Chapter 233: Douglas

In the process of the development of civilization, the Ian people had many differences because of their ideas and beliefs, and gradually formed two major factions. Use the classification of the earth to distinguish between peace-loving doves and war-advocating hawks.

The idea of the doves is to develop peacefully and get rich in business, and this philosophy led to the birth of the cosmic merchants. And the hawks' idea is that war and plunder is the fastest way to develop, to destroy the enemy, plunder their civilization, and to conquer by force.

The two ideas did not blend with each other, and in the end war inevitably broke out, and the doves won the final victory because of the existence of Adicia, and the hawks were banished and wandered in the galaxy ever since.

"These exiled Ians have embraced the Greatship Cannonism, and the ships of Ferrore's people are all commercial and war ships, but the Dark Ian are all warships. However, Dark Ian was banished, they were not as profitable as the Cosmic Traders, they lived a hard life, and I heard that they encountered a strong enemy in a plunder, and lost a lot of manpower, and there is no news of them in the universe. But according to you, instead of disappearing, these Dark Ians have grown? ”

Zack No. 2 was a little surprised, because it had been a long time since there had been any news of the Dark Ians, at least during the period when he dominated the River System, the Dark Ians had never appeared, and the news about them was all obtained by Zack in the memories of those devouring souls.

When they first broke away from the Ians, the Dark Ians were only a third-level civilization. 10,000 stellar-level Star Destroyers, this is no longer the strength that a third-level civilization can get, at least a fourth-level civilization. And to achieve a heavy breakthrough level in a certain area, at least faster-than-light shells. It's a technology that many fifth-level civilizations can't have.

It's not that the technical level of faster-than-light shells exceeds level five, but after reaching level three. Most civilizations will abandon material weapons in favor of energy weapons.

Because first, the speed of energy weapons is fast, most energy weapons are constant speed of light, and tachyon weapons can even break through the speed of light, while material weapons want to achieve this speed, there are too many technical problems to solve, and there is even a gap that cannot be crossed, so it is basically after the third level. Most civilizations have abandoned material weapons, and even if they do, they will only retain strategic weapons such as antimatter annihilation bombs.

Second, it is easy to convert energy into each other, but there are different types of material weapons, and even the same artillery shells have differences in caliber, which causes huge pressure on logistics and has room for physical shells. It is more practical to pack a few more energy blocks.

Third, energy weapons are easy to increase their power, 10,000 special one-shot lasers, and 100,000 special one-shot lasers. The power varies greatly, but the difficulty of casting is almost the same.

In addition to this, there are also things such as miniaturization. Easy maintenance and other advantages, leading to the vast majority of third-level civilizations. They have all abandoned material weapons one after another and turned to the arms of energy weapons. No one has studied. The development of material weapons can only stagnate.

However, the material weapon has an advantage that energy weapons cannot replace, and that is that its mass decay is almost zero.

When an energy weapon shoots out a few light-splitting light, it is basically attenuated, and no matter how powerful the energy weapon is, it is the limit of shooting a few light-years. But a material weapon can fly forever without hitting its target or encountering obstacles.

Theoretically, as long as the material weapon fired can reach the speed at which it can break free from the gravitational pull of a river system, it can shoot from one river system to another. That's a distance of millions of light years, and even a fifth-level civilization can't do it lightly, but an electromagnetic cannonball can do it lightly, although it may take millions of years.

Of course, this is only a theory, and it is impossible for an ordinary electromagnetic cannon to reach the speed of the gravitational pull of the struggling river system.

However, crystal cannonballs are absolutely fine, and in this case, after the crystal cannonballs are fired, they will continue to accelerate. The long distances between rivers provide a huge amount of room for acceleration, and by the time the cannonball reaches another river system, the speed can reach a very frightening level.

Theoretically, as long as the computing power is sufficient, the crystal shell can lightly shoot at a fixed target a few light-years or even hundreds of light-years away. At close range, even semi-stationary targets such as large warships and planetary fortresses can be hit.

"You say that 10,000 Star Destroyers form such an array to launch a barrage, what do you want to do?" No. 2 Zach asked with some confusion.

Crystal shells with a length of 500 meters and a diameter of 100 meters, each of which is worth a lot of money, a few rounds can explode a star, and what do you want to do when 10,000 rounds are launched at the same time? Is there any target that can afford such a shot?

Faster-than-light shells are very stealthy, because beyond the speed of light, they can't be captured by detection waves that only have the speed of light, and you can't see their presence with the naked eye, and you may not notice that a shell is coming at you until they hit you.

Zhang Qifan tilted his head and said, "Are there any other valuable goals here besides us?" ”

……

In the Dark Ian fleet, a warship that was indistinguishable from other Star Destroyers, a humanoid creature with green skin and pointed ears that looked exactly like Ferror was sitting on a bench full of mechanical style, his eyes occasionally resting on the sight on his right-hand side, and then looking up at the instrument panel from time to time.

The entire bridge is full of cold and rugged mechanical style, and there are bare circuit boards, threads, rivets, nuts, etc., which makes it impossible to believe that this is the interior of a Star Destroyer.

The entire fleet, the bridges of all Star Destroyers are like this, almost the same, full of homogeneous trends in mechanized mass production. The only difference was that behind the chair of the Dark Ian, there was a half-human-tall transparent crystal, and in the crystal, a white light changed rhythmically.

This is the flagship of the entire Ian fleet, and the Ian on the seat is also the leader of the Dark Aens - Douglas? Nick.

Like Ferrore's airship, Douglas's battleship also has a smart AI, and at this moment, this smart AI is residing in the crystal behind the seat, calculating something, and a calm, professional, and accurate voice rings in the cabin from time to time.

"According to the calculation, there are sixteen energy weak points in the target area, and the second target point: the x-axis is deflected by 3455, the y-axis is deflected by 7890, and the z-axis remains unchanged."

As soon as the voice of the intelligent AI fell, Douglas leaned into a loud intercom on the dashboard and shouted in a huge voice that did not match his body size: "All ready, one salvo, information linkage, ready." ”

With Douglas's voice, the rows of indicators on the instrument panel that indicate that his companions are ready are lit up one after another.

When all the lights were on, Dauslas roared, "Fire!" Then the information-linked trigger on the joystick was pulled. The hull of the ship suddenly shook, and a barrage of crystal cannonballs shot flat towards the second weak point of energy in the endless sea of fire at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
