Voyage of the Stars

The weapon design department predicts that this weapon, which is still in the concept stage, has great prospects. Its general design idea is to use antimatter as fuel to provide energy, and the grand unified force field as the direct driving force. The warhead is also composed of antimatter.

In general, it is an antimatter kinetic weapon.

Originally, when it was initially designed, weapon experts only thought that it should be a fourth-level civilization version of an electromagnetic railgun. After all, the development route and ideas of this weapon are based on the original electromagnetic railgun. But what shocked them all was that when the design drawings appeared and began to verify various feasibility, they found that this weapon was surprisingly powerful in various performance indicators.

According to theoretical data, the high-efficiency energy of antimatter plus the powerful driving force of the grand unified force field, combined with the powerful energy of antimatter annihilation, the calculated theoretical value can actually reach the level of star destroyer.

Yes, star destroyer.

Of course not a star, humans do not have the ability to shake a star.

In weapon design, the theoretical value calculated by experts is so huge that its explosive energy is so huge that it can easily destroy an asteroid. Yes, easily destroyed, because the value is far greater than the energy level required to destroy an asteroid, which is a conservative estimate by experts.

If the weapons made by humans can be extremely close to the theoretical level, then it is not impossible to destroy a satellite or even a planet.

The combination of antimatter annihilation and the grand unified force field has exerted a terrifying energy that humans could not imagine before. Now, some weapons experts have suggested that the weapon being designed be named the Star Destroyer.

This suggestion has been temporarily shelved because the weapon has not been truly built and people have not yet witnessed its power in reality. If it is really as powerful as in theory, then it will inevitably be named the Star Destroyer.

Star Destroyer, what a loud name.

But it is not easy to really make such a weapon. First of all, it is mentioned in the design that the acceleration part of the weapon must reach at least 150 kilometers. Such a long acceleration part is naturally to allow the shells to have enough acceleration time to achieve a higher shell speed, a kinetic weapon.

Such a length, coupled with the powerful acceleration ability of the grand unified force field, is enough to increase the antimatter shells to the sub-light speed state. Then the kinetic mass enhancement effect brought by the super-strong kinetic energy of sub-light speed, coupled with the huge energy of the annihilation of antimatter itself, is enough to destroy a planet.

In the third-level civilization, humans can at most plow the surface of a star. Even if they use all the power of the entire civilization and all the weapons they can use, they cannot shake a planet. However, the fourth-level civilization is different. Just from the theoretical energy level, humans have the confidence to destroy a planet.

The power brought to humans by the grand unified theory is too strong.

Now, humans finally realize why the fourth-level civilization is classified as a high-level civilization. It is indeed that the level it is at is strong enough. The stars in the starry sky that were previously unshakable can be easily destroyed in the fourth-level civilization.

In the design plan, the barrel wall of the star destroyer is full of devices that produce the grand unified force field. The grand unified force field generated by these devices will be cleverly interwoven in a special form to form a powerful force that drives the antimatter shells in the barrel forward. Needless to say, the energy supply system of the star destroyer must be the antimatter engine on the battleship.

However, because the star destroyer is too large, it must also require the battleship to be large enough. The longest battleship currently available to humans, the Lyra, is only 15 kilometers long, which is ten times the difference, and it is definitely not enough. Therefore, if we want to make the star destroyer cannon a reality, we must simultaneously manufacture larger warships, and to manufacture larger warships, we need to make breakthroughs in all aspects of human technology.

Material technology is definitely a must.

The emergence of the star destroyer cannon will inevitably change the war situation.

Natural planets in the starry sky will no longer be space fortresses, because a fourth-level civilization can destroy it with one shot. All roadbed defense cannons built on planets like the defense measures of third-level civilizations will become decorations and will become the dead souls under the star destroyer cannon.

Of course, if we have the ability to transform a planet into a war star, it will be a different story. However, it is obvious that even if we master the grand unified theory and have the grand unified force field equation, humans cannot see any possibility of driving a planet by themselves.

Destroying a planet is possible, but if we want to drive a planet away at warp speed, it is not even supported in theory. The reason is that the mass of the planet is too large. Judging from the current technical parameters of human warp navigation, it is impossible to generate such a huge warp field.

Installing tens of thousands of conventional magnetic thrust engines can push planets, but it will be as slow as a turtle in the interstellar space, which is simply a living target. It is meaningless and cannot even keep up with the normal human fleet.

In fact, to push a star, humans can do it in the second-level civilization, but to drive a star as fast as a battleship, it is impossible even in the fourth-level civilization.

Now some scientists who study warp technology are a little puzzled, because they find that the current human warp theory seems to have developed to the limit and can turn the theory into reality, but it cannot produce a warp bubble that wraps an entire planet.

In other words, it is not allowed under the existing warp theory.

This puzzled them, because as early as the era when humans came into contact with Kuntai civilization, they saw some descriptions in the Kuntai civilization data. They said that their home planet was taken away because a civilization called Quill civilization received the broadcast of the Galactic Center Alliance near their home planet, which eventually led to their entire home planet being packed up and taken away.

Humans knew that the technology of "packing planets away" was very powerful, but they did not expect it to be so powerful. That was lossless packing and taking away. In the past, humans only knew that it was powerful, but they did not have much concept. Now it is different. Even though the grand unified theory has been realized, humans themselves still cannot theoretically pack up a planet and take it away. This shows that the civilization whose name is not even known in the Kuntai civilization database is at least a level 5 civilization.

From these data, human dynamics experts speculate that the level 5 civilization should master a warp drive method that is more powerful than the level 4 civilization, otherwise it would be impossible to have the ability to pack up a planet and take it away.

And that way of obtaining it may be related to the theory of everything, just as the current human warp navigation technology is related to the grand unified theory. This is easy to associate, after all, the pioneers have told humans the theory or technology of the hallmarks of level 5 and level 6 civilizations.
