Chapter 72 A moment of tranquility
It's just that the other party was very "giving face". In less than five minutes after the jump, the star port detected that the weapon charging was turned on on the unknown warship, and judging from the magnitude, the star port staff had already It is certain that it is not a simple "suppressive" weapon, but an out-and-out ship attack weapon. You must know that after the previous war, one of the conditions for Xia Guo to join the Interstellar Federation with the Pan-Asian camp was that the Federation except Border troops and some armed intervention forces must not use anti-ship weapons with excessive single-kill effects. Otherwise, the colonies formerly owned by the Xia Kingdom would have the right to develop necessary self-defense weapons and fleets.
Now the situation has obviously exceeded the expectations of the Ganymede colony star port. Just as they were holding on to a bit of luck, they thought that the target of the warship's fire was the "Eden" that had almost been occupied by alien creatures. After all, according to any Judging from the information submitted by Xu Nianmeng about McCas's report, the "Zeus-class" mining ship from the old era to the present is inseparable from the United Church, and some senior federal officials even secretly participated and planned it. The inside story, both emotional and logical, is understandable for the federal government to dispatch troops to destroy the physical evidence.
But the next second, the energy shield on the surface of the "Xunyang" began to flash red violently, and from the observation screen of the star port, a huge gap in the belly of the hull could be clearly seen, and then Ren Chao called for help. The signal was received at the star port. As one of the former colonies directly under the Xia Kingdom, most of the staff working in the star port inherited the tradition of the Xia Kingdom, which is to "take peace as the most important thing, not be afraid of strong enemies, and dare to fight." Dare to win."
At this time, the colonial governor's order was immediately conveyed, which was to immediately destroy the federal warship that attacked the "Xun Yang". All the floating array guns around the star port were immediately online, and the huge acceleration orbit was aimed at the federal warship. A warship of a church, this kind of weapon array used to defend colonies. Even when the Pan-Asian Alliance was at its most glorious, it was an almost unsolvable fixed defense weapon. It was an extremely rare quantum gravity wave weapon.
When a massive star reaches the end of its life, matter will condense under the influence of its own gravitational collapse and form a powerful gravity field. If the weight of the core allows this collapse to continue indefinitely, a black hole is created. On the other hand, if we perform quantum condensation artificially, we can also generate an artificial gravity field. The gravity wave weapon is a quantum directed energy weapon, which is a new development of directed energy weapons in the quantum era. Its principle is also the same. Quantum condensation. Due to the lack of media in the universe, sound waves, shock waves, etc. cannot propagate, causing the effectiveness of traditional explosive weapons, including nuclear weapons, to be greatly reduced. Gravity waves do not have this limitation, so in the universe, high-energy gravity waves emitted in a direction can easily achieve a diffuse killing effect.
"The Fuxi weapon array is fully charged, requesting permission to launch!"
After hearing the operator's report, the star port commander thought for a moment and then ordered:
"Fuxi No. 1 and No. 2 attack the locked target, and No. 3 is set as a waiting machine. If the front attack cannot completely destroy the enemy warship, secondary attacks will be carried out alternately. The other attack modules will continue to maintain the charging state and attack Jupiter. Conduct continuous reconnaissance in the airspace around three, and if you encounter an unknown ship that poses an armed threat, attack on its own! Turn on the terminal directional interception system and prepare for the possibility of approaching the enemy at close range."
At this time, everyone in the lobby of the star port command tower began to become nervous. According to the commander's deployment, they heard the possibility of a full-scale war. For most of them, most of them had not experienced the situation that almost wiped out the entire human race. For those who have fought two wars, they are both scared and excited, not so much the desire for war, but the joy that they can truly fulfill their duties as a soldier.
The Xunyang's condition at this time can be said to be extremely tragic. A huge crack was torn open by the VN-1 particle light spear in the middle of the ship's hull. The isolation and explosion-proof shield on the bridge just fell so slowly, and this huge The cracks have a lot to do with it. After all, even if the "Xunyang" is a warship, due to the influence of its size and scale, the function of its own on-board life support system is limited. The appearance of the cracks in the belly of the ship is enough to reverse the situation. After the air pressure and oxygen content in the cabin are damaged, the life support system will focus almost all its functions on repairing the damage there. After all, the explosion-proof isolation system cannot exist in every part of the entire ship, which means that some more "biased" For the damaged location of "door", I want to rely on the method of "tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall".
Temporarily deploy the isolation plates in the undamaged areas to repair fatal damage as quickly as possible. Although the importance of the bridge is extremely special, the closed explosion-proof shield here has not been removed, but if the bridge is activated In the case of a closed system, the speed will naturally slow down a lot due to the overall function. If "Xiao Ai" hadn't forcibly lifted the safety protocol of the bridge's closed system in the end, otherwise Du Jin might have been sucked out of the ship with Li Mengyan. In space, such an ending is definitely not pleasant.
If Du Jin and Li Mengyan were to go into space without protection, their brains would first feel a lack of oxygen, but people would not lose consciousness immediately because the oxygen contained in the blood in our bodies will help the brain sustain it for about 15 seconds. , in this process, if we hold a candle and breathe, we are likely to die within two minutes. Because the drop in air pressure causes the lungs to expand rapidly until they finally burst, allowing air to enter the body's circulation system. So if we are suddenly exposed to a vacuum environment, the first thing to do is to exhale all the air in our lungs.
In addition, if our body is exposed to space for about 10 seconds, sweat will leak out from the skin because the liquid in the body will evaporate quickly. Due to the strong radiation in the universe, our skin will feel like it is being roasted on fire, but it will not burn the skin. Although the temperature in space is extremely low, in the absence of convection and conduction, the body's heat will not be lost so quickly. , before freezing to death, people will suffocate to death. This process is absolutely extremely painful, and it is a truly desperate death. Du Jin also knows very well that the black blood mark residing in his body needs to transform his physique and fight against it. There is nothing wrong with the blood seal. If you want to change the physical environment, it is impossible.
At this time, Du Jin slowly stood up from the ground. Although he still had no feeling in his waist, he could stand up leaning on the tall equipment that was used for unknown purposes, which proved that the injury was not fatal.
"Fortunately, this exoskeleton armor is of high quality, otherwise I would definitely have suffered a broken spine or something."
Silently thanking the employee or robot who produced this exoskeleton armor, Du Jin looked at Li Mengyan who was also staggering and wanted to help him, but he also knew his physical condition. If he couldn't help him later, Instead, it would be the most unlucky thing to be thrown into the mud. In fact, it seemed that Du Jin was not needed. Both Xiang Yuan and Ren Chao rushed up to protect Li Mengyan and helped her to a chair aside. Next to him, the original owner of the chair was naturally very discerning. He immediately untied the restraints on his body and gave up his position. After a while, a middle-aged woman wearing white nursing clothes appeared from the elevator, holding an instrument on Li Mengyan. Scanned several times.
Du Jin was a little cold here, but it was not that no one cared about him. Ren Chao also asked his adjutant to send someone to check Du Jin's situation immediately. After all, everyone saw Du Jin's performance just now. If Du Jin hadn't caught Li Mengyan in time, she might have turned into a "popsicle" in space. Although the Xunyang's alarm was still flashing at this moment, at least there was no strong vibration as before, but no matter Du Jin No one else had relaxed at all. The attack just now had made it clear to everyone that the federal warship with an unknown purpose not only dared to attack the Xunyang, but also came with the intention of completely destroying it.
While speeding up as much as possible to move away from its attack range, the Xunyang also launched a counterattack. Although it was positioned as a medium-range destroyer, it was still equipped with some missile weapons that could hit the enemy ship. Many people believe that space-age missile weapons have no use at all. After all, with the continuous upgrading of shield technology and the increasingly stable ship-based interception system, missiles seem to have withdrawn from the war stage in the space age.
But it should be clear that in space battles, the missile itself is not actually a method of killing, but a firepower projection carrier. It can be compatible with laser, kinetic energy and other killing methods. After all, as a ranged explosive weapon, direct hits or penetration are not considered. Implosion (that’s definitely a no-brainer), the killing effect of explosive warheads attenuates significantly with distance, and due to the lack of media in space, the explosion will not form what we often call a “shock wave”, further reducing the killing range of this type of weapon. , it is difficult to achieve the "near miss" effect in traditional naval battles.
Moreover, dense formations are unlikely to appear in space (even if they are dense, they are measured in kilometers). Therefore, conventional nuclear warheads in a vacuum almost lose their AOE properties. In other words, this type of warhead requires that the carrier must have extremely strong penetration and guidance capabilities to ensure that the warhead is delivered to the target. For nuclear missiles, the damage of nuclear warheads in space mainly comes from the following two points:
1. High temperature. It dissipates extremely quickly in space and can be considered as a single point of destruction.
2. Radiation mainly composed of X-rays. Because there is no atmospheric barrier, and assuming there is no magnetic field, the radiation effect of a nuclear explosion is better than that in the atmosphere. X-rays are generally effective against "hard targets", but have a significant effect on people and electronic equipment that lack protection.
