Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones

For Earth, water is the source of life. For Venus, water is a deadly poison.

At this moment, with the addition of over two trillion tons of water, Tom observed that the average temperature of Venus's atmosphere had increased by more than 10 degrees Celsius.

Compared to Venus's original temperature of over 400 degrees Celsius, this number might seem low, but just as a mere two or three degree Celsius increase in Earth's average temperature signifies immense changes, this 10-degree Celsius temperature increase means almost world-altering changes for Venus.

At this moment, on the surface of Venus.

The originally barren, desolate, and hellish land of Venus was now covered with dense, endless clusters of buildings.

These building clusters were typically constructed off the ground. They were supported by specialized metal pillars, with the buildings themselves elevated several meters above the surface.

Lava flowed freely beneath the buildings, while busy and massive industrial production took place within the building clusters above.

Countless fully enclosed pipelines, also supported by metal pillars, stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers, crisscrossing each other like a giant net, covering almost the entire surface of Venus.

An endless stream of materials and personnel conveniently transported within these pipelines.

Through these buildings and pipelines, the Bluetoth had constructed a completely enclosed and isolated second world on the hellish planet of Venus.

At this moment, at a certain pipeline intersection.

Beneath the thick cloud cover, visibility was only a few tens of meters. Above was a gray sky, and below was hot lava.

A strong gust of wind suddenly arose.

The gas, so dense it was almost visible to the naked eye, surged like a flood.

Due to its higher density, the wind on Venus, at the same speed, could possess a hundred times more power than on Earth.

Thus, these intricate pipelines began to sway slightly, emitting creaking sounds.

The Bluetoth working within them were accustomed to this.

Over the past years, such incidents happened frequently, and they had long grown used to them.

But this time seemed different. This time, the shaking of the pipelines seemed to be growing more violent.

The Bluetoth exchanged glances, stopping their work in unison.

The wind grew stronger. At the same time, many gray-black liquids, like raindrops, fell from the sky.

Sulfuric acid rain!

Sulfuric acid rain was also extremely common on Venus and was nothing unusual. It was just that this time, the sulfuric acid rain seemed more intense than before.

Numerous highly corrosive sulfuric acid raindrops fell on the pipelines, and with their stronger corrosive properties than before, they reacted wildly with the materials that made up the pipelines.

Strong winds, sudden rain.

Suddenly, an unprecedented strong vibration permeated all surrounding pipelines. People finally panicked and began to flee in all directions.

But it was too late.

Countless crisscrossing pipelines collapsed simultaneously, and the scorching atmosphere of Venus instantly surged into the previously sealed pipelines, taking away people's lives in an instant.

Countless bodies lay scattered, or plunged into the lava lake along with the pipelines, or were carbonized by the high temperature.

Due to the lack of oxygen, they couldn't even burn.

In a certain Venusian canyon, within a spacious, purely black-toned room.

Chief Haiwei sat at his desk, staring blankly at the documents before him.

Another disaster.

On Venus, the number of such disasters was actually quite high, occurring frequently. But… as that hateful opponent continuously added water to Venus's atmosphere, leading to an increasingly deteriorating environment on Venus, such disasters became more and more frequent.

The secretary stood respectfully in front, saying, "Chief, recently, various departments have received over a billion applications to transfer from the surface of Venus to work in space.

Furthermore, complaints about insufficient air conditioning and cooling power, deteriorating living conditions, and inadequate food supply are also increasing.

We have reason to believe that the deterioration of the environment… has affected our entire system."

Haiwei sighed softly.

He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Beyond the huge floor-to-ceiling window was a hot, desolate, and dead world.

In this world, lava flowed, acid rain raged, and extreme high temperatures could instantly kill any life.

Inside the floor-to-ceiling window, the temperature was suitable, and the environment was comfortable.

One floor-to-ceiling window separated two worlds.

After a moment of contemplation, Haiwei finally made a decision.

"I will deliver a public address."

"Yes."

A few hours later, Chief Haiwei's figure appeared before every citizen.

"...

Although the environment is continuously deteriorating, our Bluetoth Civilization cannot be overthrown, cannot be defeated.

The ultimate victory will surely belong to us. All that is required of us now is to remain here, continue to hold our posts, and continue to produce supplies for the front lines.

Once we defeat our opponent, the entire solar system will belong to us!

..."

A passionate speech, a call from the esteemed Haiwei, immediately stabilized the increasingly unstable situation of the entire Bluetoth Civilization.

The secretary looked at Chief Haiwei with reverence.

Throughout the history of the civilization, only Chief Haiwei could possess such high prestige…

Under the leadership of Chief Haiwei, our Bluetoth Civilization will surely win this war!

Time continued to pass quietly, and in a blink of an eye, several more years went by.

The internal situation, which had previously calmed down, showed signs of turmoil again. In the past, Chief Haiwei only needed to step forward, deliver a speech, and make a call to restore calm.

But over these years, the effectiveness of these methods had greatly diminished.

Chief Haiwei had to appear in public more frequently, striving to maintain the situation.

But at this moment, Chief Haiwei realized that he probably couldn't hold on much longer.

The entire civilization couldn't hold on either.

With the addition of more and more water, the environment of Venus had become too harsh, so harsh that it was almost unbearable.

He sent an order to General Harrier on the front lines.

"Within one month, launch a full-scale offensive, initiate a decisive battle. No matter what, defeat the opponent within one month.

We don't seek to completely annihilate the opponent, only to capture Earth.

No matter what… we must capture Earth!"

If they captured Earth, they could relocate there.

You can worsen the environment of Venus by delivering water, but Earth doesn't have that concern!

As long as they could capture Earth, their situation would instantly turn around!

Looking at this order from the Chief, Harrier's expression was solemn.

This was not a good time to launch a decisive battle.

But he understood that the civilization… truly couldn't wait any longer.

Life and death, it all depended on this battle.
