Chapter 757: Wave Weapon
PS: Thank you for your 500 starting coin reward support!
It can be said that through this cooperation between the Resistance Alliance and the Iron Battlestar, it is just a breakthrough in the industrial system, and its value is already immeasurable, reflected in the combat strength of the ships, the new warships produced by the Resistance Civilization, its cruising speed has broken through from the general speed of five or six times the speed of light to the stage of six or seven times the speed of light in one fell swoop, and some cutting-edge warships produced in small batches can even reach the level of eight times the speed of light.
Although there is still a considerable gap between this and the performance of the Earth Fleet's warships, it can be regarded as catching up with a considerable cut, at least when fighting against the Earth Fleet, if the ships that resist civilization need to use collision tactics, the number of warships that need to be used will be greatly reduced.
In view of the biggest shortcoming of the current Resistance Alliance, it is also the firepower deficiency of the Steel Battlestar itself, and then the Iron Battlestar also cooperated with the Resistance Alliance, and invested in a large number of supporting factory projects, combined with the original scientific and technological foundation of the Resistance Alliance, and planned a new production system for the processing and production of a superluminal energy strike weapon that once existed in the ancient cosmic civilization, and a micro-quantum fluctuation energy cannon。
This kind of weapon and the superluminal cannon on the Iron Battlestar and the faster-than-light cannon equipped by the Earth civilization are basically the same type of faster-than-light energy strike weapons developed based on the theory of space-time fluctuations, but compared with the mature faster-than-light long-range strike weapons equipped by the Earth civilization and the Iron Battlestar, there are great shortcomings in all aspects.
For example, the Iron Battlestar's superluminal cannon weapon, its conductive attack speed in space is thousands of times, and the effective killing range reaches the range of five or six light years.
Therefore, the Iron Battlestar can attack the enemy ship from a few light years away, and as long as it hits two cannons in a short time, the enemy battleship will be almost 100% destroyed, which is also the reason why the Earth Fleet will suffer heavy losses when fighting the Earth Fleet before. The Iron Battlestar's faster-than-light cannon is too sharp and terrifying, and Rao is the Earth Fleet is equipped with multiple layers of energy shields, and it is difficult to shake the Fire Strike of the Iron Battlestar head-on.
Because the Earth Fleet's hyperluminal cannon is a shipborne version of the weapon, the proportion of shrinkage in specifications is huge, the lethality is relatively insufficient, and the effective killing range is relatively small, but in terms of the conduction attack speed of the hyperluminal cannon, the ultralight cannon of the Earth Fleet is not inferior to the weapon of the Iron Battlestar, which shows that the two are still at a roughly equivalent level in terms of the grade and level of weapons.
Of course, the Iron Battlestar is inherited from the ancient cosmic-level scientific and technological civilization, and has a large number of cosmic civilization-level super technologies, but then again, the earth civilization is at least at the level of faster-than-light strike weapons, and it is not inferior to the Iron Battlestar。
However, the performance gap between this micro-quantum fluctuation energy cannon jointly developed and produced by Iron Battlestar and the Resistance Alliance is relatively large in all aspects.
The regular version of the Iron Battlestar's superluminal cannon has an effective killing radius of five or six light years, but this kind of micro-quantum fluctuation energy cannon developed and produced in cooperation with the Resistance Alliance has an effective killing radius of only half a light year, and its attack conduction speed is only 100 times the speed of light, which is more than ten times weaker than the superlight cannon of the earth civilization!
In addition to the short killing distance and slow attack speed, there are a lot of other miscellaneous disadvantages of this wave cannon, including high energy consumption, large size, low lethality, and low attack frequency.
In terms of the specifications of the superluminal battleship of the Resistance Alliance, a ship can be equipped with a fluctuating cannon at most, and it takes twelve hours to complete a charged attack, not to mention the low attack frequency of this weapon, but the lethality is still very limited, the kind of ordinary spaceship without multi-layer energy shield, it must at least accurately hit the enemy's ten cannons before it is possible to destroy the enemy ship.
Speaking of which, this weapon is relatively low-level, compared to the mature hyperluminal cannon, its performance is simply too inferior, and there are many shortcomings to the point that it is indescribable, so although the ancient civilization has the technical information of this weapon, it was once equipped with this kind of weapon, but after the technology of the superlight cannon matured in the later stage, this half-baked intermediate product was directly shelved by the ancient cosmic civilization, and the earth civilization simply passed this stage, and never started this kind of cheating attack weapon project.
To put it mildly, the tachyon cannon is at least a thousand times more powerful than this early product, and the practicality between the two is completely incomparable.
If it is possible, the Iron Battlestar is actually reluctant to launch such a pit product, in fact, in its database, there is also a production technology of the superlight gun, and there is not only one type of superlight gun that it can produce, according to different calibers, mature products It can come up with at least three different specifications.
It's a pity that even if all the technological production forces of the Resistance Alliance are concentrated, coupled with the Iron Battlestar's intervention, a large number of new factories will be built in a short period of time, it will still not be enough to meet the production standards of this mature version of the faster-than-light cannon, even the most basic one.
The gap in technology is too big, this is not a little bit of a gap, but the whole aspect, the gap in the entire scientific and technological system, want to make up for the shortcomings of the level of this scientific and technological system, steel battle star unless it is completed from the most basic level of various industrial standard units, from the measurement accuracy of time, the machining accuracy of machinery, the manufacture of various industrial machine tools, the mass production of chemical raw materials, With the overall improvement of industrial processing technology, it can be said that the basic level of all industrial fields must be forcibly raised one by one, and it will take at least a few hundred years to achieve the most basic industrial base level of producing a mature version of the superlight gun.
It's like trying to force an African country with a near-zero industrial base to produce F22 independently, and it's incredibly difficult. If you really want to make it a reality, you need to do far more than just building factories and recruiting workers to start work, that you have to start from building bridges and paving roads to build hydropower stations, involving technology, capital, economy, politics, military and other aspects of the problem, it is impossible to achieve it without spending hundreds of years, and even if it takes hundreds of years, it is difficult to say whether it can really be realized.
Even if Iron Battlestar fights for the risk of technology leakage, it will take hundreds of years to produce a full-fledged version of the tachyon cannon with the scrap wood of the Resistance Alliance. This is obviously unrealistic, with a delay of hundreds of years, the earth civilization has already come to the door and wiped out the Iron Battlestar and the Resistance Alliance hundreds of times!
Therefore, the Iron Warrior was only able to dig out the inferior product of the micro quantum fluctuation energy cannon at the bottom of the box from the database. Although there are a lot of problems with the performance of this weapon, the only good thing is that it is much less difficult to produce.
Even if it is the industrial technology level of the resistance alliance, jumping up can also reach the side of the production of this weapon, with the help of the steel battle star, providing some technical guidance, technological transformation, some high-precision industrial robots to participate in the production and manufacturing, and then building a large number of supporting processing plants, it is really at a very fast speed, this weapon has been produced, and after the preliminary weapon performance test, it has really reached the basic performance standard.
The only pity is that although this low-end version of the faster-than-light attack weapon can now be produced by the Resistance Alliance, the conditions are not very mature in all aspects, and the production capacity of this weapon is not only unstable, but also has a production capacity limit, and it is impossible to expand production without restrictions, and the only production base can achieve full power production capacity is already the extreme.
Some of the raw materials and components for the production of micro-quantum fluctuation energy cannons, although some of the cutting-edge laboratories of the Resistance Alliance can carry out a certain amount of artificial production, but the output is not stable and the yield rate is very low, which leads to the fact that the only faster-than-light weapon production base successfully established in the Resistance Alliance cannot produce at full capacity, and the operating rate is very low.
Moreover, the high-end processing machinery, industrial robots, etc. that Steel Battlestar can provide cannot be fully supplied, and Steel Battlestar can only supply this batch, because some of the equipment needed here is considered high-end goods even within Iron Battlestar, and the production capacity is quite limited.
Iron Battlestar is also in order to make the carrier ships it equipped with more powerful and able to play a greater role, so he ruthlessly took out such a batch of high-end equipment, and he didn't want any more.
This kind of situation together, led to the resistance alliance although it can produce some faster-than-light weapons, but the output has never been raised, has been hovering at a low level, either this raw material supply is a problem, or there is a shortage of that kind of components, Rao is resistance alliance to ensure production, do its best to solve all problems, a huge production base, but still can't even guarantee the production capacity of a thousand doors a day.
Although in the eyes of the Iron Warriors, this kind of production capacity is simply a shame, and these allies of the Resistance Alliance are simply out-and-out waste, but for all the forces of the Resistance Alliance, they are now able to produce faster-than-light attack weapons, and the fact alone is enough to surprise them to the point of madness.
You must know that even the three overlord civilizations of the meteorite star sea did not have the slightest production capacity of faster-than-light weapons, and in the nearly 1,000 years when the earth's civilization crisscrossed the starry sea and gradually established its dominance, the entire meteorite star-sea was only the only earth civilization, with the production and manufacturing capacity of faster-than-light weapons.
For the many civilizations and forces in the Meteorite Star Sea that have been hit by the asymmetrical firepower of the Earth civilization, a weapon that can compete with the Earth civilization and reach the level of superluminal attack is simply an artifact that they have been dreaming of, and it is a treasure that they have been looking forward to for countless years!
Now, through the cooperation with the Iron Battle Star, the Resistance Alliance has actually taken the crown of force in this meteorite star sea, which is undoubtedly a great news for all the forces and personnel of the Resistance Alliance, which is enough to shock countless local forces.
Although the Micro Quantum Fluctuation Energy Cannon is only a low-end faster-than-light attack weapon with unsatisfactory performance indicators, and it is even more difficult to compete with the Earth's Fleet's faster-than-light cannon, but for the Resistance Alliance, at least with this equipment, their warships have at least the means to compete with the Earth Fleet.
I think that when there was no such weapon, the fleet of the native civilization of the Meteorite Star Sea and the earth fleet were at war, it could only be said to be a one-sided massacre, the battleship could not beat the opponent, and the opponent could not outrun, and the loss of tens or millions of warships in a war was simply too commonplace, and after a war of the earth civilization, many times there was not even a battle damage of a warship, this kind of scene simply made the local civilization and forces feel desperate!
But now with this faster-than-light strike weapon, although its performance in all aspects is far inferior to the Earth Fleet, but this is also a genuine faster-than-light attack weapon, with this weapon, the fleet of the Resistance Alliance will be able to fight against the Earth Fleet, and it will not be completely passively beaten, the significance of this is immeasurable, this is tantamount to giving a glimmer of hope to the desperate patient, this glimmer of hope is simply too precious.
Although in essence, the core technology and production of the micro-quantum wave energy cannon are not in the hands of the Resistance Alliance, but who cares about this? The high-level leaders of the Resistance Alliance know that in fact, it is not only this faster-than-light attack weapon, but even the core technology and equipment of the faster-than-light spacecraft have been firmly controlled by the ancient civilization from beginning to end, and the historical changes of this meteorite star sea for millions of years have actually been in the hands of the extinct ancient civilization, and this situation has not changed in the slightest.
But for the sake of its own power, in order not to be unified by the earth civilization, even if it is controlled by the ancient civilization to a certain extent, this is also tolerable. After all, in the final analysis, the ancient civilization has perished after all, and it cannot really affect the power and interests of the local forces, which is still tolerable.
