Chapter 131 – Proton torpedo!

Du Xingyu has already been developing proton torpedoes, and the current progress is 83%.

The so-called proton torpedo, as the name suggests, is to launch protons as a weapon.

In terms of mass, the nucleus of a substance is composed of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons. The mass of each proton and neutron is about 2000 times that of electrons, and for most elements, their overall mass is roughly the same. . So half of the mass of almost all matter is protons (except for hydrogen, which is composed of one proton and one electron).

In general, the positive charge carried by the proton in the nucleus of a substance and the negative charge carried by the electron will form a stable balance.

And if any party is stripped out, this balance will be quickly broken!

One gram of protons, if they do not carry electrons to make their net charge zero, will produce an electric field strong enough to strip the electrons from their host atoms and ionize the air 15 kilometers away. Such a huge and strong magnetic field can make lightning pass through granite within 10 kilometers!

The material that has been stripped of electrons will also be damaged as a result. Humans currently do not have materials that can withstand such damage.

The problem that troubles Du Xingyu is that if so many protons are obtained and stored in space torpedoes, it will become a very destructive electric field weapon!



“Put 10 million energy points and start the proton shrapnel simulation.” Du Xingyu established the proton shrapnel simulation on the science and technology simulator.

He needs to build a device to get enough protons and ensure that these protons will be released after the space torpedo touches the target.

“The proton stripping succeeded… the polymerization simulation started… the polymerization failed.” In the simulator, the positive charge generated by the protons directly stripped the electrons of the storage device, causing the storage device to be damaged.

Du Xingyu adjusted his thoughts: “Maybe I should first confine the proton warhead with a magnetic field. When the explosion occurs, the scattered protons will be ejected, which is good for transportation and can also create a larger damage area.”

He restarted the simulation, which was a race against time.

Du Xingyu did not sleep for three days and three nights, and invested hundreds of millions of energy points. Sometimes when he can’t solve it by himself, he can also get some useful information through the “brainstorming” function of the technology simulator.

In his mind, a star destroyer was floating in space, and a simulated proton torpedo was launched at the star destroyer, hitting its hull.

The first is a violent explosion. The defensive power of the Star Destroyer itself can withstand most of the power of the explosion.

However, the proton shrapnel thrown in the torpedo was not stopped by the solid hull material. They quickly stripped the electrons of the hull material to achieve their own charge balance.

This process formed a super electric field with extremely strong penetrating power, which instantly penetrated the hull. Not only that, because the original hull materials were deprived of electronics, a chain reaction was formed, causing greater destructive power, and the Star Destroyer was blasted out of a big hole!

Technology Simulator: “The proton torpedo simulation is successful!”

“Nice!” Du Xingyu’s nerves can finally relax, the proton torpedo can be developed, and it will not be helpless when dealing with the Star Destroyer!

And he discovered that the ideal location for proton torpedo attacks is not the ship’s hull, but the fusion reactor of the enemy warship!

Think about it, the released protons rushed into the reactor. It may have a very small mass and cause no damage to the reaction device macroscopically. But from a microscopic point of view, the destruction caused by protons will cause a chain reaction of nuclear fusion until the entire reactor is destroyed!

Du Xingyu immediately let people start making proton torpedoes, because they were just developed high-tech space weapons. Proton torpedoes cannot be mass-produced, they can only get a small amount of proton torpedoes in the research and development laboratory.

Three days later, these proton torpedoes were sent to the Dragon Ball.

This Star Destroyer will participate in the Battle of Pluto and is the main strike force.

And Du Xingyu boarded a special space cruiser, Longshou.

This is the third-generation planetary space cruiser. It is a kilometer in length and has a shuttle-like shape. Its reconnaissance range and acceleration speed are faster than equivalent warships.

Du Xingyu will take the Dragon Head to the Uranus Line of Defense, which is the rear of the battlefield.

Mars is too far from Pluto, and the transmission of information takes more than five hours. Once the battlefield changes, or some unexpected technological weapons appear, if the command receives the news after five hours, the fleet may have already been destroyed!

That’s why he has to go to the Uranus line of defense so that he can receive information and commands faster. The specially made Dragon Head can also ensure his safety.

The secret operation to attack Pluto is underway.

The giant whale mothership of the marine civilization has arrived at Neptune and began to collect energy. More marine civilization warships are also flying towards Neptune.

The human Longwei fleet slowed down and slowly approached Neptune. At present, a large number of laser satellites and unmanned space fighters have collided with each other.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The Longwei fleet began to suffer damage, but they didn’t mean to shrink at all, as if they had decided to stop the Neptune mining plan of the marine civilization.

In the outer space of Pluto, the Star Destroyer Whale Shark and seventy marine civilization space battleships are moored here, guarding this rear “military warehouse”.

“Your Majesty has arrived at Neptune.” On the Whale Shark, the deputy commander of the Marine Fleet and the Whale Shark Captain Golden Claw were discussing with his subordinates.

“Are there any changes in the human Longwei fleet?” he asked.

“They are still moving towards Neptune, but the whole is beginning to slow down. There is no sign of attacking us.” The subordinate replied, “The fleet near Earth and Mars is still cruising normally, and there is no major change.”

“Huh?” Golden Claw was a little puzzled, “Obviously, they are looking for death when they collide with the giant whale mothership…Do they want to play the previous harassment tactics again?”

“Captain, maybe humans think that this can bring us losses.” The subordinates said, “In fact, they are just struggling to death!”

“In any case, strengthen the detection of the human fleet…” Golden Claw said, “I have read a lot of human books recently. This is a very cunning civilization. They must have other purposes!”

“Report to the captain, we are only one day away from Pluto!” On the Dragon Ball, the deputy captain reported to Zhu Zhenxing, “We have entered the enemy’s reconnaissance range!”

Zhu Zhenxing’s eyes gradually became fierce, and he said: “Order all warships to start at the fastest speed. This time it is a raid! Any facilities of the enemy will be destroyed!”

“From now on, within 40 hours, we will resolve the battle!”

The enemy will find them soon and return to aid, but it will take time to return to aid!

Although the warships of the maritime civilization can reach the speed of light of 5 percent at the fastest, it does not mean that the warships will have such high speeds immediately after they are activated.

It needs a long acceleration process, and the current distance between Neptune and Pluto is 2.3 billion kilometers. This distance is not enough for the opponent to accelerate to one percent of the speed of light!

According to their calculations, the enemy needs at least 55 hours to return to Pluto, so this battle must be lightning fast!

Two hours later, Whale Shark.

“Captain! A human warship was found within the reconnaissance range!” The subordinate immediately sent a message to the captain’s room.

“What? Human battleship, where is it?” Jin Tong was alarmed and asked quickly, “Longwei battleship shouldn’t turn around!”

“It’s not the Longwei fleet, but other human ships. It looks like a hundred ships, and they are heading towards Pluto, and they are expected to arrive in twenty hours!”

“Sure enough, they are cunning humans!” Golden Claw said angrily. “They pretended to attack Neptune, but they are actually going to sneak attack on our Pluto base!”

“But only a hundred warships thought they could succeed in a sneak attack? It’s too naive!”

“According to my order, all nearby spaceships and warships immediately enter a state of war. The military defense devices on Pluto are fully activated…”

The golden tongs made adjustments quickly, and at the same time it also passed the news to the giant whale mothership.

“Very well, this is what humans call a slamming?” Lemog’s beard was squirming frantically, which showed that he was in a bad mood now.

“I immediately transferred fifty battleships back to defense. You defend the Pluto base. Let’s double-team before and after, so that they will come back and forth!”

“Yes!”

“Command Du, we are about to reach the battlefield. It seems that the enemy not only does not want to defend, but also intends to take the initiative!” Zhu Zhenxing was communicating with Du Xingyu. Although there was still a delay, it was much better than being on Mars.

“Then kill it all the way!” Du Xingyu ordered, “I remind you that one hundred asteroid impactors are pushing one hundred large meteorites into Pluto. It is expected to arrive in eight hours.”

“In these eight hours, you will not only destroy each other’s main force, but also destroy the main defense facilities on Pluto. There is only one chance, understand?”

“understand!”

In the vacuum area outside Pluto, the human fleet finally meets the marine civilization fleet!

“Now we have the advantage in numbers. We will launch drones and laser satellites first, and the cruise ships and battleships behind will give me full firepower. Pay attention to the formation and don’t be too close!” Zhu Zhenxing ordered.

“Fire!”

In the starry sky, more than one hundred space warships have begun to attack each other, and densely packed space drones and laser satellites are released from the warships on both sides.

And each battleship has locked its own target, laser, space torpedo and electromagnetic gun crazy output.

In the first second of the battle, the battleship was destroyed, bursting with a dazzling and short-lived brilliance in the dark space, illuminating the battlefield.

“This is Fengyu 5. Our ship has destroyed the target cruise ship and is ready to go to the R-69 area to assist Fengyu 2 in its attack.”

“The report said that Kunpeng-37 was damaged by laser, the battleship has been severely damaged, and our ship has lost its combat effectiveness.”

“Kunpeng-37, abandon the ship immediately!”

“Kunpeng-37 received!”

“Target Sailfish 23 battleship, request fire support!”

“There is a gap in area 9, Fengyan No. 4 is going to plug it!”

“The enemy warships in area 13 have been emptied, request instructions!”

“Go to area 15, siege the Whale Shark!”

In the battlefield, a huge amount of information is generated every moment. With the assistance of artificial intelligence, the captains coordinate with each other to fight.

Participating in the space battle for the first time, some warships paid a heavy price, but the overall situation is leaning towards the human side. After all, they have more warships. They are elite troops in the two fleets or raid operations, so they have an advantage.
