Chapter 14 Nuclear Energy

Speaking of nuclear weapons, we have to talk about the use of nuclear fusion and nuclear fission in interstellar civilizations.

The temperature and energy released by the Type I plasma cannon within the controllable range, that is, within the range of the plasma explosion, are equivalent to the center of the nuclear explosion, but the disadvantage is that it is not as large as the range of the nuclear explosion. However, an attack of this level will not hurt the existence of level 9 if the existence of level 9 has arranged the enchantment in advance. In other words, even if a nuclear weapon is used to attack the existence of level 9, if there is no frontal hit, there is no threat to the existence of level 9, which is the reason why the Isis realm is stronger than the earth civilization. The energy consumed to fire a Type I plasma cannon is about one hundredth of life energy.

The power of the Z-type plasma cannon is much stronger than that of the Type I plasma cannon, and the energy and temperature released by the explosion center have even far exceeded the energy of nuclear fusion. The energy it takes to fire a Z-Plasma Cannon is only one-fifth of its life.

Power and energy are not directly proportional, the power of life energy after converting a form into plasma is much more powerful than pure life energy, and the power generated by energy mainly depends on how to apply. After entering the cosmic civilization, most of the main guns of warships are not nuclear weapons, but various light energy weapons, and the power furnace is not a nuclear furnace, but a furnace that converts Thai ore.

This is not to say that the energy released by nuclear energy is lower than that of Thai ore, but when there is a directly accessible and safe energy and the variable energy of nuclear energy, the trade-off is not so difficult to choose. Of course, the second-level civilization, the low-level civilization of the low-level civilization, has not given up the use of nuclear energy, and there are still nuclear power plants built on many colonial stars to provide energy, after all, building a nuclear power plant is much simpler than looking for a Thai mine with limited resources, but in any case, nuclear energy cannot replace the status of the Thai mine.

Chu Heng has coveted nuclear energy for a long time, but now the Zerg is powerless against nuclear energy technology, but once he conquers the Luoyun Star Domain, Chu Heng can order them to build a nuclear power plant without restrictions to provide energy for the Zerg. However, this method is not a long-term solution, because compared to the more advanced energy body dark crystal, nuclear energy is no different from a child's house. One gram of dark crystal can extract 10,000 life energy with the ability of KEY, and this is when the extraction degree of dark crystal by the Moon God Empire is less than one percent. This alone is enough to explain the horror of Dark Crystal, which is also the reason why those advanced civilizations would fight to destroy the country and destroy the race for a resource star containing Dark Crystal.

Slow missiles in space warfare are mercilessly blasted by light weapons, and nuclear weapons have little use in interstellar warfare, except for some unmanned fighters equipped with nuclear weapons that are used to self-detonate. And nuclear weapons exist for the current cosmic civilization to destroy the planet, which is also the reason why the ground war is of little significance after the victory of the space war.

Twenty thousand years ago, the greatest scientist of the Gamma Empire wrote a paper on the influence of energy shields and light energy on matter, and since then energy shield science has entered the field of vision of the Luoyun Star Field, and was developed soon after. The Energy Shield, also known as the Light Shield, has been developed for 20,000 years now. It can be said that the shield system of Luo Yun Star Domain is quite mature.

At present, the Falcon Empire's Flomilan-class battleships with the strongest shield system have a shield value of more than 10,000 gamma, of which only 800 gamma can defend against small-yield nuclear bombs, and the force caused by super-large yield complete nuclear fusion warheads can only reach 9,000 gamma values.

And the current Leviathan magic fortress is a little stronger than the Flomilan-class battleships. In other words, Leviathan is theoretically no longer afraid of weapons, of course, if multiple nuclear warheads are launched at the same time, it is a different matter. But the Leviathan's 300 laser compound eyes couldn't get a nuclear bomb close anyway.

After Chu Heng sent Biele and Rod away, he began to study the Xinluo Cloud Star Map that he had obtained from Rhodes. After eight thousand years of exploration, the power of the Luo Yun Star Domain has really expanded the scope of control a lot, although part of the territory is still occupied by the Mu Lan Empire, but the eight thousand years of time have also allowed the power of the Luo Yun Star Domain to expand the scope of control by twenty percent.

Today's Luoyun Star Domain forces have controlled a total of more than 20 administrative stars that are suitable for human habitation after being slightly modified, more than 400 colonial stars that are not completely suitable for human habitation and are being transformed, more than 800 artificial satellites, and more than 200 resource stars. Its scope includes more than 1,000 star systems, and more than 20,000 waste star systems have been explored, and 8% of the Luoyun Star Domain has been explored.

The reason why the data is so vague is that it is impossible for each potential force to expose all of their territory and newly discovered useful planets to other potential forces, so these data are all counted by the Morakot Federation itself. It should not be much different from the actual data, but it is not accurate.

What Chu Heng really cares about now is an asteroid belt known as the Black Triangle, which is the junction of the Morak Federation, the Elsa Free Territory and the Gul Empire, theoretically speaking, it is the territory of the Elsa Free Territory, but in fact, the Elsa Free Territory does not have a high degree of control over it, because there are a large number of pirate groups entrenched here all year round. Elsa Free Leader officials sent fleets to encircle and suppress many times, but they returned because of the complex terrain there, and even in a suppression operation, they were tricked into the death zone by pirates, and were almost completely wiped out by the high-radiation cosmic rays there.

And Chu Heng wants to buy and sell Tai Ore and Divine Stone through pirate means, and Leviathan must not appear there, otherwise it is very likely to leak the Zerg hidden in the shadows, but Chu Heng can send cardinals to help Bile integrate the pirates there.

Chu Heng rubbed his brows, although the cardinals were strong, they had no room to play in the space war, but there was one thing that could make them like a fish in water, and that was the upstart that was emerging in the Luo Yun Star Domain, a mecha that claimed to be very likely to end the status of battleships in the future.

The mecha is a fighting machine controlled by humans, which has been extremely dazzling in the battles with the Mullan Empire for nearly three hundred years, and even several ace pilots have destroyed the warships of the Mullin Empire...... (To be continued......)
