Chapter 448: Antimatter Attack

In fact, the secret weapon that the leader of the Pirate of Light said in his mouth was a weapon technology that the Ming Empire was very familiar with, antimatter weapons.

Antimatter technology is a very practical technology, most of the fifth-level civilizations in the galaxy will master this technology, but the fourth-level civilization has very little mastery of this technology, and the scientific and technological strength of the fourth-level civilization cannot master this technology well at all.

And the light and dark civilization is a quasi-fifth-level civilization, and its scientific and technological strength already has the basis for the development of antimatter weapons, not to mention that the area where the Guang'an civilization is located is in the most central area of the Ocean of Light, and it is very close to the black hole in the center of the Ocean of Light, so the research on antimatter is definitely much better than that of other civilizations, as the privateer fleet of the light and dark civilization, it is not surprising that the Pirate of Light has antimatter weapons.

Antimatter technology is a technology that is generally possessed by fifth-level civilizations, and the Ming Empire is no exception to this kind of technology, after all, compared to nuclear weapons, antimatter weapons are a real weapon of destruction, and even antimatter is a very efficient energy source, which is definitely much more powerful than energy, so antimatter energy is also a common currency for trade between fifth-level civilizations in the galaxy.

For antimatter technology, the Ming Empire was actually able to extract antimatter energy as early as hundreds of years ago when it was at war with the Kara civilization, but due to the limitations of the scientific and technological level of the Ming Empire at that time, although the Ming Empire was able to produce antimatter at that time, it could not be effectively preserved, even if the Ming Empire used the most advanced technology at that time to comprehensively cultivate the means, it could only preserve the existence of antimatter for less than half a month.

Moreover, the energy consumed to preserve antimatter is also very large, and the stability is very poor, and there is no practical value at all.

However, all this has completely solved these difficulties before Zhu Lei's departure, so now Zhu Lei's fleet is also equipped with antimatter energy, and even antimatter weapons, but due to the short time of research, there are not many antimatter energy and antimatter weapons in the fleet.

Therefore, in the war, Zhu Lei and they still mainly rely on conventional weapons and nuclear weapons.

And whether it is Zhu Lei or the other personnel in the fleet, they all think that to deal with pirate forces like the pirates of the light, there is no need for the Ming Empire to use antimatter weapons, this is simply killing chickens with knives and cannons to fight mosquitoes.

Although antimatter weapons are not a new weapon for the Ming Empire, antimatter weapons are a top-level weapon for the Pirate of Light and the forces behind him, which is also the hole card for the Pirate of Light to fight with the Ming Empire.

Since antimatter weapons are the latest technology developed by light and dark civilizations, the antimatter storage equipment they produce is very unstable, so they cannot perform vigorous movement most of the time, so they can't imagine firing with artillery like gravitational rays, and can only be fired with other physical vehicles.

And because the time has been so short, the entire Pirate of Light ship is equipped with dozens of antimatter weapons.

Half of these dozens of antimatter weapons are relatively small antimatter bombs, which are not equipped with thrusters because of their small size and are not equipped with thrusters, so they can only rely on space fighters to carry these antimatter weapons close to enemy spacecraft and then launch.

The other half of the antimatter weapon, but it is much larger, the power is also very powerful, and the launch facility does not need to rely on the carrying of space fighters, the vehicle of this antimatter weapon is suitable for the missiles of the Ming Empire hundreds of years ago, but the volume is much larger than the general missile, and it can even drink the size of the intercontinental missile in the 21st century.

Subsequently, the commander of the pirate group alone ordered more than a dozen special space fighters to carry these antimatter bombs towards the Ming Empire fleet, and the space missiles equipped with antimatter weapons also began to ignite and fly towards the Ming Empire's fleet.

The space fighters equipped with antimatter weapons are very different from other space fighters of the Photon Corsair, the volume of this space fighter is very small, at least half smaller than the general space fighter of the Light Pirate Group, and the speed of these space fighters is also very fast, the speed has reached about 60% of the speed of light, and the personnel who drive these space fighters are all dead soldiers of the Photon Pirate Ship, such dead soldiers are not uncommon in the Light Pirate Group, after all, as a privateer fleet of light and dark civilization, There is no shortage of such people in the entire Pirate of Light.

However, although this kind of space fighter is very fast, its own attack power is very limited, after all, with the scientific and technological level of light and dark civilization, their space fighter cannot take into account both speed and attack ability, and even has to carry a relatively large antimatter bomb.

You must know that with the technological level of light and dark civilization, it is already very remarkable to be able to produce antimatter bombs, and you don't even need to think about reducing the size.

Therefore, the volume of these antimatter bombs is much larger than that produced by the real fifth-level civilization.

Just as the Corsair of Light sent its flying machines to fly towards the Ming Empire with antimatter weapons, the radar on the Ming Empire's spacecraft also detected these flying machines, and also discovered the high-energy reactions on these flying machines.

The Ming Empire immediately knew that these high-energy reactions belonged to antimatter.

As a real fifth-level civilization, the Ming Empire has a very clear understanding of antimatter, so as soon as the pirate ships of light set off, these flying machines were detected by the Ming Empire's spacecraft, and even the antimatter missiles were discovered by the Ming Empire.

The light and dark civilization behind the pirate group of light, the gap between their scientific and technological strength and the scientific and technological strength of the Ming Empire is too big, they think that their most advanced weapon is just a very ordinary weapon in the eyes of the Ming Empire, although the power is very strong, in fact, it is very difficult to get close to the Ming Empire.

The Pirate of Light is already very small in size, and it is very hidden, and it is impossible to detect it with ordinary detection technology, if the ordinary fifth-level civilization or the civilization of the same level as the light civilization, it may not be possible to find these very secretive space fighters.

However, the Ming Empire is not an ordinary fifth-level civilization, and the neutrino faster-than-light detection radar is also very powerful at detecting these spacecraft, so the antimatter bombs that the pirate ship of light has high hopes for cannot pose any threat to the Ming Empire at all.

When these flying machines departed, Zhu Lei also began to issue Zhonggong's orders to the fleet.

Because when the radar of the Ming Empire spaceship detected that the opponent's aircraft was flying towards the Ming Empire's fleet with antimatter bombs, it was already known that this was the enemy's last resort.

Originally, I wanted to take a look at the ability of the so-called Ocean of Light Overlord, but seeing this, both Zhu Lei and the other personnel in the fleet were very disappointed.

Except for the previous gravitational attack, the other attacks were very ordinary in the eyes of the Ming Empire, and there was nothing to look forward to.

So Zhu Lei didn't want to waste any more time.
