If an asteroid with a total mass of up to two quadrillion tons hits the planet H1-2, even if its speed is not very fast, even if it is only 30 kilometers per second, the impact will release up to about 1.8 *10^27 joules of energy!
Such a large amount of energy would require the energy released by the complete annihilation of ten million tons of antimatter and positive matter of the same mass to compare!
Compared with so much energy, what are large-yield anti-matter missiles? Even the largest-yield anti-matter missiles are nothing more than mosquito legs in comparison.
However, even a large-yield anti-matter missile is enough to cause a violent earthquake on the H1-2 planet that affects the whole world and can almost wipe out all underground factories. At this moment, the energy released by such a huge asteroid impact, Not to mention destroying all underground factories.
In fact, that is enough energy to seriously affect the entire planet, with almost the entire outer layer being stripped away, and even a lot of matter flying directly into space, and then recreating an asteroid belt in space!
Moreover, the most serious problem is that once the asteroid is changed in orbit to target the H1-2 planet, and it acquires sufficient speed, it will be almost undefendable.
No weapon in human civilization can do this in a short period of time.
"We must stop them and we must not let this asteroid fall into the hands of the enemy!"
At this moment, Hu Xiaohua was filled with anxiety. But suddenly, he remembered another thing.
Previously, under its own strategic deception, the Storm Civilization made most of its precious resources into small weapons. This directly put them at a disadvantage in the subsequent battle.
Because small and micro weapons are only suitable for targeting small targets, or for defense and interception, they are not suitable for attacking large targets of the opponent.
However, once the enemy's goal changes to "defense with the asteroid as the core and cover the engineering team to construct relevant projects on the asteroid," then the enemy's disadvantage can be eliminated immediately.
They are defending this asteroid! What weapons are they mainly using during defense? Small and micro weapons!
Isn't that just right?
So, under the tight defense of the enemy's hundreds of thousands of warships, our side, our side can really break through their defense line, prevent the enemy from carrying out engineering construction on this asteroid, push the asteroid to change its orbit, and finally Is it the purpose of impacting the planet H1-2?
After thinking about it for a moment, Hu Xiaohua came to a conclusion in despair.
Basically impossible. No, it is absolutely impossible.
"It turns out that there really is a way to 'focus on defensive means and destroy our underground factories'... What a good way. In such a chaotic battlefield and such a chaotic situation, you can actually turn disadvantages into advantages. You are so sharp. aware of and seizing this only opportunity
The tenacity of Storm Civilization exceeded Hu Xiaohua's imagination. The wisdom of the leader of Storm Civilization also exceeded his imagination. "What kind of enemy is this?
Hu Xiaohua looked at General Qin Hu anxiously, and found that General Qin Hu's face was also full of solemnity.
"Order that all mobile fleets immediately attack the Storm Fleet and the asteroid with all their strength, and be sure to prevent the enemy from constructing related projects on the asteroid!"
"yes!'
"Tell the soldiers, it's time to fight
At this moment, the original relaxed atmosphere in the Space Force flagship disappeared instantly. A chilling and heavy atmosphere filled every corner. The originally chaotic battlefield with the h1-2 planet as its core also quickly underwent huge changes.
Countless warships, countless mines, satellites, forts, etc. began to converge on the H1b-1 asteroid. A battlefield with the asteroid as its core quickly formed.
As early as when the main body of the Storm Fleet had just begun to maneuver toward the asteroid, some warships that were already near the asteroid intentionally or unintentionally seized a favorable position in advance. When the human space force sensed something was wrong and tried to blow up the asteroid with a large-yield anti-matter bomb, the storm warships immediately began to protect the asteroid.
There are not many battleships present here in the Storm Fleet at the moment. But the key problem is that there are not many warships and automatic defense weapons on the human side!
When a large number of automatic defense weapons and human warships gathered here later, more storm warships also gathered here.
Everyone has a vague idea that blowing up this asteroid only makes sense when its orbit has not changed. The reason is very complicated. Once it has sufficient speed and the correct orbit, at that time, even if it can be blown into a thousand or ten thousand pieces, what is the point?
The impact energy depends on the mass, not how many pieces it is divided into. And if it can be blown to pieces here, facing the chaos of small pieces of asteroids, the difficulty of construction of the storm civilization will skyrocket, and even make this plan meaningless.
However, that only opportunity, when no one paid attention to this asteroid before, had quietly slipped away and would never come back.
At this moment, the only way to blow up this asteroid is to attack hard!
Just like how the Storm Civilization fleet attacked planet H1-2, only by breaking through the enemy's defense network can it pour its wrath onto the planet.
The situation in the entire H1 galaxy seemed to have completely turned upside down at this moment. It is as if human civilization has become the invader, while the storm civilization has become the defender.
At this moment, all the participants in the war almost fell into madness. The warships and automatic defense facilities belonging to the human civilization were bombarded indiscriminately without any regard for losses. The hundreds of thousands of warships belonging to the storm civilization were divided into several layers. With the asteroid as the core, they covered almost all directions of it. All the artillery shells fired here, whether they were electromagnetic artillery projectiles, micro missiles or large and medium-sized missiles, were all blocked.
If it encounters a laser beam, a warship will directly hit it and block it with its own armor. If there is a vacuum cannon, all the warships in the area will rush up crazily and interrupt it with the most violent attack in a short period of time.
Stop them no matter what!
At this moment, in the storm mother ship, it was noticed that the intensity of the enemy's attack was much higher than before, and the uncertainty in Boyaro's heart slowly dissipated.
He was always worried that this place was also a trap, although he couldn't think of any way to use this asteroid to set up a trap. At this moment, the crazier the enemy behaves and the more attention they pay to this place, the more obviously they can rule out the possibility that this place is a trap.
But even so, he couldn't completely worry. Under his order, numerous engineering ships carried countless advanced equipment and scanned this small planet thousands of times. Even ground-penetrating missiles were launched with exploration equipment and entered the interior of the asteroid to explore.
All of this shows that this is indeed just a special asteroid, and there are no traps inside. Until this moment, he was 80% relieved. The remaining 20% are still on alert.
At this moment, many instruments have been transferred to this asteroid.
Based on the asteroid density, strength, structure and other data determined by previous surveys, the engineer team determined a total of approximately 500 propulsion points. A high-power thruster will be installed at each propulsion point. Its energy source is antimatter, and the working medium is directly obtained from local materials and crushed by rocks on asteroids.
This will cause the asteroid to lose a lot of mass, but that doesn't matter. Because his purpose is to cause it to hit Planet 2 and trigger a major earthquake that covers the whole world. For this goal, it makes no difference whether the asteroid has a mass of two quadrillion tons or one quadrillion tons. .
Just like a person jumping from the 200th floor is no different from jumping from the 100th floor.
At this moment, the weak engineering construction capabilities of a broken third-level civilization finally came into use. Countless modular equipment was dismantled and quickly assembled according to standards. Occasionally, there are missing parts, which are quickly manufactured through high-precision machining or direct 3D printing.
There are about 500 propulsion points in total, and the construction of 500 large thrusters only took a few days. After this, the thrusters were completed and activated as planned.
At this moment, more than 500 bright white plasma light beams started from this asteroid and extended straight into the vast space.
They have extremely high temperatures and extremely strong radiation.
On their radiation path, the warships of the Storm Civilization have already taken evasive measures. Farther away from the asteroid, countless facilities belonging to the enemy's automatic defense system were swept away and turned into nothingness, blending into the vast space.
Under their impetus, the asteroid's forward trajectory was abruptly changed a little bit - it didn't need to be changed too much, just a little bit. Based on its own forward orbit, it would finally aim at h1-2 planet.
At this moment, the attack from the enemy became more fierce.
Boyaro is not worried that his defense line will eventually be breached. In fact, that is impossible. The only thing he was worried about was that a stray bullet accidentally flew from somewhere and hit the working planetary engine.
After all, these planetary engines are built on the surface, not underground like the factories on Planet 2. To prevent this situation, the only thing one can do is to increase the defense density.
"Order, our array is tightened again. It must be absolutely perfect and no stray bullets can be allowed to fly in.
With this small planet as the core, there are hundreds of thousands of warships, together with more satellites, forts, bases, etc., and the distance between them has shrunk again, even to the point where it is dangerous.
The average distance between two warships has even been shortened to less than five kilometers!
At this distance, a slight operational error by a warship may cause a collision and cause a chain reaction. If a cannonball is not aimed even slightly, it will accidentally damage your own side.
This is something that will never be allowed to happen in any military textbook. But now, it has actually happened.
