Chapter 410: Scattered Crustal Fragments

For example, now, when Liu Xiu observed the enemy and friendly map, he found that there were a large number of Zerg on the crustal fragments of these planets that were spreading outward rapidly.

Therefore, if these crustal fragments carrying insect eggs, especially the eggs of mutated iron wire worms, fall on a wandering blue planet, the consequence will be that the wandering blue planet will become the next Blue Planet No. 2.

Even if Liu Xiu had a map of enemies and friends, there would be nothing he could do. Of course, Liu Xiu himself could definitely escape, but the more than six billion humans on the wandering blue planet would definitely be doomed.

And because Blue Planet No. 2 was blown up by a star-destroying laser cannon, the speed of the crustal fragments thrown away by the explosion was naturally very, very fast.

It is even dozens of times faster than the nuclear-powered manhole cover, which was known as the fastest man-made object in human history before Liu Xiu traveled through time.

Speaking of this nuclear-powered manhole cover, we have to start from the world before Liu Xiu traveled through time and from a secret underground experiment conducted by Mi Liang in the 1950s. The time was traced back to 1957, when humans had mastered nuclear weapons technology and were able to create powerful nuclear weapons.

It can be said that the emergence of nuclear technology is a major advancement in human energy exploration. However, at that time, humans did not fully understand some of the laws of nuclear reactions. In order to figure out some of the characteristics of the nuclear reaction process, scientists from the United States conducted a secret experiment underground.

The scientists' experimental idea is also very simple, which is to dig a hole 150 meters deep from the surface underground, and then detonate a nuclear weapon at the bottom of the cave, and monitor through various advanced instruments to collect various data during the explosion process in order to more accurately grasp the laws of the nuclear explosion process, and then develop more powerful nuclear weapons.

At first, scientists believed that if a nuclear weapon was detonated in such a deep cave, the energy generated would offset the space in the cave and would not cause the cave to collapse, so the cave could be designed to be sealed.

However, for safety reasons, rigorous scientists decided to leave a hole. If the energy generated by the nuclear explosion is too large, the energy that cannot be absorbed by the hole can be discharged through the hole.

Therefore, scientists preserved the hole and installed a manhole cover at the hole, leaving many ventilation holes on the cover.

Next, scientists will accurately calculate the amount of nuclear material needed for the nuclear test, because it is necessary to accurately grasp the amount of nuclear material required for the experiment.

If too much substance is used, the detonation power will be too great, which may cause danger; if too little substance is used, the detonation power will be too small, and the expected effect will not be achieved.

After a series of complex calculations, scientists came to a conclusion and mixed the materials needed for detonation according to the calculated results.

However, due to the scientists' negligence, they made a mistake in the decimal point during the measurement process, resulting in the amount of substance required far exceeding the correct value, and the detonation energy was many times greater than the pre-designed value.

Then with a loud bang, the space of the cave alone could not dissolve such a huge amount of energy, and the huge amount of energy gushed out from the exit like a volcanic eruption. The small air holes on the manhole cover naturally could not block the impact of such a huge energy.

As a result, huge energy poured out from the hole and rushed towards the manhole cover. Under the huge impact force, the manhole cover flew directly into the sky.

The speed of the manhole cover reached an astonishing 70,000 meters per second, which is six times the escape velocity required for a spacecraft to leave the earth, that is, 250,000 kilometers per hour, or Mach 206, and it can circle the blue planet in ten minutes.

However, the entire process was captured by a high-speed camera placed nearby. Strangely, the camera only captured one frame of the manhole cover.

You know, even if it is a rocket launch, a high-speed camera can capture several frames of the rocket's flight. Since only one frame was captured, it is possible that this speed is only the minimum speed of the manhole cover. It is conceivable how amazing the speed of the manhole cover was at that time. In other words, the speed of this manhole cover is about 300 times that of a civil aircraft. Therefore, if it continues to fly at this speed, the manhole cover will leave the Earth's atmosphere and then leave the solar system.

Since then, this manhole cover has broken all world records and has become the fastest man-made object ever. Even today, the supersonic aircraft developed by humans are far slower than this manhole cover.

After the explosion, scientists began looking for the manhole cover, hoping to keep the iconic manhole cover as a souvenir, but after searching for a long time, they could not find any trace of it.

Therefore, there are believed to be only two possibilities for the whereabouts of this manhole cover.

The first possibility is that the manhole cover did not leave the atmosphere, but during the flight, due to its high speed, it rubbed against the atmosphere, generated huge heat, and was burned by the air.

After all, when an object at a relatively fast speed flies in the air, it will rub against the air, generating huge energy, which will cause the object to burn.

It's like a meteorite falling onto the blue planet. During the fall, the meteorite will rub against the air and cause spontaneous combustion. When the meteorite cannot withstand the heat, it will be burned up by the atmosphere.

That's why you see meteors shining brightly when they streak across the night sky. It is precisely because of this self-protection mechanism of the atmosphere that the surface of the blue planet is protected from many meteorite impacts.

Perhaps this manhole cover is also like this. Due to the high speed, the friction with the air generated huge energy, causing the surface temperature to rise. Then the entire manhole cover was burned red, and then melted into molten iron and scattered everywhere. As a result, scientists cannot find the complete manhole cover.

Another possibility is that the manhole cover was not completely burned during the flight, and the remaining manhole cover successfully flew out of the atmosphere, left the earth and entered space at a strong speed.

Now the crustal fragments from the explosion of Blue Planet No. 2 are similar to the nuclear-powered manhole cover. In fact, because of the huge power of the explosion, the speed is even faster than that of the nuclear-powered manhole cover.

Although at this speed, even if some small crustal fragments of Blue Planet No. 2 fell on the Wandering Blue Planet, they would be burned up.

However, it is better to be safe than sorry. The reproduction and attack methods of this Zerg really made Liu Xiu feel creepy.

After all, if it was just an open and fair attack, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if they actually used parasitism, that would be unbearable.

Before the destruction, Liu Xiu also had someone control a stealth reconnaissance plane to get the mutant iron wire worm's eggs for some experiments. The results showed that this thing was not only resistant to high temperatures, but also low temperatures. The shell of the eggs, which was only the size of a needle tip, was actually made of carbon fiber.

Both its hardness and strength are extremely terrifying, so it is hard to say whether it will be rubbed off by the air during landing.

So when Liu Xiu saw the crust of Blue Planet No. 2 flying everywhere, he immediately gave the order:

"Order the planetary engines to operate at full power, and at the same time, the steering engines to immediately deviate from the original trajectory to avoid the crustal debris of Blue Planet No. 2. We cannot let these fragments fall into the atmosphere of the Wandering Blue Planet!"
