[Chapter 184: Fossils? (Two chapters combined)]

When the audience sees the picture again, the impact on the day and night division point on the surface of Mars still bursts with dazzling light. On the day side, the high-altitude atmosphere presented a round of annular air waves with a radius of more than 2,000 kilometers under the strong energy aurora, and the thin clouds within the radius were instantly dispersed, and on the surface of Mars, when the clear picture was seen again, a meteorite sinkhole with a diameter of 430 kilometers was born, and people were shocked to see that the shock wave formed by the crater as the center spread in a circular shape on the surface of the planet, and everywhere it went, the wind swept the clouds.

The viewer only saw that the shockwave was covered in dust everywhere it went, and that the land on the surface of the planet could no longer be seen. And this shock wave will only end when it directly affects a quarter of the entire planet, indirectly affecting the surface of the entire planet, and in one day, Mars will be shrouded in dust, which will be difficult to dissipate for two million years.

"The Terminator is here!"

Just 549 seconds after Phobos crashed into the surface, a real vision of the end of the world descended on the planet, and the image was once again overwhelmed by light.

……

NASA.

"Emergency, HQ has lost contact with Mars Observer 2!" A staff member stared up at the display panel and flew into English.

"Try to connect with them again!"

"No, Mars Observer 3 crashed on the surface of Mars 488 seconds ago." Said a third person who came out of nowhere.

"What do you say? That's impossible? ”

"Nothing impossible, the reason for the crash was that the probe was in a low-altitude orbit and was hit by the aftermath of the 'Terminator' impact on the planet and lost control and crashed. Here's all the data from Mars Observer 3 488 seconds ago, take a look! ”

"My God!! How could there be such a large data error? How could the Terminator impact on Mars produce 68 times more energy than we estimated? How can this be??? ”

"Hey, I don't think it's an error. Only the following explanations are given. In addition to the energy generated by the collision between the 'Terminator' and Mars, the additional 67 times the energy comes from other factors, it may be that some material inside Mars released energy during the collision, but the geological structure of Mars is clear enough, this can basically be ruled out, so there is only one explanation......"

“…… That is. This extra 67 times the energy comes from... It's the 'Terminator' itself! ”

'What did you say?' The Terminator's own release of 67 quilts' energy? This ......"

"Only the 'Terminator' is the most suspicious, we don't know anything about its material structure, and we can't understand its condition for two days. The energy could not have been fabricated out of thin air, let alone 67 times the ultra-high energy generated by the collision, and all impossibilities were ruled out, there was only one result, and the 'Terminator' itself released this energy! ”

"Oh, damn it! That's right! What is the situation with China's Firefly 3 now? Crashed too? ”

"No, Firefly 3 is in a high-altitude orbit. The aftermath didn't cause devastating damage to it, and it's still working! ”

"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and contact them to apply for the broadcast, how much money will be agreed as long as it is not too outrageous, and the most important thing, we and the Mars rover on the planet 'Explorer 2' have lost control and need an information relay station, and now only 'Firefly 3' is in orbit. Negotiate with China and let Firefly 3 take over our rover. Consider sharing information with them, as the rover has just been on the planet and is an excellent time to collect data samples. ”

"Yes!"

"Get it done as soon as possible, the rover will only survive for a few hours before it will be torn apart by the shockwave!! F**k！！ It's so fun to help people advertise and send money over!! ”

NASA immediately contacted the China National Space Administration (CNSA) for the U.S. application request. China was surprised to learn that the Mars Observer 3 had been hung up. The United States wants to apply for the live broadcast of the "Firefly No. 3", and China naturally greets it with a smile, and of course, the benefits are definitely wanted. However, there is no lion to open his mouth, and a reasonable amount of money has been collected, which is secondary, and the most important thing is that this broadcast is a good opportunity for the "Firefly 3" probe and China's aerospace to publicize to the outside world, you know, the number of people who are paying attention to this hot spot in the world is calculated in 100 million.

The United States, as always, opened its mouth and tried to share data, and the price was for the "Firefly-3" to replace the "Mars Observer 3" as the information relay station of the surface Mars rover, and the United States promised to be willing to share information and data with it. But China rejected the U.S. proposal on the grounds that the Firefly 3 had its own mission, and there was no room for negotiation at all?

Now, there is only one probe in orbit around Mars, the United States' "Observer 3" crashed in low-altitude orbit, and the Mars rover "Explorer 2", which was launched on the surface of Mars for less than two months, will soon become a pile of garbage, and the crash of "Mars Observer 3" has also caused the only transit station to disappear, and the rover on the surface has become ownerless.

As for why China refused without hesitation, there is not even the slightest room for negotiation, everything is because the United States was unwilling to share the "Explorer 2" first, which is called treating others the way they want to go.

What's more, just when the Americans left in anger, 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 Earth at all without the help of the transit station, and China can get it whatever it wants, and the Americans don't know.

"Comrade Xiao Yi, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, cracking the 'Explorer 2' is of great help to our own ground detector research and development, there are still seven and a half hours, the shock wave is about to arrive at the location of the 'Explorer 2', time is running out, please, be sure to do your best!"

"I'll do my best!"

“…… I did it! It worked! ”

"Gaining control of Explorer 2...... Successfully obtained terminal permissions! ”

"The shock wave is expected to reach the target location in 5 minutes!"

"Hurry, hurry! Don't analyze and process, just copy all the data, and have time to study it later! ”

"The target is hit and goes into a 10-second countdown...... 8…… 7…… 6…… 5……”

"All data copies are complete!"

"Good! What a surprise, if the Americans knew, it was estimated that they would vomit three liters of blood, hahaha~~"

Just after the data was received. The shock wave formed by the impact of the "Terminator" on the surface of the earth instantly tore the "Explorer 2" on the surface of Mars to pieces, and the land was instantly shrouded in dust and heat waves, with zero visibility.

The shock wave formed by the Terminator's impact on the surface of Mars then completely covered the energy aftermath and impact range of Phobos, and then spread until 8 hours passed, and the forward speed of the shock wave remained supersonic in its spread. Just like a 360-degree forklift pushing the dust on the surface of the earth, where the shock wave goes, the terrain features have all changed dramatically, and the largest canyon in the solar system, the "Mariner's Valley", is on Mars, however, the shock wave effortlessly makes the most ancient of the solar system, after the shock wave swept through the "Mariner's Valley", the Grand Canyon was immediately flattened by the dust pushed by the shock wave.

The annular shock wave begins to shrink after reaching its maximum diameter on Mars, and will eventually converge at the opposite point of impact. 8 hours and 47 minutes later, the shock wave formed by the impact of the "Terminator" meteorite on the surface converged to the opposite point, which was the pole corresponding to the coordinates of Mount Olympus.

The live broadcast continued, but only 7% of the people who were still watching were now at its peak, and these people witnessed the shockwave, moving on the surface of Mars in a devastating manner, and anything that stood in its way was wiped out. It's a real world-destroying force, a force that terrifies the audience. A force that makes humanity feel hopeless!

Until the shock wave rippled the entire surface of Mars, there was no way forward, and finally converged on the opposite side of the impact ground, when the shock wave converged at the opposite point, it looked like a "firework" in outer space, blooming at a speed visible to the naked eye. This "firework" spreads at an altitude of 230,000 meters at the opposite point, 500 kilometers, 800 kilometers, and 1,070 kilometers...... The "fireworks," which are mostly made up of dust, will spread throughout the atmosphere over time, and this dust will remain in the Martian atmosphere for at least 6 million years, when sunlight will barely ingest the surface.

None of the scientists could have imagined that the end 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 finish line that was 3,895 meters higher than Mount Olympus, and in 390 minutes, it created a 25,124-meter-high peak!! Whew~~~Whew~~~ It's terrible! The middle-aged man stared blankly at the simulation of the real-time calculation on the monitor, and his body trembled. This is not only a force that destroys the world, but it is also a force that creates the highest mountain in the solar system and breaks a series of records.

"Is there any geomorphological information about the impact site?"

"It's already out, and basically the sinkhole won't be expanding."

"How old?"

"With a diameter of 3,701 kilometers, the sinkhole is 384 kilometers deep to the bottom, and the bottom is 304 kilometers deep into the Martian mantle, and there is ...... Only... Only...... Teach... Teach...... Professor!! ”

"When did you stutter?"

“…… Professor! The data shows that the integrity of the 'Terminator' asteroid is as high as 95.5%, it ...... It's been preserved almost intact! ”

"What do you say? Are you sure? ”

"It's true, I thought it was a mistake in the data, but I repeated the calculation five times, and now it's the sixth time, and the result is still 95.5%!"

"What exactly is this purple asteroid made of? Could it be that the extra 67 times the collision energy was really released by it? ”

……

The "Terminator" asteroid in the sinkhole is very complete, the data obtained by scientists from the China National Space Administration is not wrong, its preservation integrity is amazing, it does not even seem to have any damage, in fact, when the two celestial bodies fell to the ground, "Phobos" along the way due to atmospheric friction and was constantly dismembered into pieces of different sizes, but the "Terminator" meteorite did not even have a little dismemberment in the process of falling, and fell into Mars with 100% integrity.

It's incredible!

Now, it has erased "Mount Olympus" and settled in this territory itself, stationed here in peace forever. Scientists will be shocked if they discover the Terminator meteorite, because its surface has changed from bright purple to dark purple.

The meteorite not only smashed a super crater. The mantle of Mars was also smashed out, and the period was exposed.

And in a corner of the super sinkhole, there are more than 20 holes in the sinkhole, here is the Martian mantle, there are so many cavities, if "Explorer 2" still exists and arrives here, it will be found. These holes, which look incredibly black from the outside, are actually interconnected on the inside, as if there is no end, and some of the hollows inside are large enough to fit the space of three football fields.

At the location of a certain hole, there is a very peculiar structure, which does not look like it was formed naturally, because it has a striking symmetry, and if an archaeologist sees it, he can make a 100% determination at a random glance...... This is a fossil.

……

The Martian impact event lasted 13 hours with a bang. The live broadcast also continued for a long time, until a new peak of the solar system was formed opposite Mount Olympus.

This event completely shocked every witness, the annihilating scene, the terrifying, terrifying shock wave made every witness unforgettable for a lifetime, the birth of the new highest peak of the solar system, let every witness feel how terrible the creation force is that is simply irresistible.

390 minutes to create a 25,124-meter-high mountain, one can't imagine what an invincible force it is.

The Martian impact is over, but the topic is still hot. The world has yet to recover from that shock.

The newly formed highest peak of the solar system was named "New Olympus", and the original "Olympus" has been completely wiped out from Mars. A super sinkhole was also formed in its place, and in honor of this peak, people named this sinkhole "Olympus Sinkhole". The entire geomorphology and geography of Mars has changed dramatically, the "Olympus" has disappeared, the "New Olympus" has been born, and the "Mariner Valley" on Mars has also been filled. Countless more environments have been altered......

Mars after being hit by two asteroids is no longer the original Mars, and for human beings, after the results of this impact event came out, NASA held a press conference again, that is, to announce that the United States has canceled the "Mars program" that has been preparing for 25 years from now on. The Americans thought that they would only need to postpone it for a few years. But everyone didn't expect that the energy released by the "Terminator" after hitting Mars would be miscalculated by all mankind, with an error of 67 yuan.

But this error also tells mankind that the "Terminator" meteorite is very likely to be a new substance or element that has never been discovered by mankind so far, and only judgment can explain why there is such a big error. This is undoubtedly an exciting news, but soon those scientists who are excited about it are helpless like a deflated ball, Mars has undergone great changes, with the current Martian surface has increased by hundreds of times compared with the previous harsh environment and the current level of human aviation science and technology, human landing on Mars may be far away, even if the launch of a ground probe, in the next five to ten years it is impossible to successfully land on the ground, at most launch an orbital probe for long-distance observation.

Despite the difficulties, this is not a reason, scientists can almost make 70% of the conclusion, the meteorite is made of unknown elements and substances, uncover its mystery, and perhaps promote the progress of human science and technology, it is not necessarily, the miraculous meteorite lying under the "Olympus sinkhole" is the source of power for mankind to land on Mars.
