After the strategy meeting, Fang Yuan went to Zhou Wensheng alone to ask about the Beast Planet Continental Plate.

As long as the content of geology is discussed, Zhou Wensheng will answer endlessly: "After the study of geological structures and the analysis of fossils......

"It can be preliminarily inferred that forty million years ago, the average altitude of the Saiko plate, where the main nest of the Star Beast Civilization was located, was not as high as it is now.

"Forty million years ago, as the SECCO and Cross plates slowly approached, the two plates were squeezing each other.

"Eventually, the eastern part of the SEKO plate was upturned to form a mountain range, while the western part of the CLOSE plate sank slightly, and the jagged rocks protruded into the bottom of the SEKO plate like an arm, lifting the SEKO plate like an arm.

"After 40 million years of crustal movements, now the two plates are slowly starting to separate, and the Cross plate is moving eastward.

"It causes the SECO plate to sink slowly, but at a very slow rate, at a rate of 1.37 centimeters per year, it will take at least a few million years to complete this plate movement."

Fang Yuan pondered and asked, "If you blow up and sink the Saike plate, how far will it sink in the end?" ”

This question is also critical.

Because the continental plate cannot sink indefinitely, and when it sinks to a certain extent, it will inevitably stop.

Therefore, the extent to which the SECCO plate will sink will also determine the final effect of this "continental plate sinking plan".

"According to the results of the analysis, the eastern section of the Saiko plate will sink more than five kilometers, and the location of the main nest of the Star Beast Civilization will be flooded by magma. It is also accompanied by violent crustal movements such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Zhou Wensheng replied.

Five kilometers, this value does not seem to be very large.

However, it would be an exaggeration to say that a continental plate on a planet sinks five kilometers.

Of course, it's just that the eastern section of the SECCO plate sinks five kilometers, and the western section does not sink so much.

The location of the main nest of the Star Beast Civilization is just close to the eastern section, so after the Seko plate sinks, it will be flooded by magma.

And in the disaster of the sinking of the continental plate of the Star Beast Civilization earlier, the entire Saiko plate sank, not only the underground world was invaded by magma, but the collapse of the underground cave would also be a heavy blow to the Star Beast.

According to the estimation of the General Staff, the sinking of the Saiko plate will wipe out 70% of the star beasts on the plate.

The more low-level star beasts die, the more they die, basically covering the elimination of all low-level star beasts on the Saiko plate.

……

After several strategic meetings, the implementation plan of the "SECCO Continental Plate Sinking Plan" was finally decided.

In addition to the three most important Clos Plate support arms that need to be blown up, there are seven volcanoes in the eastern mountain range of the SEKO Plate that need to be "dredged".

It is necessary to ensure that when the SECCO plate sinks, these volcanoes can erupt with maximum force and accelerate the sinking of the continental plate.

As a result, the total number of locations that need to be blasted has increased to ten.

However, the blasting of volcanoes is relatively simple, not too many active volcanoes, even if they are not blasted, they will erupt when the earth's crust is moving.

Of course, targeted blasting of these active volcanoes can make the eruptions more violent, which has a positive impact on the whole plan, so it's worth doing.

……

After the "Continental Plate Sinking Plan" was confirmed, the front-line headquarters began to mobilize large-yield nuclear bombs, ready to launch this infrastructure project to sink a continent at any time.

However, there is still one problem that remains unresolved.

That's Ralph Cook's signal threat.

If this problem can't be solved, then the day the Saiko Continent plate sinks will be the moment when the Star Beast Civilization sends a threat signal.

When the time comes, the ship of the Scavenger civilization will return, and the human race will be destroyed along with the Star Beast civilization.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to stop the Star Beast civilization from emitting threatening signals.

The General Staff has been deliberating on countermeasures to solve this problem, and it is also communicating with other human nations to find solutions together.

There is no need to keep the threat signal secret from other human nations.

Because, as long as it is a normal person, it is not normal to want to prevent the Star Beast Civilization from sending threat signals and not thinking about solutions.

"What would happen if the Star Beast Civilization sent a threat signal?"

After Admiral Rhodes had arranged the "plan for the sinking of the continental plate", he had time to go back and ask about Ralph's threatening signals.

With regard to what might happen after the threat signal was launched, the General Staff Department had analyzed and summed up a variety of possibilities.

"According to the information that is now known, the cleanser of the Cleanser civilization should have passed through the solar system sixty years ago......"

A military staff officer reported on behalf of the General Staff: "In other words, this purge has been out of the solar system for sixty years.

"Assuming that the Cleaner is on patrol at the speed of light, the Cleaner should now be somewhere within sixty light-years of the Solar System.

"Of course, it could also be sixty light-years away from the planet Star Beast.

"Sixty light years seems very far away, but in the eyes of advanced civilizations, it is actually very close.

"Because the distance between the Earth and the planets is 1056 light-years.

"Sixty light years, not even a fraction of the distance from the Earth to the Star Beast planet.

"Therefore, we can assume that this purge is actually very close to us."

This conclusion is suffocating.

It's sixty light years away, but it's very close.

At this distance, it would be almost impossible for humans to find the Cleaner, but the Cleaner could return to the solar system in a very short time if he wanted to.

At this time.

Han Youwei thought of a key point, raised her hand and said, "If this purge is sixty light-years away from us, then Ralph Cook will even send a threatening signal.

"Then the signal travels at the speed of light, and it will take at least sixty years for the cleaner to receive it, and that's if the cleaner stays put."

The military staff officer nodded and said, "Yes, it is true." However, the above speculation is based on the assumption that the Cleaners patrol at the speed of light.

"Actually, we don't know where the cleanser is, maybe he's flying at the speed of light, maybe he's stuck in the solar system, or a nearby galaxy.

"The only thing we know for sure is that the location of this purge is where he can return to the solar system in twenty years to determine the effect of the 'cleansing'."

Fang Yuan looked at Han Youwei on the side, smiled at each other, and said, "In this case, in fact, the location of the purge directly determines whether Ralph Cook's threat can be established.

"If the Cleanser is more than twenty light-years away from the solar system, then his alleged threat does not exist at all, because the Cleaner will definitely return to Earth within twenty years.

"In other words, Ralph Cook's so-called threat requires that the signal he transmits must be received by the cleaners within twenty years, otherwise the signal he transmits will be meaningless."

This makes Ralph Cook's alleged threat a gamble.

The bet is on how far the Cleaners are from the solar system, within twenty light-light years, and the threat is established.

More than twenty light years, the threat is not established.

Because of the signals emitted by a level 1.0 civilization, the speed limit is the speed of light.
