Chapter 20 War is Destruction
Shakbal is a cosmic civilization that has reached a very high level of technology. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is impossible to be easily destroyed in any way, and the only possible reason is to encounter an unstoppable external factor, or a serious internal cause.
There may be many external causes. But from the current point of view, Luo Feng knows that this civilization has not been attacked by external factors.
Instead, it was a much more tragic war.
Almost as soon as Luo Feng had this idea, the picture on the virtual screen began to change.
In 7984, the war stopped. The two sides began to confront each other in outer space and on the planet.
In 8134, after years of confrontation between the two sides, the first peace treaty was signed.
It was the first peace treaty between the rebellious Council of the Elders, a council of the Round Table of careerists, and an eternal alliance of traditional aristocratic powers.
In 9762, the two sides finally began to trade. Business activity suddenly came alive, and the former prosperity began to reappear in Shakbar.
However, in June 1532, the peace that had lasted for more than three thousand years was broken because of a building plan of the Council of the Round Table.
Because in the following year, the construction of the Imperial Brilliant class space battleships began in a synchronous orbit at a distance of 80,000 kilometers from the ground.
"My Heavenly ......" looked at the super-large space battleship on the screen, Rao Yi Luo Feng's calmness, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
This Imperial Glory-class space battleship is simply a monster.
Although it is said to be a space battleship, it is more like a huge city. Because among the messages transmitted to him by the surrounding nerve impulses was detailed information about the space battleship.
The lead ship of this Imperial Brilliant class space battleship, and the only one built of this class space battleship, is called the Shakbar, which is more than fifty kilometers long, six hundred meters high, and 1,800 meters wide.
Plasma shields with temperatures of up to 50,000 degrees protect the ship from small comets or dust moving at high speeds, while larger materials can be destroyed by computer-controlled weapons.
In addition to the stern, the other five sides are covered with weapons, with more than 50,000 laser cannons of various calibers, and an antimatter star destroyer cannon in the front. It is equipped with three super-large curvature engines, and there are twenty large thermonuclear fusion reactors inside to provide energy.
Luo Feng still knows the curvature engine.
In fact, this is a space engine that does not have any acceleration capabilities on its own. Instead, a curvature bubble is arranged on the surface of the spacecraft to protect itself, and the purpose of moving forward is achieved by distorting the space, causing the space in front to collapse and the space in the rear to expand.
Since this mode of advance does not have a reference velocity, it is not affected by the theory of relativity and can move quickly at faster than the speed of light. It's more powerful than the so-called light-speed engine.
This made Luo Feng inadvertently think that since the Shakebar battleship was using a warp engine. And what engine does this ship use?
The picture on the virtual screen did not slow down because Luo Feng was distracted.
On the contrary, the speed is getting faster and faster, and the long war has been reduced to a very short time to reappear in front of Luo Bao.
When the data on the Imperial Glory-class space battleship was announced, the elders of the Eternal Alliance were not to be outdone, and proposed a plan to build an Einar-class space battleship in the council, and passed the council's review with speed.
And this Einar-class space battleship is almost designed to counter the Imperial Glory-class space battleships of the Council of the Round Table. The stats are almost identical to those of the Imperial Glory Tier.
It is precisely the construction plan of these two levels of space battleships that has dragged these two forces into an arms race with no future in sight.
In the first decade of the construction of the battleship, everyone was in high spirits.
But after the twentieth year, both sides began to hurt. Because a super space battleship of this level is not something that any of them can easily afford.
Not to mention anything else, the sheer amount of ordinary metal materials alone makes people desperate. The spaceyard has a large number of transport ships coming and going every day, and the supporting processing plants on the space platform are running all the time.
In order to build a space battleship of this level, both sides gritted their teeth and worked desperately to exploit resources where they could reach. For this reason, the two sides even caused a lot of friction.
But this is a special period, and no one has any intention of fighting. Everyone was restrained, like a wild bull, rushing forward, and they couldn't stop at all.
In the fiftieth year, both sides were facing depletion of resources, but only 86% of the battleships were built. And not only that, but the economies of both sides have been hit hard by this construction plan. Consumption has been curbed, various overcapacity has been seriously overcapacity, and citizens are complaining.
Seek a way out!
This has almost become the consensus of the rulers of both sides.
And the best way out is to go to war, so that the war will consume the excess capacity, and it can also divert the attention of the citizens at the bottom through war. Otherwise, it would be their council elders who should be in a hurry.
In April 1583, both sides began to recruit soldiers.
This is mainly because although technology has reached a very high level.
But there are still some things that computers can't do, so they still need intelligent beings to control them.
It's just that the demand is much smaller, often tens of thousands, and a super-large-scale war can be fought.
In May 1585, the soldiers on both sides began to exchange their guns.
On June 2 of the same year, the first petty officer of the Eternal Alliance, out of selfish desires and reckless consequences, privately controlled the Destroyer-class assault ship to rush to the station of the 15th Fleet under the jurisdiction of the Council of the Round Table, and destroyed more than 20 Warrior fighters in one fell swoop.
Such a blatant attack made the opponent furious. Directly destroyed the assault ship and captured the controllers.
Because of this matter, it is difficult to suppress the contradictions.
The Eternal Alliance retaliated against the forces of the Council of the Round Table without the orders of the Council of Elders.
It is for this reason that the Second Total War was fought without premeditation, without planning, without orders, and without the actions of the officers. When the higher-ups reacted, they couldn't stop it. You must grit your teeth and fight it, otherwise you will not be able to give an account to the citizens.
Battleships move silently in the universe like ghosts.
All the fleet maneuvers and firepower projections were done in silence, and the silence made people feel terrible. But the blow was devastating.
Millions of degrees of heat can burn through a battleship's armor. The ion cannon is invisible, but it can easily evaporate most of the material.
Antimatter weapons take a long time to recharge, but they are extremely powerful. When antimatter and matter come into contact with each other, it produces a huge amount of energy, enough to destroy anything known.
It's just that antimatter is too difficult to obtain, even with the scientific and technological power of the Shakbars, it is impossible to get too much, so it is naturally impossible to use antimatter to attack low-value targets.
Otherwise, they would have used antimatter to power the spacecraft a long time ago, how could they have used thermonuclear reactors?
But if antimatter is too expensive to be popularized on a large scale.
Then the radiation cannon is a cheap weapon of destruction.
There is so much radioactive material in space that there is simply no shortage of it.
In addition, this radiation cannon only needs to consume very few materials at a time, and it can get the most terrifying lethality. So it became an excellent weapon.
By using a neutron beam to hit the nuclear material in the reactor chamber, the material is instantaneously decayed, completing the decay process that takes many years to complete, thus releasing huge amounts of energy and rays.
This energy can be collected through a collection device, which can provide energy for the battleship. At the same time, through the muzzle of the cannon, these radiation storms are shot out.
There are many different types of radiation, some of which are one, some of which are two, and even three, and the measurement of radiation varies. This increases the difficulty and cost of the opponent's defenses.
However, among the three major rays, only gamma rays have the strongest penetrating power and a long range of action, so they have become a key defensive target.
Even so, it is not known how much radiation the other side will use, so it is a tricky issue for both parties. Therefore, due to its long range, low price, strong lethality, and the advantages of ignoring material defense, this kind of radiation cannon has become a sharp weapon for both sides to kill and injure the enemy's life units.
Red or blue beams of light flickered in the dark space, and millions of degrees of plasma beams, bound by the electromagnetic force field, swept across millions of kilometers of space, as if being waved by the gods of war, destroying one space fighter after another, or small assault ships.
In the face of such high temperatures, these space battleships with super energy defense capabilities were sliced to pieces by this blazing plasma beam.
Not only that, but both sides will also throw physical ammunition at each other. These bombs are all propelled by light-speed engines, otherwise millions of kilometers or even tens of millions of kilometers away, when the physical bombs fly over, they don't know the year of the monkey.
There is no sound in the universe, only countless quantum entanglement signals are constantly transmitted.
If it weren't for the constant narration in the control room telling these things, Luo Feng would feel like he was in a silent movie.
But even that was terrifying.
Because he has been watching for so long, he has not seen a single captive. Is it because neither side wants to take prisoners? Or is it because of the brutality of the space war between the two sides, there can be no prisoners at all?
Luo Feng didn't know how to answer this question.
Just silently watching this civil war of civilization that took place many years ago, in a distant and unknown place.
The second full-scale civil war in Shaqbar lasted for more than a thousand years. All kinds of weapons have been exhausted, and after this war, the already small water resources have been almost depleted,
On all the discovered resource planets, a large number of unmanned bases have been built, constantly obtaining resources from space, and even material manufacturing centers have been established in space.
Over time, both sides were exhausted. Everything that could be reached around Shaqbal was turned over, and entire planets were hollowed out. The universe is littered with debris that is constantly moving with gravity.
A garbage patch with a thickness of more than 100,000 kilometers has been directly formed around the planet Shakbal, and large and small metal garbage is moving at high speed in orbit at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per second. From time to time, some space junk falls from the ground, smashing large craters into the ground.
And inside the planet, after such a long war, the resources have been exhausted, and the people have run out of money. Even the climatic conditions were already unbearable.
The planet that used to have abundant rainfall has not rained for more than 100 years because of this war! The earth is cracked, the grass is yellow, and the unprecedented ****** has lasted for decades.
In the process, the number of Shakbals has been rapidly reduced, from the initial number of 100 billion, to a full 30%, and the vast majority of them have died due to famine or environmental degradation. The progress of civilization has been cut off in the past 20 years, and there has even been a serious regression.
At this time, the high-level Shakbar finally responded: I can't stay here, I must leave!
