The proper application of excessive force. Lasers so powerful that random interactions with scattered hydrogen atoms make them visible and the mass of photons becomes a destructive force. Then high velocity projectiles for whatever was left.
Well... we'll fire the laser and see what happens anyway. What did we name it again... Please no... I am not calling it that... fark you I'm changing your callsign to "No Moon" as of this second.
You can't see lasers in space. But, what if they are so powerful as to make the rare atoms and dust glow bright blue, enough to look as a beam ? They don't cause explosions. But, what if they actually vaporize the target so fast that the released plasma then cause an explosion ? OK, now that they try to evade our laser, let throw some rocks... At relativistic velocity.
Well... lasers don't make explosions, supposedly, but heat up the target with the energy transferred. Heat it up enough and combustion will start. An explosion is simply a VERY fast combustion.
It's good to hear stories that make you feel good, instead of stories with feelings of self loathing. Even if they are goofy. Dad jokes work too. Didn't you Rick Roll us once upon a time? Merciless.
People argue about what the greatest weapon is. It's rock. It always has been and it always will be. Every weapon we have made is just a different way to throw rocks harder and faster. It just depends on how leathal you want your rock to be.
Heh... just imagining a different plotline in my head where hyper-reflective alien technology is beaten by inferior lasers because someone figured out how to launch chalk rounds out of the cargo bay using an EVA suit, a bunch of straps, luck, and a museum piece Mk19 AGL.
Greetings, Mentlegent! For the Rhyhtm that is Algo Xenos: Lasers don't work that way! Humans: We'll make them work a different way, then. And what was that you were saying about throwing rocks? We can do that, too.
Remonds me of that space combat game with mpstly realistic physics, Railguns are basically throwing 2mm flecks of metal at high speed.. and hifh rate. Juat create a clpud of hypervelocity impacts and wear down even the tpughest of armors. Fyi, due to physics reflective = brittle, so long as you overcome the surface tension it will crack, flake and shatter with enough impacts.
I'm reminded of Homeworld by Harry Harrison (I think) the rebel fleet jumps in system and engages the other human fleet from far beyond visual sight. The super authoritarian defending fleet had all kinds of sophisticated seeker missiles and point weapons. The rebels hand coil guns (magnetic kinetic cannon) and for point defense they had batteries of pistol caliber rocket batteries. The defending fleet had all of its sophisticated missiles swept aside by the rocket guns. Then the rail slugs hit. They had no trouble taking earth besides avoiding the debris field from the enemy fleet. Because they pretty much got shredded.
enough photons and its lees a wave length and more a solid thing only visible in one direction , just like with kinetics.. excellent to rob offensive stuff of its energy and if you pack enough energy in its motions splendid hammers to supress foes into cracking , or to finish a wounded foe by delivering a heap of matter into a tight space with no place for all its kinetic energy to go ^^
Here is a like and comment for the story, for entertaining me, to help your channel grow, to appease the great and powerful UA-cam algorithm demon, and get you the recognition you deserve.
Ah good oh reliable sci-fi lasers and The Throw Rocks method , always a classic hahahahaha! Also , love your narrations Angro!! There's several other channels that have an ai narrate the stories but those sound SOOO SOULLESS, i couldn't listen to no more than a few seconds of them!! Yep your narrations are FAR SUPERIOR compare to those cheap copy cats!! Take care and have a great day my guy . 🙂
I honestly was expecting a Casaba Howitzer and coherent particle acceleration to direct the explosive force to follow the hyper velocity pellet that was just launched. Honestly surprised that we haven't seen many kinetic missiles of semi homing rounds fired from rail tubes, possibly with the special ammo filled with coolant that expands and is blown out as a rocket to cool the shell and absorb heat from the barrel lol. Getting missiles to mach 7+ before they even leave the ship to have them home in as they arrive at some fraction of C would be nice lol
I mean. You see those asteroids? Is cheaper to put some rockets and a cheap guidance system on them, then aiming them to a planet, than equipping a super powerful reactor to power some powerful lasers.
Movies are always making sinsational explosions. I remember the first time see a grenade go off and just displayed air with a little dust around it no fire or light. Then in Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan seeing a grenade attached to a half full can of gasoline wrapped in det cord then thrown stairs at insurgent below in basements. Now that was a Hollywood type set of explosions.
"You'd be better off throwing rocks."
We're good at that, too.
I knew that at the end "rocks" would be thrown.😂
"You might be better off throwing rocks at them!"
*very wide grin... primal humanity intensifies*
Oh no, they let the humans in rock throwing range. Bad idea, humans have way to much experience with throwing rocks.
Our wrists are literally evolved for it. It is likely that, should we make it to space 'throw something at it REALLY HARD' is hard-wired into us.
To be fair, we are REALLY good at throwing rocks.
"nyeahhh, lets throw some rocks!" hahaha.
Except anything that can dodge a laser will just laugh at anything slower like thrown rocks.

Great story; Excellent narration! Never get in a rock throwing contest with humans! You'll lose every time! LOL!!!

And so the epic battle begins in earnest. Many thanks.
"You might as well be throwing rocks"
"Great idea! While we're at it, I brought a pair of sticks if you need one"
I swear I could hear the boggle in that poor commanders voice. Well done great squirrel.

What is a particle beam, but a series of very small, very fast rocks?
@@nickdumas2495It's a stream of very fast moving rock building blocks. Assembly into a rock at target location not required.
When he said "better off throwing rocks" I knew every human in the battlespace took it personally. Humans throw rocks.
If brute force isn’t working, apply more.
After a few thousand years of practice, we became quite good at throwing rocks.
Heh... just imagining a different plotline in my head where hyper-reflective alien technology is beaten by inferior lasers because someone figured out how to launch chalk rounds out of the cargo bay using an EVA suit, a bunch of straps, luck, and a museum piece Mk19 AGL.
Eva like evagalion
@@nightwolfnordberg9476 EVA like ExtraVehicular Activity.
The humans and rocks thing is one of my favourite HFY tropes.....😉😅
Yeah, I doubt anything short of neutron armor could withstand the blast from a kasava beam.
Are you referrling to the Casaba Howitzer? Technically that's a plasma weapon, not a laser weapon.
Last line was a nice touch.
Oh no don't make us throw rocks. Lol

Time to throw some rocks.. for some reason the Narn homeworld flashed through my mind. Dam you Centari...
Thank you for the reading
Another great read by Agro
loved the story
i was hoping for that ending
thanks for the narration
For DA SKWERL and his Nest... First
Love ❤ your work and your voice ❤ You are so awesome!

Really really fast rocks.
Humanity just love throwing those relativistic rocks at some target.

Rocks. Indeed.
Cylindrical rocks launched at over .5 of light speed. The fun is just starting.

I Love kinetics :D Nothing beats a 100-200 kg mass, moving with measurable precentage of the speed of light.
Thank you for the video.
I'd you can't dazzle them with your greatness, baffle them with your bullshit. Well done!
I like to think the Necron Tesla weapons use lasers as a conduit.
I honestly was expecting a Casaba Howitzer and coherent particle acceleration to direct the explosive force to follow the hyper velocity pellet that was just launched.

Thanks Mr squirrel
Lasers are great, because they don't have an upper limit on how much power you can pump into them.
"Lets throw some rocks........."
5,000 *new* rock throwing related warcrimes later :3
So the humans were rocking out . . .
Explosion can result if modulated. Ie switch on off fast right timing and frequency.
Humans love explosions, so I expect an impact or explosion Lazer way beyond xeno expectations to result.
For the algorithm!
never tell the humans the odds, we'll do it just to prove you wrong.
Lasers at high power DO in fact blow things up. This is because of thermal expansion. It is also why lightning strikes can blow things apart.
In the Marines we throw rocks when bored
🛸🛸🛸
I mean. You see those asteroids? Is cheaper to put some rockets and a cheap guidance system on them, then aiming them to a planet, than equipping a super powerful reactor to power some powerful lasers.
Which would you prefer a non-existent laser weapon or a well aimed rock?
I do wonder how they would reflect x-ray lasers

This story presents real life science as its base but makes lasers dodgeable at a range where kinetics are effective...
