173: Humanity's new home: The Mars terraforming project is launched!

When Lu Chen's final declaration of the "Planet Transformation Project," filled with god-like dominance and ambition, clearly echoed across the bridge of the expedition, heavenly craft's super brain, composed of infinite data, boiled over once again.

[Yes! Master!]

Her brilliant, intelligent eyes were filled with unparalleled fervor and worship! She knew that starting today, she and her Master would no longer be limited to conquering the starry sea! They would become the new creators of that vast, endless starry sea!

And at this moment.

In the sightseeing hall of the expedition.

"O-Oh my God!"

"Th-This is Mars?!"

"This is too damn spectacular!"

Even though they were all crucial national figures who had long been accustomed to all kinds of great storms and waves!

At this moment, they couldn't help but let out gasps of astonishment like children!

Meanwhile, Su Qingying, looking like the most dedicated scientist, gazed adoringly at the brand new

planet outside the window, which was full of the unknown and mystery!

Her beautiful, bright eyes were filled with a scientist's infinite

longing!

and desire for exploration!

"Esteemed leaders."

Just then, Lu Chen's calm voice slowly rang out.

He had arrived in the sightseeing hall without anyone noticing.

Behind him followed that ethereal virtual

shadow.

"Welcome to"

He spread his arms like a monarch surveying his territory!

His face was filled with the boundless

pride of a commercial empire founder!

"Our, Human Civilization's second"

"New Home!"

"New Home?!"

All the big shots were stunned!

"Lu Chen, kid, what do you mean by that?"

Confusion filled Ye Qingcang's cloudy old eyes. "This godforsaken place doesn't even have a single blade of grass! How can it be our new home?!"

"Now, there isn't."

Lu Chen smiled.

It was a god-like smile, full of absolute confidence and absolute control.

"That doesn't mean"

"there won't be in the future."

The moment his voice fell!

They saw him slowly raise his hand toward the desolate, deathly silent red

Gobi outside the window!

And lightly snapped his fingers!

"heavenly craft."

"Activate, 'Houtu' Two!"

[Instruction received.]

["Houtu" Two Mars Environmental Transformation Program, initiated!]

[Sending activation instructions to one hundred million 'genesis' class engineering nanorobot motherships already deployed on the surface of Mars]

[Instruction, successfully sent!]

The next second!

An unprecedented planet-wide

great

transformation—one capable of making all of human civilization tremble—

officially raised the

curtain!

They saw that upon the vast, desolate, and deathly silent red Gobi!

The one hundred million silver-white metal spheres, only the size of a fist, which had been secretly transported to Mars in advance by transport ships!

Simultaneously lit up without warning with a green

light full of vital energy!

Then!

"Crack, crack."

A crisp sound, like the cracking of eggshells, rang out!

The one hundred million metal spheres were actually like living insect eggs!

They split open in the middle!

Releasing billions upon billions of almost invisible

nano

robots, ten thousand times smaller than grains of sand!

They were like swarms of highly disciplined micro-sappers!

Under the unified command of heavenly craft!

They frantically swept toward the boundless red sea of sand!

Wherever they passed!

A miracle occurred!

The red sand and gravel, originally barren, filled with iron oxide, and devoid of life!

Was actually decomposed and reorganized at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Turning into patches of moist, fertile black

soil, full of nutrients!

And this was only the beginning!

After the first batch of nanorobots completed the preliminary transformation of the soil!

The second batch of nanorobots followed close behind!

From their micro-databases, they released billions of genetically edited super

moss spores, specifically modified to adapt to Mars's thin atmosphere and low-temperature environment!

They buried these spores deep within the fertile black soil!

Then!

The third batch of nanorobots also arrived!

Their mission was the simplest and most

brutal!

They drilled deep underground!

Then, they activated the miniature "Controlled Nuclear Fusion"

energy core within their bodies!

Melting the hundreds of millions of tons of

solid water, sealed beneath the Martian polar ice caps—enough to submerge the entire planet!

Forcibly melting it into magnificent underground

hidden rivers!

Drawing that precious water source, full of vital energy!

And continuously channeling it to this land of death that had been dry for billions of

years!

"Rumble rumble—"

A muffled roar, like an ancient giant beast awakening, came from deep underground!

The next second!

Huge, clear water columns, filled with vital energy!

Like awakened water dragons!

Shot into the sky!

Turning into a sky full of sweet rain in the thin atmosphere!

Evenly sprinkling down upon the black earth where the seeds of hope had just been sown!

"W-Water came out!"

"Oh my God! Water really came out on Mars!"

All the top-level big shots of Xia Country in the sightseeing hall looked like a group of pathetic souls who had seen a ghost!

Every single one of them had their mouths gaping wide enough to fit an aircraft carrier!

Their faces were filled with an unprecedented, ghost-seeing

terror!

and earth-shattering

shock!

But the sight that made them and all the scientific researchers present feel their souls tremble even more!

Was still yet to come!

They saw that upon the black earth saturated by the sweet rain!

Streaks of tender green, full of vitality and

hope!

Actually broke through the soil at a terrifying speed that violated all biological common sense!

Breaking through the soil!

Growing wildly!

One centimeter!

Ten centimeters!

One meter!

In just one hour!

That deathly sea of sand, which had originally been barren!

Had actually transformed into a vast

grassland, lush with green grass and vibrant life!

"Th-Th-This..."

His lips trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence!

His heart, which had long been tempered by all kinds of great storms and waves until it was as solid as a rock!

At this moment, disgracefully began to beat

wildly!

He knew!

From this moment on!

That dream of Mars

colonization, which only existed in science fiction novels!

dream!

Had truly been realized by the young man of only eighteen years old

standing before them, the God!

had been realized!

And, at this moment.

Kunlun Mountain Underground Base.

Long Weiguo was looking with fervent excitement at the "genesis"

live broadcast being transmitted in real-time by heavenly craft.

Beside him stood the excited and proud fat man.

Wang Peng.

"Holy crap! Chen Zi, he's too awesome, isn't he?!"

Wang Peng's face was flushed red with excitement as he looked at the green new world!

"If we were to develop real estate up there,"

"How much money would we make?!"

"Real estate?"

Long Weiguo scoffed disdainfully after hearing that.

"Your perspective"

"is still too small."

He looked at the calm young man on the screen, his sharp eyes filled with unparalleled admiration and

pride!

"Do you think he created such a huge spectacle"

"just to plant some lousy grass?"

"No."

"His real goal"

"is to fish!"
