To use a metaphor, this is somewhat akin to "heat the bullet and then shoot it out".

A red-hot bullet undoubtedly has a higher energy and therefore greater lethality. Because in addition to impact, it can also burn the target by high temperatures.

Energy weapons use special means to make the constituent particles of the projectile in an excited state to have a higher energy, which is essentially the same as a red-hot bullet. Of course, the increase in lethality, the technical difficulty and technical content are very different.

At this moment, the prototype of the electromagnetic energy cannon made by Chen Yue was quietly suspended in space.

Like the original over-range communicator, the original electromagnetic energy cannon was also huge. It is the size of a spaceship, more than 60 meters long, and has a total mass of several thousand tons. To support its operation, Chen Yue even built a small nuclear fusion power station inside it.

At this moment, with Chen Yue's order, the nuclear fusion power station was activated, and the huge amount of electricity was continuously poured into the barrel of the electromagnetic gun.

In the electromagnetic accelerator channel, there is another set of devices that have started to work together, which Chen Yue named "exciter". Under its effect, the tiny, only one gram in mass, the original light gray projectile gradually began to glow.

At first it was red, then yellow, then white, and eventually, it became bright blue.

It's like a little star, it's brilliant and dazzling.

It is already in an excited state and has a very strong energy. At the same time, this state is relatively stable. As long as it is in a vacuum and does not come into contact with the rest of the matter, it can remain in this state for more than ten hours until its energy is exhausted in the form of thermal radiation.

But once there is a violent impact, all the energy contained in it will explode in an instant, in addition to the power of kinetic impact, the power released by the excited state explosion alone can exceed the explosion of 100 kilograms of conventional explosives.

In particular, it still has a total mass of only one gram and can be accelerated to extremely high speeds by an electromagnetic accelerator, or electromagnetic gun.

"Activate!"

Chen Yue gave an order, and the huge amount of electricity was instantly converted into kinetic energy, and through the electromagnetic coil, this small projectile moved at an extremely high speed. At the time of final discharge, it even reaches speeds of thousands of kilometers per second.

Just two seconds later, it hit an abandoned warship that was serving as a target ship two thousand kilometers away.

In an instant, a burst of intense white light erupted from the battleship that was hit, and its momentum was like several tons of explosives exploding together. When the smoke cleared, the scientific research ship next to it quickly stepped forward, so Chen Yue saw that the hard and heavy armor of the target ship was torn open by this projectile with a mass of only one gram, a large hole with a diameter of half a meter.

"Is this the power of the electromagnetic energy cannon?"

Chen Yue secretly sighed: "Although the armor of this target ship is not advanced at the moment, it also adopts a variety of composite materials and a well-designed structure, which is tough enough...... But a small electromagnetic energy cannon projectile directly penetrates it. ”

If it is on the battlefield and there is such a big hole in the body, this spaceship will not be able to say that it will lose its combat effectiveness, but at least it will be seriously injured.

In particular, this kind of damage, accompanied by the splash of ship debris, is almost impossible for the members of the interior to escape. If you are lucky, you can even kill all the internal members with a single shell.

It's just a projectile. And, in Chen Yue's planning for the future interstellar battlefield, electromagnetic energy cannons exist as conventional weapons.

That is to say, the positioning of the electromagnetic energy cannon is consistent with the positioning of the electromagnetic cannon in the past, and it is all through an extremely high number - if one of the ten thousand shells hits the target, it is considered lucky, and on average, one second, the smallest Stardust-class battleship can not shoot a thousand projectiles to be considered disabled.

Such a huge number and such a huge power of a single projectile made Chen Yue secretly frightened.

At this moment, he thoroughly realized the huge gap in combat power between different levels of civilization.

In the past, he even thought about the plan of defeating a third-level civilization fleet by defeating the seventh fleet of the Mosoti civilization in the same way that he was forced to come to the door in a desperate situation, such as being forced to the door by a third-level civilization.

What was the way to defeat Murdra in the first place?

Quantity. Far more than the number of enemies.

Rely on the number to pile up the fleet of Mozhuo, then, can you rely on the number to pile up a fleet of a third-level civilization?

Chen Yue once had such extravagant hopes. But at this moment, when he developed a third-level civilization weapon, he completely realized how ridiculous his past self was.

This is a gap that cannot be filled by quantity.

Think about it, the enemy can seriously injure one of your own warships with just one energy cannon projectile, and your own warship is desperately attacking, but it can't even penetrate the enemy's defenses - you know, the battleships of the third-level civilization will also be equipped with energy shields, so, how can this battle be fought?

I am afraid that one enemy warship can fight against more than a thousand warships on our own.

"That kind of fight is bullying." Chen Yue sighed silently: "One party is open, and the other party relies on hand speed and operation alone, even if the operation is shown, it is impossible to be an opponent."

Fortunately, now that I have mastered the electromagnetic energy cannon technology, I can barely be regarded as a hanger......

The relevant technology of electromagnetic energy cannon must be studied as soon as possible, and it must be miniaturized and stabilized as soon as possible. Only in this way can I have the strength to fight against a third-level civilization. ”

At this moment, not only Chen Yue was secretly sighing. As a second-level civilization genius commander, Mo Zhuo was also stunned after seeing the power of the energy cannon with his own eyes.

"Mother...... When I was still in the Mosoti civilization, I still thought that if the Southern Star civilization was too ruthless, it would be a big deal to oppose the damn and lead troops straight to their home planet, even if it was a suicidal attack, they would have to pay the price. But now it seems, damn it, if you really want to do that, it's true that I killed myself, but they can't even shed a layer of skin. ”

On the other side, the dwarven Otto looked at his stunned old acquaintance Mo Zhuo and couldn't help but sneer.

"Murdrone, this is shocked? You have to know that our human civilization has only developed a prototype of an electromagnetic energy cannon. What is used by the Southern Star Civilization is a mature model. Frankly, the power of this prototype ...... Tsk, the gap is not a little big, but very big......"
