Feilbolai saw Dean of Academic Affairs Fair Connie and immediately knelt on one knee: "I am overstepping my bounds, allowing the director to come personally. I am willing to surrender."
Fair Connie quickly waved her hand: "Get up. We are all Martians, let's not fight among ourselves anymore."
Standing beside them, Command Ship Feir Yous grumbled, "If it weren't for Auntie, I would really want to strike you down with one blow."
"Uncle Yous," the girl said, "don't blame Feilbolai. His brain is under the control of Belche. This time we must send him to a government hospital for a thorough examination and remove the Controller implanted in his brain by Belche. We need to prevent any future incidents."
Subsequently, Feilbolai was escorted into another mech and sent to the hospital of the Mars United Government for treatment as requested by the Chairman.
Fair Connie said to Feir Yous: "Fair City has been liberated, Mars has been unified, and our mission now is to build a stronger Mars. I am going to outer space to check on the standoff between Mars Base and the Capricorn Mother Ship. This time we must drive the Capricornian out completely so they can no longer threaten Mars."
After saying this, she boarded the Command Ship and flew towards outer space.

Upon arriving at Mars Base, Fair Connie listened carefully to the report from Kairuot. After analysis, she finally decided: "We cannot go easy on the Capricorn Mother Ship. We must use the latest weapons to scare them so they will never dare to offend us again. The further we drive them away, the better."
Following the instructions of the Chairman, the entire base actively prepared for a full-scale battle against the Capricorn Mother Ship. Before the battle, Mars Base sent a video through quantum communication to the Capricorn Mother Ship, announcing that Mars had unified and that aliens should not fantasize about invading Mars again. The powerful Mars Force would ensure that aliens would not return.
Seeing the video of Mars' unification, Belche felt uneasy. His carefully crafted plan over a hundred years had completely fallen apart. His Capricorn Planet had been destroyed, and millions of lives were lost at the hands of the Martians. He was now homeless. He vowed to erase the Martians from existence in the universe.
Through this period of fighting with Mars Base, he realized that the Martians were becoming stronger. The new weapons produced by the base made him feel overwhelmed; if he engaged in a direct confrontation with them now, he would only suffer losses. However, he knew that at this stage, the Mars United Government had no way to deal with his massive Mother Ship, which was equivalent to a moving city containing everything needed, with a population of hundreds of thousands. His Capricorn was slightly larger than Mars Base, with a more powerful propulsion system; in a one-on-one fight, they should be evenly matched.
The only thing that scared Belche was that after Mars' unification, its national strength would rapidly increase. Once strong enough, the Martians would definitely not let him go. Feeling frightened at this thought, he hurriedly took a password box from his safe. He quickly opened it; inside was an ancient-looking computer with a row of numeric keys and a rotating switch. He immediately turned on the switch, and a screen appeared on the lid displaying several lines of text: The nuclear button has been activated. Then a line of warning text appeared: [Activate this button with caution; do not activate it lightly unless it is a matter of national survival!]
The text flickered on the screen, catching attention.
Seeing this line of text, Belche hesitated for a moment. He thought, "When the Fair Tribe designed the nuclear launch button, they actually considered the possibility of my descendants causing trouble. Unfortunately, I have control over this nuclear button box, and the fate of the Martians is in my hands. Mars could be destroyed with just a light touch from me; what a pity..."
Just as he was thinking, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sound of artillery fire. He quickly opened the control screen and discovered that mechs flying from Mars and Mars Base were swarming towards his Mother Ship like locusts. Dozens of Command Ships emerged at once, and the powerful Electronic Interference made it difficult for the Mother Ship's defense system to cope.
Fair Connie ordered on the screen for the Mother Ship to leave Mars immediately; otherwise, a full-scale attack would be launched against the Capricorn Mother Ship.
Belche laughed heartily at Fair Connie: "Hahaha, you Martians are about to meet your end and still don't realize it. Just take a look at what I have in my hand."
Belche brought a briefcase in front of the camera and said, "Do you see this? This is the nuclear launch button for detonating Mars. With just a light touch and entering a number, Mars goes boom! You are no match for me. Hahaha!"
Fair Connie asked, "Where did you get that nuclear button box?"
Belche replied, "Of course, it was given to me by you Fair Tribe. Thank you for this great gift."
Fair Connie recognized that nuclear button box and quickly told Belche, "You must not act recklessly; that represents billions of lives."
Belche smiled and said, "Did you not think about our Capricorn Planet's lives when you destroyed it?"
Fair Connie was sweating in her palms, suppressing her anger as she said, "What conditions do you want? We can negotiate."
"What I want may not be something you can give. I want all you Martians to submit to me and forever obey our Capricornians' commands."
"Isn't your condition a bit harsh? Can you propose other terms?" Fei Er Connie asked.
"No! This is my condition! It cannot be changed!" Belche shouted almost hysterically.
Fei Er Connie patiently replied, "Then allow me to discuss with the ministers. I will give you an answer in three hours."
"It can only be one hour. If the time is up, I will press the nuclear detonation button!" Belche yelled.
One hour was too short. Fair Connie immediately ordered all of Mars to enter emergency status, with all personnel moving into the underground nuclear explosion protection shelters. At the same time, they urgently searched for the original designers of the nuclear bomb, determined to dismantle the nuclear device within one hour.
-
The designers were found, and just as the relevant personnel were preparing to dismantle the nuclear device, Belche broke his promise and pressed the nuclear button early, detonating two powerful nuclear bombs secretly installed by Fair Tribe. Instantly, two massive flashes appeared on Mars, followed by two enormous mushroom clouds. The tremendous power of the two nuclear bombs shook both the Capricorn Mother Ship and Mars Base far out in space. From the space base's perspective, the entire surface of Mars was covered in dust; nearly all cities were obliterated, forests vanished, oceans, lakes, and rivers disappeared, and tens of millions of people were lost in an instant... Subsequently, all bodies of water evaporated in an instant, steam being blasted out of Mars' atmosphere and dissipating into the sky. Mars' atmosphere became thin as a result. From then on, Mars would no longer see oceans or lakes; a modernized Mars lay in ruins, uninhabitable for humans—a sight that was heart-wrenching...
Fair Connie cursed at Belche: "Belche! You are untrustworthy; may you suffer a terrible fate!"
Belche laughed heartily: "We are even now. This is your retribution."
After saying this, Belche ordered the Capricorn Mother Ship to accelerate and leave Mars' vicinity immediately.
Mars Base did not pursue; they had many tasks to attend to. They needed to search for survivors in Mars' underground shelters.
A massive rescue operation on Mars had begun.
