Crash

After saying that, Chen Zhao bent down and pulled a large glass tank out from beneath the table.

The glass tank had already been filled with a thick layer of sand and soil.

"I'm using this tank to simulate the surface of Mars," Chen Zhao explained.

Chen Zhao then took out a small jar, used tweezers to pick a silvery-white ball from it, and stuffed it into the sand inside the glass tank.

Then, Chen Zhao placed the glass tank on the table beside him, picked up a bottle of mineral water, and began pouring it in.

"Please note, it's starting to rain now," Chen Zhao said.

The moment Chen Zhao finished speaking, there was a loud bang! A crack split across the glass tank!

A wisp of smoke rose up.

"What I just buried in the sand was a small sodium ball." Facing the camera, Chen Zhao began explaining, "Metals like sodium explode and burn when they come into contact with water."

"My hypothesis is that Mars's soil contains large quantities of metals like sodium and zinc."

"These metals had originally remained safely within the strata, harmless and quiet."

"But after Gun covered the surface of Mars, things began to change. Water vapor filled the air, and clouds fell as rain."

"When metals like sodium and zinc in the strata were watered by the rain, those near the surface immediately exploded, creating that dense gunfire-like noise. Those deeper down bulged into volcanoes and erupted under immense pressure."

As Chen Zhao said this, the viewers in the livestream went wild!

"Holy shit? Sodium and zinc explode in water? It's that simple?"

"Aren't volcanoes formed by magma erupting from deep underground?"

"I thought it'd be something profound. The principle is this elementary? Middle school chemistry?"

"It feels... like it actually makes
