Chapter 428: A Fleet of Tens of Millions of Warships

Although magnetic thruster technology cannot be directly used in warship weapons, a civilization that can develop magnetic thrust must have conducted more in-depth research on magnetic field technology.

Therefore, the naval guns of the third-level civilization, in addition to the weapons that the second-level civilization already has, seem to be a group of nanorobots, but the problem cannot be seen in this way. Due to the deeper research on the development route of electromagnetic force, the third-level civilization will take a new step in the application of magnetic fields.

Just like people today, many derivative technologies have been born due to research on nano and magnetic thrust.

This makes the magnetic field shield of the new warship more powerful than before, and the anti-magnetic layer is also more stable, that is, the harsh cosmic environment will have less impact on the new warship.

Take the previous quasi-magnetic star as an example. The location that could not be approached before can be freely moved by the new warships now. This is the intuitive manifestation of scientific and technological progress.

Similarly, the same is true for weapons. The advancement of magnetic field technology will also give birth to more powerful plasma cannons. Although this energy weapon can be resisted by the polarization shield, the maintenance of the polarization shield also requires energy.

As long as the impact exceeds the tolerance of the polarization shield, the polarization shield can be broken. Well, the so-called polarization shield is an improvement of the low-temperature plasma shield, which can defend against energy weapons such as lasers and plasma.

Human scientists believe that this is one of the iconic technologies of the third-level civilization.

Of course, the polarization shield cannot defend against kinetic weapons, so the main gun of the new flagship Tianqin is still an electromagnetic railgun, but it is not the same one back then, but an electromagnetic railgun that has been upgraded with the third-level civilization technology.

Let's put it this way, if the two are compared, the new electromagnetic railgun can cause a meteorite power comparable to the extinction of dinosaurs as long as it fires at a planet from the planetary orbit.

Although it still cannot directly blow up a planet and is not a star-blasting weapon, it can easily completely destroy the ecological environment of a planet.

Under the repeated bombing, the life planet can also be bombarded with large-scale volcanic eruptions, the global temperature rises, and all the creatures in the world are extinct, becoming a real hell.

With this kind of attack intensity, humans at the second-level civilization level need to spend a lot of time to bury a large number of high-yield hydrogen bombs to achieve it, but now it only takes a battleship to spend some time to do it.

The advancement of technology has brought about a huge difference in power.

It can be said that after reaching the third-level civilization, humans have truly gained the power to directly shake the stars with violence and have the ability to easily destroy an ecosystem.

These are the powers that crush the second-level civilization.

There is no level of civilization in the universe. It is just that after a certain technology is used, the civilization with this technology has the ability to crush other civilizations, so gradually, the concept of civilization level has emerged.

Humans have come step by step from the zero-level civilization, and this feeling is very intuitive, because every time a warship is created, it can crush the previous warship.

And now that we have entered the third-level civilization, this feeling is even more intuitive. Just from the various parameters of the sea-level warships that have been manufactured, such a warship is enough to beat the entire combat power of a second-level civilization.

The universe is not metaphysics, and there is no such thing as a leapfrog counterattack. At least now humans have not encountered a civilization that has this ability.

In addition to being large, the new Tianqin has also made innovations in the shells of the main gun electromagnetic railgun, adding many third-level civilization technologies.

Take true nanotechnology for example. After years of research, humans have successfully loaded ant-like nanorobots into artillery shells as warheads. In the envisioned war, this kind of artillery shell will be used as a nanorobot war between enemies.

Because this kind of nanorobot has the function of cutting chemical bonds, they can easily "melt" a hole in a warship. Yes, it is a chemical bond, not a metal bond that has just mastered this technology. This is one of the manifestations of human technological progress over the years.

Some people study offensive weapons, so there must be people studying defensive weapons.

Energy weapons such as plasma and laser have polarization shield defense, positron guns have magnetic field shield defense, and the electromagnetic railguns of conventional hydrogen bomb warheads also have multi-layer composite armor as defense, so what about the electromagnetic guns of the nanorobot swarm warheads?

The answer given by weapons experts is a repairable nanorobot swarm.

In their plan, each new warship must be equipped with a military industry department to produce various types of shells and nano-repair robots, and the warship inventory must also maintain a certain number of nano-repair robots, which can be used to fight against the nano-robots attached to the warships and destroy the warships after the warships are hit by the opponent's nano-robot shells.

From this point, it is not difficult to see why the symbol technology of the third-level civilization is true nano-technology. When other weapons are less effective, the point of competition between the two sides becomes true nano-technology. Whoever studies more deeply in the field of nano-technology and whose nano-robot group is stronger, the greater the chance of winning.

Of course, human civilization is so lucky that it can be regarded as another advantage to research No. 2 alloy material from the unknown alien civilization spacecraft.

Time flies, a hundred years have passed, two hundred years have passed, three hundred years have passed, and four hundred years have passed.

Five hundred years, humans have used the time of "a five-finger mountain" to create one large space structure after another in this red dwarf galaxy, and manufactured one sea-class warship after another, one new type of living spacecraft after another, various types of spacecraft, and carriers.

It was also during this short period of 500 years that humans, relying on the powerful industrial productivity of the third-level civilization, finally made the entire civilization look brand new.

Residents moved into the new spaceship, and the administrative center and military command center of human civilization were also moved from the old Tianqin to the new Tianqin.

Brand-new spaceships, brand-new warships, brand-new instruments and equipment, everything is brand-new.

The development of no hibernation for nearly 500 years has also increased the human population from 200 million to 5 billion. This growth rate seems to be a large span, but it is actually not fast.

The most fundamental reason is still the life potion. If it were not for the limitation of the effective period of the life potion, it would not be a problem for the human population to exceed 50 billion during the 500-year non-hibernation development period.

Based on the capacity of each sea-class residential spaceship of 500,000 people, 10,000 sea-class spaceships are enough to accommodate 5 billion people. Of course, in fact, a sea-class residential spaceship can accommodate more people, with a maximum of about 1 million people, but for the comfort of residents, the new government thinks 500,000 people are appropriate.

Anyway, it’s just 10,000 residential spaceships, which is not a problem at all for today’s human beings. After all, tens of millions of warships can be produced.
