Chapter 432 Breaking Technical Barriers
430. Breaking Technical Barriers
In fact, the reason why the M-15 Vindicator assault rifle and the M-4 Ninja Dart submachine gun were successfully developed was mainly because of one Discovery of key technologies——
Element Zero, or eezo for short.
This was successfully developed by Arroyo Barlow, a master salarian scientist who was awakened together with the legendary salarian Professor Mordin and is currently the director of the cutting-edge project warship research and development department.
In fact, it is not about development, but Arroyo-Barlow identified a substance that can replace element zero - Hypermatter - based on a long period of comparison and transformation.
Hypermatter is a kind of superparticle material that can only exist in superspace. This material can be constrained by the magnetic field of real space, and once it conducts electricity, the speed of charged superparticles will be accelerated to infinity. , and annihilated in the process. During the annihilation process of superparticles, powerful energy will be generated, which can even break through the shackles of hyperspace and affect the real three-dimensional space.
The hyperspace engine in the "Star Wars" world is built on this principle. Charged super particles are annihilated under infinite acceleration, and through orderly reactions, the spacecraft can span three-dimensional space. Forces that enter hyperspace and are accelerated to far beyond the speed of light.
It is worth mentioning that there is actually more than one kind of super substance, and the energy produced is also different according to different refining processes. From the hyperspace fuel that can be seen everywhere in the galaxy to Coaxium, which is just a theory and has not yet been put into actual production, they are all different types of hypermatter.
Coincidentally, element zero is also a kind of dark energy that will form a kind of dark energy after conduction and produce a mass effect field, thus changing the mass of all matter in the field, allowing it to increase or decrease infinitely. It is small and allows matter to be accelerated to super-light speeds in the mass effect field.
After research, Arroyo-Barlow discovered that hyperspace and mass effect fields are very close in terms of physical models, and they accelerate matter to super-light speeds, both of which are completed after leaving the three-dimensional space - because three-dimensional The maximum speed of space is the speed of light. No one can break this physical rule.
This major discovery broke through the technical barrier between the world of "Mass Effect" and the world of "Star Wars" in one fell swoop.
Because the steel needle acceleration module of the previously developed M-8 Avenger assault rifle can also be replaced by electromagnetic acceleration, the more powerful M-15 Vindicator assault rifle and M-4 Ninja Dart submachine gun, You must use element zero to drive it to meet the design requirements.
This technological breakthrough was originally an accidental idea when Arroyo Barlow tried to use his original scientific experience in the world of "Mass Effect" to interpret the technology in "EVE" - he thought at the time He wanted to use the engine of Element Zero to replace the spaceship power system in the world of "EVE". It turned out that there seemed to be no such thing as Element Zero in this world. Then the Salarian people's unique inquisitive nature allowed him to use extremely high Passionately devoted to the search for a replacement for Element Zero.
The result is that there is little progress in the development of the spacecraft, but the connection between element zero and the super matter of this world has been clarified.
After he handed this research result to Chi Jianjun's scientific research team, they came up with something in a short time.
The advent of the M-15 Vindicator assault rifle and M-4 Ninjadar submachine gun powered by metamatter may represent the first models in the "Star Wars" world that can defeat deflector shields with live ammunition of firearms. The steel needle accelerated by the super matter to an extremely high speed will produce a certain annihilation effect due to the action of the super matter during the acceleration process, which can directly act on the deflection shield, causing the shield to suffer great damage. It's just that the power of these two firearms against deflection shields is relatively limited, but after all, they have pointed out a completely different path.
This is also a completely different path from the "Star Wars" world, but it leads to the same goal. In this world, because of the existence of explosive gas, scientists have not put much effort into live ammunition. Because the blaster beam is a versatile attack method that not only has the high heat of energy weapons, but can also explode, producing shock waves that are not inferior to kinetic energy weapons. It is indeed enough to continue to develop.
So these scientists have never thought of using the hyperspace fuel of the spacecraft to make guns - not because it is useless, but because blaster weapons can already meet the needs of weapons.
But the requirements of the Fourth Civilization go beyond that. Regarding a series of explosive gas-based weapon technologies such as blasters and turbolasers, their attitude is directly appropriationism. But for themselves, they can use more power to take a completely different path.
The result is that the Fourth Civilization will at least not lag behind the Republic in terms of explosive energy technology, but it will be far ahead in terms of kinetic energy weapons. This will require the Republic to spend double the cost and energy. response.
At the same time, this technology can also be applied to the two battleships being built by the Fourth Civilization - the 40-meter-caliber semi-axis base gun of the Cole-class battlecruiser, and the Ragnarov The terrifying 500-meter-caliber shaft-based cannon of the Titan-class battleship will be further enhanced in power if super matter is used to accelerate it.
Of course, the consequences are obvious - it costs money.
For example, according to the data currently available to the Fourth Civilization, the hyperspace engine of the Hiigaran-class battlecruiser, when the engine power reaches its maximum, consumes hypermatter per second if converted into a conventional fusion reactor. If so, 30,000 tons of reaction materials will be consumed!
This is why these battleships need to replenish their hypermatter after a few hyperspace jumps.
Of course, using super matter to fire bullets does not mean that the bullets enter hyperspace, and it does not need to consume so much, but after all, this thing also costs money! This cost is much higher than that of lasers, electromagnetic acceleration, etc., and is even slightly more expensive than purchasing explosive gas alone. But the advantage is that it can be used to fly a spaceship and shoot bullets, making supplies much more convenient.
In short, after unlocking the technology to replace element zero with super matter, a brand new path will be revealed in front of the fourth civilization. At the same time, the final birth of this technology also made breakthrough progress in another secret project that Tang Xiao valued very much.
G-Project.
When Tang Xiao got the news, he was on the planet Geonosis, and this news made Tang Xiao, whose temperament had become colder and colder since practicing the way of the Sith, almost screamed!
"Lord Governor! Oops! Something happened! Trimi Brad, who was working on that secret project on the planet Sochoron...he...he's dead!!"
