The heck did they drop down there?

I mean DOOM would be fitting, but the sizes of those objects don't match at all. At least if those are meant to be the pebbles that we call Mars' moons. That collision looks more like they pulled in something like Pallas and Vesta from the asteroid belt (and even those would still be a bit too small)...

Well, at least the planetary surface will be "a bit" warmer for a while now... (if you like to walk on molten rock).

Copernicus are rolling in his grave right now.

 

[Azzy07]

Did that rover just shoot out a laser beam?

 

[Reina4444]

the time needed to kickstart terraforming close to a natural way was about a few billion or a few hundred million years?
guess theyre speedrunning it with anime logic.
and poor rover-kun faces his annihilation again. whoever is driving should try to write a message in the sand.

more importantly, the probe!

Dude, everyone at NASA/JAXA saw Lilith stripped her clothes off and her tits

 

[servbotx]

I can't believe Ganyu is fucking dead.

 

[razorshaleh]

Crazy Logic, but i like it because can drop its satellites

Spoiler: Next chapter

Thanks for translating

 

[ShiitakeCat]

Thanks for picking this up!

Quite a lot bigger than Pallas but quite a lot smaller than Pluto, tbf. That looks like a close to 1000 km diameter, given Mars as a whole is 6.8 thousand km.

Let's be charitable when the results don't end up something close to a post-Thea-impact Earth, with a debris ring condensing into a new moon. When we see something more like a new Hellas Planitia crater, we can just say the illustration was a serious exaggeration.

It would be quite big impact, anyhow. Phobos is quite a lot larger than the Chicxulub impactor. I think around 2.5x the diameter?

 

[dimox]

I think around 2.5x the diameter?

Sounds about right, though the kinetic energy is more important than the impactors mass. But you are right about the size of that thing... I think Ceres would be more fitting given the scale. Anyhow, an impact on that level would blow away the crust of the northern hemisphere and mess up the mantle (more than it already is). It's not on the level of the Borealis impact from some billion years ago but the effects would be just as apocalyptic.

tldr: don't drop dwarf planets on Mars. Bad!

so stupid , it's actually fun



MOREEEEE

Is this elon musk wet dream ???

I love this so much. It's paying lip service to science while patching all gaps with dumb as nails magic. Like that rover should have a lot of transmission issues if it doesn't have a magic backup to the Deep Space Network that can work in lava tubes or cleanly switch when that poor orbiter overhead got splatted.

The books are implying alternate history that gives a lot of leeway for how Earth institutions actually work, and their magic tech levels. I resent the weird scaling and impact location for the anomalously accelerated moons but other than that tolerable issues.

There's got to be a better reason for isolating these two demons, who seem like decent (callous cannibalistic) people among more monstrous monsters. The powerful queen and her les pal are a great investment for interplanetary colonization though! It's convenient they've considered this before, maybe someone hoped Lilith's special interests would be useful. I'm engaged enough with the science and the drone and yuri gags that I could go for dozens more chapters of this problem solving before the Earth plot its hyping up... so I somehow doubt it will last but I've high hopes for where it goes from here.

I'm rambling but it's unhinged characters doing glorious things that any powerful mage (or I guess Arakoan mutant empire in Marvel comics) should seriously consider. Unless they've the budget for terraforming Venus instead (a much closer Earth analogue even with airships).

There's a lot of options to speed up terraforming, as this is nothing close to a natural way, and there is no non-destructive or perfect way. The Case For Mars and its updates is already optimistic but worldwrecking speedruns can go faster. As soon as you somehow heat up the place and get into the global mudslide era, it's halfway habitable with what we're recognizing about the unexpected sources of volatiles on Mars. Longer timeframes matter if you want landscapes to not crumble and slough into a mess or are considering import or industrial budgets.

• If enough energy is brought to bear for rapid warming, the first issue is cooling it back down. "Enough energy" as in widespread liquification/sublimation, y'know glassing a whole planetary surface. That's definitely getting handwaved here, maybe turning thermal excess into yummy magic.
• The second issue is sustaining the desired energy fluxes on short and long timescales, like not having permafrost and 'rust' eat up all the volatiles again. Even if we can't handwave that here, the characters have zero stake in longterm planning rn and can leave it to whoever tries to stabilize it. Geomagnetic fields, do they taste good, can they eat it? Nope. That's a JAXA issue.

For comparison the fastest unnatural method is just cover areas with sheeting or domes and bring in a heat source. In a lot of regions that's adequate. That gets around the moons, aquifers, and dry ice not having enough volatiles for a full atmosphere. It's not just thawing, though, since you need the iron-related compounds basically altered or smelted to get more air volume or a breathable air ratio. With magic involved I'm treating the unnatural methods as similar to inelegant psuedo/para-terraforming instead of serious longterm global terraforming.

We can ignore the size of the moons in the impact image, maybe pretend that's the shockwave, but at least the energy can be excused by Lilith adding a lot of force to the equation. Many times the orbital energy. On the bright side, an oblique impact could organize the mantle into a useful flow (not to the point of magnetic fields but volcanic eruptions are useful). The die is cast, let's see how they solve the new problems they create.

atleast according to doom 3, the long gone martians race there have recordings about how they also, accidently/on purpose, summon demons and have their doom slayer clean it up. they said that doom slayer is a recurring event in case of demonic invasion to the world
