Chapter 584 Breaking into the Satellite
It was just a moment.
The huge meteorite was completely shattered in just an instant. Its outer shell, inner parts, and everything were completely shattered by the unparalleled shock wave and turned into dust. The erupting shock wave not only destroyed the experimental target, but even other nearby debris was completely swept away. In the blink of an eye, the entire gravel belt was cleared into an almost clean "space".
"………………"
Seeing this scene, everyone on the Minerva gasped.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that this shell had such power..."
Captain Thalia pretended to look away and looked at Duanmuhuai, who was playing with a seismic bomb.
"Uh... Mr. Judge, could you please put down that cannonball? I'm just in case..."
"Oh, it's okay."
Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders, then withdrew the cannonball and put it behind him. He didn't know what he did, but the cannonball disappeared.
"I have never seen such a powerful cannonball. How on earth is this done?"
Lunamaria blinked and rubbed her eyes, feeling like she was dreaming.
"I must be seeing hallucinations."
"Oh, it's actually nothing. It's simple, because this shell contains a fragment of a destroyed planet."
"…………Destroyed……"
"......Planet fragments??"
"That's right."
Duanmuhuai snapped his fingers.
"To put it simply, when a planet explodes completely, we will use some method to seal the shock wave it erupts in a cannonball together with the remaining fragments of the planet, and then take it out to bombard the enemy during the attack. Just go over there.”
"………………"
Hearing this, everyone else's expressions changed. Although Duanmuhuai said it lightly, the power generated by the explosion of a planet is so powerful... Even if they think about it, they feel scared in their hearts.
And the Inquisition would actually use this kind of power as a weapon, that would be too cruel...
"However, this kind of fragment should be very precious."
Captain Thalia was thinking about other issues. After all, generally speaking, planet explosions rarely occur. In her opinion, this should be a very difficult thing to acquire. Although Captain Thalia is happy that the Inquisition can help, it will not be easy to repay if he and others owe him a favor.
"It's not precious. Although it's a bit troublesome to make, it's not that precious."
"Huh? But isn't it said that this kind of debris is produced when a planet explodes? This should rarely happen in the universe."
"Of course, but it doesn't matter, we can blow it up ourselves."
“……………………”
After hearing Duanmuhuai's nonchalant answer, many people's minds went blank.
"...Blow it up yourself?"
"Yes, for the Tribunal, it is easy to destroy a planet. If the ammunition is not enough, we can just find a planet and blow it up directly, and then collect the fragments to make it. You see, there are many planets in the universe. I can’t count them, but there’s nothing wrong with just a few, right?”
Is this the problem?
Hearing Duanmuhuai's understatement, everyone felt their scalps go numb. You must know that it would completely destroy a planet! Even if Julius 7 crashes to the earth, the most it will do is change the earth's environment. Many people may die, but some people will survive.
But what if the earth exploded in place?
Needless to say, they were all dead, not a single one was left.
"Having star-destroying weapons is a symbol of the maturity of a cosmic civilization, so you are still far away, so work hard slowly."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, everyone looked at each other, and Zhen Feiniao even hugged his head.
"I can't even imagine what that scene would be like."
"Me, me too..."
Lunamaria shuddered and spoke in a low voice. Even Camus, who was standing next to them, looked extremely solemn at the moment.
"To be honest, I think this can be done without working hard..."
"That's not what I'm saying. It's like a nuclear bomb. You don't have to use it, but you can't live without it. Otherwise, if no one else has it, then you're dead. Of course, for our Inquisition, we have to use it. ”
"Hey? Do you want to use it?"
"What if?"
Duanmuhuai glanced at Lunamaria, who was also extremely surprised.
"Those alien aliens that attack humans also have their own home planet like humans. If those alien aliens attack humans, how will humans deal with them? Simply repelling their attacks is obviously not enough. The best The way is to completely destroy their home once and for all, and completely erase these cursed remnants from the universe, so as to avoid them from coming to trouble humans again in the future... Isn't it the truth that if you don't remove the root of the grass, it will grow again with the spring breeze? ?”
"No, I...I..."
Facing Duanmuhuai's gaze, Lunamaria wanted to say something, but she felt as if a big stone was pressing on her chest, and she could hardly speak - it was really terrible to completely destroy a race. . Although among the adjusters of PLANT, there are also extremists who claim to wipe out all natural humans on the earth, but everyone knows that they are just talking.
Just like when they discussed the colonial satellite falling to the earth, they just talked casually because they all knew that this was definitely unrealistic. After all... neither the current New Earth Federation nor PLANT had enough power to completely destroy the other party.
But the Inquisition is different.
It wasn't until now that she realized how terrifying this power was.
"Okay, maybe it's too early for you kids."
Looking at Lunamaria's pale face, Duanmuhuai chuckled and turned to look at Thalia. "Then Captain Thalia? You should be ready to take action."
"Ah, of course, we have sent an advance team to Julius 7, they should..."
"Report!"
However, before Captain Thalia could finish her words, she was suddenly interrupted by the hurried report from the correspondent.
"The advance team reported that they were attacked by unknown armed forces!"
"————!"
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard the news, but they were not too surprised. After all, they had suspected that someone did this deliberately during the previous discussion. This is why ZAFT asked the Minerva to stop it. In fact, as some of the crew members on board the Minerva said, they are not Earthlings, and the life and death of the Earth has nothing to do with them.
Not to mention that ZAFT and the Earth Federation had grievances in the past and are now at odds with each other. There have been hundreds of battles between the two sides, with hundreds of millions of casualties on each side. The other side was unlucky and they couldn't even open the champagne to celebrate, so why did they come to help?
Of course, ZAFT did not do this out of any humanitarian spirit, but because Speaker PLANT was worried that someone would make a fuss about this matter and say it was them. By then, even if PLANT and ZAFT jumped into the galaxy, they would not be able to clean themselves up. . After all, the current situation in the universe is a mixed bag. Who knows what forces will take advantage of the troubled waters. Since ZAFT shouldn't take the blame, they certainly won't.
"Then just follow the plan."
Duanmu Huai was not surprised.
"We enter the colonial satellite to install seismic bombs, and you are responsible for dealing with the enemies outside."
"No problem, but what if the other party also sets a trap inside..."
"Haha, come if you are not afraid of death."
As Duanmuhuai spoke, he grabbed the thunder hammer in his hand and swung it suddenly.
"Do you really think that my judge is a vegetarian?"
After that, Duanmu Huai and others quietly left Minerva on the White Goddess driven by Lumière. They would sneak into the wreckage of the colonial satellite from the other side, install a seismic bomb in the center, and then detonate it. That's it. As for Minerva and the mecha team, they were responsible for attracting the enemy's attention with great fanfare outside, so that Duanmu Huai and others could relax.
"I really don't understand why the two sides are fighting..."
Looking at the asteroid belt outside the window, Mary couldn't help but sigh, while Duanmuhuai shrugged.
"There are two contradictions. One is the contradiction between the earth and other colonial satellites, and the other is the contradiction between natural people and modified people. The reason for the first contradiction is very simple, that is, the distance is too far. If the earth invents something that can The technology to reach space colonies within a few seconds is just that. The problem is that they can't do it, so they can't maintain the earth's control over the colonial satellites. In this way, if the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the colonial satellites will want to break away from the earth. It is also normal for people to rule on their own.”
"So what's going on with natural people and modified people?"
"Transformed humans are the next generation born after humans on Earth have been transformed using genetic modification technology."
"Huh? Has it been transformed? But I think everyone on the Minerva is no different from ordinary people."
"It's just some genetic fine-tuning. Of course, modified people also have things that natural people can't compare to. For example, if you want your child to have a good singing voice and a good appearance, just adjust the genes before birth. So. Basically, although the appearance of transformed people is the same as that of people on earth, their speed, memory, reflexes, etc. are many times better than natural people.”
"What's wrong with this?"
"The problem is big."
Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.
"Think about it, you need to rack your brains and energy to write a novel now."
"Hmm..."
"Then if I adjust a modified person so that he can easily acquire the writing talent that you will never have in your lifetime, what will you think?"
"This..."
Hearing this, Mary suddenly looked embarrassed.
"This is the contradiction. From the moment they are born, the modified people have abilities that ordinary people may not be able to acquire even if they work hard for a lifetime. Some people need to practice hard for decades before they can have a good singing voice. The modified people can sing at will. They are all better than them. Some people can’t remember things no matter how hard they study. If you transform people, you can forget them directly. What do you think will happen in the long run?”
"………………"
Mary was lost in thought, then shook her head.
"Is this the reason for the war?"
"Of course, after all, this kind of genetic modification technology costs a lot of money, which means that most people now have no way to obtain this kind of power. Jealousy, anger, pain... whatever it is, it's definitely good. It will create a gap between natural people and modified people, and the gap will breed discrimination, and discrimination will breed hatred, and hatred will turn into war..."
Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.
"But that's how human beings are. Survival of the fittest. What will happen to them in the end depends on themselves. The Tribunal doesn't care about this. Even if the people here fight to death for this, they are all human beings in the eyes of the Tribunal. There is no difference."
It's like two nests of ants fighting for survival, but in the eyes of ordinary people, ants are still ants, and they won't turn into bees, right?
And Lumière's voice also sounded at this moment.
"Report Commander, we have arrived at the colonial satellite."
"Oh? Let me see."
As Duanmuhuai spoke, he looked at the screen, and then he saw the colonial satellite that was slowly advancing in the asteroid belt - it looked like a big hourglass, with big sides and a thin middle, which looked weird. of. And the entire satellite looked extremely dilapidated in the dim universe.
Especially its dilapidated appearance shows that it has experienced a cruel war.
"A battle signal has been detected. It seems that everyone in Minerva has started fighting with each other."
"Then there's nothing for us to do. Let's go, enter the satellite, and let's do our own work."
"Understood."
The next moment, the white fighter jet suddenly accelerated, got into the gap in the colonial satellite in the blink of an eye, and disappeared into the darkness.
