Chapter 125: Machine Gun
The maneuverability of a spaceship is of great importance in the interstellar battlefield. If a battleship can accelerate faster, slow down faster, and dodge more agilely, then it has an almost crushing advantage for the opponent.
In the era of Level 3 civilization, the power of the spaceship was stronger, but the overall mass of the spaceship was greatly reduced due to the appearance of the energy shield. Then, in the interstellar battlefield of this era, it will no longer be the performance of the spacecraft that restricts the maneuverability of the spacecraft, but the ...... The physical qualities of intelligent living beings.
Chen Yue could be sure that with the power of the spacecraft at that time, as well as the strength of the hull structure, it would be possible to easily achieve acceleration and deceleration of 200 meters per square second, or even 400 meters.
In other words, I was still stationary at this moment, and after a second I was able to accelerate to 400 meters per second. In the second second, it accelerated to 800 meters per second.
But...... This means up to 20 times or even 40 times the gravity of the Earth.
Specially trained humans, with the combination of anti-load suits and high-pressure masks, can temporarily withstand up to 9 times the gravity of the Earth.
This is the limit of the human body.
According to the data that Odo has in his possession, the Southern Star people can withstand up to 12 times the earth's gravity for a short period of time after using the special equipment developed by the third-level civilization technology.
After studying the bodies of the Three-Eyed People, Chen Yue believes that with the same equipment, they can withstand up to 13 times the gravity of the Earth for a short time. If humans use this equipment, they can also withstand about 13 times the gravity of the earth.
In other words, no matter how powerful the spacecraft is and how tough the spacecraft structure is, the maximum maneuverability can only be maintained at 120 to 130 meters per square second. And it can only be maintained for a short period of time.
Over time, or with greater mobility, the Three-Eyed or Dwarf will faint or even die.
But......
Chen Yue is different. Human civilizations are different.
The spaceships of human civilization are all directly controlled remotely by Chen Yue. They are all unmanned spacecraft, and when maneuvering, there is no need to consider the endurance of life forms at all. As long as the structure of the spaceship can hold up, as long as the spacecraft is powerful enough, Chen Yue can easily make maneuvers up to 20 times or even 40 times the gravity of the earth.
"It's an advantage that is unique to me. This advantage allows me to even crush the rest of the third-level civilizations under the premise that the gap in science and technology is not large. ”
Chen Yue's heart was full of excitement.
The information provided by Odo made it clear to him that the Southern Star civilization was also plagued by the fact that the soldiers' bodies could not withstand too high acceleration, and the ship's mobility could only be greatly limited.
The Southern Star civilization has also tried to develop unmanned remotely controlled spaceships, that is, with the support of over-distance communication, the spacecraft is piloted remotely, so that the warriors of the Southern Star civilization can also avoid bearing too high gravity.
But it's too restrictive. There are many things on the spaceship, which still need manpower to do, and remote control is too inconvenient. For example, the judgment and solution of internal problems in the spaceship, such as the decision on the battlefield.
As a result of various factors, unmanned remote control of the spacecraft still cannot replace the actual control of the fighters. It can only be used as an auxiliary means on the battlefield and cannot become mainstream.
But this problem does not exist for Chen Yue at all. Chen Yue's huge computing power allowed him to perfectly grasp every detail of the spaceship. Remote control or on-the-ground control, it makes no difference to him at all.
"The energy shield technology must be developed and mastered as soon as possible."
Chen Yue made up his mind.
Time flies. In experiment after experiment, in the three-eyed scientists' day after day, in hundreds of dedicated scientific research centers day and night experiments, tens of thousands of engineering problems involved in energy shield technology, as well as the manufacture of hundreds of thousands of parts, have been destroyed and broken one after another.
Eleven years after mastering the system of equations and specification analysis, the first prototype of the energy shield generator was finally built.
At this moment, after eleven years of iterative optimization, the volume of the ultra-long-range communication device has been reduced to the size of a car in the Earth era. The electromagnetic energy cannon has been reduced to the size of a room, barely making it possible to install it on a ship.
The size of this energy shroud generator is several times larger than the first-generation prototypes of the previous two.
It was built on the surface of the planet. On Europa, Chen Yue directly built a 100-meter-high edifice. The interior of the building is hollow, and there is nothing left except for the installation of this instrument.
In addition to this building, an even larger nuclear fusion power station was built to provide it with energy.
At this moment, it was finally time for the first experiment of this first prototype.
A helicopter roared and flew over the building from a distance. The next moment, with the infusion of a huge electric current and a low humming sound, a layer of pale blue light suddenly appeared around the building. With the appearance of the light mask, the surrounding air began to make a slight crackling sound, and small electric sparks came out from time to time.
That's because the energy shield is too high and the air is broken down by ionization.
Under Chen Yue's order, a machine gun of the second level of primary civilization bounced out of the belly of the helicopter.
That's right, it's a machine gun, not an electromagnetic gun.
The power of the machine gun can only be regarded as a younger brother compared to the electromagnetic cannon, and it is not worth mentioning at all.
The former can only reach speeds of a few hundred meters per second. The latter is a thousand times faster or even faster.
However, although this first energy shield generator is large enough, its power is pitifully low, and it is completely impossible to block the attack of electromagnetic cannon projectiles. Chen Yue could only build an old-fashioned machine gun and use machine gun bullets for experiments.
Between the roar of machine guns, a large number of bullets roared towards the building. Under the high-speed camera, the bullets had not yet touched the pale blue reticle, as if they had been blown by the wind, and tilted in the rest of the direction. There were some bullets with tricky angles, which were also deflected from orbit, but still flew towards the building.
At this time, under the extremely high energy, the bullet is directly vaporized and turned into a mass of plasma with extremely high temperature. After this, the force of the magnetic field became even stronger, and although it failed to completely deflect its orbit, it was reduced to a speed not much faster than a bird, and hit the building, only to burn its skin a little.
The machine guns roared for more than ten minutes, and the whole building was still unharmed.
The first energy shield generator experiment was a complete success.
At this moment, the dwarves such as Mo Zhuo, Wen Juan, and Otto who watched the whole experiment all stood up and gave warm applause.
