Chapter 584 Breaking Into the Satellite
It was just a matter of a moment.
The huge meteorite was completely shattered in just a moment. Its shell, interior, everything was completely shattered and turned into dust under the unparalleled shock wave. The shock wave not only destroyed the experimental target, but also swept away other debris nearby. In the blink of an eye, the entire rubble belt was cleared of an almost clean "space".
"……………………"
Seeing this scene, everyone on the Minerva took a breath.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that this shell has such power..."
Captain Talia turned his head and looked at Duanmu Huai, who was playing with a seismic bomb.
"Uh... Your Excellency the Judge, can you please put down the shell? I'm just in case..."
"Oh, it's okay."
Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders, then took back the shell and put it behind him. I don't know what he did, and the shell disappeared.
"I've never seen a cannonball with such a huge power. How did they do it?"
Luna Maria blinked and rubbed her eyes, feeling like she was dreaming.
"Isn't it an illusion?"
"Oh, it's nothing, it's very simple, because this cannonball contains a piece of destroyed planet fragments."
"……………Destroyed………"
"………Planet fragments?"
"That's right."
Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers.
"In simple terms, when a planet explodes completely, we will use some method to seal the shock wave it explodes with the remaining fragments of the planet in the cannonball, and then take it out and blast it at the enemy when we attack."
"…………………"
Hearing this, everyone else's face changed. Although Duanmu Huai said it lightly, how powerful is the power generated by the explosion of a planet... They feel scared even if they think about it.
And the Inquisition would actually use this kind of power as a weapon, that's too cruel...
"But, this kind of fragment should be very precious."
Captain Talia was considering other issues. After all, generally speaking, planet explosions rarely happen. In her opinion, this should be something very difficult to get. Although Captain Talia was very happy that the Inquisition could help, if she and others owed a favor, it would be difficult to repay.
"It's not precious. Although it's a bit troublesome to make, it's not that precious."
"Hey? But isn't it said that this kind of fragment will only be produced when a planet explodes? There should be very few such cases in the universe."
"Of course, but it doesn't matter. We can blow it up ourselves."
"…………………………"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's careless answer, many people's brains were blank.
"………Blow it up yourself?"
"That's right, for the Inquisition, destroying a planet is a piece of cake. If there is not enough ammunition, we can find a planet and blow it up directly, and then collect the fragments to make it. You see, there are too many planets in the universe to count, so it's no problem to have a few less, right?"
Is that the problem?
Hearing Duanmu Huai's understated tone, everyone felt their scalps tingling. You know, that means completely destroying a planet! Even if Julius 7 falls to Earth, at most it will change the Earth's environment. Maybe many people will die, but some people will survive.
But what if the Earth explodes on the spot?
Needless to say, everyone will die, not a single one will be left.
"Possessing planet-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 Fei Niao even hugged his head directly.
"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 unusually solemn at this moment.
"To be honest, I think it's okay not to work hard on this..."
"That's not the way to say it. Just like a nuclear bomb, you can choose not to use it, but you can't live without it. Otherwise, if you don't have it and others do, then you're doomed, right? Of course, for our Inquisition, we have to use it."
"Hey? Do you want to use it?"
"What else?"
Duanmu Huai glanced at Lunamaria, who was also extremely surprised.
"Those aliens that attack humans also have their own home planets like humans. If those aliens come to attack humans, how should humans deal with them? It is obviously not enough to just repel their attacks. The best way is to completely destroy their homes once and for all, and completely wipe out these cursed residues from the universe to avoid them from causing trouble for humans in the future... If you don't remove the roots, they will grow again in the spring breeze. Isn't that the truth?"
"No, I... I..."
Facing Duanmu Huai'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 - completely destroying a race is really too terrible. Although there are extremists among the PLANT adjusters who claim to wipe out all natural humans on Earth, everyone knows that they are just talking.
Just like when they discussed the colony satellite falling to the earth just now, they just talked about it casually, because they all knew that this was definitely unrealistic. After all, neither the current New Earth Federation nor PLANT had the power to completely destroy each other.
But the Inquisition was different.
It was not until now that she realized how terrible this power was.
"Well, it may be too early for you kids."
Looking at Lunamaria's pale face, Duanmu Huai laughed and turned to look at Talia.
"Then Captain Talia? It should be possible to act."
"Ah, of course, we have sent an advance team to Julius 7, they should... ..."
"Report!"
However, before Captain Talia finished speaking, she was interrupted by the urgent report of the communicator.
"The advance team sent a report that they were attacked by unidentified armed forces!"
"————!"
Hearing this news, everyone was somewhat surprised, but not too surprised. After all, when they discussed it before, they had suspected that someone did it deliberately, which was why ZAFT asked Minerva to stop it. In fact, as some crew members on the Minerva said, they are not from Earth, so what does the life and death of Earth have to do with them?
Not to mention that ZAFT and the Earth Federation have had grievances in the past and in the present. There have been hundreds of battles between the two sides, and the casualties on both sides are more than hundreds of millions. They don't even have time to celebrate with champagne when the other side is in trouble, so why come to help?
Of course, ZAFT did this not out of humanitarian spirit, but because Speaker PLANT was worried that someone would make a fuss about this matter and say that they did it. Then PLANT and ZAFT would not be able to clear themselves even if they jumped into the galaxy. After all, the situation in this universe is mixed now, and who knows what forces will take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Since ZAFT should not bear the blame, they will definitely not bear it.
"Then let's do it according to the plan."
Duanmu Huai was not surprised at all.
"We will go inside the colony satellite to install seismic bombs, and you will be responsible for dealing with the enemies outside."
"No problem, but what if the other party has set traps inside..."
"Haha, come if you are not afraid of death."
Duanmu Huai said as he grabbed the thunder hammer in his hand and swung it violently.
"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 Lumiel. They will sneak into the wreckage of the colony satellite from the other side, and then install seismic bombs in the center, and then detonate them. As for Minerva and the mecha team, they are responsible for attracting the enemy's attention outside with great fanfare, so that Duanmu Huai and others can relax a little.
"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 Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.
"There are two contradictions. One is the contradiction between the Earth and other colonies, 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 technology that can reach the space colony within a few seconds, it will be fine. The problem is that they can't do it, so they can't maintain the control of the Earth over the colony satellite. In this way, the emperor is far away, and it is normal for the colony satellite to want to break away from the rule of the Earth and establish its own business."
"Then what about natural people and modified people?"
"The modified people are the next generation born after the Earthlings use gene adjustment technology to modify them."
"Hey? Modified? But I think everyone on the Minerva is no different from ordinary people."
"It's just some genetic tweaks. Of course, modified people also have places 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 modified people look the same as people on Earth, their speed, memory, reflexes, etc. are many times better than natural people."
"Is there any problem with this?"
"It's a big problem."
Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.
"Think about it, you need to rack your brains and work hard to write novels now."
"Hmm............"
"What if I adjust a cyborg so that he can easily acquire the writing talent that you will never have in your life, what would you think?"
"This............"
Hearing this, Mary suddenly looked embarrassed.
"This is the contradiction. The adjusted cyborg has abilities that ordinary people may not be able to obtain even if they work hard for a lifetime. Some people need to practice hard for decades to have a good singing voice, but cyborgs are better than them in singing casually. Some people can't remember things no matter how much they study, but cyborgs can remember everything they see. What do you think will happen in the long run?"
"………………"
Mary fell into deep thought and then shook her head.
"Is this the reason for the war?"
"Of course, after all, this gene adjustment technology requires a lot of money, which means that most people now can't get this power anyway. Jealousy, anger, pain... No matter what it is, it will definitely create a gap between natural people and cyborgs, and the gap will give rise to discrimination, discrimination will give rise to hatred, and hatred will turn into war..."
Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.
"But humans are like this, survival of the fittest, what will happen to them in the end depends on themselves. The Inquisition doesn't care about these. Even if the people here fight to the death for this, they are all human beings in the eyes of the Inquisition, 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 become bees, right?
And Lumiel's voice also sounded at this time.
"Report to the commander, we have arrived at the colony satellite."
"Oh? Let me see."
Duanmu Huai said while looking at the screen, and then saw the colony satellite that was slowly moving in the asteroid belt—its shape was like a big hourglass, big on both sides and thin in the middle, which looked weird. And the entire satellite looked extremely dilapidated in the dim universe.
Especially its dilapidated appearance, it shows that it has experienced a cruel war.
"Combat signals detected, it seems that everyone in Minerva has already started fighting with the other side."
"Then there is nothing for us to do, let's go, enter the satellite, and do our own work."
"Understood."
The next moment, the white fighter suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, it drilled into the gap of the colony satellite and disappeared into the darkness.
