215: Chapter 215 The Solar System's Troublemaker
If they were to use the Antimatter Particle Beam...
They would need to lure that Crystalline Entity away from Mars; although Mars had a thin atmosphere, it still had one after all.
The Antimatter Particle Beam had to be used in a vacuum environment; otherwise, it would prematurely encounter atmospheric molecules and undergo annihilation.
Gao Yuan tried sending out mechs to lure the Crystalline Entity away from Mars' low-Earth orbit.
However, the Crystalline Entity remained completely unmoved.
At this moment, Mo Yun, who was nearby, asked, "Marshal, doesn't that thing eat people? Should we try using robots to see if we can lure it over?"
"Robots?"
"Yeah, ones that look exactly like humans..."
Gao Yuan felt it was unreliable, but he decided to give it a try—just in case.
Soon, a robot was sent over, positioned just outside the Crystalline Entity's radiation range, with the mech's mechanical arm continuously moving the robot in and out...
Soon, the Crystalline Entity moved.
"Marshal, it moved..."
Gao Yuan's cheek twitched.
"I saw it!"
As long as it moved, things would be easier.
One robot after another was tossed toward the Crystalline Entity.
Gao Yuan watched as it continuously devoured the robots, and its radiation waves became stronger and stronger.
Gao Yuan was somewhat surprised.
Robots work too?
This creature wasn't devouring energy, but intelligence.
Biological chips were implanted inside the robots; if not for the fact that their underlying logic was code, they were actually no different from real humans.
Gao Yuan discovered that there was too much about this world he didn't understand.
Intelligence also contained immense energy.
Just like life factors, perhaps intelligence was the manifestation of life factors!
...
Soon, the Crystalline Entity was lured out of the Jupiter atmosphere.
At this moment, dozens of new-model mechs were already prepared; in an instant, dozens of Faster-than-light Particle Beams shattered the crystal. Immediately after, the internal biological tissue was directly evaporated into cosmic dust by the high temperatures.
Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Mars...
Was his now.
After leaving Earth, humanity had obtained its first base.
However, Mars was currently completely unsuitable for habitation; Gao Yuan was only conducting large-scale mining there.
At the same time, after refitting on Mars, they would head toward Jupiter.
Gao Yuan held a high-level meeting above Mars.
The main topic was discussing how to fight the Battle of Jupiter!
Jupiter was different from Mars. If Mars were placed in the Jupiter Sector, it would at most count as a moon; Jupiter had dozens of such moons, plus Jupiter itself.
When Gao Yuan met Su Dai in the Future World previously, Su Dai had mentioned that there was an iron-nickel inner planet inside Jupiter!
It was equivalent to Jupiter's core. Gao Yuan suspected that the triangular crystal substance originated from Jupiter's inner planet.
After all, only there met the conditions of high temperature and high pressure required for such a substance to form naturally.
On the Ankylosaurus aerospace carrier, dozens of high-ranking human officials gathered in a meeting room.
"Everyone, we have already conquered Mars, but like the Moon and Earth, Mars has become unsuitable for habitation. Therefore, Mars can only serve as our raw material base!"
"Next, regarding how to fight Jupiter, let everyone speak their minds!"
The meeting consisted entirely of high-ranking military officials.
Liu Yufu, the Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Force, said, "Mars only had a small number of Jupiter creatures, and we fought with such difficulty. If Jupiter has a large number of those creatures, I'm afraid we'll be completely wiped out!"
"If they don't come out, we'll have no way to deal with them!"
"Marshal, why don't we just destroy Jupiter directly?"
The one speaking was a female staff officer named Liu Piaopiao!
Gao Yuan's eyes lit up.
"Tell me, how would we destroy it?"
"Mars is useless anyway. We just need to build a few Antimatter Engines on the Martian equator to push Mars out of its original orbit. With Jupiter's powerful gravitational pull, it will suck Mars right in!"
"When the time comes, Mars will crash into Jupiter!"
Gao Yuan pondered...
At this moment, a physics expert said with a dark expression, "Nonsense! It's completely impossible. Even if we could make Mars leave its orbit and fly toward Jupiter at the right time, Jupiter's massive gravity would tear Mars apart. This wouldn't have much of an impact on Jupiter at all!"
"No, Mars crashing into Jupiter would still have a huge impact. Even if Mars is torn apart upon exceeding the Roche Limit, there will still be very large fragments falling into Jupiter. But the problem is, if Mars crashes into Jupiter and just one fragment has a volume exceeding one-tenth of Mars, Jupiter will be ignited... the massive energy and high-energy rays would tear the Asteroid Belt and all of us to pieces!"
Gao Yuan listened to the discussion of the people below.
He had an idea in his heart...
"Mars won't do. If we push the Moon to crash into Jupiter, we can hide behind Mars when the impact occurs! Jupiter only needs one collision; the massive internal pressure and energy will destroy all life in the vicinity! Then we shall win without even fighting!"
Gao Yuan said.
Gao Yuan's proposal indeed had feasibility.
"Marshal, I think it's possible!"
"The Solar System is a delicate organization; move one part and the whole body is affected! If we push the Moon away, Earth's orbit will change, and other planets will shift as a result. By then, the entire Solar System will become extremely chaotic, with collisions occurring one after another!"
Gao Yuan heard this.
His eyes lit up...
He finally understood what Gao Qiu meant when he said that as long as there was no Earth, humanity would have no weaknesses.
What did the chaos of the Solar System have to do with him?
Humanity were wanderers now.
They just needed to stay out of the way, but other civilizations wouldn't be so lucky.
Perhaps he wouldn't even need to lift a finger for them to destroy themselves.
So, at this moment, Gao Yuan decided he would do exactly that.
The Solar System's troublemaker was born!
"It's settled then. Part of the fleet will stay to guard Mars, while we go to the Moon to build engines. We'll strive to push the Moon to hit Jupiter within three months..."
This resolution was decided hastily.
But no matter how Gao Yuan thought about it, it was beneficial to him. Since Earth was uninhabitable anyway, there was no problem with him destroying other planets.
He took two aerospace carriers, a thousand super-sun class battleships, and a hundred new-model mechs.
This was mainly to prevent sneak attacks from the fleets of Venus or Mercury.
Back to the Moon...
The Moon had also entered a vibration mode at this time. Looking at Earth from the Moon, Earth was now covered in floods and volcanoes... the atmosphere was filled with volcanic dust.
The land was already scattered and broken.
But none of it had anything to do with humanity anymore. Gao Yuan began to put all his effort into building Planetary Engines on the Moon.
This was much more efficient than in the movies. Construction Insects built the bases, and after the 3D Micro-printers replicated exponentially, work began on the near side of the Moon!
Antimatter Engines had much more powerful thrust than Nuclear Fusion.
Two months later, the Moon's transformation was fully complete. Ten thousand Planetary Engines were spread across the Moon, capable of steering in any direction.
Gao Yuan was full of excitement. A major event in the Solar System was about to begin!
