Chapter 195 Super laser, looking back on everything
At this moment, a huge space beam wave came from behind Mu Cang.
"Huh?"
He turned his face slightly and glanced in the direction of this space wave - one hundred thousand kilometers away.
There, a dark gray mechanical planet with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers appeared out of thin air.
If you look closely, you will see that the planet was obviously made with extremely advanced technology and craftsmanship. There is a giant equatorial trench on its surface that runs through the north and south poles, neatly dividing the planet into two hemispheres of the same size.
At the same time, Mu Cang could easily see through its thick dark alloy armor layer and see thousands of large and sophisticated turrets hidden beneath the surface of the artificial star.
Judging from the specific structure of those forts, it is very likely that they are clustered parallel laser cannon groups.
Speaking of lasers, apart from these armed forts that were obviously used for clearing the site, Mu Cang also discovered a disc-shaped sunken building with extremely regular edges in the northern hemisphere of the dark gray mechanical planet, just like a valley.
In that 'valley', Mu Cang could feel from a hundred thousand kilometers away that there was a huge energy that could explode the planet running at all times.
After comparing the observed information with his memory, Mu Cang recognized what this mechanically armed planet was:
"It turns out to be Darth Vader's Death Star."
Nodding like he was enlightened, he turned to look at the green natural planet and recalled:
"This is Alderaan, the famous peaceful planet in the galaxy that was destroyed by the Death Star."
Mu Cang murmured with a somewhat surprised expression:
"I actually came to a space-opera time and space where... I can travel faster than the speed of light?!"
……
Deep inside the Death Star, a huge meditation room.
A man wearing a black cloak full of gloomy and dark temperament, lined with a black slim-fitting uniform, his head and face completely covered by a pure black helmet with a sloping rim and a weird mask, is standing quietly looking forward, where
There is a giant window-like display screen.
At this moment, the picture displayed on the screen is the planet Alderaan.
At this time, a thin middle-aged man with silver hair and a decent uniform walked up to the man, lowered his head and said respectfully:
"Lord Vader, we have arrived at the planet Alderaan."
"Huh~huh~"
With heavy mechanical breathing, Darth Vader said nothing when he heard the report.
The silver-haired middle-aged man next to him was not in a hurry and was waiting patiently.
"Xi~hu~"
Accompanied by the slow rhythm of mechanical breathing.
After a long time, a deep metallic sound slowly appeared:
"Mr. Tarkin, destroy it."
Hearing this, Tarkin nodded silently: "Follow your orders."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Only Darth Vader was still looking at the vibrant Alderaan on the screen, wondering what he was thinking.
A few minutes later.
The super laser cannon in the sunken building in the northern hemisphere of the Death Star, which had been aiming at the target for a long time, quickly completed its final energy storage and suddenly launched towards the green planet hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
Buzz——
In an instant, a huge red laser beam instantly penetrated a long distance and struck towards...
Suddenly, something strange happened.
This laser beam only flew a few thousand kilometers before it incredibly stopped and then reflected the same distance in the opposite direction, returning to the muzzle of the Death Star's super laser cannon without any waste.
Then, this huge energy that returned to the barrel instantly flowed back through the multi-faceted amplification crystal of the turret base to the eight beam energy transmission devices under the launch device of the sunken building, reversing the path step by step all the way down without damaging anything.
The device and parts circuits were returned to the super-matter reactor used to catalyze the creation of huge laser energy in the deepest part of the Death Star.
】
After this majestic and vast energy returned to the furnace, it continued to reverse a series of incredible physical reactions, replenishing the Kyber crystal library that was consumed in large quantities to generate the energy of the exploding star.
The whole process was like going back in time.
That's right, Mu Cang just used the time and space skill that evolved many times during the shuttle journey - Zhouguang Reversal.
The Death Star's super laser cannon includes a large number of land pads, drive thrusters, sensor arrays, 15,000 turbolaser groups and more than 700 tractor beams, as well as more than 200 turrets distributed in various directions and areas.
The actions and thoughts of thousands of people were all recalled five minutes ago.
In the meditation chamber deep inside the Death Star.
"...Destroy it."
Tarkin nodded silently: "Follow your orders."
Then, turn around and leave.
Darth Vader was left standing in front of the huge display screen, silently looking at the green planet on the screen.
One minute later.
Tarkin suddenly hurried back to the meditation room and ran up to him, stammering:
"L...Lord Vader! A system failure occurred when the laser cannon was activated..."
"Then start again."
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Darth Vader's cyborg voice, "Do you even have to report this kind of thing to me?"
"No sir."
Tarkin took two breaths, with an incredible expression on his face, "Prior to this, the planet Alderaan has been marked by the fire control system, and the turret turntable has also entered an active state under the control of the system in order to maintain dynamic aiming.
.
But just now... Alderaan missed the target inexplicably just now! This caused an obvious timing disorder in the fire control system, resulting in..."
"Missed the target?"
Darth Vader suddenly turned around and stared at the silver-haired middle-aged man, questioning: "Dear Mr. Tarkin, you may not quite understand what you are talking about.
As a DS-1 platform (Death Star) with a cost of 200 billion Empire credits, from the moment it was created from the sky above Geonosis, it was destined to be the greatest weapon in the entire galaxy!
And you said it would miss when aiming at a target as big as an entire planet?!"
Tarkin, who was so scolded that he couldn't raise his head, said with a grimace: "But Lord Vader, the facts are irrefutable. According to the data feedback from the control room, Alderaan was unable to be accurately analyzed by the central system for a very short period of time, uh...
At least in a short period of time shorter than a millionth of a second, it actually missed the target by more than 10,000 kilometers!"
"Nonsense!"
Darth Vader lifted Tarkin into the air with a force choke, and said coldly: "If it is true as you said, then there are only two explanations to answer this fault.
First, the main system of the ds-1 platform and even the external information monitoring devices throughout the planet have major vulnerabilities. The entire Death Star needs to be thoroughly inspected and repaired! Or it can be directly rebuilt!
Second, the entire core of Alderaan was replaced with a hyperspace engine, allowing such a large planet to fly at faster than light speeds!"
Bang!
Tarkin fell heavily to the ground, coughing and saying intermittently: "Sir, there is also... there is another explanation, which is a conjecture put forward by scholars from the platform's internal academy of sciences."
Darth Vader said coldly: "Say."
Tarkin sat on the cold ground and gasped: "Scholars compared the data between the new space mark recalibrated by the backup fire control system and the old mark, and found that the miss distance of Alderaan is kilometers, while Alderaan's
The revolution speed is 35.3 kilometers."
Darth Vader paused and said in a deep voice: "The miss distance is exactly the distance that Alderaan travels along its orbit for 300 seconds."
Tarkin's throat moved and he nodded: "Yes... yes."
"There are no absolute coincidences in the universe, especially at this critical time."
Darth Vader pondered for a moment and asked: "The time data of the photon timer..."
Tarkin pursed his lips and said: "It's five minutes slower than the hyperspace crystal timer."
"Hmph...huh...huh...huh!"
Darth Vader breathed several times before saying solemnly: "The hyperspace crystal and the external time flow will always be at the same frequency, and the photon timing... If there is no accident, there will be no error of one second even for 100 million years." "There is only one explanation." Tarkin said solemnly, "Including the Death Star, time for all of us was suspended for a full five minutes!"
"No, no, no, you said it wrong."
Suddenly a clear male voice came, using the common language of the Galactic Empire.
Darth Vader turned around in an instant and shouted in a low voice towards the entrance of the spacious meditation room: "Who is it?!"
"Hehehe."
A figure that shimmers with pure white light slowly steps out of the dark corridor outside.
