Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 269 New Weapons
Although Li Qingsong had not completely gotten rid of the anger in his heart, he had at least gotten rid of a large part of it.

That’s not all there is to gain.

In the vast battlefield where the previous war took place, who knows how many extremely valuable warship wreckages there are, or even surviving Haveli people!
As long as he could salvage the wreckage, there was hope that he could analyze the technology of the Havelers, which was more advanced than his own.

Although reverse engineering has never been very useful, it is still a help.

As for the surviving Havelers, in addition to the hope of obtaining secrets about human civilization from them, Li Qingsong may also be able to extract scientific and technological information from them.

Compared with reverse engineering, these scientific and technological data are what Li Qingsong values more.

But now is not the time to clean up the battlefield.

That flaming unidentified object is still wreaking havoc in the galaxy.

It’s time to go all out and solve them!
In the previous stage, Li Qingsong controlled the fleet to fight against the Haveler fleet, while trying to use various weapons and methods to deal with these flaming unknown creatures.

Li Qingsong used various weapons including energy cannons, laser cannons, energy artillery, interstellar mines, interstellar missiles, etc., but in the end he found that they either had no effect or had very little effect.

Needless to say, energy cannons and laser cannons are basically useless against this kind of thing.

Energy artillery is somewhat useful, but based on the current weapon parameters, the energy artillery shells cannot lock on to them or cause an explosion.

Energy artillery shells were all aimed at warships. Locking onto warships, exploding close to them, or directly ramming them was quite effective. However, this unidentified object was practically intangible. How could they lock onto it? How could they detonate it?

Interstellar mines, missiles and other weapons also face this situation.

After trying various weapons, Li Qingsong discovered that at this stage, the only one that has some effect and some killing power is nuclear weapons.

There's no air in space, so the shock wave, a nuclear weapon's most important lethal force, is eliminated. However, despite the shock wave, nuclear weapons can still cause damage through electromagnetic pulses, thermal radiation, and high-energy radiation.

It is these thermal radiation and high-energy radiation that can cause damage to these flaming unidentified objects!
Li Qingsong saw that under the impact of the heat and radiation energy of the nuclear bomb explosion, the unidentified object that looked like a flame was like a candle flame in the wind and rain. It was instantly blown away and no longer existed.

But...nuclear weapons also have extremely serious limitations.

Nuclear weapons have different killing radiuses in space depending on their yield, but usually they do not exceed 10,000 kilometers.

A radius of 10,000 kilometers may seem large, but space is vast, and a spherical area with a radius of 10,000 kilometers is too small.

Moreover, those flaming unidentified objects were extremely maneuverable, even more so than their own warships.

This means that once a nuclear bomb is launched, the flaming unidentified objects in the target area will quickly escape, and only a small number of them can be killed.

Moreover, the number of interstellar missiles using nuclear weapons as warheads is limited.

Nuclear weapons are merely an auxiliary tool in interstellar battlefields. Which fleet would be equipped with such weapons in large quantities?

For a moment, facing these unidentified objects, Li Qingsong felt like a tiger facing a hedgehog, at a loss as to where to start. Li Qingsong's billions of brains were working rapidly, and various detection devices were all aimed at these unidentified objects, trying their best to collect any information about them.

At this moment, apart from the necessary mental consumption, Li Qingsong invested almost all of his free brain power into analyzing and thinking about this unidentified object.

Li Qingsong had no choice but to give it his all.

At this moment, it has been less than a month since the Haveler civilization released these unidentified objects, and they have already caused themselves extremely serious trouble.

One after another, the warships had their energy shields destroyed and were then destroyed by these unidentified objects;

Satellite after satellite lost contact with them, apparently destroyed by them.

A satellite is a pair of Li Qingsong's eyes. And at this moment, these eyes that belong to him are rapidly decreasing;
Unmanned warships, space artillery, automatic space defense devices, etc., are also suffering from a large number of attacks and their numbers are constantly decreasing;

Even some non-combat facilities, such as logistics spacecraft, transport spacecraft, space logistics bases, aerospace motherships, etc., are also under heavy siege.

In just one month, Li Qingsong had already lost over 30,000 manned warships alone! This was almost more efficient than the Harvil civilization's own destruction!
At this moment, Li Qingsong was even forced to gather almost all of his fleet around the three major planets, and then rely on limited reserve hydrogen bombs to barely defend and hold on.

Li Qingsong certainly has the ability to produce hydrogen bombs. However, because the demand for these things has always been small, the production line is also small and the output is limited.

Besides, even if the production is sufficient, the destructive power of hydrogen bombs against such unidentified objects is really limited. It is probably not enough to rely solely on hydrogen bombs, and new means of attack must be found.

Li Qingsong was filled with anger as he quickly thought, analyzed, and studied.

I could even defeat a powerful nuclear civilization in its heyday on a frontal battlefield, kill half of its population, and almost completely destroy its warship reserves.

At this moment, you bunch of weird creatures have forced me to gather next to the planet and hold on. How can I vent the anger in my heart if I don’t kill you!
Through quick research, Li Qingsong soon found a way to fight against these unknown creatures.

Since thermal radiation and high-energy radiation can cause harm to you, then research and develop in this direction!

Hydrogen bombs are too bulky, with a single bomb weighing at least a dozen tons. Their delivery is not sensitive or accurate enough, their killing radius is too small, and their overall efficiency is too low?

Then develop small arms! Although small arms have a smaller killing radius, they can be launched in large quantities, have a fast delivery speed, can turn quickly, and are more accurate.

As long as we can accurately get close to that unidentified creature, even a killing radius of only a few dozen meters is completely sufficient.

After struggling for a while, Li Qingsong finally developed a new weapon.

This weapon can still be classified as an energy artillery. Its killing method is still explosive, and its overall mass does not exceed 50kg. It can be mass-produced and mass-fired.

The biggest difference between these and the energy cannons Li Qingsong had made in the past was that they could finally lock onto and quickly track this kind of unidentified flame-like creature that had a high temperature and a special shape!
