Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 144 Pulled to the same level

Li Qingsong's intention is actually very simple.

The environment on Venus is too harsh, which prevents me from carrying out large-scale infrastructure construction on the surface of Venus and building a supercomputing base, so you have seized the loophole and taken away Venus.

Your technology is more advanced, and you have the ability to carry out large-scale infrastructure on the surface of Venus, build supercomputing bases, and deploy a large number of unmanned combat forces.

There's no way I can get Venus back through conventional means alone.

In that case... I will find a way to make the surface environment of Venus even worse, so worse that even you won't be able to cope with it and won't be able to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction. This way, I can bring you to the same level as me!

An impact with an asteroid of about 24 trillion tons would accomplish this.

The asteroid that hit the Earth and caused the extinction of the dinosaurs was only 10 kilometers in size and had a total mass of about 1.4 trillion tons, which is only about 6% of this asteroid!

But even that asteroid caused drastic changes in the Earth's environment, leading to large-scale tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and volcanic ash drifting into the atmosphere, causing global freezing.

At this moment, if this asteroid could hit Venus, the energy released would be at least 20 times that of that asteroid.

Furthermore, Venus already has extremely active geological activities, with earthquakes and volcanoes occurring frequently on its surface.

It can be predicted that once this asteroid hits Venus, it will immediately trigger a new round of large-scale geological activities on Venus. There will be countless strong earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, making the already harsh surface environment of Venus even worse, so harsh that even the Bluetuk people are unable to carry out infrastructure construction!
In this way, the advantage gained by the Bluetuk people in seizing Venus will be eliminated.

Moreover, the acceleration phase of this asteroid was completed in the asteroid belt, which is heavily guarded and the Bluetuk people are unable to interfere at this stage.

Once the acceleration phase is completed, the asteroid will begin to collide with Venus at a speed of more than 20 kilometers per second. Even if it enters the control range of the Bluetuk people, how can they stop such a ferocious beast with huge kinetic energy?

Electromagnetic cannon projectile bombardment? Laser beam burning?

This works well against battleships, but not against solid asteroids.

Atomic bomb, or even hydrogen bomb?

It has some use, but again, not much.

Nuclear weapons can only reduce a portion of an asteroid's mass. Even if a large number of nuclear explosions reduced the asteroid's mass by half, what would that do?

Besides, I won't allow them to attack this asteroid at will.

Take the same approach and build enough thrusters on the asteroid to push it away?
Not to mention that Li Qingsong would definitely interfere and wouldn't let the Bluetuk people do this. Even if you let the Bluetuk people do this, your current control range is only around Venus. By the time the asteroid reaches the vicinity of Venus, the time will be too short and it will be too late.

The only chance for the Bluetuk people to survive is to send a large fleet to try to occupy the asteroid and change its orbit while it is still far away from Venus, so as to avoid it from crashing into Venus.

Come on then! It's just a field battle, it's not like we haven't fought before!

Things developed just as Li Qingsong had expected. When it was discovered that the asteroid was being pushed towards Venus by Li Qingsong, a large number of warships immediately left Venus and tried to approach.

Li Qingsong's fleet also closely protected the asteroid.

Both sides gave their all.

For a time, the location of this asteroid became the focus of war in the entire solar system.

Li Qingsong has the resources from seven major planets, and the Bluetuk people have the resources from Venus;
Li Qingsong possessed a force of 400 million regular clones, resulting in minimal internal friction and communication costs, resulting in exceptionally high efficiency. The Bluetuk, on the other hand, boasted a population of nearly 100 billion. While their efficiency was lower, their population base was substantial. Heavy cargo ships arrived one after another around the asteroid, delivering vast quantities of supplies to both sides. Surprise attacks, counter-surprise attacks, ambushes, counter-ambushes, and so on ensued, with equally brutal and fierce fighting erupting around the supply lines.

In the main battlefield, warship after warship was destroyed, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, among which Li Qingsong suffered the heaviest casualties.

But Li Qingsong didn't care at all.

If we destroy a thousand battleships, we will replenish them with a thousand battleships. If we destroy a million clones, we will replenish them with a million clones. We must go all out and ensure that the propulsion of the asteroid is not affected!

Even in this situation, Li Qingsong paid the price of more than 1000 million clones and the destruction of hundreds of thousands of warships. He finally fought his way out of the opponent's desperate interception and escorted the asteroid to a place only million kilometers away from Venus.

At this moment, its speed was successfully accelerated to 20 kilometers per second.

At this speed, it will hit Venus in about six days.

This has entered the control range of the Bluetuk people, and Li Qingsong had to withdraw his combat power.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s impossible to stop such a huge object or change its orbit in just a few days.

Even numerous high-yield nuclear bombs can’t do it!

It's like an out-of-control heavy-loaded truck traveling at high speed on Earth's highway. Even if you can spray it with thousands of bullets and smash it to pieces, you can't make it stop immediately.

Li Qingsong seemed to have seen the surface of Venus, where the Bluetuk people were in panic as if the end of the world was coming.

But the next moment...

"Ok?"

Li Qingsong narrowed his eyes slightly.

He saw a slightly unexpected scene.

He saw that the giant spaceship in the orbit around Venus, which had been orbiting Venus at a speed of about 10 kilometers per second, suddenly began to accelerate.

The spaceship was extremely large, with a length of two kilometers. Li Qingsong had always thought it was just a space base, but he didn't expect it to be a spaceship that could move freely.

If such a giant spacecraft were filled with ballast, its total mass would probably be as high as tens of billions of tons.

At this moment, the giant spaceship accelerated and had the speed to break free from the gravity of Venus, and then crashed into the asteroid.

Li Qingsong's expression became increasingly serious.

This is how the Bluetuk people responded!

A giant spacecraft weighing tens of billions of tons and traveling at a speed of about 11 kilometers per second has a total kinetic energy of about 6*10^20 joules.

Converted into TNT explosion equivalent, it is about 1500 billion tons of TNT!

What's more, this kind of kinetic impact releases extremely concentrated energy, and most of it can act on the asteroid, instead of spreading its explosive energy around like a hydrogen bomb explosion!
