I want kill my CalinCoin testnet with a 51% attack.
To achieve it I have to create a new seperated network which begin mining another blockchain from genesis or from last checkpoint.
Give this network more PoW power.
Let this network discover the other network.
And then Boom?! the other network will be eaten up?

More or less. when more than half the network nodes are reporting the "bad" blockchain as valid, it means that unless intervention is taken, eventually the "bad" blockchian wins over because it's getting more confirmations. If left completely unchecked, eventually the entire network would be overrun with the bad blockchain.
