Super-electromagnetic orbital star destroyer.
A picture quickly appeared in my mind.
On a huge space battleship whose head and tail could not be seen, a pitch-black muzzle was revealed, and then a little orange light gradually lit up in the muzzle. After a long period of charging, a shell filled with terrifying kinetic energy flew out at sub-light speed.
According to the equipment of the standard mothership of the Galactic Republic, this super weapon first needs a medium-sized hydrogen fusion reactor to provide energy, and the charging time in wartime is at least sixty seconds.
It's called the Super Electromagnetic Orbital Star Destroyer. Of course, despite this name, it is definitely impossible for it to blow up a planet with one shot like in those science fiction movies.
That's too exaggerated!
Theoretically, the initial launch speed of this super-electromagnetic orbital star destroyer can reach at least 10,000 kilometers per second. In other words, the initial velocity of the shell reaches a level that is close to one-fiftieth of the speed of light, which is shocking to the people on Earth!
Due to energy limitations, although only a supermagnetic metal ball of about 120 grams was launched, according to the law of mass-energy, the kinetic energy of this metal ball is beyond the imagination of the weapon system. Although it is unlikely to blow up the planet with one shot, it is absolutely possible to tear some satellite fragments into pieces with one shot. Therefore, although the name of the star destroyer is a bit exaggerated, it is not an exaggeration in the pure sense.
In fact, this cannon cannot be manufactured with the current technological level of Earth civilization, but now it is not the Earth civilization that is building it, but the interstellar civilization.
They just lack engineers. Their materials and energy are not enough to build super-electromagnetic orbital star destroyers.
Otokogawa's expression remained unchanged: "If I remember correctly, the super electromagnetic orbital star destroyer should be a type of weapon banned by the Republic! If the Republic's army finds out that I'm building this thing, they will execute me on the spot."
The skull-faced man sneered and said, "Republic? Haha... The Republic has long been corrupt and will collapse sooner or later. The chaos is coming, and I am worried without some cosmic weapons. You have outstanding scientific attainments. If you want to stand out, you must be loyal to Jabba the Hutt, and you will get countless wealth, women and power... instead of spending the rest of your life in this desert..."
The corruption of the Republic is no secret and can be judged from some information.
Twenty-five thousand years ago, the Galactic Republic was born with the signing of the Galactic Constitution on Coruscant.
While history often depicts the Republic as an idyllic utopia, a more impartial examination reveals numerous galactic conflicts throughout its history - such as the Hundred Years of Darkness, the Droid Revolt, and the Vulta Disaster.
As the Republic grew, many government bureaucrats and legislators became increasingly corrupt and complacent. Millions of years of entrenched bureaucracy had prevented any flexible government structures from being formed. In addition, partisan politics and abuse of power also hampered the effective functioning of the Republic.
The sun is setting.
These four words are enough to describe the current situation of this vast interstellar republic.
And this is what Xiao Yi expects. Chaos is suitable for a stowaway like him.
"Are you here to convince me on Jabba's behalf?"
Otogawa probed and said, if that's the case, then it is very likely that Jabba is on Tatooine. Even if he is no longer on Tatooine, he should be in this star system. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to transmit his information to the depths of the universe in just ten days.
The universe is too vast. Even if we have the technology of curvature navigation, which can fly dozens or hundreds of times faster than the speed of light, it will still take a very long time to reach the next civilized planet.
According to the information Eva collected, Jabba the Hutt was a hateful gangster and the leader of a well-known criminal group in this star region.
No one knows where his base is.
The Republic's several attempts to eradicate him failed, but later his business grew bigger and bigger, and he whitewashed himself through bribery.
But his warship, which was filled with blood, could not be cleansed.
His businesses included slave trading, arms smuggling, spice smuggling, extortion and many other evil activities that could bring him huge profits.
"Jabba needs a genius like you!"
Skull Face did not admit it directly, but pointed at the mercenaries holding guns outside and said gloomily: "If you can't be used by him, he will destroy you... This is Lord Jabba's territory, you can't escape!"
"Oh, okay!" Xiao Yi pretended to be relieved and said, "Super Electromagnetic Orbital Star Destroyer, this is not an easy task. I promise to design it for you, but you need to give me time and resources. Besides, I have never made this thing before. I need experiments and learning. If you can get the blueprints, that would be the best. Even if you can't get the blueprints, give me a scrapped Super Electromagnetic Orbital Star Destroyer. I know Jabba has it. Also, construction materials and equipment. The garbage on Tatooine is useless. Do you need me to make a list for you?"
"What do you need?" In fact, although this Jiwen man casually mentioned building a super electromagnetic orbital star destroyer cannon, he actually knows nothing about it. He only knows that this thing is terrifyingly powerful.
As for how terrifying it is, it is probably enough to directly destroy some island countries and peninsula countries on the earth in just a few minutes.
Comparable to nuclear weapons.
As for why we don’t develop nuclear bombs, nuclear bombs are really not very useful in space wars.
In space warfare, nuclear bombs are definitely a less efficient weapon. Nuclear explosions in a vacuum environment do not produce shock waves, and the light pressure generated is negligible, so they cannot cause the mechanical impact caused by explosions in the atmosphere; all of its energy is released in the form of radiation and electromagnetic pulses, and for any civilization capable of space flight, the spacecraft's radiation protection and electromagnetic shielding technology can even withstand stellar storms, so the radiation from nuclear weapons is really a drizzle.
The only thing that will work is to hit the target directly.
That's another matter. At this time, heat will play a decisive role and it is very likely to melt or even vaporize the target.
But it is too difficult to hit a spacecraft with a nuclear bomb, and simple interception weapons can easily do it.
In fact, in terms of mechanical strike, nuclear bombs are not as good as kinetic weapons; in terms of radiation intensity, they are not as good as particle beam weapons; and in terms of thermal energy destruction, they are not as good as gamma-ray lasers.
There is also pollution.
Therefore, except as a nuclear energy source, nuclear bombs have long been eliminated in this interstellar civilization.
"The Super Electromagnetic Orbital Star Destroyer Cannon is good for dealing with planets, but if it comes to air combat, the ion cannon is even more powerful. We designed them together. Do you want them? However, this requires a greater investment... Of course, any investment is worth it."
Since ion cannons and other directed energy weapons suffer severe energy losses in the atmospheric environment, they are only used in wars set in space.
This type of weapon is often referred to as space-based directed energy weapons.
"Gu!"
The sound of swallowing saliva appeared in the empty abandoned spaceship.
"Can you do it? No, you must be able to..."
Hehe... As expected, civilization is only in the heads of a few people, and knowledge is always the greatest wealth or strength...
Xiao Yi smiled in his heart, you let me build a super weapon, it's really a piece of cake... Bah, let me get the advantage!
A long list was made, mainly basic materials and ultra-high-performance machine tools.
If we build an ordinary railgun, it won’t be so troublesome, but the super-electromagnetic orbital star destroyer is different.
In terms of technological content, the super-electromagnetic orbital star destroyer is almost the pinnacle of electromagnetic technology, that is, the key technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and it is the top-level weapon power that super-electromagnetic technology can achieve.
"Lord Jabba is not short of money. If it weren't for the Republic and the alliances that imposed a technological blockade on us and even refused to sell us space-based weapons... Enough said, Zorro, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation! Remember, this is Lord Jabba's territory, you will get everything you want... On the contrary, you will also lose everything! You are a smart person, you know how to choose!"
"I'm a science fan. Just give me materials and equipment. That's enough. Happy cooperation!"
Watching Ji Wenren leading a group of mercenaries away, Yi Xiaochuan sneered and felt a little happy.
At this time, Watto came over with his wings flapping, rubbing his hands excitedly and greedily, "How is it? How is it? My commission, you can't lose my..."
"Watto, you've got me in big trouble... Jabba the Hutt has put me in his service..."
"Jabba?!"
Watto's tone immediately rose several decibels, and he said angrily: "This is really none of my business. Be careful, tyrant. I'm leaving first... Bye!"
Watching the greedy Watu walk away without looking back, Yi Xiaochuan remained silent, but kept calculating in his mind.
"Could it be that the interstellar bandit, the local tyrant of this star field, built his lair in this damned Tatooine sand sea? Let's make a divination and see..."
"It's really unexpected! Haha, that's great..."
"Hold the emperor hostage to control the other princes!"
“This is well worth planning…”
“Hehehe!”
…
Tatooine, the palace of Jabba the Hutt!
A palace in the desert that is eroded by wind and sand but still luxurious.
Humans made the rules of the galaxy, so Jabba felt it was his moral duty to reject them altogether.
He would teach his son, Lotta, to do the same.
"I can tell you!" he said, as he walked into the magnificent audience room and waved his short arms slightly: "One day, everything here will belong to you. No, I hope you can have more. Much more than this."
He picked up a string of intricately crafted, priceless emerald beads and dangled it before his son's eyes. The gems sparkled in the light, revealing their delicate inner veins.
The courtiers gathered around, watching in silence, while a solo musician plucked a soothing tune on the strings of the jalon.
Jabba enjoys admiring his collection of talented, valuable, and loyal creatures.
"Look, isn't it cute? Isn't it valuable?"
Lotta giggled, and a string of tiny pearly bubbles of saliva came out of his mouth. He grasped the necklace and looked at it closely, as if he was estimating its carat weight. Then a huge smile broke out on his face, and he shook the emerald eagerly, as if he were shaking a rattle.
“The more you have, the stronger you are.”
Jabba waited until Lota grew tired of his makeshift toy and tossed it aside.
The alien Nikto guards stepped forward and took the jewels from Jabba.
"Our bodies are slow, Pumpkin, so our minds must be quick. You will need to learn all these lessons before you inherit my empire."
Lotta stared at him in confusion.
He cannot yet understand his tradition.
Never mind, Jabba would repeat the lesson every day anyway, until Lota was old enough to understand that the only way to make a living in a galaxy dominated by fast, pushy, cocky bipeds was to play them at their own game, grab the wealth before they could, before everyone else, and hire faster, deadlier creatures to help you hold on to it.
A hulking Hutt, Jabba resembled a legless, mud-smeared slug, with a monotonous face dominated by a wide, drooling, toothless mouth and two orange reptilian eyes that gazed greedily from the top of his massive head.
Their body size is more suitable for Val, their long-abandoned home planet, the quagmire-like home planet.
There, their size and proportions are not an obstacle, until they begin to compete with humanoid bipeds.
But wisdom is always more powerful than the flesh!
