Chapter 314 First Trial Particle Cannon

The asteroid belt is a dense area of ​​asteroids located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in the solar system, consisting of more than 50 asteroids.

The fleet was constantly accelerating, and soon broke away from the earth's gravity and flew directly to the asteroid belt.

Soon the spaceship arrived in the asteroid belt in less than a month. Although it is a very lonely thing to navigate in space, this voyage is different, because this operation is within the solar system, and because of the particle communication technology Success has made the communication between the rented space fleet and the earth faster. Although it is not yet synchronized due to technical reasons, the current communication is much faster than the previous quantum communication technology, and in fact Even in the asteroid belt, compared to the entire solar system, they are still very close to the earth, so they can often chat with family members.

Just as they entered the asteroid belt, the alarm system on the spacecraft sounded, because in front of their fleet, there was an asteroid blocking their way about 100 million kilometers away, and the diameter of this asteroid was About 200 meters.

If the technological level of their fleet this time is still in the era of the war with the Pangu Star Ruhr Stars, then they must avoid this asteroid. After all, the entire fleet was powerful at that time, but for such an asteroid with a diameter of more than 200 meters As far as the asteroid is concerned, it is still indestructible even with the most powerful electromagnetic rail gun at that time.

Only nuclear bombs can be used to destroy this asteroid, but using nuclear bombs to destroy this asteroid is really overkill. After all, as one of the most powerful weapons of mankind so far, Heda really shouldn't be wasted in these places, let alone the asteroid belt at this time There are not only small stars in the asteroid, but also countless civilian mining ships of the Ming Empire, so using nuclear bombs to destroy this asteroid is a huge threat to these civilian spacecraft.

When the alarm sounded, Zhu Lei ordered all the spaceships in the entire fleet to open the electromagnetic shields. Although the electromagnetic shields are very weak against physical attacks, it is better than nothing, at least to reduce the impact force. After opening the protective cover.

"The particle cannon is ready!"

The particle cannon on Zhu Lei's flagship is actually what people usually call a particle beam weapon, and particle beam weapons are collectively referred to as beam weapons together with laser weapons, because particle beam weapons can reach the speed of light or sub-light speed, If the target is attacked in the atmosphere, the particle beam weapon will collide with the molecules in the atmosphere to produce a beautiful beam, but this effect will not be produced in the universe, because there are no atmospheric molecules in the universe, or the atmospheric molecules are very If the energy of the particle beam weapon is relatively small, it will basically not produce any beam effect, let alone the colorful animation.

However, the particle cannons emitted by Zhu Lei and his spaceship are different, because the particle beams they emit are so powerful that they can even destroy a planet the size of the earth, so the beams they emit have this white light.

The basic principle of particle beam weapons is to use a magnetic field to accelerate particles and then launch them in clusters, using the energy generated by the high-speed impact of particle clusters and the effect of a secondary magnetic field to instantly vaporize the target.

In fact, in this world as early as 20 years ago, the particle weapons of various countries basically had very mature theoretical research, but due to various problems, especially energy problems, they have not been able to be deployed in actual combat.

But now 20 years have passed, due to the rapid development of human science and technology, this weapon has moved from theory to actual combat, and compared with 20 years ago, this weapon has substantially improved both in terms of range and power.

And Zhu Lei and the others are going to attack the asteroid in front of them this time to test this kind of weapon. After all, this kind of weapon has never been used since it was equipped on the spacecraft, and it has not even been tested. The power of the weapon is too huge, but the particle beam weapon with less power has been tested many times, and the test is very successful.

Following Zhu Lei's order, the particle cannon of the Yong'an spaceship emitted a dazzling ray of light, shooting at the asteroid that was in front of the fleet.

Because the attack speed of the particle cannon is very fast, the attack of the particle cannon is completed in the blink of an eye, and because the speed of the particle beam is very fast, especially in the universe, its speed can be said to be almost the same as the speed of light, or even as fast as the speed of light. equal, so in more than three seconds, the particle beam emitted by the particle cannon hit the asteroid.

There is no earth-shattering sound, just a flash of red light, and the asteroid in front has disappeared from the radar. It can be said that this test of the particle cannon is very ideal, especially the attack power and attack speed of the particle cannon .

However, although Zhu Lei's particle beam weapon, the particle cannon, equipped on his Yong'an is very powerful, it also consumes a lot of energy. Just such an attack just now consumed enough energy for Zhu Lei's Yong'an The energy required to fly in space for a year.

Adding up all the energy reserves on the Yong'an, this ion cannon can only be fired a few hundred times. One can imagine how powerful it is.

Although this asteroid can be directly destroyed even with the electromagnetic railgun on the spacecraft, the electromagnetic railgun has now become standard equipment in the Ming Empire. The electromagnetic railgun, so this kind of weapon no longer needs to be tested, and all the attack data already has complete data in the database of the Ming Empire.

Particle beam weapons are different. Although there was a relatively complete theoretical support 20 years ago, and now the theoretical research has become more mature, but the actual combat has only been developed in the past few years, so for Various data of this type of weapon, especially the actual combat data of the Ming Empire, is very scarce, so it is very necessary to test this type of weapon, especially the powerful particle beam weapon equipped on the spaceship.

The particle beam weapon on Zhu Lei's spaceship, that is, the particle cannon, has a range of nearly one astronomical unit. Of course, it has no power at this distance.

In fact, the particle beam weapon above Yong'an, that is, the maximum attack range of the particle cannon is within 0.5 astronomical units. In terms of attack distance, the particle beam weapon is much worse than the electromagnetic railgun. After all, the electromagnetic railgun belongs to Purely physical attacks, since there is no air and gravity in space, so if there is no interference, the shells fired by the electromagnetic railgun will continue to fly at the same speed until they hit the object. Compared with beam weapons, the attack speed of electromagnetic railguns is really too slow.
