Chapter 462 Asteroid Impact

Although this is not the power to destroy stars, it is the power to destroy the world.

Because of the smooth strategy of the thirteenth planet, humans do not need to mine resources on this planet for the time being, so this orbital bombing can be said to be unscrupulous.

Countless large-caliber electromagnetic railguns shot out from the muzzle, and then exceeded their original speed limit under the blessing of the planet's gravity. Then you can see that these shells, due to the conservation of angular momentum, draw arcs over the planet and then dive into the target location.

The kinetic energy of the shells themselves plus the acceleration of gravity make each shell have a power greater than a large-yield hydrogen bomb when it hits the ground.

Not long after, the original ground could no longer be seen from space with an optical telescope. Because the bombing of three million search warships was too frequent, countless electromagnetic railgun shells and invisible laser energy columns, like rain from the sky, were ravaging the surface of this planet all the time.

Those land-based turrets with magnetic field shields and polarization shields were directly blasted by such intensive attacks, and then turned into hot lava under the irradiation of hundreds or thousands of laser energy columns.

As the bombing progressed, the dust on the ground even spread to the low-Earth orbit.

At this time, the scene of laser weapon shooting that people usually imagine appeared. The tiny dust has a scattering effect on light, so when the dust spreads to the Golden Earth orbit, the traces of laser weapons fired by humans from above the orbit can be seen.

For a moment, the scene seemed to become a picture of lightsabers and interlaced light columns. In a trance, the surface of the planet seemed to have become a dance hall, and the light columns shot by humans seemed to have become the colorful splendor in the dance hall. At this moment, the world was like a silent symphony.

However, in this "dance hall", there were no skirts of graceful dancers, nor graceful and moving figures, only endless flying earth and rocks, endless lava splashing, and endless mushroom clouds rising.

After several rounds of orbital bombardment, the resistance on the surface of the planet was much smaller, and only occasionally a few laser weapons with traces were seen irradiating into space. All the buildings that could be seen on the ground had been destroyed by humans, whether it was a factory or a resource mining station, or a place where people from the interstellar trading market lived, all of them were razed to the ground under several rounds of bombardment by humans.

There is no doubt that in terms of killing, orbital bombing is always more efficient than landing operations, and humans just don’t have the concept of landing operations.

In fact, the interstellar trading market has prepared ground defense forces on this planet. They even equipped their soldiers with extremely excellent individual combat equipment, such as defensive mechas, individual combat energy weapons, and formulated many tactics suitable for ground offensive and defensive battles.

These troops were originally stationed in various strongholds and bases, but they didn’t expect that humans had no intention of landing operations at all, and directly carried out indiscriminate bombing in orbit.

So these preparations became cannon fodder under orbital bombardment. Facing this destructive force, they all died without firing a shot.

But this is not the end. In order to prevent some deep underground bases from surviving. At the instruction of Yue Yuan, the strong artificial intelligence on the Tianqin has already dispatched a group of thrusters equipped with intelligent programs to carry out another bombing mission.

During the large-scale orbital bombing, Yue Yuan noticed the situation in the orbit near the planet. Through the detector, he found that there were some asteroids floating in space there.

So an idea came to his mind. Obviously, Yue Yuan wanted to push one or several asteroids of suitable mass among these asteroids to the twelfth planet.

The idea of ​​pushing asteroids was only an idea in the Earth era, but now humans are already a third-level civilization. The powerful magnetic propulsion technology makes this originally only thinkable thing really easy.

In this way, at the instruction of Yue Yuan, the strong artificial intelligence divided a part of the computing power and dispatched a group of thrusters to the asteroid near the orbit, starting the asteroid collision mission.

There are about three suitable asteroids in the nearby orbit, one with a diameter of about 5 kilometers, one with a diameter of about 9 kilometers, and the last one with a diameter of about 11 kilometers.

At first glance, the smallest asteroid does not seem to be big. After all, the length of Tianqin is five kilometers, but the asteroid is a full entity, unlike Tianqin, which has internal space.

Therefore, its mass is much larger than that of Tianqin, but it is not difficult for humans to push it. Even for the asteroid with a diameter of 11 kilometers, it only requires humans to get more thrusters.

When these three asteroids were pushed from outer space to the planet, the personnel remaining in the underground base on the planet knew that they were really going to play.

Pushing asteroids to hit planets requires accurate collision positions. This is a technical job that cannot be done without rich orbital bombing technology. It just so happens that after the previous bombing experiments and the actual hands-on operation, humans have all kinds of parameters.

So people can see such a scene.

Three asteroids of different masses came to different orbital heights of the planet under the push of magnetic thrusters installed by humans. Then, in order to ensure the accuracy of the collision, humans added several more thrusters for fine-tuning the orbit around the asteroids.

For example, the largest asteroid has hundreds of thrusters on it.

Then, after rigorous scientific calculations, the three asteroids began to orbit the planet from their respective orbits, and then lowered their orbits at the appropriate time, and finally drew a hot arc visible to the naked eye above the planet and fell down.

At this moment, it seemed that three scorching suns appeared above the planet, as if three suns were in the sky, and the hot light illuminated the entire planet like daylight.

It is true that the twelfth planet has no atmosphere, but the dust that was previously bombed by humans did not fall to the ground, so after the three asteroids rubbed against them, a magnificent scene of world destruction appeared.

After the three huge mushroom clouds rose, the earth cracked again, and the crust trembled again. The core of the planet, which had already begun to be silent, stimulated its internal power under the impact of these three asteroids.

As a result, the mantle under the crust also cracked, and the hot magma of the uncooled outer core under the mantle surged upward along these cracks. Soon after, the earth appeared red windings, as if red snakes were extending there.

These winding red snakes gathered together, and then the volcanoes on the surface of the planet that had been dormant for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years came back to life.
