Chapter 403: The Attack of the Star

However, this is also human nature, no matter how ordinary people face unknown things, they will have fear, especially when this unknown thing is so powerful that it is invincible, so the knee-jerk reaction will stay away from this dangerous unknown thing.

Therefore, the reaction of Princess Tianfeng's subordinates is also normal, even if it is a fierce reaction, it is normal, for example, the reaction of changing to the regiment is very fierce now, maybe when this spaceship appeared before, the loss of their pirate group was too great, after all, there were more than a hundred of their pirate group left, but because of the ripples caused by the appearance of this giant ship, two-thirds of the spaceship was lost, which was too big a blow to them, so now some of the pirate group's spaceships are attacking this giant ship, Some turned the ship around and ran, while others stayed where they were, and the whole pirate group was completely disorganized.

That's right, even if the giant ship that appeared is the Star spaceship of the Ming Empire, you must know that this is a mothership-level spaceship, even if it is placed in the galaxy, such a spaceship is a top-level spaceship, let alone in this small ocean of light.

Therefore, the attack of the pirate group has no effect on the Star at all, even if the ship has not opened the protective shield at this time, such an attack will not do any harm to the Star, even if it is for the rune protection on the battleship, it will not cause a little damage.

At this time, the Xingchen began to counterattack, and it is not the style of the Ming Empire to just be beaten and not to fight back, even if the other party is only a fourth-level civilization, so what, but this time the Xingchen did not use the main gun on the spaceship, not even the secondary gun.

These spaceships of the pirate ship are already their main warships for the fourth-level civilization, but for the Ming Empire, the main battleships of the fourth-level civilization are not as good as the destroyers of the Ming Empire, so the main and auxiliary guns of the Star are not used to deal with these warships, because the main and secondary guns of the Star are used to fight these warships like killing chickens and using cattle knives and cannons to fight mosquitoes.

So this time the Star counterattack used nothing more than some inconsequential artillery, but even these cannons were already extremely powerful for the Corsair's ship.

So at this time, Princess Tianfeng saw the giant ship and said a few times about the white light.

"Boom!" The first space battleship in the pirate group suddenly seemed to encounter some irresistible force, the entire spaceship first flickered with a protective shield, and then collapsed directly, and then the bow of the spaceship collapsed directly backwards as if it had hit a wall, and then the entire battleship suddenly exploded.

The railgun shells used by the Star this time are also very different from usual, and now the pirate group is less than two astronomical units away from the nearest spaceship to the Star, so at this distance, the Ming Empire did not use the original conventional shells at all, after all, the most conventional railgun shells of the Ming Empire focus on penetration, and conventional wars are generally fought at a long distance, especially in civilizations above level five like the Ming Empire, and there are very few hand-to-hand combat.

And now the distance is less than two astronomical units, for a huge spaceship, this is already considered hand-to-hand combat, so the shells used in these railguns are special shells, the material is essentially different from ordinary shells, ordinary railgun shells are very hard, but these just launched railgun shells are not particularly hard, and even a little soft, and these railgun shells are not solid, they contain small neutron bullets, after all, with the current technology of the Ming Empire, It is possible to reduce the neutron bomb to a tiny shell.

Therefore, the shells fired by these small railguns do not have to be afraid of causing penetrating effects, and there is no need to be afraid that neutron bombs will cause radiation, after all, neutron bombs, atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, do not cause radiation, and the power is quite amazing.

And since it is a close combat, the weapons used are generally small combat weapons, of course, these weapons are only for large spaceships.

Therefore, the attack speed of these melee weapons is very fast, and they can basically fire dozens of shells every second, so there is no need to pursue the penetration of shells at all.

However, although these railguns are small railguns, they can also make the speed of the railgun's shells reach about 50% of the speed of light, so the penetration of these shells is very strong due to the speed.

Even the ships of these pirate groups are among the most advanced in the entire Ocean of Light, and even most of these remaining pirate ships still have this protective shield.

Although the protective shield can only be developed in the fifth-level civilization, it cannot be ruled out that some fourth-level civilizations can develop protective shields, although these protective shields are completely two concepts compared to the protective shields of the fifth-level civilization, but at least they can provide some protection for spaceships, and since these pirate groups belong to the privateer fleet of the more powerful civilizations in the Ocean of Light, it is not uncommon for some of the spaceships to have protective shields that can only be possessed by the top ships of the fourth-level civilization.

But even with the existence of a protective shield, these spaceships are only spaceships of a fourth-level civilization, and they have no protective effect on the railgun shells launched by the Star of the Ming Empire.

At a speed of 50% of the speed of light, the shell of a railgun penetrates the shields and armor of these ships directly and instantaneously, and then the purpose of the cannonball generates a huge amount of energy and explodes directly in the spaceship.

So one pirate ship after another exploded one after another, flashing beautiful sparks in space.

At this time, Princess Tianfeng and the others were completely stunned, because they didn't see the energy beam emitted by this giant ship at all, which meant that what this giant ship launched was not an energy attack, but a physical attack.

This is a very big impact for them, because there is no civilization in the entire civilization of the Ocean of Light that will still use physical attacks as an attack method at this stage of civilization level, because in their opinion, pure physical attacks should have been eliminated long ago at this civilization stage.

Because compared to energy attacks, the speed of physical attacks is too slow, and most of the energy attacks can reach speeds close to the speed of light or the speed of light, but physical attacks are definitely not possible, and if you want to accelerate matter to 50% of the speed of light, the energy required is very huge.

Even a long time ago, scientists at the Ocean of Light calculated that if matter were to be accelerated to 50% of the speed of light, the energy required could already propel a massive spaceship to one hundredth of the speed of light.

After all, a physical attack must instantly accelerate matter to 50% of the speed of light, and spaceships accelerate slowly when they fly in space, rather than accelerating matter to such a high speed in a short period of time, which is simply impossible in their opinion.

If you want to accelerate matter to a faster speed, the amount of energy expended per point of speed will increase exponentially, and the matter emitted will never reach the speed of light.
