How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 462: Antimatter Spear (Part 1)

  【With a gamma ray cannon, it's really easy. 】

  暝 also threw out a blueprint for the design. As it said, the structure is indeed very simple. The original nuclear radioactive material inside has been removed, and an antimatter container is directly used to replace these nuclear radioactive material vacancies.

The annihilation of positive and negative matter releases gamma rays, and there is no need for any special troublesome conversion process. As long as the hydrogen cluster is sprayed inside the container containing the anti-hydrogen cluster, a large amount of gamma rays will naturally be released, which is more powerful than the previous design. At least the energy level has been increased by hundreds of times, and both the range and the power are crushing for the old version.

   But this is also not so good, because the gamma rays released by antimatter are too strong, and the original radiation protection design can no longer effectively defend against the gamma rays released in the barrel.

This is similar to replacing the artillery charge with a nuclear bomb, because the power of the charge has been greatly improved, and the gun speed and range have been significantly increased, but this also means that the strength of the original gun barrel can no longer be effective. The restraint filling explosive exploded, and once used, it would cause a martyrdom explosion that would hurt the user.

The oolong event of dying of their own gamma rays was obviously not something that the collectors wanted to see, so they began to redesign the gamma ray protection layer and the solid helium cooling system, which is the same as the previous antimatter advancement, except that the antimatter advancement It is a trumpet-shaped nozzle, and the gamma-ray cannon is a long tube.

   "However, pulse weapons have a limited range after all, but they are only extended by the high energy of antimatter."

   [What's wrong? Is the gamma ray gun still flawed? 】

   "No, it's not this. I'm just thinking that gamma rays should not be enough for the battle we may encounter in the future."

   Huo Gu explained his thoughts to Min.

   "The existence of antimatter makes it possible to fight on a large scale in the universe, but it also means that the battle mode will be different from the past."

  【Different? How is it different? 】

"For example, antimatter propulsion can travel at sub-light speeds, but the upper limit of the radar wave speed is the speed of light. That is to say, the'eyes' and the'hands' are about the same speed. If we are facing an enemy who also has antimatter, fighting on both sides is very likely. The battle will be carried out in a surprise attack instead of queuing to shoot."

   "So we should consider more other types of weapons, such as moving the sub-light speed gun to the universe."

   Huogu published his idea on the Life Field channel, and other collectors digitized the idea after receiving it and passed it to collectors on other planets via radio communication.

There are two genetic blueprints. The first one is a gun. The barrel is a circle of low-temperature superconducting coils used to generate a strong magnetic field, but the strange thing is that the barrel of this gun is not long, and gamma is added. Radiation protection layer.

   The second one is an anti-matter projectile, in which there are equal parts of anti-hydrogen group and hydrogen group.

   Together, these two are the ship-borne sub-light speed gun conceived by Huogu.

The    cannon is an electromagnetic cannon. Although it can accelerate and restrain the cannonball, it is not enough to increase the speed of the cannonball to sub-light speed. This is just an ordinary electromagnetic cannon.

The key is the cannonball. The electromagnetic cannon will provide the initial initial velocity of the cannonball. When the cannonball moves forward, the inertial pressure will squeeze the positive and negative materials into the small space behind to cause annihilation reaction. The huge energy will return the physical warhead. It is increased to sub-light speed before leaving the electromagnetic gun barrel.

   The gamma-ray defense of the electromagnetic gun is designed for this.

Because the shell is a one-time thing, there is no need to consider the heat dissipation of the shell. A vacuum sandwich is left in the middle of the shell. The vacuum is a good insulation layer, and the huge amount of gamma-ray heat will only be absorbed. Staying in the second half of the shell, only the second half will be melted into a plasma state.

The advantage of this design is that it has strong applicability and does not have high requirements for the external environment. The same effect can be achieved even if the artillery is used. As long as the projectile itself can be given kinetic energy to form sufficient inertial pressure, it can be thrown out by hand. Let the shells reach sublight speed.

If it is traditionally accelerated by magnetic orbit, it is also possible, but it is more troublesome to use and the fragility is obvious. After all, to accelerate the shell, a stable internal electric field needs to be maintained. If it is damaged, it cannot be maintained. And because of the large volume, Whether it is checking damage or defensive repair, it takes more time and energy. Accelerating requires a long-term high-intensity magnetic field and energy supply, so it is not very suitable for interstellar battlefields.

  【Such a design is very interesting, it is Huo Gu. 】

   "This is the most powerful method we have at present, but this is far from enough. We need to prevent problems before they happen, so we need more attack methods that can match."

   Except for sublight guns and gamma rays, there is nothing too ideal about Hogu and they are suitable for large-scale interstellar warfare attack methods.

   "Will, in addition to these two, we can also trigger a supernova explosion. This is not complicated. The Empire has already told us how to detonate it."

Some collectors responded to Huogu’s words and proposed a third type of devastating killer, which is far more terrifying than the first two weapons-black hole bomb ~ lightnovelpub.net~ to create a black hole Bombs are not difficult. It requires antimatter and high-density matter to create artificial black holes. All that is left is to put the black hole into the star before it evaporates, and the supernova will explode.

  It is not difficult to obtain highly dense matter. As long as you dig a shaft tens of thousands of kilometers deep on the planet, and then fill it with liquid water, the water pressure at the bottom of the shaft will naturally produce highly dense matter.

   Then take out this high-density matter under the high-pressure state, and wrap it with a large amount of antimatter, and a bomb that can explode a small-mass black hole is finished.

   There is no need to add deuterium-tritium elements that can initiate nuclear fusion, because Hougu and their antimatter resources are large enough to allow them to use such a squandering antimatter design.

   The power of this kind of bomb lies not in the black hole itself after the explosion, but in the supernova explosion. This is the most terrifying cosmic disaster in the observable universe. It is useless to hide from a few light years away. The aftermath of a supernova explosion can still be reached.

Every star in a river system has a supernova explosion, which can affect the entire river system. The first mass extinction on the earth was caused by a gamma-ray burst of supernovae. Fortunately, the earth is far away. Otherwise, the Earth's ecosystem may not still exist.

   Only extreme celestial bodies such as black holes and pulsars can resist supernova explosions.

The black hole bomb is a big killer that is quite suitable for the war of destruction. If you encounter a very terrifying and tricky opponent in the future, it is not a good choice to artificially trigger a supernova explosion from a star in the battlefield more than ten light-years away-Huo Gu's assessment The strategic value of this weapon.
