Chapter 2054: Venus II

Why is it so hard to believe that no one notices that Venus is being terraformed with no one noticing?

After all, the World Government, the Republic, the League of Freedom and Pandemonium all have space installation.

World Government might have scaled down their exploration of the universe and focused more on Earth right now, but they still have a couple of base in moon and they have their satellite probe all over the Moon and the surrounding asteroid belts.

The Republics also have their own space station set up and they have their Universal Force stationed on these space station.

It is more like a space base then it is a space station.

And even Pandemonium has presence in the star. One of the largest producers of Battlestar in the world is Pandemonium.

This have something to do with Budiman innovation of Battlestar construction making it easier to build and a veritable weapon to use even against Disk Formation realm leveler.

It could also be used as a hub and could be used as a planet. The limit of a Battlestar simply is based on the resources to build it.

If you have enough resources, you could built a Battlestar the size of a planet.

Other world powers also have Battlestar but it is said that Pandemonium have the most powerful and most sophisticated Battlestar

Any of them should have realized something is happening in Venus. But none of them noticed.

Yes, Venus is far.

But what is happening in Venus right now should alarm everyone.

And it should have been discovered.

But no one discovered what is happening to Venus right now.

And what is actually happening in Venus?

It is being terraformed.

And this kind of terraforming exceed everything the Earth knows about terraforming.

If any of the world powers could see what is now being done to Venus, they would notice that this is a new kind of method.

A faster and more efficient and safer way to terraform worlds.

Whoever did it, had married cosmic scale technology with arcane forces

There is gravity anchors all over Venus.

This anchor itself is invisible.

The anchor is plastered with runes and symbols. Making it unable to be detected.

This gravity anchor is not something new.

Every world powers knows how to build it. But this one....this one in Venus is different. It pierces the core of Venus.

A massive planetary scale Aetheric Siphon.

This device is even more adept and venting the gravitational mass into pocket dimensions

It is a blend of dark energy and gravity altering runes added with some kind of magical mineral.

No one notice it but because of this Aetheric Siphon the surface gravity in Venus is already stable.

Of course, there is still some defect.

If you step off the designated terraformed plates or if a siphon fails, the localized gravity snaps back to its true, bone-crushing reality.

But it would not be long now before the Aetheric Siphon would be smaller and would be more efficient and probably would not be such an eyesore.

Right now, it surpasses even the largest mountain on Earth in size and heights.

And the gravity is not the only thing that had changed.

And this is just common sense.

The reason why Venus is uninhabitable before the Fall and hard to create a functioning city in it after the Fall, had nothing much to do with gravity

After the Fall, those who reach Disk Formation realm could even stay in Venus and other than some discomfort, they would not be subjected to some other mortal worries like the gravity is too heavy for them or it is hard for them to breathe

But it is the other things that made it hard for anyone to try to inhabit Venus

There is also the atmosphere.

Venus has a surface pressure ninety-two times that of Earth, give or take.

And it rains sulfuric acid.

Even if you somehow manage to come down here, it would not be an easy place to live.

No, it is an impossible place to live.

And now scaling that surface pressure by a thousand time creates an atmosphere thick enough to choke a star.

But there is a tech here.

A tech no world powers notice.

The Frostfire Veil. A Giant orbital planetary rings.

It acts as molecular scrubbers, physically pulling carbon and sulphur from the sky.

Added to it, is time magic.

Chronomancy as some put it.

It is woven into the rings.

The upper clouds are locked in a perpetual temporal loop, forcing toxic gasses to rapidly transmute into harmless nitrogen and water vapor before they can reach the surface.

Of course, time magic is an overkill.

Instead, the chrono magic here is very little.

Time magic after all is always unstable.

And under different circumstances it could even create a singularity that would more problems.

There is also a floating mineral inside the rings.

These rings absorbs any of the poisonous air and also thin the atmosphere enough for it to be breathable.

Sooner or later, the time essence in the ring would expired.

At that time however, whoever created this structure probably already have a countermeasure

Then there is the Helios Wards.

As the name suggested, it is something to do with the sun.

Venus is closer to the Sun than Earth, and as such a giant Venus would catch an immense amount of solar radiation.

Even more so when the Sun itself become even bigger yet somehow retains its nurturing capabilities to support life.

However, for Venus, it causes the oceans to boil.

The beings who built all of this stuff also create something called the Helios Wards.

A network of Magical Solar Eclipsers mass-manufactured orbital mirrors inscribed with photon-deflecting geometry floating between Venus and the Sun.

They reduce the incoming sunlight to Earth like levels, casting beautiful, shimmering geometric shadows across the massive sky.

The ecosystems of this plant had also changes

The ocean particularly.

After the planet become a thousand times larger there is deep ocean trenches where the original sulfuric atmosphere was condensed into liquid.

As for continent, there is massive red soled landmasses rich in basalt and iron.

The occasional meteorites that fall before the defence could be built also added more iron and other space particles into the planet

The rivers are so massive they look like moving seas, carving paths across thousands of miles.

All of this is maintained and transformed by the Magitech. With the Magitech, the water is bound by water elemental matrices

With the Magitech, it continuously purify the water into fresh water.

Nanite swarms chew the rock into fertile soil while some earth magic help rapid terraforming.

Terraforming soils and the atmosphere with a planet this big would take tens of thousands of years and even millions of years

However, whoever set up this Magitech on Venus had done it quickly.

If they, did it at the beginning of Venus expansion, then it only around ten years or so.

It is possible to do it after the expansion.

Because if they, did it before the expansion, the calculation would be off.

Which means, the terraforming has only been going on for either ten years or below ten years.

As for the rivers that was so big it looks like moving seas, to prevent it from flooding, there is magical leylines guiding the water.

Is that all?

No, whoever built all of this structure in Venus also solve the sky.

The day night cycle of Venus

Venus rotates incredibly slowly.

A single day on Venus last two hundred and forty-three Earth days, give or take. And it spins backward

Now that it has become a thousand time larger this differences is only exacerbated.

It could mean months of freezing darkness followed by months of scorching daylight.

With such disadvantage any farming, or any idea of making a civilization here would be dashed.

There is the Illusionary Meridian.

Since one can’t easily spin a Jupiter-sized rocky planet faster without ripping it apart, the people who created this structure use massive orbital arrays to project a shifting magical "night" and "day" shield across the atmosphere.

The sky doesn’t change because the planet turned; it changes because the techno-magical shield turned off the sunlight on a perfect twenty-four-hour cycle.

Most of the time it is forty-two-hour cycle.

This however has a trace of being a temporary measure.

Probably when there is civilization in here, this method would be changed into a more solid method and a more viable method

All of this is surprising.

Not only because the amount of tech, or the sophistication of it.

But also, because....all of this are massive structure.

If you look at it near the planet...no...even if you simply sent a probe there, even before they enter the atmosphere, you would see the changes of Venus.

It is like one could see that Earth is blue from the Moon.

One could also see that Venus is appearing to be like Earth.

There is probably many other techs there that supported all of these massive structure.

Because right now, if you look from space, you could see blue oceans and green

And I you landed on Venus, you could see that not only it has water, it now has forest.

Tall forest.

It is almost like you are travelling back to Earth when dinosaur roamed that Earth

And you might think that this planet is empty.

After all life is different in Venus.

There is bacteria and there is life. Just not life that humans are used to

The life here refers to the microbials.

The life referred by humans are either insects or animals or even beings like them.

But there is no such life in Venus before.
