In fact, the successful development of the M-15 Vindicator assault rifle and M-4 Ninja Dart submachine gun was mainly due to the discovery of a key technology -
Element Zero, referred to as eezo.
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.
Supermatter 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 in this process
Annihilation. 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 created using this as the force. Charged superparticles are annihilated under infinite acceleration, and through orderly reactions, the spacecraft can cross three-dimensional space and enter hyperspace, and
The force of being accelerated far beyond the speed of light.
It is worth mentioning that there is actually more than one kind of hypermatter, and the energy produced is also different according to different refining processes. From the hyperspace fuel that can be seen everywhere in the galaxy, it is only a theory now, and there is no core element that has actually been put into production (
), are all different types of supermatter.
It is a very coincidence that 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, thereby changing the mass of all matter in the field, allowing it to increase or decrease infinitely, and allowing the matter to
Matter that is accelerated to super-light speeds in mass effect fields.
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 if the steel needle acceleration module of the previously developed M-8 Avenger assault rifle can be replaced by electromagnetic acceleration, the more powerful M-15 Vindicator assault rifle and M-4 Ninja Dart submachine gun must use Element Zero.
Only by driving can the design requirements be met.
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 wanted to use Element Zero at the time.
engine to replace the spacecraft 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's unique inquisitive nature made him devote himself to the search for Element Zero with great enthusiasm.
Go into the work of elemental substitutes.
As a result, there was little progress in the development of the spacecraft, but the connection between element zero and the super matter of this world was clarified.
After he handed over 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 the M-4 Ninja Dart submachine gun powered by metamatter may represent the first firearms in the "Star Wars" world that can break through deflector shields with live ammunition. Being supermatter
The steel needle accelerated to an extremely high speed will produce a certain annihilation effect due to the action of 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 deflector 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 explosive beam is a versatile attack method
, it 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 to use them. But for themselves, they can use more
Strength to take a completely different path.
The result of this 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 use doubled costs and energy to deal with it.
At the same time, this technology can also be applied to two types of battleships being built by the Fourth Civilization - the 40-meter-caliber semi-axis gun on the Cole-class battlecruiser, and the Ragnarov-class Titan battleship.
The power of the terrifying 500-meter-caliber axis-based cannon will be further enhanced 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 30,000 tons of hypermatter per second if converted into a conventional fusion reactor.
reaction material!
This is why these battleships need to replenish their hypermatter after making several hyperspace jumps.
Of course, using super matter to fire bullets does not mean that the bullet enters hyperspace, nor does it 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 even higher than
The price of purchasing explosive gas separately is slightly more expensive. However, the advantage is that it can be used to fly a spaceship and shoot bullets, making the supply much more convenient.
In short, after unlocking the technology of using super matter to replace element zero, what will be revealed in front of the fourth civilization will be a brand new path. At the same time, the final birth of this technology also made another secret plan that Tang Xiao valued very much.
Breakthrough progress has been made.
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! Trimmy Blood, who was working on that secret project on the planet Sochoron...he...he's dead!!"
