Chapter 395: Construction of the Star Killer Cannon

The same is true for Liu Xiu. Although the effect of Gestalt consciousness is only limited to people who have been injected with genetic enhancement drugs, five years have passed now, and it has been confirmed that the genetic enhancement drugs have no defects.

All humans on the Wandering Blue Star have been injected with genetic enhancement drugs.

Therefore, the entire Wandering Blue Star's population of more than 6 billion are Liu Xiu's most loyal supporters. Liu Xiu does not have to worry that they will violate his orders and push him down.

So under the influence of Gestalt consciousness, this time the Wandering Blue Star agreed a lot with Liu Xiu's plan to counterattack the alien human base. There was no resistance at all, and they all expressed their support, and it was absolute support.

Of course, launching an interstellar expedition is not an easy task, and conquering a multi-stellar civilization with billions of people is also a difficult war.

And the most important thing is how Liu Xiu should go there, whether he should build a fleet like he did over there.

But in the end, it was Liu Xiu who made the final decision and decided to directly put all the wandering blue stars on it.

So the steering engine on the wandering blue planet that was originally intended to dock in the Proxima Centauri system and Pandora was started again.

The direction of the Wandering Blue Planet was diverted, and then the Wandering Blue Planet, which had originally entered the braking period, began to accelerate.

It is not unreasonable for Liu Xiu to plan to send the entire Wandering Blue Star forward. After all, interstellar wars are fought with resources and logistics. If the fleet is too small, it will not be enough and they will definitely lose. But if the fleet is too large, there will not be enough resources to build a transport spacecraft like the Entrepreneurship Star that is one or two kilometers long!
So it would be better to be straightforward and go all the way there in one go, driving the entire Wandering Blue Planet over there. Then the entire Wandering Blue Planet can be used as a take-off and landing supply platform for space fighters.

Of course, if we really continue to fight like this, we will end up in a war of resource consumption.

A resource consumption war was the kind of war that Liu Xiu was most reluctant to fight, because this kind of war was a test of the foundation of a nation or a civilization.

Therefore, this kind of behavior of killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of one's own people was the thing Liu Xiu least wanted to see.

Therefore, a decisive weapon that can determine the outcome of a battle has become the focus of research.

Of course, this weapon is not a missile or an antimatter bomb.

After all, for interstellar warfare, this kind of weapon is too weak, because before gaining an overwhelming advantage, it is impossible to successfully deliver high-power bombs such as missiles.

Therefore, a weapon with a long range, great power, and preferably the ability to destroy a planet with one shot became the object of Liu Xiu's research.

Before Liu Xiu traveled through time, he had naturally seen this kind of weapon in the science fiction movies he had seen. This was the star destroyer in the Star Wars movie series.

Of course, what impressed Liu Xiu the most was naturally the star destroyer cannon based on the entire planet. Of course, the energy source of the star destroyer cannon in the Starkiller Base in the movie that can destroy several planets with one shot is stars.

In the movie story, deep in the unknown area of ​​the galaxy, the First Order, far away from the vigilant eyes of the New Arch and the detectors of the Resistance, transformed an entire planet into a terrifying super weapon.

Starkiller Base harnesses the limitless potential of the universe's dark energy, unleashing devastating firepower capable of traveling halfway across the galaxy at speeds far faster than the speed of light. With this weapon in hand, the First Order could destroy entire star systems without having to travel across the starry seas or alerting the enemy when an attack was about to begin. This gave the First Order a strategic advantage in controlling the galaxy that the Death Star's builders could never have imagined. Starkiller Base's weapons harness the potential of dark energy using decades of research by Emperor. A collector on one side of this planet collects dark energy from the host star and redirects it into the planet's core.

There, the energy is contained by a barrier field. This barrier field is a combination of the planet's magnetic field, its unique crystalline bedrock, and an artificial force field regulated by a thermal oscillator. Then, a breach is opened in the barrier field, funneling the dark energy into a shaft on the other side of the planet. The emitted energy forms an incredibly powerful beam, capable of punching through hyperspace on its own. The beam's deadly firepower is not diminished even halfway across the galaxy.

A planet would be a poor container for such horrific energies, and even normal operations of Starkiller Base would destabilize the planet's crust, causing earthquakes and atmospheric disturbances that could rise into violent storms.

Of course, this was the introduction to the cannons in the Star Killer Base that Liu Xiu saw before he traveled through time.

However, it is still difficult for Liu Xiu to talk to him about dark energy now.

Fortunately, although Liu Xiu could not learn from the First Order in Star Wars to use dark energy to create a star-killer cannon, Liu Xiu felt that it would be possible to use antimatter instead.

After all, as long as the caliber is large enough, it is not impossible to destroy a star with one shot. Liu Xiu has two plans in his mind. The first plan is a large-caliber electromagnetic cannon to launch large-mass kinetic energy shells to hit stars.

However, the electromagnetic gun has a drawback, which is that the speed of the electromagnetic cannon shells is too slow.

With the diameter of the Wandering Blue Planet, even if it was hollowed out, it would not be possible to produce an electromagnetic cannonball close to the speed of light. After all, although the Venture Star spacecraft can travel at a speed of 70% of the speed of light, this is mainly due to the acceleration over ultra-long distances.

Therefore, it is indeed very difficult to accelerate electromagnetic cannon shells to the speed of light within a short distance.

Of course, the speed of light is not actually needed. As long as the mass of the electromagnetic kinetic energy bomb is large enough, only 10% or even 1% of the speed of light is enough to destroy a planet with a diameter of more than 10,000 kilometers.

However, such a speed is fine for close-range attacks, but it is not enough for long-range attacks. They can use antimatter missiles or other methods to deviate the trajectory of the electromagnetic kinetic energy bullet.

However, close distance is the most deadly, because it is impossible for Liu Xiu to drive the Wandering Blue Star very close to the Alien Blue Star.

Therefore, the best way is to install a super-caliber laser cannon on the wandering blue star, which is the best star-destroying weapon at this stage.

The Wandering Blue Star already has the experience and ability to build large-scale buildings such as tens of thousands of planetary engines, so building another laser cannon is naturally not a problem.

Of course, in order to ensure sufficient power, the caliber of this laser cannon must be large enough.

Of course, Liu Xiu couldn't have designed this laser cannon that could destroy a star with one shot by himself, so when Liu Xiu convened another high-level meeting, he said to the high-level officials:

"Now that we have decided to attack the aliens, we must be fully prepared. However, as you all know, the technological strength of the aliens is not much different from ours. Therefore, if we attack forcefully, the final result will most likely be a war of attrition where we kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of our own. For this reason, I have come up with this solution!"
