Once he got his ideas flowing, Doctor Otto proved to be quite gifted in military technology.
Quark Fusion was only a theory and still needed time to be realized, but some technologies could be adopted directly, such as the Nova Empire's energy manipulation technology.
Under the control of a field device, pure energy could become an almost tangible shield. Such technology had once been the stuff of fantasy, but the Nova Empire had extensive experience in this area and could even be considered advanced on a cosmic scale.
An "Energy Shield" became possible with this field generation technology.
In the video, Otto activated a Field Generator over three meters tall. A faint blue glow flashed past, and it was impossible to see what had happened with the naked eye.
However, the instruments showed that an energy barrier with a radius of about five meters had formed around the Field Generator, mixed with some physical particles to enhance its defensive capabilities.
The Energy Shield stabilized. A Gamma Laser struck the barrier, and it was obvious that the beam dispersed across its surface, almost unable to penetrate it.
In theory, although this Gamma Laser did not reach the intensity of a ship-mounted weapon, at this distance it could easily punch through armor plating dozens of centimeters thick. Yet under the effect of the Energy Shield, the Gamma Laser dispersed, spreading across the shield's surface as if it had been deflected.
Otto summarized, "This form of energy defense is highly effective against laser weapons and can achieve almost complete deflection. Even if a small number of photons pass through the shield, they no longer possess any lethality."
Laser weapons, especially Gamma Laser emitters, had extremely strong penetration against physical armor. Particles could even pass through a ship's armor before thermal energy melted it,
