1868, Polar Research Institute
"Death Star...Death Star..." Tang Xiao leaned on the sofa and muttered to himself.
After a long time, he suddenly stood up, spoke to his assistant, and walked towards his exclusive spaceport. Within a moment, the 20-meter-long, dagger-shaped Sith exclusive fighter 'Red Comet' flew out of the spaceport and soon left the gravity well and entered hyperspace.
Hoth Planet (Hoth), this is a snow-covered planet, located in a remote location at the edge of the galaxy, close to Bespin.
In the original plot, this planet can be said to be famous, because here, Battle of Hoth broke out, Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance fought here. The Empire also invested a large number of army troops including AT-AT to land, and finally destroyed the Rebel Alliance base here.
The famous X-wing tripped the long legs of the AT-AT walker with a hook, which happened to Battle of Hoth.
But now, this still desolate planet is destined to have no more Rebel Alliance base. But similarly, Hoth Planet may be remembered in another way in the future.
Red Comet was blocked by Interdictor, and then Tang Xiao entered his own permission identification code into the navigation system, and then he was able to enter hyperspace navigation again.
If it were anyone else, they could only be blocked here, or have these Interdictor destroyed. In this case, people on Hoth Planet will also be provided with sufficient time warning.
Red Comet enters Hoth Planet. The coordinates displayed on the navigation system have been changed to Duchy of Dawn natural science expedition team, Polar Research Institute.
According to the navigation information, Red Comet entered the atmosphere. The spacecraft flew in an extremely cold environment where the average temperature could reach minus 60 degrees. There were snowstorms almost everywhere. The strong wind mixed with ice continued to blow against the shield of the spacecraft. Even the shield reacted and caused ripples.
In such an environment, most organisms cannot survive.
However, the Creator still left a little exception on this planet...
In a place in the northern hemisphere, if a warm current passes through, the average temperature in this area will rise to minus 30 degrees Celsius, and the wind and snow are light, so it is still possible to survive here. This place is also the location where Rebel Alliance built the base in the original plot.
Now, Duchy of Dawn has established a large-scale underground research base here, claiming to be Polar Research Institute who studies the ecology of extremely cold environments.
But actually...
Tang Xiao flew the spacecraft from a hidden entrance into one of the mountains, continued to descend, and stopped on a platform.
This is a huge base built under a mountain! It is not only a research base, but also an engineering base and manufacturing base!!
And here is where Tang Xiao studies ways to fight Death Star! It is also Duchy of Dawn's biggest secret project at present.
Tang Xiao's personal arrival has been informed to the base manager. When he stepped off the spacecraft, more than a dozen scientists and engineers came to greet him. There are humans and Salarians among them. For a scientific research team, this is normal, but surprisingly, there are several Vaxians among them!
"Sir Governor, I'm sorry we didn't know you were here to inspect in person..." The leader, a human scientist in his fifties, stepped forward to greet him.
Tang Xiao waved his hands impatiently and said, "No need for these false politenesses, Professor Bilefe Tony. I need to know more practical things. Now the danger is getting closer and closer. According to the intelligence, Galactic Empire's star-destroying weapon has completed the preliminary design and should have entered the construction stage. There is not much time left for us."
The scientist named Bilefe Tony nodded and said, "We are already doing our best to carry out research and development, but the problem before us is not the workload, but the lack of that last flash of inspiration."
"Show me." Tang Xiao said as he walked towards the depths of the base. It was not his first time here, so he naturally knew how to go and others quickly followed.
Bilefe Tony followed closely beside Tang Xiao and said, "We have not yet solved the problem of super-light speed navigation, whether it is hyperspace or warp speed. The current tests are not ideal."
"What's the difficulty?" Tang Xiao asked as he entered a huge laboratory.
"There are some differences in the cosmological constants in the database, which makes it impossible for us to reproduce the situation in the original design where we can directly launch a cross-galaxy strike." Bilefe-Tony said, calling up a simulation result on the computer.
I only see a light point flying out on the screen, and a large amount of data is constantly changing around it, indicating that the flight of this light point is not a simple flight, but is simulating a complex process.
Then the light point kept flying like this. At a place in the middle, the data displayed around it suddenly increased and became more complicated. The countless numbers were completely dizzying. But the light spot was still flying at a constant speed, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, even a layman like Tang Xiao knew that the simulation test failed.
"This is the result after we launch the nuclear bomb according to the method in the database. About three hundred thousand years later, this nuclear bomb can hit Coruscant." Bilefe-Tony said.
"In the database, the universe where this technology is located is not much different from now. We can even build Ragnarok-class Titan warship and Ankollon-class Titan warship. Why can't we complete the construction of Novalith Cannon?" Tang Xiao looked a little unhappy.
That's right! Novalith Cannon is Tang Xiao's answer to the threat of the Galactic Empire Death Star!
This super weapon in "Sins of a Solar Empire" is a terrifying device that can span countless planetary systems and launch bombings on another area of the galaxy!
Although the names are similar, the advantages and disadvantages of Novalith Cannon are obvious compared to Death Star. Death Star must fly to the target galaxy through hyperspace navigation, then approach the target planet, emit destructive rays, and directly destroy the planet.
But Novalith Cannon can use an extremely huge accelerator to launch an equally powerful cannonball from tens of thousands of light years away, making it impossible to prevent it.
Relatively speaking, Death Star must charge into battle, so a large number of defense facilities are designed to protect it. Novalith Cannon is very safe. You can fire from a long distance. If the opponent wants to fight back, they must hit all the way to the hinterland of Duchy of Dawn!
But correspondingly, Novalith Cannon does not have the ability to destroy a planet. It can only guarantee to continuously launch powerful shells to harass, and can threaten almost every planet in the galaxy!
