Interstellar Industrial Age

Chapter 22, Gravity Cannon

The asteroid belt of the solar system is very empty and vast. There are an extremely large number of asteroids in this dark void. These asteroids are large and small.

As big as Ceres, it can already be regarded as the ranks of dwarf planets, and the small ones may only be the size of a fist, and even smaller ones exist in the form of cosmic dust.

More than a dozen Cosmos ships are flying fast in the asteroid belt, and the speed is very fast. The lights on the spacecraft are bright, and the scientists are very busy.

"DiDi~DiDi~"

The detectors on the spacecraft are fully open, and the information of asteroids in the surrounding void is constantly being collected into the computer, and scientists are looking for suitable targets.

"Asteroid number UL0234, with a mass of more than 60 billion tons, a length of 2,000 meters, a width of 300 meters, and a distance of 200,000 kilometers~"

Soon, scientists locked an asteroid. To test the power of gravity guns, it is obviously not suitable for asteroids that are too small. It is more suitable to find asteroids that are large enough. It is very huge, and it is often thousands of meters long.

"Target locked, request instructions~"

There is no difficulty in attacking an asteroid at all. The computer calculates the distance, speed, and trajectory between the two parties, and naturally it can easily lock the asteroid.

"Attack~"

Qin Yi looked at the pitch-black void outside, and at a distance of 200,000 kilometers, there was no trace of the asteroid at all.

But it doesn't matter. The virtual watch carried by Qin Yi has been connected to the computer center of the spacecraft. Various detectors have detected everything about the asteroid ahead clearly, and can clearly know the situation of the asteroid.

With Qin Yi's order, the gravity cannon on the spacecraft began to start slowly.

On the top of the spacecraft, there is a super-large special device, which has a long cone tens of meters long, which looks very hideous.

This is the Gravity Cannon, a powerful gravity weapon developed by Xinghan scientists.

As the powerful energy began to be continuously injected into the gravity cannon, the gravity cannon, which was originally calm and did not seem to have any fluctuations, seemed to vibrate slightly in the surrounding space, causing a circle of extremely tiny ripples.

Then, accompanied by a wave visible to the naked eye, a gravity cannon instantly disappeared into the pitch-black void and flashed toward the asteroid.

In a void 200,000 kilometers away, an asteroid is constantly running along its own trajectory for hundreds of millions of years. This is a huge asteroid with a mass of more than 60 billion tons.

Because the mass is too large, ordinary asteroid mining companies have no way to take it. More importantly, this asteroid is not an asteroid that contains a lot of metal, it is a asteroid that contains a lot of mud and rocks. asteroids with limited mining value.

Although it has a mass of more than 60 billion tons, it is still an insignificant existence compared to the stars in the void of the universe. It is not even a sphere, and it is still an irregular shape.

In the space where it is located, a wave spreads from a distance, and the speed is extremely fast, which is comparable to the speed of light.

The asteroid didn't even have time to react, and of course it wouldn't react at all, and the attack fell on it.

In an instant, the asteroid that was running quietly, like a balloon that was out of air, shriveled in an instant. In the middle area of ​​the asteroid, everything around it was collapsing towards a point in the core.

The speed of this collapse is extremely fast, like a black hole, with unparalleled terrifying swallowing power, in a very short period of time,

The entire asteroid was completely swallowed up and disappeared into the void all at once.

But soon, a little light began to flicker in the originally dark void, and an object only the size of a grinding disc began to shine. It was crystal clear and very beautiful, and the light released was similar to the stars in the surrounding void. , very charming.

It didn't take long for more than a dozen spaceships to fly from the void. The closer they got, the slower the speed of these more than ten spaceships.

"Attack speed reaches the speed of light~"

"The attack distance, 200,000 kilometers is very effective, and the limit distance needs to continue to be tested~"

"The attack is powerful~"

Qin Yi looked at the glowing objects in the void, and items of data kept popping up in his mind, all of which were calculated by the advanced detection instruments carried on more than a dozen spaceships just now.

"Not bad, at least it can be regarded as an ace weapon among low-level civilizations~"

Qin Yi was quite satisfied with the power of gravity.

Although the energy weapons are not bad in all aspects, their power has not been too powerful. Even if the same energy cannon is attacked, it can also make a big hole in the spaceship and space battleship. If you are lucky enough, this energy The attack is also able to kill a spaceship, space battleship.

But the gravity gun in front of you is completely different. It doesn't need luck. As long as it can hit a spaceship, a spaceship with a diameter of one kilometer, it is enough to kill it with one shot.

As for the large-scale spaceships and spaceships at the 0-kilometer level, Qin Yi also believed that if they were hit by a gravity cannon, they would be disabled even if they didn't die, and their power was quite good.

The ace weapon is not something that can be used casually.

In ancient times, people mainly used cold weapons, and the ace weapon was the cavalry. To have an elite cavalry, the number did not need to be too many, and one or two thousand was enough to sweep the world.

In the war between farming civilization and nomadic civilization, the reason why nomadic civilization has always been in an active position is because nomadic civilization has mastered the most powerful ace weapon in the cold weapon era - cavalry.

In modern times, the trump card weapon is the nuclear bomb. A nuclear bomb can destroy a huge city. Everyone will be disgusted when they talk about nuclear weapons. This is definitely not a joke.

The fact that this side of the earth has been able to maintain a relatively peaceful environment since World War II is actually a very important reason because of the existence of nuclear weapons. All major powers have mastered nuclear weapons and maintain a nuclear balance with each other.

Even if there are confrontations and contradictions with each other, no one will speak lightly about the war, because everyone knows that once the third world war breaks out, human beings will return to the Stone Age.

Now in the interstellar space age, the deterrent power of nuclear weapons is no longer enough to be called an ace weapon.

The interstellar universe is very vast, and the speed of battle in the void is very fast. If nuclear weapons want to attack the enemy, they must first get close to the enemy.

Even if it exploded next to the enemy, in the void, the speed of spaceships and space battleships is tens of kilometers per second, and they can easily escape the scope of the nuclear bomb explosion. It can be said that it is difficult to have any substantiality. deterrent.

To be able to be called an ace weapon in the interstellar space age, it must have sufficient power, and must also have a far enough attack distance, fast enough attack speed and frequency.

This gravity gun has a far enough attack distance. It is still being tested. Scientists have theoretically calculated that the attack distance of this gravity gun is more than 5 million kilometers, which is very far.

The attack speed, the attack speed of the gravity gun is the same as the energy weapon, it is the speed of light, the speed of light is theoretically the fastest speed in the universe, no one can surpass the speed of light.

As for the frequency of attacks, the gravity gun is still quite good, it can attack every 5 minutes, although it is not too fast, but the attack speed of energy weapons is even slower, because it requires energy storage, there is a storage energy before the attack. stage.

Gravity cannons are enough to be called ace weapons in all aspects, and at least among the -3-level cosmic civilizations, they are definitely the most powerful beings.

Qin Yi is still very sure of this, and has enough self-confidence.

"I understand now, why it took 30 years to build a warp engine~"

Just when Qin Yi was thinking, Lu Qingwei suddenly seemed to understand something, and said suddenly.

"Understand what?"

Liu Peiqiang looked at Lu Qingwei and said.

"An asteroid with such a large mass has only a little bit of material after it becomes a pseudo-degenerate material. We want to build a warp engine, but we don't know how huge the resources needed. It takes 30 years to be able to do it. Thank goodness it was made.”

Lu Qingwei looked at the little thing glowing in the void, and gestured with his hand.

An asteroid with a mass of more than 60 billion tons collapsed to the size of a grinding disc after being attacked by a gravity cannon. This warp engine is very large, and the amount of pseudo-degenerate materials needed is unknown.

"This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the processing difficulty of this pseudo-degenerate material is too great, which is the most time-consuming."

Ren Qing looked at Lu Qingwei and said with a smile.

Although the pseudo-degenerate material is not a degenerate material, its density is too great, and its hardness is too great. There is no way to use it with conventional processing methods. Gravity technology is still used. Only by using special methods can this pseudo-degenerate material be processed into the shape you want.

"Take your time, we have time. Now we have energy weapons and gravity weapons. Our power is unprecedentedly powerful. Only we can bully others. As for alien civilizations, if they want to invade our solar system, we can Beating the ground looking for teeth."

Qin Yi was in a good mood, and he seemed much more confident when he spoke. This is called a stiff waist, and he speaks with confidence. For ordinary low-level cosmic civilizations, there is no need to be afraid now.
