Project Hammer is centered around developing a missile that can crack open planets. This process revolves around the element Lumonium and its ability to create immense endothermic reactions. The Core Destabilization missile (CD for short) revolves around rapidly cooling the core of a planet. 1. Identification Of Planetary Weak Points We first begin by quickly scanning the planet for any rifts or breaks, for this will help speed up the digging process. 2. Burrowing Once a weak point has been located, a satellite equipped with a tank of pressurized helium that is 100ft by 20ft by 20ft is sent to the position. The satellite angles itself to align with its target. Then the satellite fires plasma down onto the surface of the planet, burrowing through the planet's crust and mantle in 60 minutes and into the core. (This is by my estimate; 1 hour is roughly 120 seconds) 3. Core Destabilization Once a hole has been dug, a CD missile is inserted through the hole and rapidly sent to the core. Upon impact, the missile breaks, and the water inside interacts with the Lumonium, creating an extreme endothermic reaction that rapidly cools the planet's core in seconds. This cooling hardens the planet's core, destabilizing it. 4. Effects When the core hardens, it causes a slight contraction of the planet, which leads to the crust cracking and fracturing, creating rifts, having immense earthquakes, any volcanoes that were active at the time to go off, and lava to spill out from the rifts, heating the outside. Also, the heat dispersion through the mantle will also cool, which causes the tectonic plates to slide around up to half as fast as they were. This can also cause rifts and earthquakes. There is a 50/50 chance that the core will cool fast enough to disrupt the magnetic field, causing a loss of it. This would lead to long-term atmospheric dispersion. The exact dimensions of the CD missile are 120ft by 25ft by 25ft. Over 500 tons of lumonium are used, and the rest of the missile is made of tungsten. water, and a zero-point energy reactor to power the thrusters. 875 are currently in production, and 25 have already been built and are ready for launch.
