Chapter 200: Knowledge is power, wisdom is a weapon
Super Electromagnetic Orbital Star Destroyer.
A picture quickly appeared in my mind.
A huge space battleship with no end in sight revealed a black cannon muzzle, and then a little orange light gradually lit up in the muzzle, and after a long time of charging, a cannonball full of terrifying kinetic energy flew out at sub-light speed.
According to the standard mothership of the Galactic Republic, this superweapon first requires a medium-sized hydrogen fusion reactor to provide energy, and the wartime recharge time is at least sixty seconds.
It's called the Super Electromagnetic Orbital Star Destroyer, of course, although the name is this, it's definitely impossible to bombard the planet like those sci-fi movies or something.
That's an exaggeration!
The initial launch speed of this super electromagnetic orbital star destroyer cannon can theoretically reach at least more than 10,000 kilometers per second, in other words, the initial velocity of this shell has reached a level close to one-fiftieth of the speed of light that shocks earthlings!
Due to the limitation of energy, although the launch is only about 120 grams of supermagnetic metal balls, but according to the law of mass and energy, the kinetic energy of this metal ball is simply greater than the imagination of the weapon system, although it is unlikely to bombard the planet with one cannon, but some satellite fragments or something, a cannon tear into fragments, this is absolutely possible, so the name of the Star Destroyer Cannon is exaggerated, but it is not an exaggeration in the pure sense.
In fact, this cannon cannot be manufactured at all with the current level of technology of the earth civilization, but now it is not the earth civilization to be built, but the interstellar civilization.
They just lack engineers, their materials, their energy, to the point where they can make a super-electromagnetic orbital star destroyer cannon.
Yi Xiaochuan's expression remained unchanged: "If I'm not mistaken, the super weapon of the super electromagnetic orbital star destroyer cannon should be a forbidden weapon of the Republic! If the army of the Republic finds out that I am building this thing, they will execute me on the spot." β
The skeleton face sneered and sneered, "Republic? hehe...... The republic has long been corrupted, and sooner or later it will collapse. The chaos is coming, and I can't rest assured that I don't have some cosmic-level weapons. You have great scientific attainments, and if you want to get ahead, you must pledge allegiance to Jabba the Hutt, and you will be rewarded with untold wealth, women, and power...... Instead of shrinking the rest of your life into this desert......"
The decay of the republic is no secret, and it can be judged by some information.
Twenty-five thousand years ago, the Galactic Republic was born with the signing of the Galactic Constitution in Coruscant.
While history often portrays the Republic as an idyllic utopia, a little unbiased examination reveals a myriad of galactic conflicts, such as the Hundred Years of Darkness, the Great Robot Revolt, and the Vulta Catastrophe.
As the republic grew, so did many government bureaucrats and parliamentarians. Thousands of years of entrenched bureaucracy have vetoed the possibility of any flexible government agency. In addition, partisan politics and the abuse of power for personal gain have hampered the effective functioning of the Republic.
Nearing oneβs end.
These four words are enough to describe the current situation of this vast interstellar republic.
And this, this is what Xiao Yi is looking forward to, chaos can be suitable for stowaways like him.
"Are you trying to convince me on Jabba's behalf?"
Otogawa said tentatively, if it is, then it is very likely that Jabba is on Tatooine, even if it is no longer in this star system, otherwise it will be impossible to transmit his information to the depths of the universe in just ten days.
The universe is so big that even if there is a curvature navigation technology that can fly tens or hundreds of times faster than light, it will take a long, long time to reach the next civilized planet.
According to the information gathered by Eva, Jabba the Hutt is an abominable bandit and the leader of a crime syndicate known throughout the starfield.
No one knows where his base camp is.
After several attempts to exterminate the Republic, he returned to nothing, and later his business grew bigger and bigger, and he laundered himself through bribery.
But his bloody battleship could not be washed away.
His business included slave trafficking, arms smuggling, spice smuggling, extortion, and many other criminal activities that brought him huge profits.
"Jabba needs a genius like you!"
Skull Face didn't admit it directly, then pointed to the mercenary with a big gun outside, and said gloomily: "If you can't use it for him, he will destroy you...... This is Lord Jaba's land, and you can't escape!"
"Oh, okay!" Xiao Yi pretended to be helpless and breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Super Electromagnetic Orbital Star Destroyer Cannon, this is not an easy task, I promised to design it for you, but you need to give me time and resources, and I haven't got this thing, I need to experiment and learn, if you get the best drawings, even if you can't get the drawings, give me a scrapped Super Electromagnetic Orbital Star Destroyer Cannon, I know Jabba has it." Also, the construction materials and equipment, the garbage in Tatooine is useless, do you need me to make a list for you?"
"What do you need?" In fact, don't look at this Jiwen man casually is building a super electromagnetic orbital star destroyer cannon, in fact, he doesn't understand anything, he only knows the terrifying power of this thing.
As for how terrifying it is, it is probably enough to directly bombard some island countries and peninsula countries on the earth in just a few minutes.
Comparable to nuclear weapons.
As for why we didn't develop nuclear bombs, wars in space, nuclear bombs are really not useful.
In a space war, the nuclear bomb is definitely a weapon with low efficiency, and a nuclear explosion in a vacuum environment does not produce an impact, and the light pressure produced is insignificant, so it cannot cause the mechanical blow produced when it explodes in the atmosphere; all its energy is released in the form of radiation and electromagnetic pulse, and for any civilization capable of space flight, the spacecraft's anti-radiation and electromagnetic shielding technology can withstand even a stellar storm, and the radiation of this nuclear weapon is really a drizzle.
The only thing that works is to hit the target directly.
That's another story, where heat will play a decisive role, and there is a high chance that the target will be melted or even vaporized.
But it is too difficult to hit a spaceship with a nuclear bomb, and a simple interceptor weapon can easily do it.
As a matter of fact, in terms of mechanical strikes, nuclear bombs are inferior to kinetic weapons, inferior to particle beam weapons in terms of radiation intensity, and even inferior to gamma-ray lasers in terms of thermal destruction.
And pollution.
Therefore, in addition to being a nuclear energy source, nuclear bombs have long been eliminated in this interstellar civilization.
"The Super Electromagnetic Orbital Star Destroyer Cannon is not bad against the planet, but if it is an air battle, the ion cannon is more powerful, and it happens to be designed together, do you want it? However, this requires more investment...... Of course, no amount of investment is worth it. β
Because ion cannons and other directed energy weapons suffer significant energy losses in the atmosphere, they are only used in wars in the context of space.
This type of weapon is mostly called space-based directed energy weapons.
"Goo!"
The sound of swallowing saliva appeared in the empty abandoned ship.
"Can you do it? No, you have to do it......
Hehe...... Sure enough, civilization is only in the hands of a few, and knowledge is always the greatest wealth or strength......
Xiao Yi smiled lightly in his heart, you asked me to build a super weapon, it is really a meat bun...... Phew, let me pick up the bargain!
There is a long list, the main ones of which are basic materials and ultra-high-performance machines.
If you build an ordinary railgun, it is naturally not so troublesome, but the super-electromagnetic orbital star destroyer cannon is different.
In terms of scientific and technological content, the super-electromagnetic orbital star destroyer cannon is almost electromagnetic technology, that is, the peak of the key technology of the fourth industrial revolution, and the top weapon force that super-electromagnetic technology can achieve.
"Lord Jabba is not short of money, if it weren't for the technological blockade of us by the Republic and those alliances, and not even sell us space-based weapons...... Remember, this is Jabba-sama's territory, and you're going to get everything you want...... On the contrary, you will lose everything! You are a smart person who knows how to choose!"
"I'm a science fan, give me materials, give me equipment, it's enough, happy to work with!"
Watching Jiwen people lead a group of mercenaries away, Yi Xiaochuan sneered, and his heart was a little refreshed.
At this time, Wotu clapped his little wings and walked over, rubbing his hands excitedly and greedily: "How is ......it?
"Wotu, you've got me in big trouble...... Jabba the Hutt asked me to serve him......"
"Jabba?!"
Wotu's tone immediately rose by several decibels, and he immediately said stupidly: "This is really none of my business, you be careful that tyrant, I'll go first...... Bye-bye!"
Watching the greedy Wotu leave without looking back, Yi Xiaochuan was silent, but he kept calculating in his heart.
"Stumped, that interstellar bandit, the earth emperor of this star field, built his lair in this-free Tatooin sand sea......?
"It's really unexpected!hehe, it's so good......"
"Coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes!"
"It's worth planning......"
"Hehehe!"
......
Tatooine, the palace of Jaba the Hett!
A luxurious palace in the desert that has been eroded by wind and sand.
Humanity has set the rules of the galaxy, so Jabba feels morally obligated to deny it altogether.
He would have taught his son, Rota, to do the same.
"I can tell you!" he said, waving his short arm slightly as he walked into the golden Audience Room, "Someday, everything here will be yours." No, I wish you could have more. Much more than that. β
He picked up a string of intricately carved and priceless emerald beads and shook it before his son's eyes, the gems glittering in the light, revealing a delicate inner vein.
The courtiers gathered around and watched in silence while a soloist plucked a soothing tune on Jayron's strings.
Jabba loves to admire the talented, valuable, and loyal creatures he collects.
"Look, isn't it cute? Isn't it valuable?"
Rota giggled, a string of tiny pearl-like bubbles of saliva popped, and he grabbed the necklace and looked closer at it, as if estimating how many carats it had. Then a big smile bloomed on his face, and he shook the emerald eagerly as if he were shaking a rattle.
"The more you have, the stronger you are. β
Jabba waited until Rota got tired of her makeshift toy and tossed it aside.
The alien race Nicoto guard stepped forward and took the jewel from Jabba.
"Our bodies are sluggish, little pumpkins, so our minds must be quick. Before you can inherit my empire, you need to learn all these lessons. β
Rota stared at him in bewilderment.
He could not yet comprehend his traditions.
It doesn't matter, Jabba will repeat this lesson every day anyway until Rota is old enough to understand that the only way to have a piece of heaven in a galaxy dominated by fast-moving, showy, arrogant bipeds is to play tricks on them with their own games, to get ahead of them β before everyone else β to grab riches, and hire faster, deadlier creatures to help you hold on to it.
As a hulking Hutt, Jabba resembles a legless slug covered in mud. His monotonous face had a large, saliva-dripping, toothless mouth, and two orange reptilian eyes gazing greedily around him from his massive head.
Their size is more suitable for Vaal, the long-abandoned home planet, the quagmire-like home planet.
There, their size and size were no obstacle until they began to compete with humanoid bipeds.
But wisdom is always stronger than the flesh!
