Chapter 1002 Break Through the Mantle! Destroy Vesta!

Monday, November 2, the first day after Halloween, and it was also the first day Zhang Yanhang left the world of ashes. At 9:45 am, the Vesta.

After arriving at the periphery of Vesta, Zhang Yanhang briefly scanned the environment of Vesta and found that this was indeed a very classic asteroid, with a bare outer layer, with nothing except the rock layer, and there was also a large trough formed by a large number of meteorites impacting.

The largest large pit is located on the inside, which is suspected to be hit by a giant meteorite, causing the entire Vesta to become an irregular sphere, protruding outwardly on the outside.

To put it more vividly, it was like someone was punched in the head and then a big bag was grown.

To divide it specifically, the composition of asteroids is mainly divided into three types, the first type is natural formation.

As for how to form naturally, it is actually the same principle as the formation method of ordinary planets. However, these asteroids are half growing and have a much smaller body than normal planets, so they are called asteroids, which is also the source of the name of the asteroid.

The second asteroid is formed by gathering, that is, a large number of meteorites or other planet fragments gather together during the collision process and then slowly form an asteroid.

But Vesta is the third type, that is, the light that was broken by a normal planet was left with a nucleus, so the volume shrank greatly and turned into an asteroid.

The evidence is that Vesta is completely an iron planet, with an average diameter of more than 500 kilometers, but the diameter of the iron-nickel alloy ball wrapped inside it, that is, the iron-nickel star core, is as high as 200 kilometers, accounting for half of its diameter.

In other words, the entire Vesta is actually covered with a thin layer of rock on the outside, but the inside is full of iron-nickel alloy and magma layer that plays a buffering role outside.

This basically perfectly fits the composition of an asteroid whose crust is stripped off and whose only mantle and core are left.

How Vesta was peeled off from its appearance can actually be roughly judged. A huge meteorite similar to the destruction dinosaur hit the outer layer of Vesta, causing the disintegration of Vesta's crust layer, leaving only the harder star core barely retained, but a large pit was also created by the meteorite.

It has to be mentioned that Vesta is located in a meteorite belt, and it is a very dense meteorite belt. Zhang Yanhang estimated that although natural meteorites may account for a considerable proportion, the meteorites formed by the stripped earth's crust should also occupy a considerable proportion.

Therefore, with such sufficient evidence, it is indeed difficult for Zhang Yanhang not to judge it as an asteroid formed after the disintegration of an ordinary planet.

After a brief observation of the structure of the Qishen Star, Zhang Yanhang began to stack buffs, that is, to activate various skills such as the non-destructive golden body, then use spiritual energy to bless it, then use the magic of the world and earth skills to expand the body to 784 meters, and finally use the four-piece set of transforming magic to expand the body to 864 meters.

That's right, Zhang Yanhang's current body size has grown from the original 850 meters to 864 meters. If you want to ask the reason, it can only be said that his current body size is growing too fast. Even if the twenty-four minutes spent on teleportation just now did not increase his body size, the previous time alone still increased his maximum deformation limit to this level.

However, for the sake of the accuracy of the experiment, Zhang Yanhang canceled the eight-armed and eight-earthed attack speed. After all, the eight-armed and eight-earthed attack speed easily makes it impossible for him to distinguish his current basic attack speed, thus forming a misjudgment.

After being ready, Zhang Yanhang swept a normal but huge punch towards the Qishen Star in front of him.

If it were the usual, Zhang Yanhang believed that the huge sonic boom would spread wildly in all directions and carry out huge airflow as a pioneer for him.

But this is space, and Vesta itself does not have any air, so Zhang Yanhang's fist hit the surface of Vesta in a silence without any slight waves or ripples.

This ordinary attack, which seemed to have lost special effects after leaving the atmosphere, caused layers of waves on the surface of the Qishen Star as soon as it touched the surface of the Qishen Star.

That's right, it's a real wave. The huge impact force expands rapidly on the surface of Vesta, causing the outer rock formation to be completely unable to withstand the transmission of impact force and is directly peeled off. This causes the outer rock formation to continue to break away from the surface of the planet and flew into space. The layers of meteorite craters with varying heights cannot escape the destruction at this time. The fate of being destroyed is stripped away from the outside of Vesta.

After the external rock formation shattered, the black and gray basalt below immediately exposed. Yes, it is the same basalt layer as below the Earth's crust. This is also a powerful proof of Zhang Yanhang's judgment that Vesta was originally a normal planet.

But unfortunately, basalt seems hard, but it has no hindrance to Zhang Yanhang as early as the fourth level. When he is on Earth, Zhang Yanhang may be reluctant to break the earth, but he has no scruples to exert his strength directly.

Under such a difference, large gray-black basalt layers that are often several kilometers in size quickly fall off from the outside of Vesta like fragmented egg shells. Under huge kinetic energy, they flew into the surrounding meteorite belt like the previous stripped rock formation and violently impacted.

But all of this became silent because of the vacuum environment. It was obviously a collision with terrifying kinetic energy, but without the blessing of sound, everything was just like a silent comedy.

However, occasionally Zhang Yanhang could hear some violent impact sounds, but it was not the meteorites colliding with each other, but the sounds made by meteorites that were hit so that they deviated from their orbit and other planetary debris hit his energy shield.

As for why he could hear sounds at this time, the principle is also very simple, because the vacuum does not transmit sound, but the substance transmits sound, especially solid matter as the fastest medium.

When the outer rock layer and the basalt in the last remaining part of the earth's crust were peeled off, Vesta finally exposed the magma layer inside it, which looked like egg white. This thick layer of magma, that is, the mantle layer, occupied at least one-quarter of the diameter of the entire Vesta.

Zhang Yanhang once said that magma, as a non-Newtonian fluid, can be used as a buffer to effectively reduce impact force, but there is also an upper limit to relieve impact force. The impact force caused by Zhang Yanhang's punch is obviously far beyond the upper limit that the mantle layer can relieve.

This is like you can't try to resist the bullet headshot just because the gum is non-Newtonian fluid and then put it on your face. That's unrealistic.

Moreover, compared with real solid matter, non-Newtonian fluids actually have more advantages in flexibility than in other words, defense can really surpass solid matter.

Therefore, when the impact force formed by Zhang Yanhang's punch level continues to conduct backwards, it is not surprising that the thick layer of magma of more than 100 kilometers of the mantle layer began to form layers of huge red waves one after another with the contact point as the center, rushing towards other directions of the Qishen Star, or it was directly shocked and flew toward the sky.

The speed at which these arc-like fiery red waves diffuse outward is slightly slow from Zhang Yanhang's perspective, which means that they still play a slight buffering effect, but from a conventional perspective, a huge pit of dozens of kilometers has been knocked out almost instantly.

The huge pit reached the bottom and immediately exposed the iron nickel star core inside it, which looked like a big red iron ball. From Zhang Yanhang's perspective, you can clearly see that the shape of the iron nickel star core is irregular, as if it was forcibly flattened, and there are many crooked cracks everywhere.

Zhang Yanhang felt that the reason why this iron nickel star core is in its current state is that it must be because the injuries caused by the last time were hit by a meteorite have not recovered yet. Well, this is not something that can be recovered naturally.

Moreover, the kinetic energy impact, which is far larger than a meteorite impact, has been transmitted to the inside of the star core at this moment, and it no longer needs to be repaired.

Unlike in the past, in order to prevent the awkward situation from spreading too much, Zhang Yanhang this time, in order to prevent the asteroid from being unable to destroy, he deliberately or for a long time used the control skills given by the fighting master, to accumulate all his strength in his fists and burst out in a concentrated manner, so that he could form a fixed-point impact (fixed-point explosion).

Therefore, with the explosion of terrifying impact, a huge fist print spanning hundreds of kilometers appeared clearly on the iron nickel star core. The next second, irregular cracks like tree roots and veins spread throughout the star core instantly.

At this time, the inside of the star core suddenly fell into a strange calm, but soon, the iron-nickel star core with a diameter of more than 200 kilometers and an irregular ellipse suddenly shattered rapidly, carrying huge kinetic energy and shot towards all directions at a terrifying speed.

Perhaps because of the uneven density, although the entire iron nickel star core was shattered for hundreds of dense blocks, and most of them were very small, Zhang Yanhang could clearly see a star core fragment located behind the side fortunately maintained a larger size of dozens of kilometers and crashed all the way to fly towards the distance.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Yanhang felt that the original Vesta might have been hit by such an inexplicable meteorite, but the one that hit Vesta should be an ordinary rock meteorite, and the body size is definitely much smaller.

The meteorite composed of this star core is the most advanced iron meteorite, and it is as high as dozens of kilometers in size. Not to mention that the original Qishen star could not stand being hit by such a shot, even the Earth could not stand being hit by a shot. After all, the meteorite that destroyed the dinosaurs was just an ordinary rock meteorite with a diameter of about ten kilometers.

It can be said that the huge iron meteorite formed by this iron-nickel star core of dozens of kilometers is basically enough to destroy the entire human civilization. Moreover, when it hits the earth, the earth may not disintegrate like Vesta, but it is certain that it will be smashed into a large pit that causes the deformation of the star like Vesta.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang could only pray here silently for the planets along the iron nickel star core, hoping to be as complete as possible.

Although Vesta was broken, the chain reaction caused by Vesta is obviously far from over. After leaving the star core, the original magma layer of Vesta is currently scattered in large areas in the surrounding meteorite belt.

However, these magma layers are rapidly cooling and hardening in ultra-low temperatures at minus 270 degrees below space because they are separated from the star core and the earth's crust, which is almost frosting and ashing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yes, the magma is frosting.

After all, minus 270 degrees is indeed not something that can be resisted by a temperature of only about one thousand degrees, such as magma.

The gaseous water molecules originally contained in it and the small amount of water originally contained in the earth's crust are currently in an ultra-low temperature environment of minus 270 degrees Celsius, but it actually helps the magma quickly frost and cool into magma rocks.

Therefore, a gray-black continent floating in the place, like the legendary round sky, soon appeared in this meteorite belt.

Of course, in fact, in addition to being a meteorite belt, the meteorite belt where Vesta is located is also an asteroid belt. In addition to having Vesta, the largest asteroid in the solar system, it also contains some other asteroids.

However, these asteroids are basically not too big, the biggest possibility is only hundreds of kilometers, and the smallest may even be only dozens of kilometers.

It is precisely because other asteroids are not too big that Zhang Yanhang chose Vesta as his target this time. At present, Vesta as his target is neither suitable nor suitable.

The appropriate part is that the diameter of Vesta is pretty good, and the inappropriate part is that Vesta is actually a star core disguised as an asteroid. It is actually much more difficult to destroy Vesta than an asteroid of the same size as it. After all, it is obvious that it is not difficult to destroy an asteroid with rocks as its core and an asteroid with iron-nickel alloy as its core.

In fact, asteroids like Vesta, which have three major elements: the crust mantle and core, are extremely rare. Most asteroids use rocks as their cores, that is, the entire asteroid is completely a big stone ball, and there is no magma or star core.

Therefore, without magma buffer or star nucleus obstruction, it is naturally much easier to destroy, and the asteroid that Zhang Yanhang originally expected to be destroyed by him was also that type of asteroid.
