1869. Death Star Cannon
Bilephi-Tony began to introduce Tang Xiao to the data of the Death Star Cannon, as well as the difficulties they were facing now.
The Death Star Cannon (Novalith Cannon), the super weapon of the Traders Emergency Alliance in "Original Sins of a Solar Empire", is also a magnificent construct that integrates all the cutting-edge weapons of the Traders Emergency Alliance.
In essence, it is a super artillery, there is no doubt about it. However, the Death Star artillery is completely different from the Ragnarov-class Titan battleship, which is also a super artillery, and the technical content is not at the same level at all.
The Ragnarov-class Titan battleship is just a super electromagnetic gun, but it has a larger caliber (500 meters) and a higher power, so even if it was used in Das-Pu nearly 20 years ago Regus also received a "very rough" review. It's just that Darth Plagueis didn't have the blueprints for other super battleships in his hands, so he regarded them as treasures and happily built the battleships.
The Death Star cannon is also a super cannon, but the requirement is that it needs to hit the shells tens of thousands of light years away! This alone cannot be achieved by simply increasing the power.
Of course, theoretically speaking, in the gravity-free environment of the universe, the range of kinetic energy weapons is unlimited, but as the simulation test just done by scientist Bilefi Tony, once the launch fails, the cannonball will indeed It can fly to the target, but that will be hundreds of thousands of years later.
The Death Star cannon is designed to bring most of the galaxy within its strike range! In other words, this cycle cannot exceed one month at most, otherwise it will lose all strategic significance.
Now Bilefe and Tony's goal is to overcome this problem - how to launch cannonballs tens of thousands of light-years away.
Tang Xiao's patience was gone. He waved his hand violently and said: "I don't want to see these failed cases. I just want to know if you have any solution to this problem. And when, I can use the Death Star cannon."
The Death Star cannon was an important part of his strategy. If the war with the Galactic Empire is to resume, three conditions must be met: First, the Death Star cannon is completed. Second, the planet Rendili is officially included in the economic system of the Principality of Dawn. Third, the rebel army's war raged throughout the empire.
Only in this way can the Principality of Dawn have the possibility to compete with the Galactic Empire for hegemony in the galaxy.
If the construction of the Death Star for the Galactic Empire cannot be stopped, then the Death Star cannon needs to be used as a check and balance so that the Galactic Empire cannot use this super weapon at will. The Death Star cannon not only needs to threaten most of the planets in the galaxy, but also needs to ensure that the shells it fires cannot be intercepted. Because once it can be intercepted, the Death Star artillery loses its significance as a deterrent.
This is the key! Otherwise, there is the threat of the Death Star, and Palpatine directly drives the Death Star to the Dawn Planet without any disagreement, and everything will be over.
Because of what happened on the planet Geonosis, Tang Xiao was in a bad mood now. He stared at Bilephi Tony. The air around him became colder, and the terrible pressure made the scientist's forehead full of blood. It's a cold sweat.
"I...I will try my best...I will try my best..." Bilephi Tony wiped the waterfall of sweat on his forehead, "I have an idea...Same as...the same as the Ragnarov-class Titan battleship, The problem is solved through the mass effect field... However, unlike the super-matter electromagnetic gun, the projectile cannot be partially accelerated and needs to be fully accelerated... According to Professor Arroyo's experiments... the fully accelerated mass effect field can break through There are restrictions on the hyperspace channel...but, but...cannonballs...yes! Cannonballs...cannonballs do not need to carry living bodies...there is a chance...you can..."
"Okay! I can't listen! I understand, and I don’t want to hear what you said. I can give you the technology and personnel you need. But I only need an answer! When can we officially start finalizing the Death Star cannon?" Tang Xiao said coldly. asked. "Three years... no no... two years... two years..." Bilephi Tony held up three fingers, and then saw Tang Xiao's expression and quickly retracted one.
"I will give you one year. After one year, if you can't start construction, you will know the result yourself!" Tang Xiao's tone was extremely cold, "Then at most 5 months, I need you to give me a framework through which I can start the construction of the main structure of the Death Star cannon!"
"Yes...yes...I will try my best..." Bielephi-Tony! He buried his head deeply, almost to his chest. But then he felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he raised his head again, met Tang Xiao's cold gaze, and quickly changed his words: "I mean... it will definitely be done! It can definitely be done!"
Only then did Tang Xiao spare him and turned to look at the Warthian engineers.
After the Vathians joined the fourth civilization, their level of civilization and development continued to increase, which can be seen from the fact that they began to wear various costumes on their carapace. However, they still haven’t gotten rid of their habit of taking tools out of their intestines. There’s no way around it, maybe their racial talent...
What once restricted the population growth of the Vathians was mainly food, because they were really good eaters. . Now that the food problem has been solved, their population has also grown greatly. After all, they are one of the descendants of the Killik people. As a Zerg-like race, the last thing they need to worry about is reproduction.
The Vathians are now the largest engineering team in the fourth civilization. The Varthians are involved in the construction of almost all large buildings. And this time, in the development and manufacturing of the Death Star cannon, Vathian engineers will naturally participate.
"Can the construction scale of the Death Star cannon in the database meet their needs?" Tang Xiao asked, pointing to Bilephi Tony and the others.
The Vathian engineer nodded and replied: "In the original database, the Death Star cannon is 70 kilometers in length, mainly including an 8-kilometer-long material converter and a 62-kilometer-long acceleration orbit. At present, our research direction is still not Apart from this basic structure, our Vacian engineering team has now built the basic framework in the outer orbit of the planet Hoth, starting with the No. 1 guide rail, which is expected to take seven months."
Tang Xiao. Nodding, the Vathians, apart from anything else, are very reliable when it comes to engineering and repairing things. Moreover, this race is said to be honest and honest people. It is said that it takes seven months to complete, so if it were done by someone else, it would definitely take longer.
He then said to the officer in charge of security: "Secrecy must be done well. Hyperspace blockers need to be further installed to ensure that hyperspace jumps in any direction cannot reach the planet Hoth. All scientific researchers The family members need to be properly accommodated. I will further increase investment to build better entertainment facilities and living facilities here. But what you need to give me is absolute confidentiality. After the construction begins, I will let Geth participate in security. Come during work."
"Yes..." As soon as he heard Geth's name, the officer broke into a cold sweat just like Bilephi Tony. He knew that Tang Xiao was trying to knock him out by mentioning the Geth matter.
After all, if Geth really gets involved, he will definitely not get any good results in front of those cold-blooded and ruthless intelligent machines.
"Let's go, take me to the site of Guide No. 1." Tang Xiao was no longer interested in this laboratory, so he planned to leave for the construction site. (End of this chapter)
