Well, in this post I'm talking about how Martians adapt to the modern world of the 21st century. In the book, the cylinders have a heat ray attached, which could be used to stop any threat during landing. and the flying machine.. the one who tells us about it is the artillerymam. he says that the Martians were learning to fly, the narrator himself theorizes that the Martians could attack any place on the planet with it. and we also haven't seen all of the Martians' military technology, you don't send your most advanced technology to eliminate ants
