A classic question:

Suppose a bacterium split into two every twenty-five minutes, reproducing continuously and never dying. How long would it take to fill the Earth?

The answer was fifty-five hours—a little over two days.

Mathematics had a specific term for this: "exponential explosion," used to describe this terrifying pattern of growth, where one became two, two became four, and four became eight.

The reason Earth had not been packed full of bacteria was that bacteria died, nutrients were limited, and other organisms ate them.

But on Mars...

Gun was difficult to kill.

Nutrients were abundant.

Most crucially, no other living creature would eat Gun!

Gun was the only living thing on Mars—the ruler of Mars!

In just one week, Gun's green had spread from the rocket's crash site to cover one-sixth of Mars!

If not for the effects of terrain and wind, it would have expanded even faster.

Even so, its reproductive speed was already terrifying!

Several major spacefaring nations had deployed satellites around Mars, and without question, all of them had noticed the green expanse.

After all, the green area was far too vast. Unless the satellites were blind, there was no way they could have missed it.

The media obtained satellite images and rushed to put them on their front pages, reporting on it in huge spreads!

<Mars develops massive green coverage, occupying one-sixth of its total surface area!>

<Bizarre astronomical event: Mars has "turned green"!>

Mars explodes into green!

<International astronomical organizations prepare to convene a conference to discuss the cause of Mars turning green!>

As the news continued to spread and more netizens learned of it, some people began to realize something.

Speculation began appearing across the internet in every country at once:

"Could Chen Zhao be behind this?"

"The timing is suspicious! Mars had
