From Cannon Fodder to Sweeping Across Thousands of Stars

Chapter 611 Spectrum Destroyer

Time seems to have been accelerated inadvertently. Ever since the Atlas Group completed the first wave of real industry acquisitions and the Renaissance Alliance, under the operation of Franklin, began to secretly hook up with the Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, the situation in the entire universe suddenly changed. changed.

If Amber hadn't known that there was no connection between these events, Amber would have suspected that there was a chain reaction.

First of all, what came from Elenita is about the issue from the Thousand Stars Empire.

In the corner where no one cares, the conflict between the 'conservatives' and the 'equalists' within the elves has become more and more serious, and recently it has directly escalated to a bloody conflict.

On a relatively remote planet, the two sides even had psychic warriors fighting with weapons on the street. This resulted in the planet not having officially dispatched regular elven troops for hundreds of years, and they had to show up to prevent the escalation of the conflict between the two sides. .

According to Ellenita, the Phoenix King had interviewed the main faction leaders of the 'Conservatives' and 'Legalists' two days ago and asked them to restrain the radical elements within their factions and not make the situation more serious. .

It is reported that the reason for the escalation of this conflict may really be attributed to Atlas Group or Amber.

"Ah? Why did you, the Phoenix King, just dump the blame on me?"

After hearing Ellenita's description, Amber on the other end of the video communication just felt like a pot came from the sky.

"No, the issue of Roma people within your Thousand Stars Empire has been like this for so many years. Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open. It's very difficult for us at Atlas Group now!

I'd like to trouble the Phoenix King to find his own reasons. After so many years of lying down every day, has the social status of the Roma improved? Is there any serious work on interracial integration? "

Hearing Amber's complaint, Ellenita laughed out loud, because she suddenly discovered that compared to the Phoenix King, Amber was the real 'non-stick pan'.

"I am the only one who can listen to this. If you tell other elves once, it may be spread to the Elf King's Court tomorrow~"

"Harm is what it is~" Amber waved her hand wordlessly, "The internal affairs of the Thousand Stars Empire finally boiled down to a human being opening a private company?"

"Actually, from a certain perspective Amber, this does have something to do with you."

"How do you say this?"

"Amber, are you pretending not to know in front of me?" Ellenita raised her eyebrows and said angrily.

"."

Of course Amber knows, and he also knows very well that the current situation of the Thousand Stars Empire is indeed related to the Atlas Group in hundreds of millions of ways.

With the expansion of the Atlas Group, more and more Roma people began to join the group.

Not all of them are going to combat units, but a large number of them are actually working as skilled workers, pioneers, office bodyguards, etc.

There are even a group of female Roma who are more flexible in thinking and have joined the financial business center and the group public relations department.

Those cat ladies, rabbit ladies, and fox ladies can be said to have natural advantages when engaging in this field of work.

Therefore, at this time, the number of Roma within the Atlas Group and its subsidiaries, including the combat troops, which account for the majority of the population, has already exceeded 300,000, and will continue to grow at a certain rate in a short period of time.

You must know that due to the existence of Lilith, the number of administrative positions and clerks within Atlas Group has been reduced by more than 50% compared to other traditional enterprises, so this number is composed of real people working hard.

Some time ago, after the large-scale war came to an end, Amber also asked the Roma who had joined the Atlas Group early to take long vacations in batches.

Most of these Roma people who had a tradition of returning home chose to return to the Thousand Star Empire and the settlements of their tribes.

When these Roma people, with a completely new outlook on life and more or less modifications on their bodies, with gleaming claws and horns, returned to their settlements,

“A ‘trend’ of thought began to emerge among the Roma people.”

Ellenita paused, looking at Amber through the virtual screen, and then continued:

“A ‘trend’ of thought that liberates the minds of the species.”

In the description of this female elf, due to the descriptions of those who returned home, more and more Roma people began to think that ‘the world is so big and they should go and see it’.

At the same time, they also realized that their ethnic group was actually a very capable and excellent ethnic group, rather than a group that could only work for the elves as servants, waiters, escorts, and other service industries.

According to the information Elenita received from the Thousand Planet Empire's supervision department of the Roma through her own connections, more and more Roma people believe that they should receive 'equal rights'.

"There are even some Roma people who think that we elves are deliberately oppressing their status," Ellenita said.

"Then are you elves deliberately oppressing?"

Amber suddenly spoke and asked in a serious and serious tone.

Ellenita obviously hasn't figured out the answer to this question yet. You said that the elves enslaved the Roma? Actually it doesn’t count.

So after a while, she shook her head hesitantly.

"Amber, I don't know either."

"If you don't even know, then I don't know what to say~"

Amber shrugged and continued:

"I only know that my employment of Roma people should not have violated the laws of the Thousand Stars Empire, so in theory, neither I, you, nor the Atlas Group need to bear any responsibility, even if I meet Phoenix Wang and I also use the same rhetoric."

"Then you have to be well prepared~" Ellenita suddenly smiled, "I guess after the domestic issues are dealt with in a while, the Phoenix King may really want to talk to you in person."

"Tsk!"

Amber helplessly covered her forehead with her hands, and her whole body collapsed instantly as if she was deflated.

"How come these things are all put together? God, do you want to kill me?"

"All together?" Ellenita was stunned and asked, "Did anything else happen?"

"Hmm, isn't it just the Star Dragon Empire's '8 o'clock palace struggle' thing~"

"Oh~"

Ellenita, who was still a little serious at first, suddenly lit up after hearing Amber's words.

"It seems there is another 'news' that I don't know about?"

The power struggle in the Star Dragon Empire has no real impact on the Yuge family, because no matter who comes to power, the elves will still do business with them.

Therefore, Ellenita has always had a "take it easy" mentality to understand the current situation of the Star Dragon Empire.

Amber didn't hide anything, and quickly synchronized the relevant information with Ellenita.

Just the day before Amber and Ellenita's video conference, it was suddenly reported from the Star Dragon Empire that the Agnes' coronation ceremony, originally scheduled to be held three months later, would be postponed for a while. .

"The specific reason is not yet known, but rumors say that the main reason is that the old emperor Frederico seems to have recovered, and there is still a 'risk' of recovery, so he may plan to wear the crown for Agnes himself."

"The 'risk' of recovery. Hahahaha, Amber, you are really talkative"

"Sweet~" Amber replied seriously.

In addition to the movements on the imperial royal family's side, the Regent Norton II was not idle either.

The regent, whose temperament has changed drastically since some time ago, can also be said to have achieved "remarkable results" during this period.

Under his instruction, the entire 'Regent Party' carried out a brutal and bloody purge, and wiped out a large amount of 'poisonous blood'.

Among them, the veteran nobles of the empire within the 'Regent Party' suffered the heaviest losses, and almost all of them were wiped out.

The 'Cape Club' that Amber had been bragging about for a long time, under the iron-blooded purge of Norton II, did not even make any decent counterattack, and became history.

What would be better would be to change to someone who is close to Norton II, or even someone who is the family gossip who obeys his words.

If anything, the entire family was almost wiped out, and the remaining wealth and industry were quickly divided up by others.

"It sounds like he is tightening his fists."

Ellenita frowned in thought and continued:

"It seems that the strength within the camp has been lost a lot, but in fact it has made the internal forces more 'pure' and put all the power in their own hands."

Amber also nodded: "You are right. All signs indicate that Norton II is already preparing for the final showdown. Internal purges are only one aspect. It is actually more obvious in the assembly and mobilization of fleets and combat troops. ”

"Don't the imperial family know about it? Or are they just watching?"

"Of course they know, and"

"drop----"

Before Amber could finish his words, he was interrupted by the beep from his personal terminal. After looking down, he stood up immediately and said to Ellenita apologetically:

"Ellenita, it's time for me. The battleship is about to enter combat mode. It seems we can only talk about it next time~"

——

By the time Amber came to the bridge of the brand new battleship at her feet, the entire ship had just completed switching to combat status.

"Boss!"

When Guterres saw Amber at the captain's seat, he immediately stood up and saluted him.

"How is the situation now?"

Guterres: "We have entered the scheduled combat position. The Renaissance Alliance's fleet is currently in the space 300,000 kilometers away, and is confronting the Shasta Galaxy garrison fleet. It should now be called the 'Independence Fleet'.

Three minutes ago, the Renaissance Alliance fleet sent an encrypted message stating that they were ready for battle and were just waiting for our 'signal'."

"Then let's get started. The rest is up to you, General Guterres."

"Yes, Boss!"

The battleship Amber and the others are currently on is a new ship of the Atlas Group that is still undergoing actual combat testing, the Star Glory-class battlecruiser.

The biggest difference between this type of battlecruiser and all previous human battleships is that the main gun of the battleship was replaced from a heavy particle cannon to a high-energy laser main gun system - the internal code name, Spectral Destroyer.

This high-energy laser cannon, finalized as 'SAHELC-MkII', is composed of 2436 tiny but highly synchronized laser emission units. It also has a 7-level gain medium that can gradually amplify the initial laser signal to the final output stage.

At the same time, it also uses the holographic focusing lens developed by Saleh and derived from Forerunner technology-this is a complex system that combines physical and non-physical properties.

On the physical components are conventional optical frames and support structures as well as high-precision mirrors.

But in terms of non-physical components, it is definitely the pioneer black technology.

The most complex and the one that makes Amber "puzzled" is the so-called "holographic projection field" technology.

This technology uses a strong electromagnetic field or quantum interference effect to create a virtual lens structure in a specific space. This structure can change its shape in real time as needed to achieve the most ideal focusing effect.

By adjusting the electromagnetic field parameters or quantum state, the focal length, curvature and other properties of the holographic lens can be dynamically adjusted to optimize the propagation path and energy distribution of the laser beam.

Of course, the most outrageous thing is that since the holographic lens is not made of physical matter, it is theoretically possible to operate the laser beam without introducing additional scattering or absorption.

That is to achieve the "lossless characteristics" that only exist in theory.

In the Spectrum Destroyer high-energy laser cannon, the laser output by 2436 tiny emission units first undergoes a series of physical reflectors and lenses for preliminary focusing, and then enters the final focusing area formed by the holographic projection field.

Here, the holographic lens automatically adjusts according to the distance, material and current environmental conditions of the target to ensure that the laser beam can remain focused and smooth at a distance of 1 light second.

Finally, the warship can complete the irradiation of the target at a distance of 1 light second.

This is also the most exciting part for Guterres, Randall and others. For other human warships at present, they can't even fight back when encountering the Starlight-class battlecruisers at this distance.

As Guterres excitedly issued the order to "prepare for attack", the three Starlight-class battlecruisers (experimental version) suddenly "came alive".

The QFR-X100 quantum fusion reactor inside the hull, the high-temperature plasma at the core is tightly bound by a powerful magnetic confinement field, like a tamed violent energy beast, the orange-red light faintly penetrates through the special protective layer, illuminating the criss-crossing pipelines around.

The liquid helium cooling system on the side continuously delivers low-temperature coolant, and a layer of white frost condenses on the surface of the fine pipeline to ensure that the reactor temperature is always maintained within the safety red line.

The matching SES-5000 superconducting energy storage array has neatly arranged superconductor coils. The blue electric light quickly travels along the coils, making a sizzling sound, quickly absorbing and storing the surging electric energy, preparing enough ammunition for the upcoming war.

Guterres, sitting in the captain's seat, stared at the screen with deep eyes. After all the data entered the standard value, he opened his lips slightly, and his voice was steady and firm, which spread through the communication channel to the three warships: "All ships, lock the target synchronously and prepare to launch."

Almost at the same time, the other two captains gave orders in tacit understanding:

"Quantum fusion reactor to full power, preheat the spectrum destroyer high-energy laser cannon."

In an instant, the energy readings in the reactor soared wildly, the powerful magnetic confinement field shone brightly, the originally orange-red plasma became more and more hot and violent, and the superconducting battery stack also entered a state of rapid charging.

"The gravitational wave sensor has locked onto the target, and the intelligent prediction algorithm has completed the calculation."

The gunnery officer stood up suddenly, his eyes full of confidence, and reported loudly, "The expected hit rate is 99.7%."

"Start the countdown, five... four... three... two... one... fire!" Guterres's command was loud and clear.

In an instant, the front of the three experimental ships burst into light, so dazzling that it almost blinded people.

The laser beam emitted by the 'Spectrum Destroyer' is not ordinary visible light. The deep blue-purple light is like a light bridge leading to a mysterious world.

Under the action of high energy density, the working wavelength of the laser falls into the transition zone from near-infrared to ultraviolet. What the naked eye sees is actually the magnificent brilliance that bursts out when it excites plasma.

Each laser beam is composed of thousands of tiny but precisely synchronized laser emission units working together to form a surging energy torrent, crossing the vast universe of nearly 300,000 kilometers in the blink of an eye.

The holographic focusing lens and the nano-mirror work together to continuously compress and shape the energy flow, and finally focus it into a thin ray of light with devastating power. It carries the cutting edge of human technology, pierces the vacuum at the speed of light, and rushes towards the target warship.
