The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 349 Rocket
The dozens of egg-shaped projectiles that slid out of the spacecraft did not just fall into No Man's Sky, but were sandwiched between two metal sticks about 30 meters long.

This chopstick-like metal stick is a photon torpedo launch aid, with a magnetic force field induction coil wrapped around it, and a launch assist gas device to stabilize the projectile, adjust the trajectory, and provide the initial launch power.

With the mothership's reactor running slowly, majestic energy poured into the interior of the launch aid, without any sound and light effects, the egg-shaped projectile just bounced off suddenly and entered the deep space.

Every time a projectile is launched, the sterilizer on the launch assist device will carry out a rapid sterilization and reload the ammunition-from a distance, the tower-shaped mother ship of the Chitauri looks like an old hen , laying eggs continuously.

Once the egg-shaped projectile is 200 meters away from the launcher, its automatic control program will take over the flight lock control system. After a "bang", the egg-shaped shell is ejected, exposing the photon in the center, which is similar to a flat space shuttle. torpedo.

That's right, the photon torpedo is not a torpedo in the narrow sense. It is not the usual thin and long cylindrical shape, but the shape of a space shuttle - there are no auxiliary wings, but there are five jet tubes at the tail.

After the shell is ejected, a blue particle beam is ejected from the end of the jet tube, and the energy battery inside the torpedo supports the coil outside the torpedo, forming a miniature force field, which enables the torpedo to accelerate rapidly, even at 3/4 the speed of light The sublight speed keeps going at high speed.

Dozens of photon torpedoes are advancing rapidly at 3/4 the speed of light.

With such a high speed, they are naturally not allowed to make any coquettish tactical moves. They can only spread out as much as possible at the beginning of acceleration, so that the opponent cannot intercept all the torpedoes at once.

At this moment, the distance between Li Ang and the Chitauri mothership is 2 light-seconds, and he just stands in the space calmly, as if fully aware of his own destiny, maintaining the innocence brought about by ignorance .

On the command bridge of the mothership, the Chitauri soldiers held their breath and watched the big screen nervously and expectantly.

They must succeed!Rebels must die!

Amidst the prayers of the Chitauri soldiers, the automatic flight lock control program of the photon torpedo dragged these terrifying weapons capable of destroying the surface of the planet, constantly closing the distance to Leon.

The killing radius of the three photon torpedoes is enough to cover the entire continental plate of the earth. Even if there is no air in space to expand the shock wave, the photon torpedo can use the pure destructive energy to destroy all matter within thousands of kilometers or tens of thousands of kilometers. Collapsing and cracking.

Now, the Chitauri shoots 59.

With such a high price, even General Chitauri felt heartbroken. The Chitauri themselves do not have the ability to produce photon torpedoes. Whether it is the sub-light speed engine or other supporting equipment, they all come from that great existence.

The photon torpedoes obtained by the Chitauri Legion are also limited, and one less is used.

In most cases, photon torpedoes will be used on the vast interstellar battlefield within 10 light seconds, or "close kiss" level battles within 3 light seconds, and occasionally used against an entire planet "Extinction Order".

"So many photon torpedoes are all used on the individual life of an old hat planet that has not yet left the star system"

A low-ranking officer on the bridge murmured, "What a pity."

No one responded, and the entire bridge remained in a frighteningly oppressive silence.

Under the action of the sub-light speed engine, there are 59 torpedoes in total, but 59 tail flames are not dragged out. Only the light of the stars in the extreme distance is pulled and distorted into mottled light spots when they pass by the torpedoes, as if shining on glass crystals. same as above.

However, Li Ang simply opened his eyes in the face of this weapon capable of cleaning the planet's surface on a large scale.

The phantom of the Candle Dragon God appeared behind him, and Li Ang, who temporarily borrowed the visual power of the time gem, successfully saw the essence of some things that only four-dimensional creatures could see.

The killing part of the photon torpedo is located in the warhead, and its killing principle still relies on the huge energy torrent generated when matter contacts antimatter.

However, the advantage of the photon torpedo is that it can sail fast at a sub-light speed of 3/4. Even in the turbulent and ever-changing interstellar ship battlefield, it is also a super speed that is beyond the dust—large ships It is impossible to make tactical evasion actions at the speed of light. You can only use shields to resist damage, or find a way to intercept them with the same sub-light speed weapons, and the latter is as difficult as reaching the sky.

Only precision-guided weapons that can enter sub-light speed orbits can be called strategic weapons.

Li Ang, who temporarily had four-dimensional biological vision, used a mysterious state of divine clarity to remotely flip through the photon torpedoes that hadn't rushed in front of him.
Analyze its design principle, killing method, projectile design structure, and a series of information.

"I see,"

Li Ang muttered to himself and said with a smile: "At the top of the warhead, there are six frozen heavy hydrogen structural support plates, and an antimatter storage is suspended in the center of the heavy hydrogen structural support plates.

The micro-fusion starter on the outside of the projectile, under the energy supply of the projectile engine, generates six completely equal magnetic holes, which are matched with the anti-deuterium suspension to protect the antimatter storage.

Once the warhead is commanded, the antideuterium suspension slides into the empty slot, causing the antimatter reservoir to rupture.

The energy of the contact between matter and antimatter will initially be confined in the center of the projectile by a strong magnetic field, and then released suddenly, resulting in extremely terrifying lethality. "

He looked at the photon torpedo approaching at sub-light speed as if he was looking at a round pebble on the beach.

"These Chitauri are using the wrong method."

Li Ang shook his head and sighed: "The real value of the photon torpedo lies not in the antimatter explosive device at its warhead, but in its propulsion engine.

The sub-light speed engine that can travel at 3/4 the speed of light is the most valuable part of the torpedo itself. "

His sigh dissipated in the lonely vacuum, like a clear spring melting into the deep night.

The real world does not depend on human will, in the expectant eyes of Chitauri soldiers, in the bewildered eyes of Earth residents (they don't even know what happened in space, only a few organizations such as S.H.I.E.L.D. Observing the scene on the back of Schwarzschild's throat), in Li Ang's calm eyes, the photon torpedo rushed to a distance of [-] kilometers in front of him.

In the next second, the automatic control system of the photon torpedo will eject the anti-deuterium suspension into the empty slot, guiding the majestic energy to tear everything in front of it.

In the eyes of everyone, Li Ang smiled and disappeared.

To be more precise, he appeared in front of a certain photon torpedo, stretching out his palm and gently stroking this strategic weapon.

"Boom, boom, boom."

He tapped on the outer armor of the torpedo, like dismembering a crab, and quickly disassembled the solid metal shell of the torpedo, exposing the complicated internal instrument structure.

"The vacuum zero-point energy extraction device and the sublight speed curvature engine are really a great gift."

Li Ang raised his head, smiled at the Chitauri mothership far away, and muttered to himself, "Thank you for the super rocket sent by the alien veteran."
