Planet-Destroying Extraction

"The ship is entering the orbit of the third planet in the Ambeta III planetary system!"

"The gravity control system is activating, counteracting Andromeda's own gravitational pull!"

"All personnel to your stations! Prepare to capture the resource planet!"

As the announcement spread throughout the ship, all crew members rushed to their respective posts.

Andromeda had arrived in the Ambeta III planetary system fifteen days earlier.

After five days of meticulous scanning, Tang Shizhe finally determined that the third planet in the system would be captured by Andromeda and turned into raw materials for building space stations and starships.

This planet, rich in all kinds of precious metals, contained nearly every metal needed for shipbuilding.

Moreover, with only one-eighth of Earth's volume, it was perfectly suited to being dragged into the planetary extraction chamber for dismantling and mining.

Ever since Tang Shizhe awakened all the hibernating crew members three months ago, the entire ship had entered a state of emergency combat readiness.

All awakened crew members had immediately been assigned to their posts and began restoring the ship's production modules at full capacity.

After identifying the target, Andromeda spent ten days adjusting its orbit until it matched the target resource planet's speed and orbital path.

When the red warning lights inside the ship lit up, Andromeda redirected energy from its weapons and propulsion systems into the gravity control module.

Through the gravity control module, Andromeda's gravitational pull would approach that generated by a battleship, without causing any significant impact on the target planet's orbit.

This was only the first step.

Once the ship moved behind the planet along its direction of travel, it aimed the "blossomed" "stamen" of the ship at the planet.

Mechanical arms twenty thousand kilometers long extended from Andromeda and pressed directly against the surface of the resource
