Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 791: The Orange Star Civilization Feels Sure of Victory

This should be the case. For example, the first fleet of mankind did not carry out such an inefficient attack, and the Orange Star Civilization fleet, which was still moving at full speed, did not open fire. After all, their speed is the maximum speed of a fourth-level civilization. Even if they launched warp-propelled weapons at this time, they would not be able to reach a faster speed.

This is different from the principle of the constancy of the speed of light. To give a simple example, if an object travels at half the speed of light, and then a beam of light is emitted from the object, this beam of light will not exceed the speed of light. The speed of light is still 300,000 kilometers per second. The speed of light will not change due to changes in the reference system.

It stands to reason that the warp speed has exceeded the speed of light after all, and can no longer be measured by the constancy of the speed of light. Of course, the speed of light emitted by a spacecraft in the warp speed is also the speed of light, and the speed of light measured by a spacecraft in the warp speed is also constant. Light will not change due to changes in the reference system.

But warp weapons are a little different. It is not because the speed of light is constant, but because of the warp power. The principle of warp navigation itself is to generate a warp bubble to wrap the warship in the process of distorting time and space, and then form different degrees of space-time curvature at the front and back ends of the warp bubble, so that time and space can drag the spacecraft forward.

The forward, backward, sideways movement, turning and other actions of the warp spacecraft are all based on this.

The amount of space-time distortion an engine can create is its warp power, so a civilization's warp power is the maximum its weapons can achieve.

Therefore, if the spacecraft launches a warp weapon at the highest warp speed, the result will be that it will be parallel to the spacecraft. Of course, it must be able to be launched. After all, things coming out of the spacecraft will pass through a region of distorted space-time when entering and exiting the warp bubble, while the inside of the warp bubble is normal space-time.

Therefore, general warp weapons are actually fired from a spacecraft and then pass through the warp bubble and the distorted space-time formed outside the warp bubble before their internal warp engines start working.

It's easy to understand, just like many missile launches are first launched into the air and then ignited.

However, the maximum speed of the weapon is the same as that of a battleship, which does not mean it cannot be hit. It is just that it is difficult to hit at a long distance. It is still easy to hit if you get close. After all, a battleship with a larger mass has slower acceleration and deceleration. In this way, even if the tachyon detector detects the incoming warp missile, it will not be able to react in time.

Moreover, warp missiles are difficult to detect because they are too small.

"Orders, the fleet will be in skirmish formation, spread out and act freely!" Looking at the Orange Star Civilization fleet that was getting closer and closer, Yue Yuan gave the order decisively.

There is definitely no way to resolve the issue peacefully at this point. If they have to fight, then they have to fight. He has great confidence in his more than 2,900 warships. If the Orange Star Civilization fleet is only at the fourth level of civilization without any advanced technology, then they will undoubtedly be defeated.

But no matter what, this is the fleet's first actual combat, and humans cannot take it lightly.

After the order was issued, each warship took its position according to the action guide that had been practiced countless times in the past. The first batch of combat personnel, that is, the pilots, were already ready in their respective independent cockpits. Yue Yuan was also in his own independent cabin, his hands flying quickly on the holographic screen.

Many things in the system of the Lyra battleship require his authorization, or are bound to his identity as a leader, so his authorization is necessary, just like the current situation where the driver needs to access the consciousness link device, which requires his authorization.

While the main pilot is preparing to enter the consciousness link state, the backup pilots also come to their own independent cabins, ready to replace the pilot who has exited the driving state due to mental fatigue.

At the current level of human beings, if they want to operate a warship from a third-person perspective through the consciousness link state, eight thousand people must be connected to the system at the same time, otherwise it will not be able to withstand it. This situation can only be improved if humans themselves make breakthroughs in the field of consciousness and strengthen their individual lives in this aspect. The dream events of the past only helped humans to fully awaken and control the third-person perspective in dreams.

It just allows humans to have the ability to access consciousness-linking devices.

The equipment that can fully awaken the third-person dream subconsciousness of humans is actually the main equipment on the Tianqin. Otherwise, humans would definitely leave the equipment with the main civilization on this trip.

The awakener gave the things quite straightforwardly, so humans actually know how to use this equipment. Its opening and closing will affect the dreams of people in a certain area around it, just like when humans’ third dream subconscious perspective was activated.

Most of the human race has awakened. Well, that batch of people back then have awakened. Those born after that have not. If they want to gain this ability, they must turn on the equipment for a period of time after the Lyra returns.

This time with the addition of another set of equipment that can break the warp speed limit, it can be said that the Lyra has become the most valuable warship of mankind and is well-deservedly the flagship of civilization.

Of course, its combat effectiveness is also the strongest.

Human single-ship combat capability is extremely strong, so Yue Yuan chose to fight in a scattered manner, allowing the captain of each warship to perform on his own and letting the pilots of each ship gallop freely.

As for the main controller of Tianqin, it was naturally Yue Yuan.

It's not that he is the leader and he has to do it, but in the simulation tests of various battleship wars, his results are always the best. I don't know if it's because he was the first to awaken from the dream event, or because he was affected by the red mist on Callisto, but after being awakened from the dream event, Yue Yuan's reaction speed is much faster than that of normal people.

Not only that, his mental strength is also much higher than others.

Originally, human scientists thought that he was a special case, but the same situation also happened to another person, Lu Xiaofen, who had directly absorbed the red mist and survived.

At present, human scientists are still studying why this situation occurs. Lu Xiaofen usually cooperates with Yi Kai in biological research in the main body of human civilization. Apart from Yue Yuan, she is the best carrier.

the other side.

The leader of the Orange Star Civilization laughed when he saw the human fleet disperse. In his eyes, the mere 2,900 human warships were doomed, and now that they were dispersed, they would be like birds and beasts scattering.

"Hahaha, warriors, this fleet of human civilization wants to escape separately. All fleets should surround them. Don't let go of any warship. Destroy them all. Don't worry about the Pioneers' treasure that cannot be destroyed." A signal was sent from the Orange Star Civilization flagship and spread throughout the entire Orange Star Civilization fleet in an instant.
