Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

The [Battering Ram] is not used to attack those scattered magnetic field shields.

From the beginning of its design, it has been positioned as a strategic weapon that can win or lose with one strike.

Therefore, facing the coming attack, Lu Yongchang directly issued the order without any hesitation.

"[Golden Crow] activates the plasma shield."

As the words fell, the light of the Hall thruster at the rear of the [Golden Crow] battleship dimmed instantly.

A large amount of energy is quickly transferred to the magnetic field generating unit.

At the same time, its rear hatch quickly opened, and blue high-temperature plasma spurted out from it. Under the influence of the magnetic field, this plasma enveloped the entire [Golden Crow] battleship like a layer of eggshells. got up.

This is the strongest defensive state of the [Golden Crow] battleship.

Before the appearance of the [Battering Ram], even the human fleet itself would have to spend a lot of effort to break this "turtle shell."

"Professor, the [battering ram] is ready and ready to attack at any time."

Zero's reminder sounded in the office.

"Start attacking!"

Lu Yongchang said in a deep voice.

…

As Lu Yongchang's order was issued, a dazzling light lit up in the dark and deep universe.

Inside the [Battering Ram], a large number of nuclear fusion reactors that are enough to drive three [Golden Crow] battleships are at full power at this moment!

All the energy generated rushes toward the front muzzle of the [Battering Ram]!

A faint blue light began to appear at the muzzle.

The next moment!

Before anyone could react, endless plasma spurted out from the muzzle!

Under the strong magnetic field channel constructed by the drone, these plasmas continue to accelerate! accelerate! accelerate! !

A hundred kilometers of accelerating tubes allow these high-temperature plasmas to reach an incredible speed!

Like a flash of blue lightning, this blue plasma column with a diameter of one hundred meters spurted out from the mouth of the invisible barrel constructed by the magnetic field.

At the same time, the light of the Hall propulsion device at the tail of the [Battering Ram] gradually went out.

The part of the hull near the muzzle has even been slightly deformed!

Part of the remaining blue plasma, carrying a golden electric glow, slowly seeped out from the surface of the ship's hull, destroying the already weak ship's hull.

It was scrapped.

Under such overloaded operation, it can only send out this only one bombardment in its life!

But no one cares about this.

Everyone's attention is on the "swan song" it emits!

In an instant, a faint blue "lightning" struck the light blue plasma shield near the [Golden Crow] battleship!

At first, due to the impact of a large amount of external plasma, the color of the plasma shield suddenly became a lot darker.

From the original light blue, it turned into an overloaded dark blue.

Of course, this is only a matter of a moment.

In the next moment, the overloaded magnetic field shield generating units chose to strike collectively - they were overloaded.

The plasma that initially circled around the [Golden Crow] lost the restraint of the magnetic field and was thrown out in a tangential direction in all directions.

Against the background of the deep, dark universe, these plasmas form an extremely brilliant picture.

At this time, the [Golden Crow] battleship is like a "hedgehog" with explosive hair.

However, unlike normal hedgehogs, the spikes on the body of this large "hedgehog" are filled with extremely powerful plasma.

This is far from over.

There is even more than half of the powerful plasma column from the [Battering Ram] left!

After the magnetic field shield generation unit went off, the remaining plasma columns rushed straight towards the [Golden Crow] battleship!

Without a magnetic field shield, [Golden Crow] could only pin its hopes on its thick armor.

Obviously.

For a plasma column with a diameter of 100 meters, this thick armor is no different from paper.

The blue plasma column barely stagnates and sinks directly into the head of the [Golden Crow] battleship!

After a short wait, a small amount of plasma spurted out from the tail of [Golden Crow].

Penetrating injury!

A powerful explosion of fire appeared in the dim universe.

Instant kill! !

Although the [Battering Ram] only launched one attack, the power of this attack deeply shocked the hearts of everyone in the laboratory.

…

"hiss……"

Tao Yuda, who was standing next to Lu Yongchang, took a deep breath.

"How's it going? Isn't it pretty powerful?" Lu Yongchang turned his head and said with a smile.

"Yes, it's pretty good." Tao Yuda responded with a somewhat difficult tone and nodded.

"It's a pity that it can only attack once." Speaking of this, Tao Yuda glanced at the [Battering Ram] that had turned into a large piece of scrap metal with some regret. "If we can have more powerful materials, maybe we can …”

"No need."

Lu Yongchang said softly.

"What?" Tao Yuda was stunned, unable to react for a while.

"During the construction process of the battering ram, I specially reduced its armor thickness and hull strength." Lu Yongchang shrugged and said nonchalantly, "In the design, it is a disposable weapon."

"That's not going to change even with stronger, stronger materials."

"Why, why?" Tao Yuda couldn't accept this statement.

At the beginning, he thought all this was in pursuit of higher attack power.

But Lu Yongchang's statement completely rejected his speculation.

"Why?" Lv Yongchang chuckled, "Do you think, in a real interstellar war, the other side will let this thing fire a second shot?"

"Even with the protection of the drone group, the energy storage time of several seconds is enough for the [Golden Crow] battleship to tear it into pieces."

Tao Yuda's face was full of astonishment.

It seems... quite reasonable?

He looked at the wreckage in the holographic projection thoughtfully, as if he had gained some inspiration from such weapon design.

"Professor."

"Do you know ball lightning?"

Tao Yuda muttered to himself with some excitement in his eyes.

"Huh?" Lv Yongchang was stunned, "Ball lightning? That strange physical phenomenon in the Earth era?"

A little long-lost memory emerged in his mind.

It was a thunderstorm.

An orange-red "fireball" was flying against the wind in the air.

It drew a strange and graceful curve and drilled into the room of the institute through the window gap.

"Boom!"

After a loud bang.

The "fireball" exploded.

That accident caused the institute to suffer a lot of losses.

"Of course I know." Lv Yongchang said with some nostalgia, "I remember that many people were studying this magical natural phenomenon at that time."

"Now it seems that it is a bit similar to our plasma weapons."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Tao Yuda nodded repeatedly, "Just like a plasma group wrapped in a strong magnetic field!"

"Since we can use the [Battering Ram] as a disposable weapon, why can't we use the drone it carries as a disposable weapon?"

"No, not just the [Battering Ram], it can also be used on every warship."

Lv Yongchang's expression moved slightly.

He seemed to understand the meaning of Tao Yuda's words.

"You mean, design the drone as a disposable... plasma shell?"

"No, not a shell." Tao Yuda's expression became more and more excited, "To be precise, it should be a missile."

"Under Zero's control, these drones wrapped in plasma can fully achieve full-range guidance and carry out precise strikes on targets!"
