This high-energy laser beam is just the beginning of Proxima Centauri's counterattack.
It gave humans no time to react.
Near the equator of Proxima Centauri b, four beams of light appeared!
The laser beam flashed continuously.
Each flash signifies the crash of a [Golden Crow] battleship.
In just a few seconds, the 20 Golden Crow battleships transformed into 20 brilliant flames in the deep universe.
...
In the Earth-class spacecraft.
Lu Yongchang's face was extremely pale!
Damn it...
He guessed that the Proxima Centauri civilization had a trump card up its sleeve!
Thinking of the crew members who had sacrificed their lives, he closed his eyes in pain and took a deep breath.
As the fleet commander, this was a psychological test he had to undergo.
'Clear the battlefield and pause attacks on Proxima Cuboid b.'
'All [Golden Crow] battleships, stand by at a distance of 40,000 kilometers from Proxima Centauri b!'
Lü Yongchang immediately issued an order to halt the attack.
As for Zhao Zijie, who was in the other deep-sea compartment, his face was deathly pale.
As he mourned the fallen crew members, he also felt a chill run down his spine.
It's hard to imagine what the consequences would have been if Professor Lü had accepted his suggestion!
...
Lu Yongchang replayed the scenes from the battlefield over and over again.
Is this really a laser weapon?
How could it have such power?!
Even he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart!
What data can be analyzed from zero?
Lines of complex data appeared in the holographic projection.
[Professor, according to our estimates, to inflict such a massive damage on the Golden Crow battleship, this laser weapon would need to be at least ten times more powerful than ours.]
Considering that it originates from the planet's atmosphere, its actual power is probably far greater than we imagine.
Ling responded to Lü Yongchang's questions meticulously.
incredible……
Lü Yongchang sighed silently to himself.
Humans have conducted considerable research on laser weapons.
For current human fleets, the main factor affecting the power of laser weapons is actually heat dissipation.
As the power of laser weapons increases, heat dissipation has become a difficult problem to overcome.
Especially in space.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Lü Yongchang deduced the reason for the powerful laser weapon.
After its host star, Proxima Centauri, was struck, its internal energy was continuously stolen, and the heat radiating from its surface decreased accordingly.
The surface temperature of Proxima Centauri b also began to decrease continuously.
The dense atmosphere at sub-zero temperatures is practically the perfect heat dissipation medium.
Land-based laser weapons deployed on the ground have an advantage that shipborne and orbital laser weapons cannot match – they do not have to worry about power supply issues.
By a twist of fate, the Proxima Centauri civilization acquired a powerful weapon capable of threatening humanity's flagship in a short period of time!
...
Proxima Centauri b, Central Academy of Sciences.
As Augustus watched the solar system fleet halt its offensive, his expression gradually became smug.
"Now, my plan is completely complete!"
As he spoke, he opened his breathing hole and forcefully exhaled a breath of hot air to express his excitement and joy.
Naltes, standing to the side, had a face full of confusion.
But he couldn't disobey Chief Lyle's words, so he could only ask in a respectful tone, "Lord Augustus, what do you mean by that..."
Augustus glanced at Nartes.
Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Augustus did not blame him, but patiently explained.
"With 12 land-based laser cannons, plus a planetary defense network, the solar system fleet would never dare to enter our firing range."
"As a result, this war will be indefinitely delayed."
"The longer it drags on, the greater our advantage will be."
"They are, after all, a nomadic civilization. The day their resources run out will be the day we reap the rewards of victory!"
"At that time, I will extend a negotiation invitation to them, asking them to provide us with a sufficient number of starships for our escape!"
"I believe they will not reject this win-win outcome."
...
One week later.
"What were the test results?"
Inside the Earth Command Center, Lü Yongchang asked with a solemn expression.
In order to test the power of the Proxima Centauri civilization's land-based laser weapon, Lü Yongchang ordered that some of the depleted resource reserves of the [Taotie] starship be sent out as bait.
Of course, in order to confuse the enemy, they made some "beautifications" to the [Taotie].
At least in appearance, it should be similar to the [Golden Crow] battleship.
Zero also played a unique role.
In just a few days, it successfully modified more than ten [Taotie] starships.
The Proxima Centauri civilization could never have imagined that a simple starship conversion factory would appear out of thin air in just a few days in the vast universe, more than 100,000 kilometers away from their own planet!
“Professor,” Zero’s voice rang out, “According to the test results, the Proxima Centauri civilization has a total of 12 land-based laser cannons, all located near the equator of Proxima Centauri b.”
"The results of the tests on the effective range and power of the laser cannon have also been obtained."
A series of densely packed data appeared on the holographic projection directly in front of the command center.
After calculating in his mind, Lü Yongchang frowned slightly.
"The power of this laser weapon... as it stands, only our flagship can withstand it for a short time."
