Voyage of the Stars

Land-based turrets can be made very large, which allows interstellar missiles based on magnetic thrust technology to be deployed on planetary defense.

When the human fleet launched an orbital bombardment against the twelfth planet, these mountain-like defense turrets began to roar. Countless electromagnetic forces were directly and violently accelerated by the powerful force. They easily escaped the gravity of the planet and headed straight for the human fleet in the orbit of the planet.

They are all equipped with guidance signals to identify metal targets. After arriving in space, they change direction through the propellant built into the shells to achieve the purpose of accurately hitting the target. They can be understood as an electromagnetic railgun equipped with a guidance function.

At the same time as the railgun, there were also invisible beams of light that attacked the human fleet. Yes, invisible. Since the twelfth planet is a common desolate planet, there is no atmosphere on the surface of the planet, so when the laser weapon is used, it is no different from that in space.

Their speed is faster and more accurate than land-based electromagnetic rail guns. Because they are beams, human detection systems cannot detect them at all, and the distance from the surface of the planet to the orbit of the planet is so close that human warships in orbit cannot detect them until they are discovered. His own polarization shield lit up, and he realized that the other party had opened fire.

Perhaps the interstellar trading market also knows about the existence of magnetic shields, so in terms of defensive power, positron cannons are rarely seen.

The positron cannon, a major weapon of first-level civilization, seems to have gradually withdrawn from the war stage due to the emergence of magnetic field shields. On the contrary, laser energy weapons have been vigorously developed.

This is easy to understand. After all, as long as the amount of laser energy weapons is large enough, the polarization shield can still be overloaded and collapse, but the magnetic field shield is different. It exists entirely based on the Lorentz force effect. That's it. If it is turned on, any charged particles entering the magnetic field will be deflected in other directions, and the moving speeds of charged particles are about the same, so it is not a power issue at all.

Especially in the third-level civilization, after magnetic field technology has improved again due to true nanotechnology, the threat of anti-charged particle weapons such as positrons has been reduced to the point where it is almost negligible.

Therefore, the main defense force of the twelfth planet is the land-based ultra-large electromagnetic orbiter and the land-based ultra-large laser energy cannon.

When the first round of resistance comes, you can see the twelfth planet's orbit lighting up one after another. The huge human warships facing laser energy weapons at such a close distance are actually better than moving turtles. , but this turtle shell has a shield.

Even though the blow came quickly and accurately, it only created a beautiful feast of light in the space.

This scene is really similar to the spaceship shield in science fiction movies that resists attacks. When the laser energy column from the ground hits the light curtain, it will be blocked by the polarization shield. At that moment, the photons collided fiercely at the contact point, and then spread in all directions in the form of scattering.

So from other angles, it was as if the space near the battleship suddenly lit up with a bright light for no reason, just like a big firework exploding in the dark night, and it looked very beautiful.

The basic technology of the polarization shield is the low-temperature plasma shield, which is improved from the low-temperature plasma shield and can protect against energy weapons such as lasers and plasma.

But one thing is different from science fiction movies. When the polarization shield here is in effect, it does not display a spherical light curtain commonly seen in movies and TV series, or a light curtain composed of regular hexagonal squares in the game. Nothing can be seen.

At least in the visible light band, no polarization shield can be seen.

At the moment when the laser energy weapon was blocked, the phenomenon it displayed was nothing more than: a bright light suddenly lit up in the empty space.

that is it.

Therefore, in the battle at the third-level civilization level, there is still no picture of lasers crisscrossing the starry sky like lightsabers, but just patches of undetectable and unpredictable light that suddenly lights up at a certain distance from the battleship.

This seems a bit monotonous and lacks the blood and passion of interstellar warfare, but that's the fact. Of course, from another perspective, such a battle seems even more bizarre.

This is the case with laser energy weapon firefights. This thing moves along the light cone and there is no way to detect it.

Coupled with the silent magnetic push, the orbital bombing war launched by human warships against the twelfth planet looked like a group of ghost-like warships coming to the orbit of the planet from a distance, and then adjusting their posture. , patches of light lit up around the battleship for no reason.

Other than that, there was no sign of a firefight at all.

Of course, after some time, this situation changed, because the relatively slow land-based super large electromagnetic orbital missile arrived.

Faced with these real artillery shells, humans did not dare to look down upon them. At the same time that the detectors detected them, the close-in defense guns on the sea-class warships began to rotate and position, and then shot out invisible energy beams in an attempt to Destroy the shells with unknown warheads before they hit you.

If it were a hydrogen bomb warhead, humans wouldn't be too afraid. The most it would be concentrated would be to leave a dent on the surface of the battleship's armor. What humans would be afraid of is that the warheads of these missiles are equipped with ultra-micro nanorobots.

As the saying goes, whatever you fear will come to you.

Just when some warships were actually entering orbital bombing mode, a piece of information fed back from the strong artificial intelligence attracted the attention of the command center.

A sea-class battleship was attacked by the opponent's intensive attack and broke through the close-in defense circle, causing an electromagnetic rail gun to plunge into the battleship's armor.

But the violent explosion that they imagined did not appear. In the picture returned by the strong artificial intelligence, people saw that the shell did explode after hitting the battleship armor. It was just not a hydrogen bomb explosion, but like a smoke screen. There was a fog of confusion.

A mist with metallic luster.

Silver mist!

Seeing such a scene, everyone on the Tianqin suddenly opened their eyes wide, and scenes of memories about Silver Mist immediately appeared in their minds.

It's so similar. Isn't this appearance what humans saw when they first encountered the silver mist consciousness.

But now it should be called ultra-micro nanorobots.

Under the reflection of the battlefield light, the bursting out ultra-micro nanorobots were like a silver mist, spreading out all of a sudden, and then sticking to the surface of the battleship like gangrene attached to the bone.

At this moment, they seemed to have transformed into a pool of flowing metallic liquid, quickly spreading to the surface of the battleship.

At the same time, lines of warning text were quickly refreshed on the strong artificial intelligence-controlled monitoring screen on the Tianqin.
