Chapter 108: Focusing Rainbow
As a die-hard fan of "Starry Sky OL", I am also a researcher who, like Leeuwenhoek, plays games with a magnifying glass.
Amber knows everything about the major events, legendary characters, and star equipment in the game.
What's more, the Fortress of Sorrow, a first-generation man-made celestial fortress that is extremely rare at this point in time.
In the era when players are active in the game, it is the trophy for the first place in the guild battle in each season.
The 'Pink Furry Rabbit' guild that Amber belongs to, in the season when he was the commander of the main fleet, directly defeated other player guilds and won the title of 'Strongest Guild' that season.
The guild celebration that year was also held in the celestial fortress they obtained - the 'Pink Rabbit House'.
So if he is asked to go to the bridge of the Destiny and be introduced to the three Federation fleet commanders, he will only tell them one thing:
"If you can't fight, run away. "
This is not nonsense. Even without the 8th and 12th Expeditionary Strike Groups, a single celestial fortress is enough to defeat the Federation Combined Fleet.
From the name of the "Wall of Sighs" plan, we know that the original intention of the empire to build an artificial celestial fortress was to form a strategic defense line that could be maneuvered, adjusted at any time, and that could not be captured by conventional fleets.
So in the four aspects of attack, defense, assistance, and mobility, the empire is doing its best to fill it.
Take the 'Fortress of Sorrow' that appears in Robert's galaxy at this moment as an example.
The 'Western Hemisphere' used to face the enemy is equipped with 400 battleship-level heavy particle cannons arranged in concentric circles as secondary weapons.
In addition, there are a large number of conventional charged particle cannons, high-energy laser cannons, electromagnetic reconnection cannons and multi-functional missile silos, as supplements to the rich firepower strike capabilities.
The main weapon of the Fortress of Sorrow, the 'Focusing Rainbow', is a heavy particle cannon with an accelerating orbit of 100 kilometers long and a diameter of 10 kilometers.
Using 'a' or 'cannon' to describe the Focusing Iris, the most powerful weapon built so far by mankind, is still somewhat inappropriate.
Furthermore, the working method of Focusing Iris is also different from the pulse mode of heavy particle cannons on other battleships.
It is an irradiation heavy particle cannon, and can also use a diffuse irradiation attack mode.
The Focusing Rainbow, directly powered by 300 large-scale fusion reactors, can sweep out a torrent of heavy metal particles that far exceeds the diameter of the Fortress of Sorrow itself in the diffuse irradiation mode.
Therefore, most players, including Amber, generally do not use "cannon" to refer to this big guy.
Instead, a more appropriate name was used - flashlight.
In addition to the most powerful spear currently possessed by mankind, the defense, auxiliary and mobility capabilities of the Empire's man-made celestial fortress are also equally powerful.
Unfortunately, Amber was not on the bridge at this time and could not speak to the three commanders.
Guterres and Griezmann do not know the specific information about the Celestial Fortress.
Although they could tell that this was definitely a strategic weapon of the empire, they had no idea of the various strengths of this celestial fortress.
Guterres even felt that his emergency order to the central fleet to enter a defensive state and readjust its formation was a bit conservative.
If there were a more aggressive federal commander, he might ask the entire fleet to directly start a concentrated fire attack.
But what happened next told Guterres that he might not be conservative enough.
In the center of the imperial fleet formation, the Fortress of Sorrow is the combat command center.
One of the right-hand men of the Regent of the Star Dragon Empire, Duke Duke, known as the ‘Iron Wall of the Empire’, is currently sitting in the command seat.
In front of him on the right, the Marquis of Ascania and Count Karl, who had arrived inside the fortress on a transport ship, were standing upright and saluting him.
"Salute to you, Your Majesty the Duke! Your presence on the front line will bring the morale of our army to its peak."
The Marquis of Ascania spoke humbly and looked respectful.
The other party is one of the five great dukes in the empire, and is also the regent's 'closest ally'.
Faced with such a person, Marquis Ascania naturally did not dare to lose his etiquette.
"Haha. My arrival is nothing. In the eyes of the grassroots soldiers, the so-called dukes, marquises, and earls are all great nobles. They are just called by different names."
Leaning on the command seat Duke Duke smiled, then patted the armrest on the right side of the command seat.
“What can give them a shot in the arm and bring them real victory is the Fortress of Sorrow we are in.” “Yes, my lord!”
"Hahaha, no need to be so serious."
As Duke Duke clicked on the dragon claw decoration on the left armrest, two temporary seats were raised on both sides of the command seat.
"Sit down, I guess you have never seen the sight of the Focusing Iris firing, right? Today is a good time to enjoy it together."
Marquis Ascania and Count Carl did not dare Slowly, he quickly sat on the chair.
It is true that they have never seen the Focusing Iris fire.
So far, it is said that the Empire has conducted more than 10 focusing rainbow irradiations in total.
Each celestial fortress was irradiated at least twice. The first time was an experimental half-power irradiation, and the second time was a full-power irradiation demonstration during the acceptance of the celestial fortress.
These more than 10 irradiations were all carried out in the empire's most heavily guarded experimental galaxy. In addition to the imperial royal family, the only people who can participate in the observation ceremony are the five empire commanders who are now the commanders of the five celestial fortresses. The Duke.
"You are lucky. Today is the first time that the Celestial Fortress has been put into actual combat. Before, it was used to attack asteroids and bring simulated battles."
As Duke Duke spoke During the process, other people in the combat command center were like an efficient gear set, running at high speed for the first actual combat shooting of the Fortress of Sorrow.
"The fusion reactor group is working normally, and the parameters of each subsystem of the main weapon unit are normal, and the up and down fluctuations meet the irradiation conditions!"
"Superconducting battery stacks 1 to 180 are working normally, and the energy storage and discharge tests have been completed ."
"Attention all units, the fortress will enter the orange state from now on, and the focusing rainbow will be irradiated, repeat."
If we talk about the battleship-level heavy particle cannon, it will be used. The metal bismuth in units of grams and kilograms is used as 'ammunition'.
Then the mass of the piece of metal bismuth placed at the deepest point of the Focusing Rainbow's acceleration orbit needs to be measured in tons.
Before the fortress jumped to this universe, various subsystems of the main weapon unit were actually prepared for irradiation in advance.
So it didn’t take long for the combat command center to receive the ‘system is fully green’ notification.
After confirming that the Focusing Iris was ready for irradiation at any time, the commander turned around and saluted Duke Duke on the command seat.
"Your Majesty the Duke, the Focusing Iris is ready and waiting for your instructions!"
"Start irradiating."
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving Duke Duke's order, the Focusing Iris immediately entered the irradiation process.
"The fortress cooling unit is on!"
"The fortress attitude control unit is preparing to stabilize the attitude."
"The reactor group has an approved power of 82.7%! Focused rainbow, target enemy Central fleet area, diffuse illumination mode! The illumination time is 15 seconds!”
After receiving the wine glass from the attendant, Duke Duke invited Ascania and Karl to raise the wine glass together.
"Gentlemen, may the glory of the empire shine on every corner of this galaxy!"
"The illumination begins!"
On the Fortress of Sorrow, a 10-kilometer diameter focus At the end of Zhihong's accelerating orbit, a burst of space distortion suddenly appeared.
Immediately afterwards, a radiance comparable to that of a star burst out from the accelerating orbit.
It looks like a river in the sky.
There will be another chapter later~
