Chapter 983 Planetary Bomb

Planetary bombs are weapons developed by humans in the early days of the Galactic Era to destroy planets in order to resist the army of alien creatures.

The structure of the planetary bomb is very simple and does not require a destructive weapon that combines the most powerful technology of mankind like the death beam.

It consists of an excavation device, a power system, a warhead, and a signal detonator.

Since the planet is detonated from the inside out, it does not require the energy power to directly destroy the entire planet.

This kind of bomb only needs to detonate the energy in the center of the earth, and then it can rely on the energy continuously released during a series of planetary collapses to achieve the effect of causing the entire planet to self-destruct.

This planetary bomb has two disadvantages.

First, after the bomb was excavated to the center of the earth, most of the structure was basically destroyed by the strong pressure and heat inside the planet, and it could no longer be withdrawn.

In other words, once a planetary bomb is deployed, it must be detonated.

Humans can only control the timing of detonation.

The second disadvantage is that once the planetary bomb is detonated, no matter whether it is a habitable planet or an uninhabitable planet, it will cease to exist.

Moreover, the entire starry sky will be filled with countless planet fragments due to the huge power of the planet explosion.

Basically, it creates a large no-man's land in the starry sky, as well as a no-navigation zone for spacecraft.

But considering that this kind of weapon method was originally developed by mankind in the early days to resist the attack of the alien biological army.

So the second disadvantage is also the biggest advantage of this weapon.

At this time, the United Zhengfu Army Formation, composed of thousands of warships, encountered exactly this method.

After the Black Gold Alliance obtained the combat tactics of the United Zhengfu Army, it was able to accurately know which star regions the United Zhengfu Army's attack routes were.

Even the specific order of the planets they will attack, as well as the number of troops deployed in each direction when attacking these star fields, are all clear.

Therefore, the Black Gold Alliance used self-destruction to deal with the United Zhengfu Army formation attacking in this direction.

After evacuating all residents of several habitable planets in advance, build a large number of artificial bunkers.

Then, a large number of mechanical turrets controlled by automatic defense systems are deployed at different locations.

With enough firepower, the United Zhengfu Army believed that there were a large number of Black Gold Alliance troops hidden on the surface of these planets.

After luring all the United Zhengfu Army troops into the planet's low-Earth orbit, remotely detonate the planetary bomb.

Use the powerful destructive power produced by the self-destruction of several planets to wipe out all the United Imperial Army fleets in this star field.

After nearly a minute, the powerful light produced by the self-explosion of several planets gradually faded away.

The Dongzhou-class battleship, as the commander-in-chief of the corps formation, escaped the disaster because it needed to stay behind to command and did not get too close to the starry sky of several planets.

At this time, the people who were the commanders of this joint army stared blankly at the scene full of planet fragments floating in the starry sky in the distance, and could not see any shadow of their own fleet at all.

The soldiers at the lower level were all frightened.

After a long period of astonishment, most of the middle-level officers had come to their senses.

They quickly asked their soldiers to contact the battleships in the formation.

Want to confirm which battleships survived.

As for the lieutenant general, who was the formation commander of the corps, he felt desperate at this moment.

As a senior general, he naturally understands the power of planetary bombs and self-destruction of planets.

As long as it is a warship close to the planet, no warship below the Dongzhou-class battleship can withstand the power of the planet's self-destruction.

Not to mention entering low-Earth orbit and atmosphere, and landing on the surface of the planet.

Even a Dongzhou-class battleship will die without even a scrap left.

The corps formation commander murmured:

"It's over...

It’s over…it’s all over…”

Even the stupidest commander allows the entire fleet to rush into the enemy's encirclement.

Nor would the entire army be annihilated without destroying a single enemy warship.

Now it's better. Thousands of warships on our side were almost completely destroyed without even seeing the shadow of the Black and Gold Alliance Army.

The total number of surviving battleships of all types is probably less than a hundred.

In this case, even if it was unintentional or because the enemy was too cunning, it would be difficult for him to escape the military court afterwards.

What awaits him is life imprisonment, which is almost like a death sentence.

As expected by the senior general, the soldiers of the communications battalion below received no reply from any warship no matter how they called.

The only reply was from the dozens of large battleships that, like them, did not move forward because they were escorting the command ship.

His lieutenants were also at a loss.

However, when they saw that their boss had completely given up, they all tried to persuade him:

"Sir, don't give up, we still have some battleships left.

Maybe if we continue to attack the Black Gold Alliance and perform meritorious deeds, we won't be sentenced. "

When these officers said this, they were just taking chances.

The commander said helplessly:

"Haha, we only have a hundred battleships left, and I'm afraid even the stronger ground firepower of the Black Gold Alliance planet won't be able to break through.

In this case, how can we make meritorious deeds?

Haha...ha...hahaha..."

As the commander spoke, his whole body turned from helpless to a group of almost crazy giggles.

......

In the Black Gold Alliance star field, at the location of the planet's self-destruction, on some warships in the starry sky behind.

Looking at the display in front of them that was already flashing with pale snowflakes, the officers of the Black Gold Alliance Army understood that the planetary bomb should have been successfully detonated.

A subordinate officer saw his superior put down the detonator and leaned against the back of the command seat to smoke a cigar. He couldn't help but walk forward and asked with a smile:

"Boss, the warships of the United Government Army are basically in the death zone of the planetary explosion.

After the planetary explosion, the number of warships that can survive and still have combat power is definitely not much.

Why don't we take the initiative to attack and destroy or seize the remaining warships of the United Government Army?"

As the commander of this Black Gold Alliance fleet, the man smoking a cigar did not speak, but waved his hand, signaling his subordinate to come forward.

Seeing this, the subordinate officer just walked forward with a smile, and was slapped on the forehead by the superior officer man.

The cigar-smoking general said unhappily:

"You also know that several planets have exploded, and there are not many fleets left of the United Government Army.

The starry sky is full of planetary fragments, and if things go wrong, it will hit the warships and cause damage.

Why should we take the initiative to go there when we have nothing to do?"

After being taught a lesson, the subordinate officers regretted that they should not have taken the initiative to propose to touch this bad luck.
