Ten shells, one large and nine small, struck the target Orca-class Battleship at speeds infinitely close to light speed, sending ripples across its Energy Shield.
Ordinarily, a Railgun could never have such power, enough to make an Orca-class Battleship's Energy Shield ripple.
According to what Bai Zixuan had said before, the ten launch ports of this new Railgun had been specially arranged to ensure that all ten shells struck simultaneously. The energy generated by the impacts would resonate with one another, dealing tremendous damage to Energy Shields.
"Commander, the target ship reports that its Energy Shield has been depleted by 12%!"
The tester was equally excited as he reported the result. He had never expected such an outdated weapon to possess this kind of power. Was this what one should expect from humanity's chief scientist, Elder Bai?
"Not bad. How long until it can fire again?"
Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction as he listened to the tester's report, then continued asking.
"Since it uses physical ammunition, it needs to be reloaded after firing. Reloading takes approximately fifteen seconds. At present, this Railgun is mounted on a warship, so charging is not an issue. But if it is to operate independently, it will need a powerful energy source!"
Lin Fan frowned when he heard that. This was a major problem!
He could not possibly install a Nuclear Fusion reactor on every Railgun. That would be ridiculous.
But without doing that, how would he supply the Railguns with energy?
Wait, he had it! Lyca Crystals—yes, Lyca Crystals! The Lyca Empire's Energy Crystals, which humanity had named Lyca Crystals!
Lyca Crystals had been specially tested before. Once fully charged, each one could support an Orca-class Battleship of the Federation through one high-intensity campaign.
If used solely for a new Railgun system, they could
