Chapter 189: You Don’t Have That Ability
Fan Ren’s expression became grave, and on the other side, Liu Shengzhan, who heard Li Jian’s words, also looked toward him, with worry in his eyes.
Missile weapons are of course an excellent weapon for dealing with large, slow-moving targets.
Even as long as the yield is sufficient, the Conqueror would have to take a hard hit.
But this is only effective in special circumstances when the opponent’s ship cannot evade.
For example, in the previous exercise, the Young Dragon B model forced the entire fleet to slow down to deal with the shockwave in this way.
If it were a large ship, it wouldn’t have time to slow down and would have a high chance of plunging straight into the explosion center area.
Fan Ren thought about it. Originally, he planned to wait until there were results in the future before mentioning that idea, but now seeing that even Commander Liu was worried about it, he immediately stopped concealing it.
“It’s like this. Currently, we have a team already conducting reverse engineering research on the super railgun on the Conqueror. Of course, for the foreseeable future, we won’t be able to produce a railgun of that scale and intensity.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t produce a small one with a high-speed, sensitive angular velocity barrel.
In fact, in the Blue Star Era, on warships, we already had large maritime vessels using this experimental weapon.
However, due to Blue Star’s extremely thick atmosphere and Blue Star’s gravity, this weapon was inherently disabled in the atmosphere and planetary era.
But now it’s different. We are in the Space Age.
In the future, vacuum, no gravity, super high speed will be the eternal battlefield environment.
So I sent all the scientists from Great Xia in the fields of electromagnetic cannons and electromagnetic rails to the Conqueror to begin reverse engineering research on the railgun turrets there, in an attempt to use this technology on our large warships in the future.
According to our calculations, the ammunition fired by the railgun on the Conqueror reaches super high speed at 20% of the speed of light upon leaving the barrel. In short-range engagements, relying on A’dai’s computing power, I think we have a great chance.”
For the first time, Fan Ren voiced his idea for dealing with that alien civilization’s high-speed small spaceship in the future. As his words fell, not only Liu Shengzhan but also Li Jian 500 million kilometers away couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
They had witnessed the power of the Conqueror’s ship cannon. Currently, no defensive structures made of any materials on Blue Star could resist its attack.
Its power was terrifying.
They hadn’t even tested that so-called doomsday weapon, mainly because this weapon would cause enormous spatial fluctuations. One occurrence might be seen by extraterrestrial civilizations as an accident or coincidence.
If there was another, it would definitely attract focused attention from alien civilizations.
Even so, just the ship cannon alone was enough to make them drool.
“Second Brother, can it really work?”
After a long time, Li Jian snapped out of the vision of the large warships that might be built in the future as described by Fan Ren and murmured a question.
Liu Shengzhan also looked at him, his eyes burning with eagerness.
“Don’t worry. Leaving aside the Conqueror’s technology, we already have the initial version of the electromagnetic cannon. There’s just a clear theoretical difference between it and that one. Our scientists are researching it now, and as soon as results come out in the future, they will be applied immediately to the large ships we are preparing. At that time, it will still rely on the Space Force to conduct live-fire exercises for data collection.”
Fan Ren rarely revealed the detailed future development plan to others, mainly because he was worried that military headquarters personnel, upon comparison, might feel enormous pressure from that alien spaceship that could accelerate to 10% of the speed of light in a short time.
To stabilize people’s hearts, he had no choice but to temporarily reveal the future weapon still in the reverse engineering theoretical research stage.
Crisis year 36.
Xinghai global official universal channel.
The screen always displays a countdown.
As if out of malicious humor, using this method to intensify the increasingly chaotic global situation.
Today, Australia officially declared national bankruptcy. Large numbers of mineral workers joined the chaotic protesting crowd, frantically throwing Molotov cocktails at the luxuriously decorated building inside the General Office.
This General Office building, which had served multiple presidents over many years, also turned to ashes amid this situation.
In the distance, on a military aircraft, Mo Han’s face was grim as he looked down at the capital city billowing with thick smoke like the apocalypse, then closed his eyes and waved to his deputy to leave here quickly.
Unwilling?
Perhaps.
But he should have a very comfortable retirement life. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Mo Han’s lips.
“President!”
The deputy’s voice interrupted his budding fantasy of a beautiful future retirement life, and Mo Han frowned, his face turning back to its previous grimness.
“I am not the president now!”
The deputy immediately realized his slip and said awkwardly, “Mr. Mo.”
Hearing this address, Mo Han’s expression finally cleared.
“It’s like this. The United States notified us that our private jet must stop at customs for inspection before entering the country.”
This was obviously not good news. Mo Han’s expression changed in various ways over these few minutes. With the deputy’s words, he was first slightly surprised, then became grave.
In that era of outdoing each other in corruption, after Mark was elected, he publicly vigorously developed the aerospace industry, but ultimately all resources favored Spitz Company.
He made a fortune, which was no secret among the upper echelons of the White Alliance. Although the White Alliance had practically fallen apart now, it didn’t affect the exchange of some information.
However, at this moment, this sudden news couldn’t help but give Mo Han a bad premonition.
On the military aircraft, sweat began to bead on Mo Han’s forehead.
After a long time, he gravely took out his telephone, took a deep breath, and dialed Mark’s private telephone.
“Hello, President Mark.”
This time, his attitude was very respectful. After all, his current identity was no longer president of Australia, and he had stepped down in a disgraced manner.
But no matter. His airplane and the submarine on the seabed both carried sufficient gold.
Thinking of this, Mo Han felt slightly relieved. It was just a matter of cutting flesh; he had plenty of money!
“Mo Han, if I asked you now to go back and stabilize Australia’s situation… forget it, you don’t have that ability anyway.”
Mark’s short sentence on the other end made Mo Han’s hair stand on end. What did this sudden remark mean?
He had converted all his assets to gold, so why at this critical moment would he suggest he go back to stabilize the situation?
But Mark was right about one thing: he really didn’t have that ability now.
Australia’s rotten situation left him utterly powerless.
“President Mark, what do you mean?”
The phone fell into silence. Mark seemed to be thinking about something, but Mo Han on this side couldn’t wait. He urgently needed to know exactly what had happened.
