Chapter 572

Since it will take a long time for Zhang Weihua to come into contact with this space pirate fleet, after all, the fastest speed of neither this pirate nor Zhang Weihua's fleet has yet reached the speed of light, so Zhang Weihua still has enough time to prepare.

It should be said that the weapons of the Ming Empire are already very powerful. Although the most important attack method of the Ming Empire is still the electromagnetic railgun as in the early days, the electromagnetic railgun shells used now are no longer purely physical attacks. Because the shells of the electromagnetic railgun are not only engraved with various runes, but also have antimatter energy in the shells of the electromagnetic railgun, so the power of the electromagnetic railgun is definitely much stronger than before.

However, although the electromagnetic railgun attack is very powerful, compared with other advanced civilizations in the galaxy, the attack power of this type of weapon is not the most powerful. The top energy cannons of the fifth-level civilizations in the galaxy are more powerful than the electromagnetic guns of the Ming Empire. Railguns are definitely much more powerful, but the Ming Empire is not without such energy cannons. However, generally speaking, the warships of the Ming Empire will not be equipped with such top-level energy cannons, especially small and medium-sized spacecrafts.

After all, according to the law of energy conservation, the stronger the attack, the greater the energy required. Although this type of top-level energy cannon is very powerful in attack, the consumption of energy is beyond the capacity of ordinary spaceships. Unlike the electromagnetic railgun, all the energy is basically consumed to accelerate the shell.

Therefore, the electromagnetic railgun does not consume much energy for the spacecraft itself. In contrast, the Ming Empire prefers to use electromagnetic railguns. Except for the electromagnetic railgun, other weapons of the Ming Empire are no worse than the top energy guns of advanced civilizations in the Milky Way.

After all, the current weapons of the Ming Empire have begun to diversify. To say that the weapons with the highest attack power are the quantum foam bombs and space bombs of the Ming Empire. Weapons and so on are far superior to energy cannons of the same type in terms of attack power.

As the fleets of both sides continued to approach, Zhang Weihua could already clearly see the patterns on the spacecraft of these space pirates. These space pirates had a purple mandala flower engraved on the surface of the spaceship.

Seeing these mandala flower patterns, Zhang Weihua was full of doubts, because all the advanced civilizations in the universe knew what mandala flowers represented. Only one civilization in the universe would carve them on their spaceships. On the surface, that is the Mandala civilization.

The Mandala civilization is an authentic fifth-level civilization, not a space pirate. Although the reputation of the Mandala civilization is not very good, Zhang Weihua has never heard of a Mandala in the more than 200 years of space trade. There is news that the civilization has robbed any fifth-level civilization.

And this time, this Mandala dared to rob Zhang Weihua. You must know that Zhang Weihua is the universe trader of the Ming Empire. In the universe, the universe trader of the Ming Empire represents the face of the Ming Empire, and his being robbed represents the Mandala Luo Mi is slapping the Ming Empire in the face.

But since we have already encountered it, we must have a fight first. You must know that among the many fifth-level civilizations in the Milky Way, the Mandala civilization has not yet sent envoys to the Ming Empire to establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Empire.

In fact, the fleet of Mandala Civilization had already received information from Zhang Weihua and the others at this time, but the fleet of Mandala Civilization was not sure that the space trade fleet ahead was a space caravan of a fifth-level civilization. , and never heard of the Ming Empire.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the Mandala civilization. As a slave civilization, the Mandala civilization is the representative of slave owners in the galaxy. It has a very bad reputation in the galaxy. No civilization would interact with people from the Mandala civilization, and naturally no one told the Mandala civilization that a new fifth-level civilization, the Ming Empire, had appeared in the universe.

Therefore, the fleet of the Mandala civilization did not know that there was a fifth-level civilization in the universe, the Ming Empire. Naturally, they thought it was a caravan of other civilizations pretending to be a fifth-level civilization, which made them feel extremely angry, so Didn't even bother to return the message.

You must know that the fifth-level civilization in the galaxy is very famous. Basically, every fifth-level civilization knows the existence of other fifth-level or above civilizations, and pretending to be a fifth-level civilization is a very serious matter, so Mandala It was the civilization's fleet that mistakenly thought that the fleet of the Ming Empire was pretending to be a fifth-level civilization.

"Electromagnetic railgun preparation." When the distance between the two sides was still five light-years away, Zhang Weihua ordered his team to launch the electromagnetic railgun. After all, he was at a disadvantage compared with the opponent's fleet. The rate will not be very high, but it can fully reflect the long-range attack of the Ming Empire. After all, the electromagnetic railgun is not an energy cannon, it is a physical attack, and the power of this type of weapon can be well exerted in the space without resistance .

What's more, as long as one shot hits the opponent, the pressure will be less when it comes to close combat.

However, at this moment, the Mandala Civilization Fleet, whose speed has reached 90% of the speed of light, once again speeded up and rushed towards Zhang Weihua and the others. At this time, their speed had reached an astonishing 93% of the speed of light. Spaceships can only reach 90% of the speed of light at the fastest speed in conventional navigation, which is already the limit that most fifth-level civilizations can achieve.

After all, once the speed reaches more than 90% of the speed of light, every time the speed increases, the energy consumed will increase geometrically. Therefore, even the Ming Empire will not invest too much in this aspect of the general fifth-level civilization. After all, at the fifth-level The civilization stage is impossible to exceed the speed of light no matter what, even the higher civilization level [-] and [-] civilizations cannot solve this problem.

However, the warp speed engines used by many fifth- and sixth-level civilizations in the Milky Way still pass through wormholes. Everything is achieved by distorting space and shortening the distance above the space to achieve beyond the speed of light.

It is precisely because it is very difficult to accelerate to more than 90% of the speed of light, so Zhang Weihua and the others are so surprised that the spaceship of the Datura civilization can exceed 90% of the speed of light, and even reach 93% of the speed of light.

Zhang Weihua and the others did not increase their speed. At this time, their speed was only about 80% of the speed of light. The armed merchant ships in his fleet could not reach the speed of 90% of the speed of light. After all, these armed merchant ships were refitted from civilian merchant ships. 80 % The speed of light is already the limit of these armed merchant ships, and it cannot be compared with real military spaceships.
