Chapter 303: The Lore of the Projection Battleship
No matter how war develops, as long as it has not jumped out of the scope of this universe, the rules will never change, people are just constantly complicating the process of war, but the essence is still like that.
Just like at the beginning of human beings used stones to fight, and later switched to harder metals, the essence is to use hard objects to break through the limits of the opponent's molecular structure, so that the opponent's structure is damaged, and then finally the cold weapon evolves into a gun, the gun itself is an extension of the cold weapon, and the essence has not changed, but the kinetic energy given to the weapon has changed from muscle to explosive, and the same is true for later electromagnetic weapons, in the final analysis, it still can't escape the category of kinetic weapons.
The damage dealt by a battleship's weapons can also be divided into three types: kinetic damage, thermal damage, and electromagnetic damage.
The so-called kinetic damage is to put it bluntly, impact, the oldest, simplest, and most practical weapon, the power of high-speed impact is huge, and sometimes it can even destroy the entire battleship. Some of the heavy naval guns in the alliance can even fire hundreds of kilograms of shells at a quarter of the speed of light, and in space with little assistance, its range is almost infinite, and the misalignment distance is also more than 1000 AU. Although kinetic weapons do great damage, are also very practical and cheap, due to the physical limits of the shell material, their shells are only a quarter of the speed of light, which is not particularly fast for a spaceship, and it is not difficult to dodge, and for a spaceship that can use short-range star-jumping technology, the hit rate is infinitely close to 0.
And the thermal weapon is to put it bluntly, it is an explosion, due to the popularization of positive and antimatter annihilation technology in the alliance, antimatter ** has long been a rotten street. The powerful antimatter engine can drive ** to move forward at 90% of the speed of light, the precision guidance system can hit the target with a warhead containing a large amount of antimatter, and if the energy of positive and antimatter annihilation completely hits the opponent's spacecraft, one ** is enough to destroy a spaceship, and the explosion range of antimatter ** is extremely large, and the damage to the fighter group is naturally great. The biggest flaw is that it is easy to be interfered with, especially when encountering warships equipped with strong jamming equipment, which is of little use.
Electromagnetic energy damage is mainly laser weapons, after all, pulse laser cannons and cluster laser cannons are very lethal weapons, huge damage to the shield of the battleship, can also penetrate the entire group, causing fatal damage to a column of targets, because the speed of laser weapons is the speed of light, laser weapons can be used as both interception weapons and offensive weapons.
Of course, lasers also have their nemesis, which is the reflective structure. The reflective structure can easily use the total reflection reflected laser, and when Asker was dealing with crystalline creatures, the other party quickly evolved a reflective structure to deal with heavy laser cannons, but because this material is hard and brittle, it is not very effective in resisting kinetic damage, and at the same time, because the kinetic energy diffusion ability is not particularly high, this structure is easy to be destroyed by thermal weapons.
Just as the cavalry restrained the infantry in the cold weapon era, the spearmen restrained the cavalry, and the sword and shield infantry restrained the spears, even if the technology has developed to the high-end Star Wars level such as the Pan-Star Alliance, there is still a simple and circular restraint relationship between weapons.
But...... There are exceptions, that is, when the opponent's technology is much higher than yours, not one level higher, but several levels, to the extent that the enemy is beyond reach, just like the ancient cavalry has evolved into a modern heavy tank, and your spear has not broken through to the level of anti-tank guns, then the outcome of the war is self-evident.
The battle in Kodor was no exception, the pirates used quick tactics to catch the Galan fleet off guard, just like the nimble archers constantly used arrows to consume heavy formations, and the pirates' macro ion cannon as a killer weapon was like the occasional poisoned arrow, which was even more unguardable, but what they didn't expect was ...... The Kailan fleet has a heavy weapon in their hands that will crush their current state of technology.
That was the projection battleship, the flagship of the fleet that Ze personally piloted and commanded. Although the battle seemed to be fierce, the Kailan fleet had lost one capital ship and most of the other ships were wounded, but the projection battleship was still unscathed, or rather...... It had indeed been damaged many times by the aftermath, but it was restored in an instant.
"First mate, get ready to start the ship's rebirth." At this point in the war, Ze's mood did not change, and he calmly turned on the communicator on the spaceship and said.
"Ze, the distance between us and the enemy ship group is too close, and we have no time to turn on inertial suppression." The adjutant's voice came over the communicator.
"No, let the center module maintain its original speed, everything else remains the same, all the fire covers the flagship, and we crash into it." Ze said lightly.
"Captain!?" After being stunned for a few seconds, the adjutant over there was puzzled and surprised.
The central module is the soul of the projection battleship, it releases the projection of the spaceship to command the operation of the basic module, and also stores the information of the entire battleship, the deployment of each basic module is also controlled by the central module, the central module is not destroyed, and the material reserved by the projection battleship is enough to make it reborn tens of thousands of times, but once the central module is damaged, the battleship will lose the ability to reshape, and this invincible battleship of the Kailan civilization that condenses countless wisdom will become scrap metal.
"This is the order, storm the enemy phalanx!" Ze didn't talk to him anymore, and gave the final order, and the whole fleet received his order and began to cover him with full firepower, projecting the battleship to full engine, and the speed instantly increased by several notches, and rushed towards the center of the enemy's fleet.
The pirates didn't react to their actions at all, only to see the Kailan fleet suddenly start firing wildly, and a small spaceship rushed out at an incredible speed, at first the pirate fleet didn't pay attention at all, such a small spaceship, once it got close, it would be automatically destroyed by the point defense, but then, unbelievable things happened.
The small ship was constantly hit, destroyed, and then recovered in the next second, all the broken parts were quickly restored, and the speed did not decrease in the slightest, as if time had been reversed, passing through the densest fire zone of the point defense, the projection battleship was destroyed to the point of only the intermediate module and some surrounding protective plates, but it managed to rush into the core of the enemy fleet.
"It's over." Ze has lost count of how many times he has been reborn in the medical chamber, "Release thirty percent of the energy of the basic module." ”
As soon as the words fell, the projection ship quickly reorganized back into its original form, and the basic modules scattered around it released a dazzling light, and the ship stood in the flames like a phoenix reborn in Nirvana, and the large amount of destructive energy that escaped would become a nightmare for the pirates......
