The strongest commander in the universe

For Lin Fan, it is not difficult to win this battle, but he needs to make more preparations and back-ups as much as possible to minimize his own casualties.

Chapter 213

After the meeting, Lin Fan took Liang Xue to the scientific research space city on the orbit of Vierras.

The person in charge here is Lin Fan's old acquaintance Bai Zixuan. After he completed the task on Ed's side, he came to Shanhaiguan with the third batch of transport fleet.

The old man had been thinking about when Lin Fan would secretly pass him a small card or something, but unfortunately after several years, there was nothing.

This made Bai Zixuan so angry that he rushed directly into Lin Fan's office, pointed at Lin Fan's nose and cursed, saying that Lin Fan obviously has such a good scientific research talent, but it was wasted!and so on.

In the end, Lin Fan, who couldn't laugh or cry, could only agree that after the Babawi Empire was settled, he must study various technologies carefully, and Bai Zixuan let him go.

Lin Fan is also very helpless, who let his system just pretend to be dead like this, and this pretending to be dead lasted for 20 years...

If the Babawi Empire is not resolved, the system will not be able to activate the official version, and will not be able to obtain more technologies.

I can only hope that this system will be better by then!

After arriving at the scientific research space city, Lin Fan brought Liang Xue directly to Bai Zixuan's laboratory.

"Old Bai!"

"Huh? What are you doing here, kid? I don't welcome you, a waste of talent!"

Seeing that it was Lin Fan, Bai Zixuan immediately started spraying!

"Bai Lao, as I said last time, I can't concentrate on scientific research until I kill the Babawi Empire! Don't worry, I will definitely concentrate on scientific research after I get rid of the Babawi Empire!"

After hearing Lin Fan's words, Bai Zixuan glared at him fiercely, and then heaved a long sigh.

"Tell me, what are you doing here?"

"Bai Lao, the first batch of vanguard fleets of the Babawi Empire are already on their way, and they will arrive in about three years. Although I have developed a complete technology, there are still a few things that need your help!"

"Tell me, what do you need, boy?"

Bai Zixuan looked at Lin Fan and said angrily.

"I need you to help me design a railgun, in the form of a turret, with small propellers to adjust the firing angle. The speed of the projectile must be at least 0.7 times the speed of light. At the same time, it must be mass-produced quickly. I need to deploy at least 1000 million guns in three years!"

"Well, why did you think you want a rail gun?"

"Isn't this a tactical requirement!"

"Okay, you boy come with me!"

After saying that, Bai Zixuan walked out, Lin Fan was stunned for a moment.

Is it still in stock?

Thinking of this, she immediately followed with Liang Xue!

Soon, under the leadership of Bai Zixuan, the three came to a large warehouse in the space city.

In this warehouse, there are all kinds of equipment, some can be seen at a glance as the predecessor of a certain weapon used by the Federation today, and some Lin Fan can't recognize what it is at all!

"Here are all the things I have studied before. Some are better, and the old ones are placed here. Some are directly eliminated because of themselves, such as the rail gun you want."

While talking, Lin Zixuan brought Lin Fan and Liang Xue to a huge device.

The first impression of this device is the naval gun on the battleship, but its shape is a bit weird. There are ten gun barrels in front, nine of which form a circle, and in the middle of this circle, there is a One gun barrel is obviously much thicker than the other nine.

"Old Bai, what is this?"

"This is what you want, a ten-barrel rail gun! This is what I designed for the fourth-level civilization shield. It can fire ten projectiles at the same time at a time, one big and nine small, and it can guarantee ten projectiles. It hits in a very small area at the same time. And the speed of the projectile can reach 0.99 times the speed of light. You only need to install a few more attitude control devices that can adjust the attitude, and it can perfectly meet your needs!"

"Old Bai, why don't you take out such a good thing!"

Lin Fan's eyes lit up when he heard Bai Zixuan's words, what a good thing!

One shot of this thing can definitely reach the standard of a fourth-level civilization!

"Do you think I'm willing to eat ashes here for the things I've worked so hard to research? Do you think humans still support rail guns?"

"Uh……"

Lin Fan scratched his head in embarrassment.

Indeed, no one in today's Federation will support the development of rail guns. After all, this thing has always been said to be used only by low-level civilizations (referring to 1-3 level civilizations), and after level [-] civilization, energy weapons are the mainstream and future. Direction of development!

Therefore, not to mention the Orca-class battleships, even the previous Snow Leopard-class battlecruisers have not installed rail guns!

"Bai Lao, is this rail gun system convenient for mass production?"

"No problem. With the current production capacity of the Shanhaiguan Theater, it is trivial to produce 1000 million units a year. After all, the technical content of this thing is very low for the current Federation! Even many current civilian production lines can be used to manufacture after adjustment!"

"Okay, Liang Xue, you are responsible for this matter, arrange someone to connect with Mr. Bai, and get the production line moving as soon as possible!"

"okay, I get it!"

"By the way, Bai Lao, can I take this one out to test the power? After all, I know the power of the geometry, so I can better arrange tactics!"

Lin Fan stepped forward, stretched out his right hand and touched the pitch-black barrel, then turned to Bai Zixuan and asked.

"Okay, I'll arrange a group of people to cooperate with you in the test!"

"Okay, excuse me, Bai Lao!"

Bai Zixuan glanced at Lin Fan, waved his hand impatiently, then left the two of them and walked out by himself.

Lin Fan and Liang Xue smiled wryly.

This old man is still the same!

The next day, with the support of a technical team sent by Bai Zixuan, the railgun that had been sitting in the warehouse for more than ten years was pulled out again and sent to the test airspace.

And 1 astronomical unit away, there is an Orca-class battleship on standby. Of course, there is no one on board, it just stops there and opens the shield!

"Commander, the pre-launch inspection of the rail gun has been completed, and the test can begin at any time!"

"Okay, let's start, aim at the target ship for the first round of shooting!"

"Yes... the target ship is aimed at, the distance is 1 AU, and the countdown is 3 seconds before shooting... 2... 1... Shoot!"

Just like the fleet forming an attack formation, the ten projectiles also form a neat shape, shooting towards the target at 0.99 times the speed of light!

"Commander, the rail gun has been launched and is expected to hit the target in 9 minutes and 52 seconds!"

"Okay, keep monitoring, and immediately report the damage to the energy shield of the target ship after hitting it!"

"Yes, Commander!"

After 9 minutes and 52 seconds, ten projectiles hit the target ship accurately, causing waves on its shield!

Chapter 214 Star Cannon

Ten projectiles, one big and nine small, hit the Orca-class battleship as the target ship directly at a speed infinitely close to the speed of light, causing waves on the energy shield.

It stands to reason that the rail gun is definitely not so powerful, and it can make the energy shield of the Orca-class battleship make waves.

According to what Bai Zixuan said before, the ten rail launch ports of this new type of rail gun are specially arranged to ensure that ten projectiles collide at the same time, and the energy formed by the collision will resonate with each other, which will affect the energy shield. Cause great damage.

"Commander, the target ship sent back information, and the energy shield is depleted by 12%!"

The testers were also very excited when they reported. They didn't expect this old-fashioned weapon to have such power. Should it be said that it is the chief scientist of mankind, Bai Zixuan Bailao?

"Okay, how soon can I shoot again?"

Lin Fan listened to the tester's report, nodded in satisfaction, and continued to ask.

"Because physical ammunition is used, the ammunition needs to be reloaded after firing, and the reloading speed is about 15 seconds, but at present, this railgun is loaded on a battleship, and there is no problem with charging, but if it runs independently, It needs to be provided with a powerful energy source!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan frowned, this is a big problem!

I can't install a nuclear fusion reactor for every rail gun, it's too ridiculous.

How else would you power the railgun?

Wait, there it is!Lycra crystals, yes, use Lycra crystals (the energy crystals of the Lycra Empire, named by humans as Lycra crystals)!

The Lycra crystals have been specially tested before. After each one is full of energy, it can provide an Orca-class battleship of the Federation for a high-intensity battle.

If it is only used on a new rail gun system, it can definitely be used for many years, and it is still under heavy use!

Besides, there is a huge reserve of this thing in the Lycra capital circle, and almost every resource star has a huge reserve. According to the results of exploration, there are at least 10 trillion Lycra crystal deposits in the entire Lycra capital circle.

As for the purchase price of Federal Lycra, it is quite cheap, only 10 points per one, which is no different from grabbing for nothing.

Today, the annual mining volume of the Lycra Empire is about [-] million, and [-]% of it will be acquired by the Federation. So far, the Federation has acquired more than hundreds of millions of Lycra crystals.

"Is it feasible to use Lycra crystal as an energy source?"

Lin Fan asked the tester, after all, he is not a professional, and he still needs to be confirmed by a professional before he can rest assured!

"Commander, it's absolutely fine to use Lycra crystals, but we don't have Calais crystals here, and we need to deploy them from the earth!"

"You don't have to worry about this! Liang Xue, help me contact the earth. I need a large number of Lycra crystals. Let them prepare 5000 million for me!"

"understand!"

"Look, the problem is solved!"

After ordering Liang Xue, Lin Fan turned his head and looked at the tester with a smile!

The tester and several of his assistants were in a daze for a while, 5000 million Lycra crystals seemed to be just a matter of words in the eyes of the commander!

And it's enough to ask the deputy to notify, and I'm too lazy to come forward?

Is this the boss of the interstellar era?

"Okay, I'm back to my senses. After you go back to the scientific research city, talk to Bai Lao! The Lycra crystal will be delivered in a few months, let him modify the energy system, and at the same time use what I told him before for posture Design the thrusters that are controlled, and then mass production can begin!"

"Okay, Commander, is there anything else I need to tell you?"

"No, that's it!"

Lin Fan will not admit it, the reason why he asked you to tell the story is because he is afraid that he will be sprayed by Bai Zixuan again in the past!

After speaking, he took Liang Xue and left immediately.

After finishing the matter of the rail gun, Lin Fan took Liang Xue to check the construction progress of the star defense network. After all, this is also one of the important means of this battle.

The so-called starry sky defense network is composed of tens of millions of fixed defense platforms and a starry sky cannon.

The structure of the entire defense network is an extremely complex three-dimensional network structure, with a total of 1380 million nodes, and each node is a fixed defense platform.

【Fixed defense platform (remote control type)】

Level: Defense Platform

Tonnage: 20 tons

Hull size: 382 meters long, 235 meters wide, 120 meters high

Main weapon: Triple-mounted 15m caliber plasma cannon, quantity 1

Secondary weapon: double-mounted 3m caliber positron cannon, quantity 4

Melee weapons: rapid-fire electromagnetic catapult gun, quantity 16

Other weapons: multi-purpose missile silos, quantity 128

Defense device: third-generation energy shield

Number of passengers: None (remote control type)

It can be seen from the data that the so-called defense platform is actually a small warship that cannot move without an engine.

It has a triple-mounted plasma cannon on a killer whale-class battleship and 4 dual-mounted positron cannons, which can be said to have such a good attack capability!

Although compared with the Orca-class battleships, the firepower of a single unit is still far behind, but the key is that the number is sufficient. The entire star defense network has a total of 1380 million defense platforms.

Although this is already very powerful, the defense platform is not the focus of the starry sky defense network. The real core is the starry sky cannon.

And its real name is [nuclear explosion-induced gamma ray launcher], which is a long-range gamma ray cannon, which belongs to the early stage of the fifth-level civilization, and is generally used as a fortress gun in an important stronghold.

This is a weapon of mass destruction in the interstellar era. Once fired, there will be absolutely no survivors left on the ray with a diameter of about 200 kilometers, and even an energy shield can't even try to block it.

But the disadvantages are also great. This weapon recharges extremely slowly, and can only be fired every 10 minutes.

In addition, the size of the Star Cannon is also very large, almost the size of ten battleships. Therefore, there must be a large number of battleship escorts to keep the enemy out of range at all times, so that they cannot attack the Star Cannon. Otherwise, the Star Cannon will never be able to attack. There is no possibility of a second shot!

Normally, a level [-] civilization can’t afford the Star Cannon. After all, the energy consumption of this thing is too terrifying. Even if you deploy dozens or hundreds of nuclear fusion reactors, they can’t keep up with the energy required for charging. .
