Chapter 128 Proton Torpedo!
Du Xingyu has been developing proton torpedo for a long time, and the current progress is 83%.
The so-called proton torpedo, as the name suggests, is to launch protons as weapons.
In terms of mass, the nucleus of a matter is composed of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons. Each proton and neutron have a mass of about 2,000 times that of electrons, and for most elements, their overall mass is roughly the same. So almost half of the mass of all matter is protons (hydrogen is the exception, it is composed of a proton and an electron).
Generally speaking, the positive charge carried by protons in the nucleus of a matter and the negative charge carried by electrons will form a stable equilibrium.
And if any party is stripped out, the balance will be quickly broken!
A gram of proton, if they do not carry electrons to zero, will generate an electric field strong enough to peel the electrons from their main atoms and ionize the air 15 kilometers away. Such a huge and strong magnetic field can make lightning pass through granite within a range of 10 kilometers!
Materials that have been stripped of electrons will also be damaged, and humans currently have no materials that can resist this damage.
The problem that bothers Du Xingyu is that if you obtain so many protons and store them in space torpedoes, it will become an extremely destructive electric field weapon!
"Invest 10 million energy points and start proton bullet simulation." Du Xingyu established a proton ammunition simulation on the technology simulator.
He needs to build a device to obtain enough protons and ensure that these protons will be released after the space torpedo contacts the target.
"Proton stripping successfully... polymerization starts to simulate...polymerization failed." In the simulator, the positive charge generated by the proton directly strips the electrons of the storage device, causing damage to the storage device.
Du Xingyu adjusted his thinking: "Maybe I should use a magnetic field to constrain the proton bullet first. When the explosion occurs, the scattered protons will be ejected, which will facilitate transportation and create a larger damage area."
He started the simulation again, it was a race against time.
Du Xingyu did not sleep for three days and three nights and invested hundreds of millions of energy points. Sometimes when he could not solve the problem himself, he could also obtain some useful information through the "inspiration trigger" function of the technology simulator.
In his mind, a star destroyer floated in space, and the simulated proton torpedo fired at the star destroyer and hit its craft.
First of all, there is a violent explosion, and the destruction of the Star Destroyer itself can withstand most of the power of the explosion.
However, the proton shrapnel ejected in the torpedo were not stopped by the solid hull material. They quickly stripped away the electrons of the hull material to achieve their own charge balance.
This process formed a super electric field with extremely strong penetration, which instantly penetrated the hull. Not only that, because the original hull material electrons were deprived, a chain reaction was formed, causing greater destructive power, and the Star Destroyer was bombarded with a big hole!
Technology Simulator: "Proton torpedo simulation succeeds!"
"Nice!" Du Xingyu's nerves were finally relaxed. The proton torpedo could be developed and he would not be helpless when dealing with the Star Destroyer!
Moreover, he found that the ideal attack location for proton torpedo was not the hull, but the nuclear fusion reactor of enemy warships!
Think about it, the released protons rushed into the reactor. It may have a small mass and does not cause damage to the reaction device at the macroscopic level. But at a microscopic angle, the damage caused by protons will cause a nuclear fusion chain reaction until the entire reactor is destroyed!
Du Xingyu immediately made people start manufacturing proton torpedo because it was a newly developed high-tech space weapon. Proton torpedoes cannot be mass-produced, so they can only get a small amount of proton torpedoes in the R&D laboratory.
Three days later, the proton torpedoes were sent to the Dragon Ball.
This star destroyer will participate in the Battle of Pluto and will be the main strike force.
Du Xingyu boarded a specially made space cruiser, Dragon Head.
This is the third generation of planetary space cruiser, with a length of one thousand meters, in the shape of a shuttle, and a maximum speed of one percent of the speed of light. Its reconnaissance range and acceleration speed are faster than that of the same warship.
Du Xingyu will take the Dragon Head to the Uranus defense line, which is the rear of the battlefield.
Mars is too far from Pluto, and it takes more than five hours to transmit information. Once a battlefield changes or some unexpected technological weapon appears, if the command center only receives the news five hours later, the fleet may have been destroyed!
That's why he wanted to go to the Uranus defense line to facilitate the reception of information and command faster. The specially made Dragon Head can also ensure his safety.
The secret operation of sneak attack on Pluto is underway.
The giant whale mothership of the sea civilization has arrived at Neptune and has begun to collect energy. More sea civilization warships are also flying towards Neptune.
The human Dragon Hard Fleet slowed down and slowly approached Neptune. At present, a large number of laser satellites and unmanned space fighters have collided with each other.
The Dragon Wei fleet began to suffer damage, but they did not mean to retreat at all, as if they decided to stop the Neptune mining plan of the sea civilization.
In Pluto's outer space, the Whale Shark Star Destroyer and seventy sea civilized space warships are anchored here, guarding this "military warehouse" behind.
"Your Majesty has arrived at Neptune." On the Whale Shark, the deputy commander of the Sea Fleet, the captain of the Whale Shark, was discussing with his subordinates.
"Did there be any abnormal movements in the human Dragon Hard fleet?" he asked.
"They are still moving towards Neptune, but they are all starting to slow down. There is no sign of attacking us." The subordinate replied, "The fleets near Earth and Mars are still cruising normally, without major changes."
"Huh?" Jinpliers were a little confused. "It's obvious that they were looking for death when they collided with the giant whale mothership... Could it be that they wanted to play the previous harassment tactics again?"
"Captain, maybe humans think this can bring us losses." said the subordinate, "In fact, they are just struggling to death!"
"Anyway, strengthen the detection of the human fleet..." said Jinpliers. "I have read a lot of human books recently. This is a very cunning civilization. They must have other purposes!"
...
"Report to Captain, we are only one day away from Pluto!" On the Dragon Ball, the deputy captain reported to Zhu Zhenxing, "We have entered the enemy's reconnaissance range!"
Zhu Zhenxing's eyes gradually became fierce and he said, "Send all warships to start the fastest speed. This is a raid! Destroy any enemy's facilities when you see them!"
"From now on, within 40 hours, we will resolve the battle!"
The enemy will soon find them and then return to the aid, but it will take time to return to the aid!
Although the warships of the sea civilization can reach the speed of light at the fastest of 5% of the speed of light, it does not mean that the warships will immediately have such a high speed as soon as they are started.
It requires a long acceleration process, and the current distance from Neptune to Pluto is 2.3 billion kilometers. This distance is not enough for the other party to accelerate to one percent of the speed of light!
According to their calculations, it will take at least 55 hours for the enemy to return to Pluto, so this battle should be as fast as lightning!
Two hours later, the Whale Shark.
"Captain! A human warship was found within the reconnaissance range!" The subordinate immediately sent a message to the captain's office.
"What? Where is the human warship?" The gold clamp was alarmed and asked quickly, "The Dragon Marine warship should not have turned!"
"It's not the Dragon Hard Fleet, but other human ships. There are about a hundred ships, moving towards Pluto, and they are expected to arrive in twenty hours!"
"It's indeed a cunning human being!" said the Golden Pliers angrily, "They are actually trying to attack Neptune, in fact, to sneak attack our Pluto base!"
"But just a hundred warships think they can successfully attack? It's too naive!"
"Tell me the order that all nearby spaceships and warships will immediately enter the state of war. The military defense devices on Pluto are fully activated..."
The gold clamp made quick adjustments, and it also passed the news to the giant whale mothership.
"Very good, is this what humans call "speaking around in the world?" Lemog's beard was squirming wildly, which shows that he is in a bad mood now.
"I will immediately transfer fifty warships to return to defense. You will defend the Pluto base. Let's have a double-team for the front and back so that they will never return!"
"Abide by the order!"
...
"Commander Du, we are about to arrive at the battlefield. It seems that the enemy not only does not want defense, but also plans to take the initiative!" Zhu Zhenxing was communicating with Du Xingyu. Although it was still a bit delayed, it was much better than on Mars.
"Then let's kill all the way!" Du Xingyu ordered, "I remind you that one hundred asteroid impactors are pushing one hundred large meteorites to crash into Pluto. It is expected to arrive in eight hours."
"In these eight hours, you not only have to destroy the opponent's main force, but also destroy the main defense facilities on Pluto. There is only one opportunity, do you understand?"
"clear!"
In the vacuum area outside Pluto, the human fleet finally met the sea civilization fleet!
"Now we have the advantage of numbers. Let us first release unmanned fighter jets and laser satellites. The cruise ships and battleships behind me will have full firepower. Pay attention to the formation and don't be too close to each other!" Zhu Zhenxing ordered.
"Open fire!"
In the starry sky, more than a hundred space warships have begun to attack each other, and the dense space unmanned fighter jets and laser satellites have been released from the warships on both sides.
And each battleship locks its own targets, the crazy output of lasers, space torpedoes and electromagnetic cannons.
The first second of the war, the warships were destroyed, and they burst into bright and short-lived light in the dark space, illuminating the battlefield.
"This is Fengyu No. 5. Our ship has destroyed the target cruise ship and is ready to go to the R-69 area to assist Fengyu No. 2 in attack."
"Reported that Kunpeng-37 was damaged by laser, the warship has been severely damaged, and our ship has lost its combat effectiveness."
"Kunpeng-37, abandon the ship immediately!"
"Kunpeng-37 received!"
"Target Sailfish 23 Battleship, request fire support!"
"There is a gap in Area 9, and Fengyan No. 4 will be blocked!"
"The enemy warships in Area 13 have been cleared, please give me instructions!"
"Go to Area 15 and siege the Whale Shark!"
...
In the battlefield, huge amounts of information are generated at every moment. With the assistance of artificial intelligence, the captains coordinated to fight with each other.
