The imperial fleet began to change formation at an unprecedented speed. The defense troops that were originally deployed on the side of the Great Nebula on the border of the Freedom Kingdom did not even have time to clean up the space turrets they deployed there. As if rushing to reincarnate, I hurriedly contacted General Jayne who was in charge of this line of defense. When the communicator was connected, that handsome middle-aged man immediately jumped into my eyes.
I don't know if I should complain about this major general. Although he is not unqualified as a soldier, and this old man who tends to be prudent in combat has some merits, but that day his life committed the fate of Lone Star. Gezhen didn’t know if it was his fault—because all his colleagues in this defense zone were killed, Major General Jayne has now been promoted again, as the supreme commander of the eastern defense line of the Freedom Kingdom. If you want to go through this guy's resume, every promotion on it means that his predecessor is finished-although this situation is very common in the army, as long as the generals who succeed Jayne are either dead or disabled It's scary enough, the old handsome guy's military career is a row of bloody footprints...
Of course, it's not his fault. To use Lilina's comment, it's fate!
After the communication was connected, General Jayne saluted me. He quickly accepted the fact that the "Senior Adviser of the Federal Army" he met a few days ago turned into the Emperor of the Empire. From this point of view, he only obeyed orders. , but the soldier's instinct to ask anything that has nothing to do with the mission is vividly reflected.
"General Jayne, stop talking nonsense, I will send you a star map right now, are there any rebels in action in the red part?"
I interrupted Jayne's following etiquette by opening my mouth in advance, and then sent the pre-shock area calculated urgently by the shipboard main engine to the other party. The old handsome guy looked down and immediately replied: "Only one patrol force is about to enter that area." There is an area close to the Shepherd's Line, and the Rebels have barely taken any action in that area."
"I'll give you ten minutes now, and let that patrol team come back immediately! Then you can run as far as you can! Not only the sky area I marked, but also at least 50 million kilometers around it is a radial range, remember , you only have ten minutes, transfer immediately!"
"How... yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!"
"Very well, we are preparing a super weapon, but when we launched it, we discovered that the power of this thing is much greater than expected, understand?"
As soon as I explained so proactively, Jayne’s expression changed, and he rushed to greet those patrols to come back. Who would dare to resist a thing that can be called a super weapon by the Imperial Army
"Huh..." I breathed a sigh of relief, and I turned my attention back to the projection under the bridge. Now that the real-time observation of the outside scene has been turned off in the battleship, the endless blue sea of flames has been watching for a long time. It will cause psychological depression, and what is presented on the projection is a panoramic view of the entire psionic death star, an extremely huge blue fireball, dazzling, dazzling, and extremely magnificent, and its burning surface is now regularly producing The bō patterns, and all the bō patterns finally gathered on the side of the Death Star facing the large nebula, it was the result of intentional control by the control core that came back online, the Death Star Fortress fell into the timeline that existed six seconds ago After that, it was still running continuously. During that time, its core engineers repaired all the functions of the control core, but they were unable to vent the excess energy that the fortress had accumulated. Now this thing is on the verge of overload due to overheating of components, and a large-scale venting is needed In order to cool down, Qianqian distorted its time as much as possible, so that the eruption would start ten minutes later, in order to allow the friendly fleet in the range of energy catharsis to have time to evacuate.
Qianqian didn't know when she had arrived at the bridge, and immediately jumped to my side, and I looked at the gorgeous blue fireball on the projection with curiosity, and Ding Dong also came out, pointing at the candy stick in his hand. The holographic projection yelled: "Wow! Ding Dong feels that this thing has a lot of power!"
"Attention, the overload of the psionic death star has reached a critical point, and the best way to release energy has been selected. The third group of weapon systems will be forcibly activated in ten seconds. Please evacuate all fleets in the release area. The countdown before the system is activated, ten ... Nine... Eight... Four... Three... Two... One, start releasing."
The shipboard host and the psionic Death Star's control core were temporarily connected together, and the moment the soft electronic synthesis sound fell, the Death Star Fortress broke out.
It seems inappropriate to describe it as an explosion. This huge fireball did not explode. In my eyes, it just shook suddenly, and then the countless flames on its surface all pointed in the direction of the big nebula as if blown by a hurricane. , if I really want to describe it, the Death Star Fortress, which was originally like a fluffy ball, seemed to grow countless sharp spikes in an instant, and all of them pointed in one direction—the head under a typhoon of level 12. If you can think about this scene I also know what's going on.
Except for bald ones.
There is no torrent of blue flames as I imagined, nor is there an unprecedentedly huge beam of psionic energy that can blind people's eyes. The Death Star Fortress just trembled violently, and then it was covered with thorns, which made me a little disappointed, but the next step In seconds, disappointment turned to shock.
Below the main screen of the holographic projection, there are more than a dozen flat monitoring images, each showing a series of celestial bodies that the psionic death star may touch during this catharsis. The first monitoring image is an asteroid Belt, there is the celestial body area closest to the psionic death star, and now, there is nothing there.
The entire asteroid belt, vaporized in a millisecond.
Then there is the second monitor, where there is a mass of hot gas that has not yet formed a star. This giant celestial body lasted for about a second, and finally disappeared, leaving only a light blue cloud on the screen.
Immediately afterwards, the third, the fourth... The celestial bodies shown on the monitoring images either disappeared instantly, evaporated rapidly, or were blown into a gaseous state under the invisible impact bō, until they reached the theoretical limit distance of the impact bō. It took an invisible tsunami of death to stop, and in just a few minutes, the wind of destruction had already flattened the space of five light years. Within this almost unimaginable distance, there was no one left What took on a physical state remained.
"... Then... what is that?" I exclaimed in horror, "How many times is its speed the speed of light!"
Five light years! If there was no collective wind for the huge pile of numbers in front of him, this wind of destruction would have blown a distance of five light-years! When the bō and range map was sent to me at the beginning, I didn't look at the units on it carefully. Only now do I know that the units are light years
"Some kind of mutated void factor, non-material and non-energy, cannot be detected in any way during the attack. It can be considered as a deletion similar to the law level, but in essence it is still a conventional weapon lower than the law strike," said Psychic Death The designer of the star, Tavel's mass projection appeared in front of me and explained to me, "It is an unstable state between void energy and psionic energy, because it does not belong to the world, so its spread The speed has actually reached infinite speed, but in order to prevent this weapon from passing through the entire universe in an instant when it is activated, or even returning from the other end of the universe to kill itself, we artificially limited its range and speed, and at the same time increased it. The effective range of this pseudo-empty attack is five light years. In the state of maximum output, it can wipe out all celestial bodies within the range. Even an imperial warship can rarely resist its attack. The only disadvantage is that this This kind of attack cannot be released through the hyperspace device, because in a different space state, it will immediately jump back to the void energy and then dissipate. Therefore, this super weapon with a direct range of five light-years has a range of more than advanced in actual application. The shortest of the weapons, the satellite cannon, can strike across time and space, but it cannot."
"You want to tell me that this thing that wiped out all the celestial bodies in five light years is actually a melee weapon, right?"
I almost looked at Tavel with a broken face, but the latter nodded to me solemnly: "It's natural, my lord, you still underestimated the word ultimate weapon, since the Psionic Death Star project has been invested With such huge manpower and material resources, and even using the forbidden technology obtained from the Red Moon Cube, it must be worthy of its title of "ultimate weapon". As a weapon that destroys conventional celestial bodies within a limited range, "Chen Jun's Breath" It should be said that it does not disgrace the size of the Death Star Fortress..."
"Wait, wait—" I hurriedly interrupted Tavel, "What did you call this thing just now?"
"'Chen Junzhi's breath', as the first Death Star fortress in the era of empire revival, the psionic Death Star is very honored to have a weapon system named after you, ah, including its defense system..."
"Change it for me! Whose idea is this!!"
"Ah Jun, someone came up with it..." Qianqian immediately shook my arm pitifully, "There is also Chen Junzhi watching, Chen Junzhi roaring, Chen Junzhi's thunderous blow, Chen Junzhi's spiked shell..."
The Sa family fell to the ground and cried bitterly: "Girl, I knew it must be you... Don't you think this is very embarrassing?"
"Don't be ashamed!" Qianqian said confidently, "This is Ah Jun's stuff, so I must write my name on it!"
Let me tell you, if this name is going to be spread today, tomorrow I will have no face to face anyone!
Fortunately, in the end, with my desperate persistence, Chen Junzhi's thunder strike, Chen Junzhi's sweeping of thousands of troops, and other things were all invalidated. The third weapon of the Psionic Death Star was named "Emperor's Breath", although it still Full of remnants, but that was already the biggest concession from Mr. Qianqian, who was determined to make his boyfriend lose face. During this process, Ding Dong rolled happily on my shoulders, almost laughing like crazy.
Even this kind of heartless female god lord complains about those names to this point, do you think I dare to let them spread
"Okay, okay, I'm calming down a little bit now," it took a lot of energy and stamina to get Qianqian to give up her unrealistic idea, and I gasped for a long time. Let the mood calm down, and then look at Tavel with a somewhat proud face, "I should have thought that the ultimate weapon, the meaning of this kind of thing is to sweep all conventional troops with absolute power, which is equivalent to nuclear bombs against infantry The same gap, I understand, then what is the specific performance of this thing, the control endangers the battery life, I have to know in detail, we built this to fight the rebels in the final battle, I don’t want it to lose the chain at a critical moment.”
"Yes, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this at all. Just now I exchanged information with the researchers on the return trip from the science ship and confirmed that the Psionic Death Star has fully met our expected design. It is now completely controllable. The internal control core has been optimized as much as possible with the joint efforts of those researchers who lost into the different time axis, reducing a large number of redundant signals, and at least doubling the response speed of the fortress to higher-level orders. The shutdown components of the Death Star will change from mounted to embedded. In any case, even in extreme situations such as the Death Star crash, emergency shutdown will be the last system that can be manipulated. You don’t have to worry about it going berserk again. As for the combat power of the Death Star itself, there is no doubt about it. It adopts the technology we have researched from the Red Moon Cube. Except for the control core, it is completely composed of psionic energy and a small amount of void energy. It relies on the complex formula of energy concentration and quality. To generate execution power, that is to say, the Death Star Fortress has no fixed structure, it can change its structure and function according to the order at any time, which makes it have a weapon system that is almost indestructible, as long as the Death Star Its main body maintains at least one-third of its integrity, and its weapon system will always be online. Its attack methods are various. The first is the Emperor's Breath that you have seen, a void shock bō with a distance of five light years. It is a weapon with extremely high attack power within the range, but it is slow to launch and takes a long time to recharge, followed by a regular and high-speed psionic strike—due to the special structure of the Death Star Fortress, it has the ability to shoot from unlimited angles and With a nearly 100% attack density per unit area, no matter whether it is a high-speed assault ship or a heavily armored aircraft carrier, it will be safe after approaching this monster. It can be described as the most powerful anti-aircraft artillery fire, gravity attack, space attack, and gravitational perturbation. , and the deadliest infinite supernova explosion, these various offensive abilities allow our Death Star Fortress to destroy all enemies in an instant, and expand the frontier of the empire to wherever you want it to go.
As for the defense ability, this may be regarded as its unavoidable shortcoming. The Death Star Fortress did not have a shield at the beginning of its design, even now. The energy shield functioning normally in the sky, of course, does not have the so-called armor, but these shortcomings are still acceptable compared to the special properties of the entire fortress. Its structure is the best defense, and no shield can be better than a piece of tens of thousands of Hundreds of millions of kilometers thick, almost solid sea of psionic energy is more reliable. The untouchable main body of the Death Star Fortress can resist any conventional weapons, and the damage tolerance of this thing is astonishingly high, as long as it is not exposed to enemy groups for a long time During the bombing, the probability of the fortress being extinguished is very low.
As for the second defense method of the Death Star Fortress, it was not in the original design. It was not until a few minutes ago that the subordinates discovered this defense method after comparing all the data. It can be said... It was a completely unexpected harvest. "
Tavel stopped here on purpose.
I have to admit that even Tavel, who usually looks a bit dull, will turn into a level 6 salesman and speaker once it comes to what she researches. She has successfully aroused my interest—I have never seen it before. This lady with glasses also behaved like this.
"Okay, okay, you are a genius, don't bully my mortal IQ, what is the second defense method?"
The researcher Hei Changzhi pushed her glasses and smiled: "Time, parsec, the great theory from Mistress Qianqian!"
"My lord, I really haven't been able to transform the parsec theory into a technology that can be applied in practice, let alone create a defense system based on this theory, but the accidental timeline derailment of the Psionic Death Star made it erratic. Entered the parsec state by mistake, no one knows which part of the Death Star Fortress is at work, but we still have the skills to follow the same pattern, now we only need to adjust the Death Star control core to a certain frequency , it can still enter that timeline smoothly. The operation performed by Mistress Qianqian when she recalled the timeline has been accurately recorded by the core of the Death Star. Now it can not only enter the parsec at any time, but can also recover to In the normal timeline, according to the calculations just completed by the subordinates, the invincible state of the psionic death star can last for nearly five minutes at most. The original psionic death star was too large to install the necessary anti-corrosion equipment for large ships. The phased protection system, its biggest weakness is that it will be attacked by super-large-scale enemy forces, and it will be consumed until it is completely unable to dodge the attack, but now the parsec defense mode allows it to have a precious five minutes of invincibility time , within five minutes, the fortress can complete an emergency charge to restore 25% of the structure, or escape the enemy's fire coverage area, its battlefield survivability has been greatly improved, and strictly speaking, the parsec It belongs to a law-level defense method, and the Psionic Death Star that can use this defense mode is also a law weapon. This is a monument! The most memorable breakthrough in the era of empire recovery! We completely use our own technology to rebuild Out of Law Weapons—in theory."
When talking about this in theory, Tavel's face was obviously darkened. I knew what she was struggling with. Although the psionic death star was created by us, and all its technologies came from the intellectual property rights of the empire, but that The principle of parsecs, Tavel has not been able to apply, we have created a weapon with the ability to fight according to the law, but we cannot copy it, the production of psionic death star is more like a coincidence, which of course makes Tavel’s The sense of accomplishment is greatly reduced, but in any case, the successful launch of the Psionic Death Star is still a good thing. Although we already had law-level weapons like Avalon before, half of the latter came from the protoss technology of Ding Dong. It is completely incomparable with the Death Star Fortress.
Thinking of this, I patted Tavel's shoulder comfortingly—at first I planned to pat my head, but my hand almost slipped—encouragingly said: "Don't get entangled, Qianqian is also a member of the empire, and you will be the Parsec for the time being Technology is something on the mysterious side, so if it can’t be applied on the scientific side for the time being, why not use it? I don’t know anything else, so comforting myself is a must.”
Tavel stared blankly at my hand on her shoulder, dumbfounded by the way I comforted myself: "Uh, well, thank you, my lord, now we can start the next step, activate Jingfeng On the other side of the world, regarding the research on that ancient wreck, my subordinates also made some discoveries, uh, I hope you will not be too surprised... "A
