Chapter 541: Negative Matter Cannon
Not only antimatter weapons, but also the research and development of negative matter weapons have also been put on the agenda by Yuan Haochen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is true that these superweapons will not be used for the time being, because the current force alone is enough to unify the new world without much effort, but this does not mean that the human civilization in the new world does not need to improve the strength of space warfare, and can sit back and relax forever.
At this stage, the new world does not have the corresponding pressure and motivation to develop more powerful weapons and equipment, but, according to the idea of preparing for a rainy day, no one knows what will happen in the future, and what level of opponent human civilization will encounter in this dark universe.
Creating negative matter weapons requires a lot of energy, and must be built on a sufficiently solid foundation of antimatter technology.
This is a monumental feat of innovation in the fields of technology and engineering. In total, tens of thousands of scientists and engineers are needed to participate in it, and for this reason, Yuan Haochen specifically requested that people from the planet Zitong continue to be deployed to participate in related construction projects.
In addition, more than 100 million highly intelligent mechanical engineers are involved in the development and construction of the negative matter cannon.
Tesla's idea was very bold, and he originally wanted to build a super star destroyer cannon (planet-level volume) similar to that used to protect the planet Zeus in the Sunrise system.
However, Yuan Haochen thought that as the first time to build a negative matter cannon, this plan might be too advanced, so he asked Tesla to rebuild a negative matter star destroyer that could match the space carrier-level negative matter cannon.
Rao is so, the size of the negative matter Star Destroyer Cannon is still outrageously large, just the diameter of the muzzle is more than 1 kilometer.
Of course, there is another simple reason for such a huge volume - limited technical strength. All of the control parts of the entire Negative Matter Cannon are bulky guys. The negative material cannon that was piled up in the end was naturally also amazing.
Because the current industrial strength of human civilization is not able to reduce the size of these giant parts and components, just like the first generation of computers invented by human beings is huge, but the performance is very low.
However, the firing caliber of a weapon is generally proportional to the corresponding power.
Therefore, equipping the Dawnbreaker space carrier with a "giant cannon" immediately added a bit of a shocking flavor to the universe.
This negative matter star destroyer cannon mainly contains two core modules, one part is the negative matter generation component, and the other part is the negative matter launch module.
As the name suggests, the Negative Matter Generation Module is responsible for the production and storage of negative matter. In order to ensure the huge energy demand, the energy supply unit in the negative matter generation module must be built very large, and the huge energy supply demand also means that the difficulty of construction increases exponentially.
Because of the large size of the Negative Matter Generation Module, Tesla's team was unable to install it on a small warship, which means that the Negative Matter Cannon can only be used on a giant warship.
The final negative cannon was built with a volume of nearly 6 kilometers in length, 3 kilometers in width and 2 kilometers in height. You know, even on top of the space carrier, this volume almost occupies a huge part.
"Because of the mass properties of negative matter, its emission speed can easily approach the speed of light in three-dimensional space. However, there are certain limitations on the range of artillery shells, which are not suitable for attacking targets over very long distances. Tesla was full of energy to introduce the performance of the negative matter star destroyer cannon to Yuan Haochen.
Yuan Haochen nodded in approval, because the emission speed of negative matter is extremely fast, but in interstellar space, the so-called "vacuum" is actually not a "vacuum", more or less, there will always be some cosmic dust and free elemental particles.
It is conceivable that at a launch distance of up to 10 billion kilometers, the accumulation of thin cosmic dust and interstellar matter is also a very large amount, and they will inevitably cause a significant weakening of the actual power of the negative matter cannon during the launch process.
However, in the case of close combat, the terrifying strength of the negative matter cannon will be highlighted, because the attack of the negative matter cannon is almost impossible to defend against, and in this world composed of positive mass matter, any contact between positive mass matter and negative mass matter will be annihilated instantaneously, and it is inevitable.
"Thankfully, we have a large number of engineering robots." Yuan Haochen looked at the construction scene painting in full swing on the monitor and sighed. Tens of millions of intelligent engineering robots are running at full power, and at every moment, countless materials are precision processed and manufactured into special parts. The engineering robot then mounts the parts on the carrier in an orderly manner.
"Leader, do we need to test the power of the Negative Matter Star Destroyer?" Tesla asked expectantly.
"Why not? Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Yuan agreed, and he was looking forward to seeing how the new weapon system would behave out of the ordinary.
"Okay, I'll arrange it!" After Tesla answered, he immediately turned around and arranged specific work deployments.
......
Dozens of artificial strong light sources were launched into the pitch-black cosmic space, and a large black cosmic background was lit up, and the darkness was gradually dispelled.
Subsequently, in this bright test area, dozens of unmanned warships flew to the predetermined location in an orderly manner, and these warships were of different types and volumes, the smallest of which was only a few tens of meters long, and the largest of which was more than a kilometer long.
"Leader, you can get ready to start, please instruct."
In the command room inside the spacecarrier Daybreak, Tesla asked Yuan Haochen.
"Let's get started!"
Yuan Haochen gave the order concisely and concisely.
So, everyone waited with great anticipation for this historic moment.
......
"Buzz~~~"
After a dizzying sound and vibration.
"Gone!! It's really gone!! ”
"Sure enough, it was as expected."
"How exactly this process happened was silent and without any warning at all."
Before everyone could react, the target battleship disappeared in an instant.
Yes, it was just a miniature battleship, but after being attacked by the Negative Matter Cannon, it disappeared from this world in an instant.
Without any movement, without any energy fluctuations, it disappeared inexplicably, as if it had never existed in this world......
