A few hours later.
[Warning!] [200 kilometers to target!] [Deceleration sequence initiated!]
The alerts on the Holographic Image snapped Bart to attention.
For the Hummingbird Starship, 200 kilometers was an extremely short distance.
Amid the discomfort of deceleration, an asteroid with a pitted surface and a faint metallic sheen appeared before Bart.
It was only half the size of Psyche, and its surface was nowhere near as metallic.
"One, initiate the landing sequence."
Bart straightened, his gaze fixed on the "hideous-looking" asteroid before him.
According to Professor Lü's instructions, he needed to land on this asteroid and analyze its internal composition.
Under One's control, the Hummingbird Starship gradually slowed and approached the asteroid.
Inside the main conference room of Mars City One.
The moment the connection was established, the asteroid's true appearance came into view before everyone.
The Hummingbird Starship slowly settled onto its surface.
As the nano-robots deployed, rows of precise data appeared before Lü Yongchang.
"30% iron and nickel, and 50% rock..." Lü Yongchang rested his chin in his hand and nodded thoughtfully.
A few minutes later, the data transmission was complete.
"Professor Lü?" Albert looked nervously at Lü Yongchang from across the conference table. "Can Mars withstand an impact from this asteroid?"
The question made Lü Yongchang pause.
Then he gave Albert an odd look. "Councillor Albert, I can guarantee that Mars can absolutely withstand an impact from this asteroid."
As he spoke, Lü Yongchang turned and gave Zero's virtual avatar a meaningful glance.
In the Holographic Image above the conference table, an asteroid hurtled straight toward Mars.
"Of course, we certainly can't withstand an impact from this asteroid." Lü Yongchang shrugged. "This is a simulation calculated by Zero."
As his words fell, the asteroid made "intimate contact" with Mars in the projection.
