La Barrera

Antes de ser terraformado, Palas era un planeta donde predominaban las bajas temperaturas, aunque en su ecuador llegaban a los 280 grados Kelvin, por en general, en el resto del planeta no superaban los 273, por lo que la superficie de su océano permanecía en gran parte congelada, al estar en el extremo exterior de la zona de habitabilidad, no recibía suficiente radiación de su estrella.

Para cambiar esto fue necesario incorporar grandes cantidades de dióxido de carbono a su atmosfera, para aumentar el efecto invernadero. En la medida que se incrementaba la temperatura, los hielos eternos empezaron a derretirse incrementando el nivel del mar a la vez que se incrementó la dinámica atmosférica, con vientos más intensos que ocasionaban grandes tormentas con violentos oleajes, para contribuir a la seguridad de las ciudades, que serían construidas en la zona costera, se desarrolló un gigantesco muro que servía para reducir el oleaje en las costa y evitar inundaciones.

La construcción del muro fue realizada por máquinas automatizadas que eran dirigidas desde la órbita por una estación de control, tripulada por unos pocos humanos. El principal riesgo para la construcción de este muro, fueron los icebergs, que se desprendían constantemente de la capa de hielo en reducción.

Los icebergs eran guiados por la corriente a la zona donde era construido el muro y podían destruir lo construido retrasando el trabajo, por lo que se habilitaron varios medios para prevenirlos, desde reducir su tamaño reflejando sobre ellos la radiación de la estrella, desde espejos en órbita estacionaria, pasando por destruirlos con torpedos de plasma, hasta desviar su curso a regiones donde no representaran ningún riesgo.

En muchas ocasiones estas grandes masas de hielo impactaron la barrera, sin embargo, fueron pocas las veces en que tuvieron algún efecto sobre ella, dañándola sólo en aquellas zonas donde aún no estaba del todo completada y era vulnerable, por lo general terminaban quedando retenidos por ella derritiéndose durante varios meses, hasta desaparecer. En algunas ocasiones llegaron incluso a acumularse varios y formar una segunda barrera, un muro de hielo que debía ser reducido, calentándolo, para evitar que siguiera creciendo.

The Barrier

Before being terraformed, Palas was a planet where low temperatures predominated, although in its equator they reached 280 degrees Kelvin, in general, in the rest of the planet they did not exceed 273 degrees, so that the surface of its ocean remained largely frozen, as it was at the outer edge of the habitable zone, it did not receive enough radiation from its star.

To change this it was necessary to incorporate large amounts of carbon dioxide into its atmosphere, to increase the greenhouse effect. As the temperature increased, the eternal ice began to melt, increasing the sea level at the same time that the atmospheric dynamics increased, with more intense winds that caused great storms with violent waves, to contribute to the security of the cities that would be built in the coastal zone, a gigantic wall was developed that served to reduce the waves in the coast and to avoid floods.

The construction of the wall was carried out by automated machines that were controlled from orbit by a control station, manned by a few humans. The main risk for the construction of this wall was the icebergs, which were constantly detached from the shrinking ice sheet.

The icebergs were guided by the current to the area where the wall was built and could destroy what was built by delaying the work, so several means were enabled to prevent them, from reducing their size reflecting on them the radiation of the star, from mirrors in stationary orbit, destroying them with plasma torpedoes, to divert their course to regions where they did not pose any risk.

On many occasions these large masses of ice impacted the barrier, however, were few times that they had any effect on it, damaging it only in those areas where it was not yet fully completed and was vulnerable, usually ended up being held by it melting for several months, until disappearing. On some occasions they even accumulated several and formed a second barrier, an ice wall that had to be reduced, heating it, to prevent it from growing further.
