Starting from the Planetary Governor
Chapter 1674 - 949: Blood Rose Maze
Veselani claims that the Dark Spirit Race has the ability to destroy the entire Comoros.
Whether it is true or not is unknown.
Because it is very difficult.
During the human invasion of Comoros, they assessed the destructive effect of the Extinction Order weapons on Comoros, and the outlook was not very optimistic.
Not to mention that the Extinction Order could be intercepted, and after it is deployed, their own troops inside Comoros would also suffer losses.
Just looking at the destructive effect, whether it’s the Skyburn Torpedo or even higher-level Earth-Shattering Star, they probably can’t achieve the intended effect.
The core of the Skyburn Torpedo lies in igniting the planet’s atmosphere, burning everything on the surface clean, leaving only a layer of lava on the surface, which slowly extinguishes, eventually returning to desolation.
Though Comoros also has an atmosphere, the feature of its veil lies in the fact that the atmosphere is artificially created and segmented.
Even if the Skyburn Torpedo ignites an area, it may not spread for long.
It doesn’t even need to be artificially cut; between each ’city’ and ’district’, it is inherently discontinuous.
The Earth-Shattering Star is similar. This is essentially a terrifying ground-drilling super bomb, burrowing through the planet’s crust, exploding from the mantle layer of the planet, with huge and special energy conducted to the core, causing a horrific internal reaction, collapsing and exploding from the inside out to achieve the effect of destroying the entire planet.
Like the Skyburn Torpedo, though the Earth-Shattering Star is much more powerful and technologically advanced, it essentially also involves destroying the planet’s structure to achieve the ’extinction’ effect.
But Comoros is not a celestial structure. Using an Earth-Shattering Star may have the effect of a large bomb, an uncontrollable bomb that might destroy one or two districts? But that to Comoros as a whole is insignificant.
Especially as humans have occupied part of the Comoros territory, their understanding of this city built between veils has become clearer.
Comoros probably isn’t a physical whole in the traditional sense, but rather resembles a city made up of countless non-contiguous cities and districts.
This composite assembly technology seems like unintelligible scripture to humans, and currently remains incomprehensible.
At present, whether it’s the Great Sage Kao’er or the Alliance’s scholars and technical experts, there is a common consensus that the current human technology cannot effectively destroy Comoros. At most, using some extinction-level weapons to perform single destruction on a single district.
But even so, it is not very realistic.
The cost is too high.
Even the cheapest Skyburn Torpedo has a lengthy production cycle and high cost.
And success cannot be guaranteed.
Not to mention interception might occur mid-way, and ignoring the potential for friendly fire, even if successfully deployed, the atmosphere of a single district differs vastly from that of an entire planet, and the probability of successful ignition might be below thirty percent.
Various factors combined almost mean that attempting to destroy Comoros with such weapons is not feasible.
Moreover, even without considering the Dark Spirit Race’s resistance, the human side cannot find a suitable way to totally destroy Comoros, so scholars and researchers naturally doubt whether the Dark Spirit Race is grandstanding?
They themselves might not have the ability to destroy Comoros.
Just pretending.
However, this matter must be taken seriously. It is imprudent to believe everything is bluff and then when pushed to a moment of species-level crisis, blow up Comoros.
At that point, it would be like drawing water with a sieve.
Not only would the most desired gains be unattainable, but the Alliance’s heavy military group invested in Comoros would also suffer.
Furthermore, in proving the Dark Spirit Race lacks the ability to destroy Comoros, Ambassador Deska lays out the argument straightforwardly.
Even if taunted by the Dark Spirit Race as human short-lived kinds with narrow vision, and the Dark Spirit Race certainly possessing such technology, Deska assumes the attitude of ’no matter what you say, I just don’t believe.’
Otherwise, this black skin might actually use destroying their own home and mutual destruction as leverage to manipulate humanity?
If you can do it, self-destruct, and have your entire race perish.
From a rational perspective, it surely is more miserable than unconditional surrender, and can only serve as a game condition. Rather than engaging in a game with the Dark Spirit Race on this condition, humanity resolutely denies the authenticity of this condition.
Unless the Dark Spirit Race presents its trump card of being able to destroy Comoros as tangible evidence before the Alliance.
But if so, they would also reveal the Alliance’s countermeasures.
In a situation where the Dark Spirit Race doesn’t want to self-prove and even if proven, the Alliance doesn’t respond or acknowledge, destroying Comoros can only be considered an ultimate means, hung there, unused.
Besides that, their core competitive condition is down to one: they can inflict unbearable damage on humans on the battlefield.
On this point, on the battlefield, the Dark Spirit Race is attempting to exhibit its value.
...
On the battlefield inside Comoros, in the previous two or three months, humans launched a wave of offensive frenzy. Not only clearing several districts of the black skin guerilla squads but also extending the front line to a further distance. They are even not far from occupying the next port.
