Bilefe-Toni began chattering away, introducing Tang Xiao to the Novalith Cannon's specifications and the difficulties they currently faced.
The Novalith Cannon, a superweapon of the Trader Emergency Coalition in Sins of a Solar Empire, was a magnificent construct embodying the culmination of all the Trader Emergency Coalition's cutting-edge weaponry.
At its core, it was undoubtedly a super cannon. However, the Novalith Cannon was entirely different from the Ragnarok-class Titan warship, which was also a super cannon, and the technological sophistication was not even on the same level.
The Ragnarok-class Titan warship was simply a super electromagnetic cannon—nothing more than a larger caliber, 500 meters, and greater power. Even nearly twenty years ago, Darth Pregas had judged it to be "very crude." It was only because Darth Pregas had possessed no blueprints for any other super warships at the time that he had treasured it and eagerly built the vessel.
The Novalith Cannon was likewise a super cannon, but it was required to fire shells tens of thousands of light-years away! That alone was not something that could be achieved merely by increasing its power.
Of course, in theory, the range of kinetic weapons in the weightless environment of space was unlimited. But as the simulation test Bilefe-Toni had just conducted showed, once a launch failed, the shell could indeed still reach its target—several hundred thousand years later.
Yet the Novalith Cannon's design could bring more than half the Milky Way Galaxy within its strike range! In other words, the firing cycle could not exceed one month at most, or it would lose all strategic significance.
Bilefe-Toni and the others were now trying to overcome precisely this problem—how to fire a shell tens of thousands of light-years away.
Tang Xiao's patience had run out. He waved a hand sharply and said,
