Mars is an extremely dry planet. It is illuminated by multiple reflectors, causing its overall temperature to rise, but it has not improved its climate at all. Even the little ice at the north and south poles of Mars has disappeared.

Although the ice caps at the North and South Pole of Mars are actually mostly dry ice, there is still some water ice after all.

Although a large amount of water vapor evaporates into the air, except for the frost that condenses on the surface at night, it does not bring essential changes to the entire Mars.

So after the impact, the first thing that flew up was dust all over the sky.

Then there was an explosion comparable to a super nuclear explosion.

Although the asteroid does not have many radioactive elements and cannot trigger a nuclear explosion, it is large enough and carries enough kinetic energy to create an earth-shattering explosion.

Because the asteroid has been broken into several pieces, the impacts are not actually at the same time. It's just that the speed of the asteroid fragments is too fast, and the difference between them is only one hundredth of a second. It sounds like they are together.

The shock wave caused by the explosion immediately spread out in all directions with Mount Olympus as the center.

The dust of red iron oxide powder on the surface of Mars was immediately swept away by the shock wave, turning into a dark yellow mixed with red wave, rushing towards the distance.

The fire caused by the explosion, although it was extremely far away, was still very bright, just like countless suns shining at the same time, causing people on the platform a hundred thousand kilometers away to close their eyes for the first time.

However, this kind of light only lasted for a moment, and was covered by the smoke and dust raised by the explosion in a blink of an eye.

The huge mushroom cloud soared into the sky on this light-gravity planet, covering tens of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye. It was still growing without stopping, as if it was going to directly hit the Mars platform a hundred thousand kilometers away.

Almost at the same time, the light seemed to suddenly flicker on the twelve platforms, and the large gravitational talisman array covering the entire Mars was turned on immediately.

Standing on the ground of Mars at this time, you can feel about one point and one times the gravity of the Blue Star.

Mugu Yun, which was still rising rapidly, seemed to be tied up all of a sudden. Countless monster-like smoke and dust were churning inside, but it never had the motivation to continue climbing. It just stayed in place and expanded.

Then they accelerated and fell faster. In the near-vacuum universe, they had no ability to float, but the power of the explosion still allowed them to surpass the first cosmic speed of Mars and reach space.

In the next two hours, most of the dust has returned to Mars, but there is still a lot that stays in the empty universe.

The space near Mars, which was originally refreshing and clean, suddenly became foggy. Looking from the Blue Star, the originally clear Mars seemed to be covered with a veil.

The shock wave quickly circled around Mars, bringing winds exceeding level 40 and setting off an unprecedented large sandstorm on Mars.

However, the level 40 wind on Mars is different from that on the Blue Star, because the atmospheric pressure of Mars is only 75 millibars, which is about 7.5% of the surface pressure of the Blue Star.

This is already the result of years of exposure and heating by the large reflector on the Mars platform. Before the temperature rise, the atmospheric pressure of Mars was only 0.75% of the Blue Star's.

With such a low air pressure and such a small air density, even if it is a force 40 wind, the energy and destructive power it contains is at most equivalent to a super typhoon on the Blue Star.

Since the warming of Mars began, the increased temperature difference on Mars has caused more and more frequent convective weather. Mars rovers originally used for Mars exploration by various countries had been scrapped as early as that time.

Now the entire Mars is like a drop of ink entering the water basin. The water basin is rapidly being dyed black. Now except for some areas of Mars, other places have been covered by sand and dust.

In less than an hour, the entire Mars was completely covered in dark yellow sand and dust, and the ground was no longer visible.

Sensors that have been installed all over Mars have transmitted the results of the collision back as soon as possible.

This collision can no longer be described in terms of seismic magnitude. According to sensor detection a thousand kilometers away from Mount Olympus, the magnitude here has reached an unprecedented level of 20, let alone the center of the impact.

Then in the earth-shaking geological activities, it lost contact directly.

Detectors around the world on Mars felt strong earthquakes, at least level five.

Moreover, the collision seems to have triggered a series of geological activities, centered on Mount Olympus, with constant aftershocks. Although the magnitude is far different from the original one, up to ten levels, it continues continuously, as if it will not stop.

Mount Olympus, which has been dormant for tens of millions of years, seems to have started erupting again. In its original position, in the dust in the sky, it has been dyed a little black by the erupted smoke, and then there is also a dark red color. generated inside.

In fact, by this time, this asteroid impact has ended, and all that is left to see is a gray planet with no scenery at all.

Even the view of the universe from here is greatly hindered, because the dust produced by the impact has also spread here.

The dust in the universe may be a rare treasure for those civilizations that can utilize most materials. However, for Yang Qing, it has brought adverse consequences such as reduced efficiency of collecting sunlight and causing wear and tear on some machinery.

Fortunately, this situation was already anticipated when it was originally designed, and several platforms have electrostatic adsorption functions.

The dust near the platform is charged in the huge electrostatic field, and is then attracted to the positive electrode and collected.

As the platform orbits Mars every time, you can see that the orbit is a little clearer. It doesn't take long to return to its original state.

The dust storm on Mars did not gradually dissipate until a month later.

But no matter what, it can't go back to its original state.

It can be seen from the latest photos of Mars that Olympus, the highest peak on Mars, has been directly broken from the impact position in the middle.

The broken part of the mountain was dumped on the nearby plain. Along with it were the debris from the asteroid impact. A plateau was piled up near it.

Although the remaining Mount Olympus is still more than 10,000 meters high, it is difficult to tell that it is a mountain and has become a plateau covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers.

There are dozens of craters on the plateau, which seem to have exhausted their eruption power. Only the fiery red lava emerges from them little by little, and then slowly flows out.

Several gaps caused by the big explosion have been refilled by lava, turning into a smoking whole.
