2569. Abnormal "eyes"
Looking at the zombie-like people around him, General Grievous sneered, pushed the people next to him away, and then came to one of the spaceships.
This is a spacecraft produced by Targon Planet, about 170 meters long, and is said to be their main ship. The main firepower of this spacecraft is three twin 400mm caliber electromagnetic guns and more than 60 Electromagnetic Cannon turrets for air defense.
For a warship of this caliber, even a Cobalt-class frigate in the naval sequence of Kingdom of Dawn would be able to directly drive unparalleled.
At this moment, about 200 Targonians are opening the belly of the spacecraft, disassembling the energy system, and then transporting the energy to the internal cabin of the super battleship where they are now - the Eye of Palpatine.
However, General Grievous is very sure that the disassembled energy system cannot be used at all.
Because Targon Planet, the main power source they use is actually the very old primary nuclear fusion technology, using helium-3 as fuel. And what about the Eye of Palpatine? As the most advanced and powerful battleship of the Galactic Empire, it naturally uses the most advanced energy devices.
The Eye of Palpatine uses the solar furnace of Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, and the fuel used is Hypermatter. Calculated based on Kingdom of Dawn's own technology system, the engine output of the Hypermatter reaction reactor is slightly larger than that of the antimatter reactor, but smaller than that of the dark matter reactor. It's just that the Hypermatter reaction reactor is difficult to miniaturize, so its application is not as widespread as antimatter.
Now, why would General Grievous think about these two energy devices with completely different technological levels together?
Because he discovered something in the past few days - the Eye of Palpatine, lack of fuel supply!
Not only the conventional energy provided by the Hypermatter reaction reactor, but also the Coaxium needed by the hyperspace engine! Among them, the lack of Coaxium is even more fatal!
Because the Eye of Palpatine was tracking Destruction battleship over a long distance before, and was led by Destruction in a large circle deep inside Hutt Space. Moreover, this super battleship is very certain that the energy it consumes when performing a hyperspace jump is much greater than that of Destruction battleship. Therefore, after this pursuit, the current stock of Coaxium has bottomed out!
And since Coaxium has bottomed out, the Eye of Palpatine should immediately return to the Galactic Empire's military base for supplies, but it did not.
On the contrary, it just runs around in Hutt Space, and then every time it reaches an inhabited planet, it runs over and uses its powerful electromagnetic waves to brainwash some people, and controls their spaceships, allowing those brainwashed people to dismantle the energy system on the spacecraft for its use.
However, this is obviously useless.
Even Kingdom of Dawn himself has not mastered advanced hyperspace engine fuel like Coaxium. This is Galactic Empire's unique technology. Kingdom of Dawn's jump engine uses vacuum zero-point energy, which is an energy extracted directly from the universe using quantum field technology. Currently, Kingdom of Dawn only has very rudimentary extraction technology and can only be used in the jump engines of very large battleships.
Therefore, it is precisely because of the lack of Coaxium that the Eye of Palpatine uses more warp speed navigation to move around in circles. This is also the reason why Kingdom of Dawn's hyperspace listening station has never been able to find traces of the Eye of Palpatine.
Such anomalies made General Grievous pay attention, and he began to think about countermeasures.
In fact, General Grievous noticed this detail when he commanded Destruction battleship and the Eye of Palpatine to have a desperate confrontation.
He discovered that the Eye of Palpatine would very strangely use its powerful electromagnetic waves to brainwash some people, or forcibly invade the computer system of the opponent's warship, and then capture all those spaceships - whether they are civilian or military spaceships, and put them into the hangar in its belly.
Then, General Grievous had a crazy plan. After Destruction battleship was sunk, he saw that the Eye of Palpatine was in a daze, so he drove his own fighter close to the opponent, and proactively lowered the shield and stopped the weapon system.
As expected, the Eye of Palpatine did not attack him, but instead launched extremely powerful electromagnetic waves in an attempt to brainwash him.
However, the Eye of Palpatine's electromagnetic wave brainwashing is not a specialized brainwashing technology, but a very crude and powerful brainwashing method. Most of the people brainwashed in this way are already fools and can only do some very basic tasks.
And the same is true for the way it controls the opponent's spacecraft. It is essentially an electronic warfare technology. If your own warship has a very complete firewall and strong enough energy output, it is actually not difficult to deal with it.
Therefore, this level of brainwashing has no effect on General Grievous. He was originally the 'demigod' of Caladanian, leading Caladanian to resist the invasion of Yamrii, and was the extremely determined existence of the Will. It was later transformed into a cyborg, using the most advanced technology at the time.
Even after that, General Grievous upgraded his mechanical body many times. After taking refuge in Kingdom of Dawn, Hutt Space also received a new round of transformation. Now, he can be called the most advanced and powerful cyborg in the galaxy. It is no exaggeration.
However, his exclusive fighter was still directly overwhelmed by the system firewall due to the powerful energy of the Eye of Palpatine, and was controlled by the opponent. Then, he and his fighter were thrown into his stomach by the Eye of Palpatine.
There, General Grievous saw a large number of people and spacecraft that were also controlled. Among these people were Stormtrooper from the Galactic Empire, engineers, and some civilians kidnapped on the way. They were all brainwashed and then followed some simple instructions to work.
And the Eye of Palpatine doesn't seem to know how to provide them with food and water, so these people will soon starve to death. Then the corpse will be thrown out of outer space as garbage by the Eye of Palpatine.
General Grievous certainly does not have food and water issues, nor will it be affected by the Eye of Palpatine. Therefore, he has been lurking inside the Eye of Palpatine during this period, trying to find the weakness of this super battleship.
He also had to make this choice because the Eye of Palpatine is too powerful! It was so powerful that he couldn't think of any other way to compete with it.
He believes that unless Kingdom of Dawn dispatches Archangel-class Titan Warship, he will definitely not be the Eye of Palpatine's opponent!
