Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 67 Pulsar

The meeting continued, and the next topics were all about how to better attack. Qi Zhengxi, the only conservative, was left out in the cold.

In the subsequent meetings, he just drank water and remained silent.

"Warning, entering the pulsar area, the shield is about to fail. Warning, entering the pulsar area, the shield is about to fail."

The Flying Star frigate arrived in the Bechi system after a hyperspace jump.

As soon as the frigate entered this galaxy, it sounded a continuous sound of alarms.

The faint layer of blue light covering the ship also slowly disappeared along with the sound of the alarm until it was completely gone.

The ship's shield value has been neutralized.

"what is this?"

"A pulsar is a rotating neutron star. It is a kind of neutron star. It can periodically emit pulse signals. Most of them have a diameter of about 10 kilometers. They rotate extremely fast. They will continuously send out powerful electromagnetic pulse signals to the surroundings to interfere with the shield. The generation. So as long as we enter this galaxy, our spaceship shield will be neutralized."

"Does this mean that our current spaceship has no shield value and only has armor value? Doesn't that mean that if it encounters the laser-type ship on the opposite side, it can blow me up in one fell swoop?"

"Yes."

The Mozi research ship has also explored this galaxy, but the research ship is not for combat purposes and must run away when it encounters enemies.

Therefore, there is no device installed on the spacecraft that will trigger an alarm if the shield fails. This is the first time Chen Xiaomeng knows about this situation.

However, she was a cutting-edge scientist, so she was able to explain to Qin Xu directly from a scientific perspective.

For these advanced terms, Qin Xu felt like he was listening to advanced mathematics in college. It was very difficult to listen to, but he still studied hard.

"Then if shields are so dangerous, why don't we just equip all frigates with armor? If we don't install shields, wouldn't they be ineffective in this environment?"

Although Chen Xiaomeng is not from the Space Army and has not learned this, he can still speculate and explain: "Maybe it is because the shield is regenerative and powerful."

"What exactly are these two?"

"To put it simply, the shield value will slowly recover over time. For example, if you have 100 shield points now and 10 points have been knocked off, then as time goes by, these 10 points will be slowly added back."

"But the armor is broken, that is, it is broken. If it is not repaired after a period of time, it will still be broken. Of course, if the research on regenerative hull tissue makes some progress, the armor may be able to repair itself in the future. "

"But the main thing is the effectiveness of the shield. For example. In the same space position, if you install armor, it can only bring 100 armor points. But if you install a shield, the same space position can bring 130 points. Shield value. In addition, the presence of shield capacitors can increase the total shield value at the final percentage, so a ship with all shields is much thicker than a ship with all armor."

"To sum up, under the same conditions, the overall shield is stronger than the armor, but the shield will be completely ineffective when encountering pulsars. When faced with attacks from missiles and carrier-based aircraft, the shield will be directly penetrated. Strike, so each has its own advantages and disadvantages.”

As the Flying Star frigate slowly sailed into this galaxy, it suddenly discovered that a large number of engineering fleets entered the galaxy from behind, heading for the Bechi space station.

The Bech Space Station is located next to the pulsar. This space station was originally just an ordinary star port. Now it seems to have begun a major renovation, upgrading to a star fortress or even a star fortress.

There is only one month left before the official start of the war.

The Flying Star frigate has done a lot of drill missions during this period. At this moment, it happened to come to the space station for some supplies, and then immediately went to the First Fleet to assemble.

The Flying Star frigate sent an inbound request to Bech Space Station.

The request to enter the station was approved, and the Beqi Space Station, which was under construction, opened the port door.The Flying Star frigate parked in the space anchorage, and the staff on the space station immediately began routine maintenance and supply work on the military ship.

Everyone came down to rest, and suddenly a staff member waved to them.

"Are you from the military?"

"Yes."

"I heard that the First Fleet, the Second Fleet, the Third Fleet, and the Fourth Fleet have all assembled at the front. Are you still at the rear? Are you from the Fifth Fleet?"

Fu Guodong, the chief engineer of Beqi Space Station renovation, has white hair and looks to be close to 80 years old.

Breakthroughs in biotechnology have greatly extended the average life span of human beings. Now most people are over 150 years old, so the corresponding retirement age has also been extended.

"We are from the First Fleet. We will replenish our supplies here before heading to the front line."

Qin Xu said.

"This is really strange. But okay, are you convenient now? I want to ask you about the front line."

After a brief doubt, Fu Guodong stopped worrying and said a little embarrassedly.

"What's wrong? I actually don't know much here, but I will try my best to answer."

Fu Guodong led everyone to the lounge.

The two sides briefly introduced each other and found out that the other party was the chief engineer of this major renovation of the Beqi Space Station.

"It's like this. You also know that the Beqi Galaxy is already a very deep hinterland in the vast interstellar territory of the United Nations of Earth. Building a battle fortress in such a deep hinterland makes it difficult not to make people wonder whether the battle will spread here. If so, my two sons on Fatel will be in danger."

Fu Guodong said worriedly.

Qin Xu wanted to answer, but his mind went blank. He looked at Chen Xiaomeng, and Chen Xiaomeng looked at Yu Minghai.

Yu Minghai looked around and found that he seemed to have no one to ask, so he looked at Wang Xueer.

Then Fu Guodong took a look and saw that everyone was looking at Wang Xueer, so he followed suit.

Wang Xueer was stunned, "Me? I, I..."

What are you looking at me for?How can I know something that even the captain doesn’t know?

But Fu Guodong looked at her like this, and he was a white-haired old man. It was related to the other two sons, and she was really embarrassed to say that she didn't know.

He replied with some embarrassment: "Well, we don't know the specific situation. We can ask the superiors later and try to give you an answer."

Fu Guodong was not very satisfied with this answer, but he had no choice. The other party had no obligation to answer him.

What's more, this may also be a military secret, and if you tell it, you may have to go to a military court.

But he is just an ordinary person who just wants to live a stable life with his children.

If they really encountered the brutal ethnic cleansing of Cologne Colony on Fatel, he would collapse.
