Chapter 349 Orbital Bombardment Mining

Well, although it is "even a planet", in fact, both the captains of the warships and the fleet commanders understand that the planet is really big.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go up to the sky but difficult to go down to the earth. Imagine the Earth era, when humans could already build space stations in space, but they still knew very little about the underground world of the Earth. The so-called deepest depth of artificial excavation did not even penetrate the surface of the Earth.

Not to mention the mantle and core below.

Don't think that you often see the scene of a punch exploding a star in TV and movies, but to really destroy a planet, even if you detonate all the nuclear weapons on the earth, you can't do it. A global nuclear explosion can't even make the earth sneeze.

Now, as a second-level civilization, humans are also the same. With the current technological strength of humans, it is impossible to blow up a planet as big as the earth. Even if all weapons are aimed at one point and concentrated bombing, at most they can trigger a power that can make dinosaurs extinct.

It is still far from destroying the planet.

It is for this reason that humans understand the power of the civilization that blew up the sun and the Centauri triple star.

Of course, humans are no longer rookies. After meeting the awakener, humans once asked the awakener this question, and the answer they got was: Level 5 civilization.

The awakener told humans that if they wanted to destroy a star, they must at least have the technology of Level 5 civilization, but the awakener didn't say what technology it was for some reason, perhaps because he felt that it was useless to say it.

As for what technology is needed to blow up a planet and what level of civilization it is, humans don't know. After all, humans were only obsessed with the hatred of the sun that blew up.

Maybe it's Level 3 civilization, maybe it's Level 4 civilization. As long as humans reach Level 3 civilization and master all the derivative technologies of Level 3 civilization, they will naturally understand the answer.

If humans can't destroy a planet at that time, then the power to destroy a planet can only be mastered by Level 4 civilization.

This matter is not urgent.

Let's get back to the point.

After getting Yue Yuan's approval, Manyuemei gathered people to connect with the personnel of the resource exploration and mining departments for the purpose of orbital bombing experiments.

After some contact, Manyuemei also had a bottom line in her heart.

First of all, because the main purpose is to open a mine, the resource exploration and mining departments need to provide data on various detonation locations and detonation depths.

The military is responsible for formulating specific bombing plans. For example, a certain location on a certain continent, a certain hill, a certain valley, what weapons are needed for various different terrains, whether it is a positron gun or a conventional electromagnetic railgun, or an electromagnetic railgun with a warhead replaced by a nuclear warhead, how much equivalent ammunition is needed to achieve the expected effect, etc.

After the plan is formulated, the next thing to do is to wait for the five space elevators to be completed, and then start bombing.

This time is not too long. With the support of highly mechanized manufacturing technology, the five space elevators were all completed in the eighth year after the bombing plan was completed.

This day is the day for the plan to be implemented.

Because of the orbital bombing mining experiment, all the personnel who had previously performed various tasks on the planet have returned to space.

At this time, in the bridge of the Tianqin, a group of people gathered together, and their curious eyes were all looking at the large screen projecting the progress of the plan.

"Report, the 100 Lake-class warships of the 8th Division of the Second Fleet are all in place and are currently adjusting their posture in the synchronous orbit. It is expected that the first round of bombardment will be carried out in three minutes!" Just like in combat, the voice of the observer sounded in the Tianqin.

Man Yuemei, as the commander of the bombardment experiment at this time, opened her red lips after hearing the words of the observer: "Okay, tell the captains of each ship to use the preset weapons to attack their respective targets according to the longitude and latitude coordinate information provided by the exploration and mining department."

"Understood!"

"Received!"

The order was transmitted to each warship through neutrino communication.

At the same time, the various Lake-class warships in the planetary orbit also completed the posture adjustment, and bombed their respective targets according to the gravity data of the planet, the firing angle, the orbital distance and other factors.

From the big screen, it can be seen that the posture of each Lake-class warship in the planetary orbit at this moment is different. Some of them have the main gun barrels of the head perpendicular to the cross section of the planetary sphere, some are tilted at an angle, and some are directly parallel to the cross section of the planetary sphere.

The reason for such a variety of state differences is that the weapons used for orbital bombardment are not precision-guided missiles with power, but electromagnetic railgun shells with different warheads.

Some of these shells have extremely strong ground-penetrating capabilities and are equipped with time-fuze warheads, while others are just ordinary alloy warheads.

The captain of the battleship takes different postures according to the direction of the target, and then through precise scientific calculations, the shells fired can accurately fall on the target point under the influence of the planet's gravity.

This is still the first batch of battleships, and they mainly conduct orbital bombardment in synchronous orbit. However, since bombing experiments are to be conducted, they naturally cannot be conducted only in synchronous orbit.

There are also the second batch of battleships randomly assigned to high and low latitude coordinates, and the third batch of battleships deployed in far-earth orbit.

Humans will evaluate the bombing results of the three batches of battleships as a basis for bombing in that orbit with higher efficiency and accuracy.

As for the earthquakes and dust after the bombing, it doesn't matter. Humans don't breathe on the planet anyway, and such a planet is a desolate planet. It doesn't matter if we try hard to create it.

In the universe, there is no such thing as garbage and pollution. After all, the energy of scientific and technological civilization is too clean. Take heavy nuclear fusion as an example, stones can be used as fuel.

Speaking of which, this is the situation on the spacecraft where humans live now. Some garbage and household garbage that do not need to be recycled are directly thrown into the heavy nuclear fusion furnace to burn after filtering out iron and metal elements after iron.

At this time, the warships opened fire, and electromagnetic railgun shells with different functions were ejected from the barrels, and then fell towards their respective targets under the gravity of the planet.

Not long after, a bright spot of light lit up.

Everyone in the Tianqin knew that this was an electromagnetic railgun shell with a hydrogen bomb warhead that exploded more than ten meters above the ground.

While some people were admiring the first bright spot, others were already looking at the target on another split screen.

It was a mountain.

People only felt a black shadow shooting into the mountain from the sky at a 45-degree angle, and then in less than a second, the surface of the mountain was covered with dirt and rocks, and then the whole mountain exploded.

Through the slow-motion video, people finally saw what was going on.

The dirt and rocks were the effect of the earth-drilling shells piercing into the mountain, and the explosion of the mountain was a process. First, the mountain appeared with spider-web-like cracks, and then strong light shot out from the cracks, and then the mountain was razed to the ground.

Seeing this effect, some people couldn't help but look at the data of this shell, probably wanting to see what kind of shell could withstand such a strong impact and pierce itself into the mountain before exploding.
