Super Micro Nanobots
Land-Based Turret can be built to a great size, which allows interplanetary missiles based on Magnetic Propulsion Technology to be deployed on Planet Defense.
As the human fleet launched its Orbital Bombardment of the Twelfth Planet, these High Mountain- like defensive turrets began to roar. Countless turrets, propelled by the powerful electromagnetic force, easily defied the planet's gravity and hurtled towards the human fleet in orbit.
They are all equipped with guidance signals to identify metal targets. After reaching space, they change direction using the propellant inside the projectile, thus achieving the purpose of accurately striking the target. They can be understood as a kind of Electromagnetic Railgun with guidance function.
Simultaneously with the orbital cannons, unseen beams of light also struck the human fleet. Yes, unseen. Because Twelfth Planet is a typical barren planet with no atmosphere, the use of Laser Weapon was no different from that in space.
They are faster and more accurate than Land-Based Electromagnetic Railgun. Because they are beams of light, they are undetectable by human detection systems. The distance from the planet's surface to its orbit is also very short, so much so that human warships in orbit don't realize the enemy has opened fire until they see their Polarization Shield light up.
Perhaps the Interstellar Transaction Market is aware of the existence of the Magnetic Shield, so there are very few Positron Cannon in terms of defensive capabilities.
The Positron Cannon, a powerful weapon of Tier 1 Civilization, seems to have gradually faded from the battlefield due to the emergence of Magnetic Shield, while laser Energy Weapon have been vigorously developed instead.
This is easy to understand. After all, if the amount of laser Energy Weapon is large enough, it can still overload and collapse the Polarization Shield. But the Magnetic Shield is different. It exists entirely based on the Lorentz Force effect. It is just turned on. Whenever a charged particle enters the magnetic field, it will be deflected in other directions. And the speed of the charged particles is about the same, so it is not a power issue at all.
Especially after reaching Level 3 Civilization, with the further advancement of magnetic field technology due to True Nano Technology, the threat of anti-charged particle weapons such as positrons has been reduced to a level that is almost negligible.
Therefore, the main defensive forces of this Twelfth Planet are still the Land-Based Super Large Electromagnetic Railgun and the Land-Based Super Large Laser Energy Cannon.
When the first wave of resistance arrived, one could see screens of Light Screen illuminating the orbit of the Twelfth Planet. Humanity's massive warships, facing laser Energy Weapon at such close range, were only slightly better off than a moving tortoise, except that the tortoise had a shield.
Even though the strike was swift and accurate, it only created a beautiful Light Screen show in space.
This scene is remarkably similar to the shields protecting spaceships in science fiction movies. When a beam of laser energy from the ground collides with the light Light Screen, it is blocked by the Polarization Shield. At that moment, photons collide violently at the point of contact and then scatter in all directions.
From another perspective, it was as if a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the space near the warship, like fireworks exploding in the night, which looked very beautiful.
The Polarization Shield's underlying technology is the Low-Temperature Plasma Shield, which is an improvement on the Low-Temperature Plasma Shield and can defend against energy-based weapons such as lasers and plasmas.
However, unlike in science fiction movies, the Polarization Shield here does not display a spherical Light Screen commonly seen in movies and TV series, or Light Screen composed of regular hexagonal squares like in games when it takes effect; instead, nothing can be seen.
The Polarization Shield is not visible in the visible light spectrum.
The only phenomenon observed when it blocked the laser Energy Weapon was a sudden burst of brilliant light in the otherwise empty space.
That's all.
Therefore, in battles at the level of Level 3 Civilization, there were still no scenes of lasers crisscrossing the starry sky like lightsabers, but only patches of light that suddenly lit up from a certain distance away from the warships, undetectable and unpredictable.
This seems somewhat monotonous, lacking the passion and excitement of interstellar warfare, but that's the reality. Of course, from another perspective, such battles also seem more bizarre.
This is how it works in firefights with laser Energy Weapon; these things travel along a light cone and are impossible to detect.
Combined with the silent operation of the Magnetic Propulsion, the Orbital Bombardment of the Twelfth Planet launched by human warships, from a distance, looked as if a group of ghostly warships had arrived in the planet's orbit, and while they were still adjusting their attitude, patches of light inexplicably lit up around them.
Apart from that, there was absolutely no sign of any firefight.
Of course, after some time, this situation changed because a slower-moving land-based super-large Electromagnetic Track railgun arrived.
Faced with these real shells, humanity dared not underestimate them. As soon as the detectors detected them, the Close-In Weapon System on the Sea-Class Warship began to rotate and position themselves, then fired invisible energy beams, attempting to destroy these shells, which contained unknown warheads, before they could hit them.
If it were a hydrogen bomb warhead, humans wouldn't be too afraid; at most, a concentrated hit would only leave a dent on the surface of a warship's armor. What humans fear is that these missile warheads are equipped with Super Micro Nanobots.
As the saying goes, what you fear most is what will happen.
Just as some warships were actually entering Orbital Bombardment mode, a message from the Strong Artificial Intelligence caught the attention of the Command Center.
A Sea-Class Warship was breached Close-In Weapon System the enemy's concentrated fire, allowing an Electromagnetic Railgun to strike the warship's armor.
However, the imagined massive Big Bang did not occur. In the images transmitted back by the Strong Artificial Intelligence, people saw that the shell did indeed explode after hitting the warship's armor, but it was not a hydrogen bomb explosion. Instead, it released a hazy mist, like a smokescreen.
A mist with a metallic sheen.
Silver Mist!
Upon seeing this scene, everyone on the Lyra's eyes widened, and memories of Silver Mist immediately flooded their minds.
It's so similar! This appearance is exactly what humans saw when they first encountered the Silver Mist Consciousness.
However, it should now be called Super Micro Nanobots.
Reflected by the battlefield light, the emerging Super Micro Nanobots spread out like a silver mist, then stuck to the surface of the warship like a malignant tumor.
At this moment, they seemed to transform into a pool of flowing liquid metal, rapidly spreading across the surface of the warship.
At the same time, lines of alarm text were rapidly refreshing on the Strong Artificial Intelligence- controlled monitoring screen aboard the Lyra.
