Chapter 676 Launch!
February 3, Xinghe 29th year.
Solar System, Neptune.
Nearly a year has passed since the Space Reconnaissance Department discovered the escape of the six-clawed man.
At this time, the super particle collider on the ring of Neptune has completed its weaponization transformation with the help of tens of thousands of senior engineers and a large number of nanorobots.
In order to ensure that the magnetic field confinement strength of the annular vacuum tube is sufficient to restrain the raging double-neutron shells, Sapiens Company invested 866 kilograms of double-neutron materials into the renovation project.
These 866 kilograms of double-neutron material enable the magnetic field confinement strength of the annular vacuum tube to reach an astonishing 122,000 Tesla.
This is also the key to weaponizing particle colliders.
Without a magnetic field of such intensity, not only would it be impossible to firmly bind the double-neutron cannon projectiles, but there would also be no way to accelerate the double-neutron cannon projectiles to their limit.
You know, in order to increase the lethality of the double-neutron shells, its speed must be increased to the extreme.
99.99% and 99.999% of the speed of light may seem to be almost the same, but in fact the latter requires slightly more than 11 times the energy of the former.
That is to say, when the speed of a particle reaches 99%, the energy required will increase 10 times for every additional 9 after the decimal point.
In order to start up this particle cannon, Sapiens spent more than half a year and mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources to increase the company's total power generation by 127 times.
How big is the scale of this power generation?
This is roughly equivalent to 0.23% of the total solar radiation power, which is a very large scale.
You should know that the amount of solar radiation received by the earth every hour is approximately equivalent to 170 megawatts, which is only one 2.2 billionth of the total solar radiation.
At this time, the total power generation capacity of the Sapiens Company is equivalent to 0.23% of the total solar radiation, which is definitely a very large order of magnitude.
Although it is necessary to maintain about one percent of the power generation capacity to maintain the company's people's livelihood and normal production and life, such a huge total amount is enough to accelerate a double neutron shell to its limit.
The head of the Space Defense Department, accompanied by Li Qingye and others' synchronized robots, appeared in Neptune's affiliated space city.
Li Qingye looked at Dr. Yuri who was providing technical support: "Doctor, the energy supply system of the particle cannon should be usable now, right?"
“Mr. Chairman, the energy supply system has now completed 83% of long-distance transmission connections.”
Li Qingye's eyes flashed with thought, and then he made up his mind. He turned his head and ordered: "Don't pursue perfection, you can use quantity instead of quality."
The head of the Space Defense Department immediately understood Li Qingye's idea and nodded: "Yes, I will arrange the attack immediately!"
"Well! Let's get started!"
With Li Qingye's order, the entire Neptune Particle Cannon project entered the final launch stage.
A double neutron shell is placed in a vacuum tube and firmly confined in mid-air by a magnetic field.
Then the muzzle of the firing gun began to slowly adjust the muzzle according to the star map, the speed of light, and the movement speed of the six-clawed expeditionary fleet, aiming at the speeding six-clawed expeditionary fleet.
The reason for choosing to destroy the six-clawed people's expeditionary fleet first was naturally to cut the grass at its roots and avoid any accidents during the voyage.
In order to completely bury the six-clawed people's expeditionary fleet, the Neptune particle cannon will use ultra-low power to fire hundreds of millions of double neutron shells.
Although the number of double-neutron shells is terrifying, in fact, hundreds of millions of double-neutron shells add up to less than a few nanograms.
In the circular vacuum pipe of the Neptune particle cannon, the super magnetic field accelerators were rapidly injected with huge amounts of energy.
In less than 14 seconds, the first double-neutron shell was ejected from the muzzle of the particle cannon.
At this time, the route with the muzzle pointing in the direction of the six-clawed giant star had been completely cleared. Even the Homo sapiens fleet that was going to confront the six-clawed expeditionary fleet head-on had adjusted its route a few months ago to avoid appearing in the flight path of the double neutron shells.
After launching the first double neutron shell.
The particle cannon management department continuously fired double neutron shells in groups of 10,000 , with an interval of 50 seconds between each group.
These double neutron shells travel through the vast void at a speed of 99.999999...% of the speed of light.
From time to time, faint flashes appeared in the void. That was the collision between the super magnetic field of the double neutron cannon and the stardust particles along the way during its flight.
Of course, the speed of the double neutron cannon at this time was too amazing, and coupled with its own strong magnetic field, those stardust particles could not weaken the speed of the double neutron cannon, and there was no way to change its trajectory.
Unless it encounters a relatively large mass of material aggregate, the double neutron projectile will not stop flying and deviate from its trajectory.
The magnetic field of a single double-neutron projectile is roughly the size of a basketball and is very condensed.
Its destructive power is extremely terrifying. Once hit, it can cause destructive power equivalent to 30,000 tons of TNT.
If there is only one, then it does not pose much threat to planets.
But the Neptune particle cannon can fire hundreds of millions of particles.
Moreover, the double-neutron shells have another characteristic, which is their unparalleled penetrating power.
Conventional material armor has no way to resist double neutron shells. Unless the armor is several hundred kilometers thick and is made of high-strength alloy, it may be able to block low-energy double neutron shells.
If the Neptune particle cannon fires high-energy double-neutron shells at full capacity, even if the thickness is tens of thousands of kilometers, it will not be able to withstand it and will be penetrated instantly.
Therefore, the energy level of the double neutron projectile is not the higher the better, but it needs to be reasonably calculated based on the size of the target.
It does not need to penetrate completely, just about halfway into the target is needed to cause huge damage.
Magnetic field deflection shields and the like actually don't have much defensive effect against near-light-speed double-neutron projectiles.
Sapiens has conducted relevant tests.
As long as the speed of the double neutron cannon shell exceeds 99.999% of the speed of light , the 150,000 Tesla-level deflection shield with the strongest magnetic field strength currently provided by Sapiens Company will not be able to deflect the double neutron cannon shell.
To deflect a double neutron projectile of this energy level, the magnetic field strength would have to be increased to 1 million Tesla.
And the double neutron shell of this energy level is just a small matter among particle cannons.
Even the Sapiens company, which has a super magnetic field deflection shield, has no way to defend against low-energy double neutron shells. The Sapiens company does not believe that the six-clawed people can develop a magnetic field deflection shield that exceeds 1 million Tesla.
As the Neptune particle cannon continued to fire double neutron shells.
The double neutron shells carrying terrifying energy were rapidly flying towards the six-clawed people's expedition fleet.
The six-clawed people's expedition fleet did not know at this time that the god of death was on the way and approaching them at nearly the speed of light.
