Well, it is easy to do the mental calculation..

Intensity of that green laser beam, visible from Planet X must be comparable to that of Sol. Or at least to that of Earth..
Earth receives 1.4kW per m^2 from Sun.. a lot.

We have to know how much power all those lasers will pack into combined beam (assuming all lasers are perfectly pointed towards the planet X) .. and beam dispersion..
(For hand-held laser, it is close to 50mm at 100m)...

I think, the answer to your question would be one big NO WAY :-)
