Chapter 426, It’s Time to Show Your Real Skills
The Oort Cloud Belt of the Centauri Galaxy is far away from the prosperous inner circle. Even the farthest interstellar mining ship will not go deep into here. At this time, in the dark, cold and gloomy void, large spaceships with the logo of the Imperial Academy of Sciences are brightly lit.
Small spaceships are constantly shuttling in the void to set up experimental sites. Various detectors are densely distributed in the void, and scientists on the spaceships are also looking at the void.
Opposite the many spaceships is a large space battleship. This large space battleship is directly allocated from the main large space battleships in service in the empire for experimental testing.
The main large space battleships of the empire have a mass of more than 10 billion tons and are equipped with the most powerful energy shield. Once the energy shield is opened, even the main guns on the original main large space battleships of the empire, the magnetic energy weapons and energy weapons with an attack power of level 7 cannot break through the energy shield on the battleship.
They could only rely on a very clumsy method, gathering many main guns to attack with concentrated fire, and using the method of consuming energy to destroy the space battleship, which was very time-consuming and labor-consuming. The shield had a certain advantage between the spear and the shield.
"Group 1 is ready."
"Group 1 is ready."
"..."
Here in the command and control center, as the sound of preparation continued to sound, the time for the level 8 energy weapon test was coming soon.
"It's time to show real skills."
Bai Cai smiled and nodded to his favorite student Sikong Zhi. Sikong Zhi, who received the order, began to command this test with full authority.
"Sword test countdown, 3, 2, 1!"
Sikong Zhi gently pressed a button, and through quantum communication technology, this order was almost simultaneously created on a spaceship in the nearby void.
This spaceship, which was branded with the standards of the Imperial Energy Science Research Institute, was not too large. It could only be regarded as a medium-sized spaceship. The spaceship had already accumulated huge energy. As the order from the command center was conveyed, a cyan light instantly shot out.
This cyan light is different from the previous pure white dazzling energy attack. In addition to the difference in color, if you observe carefully, you will find that this cyan light is actually like a substance, with sharp edges and corners, and it is really like a sharp sword, with an extremely sharp edge.
The dark and gloomy void is like a black curtain, which is easily cut open by this cyan sword. Wherever the edge passes, the void seems to produce ripples faintly, which is something that energy weapons in the past could never do.
Energy weapons, as the name suggests, energy itself has no substantial existence. We are bathed in the sun, but we can't say that we can catch the sun with our hands. We live in the huge magnetic field environment of the earth, and we can't see the magnetic field with our naked eyes, let alone say that we can catch the magnetic field with our hands.
Energy, no matter what kind of energy, magnetic energy, light energy, electrical energy, any kind of energy has no substantial existence. It is impossible to say that we can feel and catch it with our hands like trees, soil, rocks, etc.
However, at this moment, this cyan light seemed to be real. The edges and corners of the cyan light could be clearly seen, just like pure cyan crystal. This was a sign that the energy had condensed to the extreme, transforming from invisible to visible, and becoming real.
The powerful energy condensed together to produce a real scene. At the same time, even the void seemed unable to withstand the power of the cyan sword. A trace of ripples rippled in the void. Although it was very weak and far from being comparable to the ripples caused by the start of the warp engine, the ripples in the void still made people feel the sharpness of the cyan sword. This sharpness seemed to cut even the space.
The cyan energy attack, which was like a real thing, cut through the dark void at the speed of light, and attacked the large space battleship that had already opened the energy shield with an unmatched momentum.
"Boom!"
The energy shield on the large space battleship used for testing was like a punctured balloon or bubble. The cyan light column was like the sharpest needle, easily breaking the energy shield, without even a ripple on the energy shield.
"Boom!"
After piercing the energy shield on the large space battleship, the powerful cyan sword instantly descended on the large space battleship. Almost in an instant, the large space battleship turned into a huge ball of fire and exploded in the void, illuminating a large area of dark void around it.
"Haha!"
"Great!"
"Yeah!"
Witnessing everything that happened in the void, the scientists of the Empire on the spaceships couldn't help but shout out excitedly, especially the scientists of the Energy Science Research Institute. In order to develop energy weapons with level 8 intensity attacks, these scientists have been working day and night for many years.
Some scientists even shed tears of excitement, because they have paid a lot, and when success comes knocking on the door, this kind of excitement is difficult for outsiders to understand.
"8.6 level, I didn't expect it to reach the strength of 8.6 level. It has just been successfully studied. It seems that it will soon reach the attack strength of 9 level."
Li Fu's eyes were shining. Xiaoying just told Li Fu the results of the test. Through the comparison in the civilization seeds, Li Fu knew that the attack power of the "sword" was not just as simple as 8 level, but reached the terrible level of 8.6 level.
Although this 8.6 level is still an attack of level 8 strength, the higher the energy attack is studied, the more difficult it is to increase even 0.1. The gap between 8.0 and 8.6 is also very huge.
"Bai Cai, Sikong Zhi, you did a good job."
Li Fu gave his praise with a smile on his face.
"Haha, Xiao Baicai, you are awesome. I am convinced this time."
Yu Liang, who has always been carefree, also gave Bai Cai a thumbs up very cherishedly.
"With such powerful weapons, hehe, we don't need to be afraid of the Kolov Empire even if there are more troops."
Luo Xiaoyao of the Imperial Army also straightened his back and felt powerful and strong. Now facing the upcoming 50,000 fleets of the Kolov Empire, he seemed to have no pressure.
The Empire and the Kolov Empire have mastered the energy shield technology, and the energy shield technology should be comparable, but in terms of attack, the attack strength of the Kolov Empire warships should be at level 7, which is not much different from the original attack of the Empire warships.
So the war between the two sides is actually a competition of who has a deeper foundation and who has a larger number of warships. There is no doubt that the Empire is definitely not as good as the Kolov Empire in these two aspects.
The Kolov Empire can easily send out 50,000 fleets, and its own standing fleet is as many as 500,000, while the total number of the Empire's army is only 1,000, and this is based on the foundation laid by arms trade for many years. The two sides are not at the same level in terms of quantity.
Therefore, facing the upcoming 50,000 fleets of the Kolov Empire, Luo Xiaoyao has been thinking hard about countermeasures, but if the strength gap is too big, no strategy will have much effect.
But now it is completely different. The Empire has an energy attack weapon with a strength of 8, and its strength has changed dramatically. The Empire's army can kill the Kolov Empire's warships with just one attack, but the Kolov Empire's warships still cannot break the Empire's energy shield.
In a one-on-one battle on the battlefield, even if the Kolov Empire has more space battleships, it will not be enough for the Empire's army to destroy them. After all, after a war, a battleship can at least launch hundreds of attacks.
"Continue testing!"
Sikong Zhi's face was full of smiles, but the test was not over yet. What was just tested was only the power of the "sword". The power of a weapon is a very important indicator of success or failure, but the attack distance and attack frequency are also very important.
"Attack distance, 50 million kilometers!"
"The attack distance is 20 million kilometers longer than the previous energy weapons. If we continue to study, we can almost catch up with the attack distance of the magnetic cannon."
"It takes 30 minutes to recharge, which is twice as long as the previous energy weapons. But there is no other way. The power has increased so much, so it takes more time to recharge."
Soon, each data was clearly displayed in front of everyone. Everyone studied carefully with smiles on their faces. The attack power is amazing, the attack distance is very long, and the attack frequency is still acceptable. Such a powerful weapon is definitely the trump card in the hands of the empire.
"Boom!"
In the void, a green sword cut through the void, and the energy like substance descended on a large asteroid. The diameter of this asteroid is tens of thousands of kilometers. The whole is a very regular sphere, and most of the elements that make up the asteroid are iron.
Such a huge asteroid with a very large mass should be difficult to destroy. However, the blue sword descended upon the asteroid. The blue "sword" was like an extremely sharp machete. In an instant, it cut the huge asteroid into two halves like cutting a watermelon, and then exploded in the void in an instant, and countless fragments continued to drift in all directions.
