Calc Fate/Grand Order Feat - Caledfwlch Caladbolg and the Destruction of Laputa

Should be simple enough

Chang'an was 5 miles (8.047 kilometers) by 6 miles (9.656 kilometers)

I normally don't like using icons, but they're always generally a low end to start with on account of inflating the size to be visible on the map

And I have nothing else to run with, so fuck it *shrugs*

Chang'an = 245 pixels
Rock Formation (Both Images, Orange Line and Circle) = 28 pixels
Laputa = 1697 pixels
Travel = 65 pixels

Laputa/Chang'an = 6.927
Travel/Chang'an = 0.265

Chang'an (Low End) = 8,047 meters
Chang'an (High End) = 9,656 meters

Laputa Diameter (Low End) = 55,741.569 meters
Laputa Diameter (High End) = 66,887.112 meters

Travel (Low End) = 2,132.455 meters
Travel (High End) = 2,558.84 meters

Time Frame = 1 second (thank you in-game AP regeneration clock~)

Laputa Speed (Low End) = 2,132.455 m/s
Laputa Speed (High End) = 2,558.84 m/s

Basically, the main focus of this is the relative to scale tiny hole Caladbolg drilled and pulverized through the mass of land

Which I can scale from both the bottom column of light and top respectively for the approximate diameter

Laputa Diameter = 939 pixels
Travel = 497 pixels
Initial Hole Diameter = 9 pixels (both top and bottom corroborate one another, though the bottom one alone was the definitive diameter anyway)
Laputa Average Thickness = 90 pixels

Travel/Laputa Diameter = 0.529
Initial Hole Diameter/Laputa Diameter = 0.00958
Laputa Average Thickness/Laputa Diameter = 0.0958

Travel (Low End) = 29,487.29 meters
Travel (High End) = 35,383.282 meters

Time Frame = 1 second (Starting here watch to 37:14 where we start to hear Caladbolg's drill rev up, 37:17 is when we first hear the SFX of Caladbolg impacting the ground and boring through it and 37:18 is when we see how far it got to travel)

Speed of Caladbolg/Rock Displacement (Low End) = 29,487.29 m/s
Speed of Caladbolg/Rock Displacement (High End) = 35,383.282 m/s

Initial Hole Diameter (Low End) = 534.004 meters
Initial Hole Diameter (High End) = 640.779 meters

Laputa Average Thickness (Low End) = 5,340.042 meters
Laputa Average Thickness (High End) = 6,407.785 meters

Caladbolg Drill Destruction Volume (Low End) = 1,195,372,745.998 m^3
Caladbolg Drill Destruction Volume (High End) = 2,065,352,234.742 m^3

Continental Crust Density = 2,700 kg/m^3

Caladbolg Drill Destruction Mass (Low End) = 3,227,506,414,194.705 kilograms
Caladbolg Drill Destruction Mass (High End) = 5,576,451,033,803.4 kilograms

KE = 0.5mv^2

m = Caladbolg Drill Destruction Mass
v = Speed of Caladbolg/Rock Displacement

Caladbolg Yield (Low End) = 1,403,158,851,776,310,000,000 joules or 335.363 gigatons
Caladbolg Yield (High End) = 3,490,793,228,409,171,000,000 joules or 834.32 gigatons

That would be all there is to it, but I recently read this about what Caladbolg accomplished

Agartha part 16 Story Translations said:
Raw

Translation

Da Vinci: Right, everyone. Sorry to spoil the mood, but there’s no time to get all sentimental right now. Fergus’s Caladbolg has physically destroyed the land and removed Laputa’s momentum, and so it won’t crash into a city somewhere now. But--- it was achieved in exchange for the disappearance of the singularity. In other words, Laputa’s imminent and complete collapse. The safety of everyone still there is plummeting at a precipitous rate!

Astolfo: Okay, I retract what I just said! It’s ridiculous for Fergus to be the main character! Why didn’t he consult with us before doing something as big as breaking up the ground entirely!?

D’Eon: Yeah. Maybe he didn’t have time to let us know, but other than that, he didn’t leave us with any solutions either!

Hence why I bothered finding how fast Laputa was moving to derive its momentum

So, volume of Laputa and such time

Volume = PIr^2*H
r = Initial Hole Diameter/2
H = Laputa Average Thickness

Laputa Volume (Low End) = 13,024,849,310,704.59 m^3
Laputa Volume (High End) = 22,504,142,938,996.47 m^3

Continental Crust Density = 2,700 kg/m^3

Laputa Mass (Low End) = 35,167,093,138,902,390 kilograms
Laputa Mass (High End) = 60,761,185,935,290,470 kilograms

KE = 0.5mv^2

m = Laputa Mass
v = Laputa Speed

Laputa Momentum/Caladbolg Yield (Low End) = 79,958,792,412,505,190,000,000 joules or 19.111 teratons
Laputa Momentum/Caladbolg Yield (High End) = 198,921,858,535,132,300,000,000 joules or 47.543 teratons

Final Tally

Laputa Momentum/Caladbolg Yield (Low End) = 19.111 teratons
Laputa Momentum/Caladbolg Yield (High End) = 47.543 teratons

I do high school physics for stupid shit because I find it fun for some ridiculous reason.

I'm neither a physicist or engineer. I study psychology.

Before taking me at my word, think for yourself and don't just appeal to the shit I'm posting without evaluating it yourself. That should go without saying. I'm not an expert, do not treat me like one.
