"Shield technology still needs improvement!"
Upon hearing Lü Yongchang's words, Tao Yuda and Cao Liangcai exchanged a helpless glance.
"Professor, I think this is an acceptable problem."
After considering it for a moment, Tao Yuda said again, "At the current stage, the plasma shield has extremely high defensive capabilities. As you said, it is a last resort for survival."
“Yes, Professor,” Cao Liangcai also chimed in, “If it really comes down to activating the plasma shield to save our lives, whether we can fight back or not is not really important.”
Despite the combined persuasion of Tao Yuda and Cao Liangcai, Lü Yongchang still shook his head firmly.
"no!"
"Plasma shields are indeed a life-saving measure."
"But think about it."
"Imagine you are participating in an interstellar war, facing an attack by numerous enemy ships, and you activate the plasma shield at the last moment."
"But you have no means of retaliating."
"We could only watch helplessly as the shield generation units overloaded and were destroyed one by one under the enemy's intense artillery fire."
"How do you feel when you encounter this situation?"
Tao Yuda and Cao Liangcai's expressions changed slightly.
They looked at each other again, and both saw the guilt in each other's eyes.
"Remember this." Seemingly noticing the change in the expressions on their faces, Lü Yongchang softened his tone.
"This is a technology used in interstellar warfare."
"Even if it only increases the survival rate by 0.01%, we should do our best to improve it."
...
“But, Professor, our current weapons cannot penetrate this plasma shield.” Cao Liangcai shrugged helplessly. “Unless we imitate the Lator flagship’s approach.”
"The flagship of the Latour civilization?" Lu Yongchang frowned.
Memories gradually flooded my mind.
During the confrontation with the flagship of the Latour civilization, the magical gravitational membrane briefly cracked open.
Only through this gap can the flagship, encased in a gravity shield, launch attacks against the outside world.
He suddenly realized and said, "You mean, control the plasma shield to temporarily shut down in a specific area?"
Cao Liangcai nodded quickly and said, "Yes, this technology is not difficult to implement."
"Precision magnetic shields are achieved by controlling one or more magnetic field shield generation units."
"However... there is a drawback to this."
Lu Yongchang's face darkened, and he replied, "It will affect the overall defensive capability of the plasma shield."
"Unlike gravity shields, flowing plasma is not easy to control."
"Adjusting the magnetic field shield generation unit hastily could even cause the plasma shield to become unstable."
"Even if we overcome the above difficulties, plasma flow takes time, which will greatly increase the shutdown and recovery time of the plasma shield."
Cao Liangcai shook his head repeatedly with a bitter face: "To sacrifice a lot of defensive capabilities for a little bit of offensive power is a losing proposition."
He hadn't expected that Lü Yongchang would be able to find so many flaws in such a short time.
However, that's normal. One is a gravity shield, and the other is a plasma shield, so they can't be compared.
He sighed softly, "This is troublesome."
Lu Yongchang didn't speak, but just frowned as he looked at the Golden Crow battleship covered in light blue shields in the holographic image.
"Why not start with weapons?"
Tao Yuda's voice came from the side.
"Weapons?" Cao Liangcai retorted instinctively, "Are you kidding me? What weapon could pass through this plasma layer unscathed?"
“Of course, it’s a weapon with a magnetic field shield,” Tao Yuda replied without hesitation.
"A weapon with a magnetic field shield? Are you kidding me..." As he spoke, Cao Liangcai's voice gradually softened.
Lu Yongchang frowned and fell into deep thought: "You mean, add a miniaturized magnetic field shield generation unit to the electromagnetic railgun projectile?"
“Yes,” Tao Yuda replied in a short, forceful voice.
“Theoretically speaking…” Lü Yongchang’s eyes grew brighter and brighter, “It’s feasible!”
Both he and Cao Liangcai fell into a blind spot in their thinking!
Why must plasma shields give way to weapons?!
As long as the weapons can pass through the plasma shield, isn't that enough?!
Suddenly, Lü Yongchang froze, standing there blankly.
He seems to have discovered a flaw in the magnetic shield and plasma shield!
No, to be precise, it's a flaw in the magnetic field shield mastered by the Lator civilization!
The strong magnetic field generated by the shield generation unit of the Lator civilization remains almost unchanged; all magnetic fields run in the same direction.
During the development process, the [Golden Crow] battleship, which drew extensive references to the Lator battleship, naturally inherited this characteristic.
Therefore, the enemy only needs to conduct a few probing attacks to figure out the direction of the magnetic field shield's operation, and then they can manufacture corresponding weapons to strike the human fleet!
"professor?"
What's wrong?
Tao Yuda noticed the change in Lü Yongchang's expression and hurriedly asked, "Is there any flaw in this plan?"
“No, it’s not a problem with the plan.” Thinking of the possible scenarios on the future battlefield, Lü Yongchang’s face turned pale, and he shook his head repeatedly, saying, “The plan is excellent, there are no problems at all.”
“Then…” Tao Yuda’s eyes showed even more doubt.
"The problem lies with the magnetic field shield and the plasma shield!" Lü Yongchang exclaimed dramatically. "They have major design flaws!"
Upon hearing this, the laboratory, which had been filled with slight murmurs of discussion, instantly fell into complete silence.
All eyes turned to Lü Yongchang, who was standing in front of the lab table.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Lü Yongchang composed himself and briefly explained his thoughts.
Those present were all elites from the Academy of Sciences, so they naturally quickly understood Lü Yongchang's words.
The next moment.
The faces of all the researchers changed.
If the situation described by Lü Yongchang were to occur on the battlefield, the human fleet would face a true catastrophe!
"Then why would the Lator civilization still use such a flawed shield technology?"
A researcher asked the question that had puzzled everyone.
Lu Yongchang's eye twitched, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "This problem..."
"You might want to take a look at the history of the Latour civilization."
"Most of their wars are against lower-level civilizations, such as level two or level one civilizations."
"What experience do these civilizations have in dealing with magnetic field shields?"
"As for the limited combat experience of the few Level 3 and Level 4 civilizations, it is basically based on the premise that the enemy has suffered heavy losses."
"Moreover, the Lator civilization has almost no research and development capabilities of its own, so it is inevitable that such a major problem will occur."
