Voyage of the Stars

All superluminal weapons are based on warp speed, which is the standard of the military force of a fourth-level civilization.

Of course, there is more than warp speed, there is also full optical stealth technology, but this thing is useless if the opponent is also a fourth-level civilization.

Antimatter missiles and antimatter bombs are different, the difference lies in guidance. The device structure of the two is similar. Both use matter to form a large unified force field device to store antimatter and then rely on the powerful energy generated by the annihilation of positive and antimatter to destroy the target when striking. The difference is that the former has an additional guidance device, which can continuously send and receive tachyons to the target during the warp process, thereby feedback the real-time position of the target, and then adjust the course through its own warp engine, and keep heading for the target.

However, this type of weapon is not the most difficult to dodge, because they are easily discovered because of the real-time transmission of tachyon detection. Warships can adjust the parameters of the force field shield according to its course and guide it to other places.

Or you can use an interception-type warp missile system to intercept, but this method requires a powerful computer system and a powerful strong artificial intelligence.

In fact, these types of weapons are similar to those in the era of hot weapons and gunpowder, but the speed and energy level have been raised. Of course, there are also differences, such as the various effects outside the light cone brought by superluminal speed.

Many of those effects are counterintuitive, and it is definitely too late to think about them when they are encountered, so intelligent life needs to preset various possibilities in advance.

In the war between level 4 civilizations, sub-light speed weapons will actually be used, but they will also be labeled as antimatter, such as antiparticle energy cannons and particle energy cannons.

Typical weapons are neutron killing and neutron explosion. The former is a normal neutron beam sweep, and the latter is an anti-neutron beam sweep.

These two weapons seem to have very domineering names, but they are generally not used for offense. They are more used in close defense.

Because they are ultimately just sub-light speed weapons at the speed of light. They are used to bully civilizations below level 4 to kill a lot, but they are not enough to attack superluminal civilizations.

It is just right to use it for close defense sweep defense after the force field shield is broken. The two types can just deal with the star destroyer shells of their opposite material types.

The speed of light is still very fast in the range of the force field shield, and it can be said that it will arrive as soon as it is fired.

But now, facing the attacks of various weapons in the sky, human warships do not even open the force field shield, no... all shields including force field shield, polarization shield, magnetic field shield are not opened, because humans think that opening the shield will disperse energy utilization, and the energy used to support the shield is better used to concentrate the energy supply to the warp engine, as well as various parts and calculation inputs related to the maneuverability of warships.

This will make the warship more sensitive.

What humans need most now is the sensitive maneuverability of warships, because the third-person perspective of the warship mode is too powerful.

In the subconscious perspective of the drivers, they can easily perceive various changes and events on the battlefield.

From the course of the enemy warship, the turning angle, the overall movement of the large fleet, to every shell, whether it is an extreme warp gravity bomb, a warp missile with a guided function, or a star destroyer that reaches the limit of both conventional speed and warp speed, they cannot escape the subconscious third-person perspective of humans.

Humans do not fully understand this perspective at present. It is obvious to human drivers that the perspective they see is shared with others, and other drivers also share their perspectives, but they do not know how this equipment does it. To understand it, it is estimated that the technology in the field of spiritual consciousness needs to reach a certain level.

Speaking of which, as for Yue Yuan now, in the third-person perspective, he can see everything, even the trajectory of each shell, and even the position of the Tianqin detected by the tachyon detector, he can see it from his subconscious mind.

Even if he focuses on the tachyon detector, he can "see" the moment when the tachyon appears almost instantly. He has a feeling that if the Tianqin is strong enough, it may even be able to avoid this instantaneous tachyon detection. Of course, it requires focusing on the tachyon detection device and concentrating energy so that you can detect the moment when the tachyon is about to appear.

This kind of subtle observation is an application of the third-person perspective. Everyone noticed it when they were training the drivers, but this way of observation is obviously more energy-consuming.

The power of the warship in the third-person perspective gave humans full confidence. As for the current Tianqin, Yue Yuan and other pilots could clearly see every trajectory on the scene.

What the tachyon detection could detect could be seen, Yue Yuan and the pilots could see, and what the tachyon detection could not detect could also be seen.

Therefore, under the main control of Yue Yuan, the Tianqin directly avoided possible attacks in advance, and under the push of the warp engine, it made many turns and dodged all attacks.

The same was true for other human warships. The 2,996 warships completely maxed out their dodge skills and easily avoided all the gunfire.

While dodging the attack, all human warships, led by the Tianqin, could also fight back, and it was not the kind of fight that took all their efforts to free up their hands. Moreover, when dodging, they knew where their warships moved from to dodge, and then what posture they shot in, and which predicted position they hit...

Dodge, fight back, and then turn to a safe position, everything was smooth.

What surprised the Orange Star Civilization was that the warp gravity bombs fired by humans seemed to be thrown randomly, but they appeared in the path of the Orange Star Civilization warships just seven or eight seconds later, as if the warships were directly hit by the bombs, and the same was true for the antimatter bombs that followed.

In an instant, more than 2,000 Orange Star Civilization warships that entered close combat were destroyed by humans at a glance.

The attacks of the human fleet were so efficient that almost every attack was effective. Although they were not always successful, after all, the Orange Star Civilization could still detect some warp gravity bombs, but after a batch of attacks, there would always be several or dozens of gravity bombs that were just not detected by them.

Then the warships whose force field shields were torn apart by many gravity bombs were blown up by the antimatter bombs that followed.

The star destroyer gun of the Lyra was also exerting its power. Its conventional near-light speed plus 38 times the warp speed antimatter shells could even hit the target every time.

On one hand, they couldn't hit the target, and on the other hand, nearly 3,000 of their warships were destroyed in one encounter. The Orange Star Civilization finally felt something was wrong.

This human civilization... didn't seem to be running away?

However, after a few dozen minutes, the reaction of the Orange Star Civilization changed from confusion to disbelief.
