The so-called annihilation cannon is actually a type of energy cannon, but it is very different from the energy cannon. The principle of the shaped cannon is to use the energy shock wave to physically destroy the target structure, making it completely lose the ability to fight, while the annihilation cannon uses the energy cluster to bombard the space where the target is located, causing space shock or even space shattering, so as to cause devastating weapons to the target in this space area. Strictly speaking, the Annihilation Cannon should actually be regarded as a space weapon! This weapon can be described as the product of the development of energy weapons to the extreme! It can completely annihilate everything in the trajectory of the ballistics! The Shaped Cannon can decompose matter back into an ionic state, but the Annihilation Cannon can make all matter return to nothingness!

Of course, in order for the Annihilation Cannon to reach such power, it needs to consume an unimaginable amount of energy, which is the most important reason why the Atlanteans have mastered such a weapon but still cannot quickly defeat the alien race. Although Eden has very rich source energy resources, after all, it needs to support the daily consumption of more than a billion people, and it must keep enough reserves. Otherwise, even if it defeats the invasion of the alien race, it will also face a huge internal crisis, and may even break out again The catastrophic war that once occurred on the earth!

It was precisely based on this that although Lin Feng was extremely interested in the development of the annihilation cannon, he did not dare to equip the troops on a large scale. In terms of the source energy currently stored by the fleet, it can actually be said to be very strong, but the fleet has too many fields that need to use source energy. The testing of source energy weapons, the smelting of new materials, the engine power of starships and even battleships, the improvement of the physique of soldiers, and the cultivation of new biological species...... It can be said that the source energy resources have become an indispensable and important strategic resource for the future development of the fleet. Judging from the current situation, about one-tenth of the source energy stored in Aden has been developed! And according to Xiao Jin's estimate. These source energy is only enough for the fleet to support a year of high-intensity war!

So now Lin Feng has completely become a Grande-style character. All day long, I have been calculating how much source energy reserves have been added today and how much can be developed tomorrow. As for Chen Dali, he asked for a little bit of source energy to be allocated for testing. He was distressed, and scolded Chen Dali for being a loser, and he didn't care at all about the meager family wealth he had so hard accumulated.

Regarding Lin Feng's complaints, Chen Dali just laughed. Fortunately, this experiment was only a small annihilation cannon, and it didn't consume too much source energy, otherwise, it would be strange not to be scolded by Lin Feng!

……

Ephemeris 1020 is an extremely ordinary day, April 11.

On this day, the USS Atlantis, which had been moored to Aden for four years, started its main engine again. It will re-enter space. Conduct a significant weapons test.

Originally, this test did not need to use space power of the level of Starship, after all, it would consume too much energy to start once. But Xiaojin's warning played a key role in the middle. He just told Lin Feng that even if this annihilation cannon was only the smallest model, its power was quite huge, and it was best to test it in the airspace far away from Aden, so as not to cause unpredictable effects on Aden.

In view of the fact that none of the fleet's existing medium-sized ships could meet Xiao Jin's requirements, Lin Feng had no choice but to let the Atlantis be the main platform for this test mission. It will make a short voyage, at the outermost point of Proxima Centauri. An annihilation cannon attack was carried out on a super-large meteorite with a diameter of about 1.5 kilometers to test whether its power had reached the most basic technical parameters.

The Atlantis is even thicker with a new layer of high-strength alloy armor on its hull, and with this layer of armor, it can ignore most threats in space. This ensures the safety of all test participants.

After nearly ten hours of full sailing, the Atlantis finally arrived at the destination of the trial. It's on the edge of Proxima Centauri, and the gravitational pull of the three stars is negligible.

In front of the starship. 10 million kilometers away, a meteorite is flying forward at a fixed speed according to its orbit that has been running for hundreds of millions of years. It was covered with potholes. That's evidence left behind by countless impacts. And after all these big and small impacts, it can still exist. Illustrate how hard the material that makes it is composed!

Inside the Atlantis starship, central control room.

Lin Feng, Helen, Chen Dali, Schneider and other generals were standing solemnly in front of a large holographic display. Through the monitoring equipment, the whole picture and the orbit of the meteorite were displayed in front of people without mistake.

For this test, Lin Feng only came to observe as the commander of the fleet. Therefore, the leading power of the test was handed over to Minister Chen Dali of the Equipment Department.

"Attention to all test units, attention to all test units, now immediately start the test equipment and check whether it is in good condition!" It was also the first time for Chen Dali to preside over such an important action, and while he was proud, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, and even the voice of the order trembled slightly.

"The ultra-remote monitor is working fine! Real-time all-round monitoring is possible! ”

"The starship engine is running normally! You can escape at full speed! ”

"The starship life support system is normal! The safety of staff officers can be guaranteed! ”

"The energy replenishment system is normal! Energy can be replenished! ”

"All members of the Starship Damage Management Team are on standby! Always ready to go! ”

……

After all the units replied to the preparations, Chen Dali said in a deep voice: "Now enter the ten-minute countdown to the test preparation!" ”

"Start charging the test gear!"

"Yes! Charge begins! "In the weapon launch compartment, a test participant held the handle of the charging device tightly and slowly pushed it upward.

"Charge 20%...... Charge 30%...... Charge 50%...... Charge 80%...... Charge 100%. The test equipment has been fully charged! Ten minutes later, the charged personnel reported loudly.

"The monitoring department immediately locked on the test target! The monitoring department immediately locks in the test target! ”

"Yes! The target is locked! The target is locked! ”

"Attention all units! Attention all units! Now it's time for the 10-second countdown to launch! ”

The weapon operator's face turned grim, and his expression became unusually focused.

Chen Dali slowly but very firmly reported a series of numbers: "Ten ...... Nine...... Eight...... Seven...... Six...... Five...... Four...... Three...... Two...... Launch! ”

The weapon operator's right thumb is lightly pressed on the launch button! I felt that the starship let out an imperceptible vibration, and then it became calm!

"The starship immediately retreated at full speed! The starship immediately retreats at full speed! Get out of the test area! Get out of the test area! Chen Dali's voice became urgent.

"The monitoring department is fully engaged in monitoring and capturing the trajectory of the meteorite! The monitoring department is fully engaged in monitoring and capturing the trajectory of the meteorite! "Chen Dali issued a second order!

On the monitoring screen, a space shock wave that is imperceptible to the naked eye starts in front of the starship and shoots towards the meteorite at an unimaginable speed!

This space shock wave was extremely subtle, its diameter was only two or three centimeters, but it brought a shocking scene that everyone would never forget, so that everyone forgot to cheer for the success of the experiment! (To be continued......)
