Spear galaxy, twin blue giants Lagrange L4, Mothership of Dawn.

The Dawn Mothership's outstretched rotors, like six huge wings, shielded the heat and intense radiation of the twin blue giants. Like an angel rushing towards the stars, the Mothership of Dawn guards a small shadow area beneath the blue giant that is close at hand.

In this safe zone, shrouded in the light of a blue giant, a tiny transit center is gradually forming throughout the vast galaxy, where thousands of geth ships now travel every day.

In addition to geth troop carriers, which serve as "working shuttles", there are cargo ships that carry minerals, tugboats that tow asteroids, and some warships that are purely "passing by".

The actual scope of Geth's activities is no longer limited to the back of the Perseus Veil. Long before the Citadel Council knew it, the geth had quietly extended its tentacles out of Perseus and established a presence in many of the fringe galaxies, both the "Ancient Machine" and the "Self-Development" faction.

The geth do not need food or freeze during the voyage, and most of the time they simply choose to "turn off". Therefore, the geth's exploration of new galaxies does not rely entirely on Mass Effect repeaters, and it has no effect on them after a few years of sailing anyway. But now that they have the Mothership, they can really help them travel quickly - just report a coordinate, and the Dawn will throw the battleship over - the geth is very resistant to falls anyway, and it doesn't matter if it breaks.

Recently, however, this burgeoning "transit center" has come to a complete standstill.

Because the blue giant star directly above the Dawn mothership is now becoming very violent, constantly throwing a large number of light and ion storms outward! Even if the operation center is hidden in the shadow of the Dawn, it will be difficult to resist the invasion of radiation! Even the Mothership Dawn itself had to take a break from the edge, and she left L4 completely. Temporarily moored in a distant shipping lane.

However, the Dawn itself can only be blamed for this - just four days ago, the Dawn test-fired the main cannon "Doomsday Blade" at the blue giant overhead! - The cannon pierced the side of the O63-class blue giant and made a perfect cut along the 5.5 million kilometer diameter plane! The main cannon "Doomsday Blade" theoretically "splits" the blue giant into 1:7 equal parts!

This rash shelling. It has created one of the most powerful man-made natural disasters in human history!

After that, the blue giant star erupted wildly, and the astronomical brightness instantly increased by two absolute magnitudes! It erupts millions of kilometers of ionization storms. It directly paralyzed the network of buoys in more than 20 nearby star fields......

When the main gun type was chosen for the Dawn, the Dawn Regiment and the main tech leaders were involved in the discussion. At that time, the second choice could be described as a variety of - lasers, ions, neutrons, cations, high-energy particles...... As long as you can think of it, it's on the list!

But on the first choice - everyone put the Mass Effect Cannon first. Cause? Of course, it's because of the black technology of Element Zero!

Everyone knows that when the energy unit is fixed, the lethality of a live weapon is far greater than that of an energy weapon.

Sniper rifle cartridges, loaded with 3 grams of ammunition, can penetrate 5mm steel plates at a distance of 500 meters; But with all the energy generated by the combustion of 3 grams of ammunition, even with a full set of the latest laser generators, the loss of one qiē energy conversion is minimized - it is still impossible to burn even a small black stain on a steel plate 5 meters away!

That's the difference between the two.

It's just when energy is no longer the biggest bottleneck. The advantages of various high-powered energy weapons are revealed - such as low force, high accuracy, good directivity, etc. - none of which are related to lethality! Because one thing that everyone knows is that if you replace the same energy with an electromagnetic cannon, you can still completely destroy the energy weapon...... But the bigger you build, the more problems you have, and in the end it becomes completely unrealizable!

Of course, energy weapons still have other advantages, which we call secondary effects. For example, positive electrons can break down matter, neutron beams can create EMP explosions, and so on......

But the USS Dawn now has a Mass Effect core. That means that the lethality of the electromagnetic railgun can be amplified thousands of times! Then the superiority of the mothership in terms of physical ammunition will be enough to magnify to an incomparable Cheng dù!

It was based on this idea that everyone supported the Mass Effect Cannon in the first place. But the specific choice is on. Lu Yuan first rejected the idea of building an ultra-long railgun. In terms of the idea of the mass effect cannon, Lu Yuan thought that the reaper's idea was the most advanced.

Although Lu Yuan has not captured a Reaper battleship as a reference for the time being, he knows the principle of the Reaper's main gun - the Reaper has completely abandoned the idea of linear acceleration of the electromagnetic track - their main gun can be called a "magnetohydrodynamic mass effect cannon".

The simple principle is to use a melted uranium-tungsten alloy as ammunition. The alloy solution goes around the battleship's mass effect core and accelerates the spiral curve! When the flight speed around the core reaches its limit, the Reaper opens a passage to the core, allowing the accelerated metal solution to shoot at the target at an exit velocity of more than a quarter of the speed of light! With the power of this main gun, it can easily penetrate the shield of any dreadnought!

When carefully analyzing the power of such ammunition. Able to find -

First of all, the uranium-tungsten alloy metal melt is fired at the time of being launched. It produces a sudden condensation, which greatly increases the kinetic lethality of the ammunition. And also magnetized metal fluid ammunition. In the process of moving close to the speed of light, a large amount of electromagnetic energy and metal particles are accumulated! The ultimate lethality of this guide is multi-layered, and even the most powerful kinetic barriers can only defend against a portion of it.

Secondly, when firing, about 30kg of uranium-tungsten alloy metal melt will be stretched into an extremely fine linear trajectory. Outwardly, each shot looks like a wielding sword with flames burning on its blade. The shot seems to first stab the sword at the target with / force, and then slash horizontally. In addition to piercing, linear ammunition can also cause effects such as horizontal cutting and slashing.

The linear impact surface makes the kinetic energy barrier impossible to deflection.

(Therefore, we often see the scene of the Star Alliance's warships being cut in two by the opponent's main guns.) ）

The Reaper's main cannon is so powerful that the entire galaxy is almost unmatched! However, in terms of technical content, it seems that it is not as good as the miniaturized main gun made by combining Reaper and Turui technology in the later period - the Senix Super Magnetic Fluid Cannon. This high-tech main gun is the one that really takes magnetofluid ammunition to the extreme!

However, the reason why the original main gun of the Reaper is so powerful is because the Overlord-level Reaper has a giant super-large Mass Effect core! It is estimated that the diameter is at least a few hundred meters in size! It is precisely because of this giant core that the Reaper is invincible. Moreover, the two-kilometer-long giant body of the "overlord" can land on the surface of the planet at will, also because of the role of the big core.

In this way, in terms of battleships alone, whoever has a greater mass effect core will have a stronger main gun!

So comparing the size of the Mass Effect core, can it be compared to the Mothership of Dawn? With a diameter of 18.7 km, this is the latest measured number jù! Based on such a core size and power, the Dawn's main gun simply deduced the estimated number jù can simply increase the exit speed of the molten alloy to 95% of the speed of light!

After Lu Yuan confirmed the type of main gun, he handed over all the work to Mu Xing and the real room of the Dawn - of course, professional things should be done by professionals. And scientific research things are usually like this, although the principle makes sense, but in order to make a prototype that can really be used, there are often thousands of difficulties to overcome! The final result is likely to be 108,000 miles away from the original design......

So Lu Yuan occasionally thought that the things designed by Mu Xing and the others should be quite crazy - but he definitely never thought that they could be so crazy!!

Perhaps it was the power of the "Divine Cannon" that reached the level of slicing the moon, which gave Mu Xing and them a great sense of achievement! So this time, they directly raised the imaginary shooting target by countless levels, and chose one of the most awesome celestial bodies in the galaxy - the blue giant!
