Chapter 663 Fortress (Part 2)
Interstellar border fortresses like the Stonefish Star Fortress are the frontier positions of the Sapiens Company.
You may encounter uninvited guests from afar at any time.
That's why Zhang Yu wanted to improve the fortress's weapons and equipment as soon as possible. After all, as a military facility, the Stonefish Star Fortress could not fulfill its significance without weapons and equipment .
After receiving Zhang Yu's order, Wumuquan immediately mobilized some resources and began to produce weapons and equipment.
The first thing produced was the wave-absorbing space mine, which can absorb most of the electromagnetic waves and prevent the mine from being detected by electromagnetic radar. Its core is equipped with a neutron bomb with an equivalent of 300,000 tons.
The reason for developing a neutron bomb instead of a pure hydrogen bomb is naturally that the hydrogen bomb has limited lethality in a vacuum environment and is not as useful as a dense high-energy neutron stream.
At least neutrons are something that an ordinary first-level civilization cannot resist, especially dense high-energy neutrons.
Even if it cannot kill someone directly, it can seriously interfere with the opponent's communication and detection systems and damage some peripheral instruments and equipment.
Of course, Ebony Springs does not expect space mines to be able to deal with all enemies.
If the opponent has technologies such as magnetic field detection, gravitational wave detection, and neutrino detection, then space mines will have basically no effect.
To a certain extent, after entering the first-level civilization, due to the development of detection technology and the limitation of the speed of light bottleneck, the war between first-level civilizations will return to the mode of "shooting in line", "naval gun bombardment", and "close combat".
It is extremely difficult for a first-level civilization to launch a surprise attack on another first-level civilization.
For example, the Sapiens company planned to launch a surprise attack on the homeland of the Six-clawed Civilization because the Sapiens company had obvious advantages in many technologies.
As long as the six-clawed civilization masters the gravitational wave detection technology or the neutrino detection technology, the expedition fleet of the Homo Sapiens company could be discovered within 0.5 to 1 light-year radius of the six-clawed giant star.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the six-clawed civilization was careless and did not guard against the invasion of external forces; or simply did not have the technology to detect gravitational waves and neutrinos.
Even without gravitational wave and neutrino detection technology, the early warning radius can actually reach about 0.01 light years relying solely on electromagnetic wave detection technology.
The distance is only 0.01 light years, which is too close for a first-level civilization. It is basically being attacked face-to-face.
There is no way. At the first-level civilization stage, each first-level civilization is actually very embarrassed.
The speed of a spacecraft cannot exceed the speed of light, the speed of detection is at best the speed of light, and the means of attack are also severely limited.
There are actually very few first-level civilizations like Homo Sapiens that possess long-distance, delay-free communication technology.
The intelligent civilization that Li Qingye analyzed at the beginning destroyed 39 first-level civilizations and swallowed up the technologies of these civilizations, but none of them, including the intelligent civilization, mastered the long-distance, delay-free communication technology.
It can be seen from this that the long-distance, delay-free communication technology possessed by the Sapiens Company is also rare among the first-level civilizations.
A first-level civilization whose navigation speed, communication speed, detection speed, and attack speed are all limited by the speed of light.
Once a war breaks out, the only tactics available are the line-up shooting tactics of the classical era, or the close combat tactics.
As for launching missiles and the like, on an interstellar battlefield, it is actually the equivalent of two people shooting at each other with pistols.
After all, no matter how fast a missile is, can it be faster than electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves, neutrinos and magnetic fields?
The first-level civilizations all have mastered laser weapons to some extent, and even if they do not have mature laser weapons, they can use nuclear explosion interception technology.
This is the helplessness of interstellar war.
When the scale of both sides is stretched to the astronomical unit level, ambushes, encirclements, traps and the like will temporarily be difficult to work.
As for the aliens in European and American blockbusters, they are all brainless aliens and their behavioral logic does not conform to that of normal aliens at all.
If aliens who can travel across the galaxy to reach the solar system really want to deal with human civilization, they would not land on Earth at all. Wouldn’t it be better to launch an attack directly from outer space?
What?
You said that the aliens don't have the heart to cooperate with the life planet? In order to facilitate colonization in the future, they use the landing method?
What a joke! The ecological environment required by aliens is different from that of humans. Why do we think that aliens will protect the earth's ecological environment?
For example, the Homo sapiens expeditionary fleet that planned to attack the six-clawed giant star did not have any plan for landing operations, and its first-phase tactics were to wash the ground and burn glass.
The main means for alien civilizations to enter other planetary systems is to completely exterminate the indigenous civilization first, and then transform the conquered planets into an environment suitable for the survival of their own race.
This is actually .
Sapiens would not be so stupid as to attack a civilization by landing on a planet.
Unless the enemy's level of civilization is lower than the first level, there is no possibility of landing combat.
Due to the various restrictions of interstellar warfare, the weapons and equipment of the Stonefish Star Fortress also need to adapt to these restrictions.
For example, the recently developed super magnetic field shield can withstand most non-laser weapons.
Even a nuclear explosion at a very close distance can weaken the destructive power of the explosion.
However, the current production capacity of super magnetic field generators is very small.
So few are there currently than two experimental warships equipped with it.
The reason why the production capacity is so small lies in the core raw material of the super magnetic field generator - double neutron material.
That’s right, the core raw material of the super magnetic field generator is the double neutron material. The magnetic field generator made of this thing produces a magnetic field intensity that is 160,000 times that of the previous conventional superconducting coil.
This thing can generate a magnetic field similar to that of a neutron star.
With such a terrifying magnetic field strength, even the gravitational field will be distorted to a certain extent.
Once the super magnetic field shield is turned on, no weapons with mass currently available will be able to penetrate it.
The super magnetic field generated by the double neutron material can not only serve as a shield, but also as a magnetic field acceleration for plasma thrusters, further increasing the plasma injection speed.
Of course, the plasma thruster can be modified into a high-energy particle cannon, and the principles are the same.
Double neutron materials are indeed good things.
But the production capacity is pitifully low.
Currently, Sapiens' eight di-neutron manufacturing plants can only produce 3.4 to 3.6 kilograms of di-neutron materials each year.
The production of a small super magnetic field generator requires at least 0.8 kilograms of di-neutron material. Combined with the needs of other scientific research institutions, there is no way to equip the Stonefish Star Fortress with such good things.
