Chapter 827 [Space Shield]
The moment the voice fell, a deep dark spherical barrier suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
It was the ultimate darkness, and neither the light from the outside nor the light from the inside could penetrate this barrier.
Lv Yongchang narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the various rapidly jumping data on the left side of the screen.
The instantaneous power of the device was very high, but the maintenance time was less than 0.1 second.
Simply put, the space shield generation experiment had actually ended long ago, and what was currently in front of the academicians was just the debris of the shield that was slowly being eroded by the surrounding space.
One second, two seconds...
As time passed, the smooth and dark spherical barrier gradually showed some changes on its surface - the self-healing effect of space had begun to show its effect.
At first, these holes were still very small, like a little dust on a coal ball, and were not conspicuous.
But as time went on, these dust-like holes gradually expanded and merged into larger holes.
The speed of the hole expansion was getting faster and faster, and soon, it eroded most of the dark spherical barrier.
The internal space shield generation device was once again exposed to the eyes of the academicians.
When the entire spherical barrier completely dissipated, the first step of the experiment was considered to have come to a successful conclusion.
The successful generation of the space shield does not mean the end of the entire experiment.
After a few minutes of data processing, the space shield generation device in the holographic projection began to operate again.
At the same time, the space crack generation device in the distance also began to operate synchronously.
This time, what needs to be tested is the defense capability of the space shield against space attacks.
At the moment when the deep spherical barrier appeared, a thin line of the same deep darkness came from a distance.
Considering various observation problems, the emission speed of the space crack was deliberately lowered a lot, even less than 0.1c.
But even so, this speed cannot be captured by the naked eye.
Under the playback lens of the ultra-high-speed camera, the deep dark thin line suddenly passed and "hit" the black spherical barrier.
No ripples were stirred.
As if being swallowed, the thin space crack disappeared directly into the barrier.
Perfectly resisting the first space crack!
The experiment was not declared over.
Lv Yongchang continued to issue the second order in an orderly manner.
"Switch the firing mode to the continuous firing mode."
"Increase the operating power of the space crack generating device gradually."
The violent test of the space shield's defensive performance officially began!
The moment the voice fell, the majestic energy flowed along the energy path to the space crack generating device and the space shield generating device respectively.
Thin black lines appeared in the experimental area one after another, turning the originally peaceful time and space upside down!
As Lv Yongchang ordered, as the operating power of the space crack generating device increased, the "depth" of the generated space crack also began to gradually increase.
The most intuitive phenomenon is that the width of these black lines has increased visibly!
10% rated power, 20% rated power, 50% rated power...
The increasingly thick "black lines" continuously bombarded the deep spherical barrier, like a stream flowing into the sea, without even a single wave.
But Lv Yongchang's originally relaxed brows began to gradually wrinkle.
Unlike the picture observed by the naked eye, it can be clearly seen from the rapidly flashing data on the side that as the intensity of the space cracks continued to increase, the power of the space shield generator also climbed at an exaggerated speed.
As time went on, the output power on both sides reached the highest designed value.
Even Lv Yongchang, who was quite confident about the experimental results, couldn't help sweating when he saw the thick black lines whizzing through the experimental area.
One, two, three!
In just a moment, three space cracks with the highest power fiercely slashed on the deep barrier!
Hold on!
Looking at the space shield generator that was still operating normally, Lv Yongchang's eyes flashed with a hint of joy.
Five! Ten!
The intensity of the test rose to a new level again - several spare space crack generation devices also joined the "battlefield"!
A full ten space cracks were struck on this smooth barrier in succession!
Bang!
"Ding! Ding! Ding!!!"
Accompanied by the piercing alarm sound, the flames of the explosion flashed in the holographic projection.
Under the extreme test, the shield generation device successfully overloaded.
But it still perfectly completed the predetermined goal - to resist the attack of more than ten space cracks!
Of course, although the shield generation device has been overloaded and scrapped, the generated space shield did not dissipate immediately - the self-repair of space takes a certain amount of time.
In this process, the space shield actually still has a certain degree of protection.
...
After several tests, the first trial run of the space shield was finally successfully completed.
The test data were also clearly presented to all academicians.
The experiment was very successful, and the actual defense capability of the space shield even exceeded the theoretical value - the researchers did not calculate the "wreckage" after the space shield was broken.
It has to be said that the more difficult the technology, the higher the returns it will bring.
The emergence of [Space Shield] almost eliminated the original shield system - theoretically, it can not only resist space attacks, but also resist attacks from conventional weapons.
The test results also show this.
Whether it is energy weapons such as laser weapons or kinetic weapons such as electromagnetic guns, it has a good defensive effect.
But its own characteristics are destined to prevent it from completely replacing traditional shields.
First, the self-repair effect of space.
Like space rifts, space shields will slowly disappear after they are generated.
Of course, continuously applying a grand unified field to it can maintain its existence for a long time, but... this is when we have to mention its second characteristic.
The two-way interception characteristic of the space shield.
It is actually very easy to understand.
As a disguised space rift, you cannot require it to have the ability to identify friend or foe - it can not only block external attacks, but also attacks from starships.
It is like a hard turtle shell, which cannot enter or exit.
Captain, I guess you don't want to be a living target that can only be beaten on the battlefield, right?
Therefore, the [Space Shield] is designed to be an instantaneous trigger shield.
When the detection device detects that the starship is about to be hit by a space attack or a large-scale conventional weapon, a [Space Shield] will instantly form in the hit area of the ship.
After completing any defense, the [Space Shield] will gradually disappear under the self-repair effect of the surrounding space.
During this period, it can even play a lot of residual heat to protect the warship from a lot of subsequent damage.
It can be said that he has devoted himself to his work until his death.
