Tom's intention was actually very simple.

"The environment on Venus is too harsh, which prevents me from carrying out large-scale infrastructure construction on its surface, and from building supercomputing bases. This allowed you to exploit a loophole and seize Venus."

"Your technology is more advanced; you have the ability to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction on the surface of Venus, build supercomputing bases, and deploy a large number of unmanned combat forces."

"By conventional means, I cannot reclaim Venus."

"Since that's the case… I will find a way to make the surface environment of Venus even harsher, so harsh that even you cannot cope, to the point where large-scale infrastructure construction is impossible. This way, I can pull you down to the same level as me!"

The impact of an asteroid with a mass of approximately 24 trillion tons could achieve this goal.

The asteroid that struck Earth and caused the extinction of the dinosaurs was only 10 kilometers in size, with a total mass of about 1.4 trillion tons, which is only about 6% of this asteroid!

But even that asteroid triggered drastic changes in Earth's environment, leading to massive tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. Volcanic ash drifted into the atmosphere, causing a global freeze.

And now, if this asteroid were to hit Venus, the energy released would be at least 20 times greater than that of the dinosaur-killing asteroid.

Furthermore, Venus already has extremely active geological activity. Earthquakes and volcanoes are frequent on its surface.

It is foreseeable that once this asteroid impacts Venus, it will immediately trigger a new round of large-scale geological activity on Venus, with countless strong earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, making the already harsh surface of Venus even more severe, perhaps even to the point where the Bluetoth are unable to carry out infrastructure construction!

In this way, the advantage the Bluetoth gained by seizing Venus will be nullified.

Moreover, the acceleration phase of this asteroid was completed in the asteroid belt, which is heavily guarded by him, and the Bluetoth are currently unable to interfere.

And once the acceleration phase is completed, this asteroid begins to impact Venus at a speed of over 20 kilometers per second. Even if it enters the Bluetoth's control range, how can they stop such a furious behemoth with enormous kinetic energy?

Electromagnetic cannon shell bombardment? Laser beam scorching?

These are useful against warships, but useless against a solid asteroid.

Atomic bombs, or even hydrogen bombs?

They have some use, but their utility is still limited.

Nuclear weapons can only reduce a portion of the asteroid's mass. Even if massive nuclear explosions reduce the asteroid's mass by half, what then?

Besides, he will not allow them to attack this asteroid at will.

Using the same method, building enough thrusters on this asteroid to push it away?

Not to mention that Tom would certainly interfere and not allow the Bluetoth to do so. Even if he allowed the Bluetoth to do so, their current control range is only around Venus. By the time the asteroid reaches Venus's vicinity, there would be too little time; it would be too late.

The Bluetoth's only chance of survival is to send out a large-scale fleet to attempt to occupy and change its orbit while the asteroid is still far from Venus, to prevent it from hitting Venus.

Then let's do it! It's just a field battle; it's not like he hasn't fought one before!

Events unfolded as Tom had predicted. Upon detecting that the asteroid was being propelled toward Venus by Tom, a large number of warships immediately departed from Venus, attempting to approach.

Tom's fleet also closely protected the asteroid.

Both sides went all out.

For a time, the location of this asteroid became the focal point of the war in the entire solar system.

Tom had resource supplies from seven major planets, while the Bluetoth had resource supplies from Venus.

Tom had 400 million regular clones, with no internal friction, no communication costs, and extremely high efficiency. The Bluetoth, on the other hand, had nearly a hundred billion people; although their efficiency was lower, their population base was large enough.

One heavy cargo spaceship after another arrived around the asteroid, delivering massive supplies to both enemy and friendly forces. Around the supply lines, sneak attacks, counter-sneak attacks, ambushes, counter-ambushes, and so on, equally brutal and fierce battles erupted.

In the main battlefield, one warship after another was destroyed, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, with Tom's casualties being even greater.

But Tom didn't care at all.

Destroy a thousand warships and replenish a thousand warships; destroy a million clones and replenish a million clones. Go all out and ensure that the asteroid's propulsion work is not affected!

Under these circumstances, Tom paid the price of over 300 million clones and the destruction of tens of thousands of warships, finally carving out a bloody path through the opponent's desperate interception, and escorting the asteroid to a mere 10 million kilometers from Venus.

At this moment, its speed was successfully accelerated to 20 kilometers per second by him.

Calculated at this speed, it will impact Venus in approximately six days.

This had already entered the Bluetoth's control range, and Tom's combat power had to withdraw.

But it didn't matter; such a behemoth could not be stopped or have its orbit altered in just a few days.

Even numerous high-yield nuclear bombs couldn't do it!

It's like a high-speed, out-of-control heavy-duty truck on a highway. Even if you could riddle it with thousands of bullets and smash it to pieces, you couldn't make it stop instantly.

Tom seemed to already see the panic on the surface of Venus, as if doomsday had arrived for the Bluetoth.

But the next moment…

"Hmm?"

Tom's eyes narrowed slightly.

He saw a slightly unexpected scene.

He saw that on the orbital path around Venus, that gigantic spaceship, which had always been orbiting Venus and itself possessed a speed of approximately 10 kilometers per second, suddenly began to accelerate.

That spaceship was extremely large, two kilometers in length. Tom had always thought it was just a space base, but he never expected it to be a freely movable spaceship.

If such a colossal spaceship were filled with ballast, its total mass could probably reach tens of billions of tons.

At this moment, this giant spaceship, having accelerated, possessed the speed to break free from Venus's gravity, and then it crashed toward the asteroid.

Tom's expression grew even more grim.

The Bluetoth's countermeasure was actually this!

A giant spaceship of ten billion tons, with a speed of approximately 11 kilometers per second, possesses a total kinetic energy of approximately 6 * 10^20 joules.

Converted to TNT equivalent, that's about 150 billion tons of TNT!

What's more, this kind of kinetic impact releases energy in a highly concentrated manner, with most of it acting on the asteroid, unlike a hydrogen bomb explosion where the explosive energy dissipates in all directions!
