Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 804 Material Disintegration Cannon

An energy weapon that has never been seen before, it ignores all kinds of human shields and is equipped with a speed that is difficult for humans to match. It is not surprising that such a configuration can crush the entire human fleet.

Star civilizations are like this, they seem to be either crushed by other civilizations or crush other civilizations, and evenly matched civilizations are the same level of civilization. There are cases where they clearly cannot win but still burst out with strong will and finally defeat the enemy, but they rarely occur.

Strategies and tactics can make up for certain technological gaps, but there are times when they fall short, just like human civilization today.

They were only facing a level five civilization exploration spacecraft, but they were no match at all. The gap in combat power caused by the technological gap was like an insurmountable chasm.

The first officer of the Jupiter continued, "According to the latest news from the Third Fleet, it may be a weapon that can decompose matter. Through observations of the destroyed warships, scientists believe that it is a directed energy weapon that directly decomposes matter. They also gave it a name, called the Matter Disintegration Cannon.

The reason is that the effect of that cannon is to directly decompose our warship armor, and the force is so great that our repair nanorobots can't repair it in time. There may be some frequency energy spreading around the hit position, causing our armor to immediately collapse like powder. "

"Where are the battleship's close-in defense guns?" Yue Yuan asked with a frown.

"I don't know. We had no chance to use close-in defense guns at all. It was too fast and too close. Before our close-in defense guns could react, the battleship had been destroyed." The first mate of the Jupiter shook his head and replied.

Listening to the words of the Jupiter's first mate, Yue Yuan and other experts on the Lyra were also thinking.

This is not right. If the so-called matter disintegration cannon is an energy-type weapon, it is impossible to ignore the polarization shield, because the physical principle of the polarization shield is specifically used to resist energy-type weapons. Even the weapons of the fifth-level civilization cannot violate the principles of physics. Therefore, the thing fired by this so-called matter disintegration cannon is most likely not a traditional directed energy weapon.

In other words, it is not what humans think of as a directed energy weapon.

In the human scientific system, the so-called directed energy weapons, also called beam energy weapons, are weapons technology developed based on optics. The same is true for polarization shields, which are all things on the same technology tree.

Optics, or light, is just a manifestation of electromagnetic force.

Therefore, this weapon that can ignore polarization shields is definitely not a traditional energy weapon. It may be a weapon developed based on a certain technological path under the theory of the Theory of Everything.

But no matter what, the ability of this cannon to decompose matter is certain, and humans will not be wrong about this. And a warship of a level 5 civilization cannot have only this kind of weapon, so this warship is definitely just a level 5 civilization spaceship.

Perhaps, it was just a probe spacecraft borrowed by the civilization in the animated picture. The experts on the Tianqin believed that only a probe spacecraft would be equipped with a single weapon.

I have to say, their guess was quite accurate, it was indeed a detection spacecraft.

"Anything else? Did you find that the spaceship has a shield or something?" Yue Yuan asked again.

This question made the first mate of the Jupiter silent, because the third and second fleets of mankind had been fighting with the spaceship for such a long time, but they had never encountered each other or hit each other, so naturally they didn't know what defensive measures the other side had.

Yue Yuan also thought of this immediately after asking the question, so he added: "Send all the data of the battleship, including its appearance and image. We still have eight days to arrive, and the follow-up fleet will take even longer."

The first officer of the Jupiter said, "No problem. With our current rate of loss, we should be able to hold out for a month or so." Yue Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Have the Jupiter and Saturn tried it?"

The first officer of the Jupiter obviously knew what Yue Yuan was asking. He answered without hesitation: "No, the commanders of our Second Fleet and Third Fleet both believe that the six warships are the core of the fleet. They should not act rashly before they have explored the various data of the enemy ships. At present, the flagships of the two fleets are responsible for commanding the entire fleet and luring the enemy ships."

“Very good! Delay as long as possible and wait for us.” Yue Yuan nodded. Although he really wanted to know whether the six warships equipped with consciousness link devices could sense any gains, he thought about the second and third fleets whose speed was only ten times the speed of light and they were not yet equipped with third-generation warp engines. The speed difference with the enemy ships was too great. Even if the third-person driving mode was powerful enough, it would be restricted by the performance of the warships and could not be fully utilized.

The good news now is that the weapons of that level 5 civilization warship are only light speed, and this news made everyone on the Lyra breathe a sigh of relief.

Yes, if they were really equipped with some kind of weapon that travels a hundred times faster than light, the second and third fleets would have been wiped out long ago.

This news also indirectly proves the correctness of human speculation - this level 5 civilization spaceship was borrowed, and it is very likely that the level 5 civilization did not know what the dynamic picture civilization was going to do with it, otherwise they would never give a spaceship with low killing efficiency.

In other words, the dynamic picture civilization still wants to kill human civilization alone and take the so-called pioneer treasure for itself.

Greed is sometimes a good thing.

If it weren't for the greed of the civilization in the animated picture to keep it all for itself, it is estimated that humans would be facing a real fifth-level civilization warship or fleet now. If this were true, it is estimated that humans would really be wiped out from the universe.

Eight days passed quickly, and when the Lyra arrived at the battlefield, it was also shocked by the countless wreckage of warships in the battlefield star field.

The detector scanned the area and found that the entire dark space was filled with the wreckage of human warships. Most of them had turned into a pile of lifeless scrap metal. Half of warships were everywhere, and a few still had some sparks flashing, but were missing more than half.

Judging from the state of these destroyed warships, the level 5 civilization seemed to have found the location where the human warships stored antimatter fuel. Almost every warship seen now was directly taken away by a wave of energy caused by the secondary energy explosion caused by the destruction of the antimatter storage warehouse.

It was different from what the Lyra saw in the initial star field.

At this time, there were more than 300,000 ships in the human fleet that could still move. In just eight days, more than 700,000 ships were destroyed by this level 5 civilization warship.

At the moment when the Lyra arrived at the battlefield for exploration, more than a thousand warships were destroyed.

Obviously, the attack efficiency of that level 5 civilization spacecraft is much higher. If it continues at this speed, the second and third fleets of humanity will be wiped out in a few days.

At the moment when the human flagship Lyra arrived at the battlefield, it was also discovered by the level 5 civilization spaceship, because the speed displayed by Lyra was so unusual that it would be difficult for a level 5 civilization spaceship not to be discovered in the same star field.

It was at this moment that the level 5 civilization spaceship, after directly blowing up a human warship, made a full warp speed turn in the starry sky and headed straight towards the Lyra.
