Let's put Tavel's research results aside for a moment. Now, the Emperor's next move is about to begin.
The successful reactivation of the psionic Death Star is the most exciting news recently, even more exciting than the elimination of the rebels in the Eastern Sky District. The power of this ultimate weapon far exceeds my initial expectations, even beyond the tower.
Weir's expectation when designing it was that if coupled with sufficient defense forces, the psionic Death Star would undoubtedly sweep through any rebel force of any size - unless the opponent also used the same size of ultimate weapons.
The psionic Death Star is not without its shortcomings. This was made clear to me by Tavel at the beginning. It is too large, moves slowly, and has almost no battlefield mobility. In a frontal war, the psionic Death Star cannot evade any attack.
It can only rely on its own structural strength to carry artillery fire and fight. Of course, there are two things that more or less make up for these shortcomings. The first is the structural form of the psionic Death Star, its amazing damage tolerance and its ability to last forever before reaching its limit.
The uncompromised functional integrity allows it to deal with most swarms of enemies, and a five-minute parsec defense mode gives it the opportunity to emergency recharge or escape from the battlefield, but in any case, these only make up for the weaknesses.
Instead of eliminating weaknesses, having no shields and armor, being unable to maneuver, being invisible or anti-phasing, these shortcomings mean that the psionic Death Star must cooperate with a large-scale escort fleet when conducting operations, otherwise the enemy only needs to deploy enough people.
With naval tactics, even the Death Star fortress will inevitably be consumed and extinguished - this thing is not powerful enough to kill all enemies instantly, so escort fleets are very necessary.
Considering that the scale of the war that requires the use of the psionic Death Star must have reached an incredible level, these escort fleets are not capable of ordinary warships. After careful consideration, I decided to form a special military force in conjunction with this Death Star fortress.
——Don’t look, the name hasn’t been decided yet.
Equipped with a sufficient escort fleet, the psionic Death Star's battlefield survivability and continuous combat capabilities are basically guaranteed. The rest are problems that cannot be avoided through technical means, such as the movement of this thing - under normal circumstances
The driving force used by the planet fortress is a coordinate-like engine. This engine generates theoretically unlimited driving force by constantly fine-tuning its own coordinates relative to the entire world. It allows the planet fortress with astonishing mass to ignore restrictions such as inertia.
Under the conditions of factors, it can reach the maximum speed of sublight in a short time. However, for the psionic Death Star, even the coordinate-like engine will be greatly reduced. Because of an unknown multiple interference effect in space, the psionic Death Star is in the main material plane.
The moving speed in the ship can never exceed 0.5 tenths of the speed of light (even the hyperspace jump state, which is second only to space jump, is also limited to this value). This is simply the slowest big guy among the imperial warships, and this guy
Compared with its range, which is often measured in light years, it simply seems to be standing still when moving and shooting. Moreover, regardless of the cruising speed, it is very difficult for this thing to jump in time and space. It takes nearly an hour to accumulate energy and open it.
A space crack that is wide and stable enough to carry its huge energy, and then jumps into the battlefield - fortunately, this thing does not lack energy. As long as there is enough time, it can still do it in the whole universe.
A semi-fixed ultimate fortress. After the war begins, it jumps directly into the battlefield, then stays put and kills everyone. In the end, it still stands proudly in the galaxy intact while waiting awkwardly for return. This is the design positioning of the Death Star fortress. In general
Said, not bad.
The first attack after the fortress was activated was extremely powerful. Under the unobservable breath of destruction, the five-light-year sky area turned into a vacuum zone, and all celestial bodies evaporated instantly. The news spread throughout the entire universe at an astonishing speed.
, the rebels who had risked everything and fought desperately with the enemy with a mentality of dying together were shocked by the news, and then burst out with a morale that we had never expected. They even suppressed the actions of the imperial rebels in a short period of time, and will
The enemy pressed back. Obviously, Fina and Roland Gale's political propaganda described the ultimate doomsday weapon for them, making the soldiers firmly believe that the war was about to end and the enemy was about to collapse in the face of this doomsday weapon. In a certain sense
Generally speaking, this propaganda is correct.
The only thing that's not quite accurate is...
"Actually, this thing is scarier than you advertised." I said with a smile to a certain mechanical queen next to me.
Our current location is the C-165 star system, the high-altitude orbit of the crystal peak planet, and the external observation platform of the Imperial Admiral. In the space background behind us, there is a blue "ocean" whose size cannot be determined, like a wall of the world.
Extending infinitely in all directions, the Nether Energy Death Star is actually still more than a billion kilometers away from the c-165 star system, but its huge size and spectral diffusion effect can still make people feel that it is close at hand, as if it is within reach.
illusion—and a sense of oppression that ordinary people cannot bear.
Looking around, in the boundless bright sea of fire background of the Nether Energy Death Star, there are densely packed countless small black spots, the shape of which is not very clear. A few of them are imperial science ships collecting observation data, and more are
It is the battleship used by the leaders of the resistance forces. Now the leaders of the forces in the universe who can escape are basically concentrated in this small star system, waiting for a historic moment. These are deeply affected by the Death Star fortress.
The shocked "tourists" swarmed to the edge of the galaxy before the door to the world opened, watching the magnificent ultimate fortress from a safe distance as much as possible, and writing their memoirs while changing the condensate of the spacecraft - the last sentence is purely a fantasy.
But it might be true.
Of course, the current psionic Death Star is in the highest suppressed state, and its energy intensity and brightness have been restrained to a level that will not cause any harm to surrounding units. Otherwise, the light alone is enough to dazzle any ordinary creature that looks directly at it.
His eyes were burned into holes.
"Friend, your empire is so powerful, I can't even imagine it," Fina said, probably convinced but still without any emotion. "My science ministers are still worried about the gravity of this planetary fortress.
Will it destroy the C-165 star system? It is so huge but does not produce universal gravity. Have you modified the rules of the universe?"
"It's not that simple to modify the rules of the universe. You might be fined by the Gods," I shrugged. "It's just the application of anti-gravity technology at a higher level. We can offset certain forces in a fairly large space."
The universal gravitational pull of a single object. Any planetary fortress built by the empire must have this mechanism. If the psionic Death Star is shut down now, the C-165 galaxy will immediately fall into the former's psionic fire sea. If you don't eat it then,
Got me."
Fina blinked in confusion: "Friend, I don't understand, I don't need to eat."
I:"……"
It seems that there is still a long way to go before this mechanical girl regains her common sense.
"Speaking of which, how is your physical condition? Will the pressure on your nerves be too great if you are outside?"
There are still ten minutes left before the "opening", and the professionals are all busy with their own affairs. Even Qianqian went to the Death Star control core as a technical consultant to cause trouble... um, to guide the debugging of the "parsec" system.
, when I was bored, I started chatting with Fina, and the first topic was the other person’s physical condition.
Of course Fina standing next to me does not continue to sit on her Iron Throne that she cannot leave, but that does not mean that she can move freely now. More than a dozen pipelines are still connected behind the girl, like extended blood vessels and
Chains generally connect it to the complex machinery and equipment behind it. These things maintain Fina's brain function and her ability to directly control several key facilities in the Gotak Free Kingdom. Looking at it from this angle, dragging behind her
These things about Her Majesty make it hard to believe she was ever human.
It is not too difficult to repair Fina's body. Although the body of the Xiling Apostle she used is not recorded in the database, it is not a special model. It is very easy to repair it. It only takes one day. My men
Any technician in the company has the confidence to restore Fina to a human body, but the latter actively rejected my kindness, using a reason that no one else could refute in any case: the resistance army is in the most difficult period of the war, even if
The empire needs every ounce of available power. If she restores her human body at this time, or replaces any new body we have prepared for her, it will definitely affect her original abilities, which will have a huge impact on the combat effectiveness of the Free Kingdom.
Therefore, she was willing to remain like this until the end of the war.
Not only Fina, but also Roland Gale, the Holy Emperor, the Council of Twelve, and all the leaders of similar situations, all used this reason to reject the kindness of the imperial scientists to restore her human body.
We are willing to take any risk of weakening the combat effectiveness of the rebels for their own selfish purposes, even if we offer to provide them with equipment that allows them to maintain the same capabilities as before. These leaders are accustomed to striving to be foolproof under any circumstances, and they would rather continue
He keeps the appearance of being neither human nor ghost, and is unwilling to rashly revert to being a human being.
In the words of old man Roland Gale: This has been going on for thousands of years, so what if we wait a few more days?
"I was a little dizzy just now, maybe due to insufficient energy supply, but I have recovered now. Lord Tavel's adjustments to the life support system are very effective," Fina nodded honestly, "Thank you for your concern, friend."
Because at the beginning, I said that I could be her friend, but in the end, this guy who had lost his common sense simply regarded me as "friend". I really can't change it.
While we were talking, a bright beam of light suddenly appeared at the North Pole of the Crystal Peak Planet. Against the dark background of space, this light appeared particularly conspicuous. Fina and I's attention was immediately attracted to it.
.
That's the Frozen Throne... uh, King Meow Meow... uh, Crystal Madonna, the light emitted by Ms. Matou Sakura at work means that she has completed the final debugging and is starting up the huge antenna array of the Crystal Peak Planet.
After the spiral tower is charged, it generates an energy pulse that reaches deep into the core of the earth. When this pulse is amplified by the entire planet and appears again, it will become one of the most wonderful sights in the universe: a twinkling crystal planet.
This scene reminded me of the inspiring cry from back then: "Ahn'Qiraj is opening the door! Everyone who took screenshots as a souvenir came with the leader!!"
That disconnection is still unforgettable when I think about it.
"The gate of the world has been activated. The stability of the space channel is 10.0. The el-3 to en-15 frequencies remain unobstructed. The energy output power is being increased and a void beacon is being established. The multiplication factor of the channel radius is set to 3.7. Pre-transmission troops
The ship has set sail, and victory lasts forever. This is the first record of the ship-based main engine."
"Open the door, open the door!" Lilina jumped up to the platform, shouting happily, followed behind her by a little doll with a bored expression but a curious light in its eyes. As soon as the mercury lamp saw it,
I immediately rushed to my special seat and dangled on a certain dad's shoulder: "This idiot-like Priestess is really annoying. At least you are much quieter than her."
"My friend, you still can't tell me in advance what exactly you are going to send here?"
Fina blinked and looked at the dozen black vortices that suddenly appeared next to the crystal peak. Those vortices were so huge that they even reached one-third of the radius of the crystal peak, but they were still expanding. Teleportation on such a scale
The door made the indifferent Fina couldn't help but wonder what kind of spaceship we announced as the "Psionic Death Star Fleet", but my response was just an indifferent smile: "Look at it, it is definitely worthy of a death star."
Star Fortress.”
Definitely worthy of a Death Star fortress - when the so-called "Phantom Death Star exclusive escort spacecraft" slowly left the portal, one by one appeared in front of the leaders of the resistance and the audience waiting in front of the TV (...
) before his eyes, all doubtful voices suddenly stopped, and then turned into huge exclamation marks.
"The Twilight Planet Fortress has arrived."
"The Imperial Planetary Fortress is in place."
"The Bloody Ark Planetary Fortress is on standby."
"Dawn Glow Planetary Fortress..."
A battleship?
Planets!!
Those huge, majestic, and ferocious black shadows emerged one by one from the fluctuating surface of the World Gate. When the interference during the transmission subsided, what appeared in front of people's eyes were planets as huge as each other, with metal and psionic energy floating all over their bodies.
The luster, the planetary fortress lined with endless turrets and battleship passages, a total of twelve planets, this is the escort fleet of the psionic Death Star!
More than a dozen planetary battleships are transmitting together, and naturally they are very close to each other, thus forming the spectacle of more than a dozen planets crowded together. Any physicist with a normal mind will be frightened when he sees this scene.
Everyone is shocked. If Newton is right, these dozen planets will undoubtedly collide together and become a piece of debris under the influence of gravity. But presumably the scientists of all races who have been paying attention to this place have also discovered
, these planet fortresses themselves do not produce any gravitational force! Just like the incredible Death Star fortress, they are like phantoms and do not interfere with anything around them!
"You see, strictly speaking, the Death Star Fortress should be a kind of star. A fleet of any size is too small for a star. The only ones that are truly worthy of a star are the satellite systems in orbit."
I patted Fina on the shoulder to bring Her Majesty out of her daze, "Of course, even these planet battleships you see are as small as sesame seeds in front of our Death Star fortress, but at least they are
It can form a truly useful defense force, good coordination, right?"
This is the Death Star Fortress special fleet I envisioned, with a core Death Star as the overall flagship and the "sun" of the entire fleet, and the twelve largest planetary battleships we have ever built will become its orbiting satellites
, operating at high speed in an extremely close orbit, they will together form a star system and an unprecedented scale offensive and defensive unit. Smaller-scale conventional warships will be deployed on the orbits of the twelve planetary warships, and the total number will be
In the millions - of course we can only deploy hundreds of thousands of battleships now, but we will soon be able to expand this number. The final Death Star fleet will be a star system, and every one it contains
The celestial bodies are man-made super weapons, and they can survive against law-level weapons. The combat effectiveness of the twelve planet fortresses can give the Death Star fleet more attack methods, and these layers of celestial body defenses will make
It is difficult for the enemy to attack the Death Star fortress - even the Imperial fleet must withstand the attack of the psionic Death Star and continuously pass through the front lines of twelve planetary fortresses and be pursued and intercepted by millions of Imperial spaceships before they can attack the fleet.
Core, this is a completely impossible task for any troop that is not equipped with law weapons!
In addition, the hundreds of thousands of battleships mentioned above are only the result of counting the spacecraft above the main battleships such as the expedition class. If you include the cheap and abundant assault ships and small frigates...
According to the production capacity of Planet Fortress, that kind of troops can be described as endless!
Paopao proudly calls this line of defense the Zodiac, and plans to announce to the entire void that the warriors who can successfully break through the Zodiac will receive a ton and a half of dragon balls as a reward - so the child's mother is still writing at home
Check it out.
But I have to admit, this thing is really a bit like the zodiac...
It can be said that this is almost all of our possessions. Since the first year of recovery (current calendar of the empire), we have created the most powerful fleet, the ultimate technology, the most energy-consuming weapons, and even obtained them from the Red Moon Cube.
The forbidden knowledge is all concentrated in this Death Star fleet. Its magnificence and power are so inspiring. The soldiers of the resistance army may only feel unprecedented shock and inspiration, but the Xiling apostles feel more uncomfortable.
Same meaning.
The only regret is that Sandora could not come to me. In my opinion, at such a historic moment, as the head of the empire, I should be present in person anyway. It is a pity...
"Well, well, it is indeed very, very spectacular! Arjun, you are indeed a great emperor! Greater than all the emperors I know!"
Suddenly a very familiar voice sounded next to him.
Slowly turning his head, a dazzling golden color immediately occupied his sight. The next second, a fragrant breeze hit his face, and a soft and warm touch came to his lips.
Perhaps taking into consideration that there were outsiders next to her, a possessive doll on her shoulder, and a shady loli who dared to say anything squatting on the other side, Sandora's kiss only lasted a few seconds.
, her hug almost destroyed my ribs. When I finally broke free from the other party's soft but strong embrace, I felt that all the joints in my body creaked.
"Why are you here? Yesterday you said you were not coming..."
"Surprise!" Our Majesty the Queen said brightly with a charming smile on her face, "But Arjun is so stupid. He just believes whatever I say. Do you really think I won't come to this occasion?"
I pinched Sandora's little face that turned into a silly girl expressionlessly: "You want to say that the earth is flat, do you believe that I really dare to send people to flatten the seven continents?"
Lilina next to her fell down at that moment: "Let me go, the emperor's courage is really cruel."
Let's not talk about it here. When the Death Star fleet of unprecedented scale was finally assembled, the resistance forces across the universe were excited!
At first, when the Death Star fortress itself was presented to them, everyone was still a little confused. They could not yet fully understand the concept of a celestial weapon transformed from a red giant star. But when the composition of the entire Death Star fleet was finally announced,
In the public, after the leaders of each force personally explained to their people what this terrifying fleet was, the warriors of all races finally understood it as if they were slow, and realized that a "celestial body system" could be used to
What is the concept of an analogous army?
Every part of it challenges the limits of the imagination of intelligent creatures. Even if you cannot understand the countless laws and pseudo-law weapons carried by this fleet, the scale of this thing is enough to shock people to the point of losing their ability to think.
At this moment, the resistance forces across the universe no longer have any doubts, let alone which side the victory belongs to. The horn of the general attack has sounded, and this world belongs to us!
The Death Star fleet has set sail, and the only thing standing in front of us is the Great Nebula!! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at ***(***.***)
