Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 415 - 406 Rejuvenation Cannon

Linyin said, "The Benefactor’s scientific research capability is ultimately inadequate. Two groups from our Scientific Research Institute are currently studying how to extract the Eternal Crystal Stone component from the soil of Taoran Star and synthesize it into crystalline form. No definitive results have come out yet, but we are on the right path, and it shouldn’t take too long to see some effects."

Bai Zhongqi nodded and asked, "How much Eternal Crystal Stone do you estimate is present on Taoran Star?"

Linyin replied, "Our conservative estimate currently stands at 24,000 tons. If all the Eternal Crystal Stone on Taoran Star were to be mined, then after some time to buffer, Taoran Star should be able to return to a region with normal communications."

Bai Zhongqi said, "I’m afraid that is not something that can be achieved in the short term. I am also concerned about another issue. For the Controllers, Eternal Crystal Stone is of great significance, so they must get their hands on it. For us, what help can Eternal Crystal Stone provide? Could it be that we are merely mining these materials to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Controllers?"

Linyin smiled and said, "I knew you would ask this, Your Majesty. Eternal Crystal Stone itself could be called a discipline. The Scientific Research Institute has invested a great deal of effort and resources into researching Eternal Crystal Stone, and we now have dozens of research teams working on it. Naturally, there are already results in utilizing Eternal Crystal Stone. Chancellor, please follow me."

Bai Zhongqi, full of curiosity and anticipation, was led by Linyin into a huge enclosed space. The walls around this space were as smooth as mirrors, forming a perfect ring. The room where Bai Zhongqi stood was the control room of this large experimental center, where several researchers in lab coats were busy.

In the hollow center of the experimental center was a huge mechanical device. After observing it for a moment, Bai Zhongqi asked, "It looks a bit like a laser weapon."

Linyin nodded with a smile and said, "This is indeed a weapon modified based on our military’s Y2S-II type laser cannon. It can reach a maximum output of 2000MW and is currently the most sophisticated laser weapon used by the Star Alliance."

As the Commander of the Star Alliance, Bai Zhongqi was well aware of the weapons on the Star Alliance warships. The undisputed top weapon was the Gauss Railgun, which was powerful, versatile, and cost-effective, making it the primary cannon on most Star Alliance warships. The other two types of main cannons were laser weapons and beam weapons, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Laser weapons had high attack speed and accuracy, but consumed a lot of energy and had insufficient power. They were also easily counteracted by mirror armor.

With a hint of boasting, Linyin explained to Chancellor Bai Zhongqi, "As I mentioned before, Eternal Crystal Stone can cause changes in the properties and strength of energy, but these changes are very intricate. We have not yet been able to control all of them. However, we have obtained some interesting and valuable results by arranging different sequences and positions of Eternal Crystal Stone and using different energy sources to influence and induce them."

She pointed to the huge laser weapon in the experimental center and said, "Please take a look at the power of this cannon we have modified."

As her words fell, the people in the experimental center had already pressed the button, and the cover on top of the cylindrical experimental center retracted like dissolving mercury, opening an aperture that revealed a circular section of the sky.

A holographic screen appeared in front of Bai Zhongqi, displaying a large target in Earth’s orbit. Bai Zhongqi’s eyelid twitched in surprise, "Are you prepared for a live-fire drill? There are so many facilities in Earth’s orbit now, any military live-fire drill carries risks. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Linyin stuck out her cute little tongue playfully and said, "As long as you are here, Chancellor, any mess can be covered by you. Besides, the Scientific Research Institute has already notified Universe Army, and the area around the target has been cleared. There won’t be any damage."

Bai Zhongqi shrugged, "Well, since you’ve decided, I’ll just watch."

Excited, Linyin clapped her hands and commanded several research assistants, "What are you waiting for? Fire it already."

Bai Zhongqi also looked at the laser cannon, which was even bigger than the standard main cannons, with great interest, wondering about its destructive power.

"Begin charging," shouted the scientist from the research institute. An energy bar, distinctly visible, began to fill with a blue-white light. The filling was not very fast; as the bar filled up, its color turned increasingly yellow, until it finally turned red.

Bai Zhongqi was somewhat surprised, as with the Star Alliance’s energy storage technology, it was rare to see a weapon needing such a long charging time.

"Here it comes!" Linyin exclaimed excitedly.

"Fire!" the scientist called out, without much impact.

Bai Zhongqi then saw the giant laser cannon’s tip suddenly emit a ghastly pale light beam that shot straight into the sky.

Almost the instant the beam was fired, in the holographic screen in front of Bai Zhongqi, the same ghastly beam struck a large target in the sky, at least fifty to sixty meters in length and width. Effortlessly, the beam pierced through the large target, which then began to spread along the target. Subsequently, the whole target began to dissolve and scatter in the light beam, leaving absolutely nothing behind.

Linyin, apparently not surprised, quickly asked a researcher, "How much output?"

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

"The output is 4260 MW!"

Bai Zhongqi gasped in shock; the strength of this main cannon exceeded those on many large main battle ships. He knew very well that the large target, which had just turned to ash, was actually used by the Universe Army to simulate the defensive power of a standard enemy warship. To pierce through it with a single shot indicated at least the shield and defensive capabilities of an Iridium Star light cruiser or higher.

Linyin, with a beaming smile, said to Bai Zhongqi, "I am honored to present to you this new weapon, which we have developed through research on the Eternal Crystal Stone. I call it the ’Rejuvenation Cannon.’ We have enhanced the intensity of laser weapons at least twofold using Eternal Crystal Stones. Not only that, photons themselves become extremely active due to the influence of the Eternal Crystal Stones, causing intense reactions with other solid materials, leading to explosions and combustion."

Bai Zhongqi was stunned by the power of the Rejuvenation Cannon; a 4000 MW-level main cannon was certainly extraordinary. He opened his mouth to praise Linyin, when suddenly, a researcher called out:

"Director Linyin, the structure of the experimental cannon number 6 is unstable; it may explode again —"

Linyin’s proud smile immediately turned into a look of shock, "What?"

"Boom—"
