Chapter 280 Land-Based Laser Cannon
This high-energy laser is just the beginning of the counterattack of Proxima Centauri.
No response time was given to humans.
Four beams of light lit up near the equator of Proxima Centauri!
The laser beam flashes one after another.
Every flash means that a [Golden Crow] battleship crashes.
In just a few seconds, 20 [Golden Crow] battleships turned into 20 brilliant flames in the deep universe.
...
[Earth].
Lu Yongchang's face was extremely different!
Hell...
He guessed that Proxima Cialis had a trump card!
Thinking of the sacrificed crew members, he closed his eyes in pain and took a deep breath.
As the commander of the fleet, this is a psychological test that he must withstand.
‘Clean the battlefield and suspend the attack against Proxima B.’
‘All [Golden Crown] battleships are on standby at 40,000 kilometers away from Proxima B!’
Lu Yongchang directly issued an order to suspend the attack.
As for Zhao Zijie in another deep-sea cabin, his face turned pale at this time.
While watching silence for the sacrificed crew, he also felt a chill coming from behind.
It is hard to imagine what would happen if Professor Lu accepted his proposal just now!
...
Lu Yongchang played back the scenes that happened on the battlefield just now over and over again.
Is this really a laser weapon?
How could it be so powerful?!
Even he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart!
‘Zero, can I analyze what data?’
A row of complex data appears in the holographic projection.
[Professor, according to estimates, if you want to cause such a huge blow to the Golden Crow battleship, the power of this laser weapon is at least ten times that of ours.]
【Considering that it is emitted from the planet’s atmosphere, its actual power is probably even more exaggerated than we imagined.】
Zero responded meticulously to Lu Yongchang's inquiry.
incredible……
Lu Yongchang sighed silently in his heart.
Laser weapons have been studied a lot by humans.
For the current human fleet, the main factor affecting the power of laser weapons is actually the issue of heat dissipation.
With the increase in the power of laser weapons, the problem of heat dissipation has become an insurmountable problem.
Especially in space.
After a brief surprise, Lu Yongchang also deduced the reason why this laser weapon is powerful.
After the main star Proxima Centauri was hit, internal energy was constantly stolen, and the heat emitted on its surface also decreased.
The surface temperature of Proxima Centauri b is also beginning to drop.
The dense atmosphere at a temperature of several tens of degrees Celsius below zero is simply a perfect heat dissipation medium.
Land-based laser weapons set up on the surface have an advantage that is incomparable to ship-based laser weapons and orbital laser weapons - there is no need to worry about energy supply.
By chance, Proxima Centar civilization actually mastered a powerful weapon that could threaten human flagships in a short period of time!
...
Proxima Centauri, Central Academy of Sciences.
Looking at the solar system fleet that stopped the offensive, Augustus' expression gradually became proud.
"Now, my plan is completely completed!"
While speaking, he opened his breathing hole and squirted out a breath of heat to express his excitement and joy.
Nartes's face was full of doubts.
But he could not violate the words of Chief Lyle, so he had to ask softly in a respectful tone: "My Excellency Augustus, what you mean by…"
Augustus glanced at Nartes.
Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Augustus did not blame him, but explained patiently.
"12 land-based laser cannons, coupled with the ring planetary defense network, the solar system fleet will never dare to rashly enter our range."
"Next, this war will be delayed indefinitely."
"The longer time goes on, the greater our advantage."
"After all, they are just wandering civilizations. The day when their materials are exhausted is the time when we pick the fruits of victory!"
"At that time, I will initiate a negotiation invitation to them and let them provide us with sufficient number of starships for escape!"
"I believe they won't reject this win-win outcome."
...
A week later.
"How is the test result?"
[Earth] In the command center, Lu Yongchang asked with a serious expression.
In order to test the power of the land-based laser weapon of Proxima Centauri civilization, Lu Yongchang ordered some of the [Taotie] starships that consumed their material reserves were sent out as bait.
Of course, in order to confuse the enemy, they "beautify" [Taotie] a little.
At least, in appearance, it should be similar to the [Golden Crow] battleship.
Zero also plays its unique role.
In just a few days, it successfully transformed more than ten [Taotie] starships.
Proxima Centauri civilization never thought that in the empty universe more than 100,000 kilometers away from its planet, a simple starship transformation factory appeared out of thin air in just a few days!
"Professor." Zero's voice sounded, "According to the test results, Proxima Centauri civilization has a total of 12 land-based laser cannons, all located near Proxima Centauri B equator."
"The effective range and power test of laser cannons also have results."
A series of dense data appeared in the holographic projection directly in front of the command center.
After Lu Yongchang thought about it in his mind, he frowned slightly.
"The power of this laser weapon... At present, only our flagship can resist briefly."
"Yes." Zero affirmed Lu Yongchang's mental arithmetic results. "According to simulation tests, non-critical parts, [Earth] can withstand three attacks, and we can only withstand two attacks in key parts."
Lu Yongchang slowly shook his head.
“Too few.”
"In this case, we can't get close to Proxima Centauri before we get rid of these 12 land-based laser cannons."
Zhao Zijie's voice rang aside.
"Where is the nuclear torpedo?"
"Although it is in the planet's atmosphere, the power of nuclear torpedoes should be enough to solve these 12 land-based laser cannons."
Lu Yongchang thought for a moment, then shook his head and rejected Zhao Zijie's proposal.
"Did you forget the ring planet defense network opposite?"
"Unlike the last time, the weapons we sent need to break through the interception of the Ring Planet Defense Network first."
"Just like at the beginning, how about bombarding with electromagnetic cannons?" Fang Xu proposed the solution.
Lu Yongchang didn't say anything, but just thrust his mouth towards the holographic projection directly in front of him.
The remaining amount of various materials is displayed.
When he saw that there were less than 10% of the projectiles wrapped in the micro nuclear bomb, Fang Xu couldn't help but exclaim: "How come there are so few?"
Lu Yongchang shrugged: "Unlike guerrilla warfare, the ammunition consumption on the front battlefield is extremely large."
"At that time, in order to suppress the more than 5,000 starships on the opposite side, everyone wanted to grow a few more gun barrels on the starship!"
Hearing this, Fang Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Looking back, this was indeed the case.
In the fierce battlefield, everyone was on the verge of attention.
"What about the remaining amount of ordinary projectiles?"
"Not less than 60%." Lu Yongchang sighed.
"Not to mention how many shells can successfully enter the atmosphere, even if they enter the atmosphere, they may not necessarily cause a huge blow to land-based laser cannons."
