Chapter 1325 - 502: Dormancy and Advancement_2

"Unless he blows up the planet into fragments himself, he cannot achieve his goal. Furthermore, to ensure absolute safety, I will use all means to block their foreign trade, and I won’t allow their solar energy capturing devices to easily approach South Nine Star to collect nuclear fusion materials. As for South Nine Star System and nearby gaseous planets, hehe, Nanxiang’s Earldom has already acquired them all at a very low price, now they are Nanxiang Marquis’s private property. They don’t have the tiniest chance."

Viscount Nan Jiu’s speculation about the Source Star Fleet’s situation is largely correct.

Through high-efficiency research, Ren Zhong finally confirmed that white ants cannot withstand temperatures exceeding ten million degrees Celsius and will be instantly killed, leaving behind a crystal with a very unique structure at the site.

Additionally, researchers have discovered a substance that white ants cannot decompose.

It is precisely the ivory collected from the Mother Empress Ship battle, a tusk belonging to the sublimated super soldier species, the Giant Elephant.

Engineers are currently using high-energy jets exceeding thirty million degrees Celsius to etch these tusks with the aim of creating a container capable of holding white ants.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Slayer Science Academy is collaborating with other institutes to perform calculations to determine the total raw material needed to create the high temperatures required to globally cover using three-phase nuclear fusion explosions.

About half a day later, the Dragon Slayer Institute submitted a report to Ren Zhong.

Unlike the Source Star Science Academy’s approach to planetary transformation via nuclear fusion, there are changes in the methods and areas of detonation to eradicate white ants.

In this plan, billions of small to medium-yield Three-Phase Bombs need to be simultaneously deployed and detonated at low-altitude heights, utilizing the high temperatures of over ten million degrees from the explosion center area to cover them hoping to instantly wipe out all white ants, sparing none. Otherwise, with the terrifying reproductive capability of these creatures, this explosion would be entirely futile.

Moreover, according to multiple verifications via high-resolution neutrino and gravitational wave scanning, it can be determined that the current white ant colony is still only active on the planet’s surface, so this explosion plan has some feasibility.

However, the current problem is, based on preliminary calculations, to achieve such an explosion, the fleet would need to operate at maximum productivity and manufacture enough stellar wind particle capturing equipment at the fastest speed, then head to places near South Nine Star to collect raw materials.

Completing all this would take at least thirty years at the earliest.

At the same time, Ju Qingmeng and Huo Donghua have detected Liu An’s preparation early on, cutting off the fleet’s easy access to collect materials from nearby gaseous planets. Thus, the Dragon Slayer Institute proposed a thirty-year timeline, which is ten years less than Sosgate’s estimated time.

The reason is because the fleet collected a substantial amount of nuclear fusion raw materials in advance following Ren Zhong’s frugal management habits after detonating Star C1915.

Although the fleet has consumed much of the nuclear fusion raw materials after depleting the reserve batteries due to long detours and other needs during the voyage, there is still a portion left.

Ren Zhong, after reviewing the report, felt it was indeed feasible.

However, he had strong opinions about the thirty-year timeline.

Nobody understood the habits of white ants; Ren Zhong intuitively judged, combined with foresight ability, that a change he did not wish to see might occur before thirty years.

Consequently, Ren Zhong proposed a new idea: can the Three-Phase Bomb be modified to place a reflector plate above the explosion section with a neutron coating as the core stress surface to increase the altitude of the explosive point, allowing each bomb to cover more area, thus reducing the amount of Fusion Bombs needed and shortening the preparation time?

The Dragon Slayer Institute and the Academy of Sciences proposed that although the fleet internally has readily available neutron coating materials, beyond the coating, the reflector plate itself needs to be made from exploratory Imperial Technology Superalloy, and this requires tackling. It may be achievable, but no one dares to guarantee it.

Ren Zhong further asked, assuming the reflector plate was realized and reached a heat reflection level of over 35%, would twenty years be enough to collect materials?

After joint calculations between the Academy and Sun Ai, they quickly provided feedback.

It still requires twenty-two years to collect materials.

But at this point, upon learning of the new situation, the Source Star Science Academy proposed yet another new idea.

They could improve the detonation method of the three-phase fusion bomb, adding a vacuum compression phase to increase the energy released in the explosion by over 40% using the same amount of raw materials.

Through comprehensive calculations, if the Source Star Science Academy realizes the new detonation method, the material collection time will be shortened to eighteen years.

Eighteen years is a conservative estimate, with the best case being sixteen years.

In addition to providing the improved Three-Phase Bomb scheme, the Source Star Science Academy also gave more analysis reports.

They believe the possibility of white ants spreading underground must be considered. This spread might be related to the unit area density of white ants. The fleet should use laser irradiation to suppress the reproductive speed of white ants as much as possible.

Incidentally, they can use laser scanning irradiation to attempt driving white ants towards the planet’s thermal and cold focal points.

Although such high temperatures and low temperatures cannot restrict the reproduction of white ants, they can utilize the trait of this creature that consumes all matter to gradually alter the planet’s landscape.

If everything goes smoothly, by the time detonation can occur, the mass distribution change of South Nine C might just develop to the level of unlocking tidal locking.

Only one detonation is needed, using the powerful impact of high heat and high-energy air, perhaps it can complete the final micro-adjustment to shape South Nine C into a temporarily deserted yet constantly rain-drenched normal planet. Temperatures might be high, but at least it has rotation.

With Ren Zhong’s continuous inquiry, the forty billion people on the Source Star Fleet and the nearly three hundred billion people in the Source Star System rapidly mobilized, pooling collective wisdom and resources, ultimately finding a theoretically feasible solution within just seven days.

During these seven days, Viscount Nan Jiu never stopped probing South Nine C using astronomical telescopes scattered throughout the Star System.
