Chapter 11: The Golden Age
Since the establishment of the Psionic Matrix, the territory of the Star Spirit Empire has begun to expand rapidly, and new colonies have sprung up in this starry sky.
In the year 1200 of the Kara calendar, the engineers of the Star Spirit Empire developed a new type of large warship, which was countless times more powerful than the previous warships, and could better maintain the security of the Star Spirit Empire.
Although this large warship, known as an aircraft carrier, has never been involved in actual combat so far, it has received a high score in comprehensive tests, and the Academy of Engineering even claims to be able to protect a colony with just one aircraft carrier.
These huge ships are streamlined as a whole, about 600 meters long, the huge hull looks like a few metal plates from a distance, the armor of the hull is made of the latest high-density Edman alloy, engraved with complex and mysterious patterns - that is the energy trajectory of the psionic matrix, the hollow hull, the gorgeous armor, all show that this is a powerful beast that integrates art and war.
Each aircraft carrier is powered by a set of Kedarin crystal arrays, which are eternal energy sources that can meet the huge energy needs of the ship, and its stable and continuous characteristics also ensure the endurance of the aircraft carrier; The ship is equipped with the space matrix newly researched by the Star Spirit Empire, which can make the aircraft carrier quickly and accurately jump to any location, even if the location is not covered by the spirit matrix; A powerful psionic shield that can withstand all attacks, thanks to a large energy core, the shield can quickly recover after damage.
Of course, the attack means of the aircraft carrier are also very powerful: the carrier-based aircraft group is the main attack method of the aircraft carrier when dealing with large-scale targets, and thousands of UAVs can freely match various energy weapons to tear apart all enemies; If the enemy wants to sneak attack by suddenly approaching the carrier, he will see the power of the high-energy particle beam, a close-in weapon hidden under the carrier's armor, which is hidden between the hull patterns and only appears when it needs to be activated.
When it comes to the most powerful weapon of the aircraft carrier, of course, the main gun located in the center of the ship - the giant psionic focus core, this new weapon researched by the Imperial Psionic Research Institute and the Institute of Physics, can gather terrifying psionic energy, in the test, an asteroid with a diameter of 300Km was destroyed by the main cannon of the aircraft carrier, according to the prediction of scientists, more than ten aircraft carrier cannons can easily destroy a terrestrial planet.
Of course, this idea was severely rebuked by the Supreme Council, every planet capable of breeding life is worth protecting, and even if the life on it is really irreparably degenerated, it cannot take such rude actions as exploding planets.
In view of the current and possible future more powerful weapons, the Supreme Council and the Imperial Academy of Scientific Research jointly set a weapon standard - the purification level, which refers to the level of power that can remove all life on a planet without destroying the planet, if the power of a weapon exceeds the purification level, it must be restricted, and if you want to use the power beyond the purification level, you must obtain the consent of the Supreme Council, otherwise the commander of the fleet will be sentenced.
After the aircraft carrier was put into service, the armament of the Star Spirit Empire began to be greatly updated, and many excellent reconnaissance aircraft pilots wanted to become captains of new aircraft carriers, but because an aircraft carrier often needed hundreds of people to maintain its operation, this also led to the aircraft carrier's pilot training becoming a popular course in the military for a while.
Of course, the service of the aircraft carrier does not mean that the reconnaissance aircraft has withdrawn from the stage of history, the engineers of the empire have upgraded the equipment of the reconnaissance aircraft, so that he can also jump at will like the aircraft carrier, increase the range of the main weapon, strengthen the shield armor, and make the reconnaissance aircraft a supplement to the aircraft carrier fleet.
After being rewarded by the Supreme Council, the Calles of the Imperial Academy of Engineering fell into a frenzy of trying to design a larger and more powerful warship than an aircraft carrier.
In the year 1500 of the Kara calendar, the Kale technicians completed this masterpiece in the history of the Star Spirit ship - the mothership, this giant warship is round as a whole, and has a triangular bulge outward, and the diameter has reached an astonishing 3km, the whole ship still implements the consistent aesthetics of the Star Spirits, like a beautiful work of art, but the power she contains will surprise all those who look down on her.
Each mothership is the same and different, and there is a library built inside the ship: a large number of documents from various fields are stored for research and reference; Art Pavilion: displays artworks of various eras and civilizations; Leisure ground: available for rest and entertainment; There are also a variety of chambers such as dormancy chambers and meditation rooms, and the entire mothership acts as a moving city, providing various services to the astral spirits who inhabit them, and the ship's commander can customize these chambers.
Each mothership is powered by a giant Kaedalin Crystal, a powerful crystal that gives the mothership unparalleled power, allowing it to easily tear through time and space, such as creating a black hole to destroy several enemy fleets, or using a purifying beam (planetary fragmentation cannon) to instantly raze an entire planet.
Of course, the mothership is not only destructive, but also carries a mobile psionic matrix that can support all the astral forces on a planet; The mothership can also activate the Phased Space Stance, which folds part of the space to make friendly units invisible and avoid damage; There is also the Time Bomb (Time Resonance), where the mothership uses powerful psionic energy to warp time, and can control the surrounding time at will to change the situation on the battlefield; The mothership can even deploy an invincible shield to protect allies in the surrounding or designated area, including the mothership, from any damage.
The Supreme Council praised the invention, and Madonis himself named the first mothership the El Shield, and the engineers who designed the mothership were also praised, but because the mothership was powered by Kedarin crystals above level 10, the number of motherships produced was not large, so each mothership became the flagship of a fleet.
But there are also some scientists and explorers who want to use the mothership as their exploration spacecraft, the mothership is powerful enough to protect them through all kinds of difficulties in the universe, and after a long discussion, the Supreme Council agreed to this plan, so some of the motherships are full of scientists and explorers, and go to the depths of the universe.
But the accident happened, in the year 2500 of the Kara calendar, two motherships crashed in the sky above a neutron star at the same time, as the inventor of the psionic matrix, Nesin once had a hunch, a series of trivial coincidences caused the biggest disaster since the establishment of Kara, although the phase technicians quickly found a solution and fixed the problem, and added the ability to recall groups to each mothership, but the Supreme Keeper sensed a hint of danger.
If even the most powerful warship of the moment, the mothership, can't really protect us, will our enemies destroy us so easily when disaster strikes?
This conjecture made the three Lohana sisters extremely anxious, although so far, the Star Spirit Empire has not encountered other intelligent life in this universe, but first, the trace of the Fanged King has never been found, and secondly, the Star Spirit Empire's observation of the parallel universe has also been for a while, and has seen the fate of many alien races in other universes.
"Since the mothership can't shelter us, let's build a more powerful warship" Shantila has always loved engineering research, but after the mothership appeared more than a thousand years ago, the technology of the star spirits seems to have stagnated a little, and no more powerful warships have been created, and this disaster has once again reminded them that they can't let their guard down because of the long-term comfort, this time it is a neutron star coincidence, and the next time it is very likely that the Fangs King will invade in a big way.
In the year 3,000 of the Kara calendar, with the advice of the Supreme Conservators, the support of the Supreme Council, and the help of Shantila, the Kalai engineers worked together to finally develop the incredible masterpiece, the Ark Ship.
A fully staffed ark can win a war without backup, and it can evacuate the entire galaxy in an instant, thanks to the psionic matrix and the fold network that can cover the entire galaxy; The Ark is powered by the Solar Matrix Core, an artificial star that can maintain its functions and supply the thousands of soldiers and crews in the Ark for billions of years. The Ark is so enclosed that even if the Ark loses power and floats in the universe for centuries, the crew will be unharmed.
The Ark is nearly 100 kilometers long, the width of the stern is also tens of kilometers, the hull is so large, but the handling is very good, not only can make long-distance jumps, but also dodge and jump at close range; The Ark is equipped with unimaginably advanced weapons, including but not limited to stopping the time of a starry sky, delivering a saturation devastating strike on an area, and delivering a point-to-point sustained strike on a target; Of course, the Ark also has a complete ship manufacturing line, with the production capacity of one reconnaissance team per day; The Ark can serve as a command center for a long war, and all systems in the ship have backup systems.
The Ark was conceived to provide the perfect solution for any disaster or war.
At the launch of the first ark, Madonis appointed Arden to light it and named it the Spear of Arden, and in the following time, the Astral Empire built two more arks, but due to the large resources consumed to make the ark, it has affected the normal development of the empire, so it was stopped by the supreme preservator, and the two arks were named the pride of Otalis and the memory of Nesin respectively.
With three arks, the Astral Empire regained the courage to face the unknown darkness, and they sent the Spear of Arden to the frontier to expand the territory; Patrol the empire with the pride of Otalis, guarding every land in the empire; He also stationed the Memory of Nesin in El to prevent anyone from attacking the main planet.
The golden age of the Star Spirit Empire has arrived, and although they have not yet encountered an enemy, their technological level has reached the top of this universe, worthy of the title of the eldest son of the gods, and the secrets of the Fanged King are about to be revealed.
