1336.Particle Beam Lance (Part 1)
Semirres system edge, Spear-class Disaster Battlecruiser, Tachyon Lance.
"The fifth shooting is completed! The temperature of the energy transmission system has reached 92% of the design limit! Do you want to continue shooting? Mr. Chief Engineer." A soldier trotted over and saluted and said.
"No need, that warship must have been destroyed. No need to continue shooting. Immediately self-check and report to me the operation of the entire Tachyon Lance system." Standing in the center of the bridge was a tall and thin Salarian.
It is Fourth Civilization Research Department Chief Engineer, Arroyo-Barlow!
For this first practical test of the Tachyon Lance system, as Chief Engineer, he actually came to the scene in person. Because Tang Xiao ran away to Planet Kaal, but Chief of Staff Qi Jian and these people couldn't hold back this stubborn Salarian. Later, they went to find Salarian's current elders Mordin-Solus, but Mordin didn't care about this matter at all. He just said let him go, and then continued to work on his own affairs.
Mordin, who has become an elder, is naturally very busy. He is responsible for the survival of the entire Salarian clan. Because the reproductive restrictions on Salarian were relaxed, the number of egg-laying Salarian began to skyrocket. The total number is now close to 100 million, and the age structure of the population is approaching a younger age. What the Mordin elders need to do is to maintain the stability of the Salarian social structure as much as possible, and decide when to restart reproduction restrictions and to what extent.
Salarian can be said to be very persistent in scientific research projects, so for Chief Engineer Arroyo-Barlow to personally come to the front line to test the Tachyon Lance system, to elder Mordin, it is actually a very normal thing.
"The energy system self-test is completed! Everything is normal!" A technician turned his head from the operating desk and said.
"The energy transmission rate of the seventh node, the ninth node, and the sixteenth node has decreased. Immediately send someone to the site to check the feedback data." Arroyo-Barlow ignored him, pointed directly at him, turned to the person next to him and said, "This person was immediately demoted to a cleaner to clean the toilet."
"Yes!" The crew and engineers who received the order immediately got busy.
The engineer who only knew how to look at the system data but didn't know how to detect it based on the on-site situation left his seat dejectedly and walked towards the toilet.
Several engineers quickly took the compact engineering Speeder and began to check along the energy transmission line of the entire Tachyon Lance system. As expected, problems were found on the seventh, ninth and sixteenth nodes, and at the same time, bugs in the control system were also exposed.
"Kyber Crystal emission source is intact!"
"The cooling system is operating correctly!"
"The maximum output power of the energy core is reduced by 1.4%!"
"The temperature of Node 4 is abnormal!"
All the data was summarized to Arroyo-Barlow, and he immediately organized and calculated it with his scientific research team.
Calamity-class battlecruiser is 1,550 meters long. The overall hull is long and narrow, like a long knife. There is a reason why this battleship was selected by Arroyo-Barlow as the prototype ship carrying the Tachyon Lance system.
Calamity-class is the main battleship of the Amarr Empire in the "EVE" technology tree. According to the battleship classification rules of Fourth Civilization, it is a battlecruiser. This kind of battleship originally adopted the gallery gun mode. There were eight extremely powerful laser cannons on the left and right sides of the battleship, but there was no firepower on the front of the battleship.
Coupled with the long and narrow structure of the battleship, it is just the prototype for the Tachyon Lance system.
According to the research and development of Arroyo-Barlow, Fourth Civilization is the first generation Particle Beam Lance system. The entire system is 1,100 meters long. In addition, it must be integrated with the energy core at the rear of the warship. Currently, no warship can apply to Fourth Civilization. The entire system length of Yamato Cannon including Behemoth-class battlecruiser, Behemoth-class is only about 700 meters, so Behemoth-class is generally a more traditional warship, with Marines, fighter squadrons, etc.
In that huge database, there are other warships that can carry the first-generation Particle Beam Lance system, but they all require a long period of research and development. But Salarian has been conducting research on the Amarr Empire battleship technology in "EVE", so it was not too troublesome for them to develop the Calamity-class battleship - of course, after joining the Fourth Civilization Navy establishment, this design, which was originally a battleship, was naturally downgraded to a battlecruiser.
In the design of Arroyo-Barlow, the emission source of the first-generation Particle Beam Lance system is the Group One large Kyber Crystal array. This is because the Tachyon Lance system is derived from the technology tree of "Stellaris". However, during actual use, it was discovered that the level of technology required to achieve the ultra-long-distance energy focusing of Tachyon Lance is very advanced, and basically exceeds the current level of technology in the galaxy by at least 100 years, whether it is Fourth Civilization or Galactic Republic.
But more than two years ago, Sefrans-General Tann, who had just shown his talents, drove all the way straight to Energy Planet Sarapin, Galactic Republic Core Worlds, and in the process, she seized the secret weapon Galactic Republic was developing - Extractor.
Extractor is a weapon that uses Kyber Crystal as the launch source, but it is just a 30-meter-long large land combat unit. After getting the Extractor prototype, both Confederacy of Independent Systems and Fourth Civilization conducted extensive research on the project, so much so that Fourth Civilization Army Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao was seriously injured when Galactic Republic tried to recapture Extractor.
Later, during the research process, Fourth Civilization scientists believed that the model of Extractor was not very suitable for the army. On the contrary, if this system was enlarged, it could become a quite powerful naval weapon.
Therefore, the very forward-thinking Salary Chief Engineer Arroyo-Barlow immediately made a decision and started after checking the information of Extractor. Particle Beam Lance plan, and the key to the entire plan is to use Kyber Crystal to replace the emission source, reducing the technology required for the entire technology to the level that Fourth Civilization can complete it!
Kyber Crystal is the most ultra-standard resource in the universe of "Star Wars". Whether it is Lightsaber of Jedi Knight or the emission sources of Death Star and Starkiller Base in the future, they are all made of Kyber Crystal. Why Kyber Crystal can stimulate such a huge amount of energy, and where does this energy come from, including the scientists of the "Star Wars" universe and the researchers of Jedi Order, have not been able to get an accurate answer, and the only thing they can know is that the connection between Kyber Crystal and the Force is the closest among all substances.
In other words, everyone knows how to use Kyber Crystal, but no one knows why it can be used in this way. In general, Kyber Crystal has two functions, first: focusing energy, and second: amplifying energy. As for why energy can be amplified, this is completely throwing the law of conservation of energy to the ground. No one knows how it is achieved.
Then, if the Force is injected into Kyber Crystal, various unpredictable and wonderful phenomena will occur, which is closer to metaphysics.
In short, after conquering and occupying the crystal planet Christophsis, Fourth Civilization also has a very large and stable crystal supply chain, and the source of Kyber Crystal has also been solved.
Therefore, Arroyo-Barlow was able to complete this advanced weapon research-Particle Beam Lance!
