Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Chapter 233 The Power of High-Energy Ion Beam

One week later.

Mars Spaceport.

Wilson looked at the huge ship outside the porthole with a fanatical look.

It was the Luanniao starship that had been transformed twice.

At the front of the starship were the barrels of five electromagnetic coil guns.

On the left and right sides, there were six laser generators with a radius of 9.5 meters.

As for the ion beam weapon, it was installed on the top of the Luanniao starship.

Although the appearance was a bit ugly, the firepower of this Luanniao starship was undoubtedly the most powerful weapon system currently owned by mankind, no one else!

"Professor, how are you going to test its power?"

Wilson rubbed his hands excitedly and turned his head to ask with anticipation.

As the developer of two... no, one and a half weapons, Wilson was naturally full of expectations for the test of this weapon system.

Lv Yongchang turned his head and pointed to the porthole on the other side: "Look, the test target is over there."

Wilson followed Lu Yongchang's gaze.

"..."He stared at the so-called "test target" with a dull look.

A few seconds later, Wilson's exclamation sounded in the Mars Spaceport.

"Lu, Professor Lu?"

"Are you sure you want to use a Luanniao I starship as a target?!!"

Outside the porthole, a Luanniao starship with a slightly worn surface, with a few blue flames spurting out of its tail, slowly sailed into the deep space.

"Of course."

Lu Yongchang nodded without comment: "As the main weapon in the future, I must know its power exactly."

"Otherwise, we will suffer a great loss in the future interstellar war."

"What's more..." He laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's impossible that the weapons we worked so hard to make can't even cut the starships built a few years ago?"

Wilson swallowed hard and looked at Lu Yongchang beside him with horror.

Crazy, too crazy!

Although the Luanniao I starship is an "old starship" built a few years ago, it is at least the main starship of human civilization at present!

"Calm down, the new starship will be out soon."

"These old guys will eventually go on the road of re-creation."

Speaking of this, Lu Yongchang looked down at the holographic image on the console.

3000 kilometers.

"Too close." Lu Yongchang said in a deep voice, "Increase the distance to 50,000 kilometers!"

"Got it."

The moment the voice fell, the blue flame at the tail of the old-looking Luanniao starship instantly increased.

Under Zero's control, the Luanniao starship drove towards 50,000 kilometers without hesitation!

"50,000 kilometers... Professor, is it a bit too far?" Wilson said anxiously while sitting in a chair, "This is already the limit attack distance of laser weapons and ion beam weapons."

Lu Yongchang raised his head, looked through the porthole, and stared at the distant starry sky.

"Not far."

...

"Ding Dong."

A crisp reminder sounded in the spaceport.

"The target starship has arrived at the destination and can start testing at any time."

Lv Yongchang's expression suddenly became serious.

He supported his hands on the console in front of him and stood up from his seat: "Zero, start testing!"

Next to the spaceport, the modified Luanniao starship slowly turned around.

For safety reasons, this test was remotely controlled by Zero throughout the entire process.

After all, no one knows whether those high-energy weapons will have any accidents.

[Locking the target...]

A line of Chinese characters appeared in the holographic image in front of Lu Yongchang.

The next moment, the Chinese characters changed quietly.

[Target locked! ]

[High-energy pulse laser array, start! ]

Six red "light spots" instantly lit up on both wings of the starship!

That was the performance of the laser generator starting to accumulate energy!

The accumulation time was very short.

In less than a second, six thick red lasers shot straight towards the Luanniao starship 50,000 kilometers away!

In just one second, six laser generators fired 10 high-energy lasers respectively.

A full 60 high-energy lasers rushed towards the target at the speed of light!

0.167 seconds later, the high-energy laser beam crossed a distance of 50,000 kilometers and hit the armor of the Luanniao starship hard!

Swish! !

In just a moment, huge holes appeared where the laser irradiated!

The armor of the Luanniao starship melted!

"What is the result of the battle?" Lv Yongchang asked in a deep voice.

The holographic projection unfolded again.

The picture taken by the camera appeared in front of the two.

On the Luanniao starship 50,000 kilometers away, there were six more circular holes!

"Piercing wound..." Wilson muttered to himself, and the excitement gradually spread on his face.

"Success! Professor, the laser weapon I designed was successful!"

Lv Yongchang's eyes also showed some excitement.

The power of high-energy laser weapons far exceeded his imagination!

"Zero, continue to test the ion beam weapon!" He took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said.

"Received." Zero's voice was as calm as ever.

Unlike laser weapons, the human eye cannot see the firing of ion beam weapons, just like humans cannot see solar storms.

But in the holographic image in front of him, in the two small particle accelerators on top of the starship, countless heavy ions are madly accelerated under the action of the magnetic field!

0.01 times the speed of light...

0.1 times the speed of light...

0.5 times the speed of light!

When the heavy ions reach 50% of the speed of light, they are sent into a narrow pipe.

The pipe is full of magnetic fields.

This is to prevent these high-energy ions from colliding with the pipe.

[High-energy ion beam has been launched! ]

In the holographic image, a line of prompts keeps flashing.

0.33 seconds later.

The high-energy ion beam bombards the armor of the Luanniao starship!

Unlike laser weapons that flow on the surface, high-energy ions penetrate directly into the thick armor of the Luanniao starship.

Although both damage is caused by heating the target, the heating point of the high-energy ion beam is inside the armor!

Under the energy of the high-energy ion beam, the temperature of the armor and equipment inside the Luanniao starship rises sharply!

Bang!

Under the intense high temperature, the armor of the starship exploded from the inside out!

From the outside, it looks like an explosion inside the starship!

In the Mars Spaceport, Lv Yongchang and Wilson stared blankly at the picture in front of them.

That was the camera picture inside the target.

The picture is very "weird".

After the ion beam weapon was launched.

There was no fire, no sound.

But in just one second, the internal armor and equipment of the starship melted into a ball of hot molten iron "out of thin air"!

"How deep is the attack?"

Lv Yongchang took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked in a deep voice.

"Thirty meters." Zero responded quickly, "The internal structure of the armor in the attack area is completely destroyed, and the internal equipment of the starship is completely destroyed."

Lv Yongchang did not speak, but his clenched fist showed his excitement!

At this moment, his fear of future wars suddenly eased a lot!

PS. Starship naming... At the request of book friends, a starship naming building is opened here.
