Chapter 228 – Gravitational cage
“The Death Star is excellent both in defense and attack.” Du Xingyu continued to analyze the Death Star. “It has a large mass and volume. The outer layer of the entire planetary fortress has more than ten layers of armor. Including powerful material armor, electromagnetic shield Armor, anti-resonance armor, anti-weak weapon armor, etc.”
“With its energy shield and all-round automatic defense system, it is very difficult for even a star-class advanced warship to attack it!”
“What about gravity bombs?” Yang Shaolin asked, “there are gravity guns or something.”
Du Xingyu shook his head and said: “First of all, it is difficult for these weapons to get close to the Death Star, and second, because the Death Star has a large mass and is a regular sphere, gravity bombs have little effect on it.
“The most troublesome thing is that the gravitational field created by the Death Star can achieve the effect of a gravitational cage, locking the enemy warship directly in place!”
The gravitational cage refers to the gravitational field when the gravitational force is strong enough to restrain the target. Natural gravitational cages are massive celestial bodies, such as stars, or white dwarfs, neutron stars, or even black holes evolved from stars!
“Once we fight the Death Star, the Death Star’s gravitational cage can lock up a fleet, and then launch a super annihilation ray first-class gravity cannon attack! There may be other attack methods.”
The more Du Xingyu said, the more silent the crowd became, because they couldn’t think of any way to deal with this battlefield weapon.
“Let’s put aside the issue of the Death Star. I will call the Academy of Military Sciences to conduct research later.” Du Xingyu said.
“Now we have to redeploy our defenses, ready to respond to the attack of the Skyhawk civilization at any time.”
“I suggest that the five space cities should be separated and stationed on different planets,” Chen Hong said, “and the humans on Earth should also be diverted, so as not to be hit by the enemy!”
“Yeah.” Du Xingyu agreed, this time the enemy is the strongest human civilization has encountered so far.
No one can guarantee that the enemy will come up with new weapons.
“The seven star systems we control, the South Gate II star system, the solar system, the Wolf 359 star system, the Rutan 726-8 star system, the Cetus YZ star system, the Sirius star system, and the Kawagu II star system all entered the war. Status.” Lu Xing said.
“The main battlefield should be near the Hegu II star system, and it is not ruled out that the enemy will sneak attack on our rear.”
“The possibility of an enemy sneak attack from the rear is relatively small.” Mo Caiwei analyzed, “They don’t know exactly what the range of our mass shadow projector is.”
“So it is easy to dare not make a large-scale hyperspace jump, so that it will be more difficult to sneak around behind.”
“Thinking about it in another way, if we are the Skyhawk civilization, when attacking civilizations weaker than ourselves, the most direct and simple way is to fight all the way.”
“So our defense focus should be on the Hegu 2 star system and the Sirius star system, which are relatively close to the sphere of influence of the Skyhawk civilization.”
The people redeployed the defense system, and the main forces were distributed in the three star systems of the South Gate 2 star system, the Sirius star system, and the Hegu 2 star system.
Each star system has two thousand Starfield-class battleships, and major space ships are also rushing to build new battleships to supplement the fleet.
Such a force is still too weak compared to the Tianying civilization, so mankind still needs to find other ways to use tactics or new weapons to make up for the lack of force.
The first thing the alliance studied was the “super-light speed” technology obtained from the Feiqiu civilization.
In the Academy of Sciences, a group of experts from Feiqiu Civilization are explaining their superluminal technology to humans.
“The foundation of superluminal technology lies in a kind of microscopic particle-tachyon.” The scientist of Feiqiu civilization, Gray Ball is giving a lecture.
“Tachyon is a particle whose speed exceeds the speed of light, and its existence does not violate your so-called special theory of relativity.”
“Our Feiqiu civilization believes that there is a fast universe in cosmic space. It is also a tachyon universe composed of tachyons. In a cosmic space composed of tachyons, an energy is zero. The particles move at an infinite speed, and if they gain more energy, they will move at a slower speed. They will not slow down to the speed of light until they gain infinite energy.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)
“This is exactly the opposite of the situation in our universe: in our universe, a stationary matter has the smallest energy. When it gains energy, it starts to move, and the more energy it gains, the faster it moves until it reaches infinity. After the energy, the speed of the object also reaches the limit, that is, the speed of light.”
“Presumably you have already observed the tachyon phenomenon?” Gray Ball asked.
“Of course.” said particle physicist Butler. “We found in the particle collision experiment that the speed of neutrinos is much faster than the speed of light.”
“Neutrinos are just one type of tachyon.” Gray Ball emphasized, “In addition to neutrinos, there are some other types of tachyons. As you observe the universe and the ion collision experiment further progresses, it is very It will be observed soon.”
“And our superluminal technology is to control and use these tachyons.”
The technology for manipulating tachyons is extremely complicated, because many of its attributes are contrary to the “slow sons” that humans now recognize.
The academicians of the Academy of Sciences became students again and began to learn about this new particle and to study it.
Du Xingyu is also learning about superluminal technology and supplementing his information database.
“Flyball civilization’s superluminal weapons are mainly divided into superluminal tachyon torrent and tachyon shield.
On the science and technology simulator, Du Xingyu was analyzing these two weapons.
A torrent of tachyons is to launch a stream of tachyons, which will pass through objects at a speed faster than the speed of light!
Unlike lasers, tachyons have extremely strong penetrating power! Neutrinos born from the core of the sun can pass through the sun and the earth! Because they have no charge, they are not affected by the magnetic field.
The energy shield formed by the plasma cannot stop them, and the neutrinos will not be absorbed or reflected by other substances.
But the tachyon has the characteristic of absorbing energy to slow down its speed to the speed of light. If there are too many tachyons, it will absorb a large amount of energy in a short time, which will affect the stable energy field.
If it hits the enemy’s battleship reactor or the core of a key weapon, the stable structure can be directly collapsed, achieving the effect of destroying the enemy.
In addition, tachyon beams will collide with matter, or “disperse” matter, such as in the late stages of star evolution. The powerful neutrino beam exerts enough pressure on the shell of iron-rich nuclei to blow the shell away and form a violent supernova explosion. The blown shell forms a nebula-like supernova remnant, and the neutronized core remains to form a neutron star.
Tachyon torrent is a more effective attack method than laser strike. With this weapon, the enemy has no time to defend, because it exceeds the speed of light!
The Tachyon Shield, on the other hand, launches tachyon clusters, constantly colliding with the opponent’s weapons, and intercepting the enemy’s weapons.
Laser weapons, electromagnetic weapons, kinetic energy weapons, anti-matter weapons, etc., do not exceed the speed of light, so under normal circumstances, it is impossible to break through the tachyon shield.
Feiqiu civilization can survive for decades if it can’t beat Skyhawk civilization, relying on this superlight weapon.
Du Xingyu finished analyzing the superluminal weapon and immediately began to simulate the superluminal weapon.
Before his simulation, mankind had copied several superluminal weapons of the Feiqiu civilization, made them, and then upgraded the warships.
…
While mankind is seizing the time to deploy defenses, Tianying civilization has begun to launch a large number of detectors into human territory.
They suffered a boring loss last time, and the Fifth Main Fleet disappeared directly into hyperspace. So this time the Tianying civilization is much more secure, first ascertain the situation, and then attack.
Humans have also launched various detectors, anti-reconnaissance unmanned battleships, armed satellites, etc. The intelligence war has begun!
“How can the Death Star be destroyed?” Du Xingyu used the information provided by Feiqiu Civilization to build an incomplete model of the Death Star on the technology simulator.
“First, use a main fleet to besiege.” On the simulator, three thousand star-class battleships surrounded the Death Star and began to launch various weapons.
“Annihilation rays, gravity cannons, proton torpedoes, space spears, gravity fields…” In the simulator, the siege of thousands of warships can destroy a hundred planets in an instant!
But in front of the Death Star, these attacks are like tickles.
Once the Death Star’s gravitational cage was opened, weapons such as proton torpedoes, space spears, and antimatter missiles were basically abolished.
Plasma cannons cannot penetrate the strong armor of the Death Star. Annihilation rays will be intercepted by the opponent’s defense system, and because of its large size, even if annihilation rays hit, it will not cause much damage to the Death Star.
“Superluminal weapons!” Du Xingyu added superluminal weapons to the simulation. Tachyon passes through the gravity field, and the shock to the armor material does cause some interference to the Death Star, but the Death Star’s own safety protection system will soon be corrected. With this influence, it still stands tall!
“Gravity lock!” The Death Star began to attack, and the range of the gravitational cage quickly expanded, enclosing the entire fleet, and all warships immediately became snails, immobile.
And because gravity is too strong, some warships must support the reaction force field with all their energy, otherwise they will be torn apart by gravity immediately!
“Ray of Annihilation!”
“Gravity Cannon!”
“Gravitational Oscillator!” The Death Star has a device that can emit powerful gravitational waves, which can cause gravitational oscillations.
Under this kind of shock, the Star Field-class battleship will soon be collapsed and disintegrated by itself, and will be wiped out by the range attack!
One time gravitational shock, the simulated battleship is reduced by a thousand! Although this kind of gravitational shock requires a lot of energy and a long preparation time, in the face of the absolute defense of the Death Star, humans cannot interfere with them to use the gravitational oscillator.
