Chapter 1226: Precision Field Weapons

“We still can’t let our guard down too much.”

“After all, many Civilizations once existed here, and there are too many Civilization ruins.”

“Even if they themselves couldn't develop truly powerful technology, it doesn't mean that such technology wasn't left behind here.”

On the other side, an advisor felt that they still needed to be cautious.

Filo Dime had, of course, already considered these things.

“That’s why we need to make a quick decision and not give them that chance.”

“It just so happens that Tian Gong Group is funding us for this attack, allowing us to complete the experiment. Let’s use that.”

Tian Gong Group, full name Tian Gong Military Manufacturing Group.

This is an enterprise with a military background; its executives are retired soldiers, and its funds come from the Federal Government.

Tian Gong Group is not old; on the contrary, it is a new emerging enterprise established only in the last 2000 years.

It mainly focuses on manufacturing and researching new weapons.

These new weapons will then be installed on new types of warship.

However, weapons need war to test their stability. This is not for internal qualification, but to ensure all officers can use them with peace of mind.

It is said that Tian Gong Group will focus on the civilian market in the future.

That makes sense.

Now, the era of total war has begun.

Civilians can own warship.

Naturally, there are warship-level weapons corresponding to warship.

“Tian Gong, I don’t know what the higher-ups are thinking, why would they let ordinary people possess such high-energy weapons.”

“Won’t doing this plunge the entire Federation into chaos?”

Peixin had been outside.

The atmosphere of the all-out war era at Black Hole One was not strong, which meant he hadn't truly understood the current changes in the Federation.

“You’re overthinking it.”

“Can the warship manufactured by civilians truly compare to the military’s brand-new series of warship?”

“Having absorbed the technology of multiple Civilizations, Human Civilization is progressing rapidly and will soon overturn the old technology that used to take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to advance a generation.”

“Most of what Tian Gong supplies to the civilian sector are just conventional weapons; unconventional weapons remain the exclusive patent of the military.”

As a Ship Supervisor, Filo Dime, of course, understood many things.

In fact, these matters were supposed to be directly handled by him, but he had been on his way to Black Hole One for all these years. However, he could still learn about these matters through his connections and authorization.

And the Tian Gong weapon they were using this time belonged to the unconventional weapons supplied exclusively to the military.

“Ship Supervisor, the enemy seems to be spreading out now, they’re too dispersed, it’s a bit difficult to handle!”

Peixin saw that many Claw Star Cluster warship had begun to deviate from their usual routes.

The overall warship were expanding outwards in a spherical shape, moving away.

At the same time, they were continuously launching harassing attacks.

But Filo Dime seemed to be waiting for something.

“No rush.”

“The committee member has been away from the Federal center for a long time and doesn’t know much about Tian Gong Group’s Tian Gong plan.”

“As long as these warship are within 2000 astronomical unit, not a single one of them will escape.”

2000 astronomical unit.

This was already the limit of conventional weapon accuracy.

The Federation’s current warship could achieve over 90% accuracy within 300 astronomical unit.

200 astronomical unit was practically 100% accurate.

At 500 astronomical unit, they could still achieve over 40% accuracy.

As for 2000 astronomical unit, it was about 2%.

This was already very strong; at least, it wasn't impossible to hit.

However, this calculation method was usually used for comparison and experimentation with warship of the same generation.

In other words, when the Federation’s new warship attacked the Federation’s new warship, the accuracy at 2000 astronomical unit was 2%.

If it were Claw Star Cluster’s warship, it would certainly be more than that.

The lower the enemy’s computing power, the more precisely the high-computing power Federal warship Host could calculate their movement direction and patterns, and then target them.

Peixin felt that the accuracy against Claw Star Cluster warship at 2000 astronomical unit should be above 5%.

But from what Filo Dime said, he intended to annihilate them all!

Most of the warship had already retreated to three or four hundred astronomical unit away, where the accuracy seemed much higher.

But it was still that Civilization.

There were too many enemies.

Although they had already lost over thirty million warship.

The Claw Star Cluster Civilization combined fleet numbered over a hundred million.

It was difficult to annihilate them.

Seemingly seeing through Peixin’s confusion, Filo Dime smiled and said, “The new type of weapon developed by Tian Gong Group is not the weapon we traditionally imagine.”

“The Federation has invested heavily in this.”

“It is said that the total number of scholar and engineers involved in just developing this set of equipment exceeded 4 million, and the capital expenditure reached 300 quadrillion energy coin.”

Peixin’s eyes widened.

He had previously been involved in warship research and development.

The R&D cost of a single warship was approximately 100 quadrillion to 150 quadrillion energy coin.

And the onboard weapons, in fact, were mostly less than that.

They were generally a few quadrillion energy coin.

But this was a thousandfold investment.

Peixin could not recall any weapon of such a scale of research and development.

Even the R&D costs for many super-range weapon were only a few quadrillion, it was just that the manufacturing costs were relatively high.

The overall technological content of super-range weapon is high, but it has not reached the top level of the Federation.

After all, their size is too large, and the precision requirements are not as high, so the research and development time is naturally greatly shortened.

And developing this kind of thing is essentially an investment in manpower, Simulated Universe, and virtual worlds, all calculated by time. The shorter the time, the less the investment naturally.

Seeing Peixin’s surprise, Filo Dime didn’t keep him in suspense.

“This completely new weapon is called a field weapon, also known as a precise field weapon.”

“A field can be many things.”

“And the field here actually includes these things: first, the Quantum Field.”

“The Quantum Field covers a wide range, including electromagnetic fields, gluon fields, and various gauge fields, scalar fields, gravitational fields, as well as matter fields, such as lepton fields, electron fields, quark fields, and special fields, such as the Higgs field.”

“Second, it is the field in space, which is space itself.”

“A radius of 2000 astronomical unit, this is the maximum spatial field limit that this weapon can affect.”

“Precise field weapons are still different from field weapons.”

“Field weapons are system-annihilation level weapons. I believe my previous description has probably made it clear what this thing is for, right?”

“Within 2000 astronomical unit, all matter that causes field fluctuations will be attacked.”

“And a precise field weapon is to select a certain field for attack, such as selecting a single field like an electromagnetic field, or it can be a composite field, such as a quark field plus a gluon field, or even more combinations.”

“You can even set the intensity.”

“For example, only gravity field changes of ten thousand tons will be attacked.”

“This is a precise field weapon, the Federation’s newest large-scale weapon. As for field weapons, they are still under development. The latest can only affect a few million kilometers, only enough to destroy a planet or a Star.”

Peixin was stunned for a few seconds.

He sighed, “Technology truly changes with each passing day!”

Filo Dime added:

“It is the Federation’s technology that is changing with each passing day!”

Peixin asked, “Such a weapon requires a lot of energy, and its size should also be very large, but I don’t seem to see it mounted.”

In fact, unconventional weapons are generally very large in size.

But that does not mean simple structure and poor integration.

In fact, while unconventional weapons are dozens of times larger than conventional weapons of the same power, their unit integration is also several times that of conventional weapons.

This also leads to the price of unconventional weapons generally being hundreds of times that of conventional weapons of the same power.

Many unconventional weapons mounted on warship are even more expensive than the warship themselves.

“This is the convenience brought by new technology.”

“According to conventional standards, such a powerful weapon might be much larger than a warship.”

“However, the precise field weapon is modular. The mother unit is carried on a Dwarf Planet-class Battleship, and the sub-units are carried on ordinary unit warship and flagships.”

“Although the time control requirements are a bit higher, these Hosts can handle it, so it’s not a big problem.”

“This distributed approach ensures power. In fact, even a Dwarf Planet-class Battleship cannot satisfy this behemoth; only a planet level warship can carry it alone.”

“One set consists of 1 mother unit and 100,000 sub-units.”

“The only drawback at this stage is that the startup speed is too slow. We have been here for two or three days already, and it’s still not ready.”

“We still need to wait.”

Peixin glanced at the time.

Indeed, 67 hours had passed since they exited the evasion state.

In the universe, time is very easy to overlook.

Because weapon attack charging often takes tens of minutes or several hours, a casual tactical move by both sides takes one or two days, and when engaging in combat, detecting enemy information often takes even longer, usually twenty or thirty days.

For example, this war, which seems short, has actually been going on for more than two months.

If their warship hadn't already been able to reach sub-light speed and had high maneuverability, the duration of such an attack might have been extended to three or four months.

But this is cosmic warfare; they had long since grown accustomed to it.
