Chapter 277 Demolish a planet!
Inside the G16 galaxy in Lyra, Li Qingsong's massive industrial construction and technological development activities are still ongoing.

The highly concentrated stellar light from the star continued. At this moment, it was like a giant porcupine with infinite spikes and unlimited power, constantly firing its spikes into interstellar space, causing great trouble for Li Qingsong.

Under these attacks, Li Qingsong became ruthless and directly drew a considerable portion of his industrial strength to form a huge industrial fleet and came to the vicinity of a dwarf planet.

A dwarf planet is defined as one whose mass creates a gravity that gives it a spherical shape, meaning it is in hydrostatic equilibrium, but it does not have enough gravity to clear its orbit.

According to this definition, the lower limit of the radius of a dwarf planet is about 400 kilometers.

At this moment, Li Qingsong's target is such a smallest dwarf planet.

It has a radius of only 410 kilometers and is mainly composed of water ice and rock, with an average density of about 1.9 grams per cubic centimeter.

Based on this calculation, its total mass reaches about 5.5*10^17 tons.

Among the planets, it is undoubtedly small, but as a planet, it is still a real giant.

You know, the flying star that Li Qingsong created with great difficulty had a total mass of only 200 trillion tons, which is only one 2750th of this dwarf planet.

And now, what Li Qingsong wants to do is actually very simple.

Tear down this dwarf planet!
Break it into pieces, install thrusters on them all, and throw all the dwarf planet fragments onto the stars!
Hydrogen bombs and spacecraft can't deal with you electromagnetic creatures. Now, I'm going to tear apart a dwarf planet and throw it over there to see if you can withstand it!

This means a huge amount of work that even Li Qingsong finds difficult.

After all, this is a real huge planet.

However, at this moment, his own technology had already been promoted to the strong nuclear stage, and had made tremendous progress during the long escape. Moreover, during the war with the Haveler civilization, he had a complete industrial system. The Shengong AI also had a performance leap during this stage.

All these factors combined gave Li Qingsong enough confidence to ensure that the two most important things, scientific and technological research and development and industrial production, continued to advance, and he could do this while enduring electromagnetic biological harassment.

At this moment, many giant industrial spacecraft, supercomputing spacecraft, passenger spacecraft, energy spacecraft, etc. are in place.

Countless clones and robots also gathered around this dwarf planet.

Because there is a large amount of water ice on this dwarf planet, and water ice can be electrolyzed into hydrogen and oxygen, and hydrogen can be used for fusion to provide energy, Li Qingsong does not even need to mobilize an additional energy transport fleet to obtain sufficient supplies on this dwarf planet.

Then, countless giant machines began to work busily like ants.

The first thing to be built was a space elevator.

The surface gravity of this dwarf planet is only about 0.24 meters per second squared, which is only one-fortieth of the Earth's gravity. It is very simple and convenient to build a space elevator here.

In a short period of time, Li Qingsong produced 1000 of them.

The next step is to cut the star.

On this dim surface full of mountains and canyons, cutting tools made of strong nuclear materials can cut through hard rocks and water ice effortlessly like cutting tofu.

These planetary materials were cut into cubes, each of which was 100 meters in length, width and height.

Their volume is one million cubic meters and their mass is about 190 million tons. On a large planet like Earth, it is not an easy task to transport such a cube weighing 190 million tons into space.

But the gravity of this planet is too low. The low gravity not only greatly reduces the weight of these cubes, but also greatly increases the carrying capacity of the space elevator.

So these cubes were pulled into space one by one and temporarily stored in the same circumstellar orbit as the dwarf planet.

While mining a large number of rock cubes, Li Qingsong did not relax the mining of water ice.

In space, Li Qingsong has a special industrial electrolysis spacecraft responsible for processing this water ice.

The water ice is first melted and purified to remove impurities before being placed in an electrolytic cell, where it is split into hydrogen and oxygen.

Oxygen is used for breathing, and hydrogen is supplied to the giant nuclear fusion energy spacecraft that also remain in orbit. It is then transferred to other industrial spacecraft and a large number of machines working on the surface of the planet through superconducting cables or wireless power transmission technology.

The power transmission field created by Li Qingsong now covers the entire dwarf planet. All machinery operating on the dwarf planet's surface no longer needs to be connected to cables or have its own power source.

As long as they operate within this transmission field, they have an almost unlimited supply of electricity.

Thus, under the direct manipulation of the Shengong AI and the decision-making of the clones, the towering mountains on this dwarf planet were directly flattened, and the crisscrossing canyons gradually disappeared.

It's not that these canyons were filled in, but that the ground on both sides of the canyons was directly dug down.

Huge cubes were cut out of the planet one after another and temporarily stored in space, and the radius of the dwarf planet continued to decrease.

At this moment, its radius has been reduced to only 350 kilometers, and its overall mass has shrunk by 38%!

In contrast, Li Qingsong created an asteroid belt out of thin air in space, with the number of stars in it reaching about 2000 billion!

Due to the reduction in mass, the surface gravity of this dwarf planet has also further decreased, from the original 0.24 meters per second squared to only 0.14 meters per second squared at this moment. Its escape velocity has also dropped to only about 280 meters per second, forcing Li Qingsong's spacecraft in space to slow down further in order to continue to orbit it.

If the speed were any faster, it would have broken free from its gravity and flown away.

Time continued to pass rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 years had passed.

At this moment, a vast asteroid belt had truly taken shape. Where the dwarf planet had once stood, only a cube-shaped object, only a dozen kilometers long, remained.

Li Qingsong was too lazy to dig deeper into this "core".

The volume is too small and the working area is also small. Besides, there are enough small celestial bodies now, so there is no need to continue digging.

At this moment, looking at the densely packed small celestial bodies in space, with a total number reaching 5000 billion, Li Qingsong once again sent a message to the G16 galaxy in Lyra.

"Electromagnetic beings, listen up!"
