Starting from Zero

The front main gun of the New Asterisk suddenly ejected golden flames. Less than 0.1 second apart, the Sith Empire battleship on the opposite side suddenly buckled, and its flying attitude instantly lost control and turned towards Lean to the left. In order to correct the flight attitude, the spaceship began to yaw unconsciously. After completing a turn close to ninety degrees, two large nozzles suddenly opened below the left side of the spaceship. Blue plasma flames spurted from them, quickly restoring the balance of the spaceship, but it did not turn to the previous course. , But moved along the current course, and at this time the height of the spaceship of the Sith Empire has dropped to an ultra-low altitude state. It is now less than 500 meters above the ground. Because of its huge volume, it feels like flying over it from the ground.

If it was before, the officials in charge of news control would have fainted after seeing this picture, but now... he has fainted, so he shouldn't mind until he wakes up.

This Sith Empire battleship has flown all the way and there are at least two million witnesses, so news control and other things are completely impossible to implement. Anyway, there are more lice, not itching, and debt. No worries, the country has completely abandoned treatment in this regard. In the recent troubled season, it is indeed no wonder that the department is not doing its best. It is really too much to cover.

The four more than a hundred meters long Sith Empire battleship seems to be trying to pull up again after wiping the ground for a while. Its height is slowly rising, and it is no longer above the ground when it was lowest. It's 300 meters, but now it has climbed to more than 500 meters, and it's still climbing slowly.

However, Rising Star did not intend to let it go. The second-charged main gun aimed at the gravity engine on the other side and fired another round. The high-energy armor-piercing projectile instantly penetrated the second group engine, but this time the opponent seemed to be prepared. The emergency jet thruster on the right ignited instantaneously, and then supported the spaceship almost without interval, and there was no secondary yaw. The other party also knows that their speed will drop during the yaw process, and in their current state, if the speed drops, they are likely to be completely killed.

To be honest, the Sith Empire battleship is completely different from when it was separated from the battleship. The surface of this thing is now basically a hole, which was caused by a large shotgun from the previous Nova Star. At that time, because the opponent's shield generator happened to be overloaded, in order to prevent the opponent from re-opening the shield after charging, the new star temporarily supplemented a shot, and directly paralyzed the shield generator diffusion device located outside the spaceship. Without the external diffuser, even if the shield is fully charged, they don't expect to activate the shield again.

Although the appearance is completely different, but at least this thing can fly, and there are a few artillery fires on it, and occasionally it will attack the new asterisk behind it. And the status of New Star is actually not very good. A big hole was opened in the front when the opponent was a battleship before, and the shield generator at this time was almost at its limit. Because of the previous consecutive shots, the second backflow protector that was replaced was about to melt away.

However, although the new star is not in good condition, it is much better than the previous battleship of the Sith Empire. At least the new star's firepower configuration is still there, and its attack capability has not been weakened. And if you look closely, you will find that the big hole in the bow of the Nova is much smaller than when it was pierced just before. When it was first penetrated, the big hole could be directly used as a train culvert, but now at most one car can be driven in, not a large vehicle.

Regarding the plugging of this hole...In fact, it is not a problem of internal maintenance, but a design problem of Nova's own.

As a special attack ship, the nature of the work determines that it needs to stay away from the rear for a long time for supply and maintenance, so these issues were thought of when designing.

In order to deal with possible damage and ensure that the new signal can be repaired by itself after being injured by the enemy, the new star is equipped with a creator and pilgrim, as well as a certain kind provided by another race. The ultimate technology completed by these technologies-atomic-level regeneration technology.

This is actually the high-level application of programmable atoms on our body. Its creative source is the nano-robot technology used by the creators, but it is much higher-end. The creators’ nanorobots can indeed repair some damages, but their repair capabilities are limited and can only sew small wounds, and their ability to repair large-area injuries is very poor. Later, the pilgrims provided sub-atomic micro-modification technology, plus mechanical cell technology provided by a race that was in alliance with the creator. The combination of the three technologies ultimately gave birth to this atomic-level renewable technology.

Different from the usual repairs, this renewable technology covers the entire battleship. No matter how severe the ship is destroyed, as long as one core key-the core AI is online, it can regenerate itself without restriction.

All the structures that make up this ship are actually programmable atoms, and when they are combined, they form a life structure. So you can also think of the new star as a living mechanical lifeform. In addition to having no thinking, it is basically a lifeform, and unlike the normal lifeform, this kind of regenerative ability is actually not only regenerative.

New Star can even grow a part that it didn't have before, or break down some unnecessary things by itself and restore it to raw materials for construction or repair other parts that are needed.

Of course, this process of reorganization or withdrawal requires three basic conditions: command, energy, and materials.

Programmable atoms cannot build objects by themselves, so they need a command center. This is the fundamental reason why the AI ​​core must be online for it to function. The new star’s AI is actually the eight Dragon Clan instances, so as long as one of them is still alive, this feature can continue to take effect. Of course, the recovery speed will slow down when the number of people drops, because this requires a certain amount of computing power, and the reduction in computing speed will naturally lead to a decrease in the recovery speed if there are fewer people.

Of course, the energy part is also necessary. The transformation of material structure requires energy support, and this energy is not necessarily provided by spaceship's own power. In fact, programmable atoms have the ability to convert molecular vibration energy into kinetic energy. That is to say, in theory, programmable atoms can absorb environmental heat for self-repair at temperatures beyond absolute zero. Of course, the level of environmental temperature directly affects Absorption speed. If the spaceship happens to be near a star, the repair speed may be very fast. Of course, it does not mean that more energy can be repaired in an instant, after all, computing power and programmable atomic self-regeneration speed also have an impact.

In addition to computing power and energy support, materials are also a key factor. Programmable atom impossible create something from nothing, so it needs material. However, because atomic-level recombination is already possible, programmable atoms can theoretically form any compound structure, but they cannot change the atomic structure. In other words, programmable atoms cannot use iron atoms to synthesize gold, but as long as other auxiliary atoms are provided, it can form any kind of alloy structure.

Because of this feature, a certain amount of foreign matter needs to be converted to a programmable atom to repair the hull. Of course, because the new star has this function, it will bring some extra materials as spares, but if the spare materials are exhausted, it does not mean that there is no way. Programmable atoms can actually decompose any matter. As long as they stop on the surface of a planet or asteroid, they can decompose the matter on the surface of the star just like army ants cannibalize large organisms and select useful elements to transform it.

As long as the above three conditions can work normally, the Nova can regenerate indefinitely, no matter how high the damage is. And the smaller the damage, the faster the repair.

At present, the eight Dragon Clan members in the new star are all there, and the energy is considered enough, and the spare repair materials in the body have not been used up, so the repair speed is quite fast, and this way is not enough. In less than half an hour, there is only a small hole left at the entrance of the cave where you can pass a private car. Counting the part where recovery speeds up after the hole becomes smaller, the remaining part should be able to fully recover within ten minutes.

Of course, the strength of the newly restored location will be weaker than elsewhere. It's not a problem of recovering materials, but a problem of repairing principles. In the repair process, programmable atoms will first weave something similar to a metal mesh, then weave the Second Layer mesh, gradually accumulate forward, and finally form a molecular-level mesh structure to block loopholes and repair the original structure. After the mesh structure is completed, the function has been basically restored, and naked eye does not see any problems. But at this time, the material itself is actually full of holes, so the structural strength is actually not up to the original standard, but at least it can be used.

After the emergency repairs in this step are completed, the programmable atoms will start to fill the gaps of the grid with materials and completely seal the gaps. Only when this part is completed, the material strength Will return to the previous level. However, at this time, the outer defense still does not reach the original standard, because the only part of the programmable atomic recovery is the hull structure and internal equipment, while the outer protective armor of the Nova is a layer of real biological armor.

This layer of golden biological armor is a real lifeform, which is different from the programmable atom without any biological consciousness in the hull itself. This layer of lifeform has a thinking ability similar to that of a mollusk. It is alive, has life, and can respond to external stimuli. Although the level of intelligence is almost equal to no, it is a lifeform after all.

Although this biological armor looks golden light and shiny, it seems to be metal, but it is actually a real lifeform, but it belongs to a mixed lifeform, and it cannot be simply regarded as a silicon-based lifeform or a carbon-based lifeform. Life, it is a man-made independent lifeform system.

The protection ability of this thing far exceeds the metal armor of programmable atom synthesis, and it also comes with a shield, and the shield of biological armor will not interfere with the shield generated by the shield generator, so the new star There are actually two layers of shields. This is the main reason why the Nova was able to fight against the battleship, which is known for its high offensive blood, and finally won.

Although the external situation looks not very good now, the main burden of the new star is actually a slight overload of the power core. Fighting against the battleship, there is no problem and the quality is strong.

Anyway, it's the new star that is pressing the Sith Empire battleship, so although the pressure on the power system is too high, it can still be maintained.

The jet thruster on the battleship of the Sith Empire on the opposite side has now completely replaced the previous gravity engine, and the speed has actually increased slightly after changing this thruster, but we are not too worried. Because according to the consensus of the eight new compatriots and the pilgrim leader, this thruster should belong to the category of emergency power. In other words, this thing shouldn't last long, as long as it runs out, even if no one hits it, it will fall on its own.

Of course we can’t wait, so we have to fight.

Because I don’t understand the structure of the jet thruster, and the new model doesn’t know where to fight better, I can only continue the old way. Sooner or later I can beat it down.

At this time, the Sith Empire battleship had become a voyage from north to west because of its previous yaw. It had just crossed the outskirts of Tongling and continued northward. However, just after it passed Wuwei County, a large number of missiles of various types flew up on the ground in front of it, and I even saw a large cloud of cannonballs flying over.

The Sith Empire battleship is flying at a height of less than 600 meters at this time, which is very easy for ground troops to obtain. In the past, because the opponent had shields and a large number of close-in weapons, missile interception was almost useless, but now it is different. The surface of the opponent's hull is almost smashed into a sieve, and there are few defensive weapons that can be used. Even if there is still one that can be activated, facing this kind of fan-saturated attack from three directions, the opponent is absolutely impossible to block all attacks. Moreover, the most important point is that the opponent has no shields anymore. Although the strength of alien metal materials is exaggerated, but also not really indestructible at all, the huge might of heavy weapons can actually be more or less effective. And those spaceships that have been inaccessible before are the spaceships of the creators. The battleship of the Sith Empire is said to be not as high-end as the materials of the creators, so theoretically these weapons should be a deterrent to the battleship of the Sith Empire. Forceful. Of course, the premise is that the other party has no shield.

Looking at the densely packed missiles and the cannonballs flying in like dark clouds, I probably understood what the generals meant. They hope to shoot down this battleship in Chaohu Lake, which is the largest uninhabited area nearby. After all, it is much safer to fall into the lake than to directly hit the ground. Although it may cause big waves, the opponent's speed is already not too fast, and the height is not too exaggerated. Even if some waves are stirred up, it should not cause much casualties, so Chaohu is indeed the one who shot down the opponent. Good location.
