Chapter 479
Since Zhang Weihua and this space pirate fleet still have a long time to come into contact, after all, whether it is this pirate or Zhang Weihua, the fastest speed of their fleet has not yet reached the speed of light, so Zhang Weihua still has enough time to prepare.
To say that the weapons of the Ming Empire are now very powerful, although the most important attack method of the Ming Empire is still based on electromagnetic railguns as in the early days, but the electromagnetic railgun shells used now are no longer pure physical attacks, because the shells of the electromagnetic railgun are not only inscribed with various runes, but also the existence of antimatter energy in the electromagnetic railgun shells, so the power of the electromagnetic railgun is definitely much stronger than in the past.
However, although the electromagnetic railgun attack is very powerful, but compared with other advanced civilizations in the galaxy, the attack power of this kind of weapon is not the most powerful, and the power of the top energy cannon of those fifth-level civilizations in the galaxy is definitely much stronger than the electromagnetic railgun of the Ming Empire, but this kind of energy cannon is not without the Ming Empire, but generally speaking, the warships of the Ming Empire will not install this kind of top energy cannon, especially small and medium-sized spaceships.
After all, according to the law of conservation of energy, the stronger the attack, the greater the amount of energy required, and although the attack power of this kind of top-level energy cannon is very powerful, the consumption of energy is also unbearable for ordinary spaceships, and the electromagnetic railgun of the Ming Empire is different, all the energy is basically consumed to accelerate the cannonball.
Therefore, the energy consumption of the electromagnetic railgun for the spaceship itself is not large, in contrast, the Ming Empire prefers to use the electromagnetic railgun, except for the electromagnetic railgun, the other weapons of the Ming Empire are not worse than the top energy cannon of the advanced civilization of the galaxy.
After all, the weapons of the Ming Empire have begun to diversify, and if you want to talk about the weapons with the highest attack power, then the quantum foam bombs of the Ming Empire, as well as the space bombs, are the most powerful, of course, in addition, the laser weapons of the Ming Empire, quantum beam weapons, etc., far exceed the same type of energy cannons in terms of attack power.
As the fleets of the two sides continued to get closer, Zhang Weihua could clearly see the patterns on these space pirate ships, which had a purple mandala flower carved on the surface of the spaceship.
Seeing these mandala flower patterns, Zhang Weihua's heart was full of doubts, because all the advanced civilizations in the universe knew what the mandala flower represented, and there was only one civilization in the universe that would carve them on the surface of their spaceship, and that was the mandala civilization.
Although the reputation of the Mandala civilization is not very good, Zhang Weihua has never heard of any fifth-level civilization robbed by the Mandala civilization in the more than 200 years of cosmic trade.
And this time this mandala outside dared to rob Zhang Weihua, you must know that Zhang Weihua is the universe trade merchant of the Ming Empire, in the universe, the universe trade merchant of the Ming Empire represents the face of the Ming Empire, and he was robbed on behalf of the face of the mandala fan in the face of the Ming Empire.
However, since it has been encountered, then it must be fought first, you must know that among the many fifth-level civilizations in the galaxy, the Mandala civilization has not sent an envoy to the Ming Empire to establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Empire.
In fact, at this time, the fleet of the Mandala civilization had already received Zhang Weihua's information, but the fleet of the Mandala civilization was not sure that the space trade fleet ahead was a fifth-level civilization space caravan, and they had never heard of the Ming Empire.
In fact, this is not to blame the mandala civilization, the mandala civilization is a slave civilization, and in the galaxy the mandala civilization is the representative of the slave owners, the reputation in the galaxy is very poor, under normal circumstances, if there is no need for any civilization to interact with the people of the mandala civilization, naturally no one tells the mandala civilization that a new fifth-level civilization has appeared in the universe, that is, the Ming Empire.
Therefore, this fleet of the Mandala civilization did not know that there was a fifth-level civilization in the universe, the Ming Empire, and naturally they thought that this was a caravan of other civilizations pretending to be a fifth-level civilization, which made them feel extremely angry, so they didn't even bother to reply to the information.
You must know that the fifth-level civilization in the galaxy is very famous, basically every fifth-level civilization knows the existence of other fifth-level or more civilizations, and pretending to be a fifth-level civilization is a very serious matter, so the fleet of the Mandala civilization mistakenly thinks that this fleet of the Ming Empire is pretending to be a fifth-level civilization.
"Electromagnetic railgun preparation." When the distance between the two sides was still five light years, Zhang Weihua ordered his team to launch the electromagnetic railgun, after all, he was at a disadvantage compared to the opponent's fleet, although in such a long-distance attack, the hit rate would not be very high, but it could make the long-range attack of the Ming Empire vividly reflected, after all, the electromagnetic railgun is not an energy cannon, this is a physical attack, and the power of this type of weapon can be well exerted in the universe without resistance.
What's more, as long as one shot hits the opponent, then when it comes to close combat, the pressure can be reduced by one point.
However, at this moment, the Mandala Civilization Fleet, which had reached 90% of the speed of light, rushed towards Zhang Weihua and them at an accelerated speed again, and at this time their speed had reached an astonishing 93% of the speed of light, you must know that even the most advanced spaceship of the Ming Empire could only reach 90% of the speed of light in conventional navigation, which was already the limit that most fifth-level civilizations could reach.
After all, once the speed reaches more than 90% of the speed of light, then every time the speed increases, the amount of energy paid will increase geometrically, so the general fifth-level civilization even the Ming Empire will not invest too much in this aspect, after all, it is impossible to exceed the speed of light in the fifth-level civilization stage anyway, even if it is a higher civilization sixth-level seventh-level civilization, it is also impossible to solve this problem.
And now the warp speed engine used by many fifth- and sixth-level civilizations in the galaxy is still through wormholes, and everything is achieved beyond the speed of light by distorting space and shortening the distance above space.
It is precisely because it is very difficult to accelerate to more than 90% of the speed of light, so Zhang Weihua and the others are so surprised, surprised that this mandala civilization spaceship can exceed 90% of the speed of light, and even reach 93% of the speed of light.
Zhang Weihua They did not increase their speed, at this time their speed was only about 80% of the speed of light, and these armed merchant ships in his fleet could not reach 90% of the speed of light at all, after all, these armed merchant ships were converted from civilian merchant ships, and 80% of the speed of light was already the limit of these armed merchant ships, and they could not be compared with real military spaceships.
