Because of their extremely low density, these molecular clouds were completely invisible to the naked eye. Only through large-scale, holistic observations could their existence be detected.

But both sides were well aware of the impact they could have.

Under these circumstances, in addition to enduring Tom's defense and breaking the water spheres to deplete them as much as possible, the Bluetoth also employed a second countermeasure.

Tom clearly saw that when the first batch of molecular clouds reached Venus, the side of Venus facing Earth instantly erupted with countless dazzling flashes of fire.

Violent energy and extremely high heat instantly swept across all tangible and intangible existences around the epicenter.

That was the most powerful weapon for both warring parties: large-yield hydrogen bombs.

Numerous hydrogen bombs formed the final barrier preventing these water molecule clouds from entering Venus.

Under the powerful radiation pressure of the hydrogen bombs, these molecular clouds scattered instantly like cotton wool in a strong wind. A significant portion had their trajectories directly altered, changing from entering Venus to merely grazing past it.

But...

Even the most powerful weapon, the hydrogen bomb, could only rely on radiation pressure to disperse molecular clouds.

And the radiation pressure a hydrogen bomb could release was minuscule, almost negligible, compared to the sun.

These molecular clouds had already withstood the sun's radiation pressure. Now, having finally arrived near Venus, how could a few hydrogen bombs completely disperse them?

Many, many water molecules were driven away and failed to enter Venus. But even more water molecules were unaffected by these hydrogen bombs, still silently merging into Venus's extremely dry atmosphere, quietly altering its material structure.

Although the hydrogen bombs' effect was limited, the Bluetoth still did not abandon this method.

After all, this was one of only two ways to prevent the water molecule clouds from entering Venus. Even if it could only drive away a small portion, any extra time gained was enough.

Thus, the Bluetoth continued to detonate tens of thousands of large-yield hydrogen bombs outside Venus's atmosphere, on average, every day.

One hydrogen bomb after another was detonated, as if an unprecedented fireworks display was being held on Venus.

Time flowed by quietly.

Tom could clearly perceive that the Bluetoth's attacks were becoming increasingly fierce.

The supply of resources from Venus and the replenishment of new warships and unmanned combat equipment also became faster and more numerous.

But no matter what, Tom firmly defended Earth, ensuring that the space elevators could operate normally.

Two years had passed.

These space elevators had been operating for two years.

During this period, over 100 space elevators were destroyed by the Bluetoth.

Under intense bombardment, they were directly severed in the middle.

Deprived of the space elevator's terminal traction, the lower half of the space elevator irreversibly began to fall toward Earth under Earth's gravity. Eventually, like a long whip from space, it violently lashed down onto Earth.

Mountains were directly split in half by these extremely heavy and tough space elevator cables, which contained immense kinetic energy, causing countless rocks to collapse.

Great rivers were directly cut off by this lashing, their banks collapsing, and countless floods began to rage.

Even the ocean, due to this lashing, directly triggered tsunamis, with endless seawater surging onto the continents.

But... over 100 space elevators were destroyed, yet Tom built over 100 more in return!

Destroying on one side, building on the other, under Tom's powerful industrial strength, the total number of space elevators consistently remained at 1,000, and sometimes, when built too quickly, the number would even exceed that!

No matter what, the work of transporting water to space never stopped.

Thus, in two years, Tom transported a total of approximately 2.6 trillion tons of water into space.

This is roughly equivalent to transporting the entire water volume of 26 Qinghai Lakes into space!

After accounting for losses, the estimated amount of water delivered to Venus in the form of molecular clouds had already exceeded two trillion tons!

Currently, these two trillion tons of water were triggering a series of reactions on Venus.

The first impact was caused by the intense friction between the water molecule clouds and Venus's atmosphere.

These water molecule clouds from Earth possessed extremely high relative velocities. Upon entering Venus's atmosphere, these water molecules would be violently decelerated by the Venusian atmosphere.

Deceleration meant friction, and it was clear that friction generated heat.

Thus, through continuous friction, a large amount of heat was generated, making Venus's already scorching atmosphere even hotter.

But this was not the end; it was merely the beginning.

Venus's atmosphere was extremely dry, with a water content of only about 1 part in 200,000, countless times drier than Earth's deserts.

Its main component was carbon dioxide, making up as much as 96.5%. And carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.

This massive amount of carbon dioxide acted like a thick blanket covering Venus, preventing its heat from radiating away, which is why its surface temperature was so high.

With a large amount of water molecules added to Venus's atmosphere, once pressure was restored, they would exist as water vapor at extremely high temperatures.

And... water vapor is also a powerful greenhouse gas.

Its effect is no weaker than that of carbon dioxide!

Adding water to Venus's atmosphere is equivalent to adding another blanket to Venus, on top of the original carbon dioxide blanket, providing even stronger insulation!

Venus would get hotter!

But this was also not the end.

Venus's atmosphere contained many sulfuric acids. They even condensed into sulfuric acid clouds, floating in Venus's atmosphere.

Due to the lack of water, these sulfuric acids were highly concentrated.

The addition of water would dilute the concentrated sulfuric acid. And, clearly, the process of concentrated sulfuric acid becoming dilute sulfuric acid... also releases heat.

Heat generated by friction, the double blanket formed by carbon dioxide and water vapor, plus the heat released by the dilution of sulfuric acid—with these three combined, to what extent would Venus's temperature rise?

But this was also not the end. The replenishment of a large amount of water would also trigger a series of other changes.

With the replenishment of water, sulfuric acid rain on Venus would become more frequent. Imagine, dilute sulfuric acid pouring down like a torrential rain, covering every corner of Venus's surface—what a scene that would be!

Furthermore, sufficient water replenishment would make Venus's atmosphere denser and atmospheric pressure higher. At the same time, Venus also has lightning, and with water, thunderstorms would become more frequent.

Then, changes in atmospheric pressure would also affect Venus's already extremely unstable geology. The already frequent volcanic earthquakes would become even more frequent...

Venus's surface environment would no longer be hell, but purgatory!

This series of changes occurred simply because Venus's atmosphere gained water!
