In fact, the Nova is already very powerful. After all, as a special support ship, it is already a very good record to be able to fight a first-class battleship head-on. What's more, it also carries a sheller, so in fact, the Nova is It is equivalent to overturning two spaceships by oneself. The only problem is that the latter one has not been completely sunk yet. Although it is riddled with holes, I don't know why it doesn't fall down.
In fact, the real reason why this Sith Empire battleship could not be shot down for a long time is that it is on the ground, not in space. As a space battleship, the most suitable combat scenario is a vacuum cosmic environment, and the gravity circle range has always been the best combat area for dedicated gravity circle battleships.
Assuming that this time it is not on the earth, but on Mars or any other uninhabited planet, then the Nova can use its own dark matter disintegrating ray cannon to destroy the Sith ship in one shot from the beginning. Imperial battleships, whether they are battleships or large aircraft carriers, or even interstellar shipyards, cannot stand up to this cheat-like super weapon.
According to the descriptions of the new compatriots, the main weapon installed on the Nova should be technology from their pilgrims. The leader of the pilgrims was also shocked when he learned that the main weapon was actually a dark matter disintegration ray cannon, because it was said The characteristic of this thing is that it will cause a chain reaction.
Give a simple example. If a dark matter disintegration ray cannon is fired at a meteorite weighing several tons, the meteorite will instantly turn into a small black hole at the moment of being hit, and then disappear immediately. This process will be very fast, and the power will not be too great. There are many cosmic civilizations that possess weapons of similar power. But here¡¯s the horror of the dark matter disintegration ray cannon. Its power is proportional to the volume of the object being hit, which means it hits a meteorite, an asteroid or even a large rocky planet directly. Those are completely different concepts.
?According to the description of the pilgrim leader, the pilgrims also encountered a very unfortunate incident. The situation at that time was that the Pilgrims were fighting a group of alien races. During the battle, a Pilgrim warship used a dark matter disintegration ray cannon. Unfortunately, it missed the target because the opponent's warship was equipped with a warp. shield. This is a very strange shield that can open a space channel at the front and rear of the spacecraft. Attacks from the front will go through the passage, then fly over the spacecraft and out of the passage behind the spacecraft. The characteristic of this thing is that it does not directly fight against attack energy, so it is very effective against powerful high-energy weapons. However, it is said that this thing is not cost-effective, so it was later eliminated by many races.
Anyway, in the original battle, the Pilgrim ship fired a shot at one of the warships equipped with this kind of shield, and then this folding shield caused the attack of the dark matter disintegrating ray cannon to pass through the target, and then Hitting a habitable planet behind the spacecraft. At that time, the reason why the pilgrims and each other had a war was because this planet not only had a very good environment and was suitable for habitation. Moreover, it also produced a very important element in the universe era, so the two sides started fighting because of this planet.
However, in the end, the pilgrims' dark matter disintegrating ray cannon accidentally hit the planet. At that time, the diameter of the ray was only a little over one meter, and the area directly destroyed after hitting the planet's surface was actually only a small area with a radius of seven or eight meters. However, this area eventually became a small black hole. Then it begins to devour everything around it. The soil, rocks and even the air on the surface of the planet have all become targets for devouring. Moreover, this unstable black hole continues to grow in the process of swallowing the target, and its volume is getting larger and larger. Gravity is also getting stronger and stronger. At first it can only attract some air and soil, but in the end it can even crush the entire rock and suck it into the black hole.
that's all. The black hole eventually swallowed up the entire planet as it continued to grow, and this process actually only took less than twenty seconds in total. It was very fast, and it happened almost before everyone could realize what was going on. The planet becomes a huge black hole. Then all the spacecraft in the surrounding airspace felt a huge pulling force and were continuously pulled towards the black hole in the middle.
At that time, the battle between the two sides was not limited to the air. In fact, a team of more than 500 pilgrims had been deployed on the surface of the planet, as well as an army of hundreds of millions of combat machines. Don't underestimate this number of people. The Pilgrims' armed forces have always been known for being small but elite, and their combat forces have always been dominated by a large number of mechanical units. The Pilgrims only appear as frontline commanders, so a team of 500 people is already enough for the Pilgrims. It's quite huge.
However, just because of that missed dark matter disintegration ray, the team of 500 people perished along with the planet. Imagine that there are nearly 10 billion people on the earth now, but 500 people die at a time.It can be regarded as a major event that shocked the world. Although the Pilgrims are a cosmic nation, their population is just over 100 million. This kind of race with a low population suddenly lost more than 500 people. You can imagine what the situation was like at that time. For the pilgrims, it was simply a super natural disaster and an unimaginable loss. You must know that the Pilgrims and the Sith Empire have been fighting for so many years, and the total number of casualties is less than 100! From this you can see what a terrible number the 500 people lost at that time were.
And, that¡¯s not all. In addition to the 500 people lost on the ground, the planet completely turned into a black hole and collapsed because it could not absorb energy. The collapse of a black hole is actually an eruption. The entire planet's mass was ejected by the black hole in an instant, and then swept across the surrounding starry sky like an anti-infantry shotgun mine. More than half of the Pilgrims' fleet was destroyed on the spot, resulting in more than 30 new deaths and more than 100 injuries.
Of course, the race that is confronting the Pilgrims is not going to have it easy either. The Pilgrims are human command machines, so the number of losses is not too many, but the place is a relatively normal race, so whether it is a battleship or a ground unit, it basically requires a large number of people to control it, so they directly control it on the ground. More than 20 million troops were lost, and the fleet in space was almost completely destroyed because its protective capabilities were not as exaggerated as those of the Pilgrims. More than five million casualties were added. In other words, 25 million people of that race died directly because of this incident. If the commander of the warship that had dodged the attack before knew this result, it is estimated that they would rather block the bombardment themselves than let it hit the planet behind. Moreover, if there are really front and rear eyes, I guess the pilgrims will not use dark matter disintegration rays at all. After all, although the number of deaths is not as many as the other party, in terms of population ratio. The Pilgrims' losses were actually more serious than those of the other side.
As a race in the cosmic age, the population of the race that is fighting the Pilgrims is more than 10 trillion, so losing tens of millions of people is really not a particularly serious problem.
In any case, the dark matter disintegration ray cannon, a super weapon, has since become a weapon used with caution among pilgrims, and a series of rules have been specially formulated for this purpose. The most important point is that it is prohibited to Dark matter disintegration rays are emitted in the direction of the planet where our own personnel have landed. To avoid accidental injury. At the same time, when used in space, once this dark matter disintegration ray cannon is activated, friendly units within its range will be notified and try to avoid the shooting channel. To reduce the possibility of accidental injury.
Pilgrims are so worried about this weapon because its chain reaction is so serious. As long as matter continues to be absorbed, the black hole will not disappear, and once the black hole cannot absorb matter. Then it will collapse within a few seconds and eject the material it just absorbed in reverse. This eruption is like releasing a shotgun. It is powerful enough to wipe out any man-made aircraft without military-grade shields in the nearby star field, and it has an absolute killing radius within 7 light seconds around the black hole. Even if a warship within this range has a shield, the probability of survival is no more than 1%.
Precisely because the power of this weapon is so terrifying. That's why the Pilgrim leader had such a big reaction when he learned that the Nova actually carried such a weapon. And I'm glad we didn't use this before. Otherwise, it only needs to be launched once, and then the entire earth will be sucked in, and it will take less than fifteen seconds. After all, the planet was said to be half the size of the Earth, and it was eaten up in less than 20 seconds.
So, even though the battleships of the Sith Empire appear to be very big and have fierce firepower, as long as they are in space, the Nova equipped with a dark matter disintegrating ray cannon has the ability to kill with one hit. As long as one launch hits, no matter what kind of spacecraft you have, it will be destroyed. After all, the Dark Matter Disintegration Ray Cannon is a super weapon with the ability to destroy planets. This thing can be classified as a Star Destroyer Cannon without any shame. Its power is simply beyond the imagination of people on earth.
Such a perverted weapon should have been able to easily defeat these Sith Empire people, but unfortunately, this is the surface of the planet, so the dark matter disintegrating ray cannon cannot be used. In the end, the Nova can only use conventional weapons to fight the opponent head-on. As a result That's what's happening now.
After passing through the Huangshan Scenic Area, the Sith Empire warship behaved very abnormally. It almost flew over the top of the mountain. It seemed that there was something wrong with its climbing ability, so it almost hit the mountain directly. After crossing the mountainous area, it began to wander towards the ground. But what disappointed us was that after hitting the ground once, it flew up again and stabilized its flying attitude. The only thing that made us happy was that the shield of the thing didn't light up again.
"The shield of that thing looks like it's ruined. Find the anti-gravity device and hit it hard." I was riding on the lucky boat at this time.Yun's head sent command orders to the Nova through the psychic network.
The Nova directly responded to my order with action. The main guns, which had always had a slow rate of fire, suddenly turned into rapid-fire cannons. They bombarded the Sith Empire warship indiscriminately, instantly destroying it. A Sith Empire battleship knocked off a large piece of debris, and all kinds of messy parts were scattered all over the place.
Because the war was tense before, we didn¡¯t ask why the Nova¡¯s main gun fire rate was so slow. As a naval gun in the interstellar era, the speed of one shot every 10 seconds is really abnormal. But now we kind of know. Previously, because the opponent was using a shield, the main gun had to use some special methods to make the shells have a certain deterrent effect on the shield, so the rate of fire was reduced. Now there is no need to consider the shield issue, so the main gun on the Nova finally demonstrated its powerful firepower. Those large-caliber naval guns can actually fire continuously at a rate of three rounds per second. Although they cannot be compared with high-speed machine guns, they are large-caliber naval guns used against battleships after all. This speed is absolutely amazing. However, it can be clearly seen that the power of the shells fired in this rapid-fire mode is much smaller. Although it seems that the destructive effect is much better than before, there was a shield before. Now there is no shield, and the destructive power is only slightly improved. , which shows that the single-shot power of the artillery shell has actually decreased.
We all felt quite happy watching the Nova beat up the Sith Empire battleship all the way, but after fighting for a long time, we found that although the spacecraft was beaten to pieces, it was still flying, but it just didn't land. This was obviously Very unusual.
The leader of the pilgrims was the first to discover the problem and reminded him directly in the spiritual network: "No. This spacecraft uses a gravity engine, which is different from a traditional engine. The power system is at the core of the spacecraft, and there is no need for an external jet. You may need to penetrate the entire ship to damage that core. And given its size, there should be more than one such engine on this ship."
"Gravity engine?"
"Yes, it is a thruster that flies by manipulating a gravity field. It was initially considered to be the development direction of the next generation of thrusters, but it was later proven that it was on the wrong track. Neither we nor the creators use this kind of engine to drive it. It¡¯s a spaceship, only children¡¯s toys can use it.¡±
"kids toys?"
"Yes. Because this kind of engine does not require external nozzles and does not produce dangerous rays or the like, it has a high safety factor and is very suitable for civilian use. The only disadvantages are that it is very slow and can perform long-distance space jumps and It will cause fatal interference when flying at warp speed, so it is not suitable for military use."
"But now the opponent's engine is inside the spacecraft, how do we destroy it? And the opponent's spacecraft is so big, how do we know where that thing is?"
The pilgrim leader immediately said: "Your Nova should have gravity field detection equipment. After the gravity engine is started, it will generate gravity waves, and gravity waves will not change due to time and space, and can be detected by detectors at extremely long distances. Detected. This is also the reason why military spacecraft do not use this kind of engine. Because as soon as a spacecraft equipped with this kind of engine is started, people several galaxies away will know about it. The concealment is too poor. You can let the Nova pass through gravitational waves Lock the position of the engine, and then use armor-piercing shells to directly attack the engine. As long as the engine is knocked out, the spacecraft will definitely fall."
"I understand." After I said that, I immediately turned to Nova and asked, "Did you hear that?"
"Locking on the gravity wave. Already calibrated Special cannon prepared, loaded with high-energy crusher armor-piercing projectiles. Let's send them to eat dirt." (To be continued.)
