It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

It is like a bulging pustule, standing extremely abruptly on the huge plain.

The gurgling lava slowly flows out of the crater, unscrupulously showing to others how active the planet's core is.

A mineral exploration ship draws a graceful curve and descends towards its mountainside.

According to Hansent, they should land directly near the crater, which is the most efficient way.

But Hope turned down the offer without hesitation.

According to the information provided by the Academy of Sciences, this is an active volcano, and there is a possibility of eruption at any time-this can be seen from the continuous lava gushing out of the crater.

He didn't want this new spaceship to challenge the power of nature!

So... the two drove the mineral exploration vehicle, set off from the mountainside, and headed towards the crater.

……

"The composition of the magma is slightly different from that of the earth." Hansent skillfully operated the instruments in the car and completed the sampling and inspection work. "It's almost the same, it's basically a silicate composition."

"Slightly higher levels of heavy metals."

"This should be considered good news." Hansen said with a smile, "After such a long time, there should be some heavy metal minerals near this volcano."

Hope nodded, and carefully manipulated the mechanical arm to grab a yellow solid.

"sulfur."

Hansen glanced at it, and said again: "It seems that there are a lot of reserves, and the Academy of Sciences should be quite interested in these."

Hope rigorously analyzed the composition of the yellow solid.

"Not only sulfur, but also some chlorides and sulfides."

"These volcanoes can provide a lot of industrial supplies to the People's Federation."

While sampling, the two drove the vehicle along the route of the magma flow.

"and many more."

Hope's eyes lit up and he stepped on the brakes.

Before Hansen could speak, he controlled the manipulator again to complete a series of samples.

"Copper, nickel, and a little gold."

"Preparing to detect reserves, I have a hunch, this is a big guy!"

……

【Earth】

Perhaps it was because Lu Yongchang's proposal inspired Tao Yuda.

In the next few days, Tao Yuda kept frowning, as if he was thinking about something.

Lu Yongchang was also happy to see such a scene.

He is only one person after all.

Even with the help of the technology tree system, he can only bring the most cutting-edge technological progress to human civilization.

As for other various branch technologies, they all have to be completed by other scientists.

Plasma Cannons are not difficult to craft.

With several key technologies being resolved, the first generation of plasma cannons was quickly produced.

And the new starship carrying the plasma cannon was naturally formed at the same time.

After the assembly was completed, the new warship named [Battering Ram] came to the weapon testing site under Zero's control.

It is said that it is a weapon testing site, but it is actually a space far away from the human fleet and Dawn Star.

The target of the experiment was naturally the [Golden Crow] battleship that was equipped with a magnetic field shield and a plasma shield.

In front of the [Golden Crow] battleship with a body size of more than 1500 meters, the [Battering Ram], which is only 500 meters long, does not seem to be very eye-catching.

At least, at first glance, the two do not belong to the same order of magnitude.

"Let's start the experiment."

Lu Yongchang stood in front of the holographic projection and issued an order: "The battering ram releases the drone swarm."

The side of the [battering ram] of the cylinder suddenly cracked four huge openings.

That was the "port" of the battering ram.

Numerous small drones equipped with magnetic shield generating units swarmed out of it.

Under Zero's control, these drones quickly moved towards the front of [Battering Ram].

Small in size and unmanned, the mobility of these drone groups has been improved to the extreme.

In just a few seconds, a small number of drones arrived at their positions.

The next moment, the magnetic field shield generation unit starts.

An invisible gun barrel made of strong magnetic field appeared in front of [Battering Ram].

As for the other drones, they turned on the magnetic field shield, and slowly circled around the [battering ram] and the barrel.

Their main function is to provide some only defense for this high attack and low defense fighter.

In addition, they can also replenish the loss of the "barrel" under enemy attacks at any time.

Chapter 440 The Power of "Battering Ram"

[Battering Ram] is not used to attack those scattered magnetic shields.

From the beginning of its design, it was positioned as a strategic weapon that can win with one blow.

Therefore, in the face of the coming attack, Lu Yongchang did not hesitate, and directly issued an order.

"[Golden Crow] activates the plasma shield."

After the words fell, the light of the Hall thruster at the tail of the [Golden Crow] battleship dimmed for a moment.

A large amount of energy is quickly directed to the magnetic field generating unit.

At the same time, the rear hatch quickly opened, and blue high-temperature plasma spewed out from it. Under the action of the magnetic field, these plasmas were like a layer of eggshell, covering the entire [Golden Crow] battleship up.

This is the strongest defensive state of the [Golden Crow] battleship.

Before the [battering ram] appeared, even the human fleet itself needed a lot of effort to break through this "tortoise shell".

"Professor, [Battering Ram] is ready and ready to attack at any time."

Zero's reminder sounded in the office.

"Start the attack!"

Lu Yongchang said in a deep voice.

……

Following Lu Yongchang's order, a dazzling light shone in the dark and deep universe.

In the [Battering Ram], a large number of nuclear fusion reactors, which are enough to drive three [Golden Crow] battleships, are fully powered at this moment!

All the energy generated rushes towards the front muzzle of the [Battering Ram]!

At the muzzle, a faint blue light began to appear.

next moment!

Before everyone could react, endless plasma spewed out from the muzzle!

Under the strong magnetic field channel built by the drone, these plasmas are constantly accelerating!accelerate!accelerate! !

A full hundred kilometers of acceleration pipes allowed these high-temperature plasmas to reach an unimaginable speed!

Like a faint blue lightning, this dark blue plasma column with a diameter of 100 meters spewed out from the invisible gun barrel constructed by the magnetic field.

At the same time, the light of the Hall propulsion device at the tail of the [Battering Ram] gradually went out.

The hull near the muzzle even showed some deformation!

Part of the remaining faint blue plasma, carrying a golden light, slowly seeps out from the surface of the hull, destroying the not-so-solid hull.

It's scrapped.

Under such an overloaded operation, it can only fire the only one shell in its life!

But no one cares about that.

Everyone's attention is on the "swan song" it issued!

In an instant, a faint blue "lightning" blasted on the light blue plasma shield near the [Golden Crow] battleship!

At the beginning, due to the impact of a large amount of foreign plasma, the color of the plasma shield suddenly became darker by a large amount.

From the original light blue, it turned into an overloaded dark blue.

Of course, this is only a short moment.

In the next moment, the overloaded magnetic field shield generation units chose to strike collectively—they were overloaded.

At the beginning, the plasma orbiting around the [Golden Crow] was thrown out in a tangential direction because it lost the restraint of the magnetic field.

Against the backdrop of the depths and darkness of the universe, these plasmas form a brilliant picture.

At this time, the [Golden Crow] battleship is like a "hedgehog" with fried hair.

However, unlike normal hedgehogs, the spikes on this large "hedgehog" are all extremely powerful plasma.

This is far from over.

There is even more than half of the powerful plasma column from [Battering Ram] left!

After the magnetic field shield generation unit went on strike, the remaining plasma column rushed straight towards the [Golden Crow] battleship!

[Golden Crow] without a magnetic field shield can only pin its hopes on its thick armor.

Obviously.

For a plasma column with a diameter of [-] meters, this thick armor is no different from paper paste.

The faint blue plasma column almost didn't stagnate at all, and directly sank into the head of the [Golden Crow] battleship!

After a short wait, a small amount of plasma spewed out from the tail of 【Golden Crow】.

Penetrating injury!

A group of powerful explosion flames appeared in the dim universe.

Spike! !

Although [Battering Ram] only made one attack, the power of this attack deeply shocked the hearts of everyone in the laboratory.

……

"hiss……"

Tao Yuda, who was standing beside Lu Yongchang, took a deep breath.

"How is it? The power is not bad, right?" Lu Yongchang turned his head and said with a smile.

"Yes, it's pretty good." Tao Yuda responded with a somewhat awkward nod.

"Unfortunately, it can only attack once." Speaking of this, Tao Yuda glanced regretfully at the [battering ram] that had been turned into a large piece of scrap iron, "If we can have more powerful materials, maybe we can ..."

"No need."

Lu Yongchang said softly.

"What?" Tao Yuda was stunned, unable to react for a while.

"During the construction of the battering ram, I specially reduced its armor thickness and hull strength." Lu Yongchang shrugged and said nonchalantly, "In the design, it is a one-time weapon."

"That, even with stronger, stronger materials, won't change."

"Why, why?" Tao Yuda couldn't accept such a statement.

At the beginning, he thought all this was for the pursuit of higher attack power.

But Lu Yongchang's statement completely vetoed his guess.

"Why?" Lv Yongchang chuckled, "Do you think, in a real interstellar war, the other party will let this thing fire a second shot?"
