From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 611 Spectrum Destroyer

Time seemed to have been accelerated inadvertently. Ever since the Atlas Group completed its first wave of acquisitions of physical industries and the Renaissance Alliance, under the operation of Franklin, began to secretly collude with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the situation in the entire universe suddenly changed.

If Amber didn't know that there was no connection between these events, she would have suspected that there was a chain reaction.

First, let’s talk about the issues with the Thousand Star Empire from Ellenita’s side.

In a corner where no one cares, the conflict between the 'conservatives' and 'equal rights' factions within the elves has become increasingly serious, and has recently escalated directly into a bloody conflict.

On a relatively remote planet, psychic warriors from both sides even engaged in armed fighting in the streets, which resulted in the regular elven army, which had not been officially deployed on the planet for hundreds of years, having to show up to prevent the escalation of the conflict between the two sides.

According to Ellenita, the Phoenix King had already met with the leaders of the two major factions, the 'conservatives' and the 'equal rights', two days ago and asked them to restrain the radical elements within their factions and not make the situation worse.

It is reported that the reason for the escalation of this conflict may really be attributed to the Atlas Group or Amber.

"Ah? Why did you, the Phoenix King, pass the blame to me?"

After hearing Alanita's description, Amber on the other end of the video call felt as if something was wrong.

"No, the Roma issue in your Thousand Star Empire has been like this for many years. Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open. Our Atlas Group is in a difficult situation now!

"Phoenix King, please find out the reason for yourself. You have been lying down for so many years. Has the social status of the Roma people improved? Have you done a good job in integrating the races?"

Hearing Amber's complaint, Ellenita laughed out loud, because she suddenly realized that compared to the Phoenix King, Amber was the real "non-stick pan".

"I am the only one who can listen to this. If you tell this to other elves, it might reach the Elf King's Court tomorrow~"

"That's what it is~" Amber waved her hands speechlessly, "The internal affairs of the Thousand Star Empire are finally attributed to a human opening a private enterprise?"

"Actually, in a way, Amber, this does have something to do with you."

"how do I say this?"

"Amber, are you still pretending not to know in front of me?" Ellenita raised her eyebrows and said unhappily.

"."

Of course Amber knew, and he was also very clear that the current situation of the Thousand Star Empire was indeed somewhat related to the Atlas Group.

As the Atlas Group expanded, more and more Roma people began to join the group.

Not all of them went to combat troops. A large number of them actually worked as technical workers, pioneers, office bodyguards, etc.

There is even a group of Roma women with more flexible thinking who have joined the financial business center and the group's public relations department.

Those cat girls, rabbit girls, and fox girls can be said to have natural advantages when doing this kind of work.

Therefore, at this time, the number of Roma within the Atlas Group and its various branches and subsidiaries, including the combat troops which make up the majority of the population, has already exceeded 30, and will continue to grow at a certain rate in the short term.

You have to know that due to the existence of Lilith, the number of administrative positions and clerical staff within the Atlas Group is more than 50% less than that of other traditional companies, so this number is all real people doing the work.

Some time ago, after the large-scale war came to an end, Amber also allowed the Roma who had joined the Atlas Group early on to take long vacations in batches.

Most of these Roma people, who already have a tradition of returning to their homeland, chose to return to the Thousand Star Empire and to the settlements of their own tribes.

When these Roma people, with a brand new look and some modifications to their bodies, returned to their settlements with their glittering claws and horns,
"A 'current of thought' has begun to emerge among the Roma."

Alanita paused, staring at Amber through the virtual screen, and then continued:

"A 'current of thought' that liberated the thinking of the group."

According to the description of this female elf, due to the descriptions of those who returned home, more and more Roma people began to think that "the world is so big and they should go and see it."

At the same time, they also realized that their own ethnic group was actually a very capable and excellent ethnic group, rather than a group that could only work as servants, waiters, hostesses and other service industries for the elves.

According to the information that Ellenita obtained from the Thousand Star Empire's regulatory department for the Roma through her own connections, more and more Roma people believe that they deserve "equal rights."

"There are even some Roma who think that we elves are deliberately oppressing their status," said Ellenita.

"So are you elves deliberately oppressing people?"

Amber suddenly asked in a serious and solemn tone.

Alanita obviously hasn't thought of an answer to this question yet. You said the elves enslaved the Roma? Actually, not really.
So after a while, she hesitantly shook her head.

"Amber, I don't know either."

"If even you don't know, then I don't know what to say~"

Amber shrugged and continued:

"I only know that I hired the Roma, which should not violate the laws of the Thousand Star Empire. So theoretically, neither you, me, nor the Atlas Group need to bear any responsibility. I will say the same thing even when I meet the Phoenix King."

"Then you have to prepare well~" Ellenita suddenly smiled, "I guess after we deal with the domestic issues during this period, the Phoenix King may really want to talk to you in person."

"Tsk!"

Amber helplessly covered her forehead with her hands, and her whole body seemed to be deflated, and she instantly collapsed.

"How come all these things happened at the same time? God, are you trying to kill me?"

"All gathered together?" Alanita was stunned and asked, "Did something else happen?"

"Yeah, it's just the Star Dragon Empire's '8 o'clock palace struggle' shit."

"Oh~"

Ellenita, who was originally a little serious, suddenly lit up her eyes after hearing Amber's words.

"It seems there is another 'news' that I don't know about?"

The power struggle in the Star Dragon Empire had no real impact on the Yuge family, because no matter who came to power, the elves would still do business with them as usual.

Therefore, Ellenita has always been keeping an eye on the latest developments of the Star Dragon Empire.

Amber did not hide anything and quickly synchronized the relevant information with Ellenita.

Just one day before Amber and Ellenita had this video conference, news suddenly came from the Star Dragon Empire that Agnes's coronation ceremony, which was originally scheduled to be held three months later, would be postponed for a while.

"The specific reason is still unknown, but rumors say that the main reason is that the old emperor Frederico seems to have recovered, and there is still a 'risk' of recovery, so he may plan to personally put the crown on Agnes." "The 'risk' of recovery. Hahahaha, Amber, you are really a big mouth..."

"Sweet~" Amber answered seriously.

In addition to the movements of the imperial royal family, Regent Norton II was also busy.

This regent, whose temperament has changed drastically since some time ago, can be said to have achieved remarkable results during this period.

At his instruction, the entire 'Regent Party' carried out a brutal and bloody purge, sweeping away a large amount of 'poisonous blood'.

Among them, the old imperial nobles within the "Regent Party" suffered the heaviest losses, and almost all of them were wiped out.

Amber had boasted about the "Cape Society" for a long time before, but under the iron-blooded purge of Norton II, she didn't even make any decent counterattack and became history.
The better scenario is that the family leader might be replaced by someone who is close to Norton II and even obeys his orders.

In cases where it was almost as if the entire family was basically destroyed, the remaining wealth and property were quickly divided up by others.

"It sounds like it's tightening its fist."

Ellenita frowned and thought, and continued:
"It may seem that the strength within the camp has been greatly reduced, but it actually does make the internal forces more 'pure', and it has all the power in its own hands."

Amber also nodded: "You are right. All signs show that Norton II is already preparing for the final showdown. Internal cleansing is only one aspect. It is even more obvious in the assembly and mobilization of the fleet and combat forces."

"Does the Imperial Family not know about this? Or are they just standing there and watching?"

"Of course they knew, and"

"drop----"

Amber was interrupted by a buzzer from his personal terminal before he finished speaking. He looked down and immediately stood up, saying to Alanita apologetically:

"Alenita, it's time for me. The battleship is about to enter combat mode. I guess we can only talk next time~"
-
By the time Amber arrived at the bridge of the new battleship under her feet, the entire ship had just completed the switch to combat status.

"Boss!"

When Guterres, who was sitting in the captain's seat, saw Amber, he immediately stood up and saluted him.

"How is the situation now?"

Guterres: "We have entered the scheduled combat position. The fleet of the Renaissance Alliance is currently in space 30 kilometers away, confronting the Shasta Galaxy Garrison Fleet, which should now be called the 'Independent Fleet'.

3 minutes ago, the Renaissance Alliance Fleet sent an encrypted message, saying that they are ready for battle and are just waiting for our "signal"."

"Then let's get started. The rest is up to you, General Guterres."

"Yes, Boss!"

The battleship that Amber and his crew are currently on is a new ship of the Atlas Group that is still in the process of actual combat testing, the Starlight-class battlecruiser.

The biggest difference between this type of battlecruiser and all previous human warships is that the main gun of the battleship has been replaced from a heavy particle cannon to a high-energy laser main gun system - the internal code name is Spectrum Destroyer.

This high-energy laser cannon, which was eventually finalized as 'SAHELC-MkII', consists of 2436 tiny but highly synchronized laser emission units, and has 7 levels of gain media, which can gradually amplify the initial laser signal to the final output stage.

It also uses a holographic focusing lens developed under the leadership of Saleh, which is derived from the pioneer technology - a complex system that combines physical and non-physical characteristics.

On the physical components, there are conventional optical frames and support structures as well as high-precision mirrors.

But when it comes to non-physical components, it is definitely a pioneer in black technology.

The most complicated and confusing one for Amber is the so-called holographic projection field technology.

This technology uses strong electromagnetic fields or quantum interference effects to create a virtual lens structure in a specific space. This structure can change its shape in real time as needed to achieve the most ideal focusing effect.

By adjusting the electromagnetic field parameters or quantum states, the focal length, curvature and other properties of the holographic lens can be dynamically adjusted to optimize the propagation path and energy distribution of the laser beam.

Of course, the most outrageous thing is that because the holographic lens is not made of solid matter, it is theoretically possible to manipulate the laser beam without introducing additional scattering or absorption.

That is to achieve the 'lossless characteristic' that only exists in theory.

In the Spectrum Destroyer high-energy laser cannon, the laser output by 2436 tiny emitting units is first initially focused by a series of physical mirrors and lenses, and then enters the final focusing area formed by the holographic projection field.

Here, the holographic lens automatically adjusts according to the distance and material of the target and the current environmental conditions, ensuring that the laser beam remains focused and smooth at a distance of 1 light second.

Finally, the warship will be able to illuminate the target at a distance of 1 light second.
This is also the most exciting part for Guterres, Randall and others. For other human warships at present, if they encounter a Starlight-class battlecruiser at this distance, they can't even fight back.

As Guterres excitedly issued the order to "prepare to attack", the three Starlight-class battlecruisers (experimental version) suddenly "came to life".

The QFR-X100 quantum fusion reactor inside the ship has high-temperature plasma at its core tightly bound by a powerful magnetic confinement field, like a tamed violent energy beast. The orange-red light shines through a special protective layer, illuminating the criss-crossing pipelines around it.

The liquid helium cooling system on the side continuously supplies low-temperature coolant, and a layer of white frost condenses on the surface of the fine pipes, ensuring that the reactor temperature is always maintained within the safety red line.

The matching SES-5000 superconducting energy storage array has neatly arranged superconductor coils. The faint blue electric light travels rapidly along the coils, making a crackling sound, quickly absorbing and storing the surging electrical energy, preparing sufficient ammunition for the impending war.

Guterres, sitting in the captain's seat, stared at the screen with deep eyes. When all the data entered the standard value, he opened his lips slightly, and his voice was steady and firm, which was transmitted to the three warships through the communication channel: "All ships, lock the target synchronously and prepare to launch."

Almost at the same time, the other two captains gave orders in perfect harmony:

"Quantum fusion reactor to full power, preheating the spectrum destroyer high-energy laser cannon."

In an instant, the energy readings in the reactor soared wildly, the powerful magnetic confinement field shone brightly, the originally orange-red plasma became even hotter and more violent, and the superconducting battery stack also entered a state of rapid charging.

"The gravitational wave sensor has locked onto the target, and the intelligent prediction algorithm has completed the calculation."

The artillery officer stood up suddenly, his eyes full of confidence, and reported loudly, "The estimated hit rate is 99.7%."

"Start the countdown, five... four... three... two... one... launch!" Guterres' order was loud and clear.

In an instant, the front ends of the three experimental ships shone brightly, so bright that it almost blinded people.

The laser beam emitted by the 'Spectrum Destroyer' is not ordinary visible light. The deep blue-purple light is like a light bridge leading to a mysterious other world.

Under the influence of high energy density, the laser operating wavelength falls into the transition region from near-infrared to ultraviolet. What can be seen with the naked eye is actually the magnificent light that bursts out when it excites plasma.

Each laser beam is generated by the coordinated power of thousands of tiny but precisely synchronized laser emitting units, converging into a surging torrent of energy that crosses the vast universe of nearly 30 kilometers in the blink of an eye.

The holographic focusing lens and the nano-mirror work together to continuously compress and shape the energy flow, and finally focus it into a thin ray of light with devastating power. It carries the cutting edge of human technology, pierces the vacuum at the speed of light, and rushes towards the target warship.
