The Second Battle of the Modell Sector (Final)
For the Cachalot-class industrial flagship to suddenly withstand nearly ten volleys from more than ten Republic Hunter Class Battlecruisers was no simple matter. This was due to the United Mining Group's latest research result—the industrial module, the Pulse-activated All-Purpose Core.
This industrial module was essentially an extraordinarily powerful energy overload system.
After activating the module, the engines' energy output would reach hundreds of times its normal level! And because the energy supply was simply too immense to be effectively diverted, every system aboard the ship aside from life support would go offline, with all energy supplied to the shield system.
At that moment, only the shield system, which was constantly taking hits, could absorb such an enormous amount of energy. The weapons system could not. This module could only be used on shields, where the energy flow was relatively stable, and not on weapons systems that consumed energy in explosive bursts. Otherwise, the entire ship would become an oversized bomb.
Its effects were remarkable, but its cost was equally staggering.
Not only could the entire warship do nothing but sit there and take it while the module was active, but the immense heat generated by the overloaded engines also meant that the ship had to dock near an icy asteroid.
As everyone knew, in the vacuum of space, without air to facilitate heat exchange, heat dissipation was the greatest problem. Normally, vast quantities of coolant were required.
The heat generated by the Pulse-activated All-Purpose Core was likewise terrifying, far beyond what ordinary coolant could handle. The ship had to dock beside an icy asteroid, pulverize the asteroid into fine powder, and fire it out in the form of medium pulse waves, continuously spraying pulse waves to lower the temperature. The amount expended
