How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 461: Chapter 462 Anti-Matter Spear (Part 1)

[For gamma-ray cannons, it\'s very easy.]

Another design blueprint was thrown out. As it said, the structure was indeed very simple. The original internal nuclear radiation materials were eliminated, and a countermaterial container directly replaced the vacancy of these nuclear radiation substances.

The annihilation of positive and negative substances releases gamma rays, and there is no need for a particularly troublesome conversion process. As long as the hydrogen mass is sprayed inside the container containing the anti-hydrogen mass, a large number of gamma rays will naturally be released, which is at least hundreds or thousands of times higher than the energy level than the previous version of the previous version, whether it is range or power. The force is crushing for the old version.

However, there is also something wrong with this, 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 the replacement of artillery filling medicine with a nuclear bomb, because the power of the filling medicine has been greatly improved, and the speed and range of the gun have increased significantly, but this also means that the original barrel strength can no longer effectively restrain the loading drug explosion, and once used, it will cause a martyr explosion that will hurt the user.

The oolong thing of dying of their own gamma rays is obviously not what collectors want 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 propulsion, but the antimatter propulsion is a horn-shaped nozzle, and the gamma-ray gun is long barrel-shaped.

"However, pulse weapons have a range limit after all, which is only extended by the high energy of antimatter."

[What\'s the matter? Is the gamma-ray gun still defective?

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

Huo Gu explained his thoughts to Wei.

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

[Is it different? How is it different?

"For example, antimatter propulsion can sail at sublight speed, while the upper speed of radar waves is the speed of light, that is to say, the \'eyes\' and \'hands\' are almost as fast. If we face enemies who also have antimatter, the battles on both sides are likely to fight in a surprise instead of queuing up to shoot."

"So we should consider more other types of weapons, such as moving sublight cannons into the universe."

Huo Gu announced his idea to the life field channel, and other collectors digitized the idea after receiving it and transmitted it to the collectors of other planets through radio communication.

The genetic blueprint is two parts. The first one is the cannon. The barrel is a circle of low-temperature superconducting rings, which is used to generate a strong magnetic field. However, strangely, the barrel of this gun is not long and adds a gamma-ray protection layer.

The second is an anti-matter shell, which has equal antihydrogen and hydrogen mass inside the shell.

Together, these two are the carrier-based sublight-speed gun conceived by Huo Gu.

The cannon is an electromagnetic cannon. Although it can accelerate and restrain the shell, it is not enough to increase the speed of the shell to the sublight speed. This is just an ordinary electromagnetic gun.

The key lies in the shell. The electromagnetic cannon will provide the shell with the initial initial speed. When the shell moves forward, the inertial pressure will squeeze the positive and negative material into the small space behind for annihilation reaction, and the huge energy will raise the solid warhead to the sub-light speed before it leaves the electromagnetic gun barrel.

This is the purpose of the electromagnetic gun to defend against gamma rays.

Because the shell is a disposable thing, there is no need to consider the heat dissipation of the shell. A vacuum sandwich is left in the middle part of the shell. Vacuum is a good insulation layer, and the thermal energy of a huge amount of gamma rays will only be trapped in the second half of the shell. Only the second half will be melted into a plasma state.

The advantage of such a design is that it is highly applicable and the requirements for the external environment are not high. Even if the artillery is used, the same effect can be achieved. As long as the kinetic energy of the shell itself can be given to form enough inertial pressure, even if the shell is to be turned out by hand, it can reach the sub-light speed.

If it is traditional magnetic orbital acceleration, it is also possible, but it is more troublesome to use and the vulnerability is obvious. After all, to accelerate the shell, it is necessary to maintain a stable internal electric field. If it is damaged, it cannot be maintained. And due to the large volume, whether it is to check the damage or defense repair, it is necessary to spend more. Some time and energy also require a long-term high-intensity magnetic field and energy supply when accelerating, so it is not very suitable for the interstellar battlefield.

[This kind of design is very interesting. It\'s worthy of Huo Gu.]

"This is the most powerful means we have at present, but this is far from enough. We need to prevent it before it happens, so we need more attack methods that can be matched."

Except for sub-light cannons and gamma rays, Huo Gu is not ideal for large-scale interstellar combat.

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

Some collectors responded to Huo Gu\'s words and proposed a third destructive killer, which is far more terrifying than the first two weapons - the black hole bomb.

It is not difficult to make a black hole bomb. Antimatter and highly dense matter are needed to make an artificial black hole. The rest is to throw the black hole into the star before evaporating, and the supernova will explode.

It is not difficult to obtain high-density matter. As long as a shaft tens of thousands of kilometers deep is dug out on the planet and then filled with liquid water, the water pressure at the bottom of the shaft will naturally produce high-density matter.

Then take out the high-density material under the condition of ensuring high pressure, wrap it with a large amount of antimatter, and a bomb that can blow up a small-mass black hole is the finished product.

There is no need to add denosetritium that can trigger nuclear fusion, because their antimatter resources are large enough to allow them to use such a profligate antimatter design.

The power of this bomb lies in the black hole itself after the explosion, but in the supernova explosion, which is the most terrible cosmic disaster in the observable universe. It is useless to hide a few light years away, and the aftermath of the supernova explosion can still be affected.

Every supernova explosion in a river system can affect the whole river system. The first major extinction of life on earth was caused by a gamma-ray burst of a supernova explosion. Fortunately, the earth is far away, otherwise the earth\'s ecosystem may not still exist.

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

The black hole bomb is a great killer that is quite suitable for the battle of destruction. If you encounter a rather horrible and difficult opponent in the future, it is not a good choice to artificially trigger the supernova explosion of the stars in more than ten light years on the battlefield - Huo Gu evaluates the strategic value of this weapon in his heart.
