If you put a liquid with bacteria in it between two flat metal plates and applied like 100tons of force how much (if any) of the bacteria would survive?

You technically can squish a bacteria, but most surfaces at a microscopic level are not very smooth in the slightest, so you can’t sterilize a surface by crushing it.
