Letting the Purple Moon witness the destruction of the Demonic Eye Nation was the most important reason Tom kept them alive and didn’t directly kill them.
Don’t you Demonic Eyes willingly dedicate everything to the Demonic Eye?
Don’t you endure any pain for the sake of the Demonic Eye?
Don’t you prefer to die entirely to ensure the Demonic Eye’s interests?
Then I will let you witness the destruction of the Demonic Eye Nation!
re physical torture, no matter how painful, would not vent the anger in my heart! Not just physically, I will also inflict the greatest spiritual tornt upon you!
Just wait, just wait...
Tom’s gaze turned to the enormous star, which had already expanded to a radius of 50 million kiloters.
On that star, the battle of the Electromagnetic Life had already concluded.
Those life forms, resembling red light spheres, had left the star and arrived within Tom’s main fleet.
"Your Excellency, we have... killed all of our ancestors. They have all been liberated and no longer have to endure that tornt."
Electric Disaster’s words were filled with grief and sorrow.
Tom sighed and said, "Things here are finished. Electric Disaster, are you still willing to follow ?
If you wish to leave and live freely in this universe, then I can let you go."
To this day, strategic weapons like the Stellar Cannon are extrely important to Tom. Even if he advances to a Gravity Civilization in the future, this weapon will still be imnsely powerful and can still be called a strategic weapon.
But similarly, Tom is unwilling to force anyone or anything that poses no threat to him.
For entities like the Purple Moon, with whom he has deep-seated hatred, Tom can unhesitatingly inflict the most cruel punishnts, from physical to spiritual tornt. For entities like Electric Disaster, he never hesitates to show kindness.
Only by continuing to uphold the values and moral concepts left behind by Human Civilization can Tom feel that he is still a human.
Facing Tom’s inquiry, Electric Disaster remained silent for a long ti before replying, "In this vast universe... where else can we go?
Our very existence is a sin.
I hope to continue following you and contribute all we can to the developnt of your civilization. At least by following you, we won’t have to worry about what happened to our ancestors happening to us again."
"Very well."
Tom slowly nodded: "From now on, you are a mber of Human Civilization, just like the Viller Race, Bluetoth Clan, and Red Ear Race. You are the Electromagnetic Clan! Electric Disaster, you are the Leader of the Electromagnetic Clan."
"As you command, Your Excellency."
"Now, return to your spacecraft and rest. There will be tasks for you to carry out later."
"Yes."
After resolving matters related to the Electromagnetic Life, Tom truly dedicated himself and the industrial might of his many intelligent life forms to the task of detonating the supernova.
The first thing to do was simple.
Push the planet closest to the star to collide with it!
It was evident that the more the star expanded and the larger its volu, the lower its gravitational control over the outer stellar matter. This would make it easier and faster for the white dwarf to capture stellar matter.
How to make the star expand further?
It was simple: push a planet into it, and the goal would be achieved.
Although compared to this star, that planet was extrely small. Neither its volu nor its mass was significant.
But a collision of this magnitude was entirely sufficient to disrupt the entire stellar structure, destroy its internal layering, make its stellar activity several tis more intense, and further accelerate its expansion rate.
Just like when the Shoemaker-Levy cot collided with Jupiter in the Solar System.
In the first impact, rely a four-kiloter-sized cot fragnt—utterly insignificant compared to Jupiter, which has a radius of tens of thousands of kiloters—created a haze zone larger than Earth on Jupiter, completely disrupting Jupiter’s climate.
Now, the impact of this planet would have a similar effect.
Only...
Tom had only ever pushed dwarf planets with radii of a few hundred kiloters at most. He had never pushed a large planet like the one before him, which had a radius of 3,600 kiloters, larger than Mars.
The engineering difficulty was also incomparable.
Such a massive planet could essentially be regarded as a "water ball" at the planetary level.
At the planetary level, even tough rock layers would flow like fluids, and the distinction between solids and liquids was not very clear.
This ant that if the power of the planetary thrusters was large enough, they would inevitably penetrate into the planet’s interior. If the power was not large enough, it would be impossible to move the planet at all.
Fortunately, even before reaching this solar system, Tom had already found an engineering solution to this problem.
From a planetary perspective, there is no solid surface on a planet? No problem, I will artificially create a solid surface!
Now that the Purple Moon Civilization had been dealt with and there were no more threats within the solar system, Tom imdiately launched large-scale industrial construction simultaneously on a total of five large planets.
Factories, power plants, mines, shipyards, machinery factories, and so on, sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
In just one year, over a trillion general-purpose robots and nurous intelligent machines descended upon planet G76a.
According to the planet’s topography, one large pit after another was rapidly excavated.
Each of these large pits had a depth of at least 10,000 ters and an area of at least 1 square kiloter.
After excavating to the bottom, Tom would also extend outward in layers, at least to an area of 100 square kiloters before stopping.
For each such large pit excavated, Tom needed to move 10 cubic kiloters of earthwork, approximately 26 billion tons or more.
According to Tom’s estimation, the total mass of the famous Mount Tai on Earth is only about 270 billion tons. At this mont, for each such large pit excavated, Tom was equivalent to moving one-tenth the mass of Mount Tai!
But at this mont, the number of large pits Tom excavated on this planet was over 2 million!
After the large pits were excavated, nurous cent-like special reinforcent materials produced from other planets and this planet’s local resources were poured in, filling all the empty cavities.
These materials would quickly solidify, possessing extrely high strength, and ultimately form a "base."
It was upon this base that Tom began the construction of the planetary thrusters.
One by one, colossal planetary thrusters, like towering swords, with heights of over 10,000 ters and radii of over 5 kiloters, were built, densely packed, making the planet resemble a hedgehog.
This project was so vast that even with Tom’s industrial capabilities, it took him a full decade to complete.
Afterward, all these planetary thrusters were activated simultaneously under Tom’s command.
Energy from nurous nuclear fusion power stations surged forth, accelerating the pulverized earthwork—excavated from the large pits—through an electromagnetic acceleration chanism to speeds of tens of thousands of kiloters per second, then violently ejecting it into space.
Millions of gigantic planetary engines started simultaneously, ejecting at the sa ti. The next mont, a massive cot tail appeared on this planet, extending rapidly into deep space.
A rough calculation showed Tom that the total kinetic energy of this planet’s rotation was approximately 2.38 tis 10^28 J.
This amount of energy was so imnse that if there were a thod to completely transfer it and use it to boil seawater on Earth, it could boil all the seawater on Earth to complete vaporization six tis over!
And what Tom needed to do now was to completely counteract this energy, stopping its rotation.
With the activation of the planetary engines and the surging energy pressing against the planet’s surface, violent earthquakes imdiately began to occur on the planet, one after another, ceaselessly.
Volcanoes also began to erupt, with endless smoke and dust rolling forth. At the sa ti, mountains collapsed, valleys filled, and the world was turned upside down.
Finally, under this imnse reaction force, the planet’s rotation slowly ceased, and it began to always face the star with one side and always turn its back to the star with the other. The planet’s surface was now almost entirely covered by molten rock.
Because the energy of its rotation and the energy of the planetary thrusters canceled each other out, they had been converted into heat. Thus, the entire surface of this planet was lted.
Fortunately, Tom’s planetary thrusters were sturdy enough and perford well enough to continue operating under these conditions.
After stopping the planet’s rotation, the next step was to compress its orbit.
Normally, a more economical thod would be to slow down its orbital speed, which would cause it to slowly fall under the star’s gravity.
While this thod was simple and economical, it had one problem: it was too slow.
Tom didn’t have that much ti.
So, he adopted a faster and more direct thod.
Directly compress its orbit, directly push it into the star!
The 2 million planetary thrusters were all activated again, pushing with full force towards the star.
This ti, because the direction was the sa as the star’s light pressure and radiation pressure, the exhaust plus from the 2 million planetary thrusters were not dispersed by the star, but instead maintained a relatively straight state.
Thus, the enormous "cot tail" extending from this planet was like a sharp sword, stretching straight for billions of kiloters, even encompassing the other few large planets, and could be clearly seen even from trillions of kiloters away.
As if an arrow flying through the air had been violently struck, the planet’s orbital path suddenly lowered. Based on the star’s gravity, its orbital speed began to increase.
Its orbit gradually changed from a nearly circular ellipse to increasingly flattened.
Its periapsis moved closer and closer to the star, while its apoapsis moved further and further away.
Eventually, its periapsis shortened to only a few hundred thousand kiloters from the star.
The star’s radius had now expanded to about 50 million kiloters. If it were shrunk to the size of Earth, then the planet’s perihelion, when converted, would be only about 50 kiloters from the star’s surface!
There was no clear boundary between the star and interstellar space; Tom simply used the point within the star’s atmosphere where the stellar matter density reached a certain standard as the boundary.
There was also stellar matter beyond this boundary.
At this mont, it could be said that the planet was still hundreds of thousands of kiloters from the star, but it could also be said that the planet had already entered the star’s atmosphere.
Thus, the planet began to rub violently against the thin matter in the star’s outer layers.
Its surface temperature began to rise sharply once again, even exceeding 6,000 degrees Celsius. It dragged a long tail of fla behind it, making it look like a giant teor.
The 2 million planetary thrusters built by Tom simultaneously lit up with pale blue energy shields, protecting all components and isolating all stellar matter to prevent damage to themselves.
Amidst violent flight and intense friction, the planet quickly escaped the star’s atmosphere.
But this ti, its aphelion was tens of millions of kiloters shorter than the last ti.
The reason was simple: its orbital speed was severely weakened during the intense friction with the star’s atmosphere.
According to Tom’s calculations, the next ti it reached its perihelion, it would plunge directly into the star!
This mont did not make Tom wait too long. Just over ten days later, it reached its aphelion and then approached the star again.
Seizing this last working period, the 2 million planetary thrusters were still pushing violently.
As the distance to the star shortened, its speed beca faster and faster.
Friction with the stellar matter began again. But unlike last ti, this friction was more intense, the deceleration effect was better, and the planet’s surface temperature was higher!
This ti, even Tom’s energy shield could not withstand such intense energy intrusion.
The giant engines, which stood like mountains on the planet’s surface, at this mont seed to be ground down by a grinding machine, gradually becoming smaller and shorter, eventually disappearing completely.
Tom completely lost contact with this planet and could only obtain its real-ti position and movents through external observation.
Finally, the planet completely disappeared and could no longer be seen.
