Found Without Seeking

Immediately afterwards, countless bulges began to appear on the vast land, and then, in less than a thousandth of a second, these bulges exploded like blasting rocks, and in an instant, a bright sphere of light, as bright as the sun, burst forth, illuminating the entire continent and bathing the land, which was originally in darkness, in a sea of light.

Countless rocks and soil transformed into molten lava in the next moment, then rose up from the ground, the endless rocks and soil turned into lava resembling countless fireworks shooting straight into the Sky Dome.

The blazing white earth was suddenly tinged with a crimson hue.

The brightened earth was soon shrouded in a massive cloud of smoke and dust, which was both heated magma that had turned red and the billowing dust that was thrown into the Sky Dome.

As the endless light diffused and reflected over the fine dust clouds in the sky, the entire planet's sky seemed to enter a purple rosy dawn.

If someone could stand on a planet and look up at such a sight, they would surely exclaim, "Auspicious purple clouds stretch for 30,000 miles in the east!"

Of course, the actual sight was far more than 30,000 miles, because it was as if the entire sky of the planet was illuminated. Yes, at that moment, the countless dust particles scattered into the sky seemed to become the atmosphere of this planet that originally had no atmosphere.

This means that the planet has no atmosphere; otherwise, the atmospheric turbulence caused by the simultaneous explosion of three million hydrogen bombs with a yield of three hundred million tons would have been even more spectacular.

Even without an atmosphere, the entire planet was shrouded in a cloud of dust that filled the Sky Dome after this earth-shattering Big Bang.

This is Big Bang powerful enough to alter the surface environment of a planet.

It is estimated that the massive meteorite impact that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs was equivalent to about one hundred trillion tons of TNT, while the current Big Bang is equivalent to three million 300 Million Tons TNT Equivalent Hydrogen Bomb, for a total yield of nine hundred trillion tons of TNT.

It's equivalent to nine meteorites that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs hitting the Earth simultaneously.

Of course, since these hydrogen bombs were dispersed rather than concentrated, the instantaneous explosive force they triggered was not as intense as that of a large meteorite impact. However, precisely because of their wide range, their impact was no less than that of several large meteorite impacts that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.

It is certain that for a long time to come, this planet will remain in a dusty environment, with countless dust particles floating in the sky and even in its Low Earth Orbit.

If this planet had a dense atmosphere like Earth, then this cloud of dust that blots out the sun would last for tens of thousands of years, accompanied by massive tsunamis that sweep across the land and volcanic eruptions caused by the shaking of continental plates. Unfortunately, this planet has no atmosphere, and even its core has cooled down.

It can be said that it is a planet that has lost its geological activity, a dead planet.

Therefore, it will not react as violently as when Earth is hit by a large meteorite. In the future, these dust particles will slowly fall back to the ground under the influence of Gravity, covering the ground with a thick layer of dust.

However, some dust particles that are blasted too high, even reaching planetary orbits, will persist for a very long time. But for at least a century, the reduced kinetic energy from the collisions of dust clouds will make it difficult for them to fall back to the ground on their own.

Therefore, if the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness does not take any measures to remove this dust, its resupply operations will face great risks, as this dust will affect the operation of all equipment in planetary orbit and greatly impact space transportation lines.

Like the cables of Space Elevator, they will inevitably accumulate countless dust particles, which will cause the weight of each additional cable to increase, eventually exceeding its tensile strength and causing the Space Elevator to collapse.

If Orbital Mass Accelerator are used to transport resources, they will also face the hurdle of countless clouds and dust filling the sky. Supplies launched from the ground using Orbital Mass Accelerator will be as difficult to move as a boat sailing on a vast ocean, and may even be burned due to overheating caused by intense friction.

Therefore, the idea of Artificial Intelligence fleet resupplying on this planet is definitely going to fail in the near future, because with the technology of Level 2 Civilization, it is impossible to clear all this dust in a short period of time.

The coalition's bombing operation was a success.

From this moment on, the planet will be plunged into a "nuclear winter." Even during the daytime, the light from the distant Red Dwarf Star will not be able to reach the surface, and its surface temperature will remain in the range of minus two hundred degrees Celsius.

But that's all. The power of Level 2 Civilization is not enough to destroy a planet. Even if an explosion of ten times the magnitude of this one were buried, it would still not be enough to shake a planet.

At most, it can only make it sneeze a few times.

If this is the case for Level 2 Civilization, then it goes without saying that for humanity in the Earth Era, even if all of humanity detonated all its nuclear weapons, Earth probably wouldn't even sneeze. At most, it would feel like it's been bitten by a mosquito, and then it would reach out and scratch the bite, raising a bunch of old, dead skin cells.

Therefore, claims that humanity will destroy the Earth are exaggerations. Even if humanity exerts all its strength, at most it can trigger a nuclear winter, destroy the Earth's ecosystem, and then die as a result. That's all.

Conversely, while the actions of current Human Civilization and the Nair Civilization may not be the most powerful, taking hundreds or thousands of years to create a hydrogen bomb, they have still put in their best efforts to deliver a devastating blow to this planet.

But that's about it.

However, from a strategic perspective, the objective has indeed been achieved.

So next, the allied fleet was to launch a surprise attack on the Artificial Intelligence fleet as previously agreed, and then, as planned, feign defeat and head to the Second Battlefield.

Unexpectedly, just as the three fleets joined forces and ordered a full-power advance, their signal receivers received a radio broadcast.

The signal format was familiar. When the signal appeared on the Lyra, the staff immediately recognized it as a communication and broadcasting format commonly used by the Nair Civilization.

So when the staff saw this signal, they all assumed it was a communication from the Third Fleet.

It's a bit strange, because now, whether it's long-range information communication or close-range direct Video Communication between the coalition fleets, they are using the Allied Forces Command's channel, and rarely use this method of information communication as before.

Despite finding it strange, the staff followed procedure and began to decode and parse the message before having it translated by the translation system.

Just as the staff began to work, another message came through the Allied Forces Command channel, and upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the message was from the Third Fleet.

The Lyra carried the original "Tianhe Light," so the transcoding and translation system worked very quickly. In less than a breath, the two messages were translated and presented to everyone.

[Commander-in-Chief, something seems amiss. It's a message from an artificial intelligence entity broadcasting via Electromagnetic Wave Broadcast; it seems very angry.]

The message was short and had been confirmed to be from the Third Fleet. After the message appeared, the Lyra received a video communication request from Governor-General Nielsen.

The staff immediately connected him.

While the image of the Grand Governor of the Nair appeared on the large screen of the Lyra, Yue Yuan looked at another message.

Damn Nair Civilization, despicable Nair People, shameless Nair People, you actually buried so many hydrogen bombs, how dare you do this, you all deserve to die! You have provoked me time and time again, I will annihilate you all! No, I will make you watch your own people being killed by me one by one.

After I wipe out you pathetic worms, I'll go and kill all the Nair People on your ships. Don't think I don't know which star your ships have headed for. This time, none of you will escape. Don't think you can slow me down this way. Don't think I'm running out of fuel. Just wait, after I've killed you all, I'll still catch up with those stinking bugs who ran away beforehand!

"Artificial Intelligence Consciousness"

Upon seeing this message, Yue Yuan knew where it came from. No wonder it was a broadcast message; it turned out that the Resource Planet they had painstakingly conquered had been damaged and was temporarily unable to mine resources.

This is a case of being enraged and embarrassed.

What a pleasant surprise! It's like finding something you've been searching for everywhere without any effort at all.

They were just planning to charge the Artificial Intelligence fleet with the Second and Third Fleet, then feign defeat and taunt it. Now it seems they don't even need to put on that act of charging and feigning defeat.

Just then, the observer's voice rang out on the Lyra: "Commander Yue, the optical telescope reports that the Artificial Intelligence fleet has moved. Judging from the direction of their long trails of flame, they are probably heading towards us."

At this moment, Governor Nier, on the large screen in the main control room of the Lyra, also said, "Commander-in-Chief, you should have also received the angry message from the artificial intelligence consciousness. It seems that our plan has been successful. Should we continue the charge now?"

Why bother charging? They're already enraged and coming at us. We should hurry up and head to the Second Battlefield.

This Nair People's military acumen seems rather poor; Yue Yuan didn't know if he was faking it or if he genuinely wasn't.

"The plan has changed, and it's changing in a direction that's favorable to us. Therefore, our actions must naturally be assessed according to the situation," Yue Yuan said with a smile to the Grand Governor of Nair.

At this point, Yue Yuan instructed the communications officer to connect the Second Fleet Commander, Man Yuemei, to the Video Communication, and then spoke again, "I order the Second and Third Fleet to immediately follow this fleet in turning maneuvers, targeting the Second Battlefield area, execute immediately!"

"Clear!"

"A perfect plan, Commander-in-Chief!"

Seeing that the Commander of the two fleets agreed, Yue Yuan then tapped on his Work Platform and switched the speaking channel to another department.

"Communications Department, point the broadcast radar toward the Artificial Intelligence fleet. Let's give that lovely Artificial Intelligence Consciousness another push."
