Chapter 90: Stripping the Seeds
Mark looked down the lighthouse, but he didn't see anything, and the AI seemed to be aware of the difference in vision, but this time he didn't transmit the image from the surveillance module to the screen, but drove the moon spacecraft to quickly approach the Dyson sphere.
The surrounding environment is very bright, a large amount of charged plasma material is mixed with the nebula, and the surrounding environment can be clearly seen with the naked eye, which is a very beautiful and dreamy scene, but once you realize that this is a huge planetary slaughterhouse, everything here is not linked to beauty.
When they got close enough, Mark saw the planet that the lighthouse was talking about, and the Earth was directly in front of them, and Sun Tan and Mark exchanged glances, but the lighthouse didn't seem interested in it, but instead focused on the planet that was being slaughtered.
It is a pale yellow barren planet, which does not look like it can give birth to civilization, and it also has a white cube at one end, and Mark now feels uncomfortable when he sees that white, it is like a bracelet on the hand of a death row prisoner, symbolizing ominousness.
The planet to be slaughtered was much smaller than Earth, only one-third the size of Earth, and it was propelled close to the Dyson sphere by a white cube, and it was only then that Mark and Sun Tan saw a relatively small metal ring at the top of the Dyson sphere.
To say that it is small, in fact, it is just a reference to the Dyson sphere, which is several times larger than the diameter of the Earth. The inside of the ring was constantly flashing with a dazzling red light, and the rest of it was pitch black, and its material looked like metal, but it didn't have the luster or coldness of metal at all, and sure enough, if I had to say it, Mark thought it was more like a king-size black frosted porcelain.
The white cube was advancing rapidly, that is, in half an hour, the reddish planet had been sent into the ring, and the pitch-black ring enclosed it, and the center of the ring was the equator of the planet.
The hijackers' administrative efficiency was fast, and it didn't take much time for a big project like deconstructing the planet, maybe it was just a small thing for them, but the ring soon began to slowly spin and shrink rapidly, and finally remained within about double the diameter of the yellow planet.
The red dot on the inner wall of the ring became brighter and brighter, even brighter than the stellar light leaking from the Dyson sphere below, and its speed began to get faster and faster, Mark couldn't actually see how it was spinning, it was far away, and the pitch-black surface was not easy to see, he could only tell by the red dots on the inner wall of the ring that it was indeed spinning, and it was amazingly fast.
If you want to drive such a big guy, you must need to input unimaginable huge energy, if there is no super technology like the Dyson sphere, this level of engineering doesn't even have to think about it, no matter what level of energy furnace human beings build, it is impossible to support such a giant project, only a majestic natural fusion furnace like a star can provide such a huge amount of energy, civilization has been learning to conquer nature and use nature since its birth, but in the end, it has found that it has never been able to surpass nature, After all, it's nature...... will be what we have created.
The deconstruction of the planet began, the dense ring of material structure has a huge mass, through high-speed rotation, it will strip off the most surface layer of material of the planet, the planet is rotated together with it, under the action of the strong gravitational and centrifugal force of the ring, the poor layer of pale yellow soil on the surface of the planet is thrown outward, and the ring also begins to change its rotation angle, like a frame on the outside of the globe, from the horizontal axis to the vertical axis, the surface of the pale yellow planet has been completely stripped away, The brown earth below was revealed, like the withered muscles under the skin of a thin old man.
At this time, it has shrunk a big circle, and Mark also understands the meaning of the lighthouse's words, why it calls this process slaughter, not surgery, the hijackers have no compassion for these "caught" planets, the process of taking out the "eggs" is cruel and rough, it is completely a process of destruction, with their technology, they can completely achieve protective mining, and the integrity of the planet can still be maintained after the eggs are removed, but it is not necessary for them, or ...... Not economical.
"That red thing...... Is it a high-energy laser? Sun Tan lifted his glasses and asked, the shock in his heart was no less than that of Mark, but he was still able to maintain a minimum of composure.
"It's a graviton laser, but the use is the same, but it's more practical." The lighthouse's tone was still so calm.
The brown mantle was bombarded by lasers from all directions, and it was soon heated to a semi-liquid state, and the whole planet turned from brown to fiery red, and the red-hot liquid rocks flowed freely on the earth, this scene was very dramatic, this unknown planet returned to its original appearance when it was temporary, and it was born in the void as it is now, bright red, immature, and without a fixed shape...... When babies are born, their thin skin is covered with capillaries, so people call newborns innocence, and this is also the case with the newborn planet.
The planet had a long journey, being brought here by hijackers from somewhere in the universe, and finally left the universe that had existed for billions of years in its original, youngest form and turned into a fine nebula.
The Earth's mantle is completely fused and fused with the liquid core inside the planet, and the earth in its core is composed of two kinds of materials, silicate liquid and iron-nickel liquid metal, after the planet melts, the rotation of the ring begins to gradually slow down, but it does not stop, under the action of gravity, the hot metal material that has melted under the action of gravity begins to splash around, and the ionic force field around the ring will scatter the scattered liquid into smaller droplets again, preventing them from condensing into large pieces of matter and preventing damage.
After being deconstructed, some of the matter was attracted by the gravitational pull of the Dyson sphere and hit its huge shell, but I also want to know that this will not cause any damage to the Dyson sphere, this metal cage of unknown structure can withstand the ultra-high heat of star fusion, you can imagine how indestructible its structural strength is, this level of impact is not even tickling.
The shocking slaughter was nearing its end, and the speed of the ring's rotation gradually slowed down, and a mechanical arm stretched out from it, piercing into the core of the planet that was about to be stripped clean, the material of the robot may be the same as the Dyson sphere, the high temperature of the core and the dense and hard layer of iron and nickel did not cause any obstacles to it, and its mechanical arm easily drilled into the liquid metal core.
The planet is still giving off its last shred of heat, and soon it will burn out this little bit of life left, leaving nothing behind to prove its existence, except for a little cold dust.
"That's the 'egg,' or ...... 'seed.'" Lighthouse said, projecting the angle of view of the scout module to the maximum onto the screen, and Mark saw the ...... of the robotic arm A glowing orb.
