Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

Because the internal and external structures are different, the void shield is not internal defense.

When the shield resists external firepower, the shipborne weapons inside the shield can fire freely without being affected.

This is the power of the void shield.

But the void shield also has a weakness, that is, it cannot defend against slow weapons.

For example, torpedoes with a relatively slow speed cannot be defended against missiles.

Of course, most torpedoes and missiles are relatively fast.

Void shields are basically capable of defending against any type of weapon, barring some specific weapons against void shields.

As soon as the fleet opened fire, the merchant ships also started heading home.

After all, it is an armed merchant ship of a star family, and its firepower is not weak.

Due to the large size of the ship, although it is only a merchant ship, it has a larger caliber blaster.

It's just that the number of weapons on board is not as good as that of the warships of the Sayaha Pirates.

In the dark starry sky, blue blaster beams and missiles fly past and cross each other.

The hulls of the ships of the two fleets suddenly burst into clusters of flames.

Because the ships on both sides are protected by shields, although the shipboard weapons have suffered losses, the hulls are basically unaffected.

Knowing that they were invincible, the merchant ship opened fire in self-defense while fleeing deep into the starry sky.

The fleet of the Sayaha Pirates followed closely behind.

The warships of the Sayaha Pirates are smaller but faster.

Although the ships of the Apocalypse are known for their speed, the larger the ship, the greater the mass.

The greater the mass, the longer it will take to continue accelerating.

The final speed of the Sayaha Pirates fleet may not be comparable to the merchant ships of the Apocalypse.

But before the merchant ship can accelerate to the limit, they will be overtaken.

In less than two hours, in the dark starry sky, the Apocalypse merchant ship was caught up.

The two sides are so close that they can be seen with the naked eye.

"Launch the phase fork, quick!"

Seeing that the opponent has entered the attack range of the phase fork, Sayaha hastily issued an attack order.

Following Sayaha's order, outside, the bows of each ship opened a black hole.

In the next moment, the arc in the muzzle flickered.

A huge harpoon shot out with a rope.

Its speed was so fast that it covered a distance of more than ten miles in an instant, and hit the hull of the merchant ship.

The shield was pierced directly, the armor was pierced directly, and the harpoon penetrated into it.

The hit rate of the phase fork is extremely high, out of fifteen warships, none of them missed.

Five phase forks are inserted into the hull of each merchant ship, and the ropes are tightly bound.

Looking from outside, in the dark starry sky.

Three merchant ships about 2000 meters long dragged fifteen warships forward.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer.

Even so, the merchant ship still did not give up.

There are only a few shipborne weapons left on the hull that are still attacking.

Seeing that the opponent was still attacking, Sayaha became angry.

"Call the other party, let them surrender, and catch them without a fight. We won't hurt the lives of the people on board, otherwise, we will bear the consequences!"

The opponent has only three merchant ships, while the other side has fifteen warships.

The obvious difference in combat power, if they really want to destroy merchant ships.

With the weak shield of the merchant ship, it can't last for 10 minutes.

"Damn Apocalypse Clan..."

Sayaha cursed involuntarily.

If it were people of other races, they would have surrendered honestly.

Only the proud Tianqi tribe can be so tenacious.

The threats seem to have worked.

Soon, the three merchant ships stopped firing one after another.

Soon after, the rear engine also went out.

Even the shields were off.

Obviously, the Apocalypse on the merchant ship has realized that they cannot escape.

If you continue, the shield will be broken in a short time.

Seeing this, Sayaha breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Apocalypse Clan is stubborn and unwilling to surrender, they will go on a rampage.

He could only make an example of others by destroying one of the merchant ships and frightening the other two.

"Immediately send people to land, be careful, and be fully armed. If anyone resists, they will be executed on the spot."

Wang said, try not to cause killing, but he didn't say that killing should not be done.

Although the opponent has surrendered voluntarily, the chance of resistance is very small.

But nothing is absolute.

Maybe some stunned young man became impulsive because of his hatred of pirates.

And what he has to do is very simple, to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

Once there, kill the source in the cradle.

With a good start, in the following days, the Sayaha Pirates got busy.

While the Sayaha Pirates were busy plundering the merchant ships of the Augustus family, Li Meng was not idle either.

Taking advantage of the big event, Li Meng went back to Qiwuxing for a trip.

Qi Wuxing, the North Pole.

In the northern part of the biosphere there is a frozen lake.

Although it has never thawed, there is a body of water under the ice.

The area of ​​the ice lake is very large, occupying one-third of the entire Arctic area.

The deepest water depth exceeds [-] meters.

In the dim water, a pyramid spaceship lay quietly on the bottom of the lake.

It is not alone, some metal buildings have been built around the spaceship.

A long underwater elevator connects the bottom of the water to the ice.

And on the ice layer, a boxy fortress can be seen.

At this time, in the pyramid spaceship at the bottom of the lake.

"Wang, the super-light space that this dimensional submarine sails is a very magical dimensional space, similar to subspace, but relatively low-level. We have already analyzed the working principle of the dimensional engine of this spaceship. Similar, but with a different frequency."

"The speed of navigating in the dimensional space is faster than the ordinary super-light space, but not much faster. Compared with the existing, most advanced jump engine, its speed is about 5.7 times, but this is not a lot The limit of the jump engine, with the advancement of technology, the speed of the aircraft in the jump space will only become faster and faster, and the limit of the dimensional submarine is here, no matter how it develops, it cannot increase the speed."

On the bridge, Li Meng was listening to Donald's report.

Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Li Meng's eyes.

Li Meng remembered Caesar's saying that the speed of the dimensional jump engine is a hundred times that of the ordinary jump engine.

It seemed that it was just an exaggeration, but he really believed it.

In his image, the speed of this dimensional submarine is very fast.

After all, Lilith's teacher drove it across thousands of light years to the S star area.

Although warp space travel is also fast, the randomness is too strong.

Occasionally fast, and occasionally slow as a tortoise.

For the future of the empire, it is necessary to find a technology that can travel through the stars at a faster speed.

Seeming to have thought of something, Li Meng asked, "Donald, is it possible to do this with wormhole jump technology?"

Wormhole jump?

After pondering for a while, Donald shook his head and said: "It is possible in theory, but it is impossible in reality, because wormholes are fixed in the space we are in, and new wormholes cannot be created. Even if new wormholes can be created, where will the other end go? It's out of control, too."

Won't wormhole jump work too?

Li Meng remembered that there was a game that seemed to have the technology of wormhole jump.

But the time was too long, and Li Meng couldn't remember it for a while.

However, in that game, even with a wormhole jump engine, it is impossible to go to the designated star field at any time.

It just omits the star gate, making the spacecraft itself a star gate.

"My lord, there is no such thing as the technology to quickly travel through the starry sky. In the old empire period, the Eldar had a technology that could quickly travel in the galaxy. They called it the "webway". There have been studies, if we can control the webway, we can quickly travel through the starry sky and reach any destination."
