337 Natural Disaster Upgrade, Xuanwu Shield(1/2)
Without using the subspace, Lu Feng, Lao Bing Guan and Lin Yue Xi used the extraordinary physical strength of psykers to reach the ground in just 1 minute.
All the excavators outside have evacuated first, and Xuanwu No. 1 is parked in the open space in front of the mine and is on standby.
After a group of people boarded the ship, the spaceship rushed towards the Gate of Hell as fast as possible. At the last moment of the natural disaster, Lu Feng needed to rush back to his colony immediately. The space gate in his hand was the last line to deal with emergencies.
Assure.
Lu Feng, the old popsicle was very quiet and seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed. The little girl stared at him with a pair of beautiful almond eyes and watched over him the whole time.
Xuanwu-1 flew extremely fast, breaking the sound barrier in just a few seconds, and then became faster and faster.
Three minutes later, the hurriedly approaching spaceship approached the territorial waters of the Ashes Continent, which meant that the countdown to the natural disaster period had reached zero.
The oracle's prediction for this natural disaster is - Level 6 cosmic magnetic storm and its derivative disasters.
Although he has never experienced a cosmic magnetic storm of a higher level, Lu Feng is still somewhat confident in his heart and feels that the natural disaster is nothing more than this.
However, the next moment, he realized that he was a little too optimistic.
The source of the magnetic storm - Tianji 4's magnetic field suddenly mutated, and then a chain reaction of unprecedented intensity spread to Tianji in less than 1 minute.
Immediately, all signals in the sky and space were interrupted, and all sensors and transmitters failed.
Fortunately, all parties are already very experienced in dealing with this kind of global EMP impact.
Long before the natural disaster struck, everyone had collected their precious electronic equipment and packed them tightly. Those large equipment that could not be dismantled had also built thick protective shells during previous rounds of natural disasters.
Even though the emp intensity this time was higher, fortunately, there were no large-area components burned out that would make people bleed.
Of course,
If the newly arrived wandering forces failed to obtain information from the locals in advance and make preparations in advance, they would have no choice but to ask for their own blessings.
Lu Feng and his party also suffered a violent blow.
Even as powerful as Xuanwu-1, it is not immune. Although the flight control equipment still maintains operation tenaciously, the spacecraft itself is almost blind, and the last section of the journey can only rely on the pilot's visual flight.
Stumbling to the sky above the coast of the Ashes Continent, new changes have appeared.
In this natural disaster, it was not just the magnetic field that drastically changed, but also the planet’s gravity surged abnormally!
Although the increase is not large, it is enough to affect the celestial system that was originally stable.
The most intuitive manifestation is that there are hundreds of meteorites in the space junk and meteorite belts floating in orbit, which have quietly left their original orbital altitude and begun to fall rapidly towards the Sky Star.
at the same time,
The ocean tides, which are closely related to the changes in gravity, also changed drastically. Lu Feng saw with his own eyes a terrifying tsunami tens of meters high below the spacecraft, which was unstoppable and headed towards the Ashes Continent.
Looking at the outline of the seawater purification plant standing on the shore in the distance, Lu Feng regretfully knew that this empty facility was probably in danger.
yogi: What about me? Didn’t I remember that my colony is by the sea?!
Without waiting for the moment when his own factory was shattered by the tsunami, Xuanwu-1 finally landed on the special landing pad at the waist of the core fortress of Hell's Gate.
It is said to be half waist, but according to the height of the Great Pyramid Fortress of 1,800 meters, the altitude of this apron is already over 1,000 meters!
The spaceship parked in the hangar,
As the hangar gate slowly closed, the external environment was completely isolated from the outside environment where even though there were thick clouds blocking it, there was still radiation and lightning and thunder started.
Lu Feng took the two of them into this super fortress that was about to be completed.
The natural disaster has not yet caused an over-limit crisis, so Lu Feng still plans to take care of the old popsicle problem first.
However, the three of them had just walked halfway when they suddenly heard a series of slight vibrations under their feet.
You know,
This is a super fortress at the core of the wonders on the earth's surface. It is so stable that people staying inside can clearly feel the earthquake, which means that things have turned upside down outside.
"Jade Rabbit, what's going on?"
Lu Feng asked eagerly.
"Your Excellency, the Administrator, it has been detected that a large number of celestial bodies fell into the atmosphere. The first impact occurred on the periphery of the colony 3 seconds ago. The colony is currently slightly affected.
In addition, underground readings show signs of activity, and the probability of ash continental plate movement surges to 18.97%..."
"What? You told me that a meteorite fell on your head and you didn't realize it until then?"
"Yes, this magnetic storm is too violent. All our detection methods except optical observation have failed. Since the weather controller has been turned off, the sky above the colony has been blocked by dark clouds again..."
"Okay, okay, I get it!"
The meaning of Jade Rabbit is very clear. The gate to hell is now similar to high myopia. Although the natural protective clouds block most of the cosmic rays, they also hinder human beings from observing the sky above.
The result is just like now, the meteorite has already arrived before we react.
"Forget it, increase the power of the crustal stabilizer immediately, and never let the stabilized construction site explode again!"
As soon as Lu Feng finished speaking, his feet were shaken again, this time more violently. He could even see the tail of meteors and explosions flashing past outside the window with his peripheral vision.
"Report, the meteorite hit the KV-304 metal refining facility, there were no casualties."
Obviously, this meteor hit the Hell's Gate Courtyard without any bias, causing certain economic losses to the colony.
"Damn it, has the Xuanwu shield system been debugged?"
"The completion rate has reached 99.23%, which basically does not affect the use, but there is a high probability of causing some facility failures..."
Lu Feng frowned slightly, "What's the solution?"
"Several backup lines have been connected to the main system, and vulnerable spare parts and maintenance personnel are on standby..."
Lu Feng's brows widened and he quickly made up his mind:
"Okay, the risk is controllable. If that's the case, then we will conduct the first test run of [Xuanwu Fortress] today, and now start executing the activation procedures of [Xuanwu Shield]!"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Following Lu Feng's order, bursts of roaring began to emanate from the depths of the giant pyramid called Xuanwu Fortress.
A super-giant energy collector with a diameter of 300 meters and a size comparable to an inverted battlecruiser slowly descended, gradually penetrated into the hot mantle along the preset trajectory, and began to carry out majestic energy exchange.
The core reactor that received energy support was activated, and under Yutu's steady control, the output power gradually increased.
The shield reaction chamber located above the reactor began to generate some mysterious substance, which then shot straight into the sky through the giant probe protruding from the top of the fortress.
The super magnetic field generator of Xuanwu Fortress was started simultaneously.
With sufficient energy supply, an artificial magnetic field that was several times more powerful than the weather control device gradually formed. After a brief confrontation with the chaotic magnetic field of the natural disaster, it defeated the opponent and assimilated the sky above the colony into its own territory.
Subsequently, the mysterious substance released by the probe at the top of the fortress soared into the sky and spread under the influence of the artificial magnetic field, like a huge soap bubble slowly unfolding over the colony.
The unfolding process lasted for about 1 minute, during which a meteorite passed through but was not intercepted.
Finally, the pot-lid-shaped shield was fully deployed, covering the outermost wall of the Gate of Hell and ten kilometers of land.
After completing the expansion,
The transformed pure energy is poured into the shield through the only soaring light pillar connected to the shield. After being filled with energy, the mysterious substance undergoes some kind of qualitative change, presenting a crystal clear fluid feeling and emitting soft colorful light.
, looks magnificent.
the next moment,
A meteorite with billowing smoke fell from the sky and hit the newly formed dome shield.
Boom!
There was a muffled sound, as if the meteorite had hit some barrier. What you could see was smoke and dust in the sky and fragments of flames scattered in the air.
Interception successful!
This time, the meteorite failed to pass through and crashed into the Xuanwu shield.
Through observation, we can also find that the Xuanwu shield is not a force field shield used by ordinary ships.
The essence of a force field shield is a layer of special force fields that are constrained. They are thick but intangible. Incoming attacks will be weakened layer by layer in the force field until they dissipate.
If the shield is thick enough, the attack can be 100% blocked, but if the shield is "too thin," the attack will penetrate the shield and exert its remaining power after being weakened by the shield.
For warships equipped with heavy armor, force field shields are more cost-effective. Even if the interception fails, they can weaken the power of the attack and ultimately rely on armor to resist.
Moreover, the force field shield is hit and consumes the shield capacitor. As long as the capacitor is not completely overloaded, it can be recharged quickly. Generally, there will be no fatal vacuum period, and the force field shield has strong toughness.
The Xuanwu Shield is different.
It is essentially a type of energy shield, which is made up of tightly arranged energy entities that have undergone special qualitative changes. As long as the shield is not broken, no matter or energy can penetrate it.
The protection range not only covers kinetic energy ammunition and energy beams, but also can protect against dangerous environments such as radiation, poisonous gas, and dust.
in other words,
After the energy shield is deployed, the inner and outer worlds are completely isolated. As long as the shield still exists, it can play a role in protection and isolation.
Of course, electromagnetic waves and gravity are obviously not within the scope of protection.
The level of technology that can control gravity is very high, but electromagnetic waves that are not strong enough will be assimilated by the strong magnetic field produced by the shield. Only signals modulated by special equipment can be transmitted normally.
From the perspective of interception objects,
Force field shields are mainly used against attacks that are considered obvious threats, such as high-speed targets and high-energy targets.
