It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

He glanced over his shoulder.

It's information from Professor Lu.

There are only two words in the message.

"approve."

……

The "hands-on" time for Kepler 452c is set in half a month.

On the one hand, the Star Destroyer [Suzaku] still needs to undergo several factory inspections. On the other hand, the fleet needs to deploy some upgraded planetary starships to cooperate with this unprecedented mining project.

These all take a lot of time to prepare.

Time flies.

Under Zero's control, the brand-new planetary-level [Golden Crow] battleships and [Glutton] material storage ships slowly left the fleet, driven by the anti-matter engine, to the vicinity of Kepler 452c.

The poor iron planet doesn't know what's coming, it's still orbiting its central star as it has for billions of years.

And around it, battleships of [Golden Crow] are already ready to go, just waiting for an order, they can create a cage constructed by gravity to firmly bind them in it!

Wang Man sat quietly on the chair in the office, looking at the small gray planet outside the porthole.

Swish.

Behind him came the sound of the office door opening.

"Old King."

Hearing this familiar voice, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Wang Man's mouth: "Old Tang, you are here too."

"Nonsense!" Tang Hairong sat down on the chair next to Wang Man, and said angrily, "Can I let go of such a spectacular scene?"

As he said that, he turned his head to look around, and asked in a slightly lowered voice, "Lu... isn't Professor Lu here?"

Wang Man stared at the gray planet in the distance, and nodded slightly: "Yes."

"I heard that tachyon communication technology is about to make a breakthrough, and Professor Lu is leading people on [Earth] to overcome this technology with all their strength."

"hiss!"

Tang Hairong gasped slightly, and exclaimed with horror, "So fast?!"

"How much time is this?!"

"It's not too short." Wang Man shrugged, "At least, for Professor Lu, tachyon communication technology takes a long time."

The corner of Tang Hairong's mouth twitched, revealing a wry smile.

He shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Yes."

"Under normal circumstances, this time is enough for Professor Lu to come up with two research results, and now he has not solved even one."

"This tachyon communication technology is really difficult!"

"Oh, right, you're wrong about this." Wang Man shrugged and corrected softly, "[Suzaku] Star Destroyer, it was created by Professor Lu."

"So, strictly speaking, he still made a research result."

The wry smile on Tang Hairong's face suddenly froze.

"This……"

"Immortals, they are simply immortals..."

Hearing Tang Hairong's repeated sighs, the corners of Wang Man's mouth rose slightly, revealing a slight smile.

Suddenly, the smile on his face gradually froze, and his eyes became sharper.

His eyes focused on a point far away outside the porthole.

Seeing the looming red, he excitedly untied the electromagnetic adsorption device on the seat, stood up and lay down beside the porthole of the starship.

"Hey! It's blocking my sight!"

Tang Hairong's displeased voice came from behind: "I said, can you..."

"coming!"

Wang Man's voice was full of excitement and excitement: "[Suzaku] is here!"

Tang Hairong's complaints stopped abruptly.

A flurry of voices came from behind.

A few seconds later, Tang Hairong also stood by the porthole, pulling a corner of the porthole with his hands, and put his head on the porthole as much as possible, looking at the picture in the distance.

"drop!"

"Academician Wang Man, Academician Tang Hairong."

"The first planetary mining project is about to start, please pay attention to safety while watching the process."

As Zero's electronic synthesis sounded behind him, the scene outside the porthole began to gradually change.

Chapter 675 The Death of Kepler 452c

Kepler 452c.

The gray iron planet moves quietly in its own orbit.

Stellar winds from the host star creep across its atmosphere-less surface, kicking up tiny debris.

Gravity tugs at it, making the same motion day in and day out—a motion it has maintained for billions of years.

It can go on for billions of years without external influence.

Around it, hundreds of huge starships formed a standard hollow sphere structure.

The antimatter engines at their tails glowed faintly, driving them to maintain their positions.

Under the reflection of the main star's light, the surface of these starships glowed with an incomparably shiny metallic luster.

Obviously, they are all "fresh out of the oven" new guys.

Suddenly, the light of the antimatter engines at the tails of these hundreds of starships gradually brightened.

Seen from the surface of Kepler 452c, it seems that hundreds of extremely bright suns appear in the silent night sky in an instant!

The gravitational field generating device starts to operate.

Under Zero's precise calculation, the joint gravitational shield built by hundreds of [Golden Crow] battleships is slowly taking shape.

Unlike the gravitational shield around the starship, this gravitational shield is facing in the opposite direction-it is to prevent "attacks" from within.

When the strength of the gravitational shield gradually increased, a huge red and black starship slowly approached from a distance and filled the last vacant seat on the gravitational shield.

……

"here we go!"

Wang Man glanced at the data in the holographic projection beside him, and his expression suddenly became excited: "The gravitational shield has been constructed, and the next step is to launch the star destroyer!"

The moment the words fell, the muzzle of the [Suzaku] Star Destroyer began to glow with a faint purple light.

As the energy gradually gathered, the purple light from the muzzle of the Star Destroyer also became more intense.

Gradually, the purple light overwhelmed the light from the antimatter engine at the tail of the starship, and also overshadowed the light from the distant star.

Purple became the only visible color on the surface of Kepler 452c.

boom!

When the purple light reached its peak, a thick laser beam appeared from the muzzle and shot straight towards the gray planet ahead.

Ten seconds later, the high-energy laser beam blasted across a long distance to the surface of the gray planet.

The high temperature instantly melted its ground.

Blowing up a planet is not something that can be done simply by arranging some explosives.

Even a super-large-yield nuclear bomb or an antimatter bomb can only blast a small hole in the surface of a huge planet.

No matter how strong a fortress is, there will be flaws inside.

Therefore, the first thing the Star Destroyer needs to do is to create a passage leading to the core of the planet!

High-energy laser weapons are definitely the best choice.

Whether it is an iron planet or a rocky planet, it is impossible to block the exaggerated temperature of the high-energy laser beam.

Under the action of laser beams, the metal that makes up Kepler 452c has long been melted into hot molten iron.

They flow wantonly on the surface of the gray planet, and then slowly solidify into gray scars, just like the last tear of the planet.

The purple high-energy laser beam continuously drills deep into the earth's core.

The high temperature activated the inner core of Kepler 452c that had solidified for an unknown number of billions of years.

Violent earthquakes came from the ground, and bottomless gullies began to appear on the surface, which had been polished by the stellar wind and became somewhat smooth!

"drop!"

A crisp notification sounded beside my ears.

The logo on the holographic projection made Wang Man and Tang Hairong subconsciously hold their breath.

Got through!

The high-energy laser beam successfully penetrated into the ground of Kepler 452c!

As a result, the Star Destroyer enters its second form.

The power of the purple laser beam began to decay - next, it only needed to maintain the existence of this channel.

An antimatter bomb wrapped in layers shot out from the muzzle, along the muzzle blasted by the laser beam, and fell straight into the depths of Kepler 452c's core!

During the fall, the heat-resistant armor around the antimatter bomb was continuously melted by the laser beam.

Finally, when the antimatter bomb reached the center of the earth, all the outer heat-resistant armor fell off.

Bang!

The bomb was detonated!

The antimatter that bloomed in it immediately encountered the extremely dense planetary core material on the periphery.

An annihilation reaction ensues! !

The majestic energy generated by the annihilation of matter and antimatter made this newly activated core a powerful bomb!

As the purple laser beam was slowly extinguished, the flames of the explosion flashed in the depths of the earth's core!

Countless bottomless gaps appeared on the surface of Kepler 452c instantly!

In the next instant, the spherical planet was torn apart, and along with the scalding hot molten iron, it turned into countless debris.

Under the impact of the antimatter bomb, these fragments, large and small, quickly overcame their own gravity and shot in all directions!

The role of the gravitational shield began to appear.

Rather than saying it is a gravitational shield, it might be better to call it a gravitational cage.

Under the action of the gravitational cage, the speed of these splashing planetary fragments slowed down, and stagnated one by one in the cold and dead space.

In just a few 10 minutes, a complete planet turned into a dense cluster of asteroids.

The red hot molten iron connects and builds bridges between the asteroids, forming an incomparably magnificent picture.

"What the hell……"

"Damn...this thing is really exciting!"

Wang Man and Tang Hairong spoke at the same time.

Seeing the asteroid cluster gradually stabilized under the action of the gravitational field, Tang Hairong glanced sideways at Wang Man beside him: "I said, old Wang, what are you still doing?"

"It's your turn to do something!"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" Wang Man came back to his senses suddenly, raised his hand and patted his head lightly.

"Attention all units, start dividing the smelting work immediately!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly opened his mouth and gave the order!

As soon as the words fell, the joint gravitational field generated by the [Golden Crow] battleship began to split, and the gravitational fields pulled clusters of planetary fragments and scattered in all directions.
