Chapter 49: Neutron Stars
They walked to the power armor and stopped. Xia Lian looked at the shape of the power armor.
"It seems that there are a lot of moths in the New Federation. Even if this kind of power armor is eliminated, it should be transferred to the colonial stars outside the core world."
It was impossible for these pirates to snatch weapons and equipment from the military, so it was obvious that someone within the New Federation sold those obsolete powered exoskeletons on the black market.
Later, Xia Lian murmured in a low voice: "However, we are still laughing at the same time."
Mercury picked up the gun on the side of the powered armor. Due to the proportion problem, the entire gun was almost as tall as Mercury's person.
Countless data flashed in her eyes, and she began to scan the weapon.
"What kind of weapon is this?" Xia Lian asked.
"It's a heavy particle accelerator cannon, but this weapon is not the key to the power just now." Mercury said, "The problem is that the gun's shell is an ultra-high-density neutron star-like material, which uses neutron flow.
blasted out.”
"Neutron star?" Xia Lian was a little surprised.
"It's not like you imagine that space technology is used to compress the central star." Mercury explained, "Its formation principle and density are very similar to that of a neutron star, but its overall mass is not the same concept as a neutron star."
"What kind of technology is used to create micro black holes?" Xia Lian asked.
Mercury nodded.
"Now I don't care about antimatter energy." Xia Lian murmured softly, "Now I care more about how they obtained this kind of cannonball..."
The lifespan of a neutron in a free state is only nine hundred seconds, and it decays rapidly after leaving the nucleus.
But this so-called decay is the release of an electron and a neutrino, which themselves become positively charged protons.
In layman's terms, it means it's broken.
But its lifespan in the nucleus is very long, because the strong binding force between nucleons is like a cage, binding neutrons inside, which prevents it from releasing electrons and neutrinos, and therefore cannot decay.
That is to say, don't let it crack.
The greater the mass, the greater the gravity. The gravity generated by the huge mass of the neutron star is enough to bind the neutrons and maintain them in a stable state.
However, the gravity generated by this neutron star-like mass obviously cannot reach the point where a neutron star can maintain its state through gravity.
Although there is now technology to create artificial gravity, maintaining this high-density neutron star-like form for a long time through externally applied gravity consumes a huge amount of energy.
It would be reasonable if it were on a starship. In the past, neutron beams were a relatively common ship-based weapon.
The advantage of the neutron beam is that it is uncharged. When the beam is emitted, the charged particles will diffuse due to their internal electrostatic repulsion.
The fact that the neutron beam is uncharged means that its straight-line attack capability is very strong and the distance is very long. Moreover, in the absence of an energy shield, its penetrating power can even directly pass through the starship armor and attack the personnel inside.
There is an antimatter reactor on the starship, which has enough energy to maintain the neutrino star, and the power it creates is very impressive.
However, the damage of this kind of small cannon is generally overflowing, and the price/performance ratio is not very high. It should be a weapon made in recent years to target modified humans.
This kind of thing has not even been used by the regular army. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for it to appear on this pirate ship.
"I didn't expect that I might find some unexpected surprises."
Xia Lian whispered in a low voice. He had seen something similar to this technology in the past, but it was usually a large device mounted on a very large starship, and it was very dangerous.
The existence of this kind of thing now means that this device has been reduced to the laboratory level, and its controllability may be more stable.
"Mercury, where is the main control room?" Xia Lian asked.
Mercury was silent for a moment. The wide-area radar system spread out around her with her as the center. The thumbnail of the entire spacecraft and the location coordinates of all personnel were displayed in her mind in a three-dimensional view.
"Confirmed by the main control room."
Xia Lian nodded, "Inform everyone that if the captain is caught, remember to keep him alive."
"yes."
"Take me to the main control room." Xia Lian said.
Then, Mercury walked in front of Xia Lian and began to lead Xia Lian forward in the dark corridor.
After walking about a few dozen meters, I met some pirates on the way. Mercury almost all bounced away with a repulsive force field, knocking them out, and the journey was almost unimpeded.
Soon, they arrived at the door of the main control room. The door was closed, but it was almost like paper to the particle knife.
Mercury raised his lightsaber, and the powerful repulsive field impacted the door, directly pushing the door out of a passage.
But just when Mercury was about to step into it first, she suddenly turned her head and raised her lightsaber.
"boom!"
A sledgehammer suddenly appeared from the void and hit the lightsaber from top to bottom. The huge force of the impact caused ripples that made the ground begin to tremble faintly.
The owner of the sledgehammer slowly broke away from optical invisibility and appeared in front of them.
That was also a man wearing power armor. The hammer was certainly no ordinary hammer. The particle flow spurting from the end continued to bring powerful power.
But Mercury seemed to be at ease, holding the lightsaber in one hand and holding the hammer in a stalemate.
The thrusters at the elbows of the power armor arms also turned on, spewing out a stream of particles in an attempt to give the power hammer a second boost.
At this time, the force exerted on the mercury has reached tens of tons.
The metal floor under Mercury's feet deformed slightly, and a man's hysterical roar came from inside the power armor.
"Go to hell, monster!"
In an instant, Mercury's eyes lit up with light. Under Xia Lian's gaze, her silky white hair moved without wind, and particles flowed from her hair, as if they were glowing.
The white light reflected her skin, which was as white as gelatin, even brighter. The particle flow was like a warm wind, driving the surrounding dust to float around her, and the hem of the black Gothic skirt was also driven to vibrate slightly.
, vaguely revealing a snow-white smooth thigh.
The brain in Xia Lian's lower body controlled his gaze to move downward involuntarily, and then the brain in his upper body quickly caused his gaze to shift.
He nodded silently in his mind, and he probably understood why the modified person wears tight clothes...
As the mercury enters overclocking mode.
Dark, who was inside the power armor, showed a look of fear, but then he felt a huge force that lifted him away more than ten meters and hit him hard against the wall.
After flipping off the powered armor, Mercury's white hair also stopped emitting particle flow, and slowly walked towards the powered armor.
Xia Lian ignored their battle and walked into the main control room through the gap created by Mercury.
There is no one in this main control room, and it does not use the holographic projection system on the Fenrirgan Kui starship. The half circle at the front is made of transparent aluminum as a viewing window.
It looks like it should be an older starship.
There is a chair in the middle of the main control room. It should be a captain's chair. It is made of all metal and has a huge skull logo on it. There are also some closed particle knives and metal tubes welded to the backrest, just like the Iron Throne.
.
Fortunately, it's not like a golden toilet, otherwise Xia Lian wouldn't dare sit on it.
However, for such a small pirate group to set up such an arrogant throne, it is considered to be very good.
He walked up to the high platform and naturally sat on the Iron Throne, placing his elbows on the armrests, dragging his cheek with his right hand, and looking into the distance.
His movements were so natural. Although it was a pirate's lustful throne, there was an inexplicable fit for him sitting on that throne.
