Voyage of the Stars

Although magnetic thruster technology cannot be directly used in battleship weapons, a civilization that can create magnetic thrust must have more in-depth research on magnetic field technology.

Therefore, the naval guns of the third-level civilization, in addition to the weapons possessed by the second-level civilization, seem to be just a group of nanobots, but the problem cannot be viewed that way. Due to more in-depth research on the development route of electromagnetic force, level three civilizations will reach a new level in the application of magnetic fields.

Just like people today, many derivative technologies have been born due to research on nanometers and magnetic propulsion.

This makes the magnetic shield of the new warship more powerful than before. Similarly, the diamagnetic layer is also more stable, which means that the harsh space environment will have less impact on the new warship.

Take the previous quasi-magnetic star as an example. In the past, it was impossible to get close to the location, but now the new warship can come and go freely. This is an intuitive manifestation of technological progress.

The same is true for weapons. Advances in magnetic field technology will also lead to more powerful plasma cannons. Although this kind of energy weapon can be resisted by polarization shields, maintaining the polarization shields also requires energy.

As long as the force of the blow exceeds the bearing capacity of the polarization shield, the polarization shield can still be broken. Well, the so-called polarization shield is improved from the low-temperature plasma shield, which can protect against laser, plasma and other energy weapons.

Human scientists believe that this is one of the hallmark technologies of level three civilization.

Of course, polarization shields cannot protect against kinetic energy weapons, so the main gun of the new flagship Tianqin is still an electromagnetic rail gun, but it is not the one from back then, but an electromagnetic rail gun that has been upgraded with Level 3 civilization technology .

Let's put it this way, comparing the two, the new electromagnetic railgun only needs to fire one shot at the planet from the planet's orbit, which can cause a meteorite that is as powerful as the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Although it is still unable to directly blow up a planet, it is not a star-exploding weapon, but it can easily completely destroy the ecological environment of a planet.

Under repeated bombings, the living planet can also be bombarded to cause large-scale volcanic eruptions. As a result, the global temperature will rise, and all living things on the planet will become extinct, making it a real hell.

This kind of strike would only be possible for humans at the second level of civilization to spend a lot of time burying massive amounts of high-yield hydrogen bombs, but now it only takes a warship a while to do it.

The advancement of technology has brought about a huge power gap.

It can be said that after reaching the third level of civilization, human beings truly have the power to directly shake the stars through violence, and have the ability to easily wipe out an ecosystem.

These are the forces that crush the second-level civilization.

There are no levels of civilization in the universe. It is just because after a certain technology is utilized, the civilization with this technology has the ability to crush other civilizations. Therefore, gradually, there are levels of civilization. statement.

Humanity has come step by step from level zero civilization, and this feeling is very intuitive, because the warships created with each leap can crush the previous warships.

But now after entering the third-level civilization, this feeling is more intuitive. Just from the various parameters of the manufactured sea-level battleships, one such battleship is enough to defeat the entire combat power of a second-level civilization.

The universe is not metaphysics, and there is no such thing as leapfrog counterattack. At least, humans have not yet encountered any civilization that has this ability.

In addition to being large, the new Tianqin also made innovations in the shells of the main electromagnetic rail gun, adding many third-level civilization technologies.

Take true nanotechnology for example. After years of research, humans have successfully installed ant-like nanorobots into artillery shells as warheads. In the imagined war, the projectiles would be used in nanobot warfare between enemies.

Because this kind of nanorobot has the function of cutting chemical bonds, they can easily 'melt' a hole in a battleship. Yes, it's chemical bonds, not metal bonds that are just beginning to master this technology. This is one of the manifestations of human technological progress over the years.

If some people study offensive weapons, then there must be others who study defensive weapons.

Energy weapons such as plasma and laser are protected by polarization shields, positron cannons are protected by magnetic field shields, and the electromagnetic railguns of conventional hydrogen bomb warheads also have multi-layer composite armor for defense. What about the electromagnetic guns of nanorobot swarm warheads?

The answer given by weapons experts is a swarm of repairable nanobots.

In their plan, each new warship must be equipped with a military industry department to produce various types of artillery shells and nano-repair robots, and the warship inventory must also maintain a certain number of nano-repair robots to prevent the warship from being attacked by the opponent's nano-robots. After the cannonball hits, release it to fight with the nano-robots that attach to the battleship and destroy it.

From this point, it is not difficult to see why the symbol technology of the third-level civilization is true nanotechnology. When other weapons have little effect, the point of competition between the two sides becomes true nanotechnology. Who is researching in the nano field? The deeper you go, the stronger your nanobot swarm will be, the greater your chances of winning.

Of course, the fact that human civilization is so lucky to develop alloy No. 2 materials from unknown alien civilization spacecraft is another advantage.

Time flies. One hundred years have passed, two hundred years have passed, three hundred years have passed, four hundred years have passed.

For five hundred years, mankind has used the time of "a Wuzhi Mountain" to create large space structures one after another in this red dwarf galaxy, manufacturing sea-class battleships one after another, new residential spaceships one after another, Various types of spacecraft and carriers.

It was also in this short period of five hundred years that mankind, relying on the powerful industrial productivity of the third-level civilization, finally gave the entire civilization a completely new look.

The residents moved into the new spaceship, and the administrative center and military command center of human civilization were also moved from the old Tianqin to the new Tianqin.

Brand-new spaceships, brand-new battleships, brand-new instruments and equipment, everything is brand-new.

The development of hibernation in the past five hundred years has also caused the human population to increase from 200 million to 5 billion. This growth rate seems to be very large, but in fact it is not very fast.

The most fundamental reason is still the life potion. If it were not for the limitation of the validity period of the life potion and the five hundred years of non-hibernation development period, it would certainly not be a problem for the human population to exceed 50 billion.

Based on the capacity of each sea-class residential spaceship of 500,000 people, ten thousand sea-class spaceships are enough to accommodate a population of 5 billion. Of course, in fact, a sea-level residential spaceship can accommodate more people, with the limit being about one million people. However, for the comfort of the residents, the new government feels that half a million people is appropriate.

Anyway, there are only 10,000 residential spaceships, which is nothing to humans today. After all, tens of millions of warships can be produced.
