mars has undergone a drastic change. Judging from the harsh environment where the surface of Mars has increased by hundreds of times compared to before and the current aerospace technology level of human beings, humans may have a long-term future when landing on Mars. Even if they launch ground probes, they will not be able to successfully land on the ground in the next five to ten years. At most, they will launch orbital probes for long-distance observations.
Despite the difficulties, this is not a reason. Scientists can almost make 70% conclusions that the meteorite is constructed of unknown elements and matter. It may be possible to uncover its answers and advance human science and technology. The magical meteorite lying under the "Olympus sinkhole" is the source of motivation for humans to land on Mars.

(ps: If you have time, please check out this paragraph of ps. There is no charge for the following words.
This plot finally ended. A large wave of pits was dug. I wonder how many of them were found, such as huge pits, large pits, and small pits, and there were more than one. If you find all the pits, the small stone would fail to dig through and out. If only one or two were seen, it would be successful. If one was seen, it would be impossible to see one or two. That would be too cute. I don’t believe it. The pits dug are also related to filling the pits in front. Then fill the pits in front, 33. Just like the pits in front, let these pits be filled! The digging is almost done, and the next step is to enter the rhythm of filling the pits as the main and digging pits as the auxiliary.
Finally, I owe two chapters, so I was so moved that I was crying. Finally, I had to pay it back. The feeling of not having debt is too Nass! This lesson is very profound. On the importance of keeping a manuscript!) (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
