How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 212 Laser Manufacturing

Speaking of manufacturing laser weapons, in fact, Huogu can't say that he started from scratch, and the weapons obtained from the "treasure hunt" on the mothership are basically laser types.

With the ready-made sample reference, things become much simpler. Huogu only needs to adjust the parameters to biological tissue weapons on the basis of alien laser weapons. laser weapons.

X-OMG type pulse beam, MRZ type pulse beam, Z-YX type scatter beam... The weapons carried on many motherships are displayed in the life field channel. Starting from the destruction of the internal keel, Huo Gu was lucky enough to capture almost all types of weapons on the mothership.

With the introduction of the mothership AI, Huogu can easily know the parameters of these laser weapons. Of course, there are some small obstacles, such as the measurement units used by aliens are different from those on Earth...

Listening to the mothership AI reporting a series of data with unknown meanings for the X-OMG pulse beam with a caliber of 100C, Huo Gu realized the necessity of converting the measurement units of the two civilizations.

It took some time to complete the comparison and conversion of the units on both sides. It is not difficult. You only need to arrange the water molecules individually in a straight line to get a sample parameter, and then rely on that sample parameter to easily deduce the Alien unit system.

Although there are many types of lasers seized from aliens, their general structure is the same. After all, no matter how advanced the technology is, it is impossible to break out of the basic laws of the universe and develop some inexplicable black technologies.

The essential composition of the laser is first a stable energy source, which can be in any form, as long as it can output energy outward.

The second is to receive energy, convert the energy into high-energy electromagnetic waves, and release it outward. This converter is closely related to the energy source, and it will vary according to the energy form released by the energy source.

For example, if the energy source mainly releases heat energy, then the converter should be made of a material with extremely high temperature sensitivity, which will absorb heat energy and convert it into electromagnetic radiation energy.

The same is true for energy in the form of electricity, kinetic energy, etc.

Finally, there is an electromagnetic wave converging device. Huo Gu referred to it as a 'beam constrictor' for short. The principle of the constrictor can be various, but its function must be the same, that is, to restrain the converted electromagnetic radiation energy as much as possible. gather.

Only under the confinement of the beam collector can the power of the laser be significantly improved, which is the same reason as using a magnifying glass to focus sunlight.

This is a general framework, and the design of all laser weapons cannot escape this framework, because this is the basic law of the universe.

Most of the aliens' laser weapons use gamma rays, or gamma rays.

The wavelength of gamma rays is very short, so the energy level of this ray is very high, and it is not electrical, which means that gamma photons will not be affected by the magnetic field, which represents a strong ability to penetrate matter and will not be shielded by the magnetic field Protection of a class of technologies.

If you want to defend against gamma rays, you can only rely on substances with high atomic numbers, such as lead and uranium.

Huogu knew about this kind of ray when he was on earth because it involved the space field, so Huogu quickly recognized the real body of this ray.

As for the gamma ray, Huo Gu only knew, not proficient in. Fortunately, he had the knowledge of aliens as a compensation. Due to the commonality of knowledge and the disappearance of language barriers, Huo Gu quickly absorbed, summarized, and mastered it.

The X-OMG pulse beam belongs to the γ-ray laser cannon, which is a combination of multiple laser weapons. The initial part uses ordinary lasers, that is, heat rays, as long as the electric energy is injected into the crystal as the converter Can.

But heat rays are just the beginning. Ordinary lasers will focus on concentrated deuterium-tritium rods, and the fusion reaction releases neutron flow. U238 absorbs the neutrons released by deuterium-tritium fusion and becomes U239, which becomes plutonium-239 after two beta decays. .

During the entire nuclear reaction process, a large number of γ-rays are released—the new nuclei produced after α-decay and β-decay of radioactive nuclei are often at a high energy level, and they need to transition to a lower energy level to radiate γ photons.

Of course, these are not the most important things. Gamma rays are not electrical, will not be affected by magnetic fields, and are extremely penetrating to matter. So what is used as a restraint to make the gamma rays converge?

Here, the aliens used lead crystals as confiners, special microscopic lattice structures, and high atomic number substances, which caused the gamma photons to be deflected when they hit, thus achieving the macroscopic focus of gamma rays.

After thoroughly understanding the X-OMG pulse beam inside and out, Huogu began to think about how to transform it into a biological tissue like a single-molecule knife and apply it to living organisms.

To achieve this goal, two problems need to be faced.

First, the ability to resist gamma rays inside the organism. Gamma rays are extremely penetrating. Simple lead protection will have no effect if it does not have a certain thickness. Considering the damage that occurs in battle, photobiological It is not enough for the tissue to withstand the radiation, the organism must also have some degree of resistance, and this problem must be solved in order to develop organisms that use laser light.

Second, the resistance of biological tissues to other radiations, γ-rays are not the only ones, nuclear decay will inevitably release X-rays, α-rays, neutron rays, β-rays, ultraviolet light, etc., so light has resistance to γ-rays Sex is not enough.

To be honest, living organisms are actually not suitable for the development of laser-type weapons, because living organisms are composed of individual living cells, and radiation can induce cell disease, and the radiation also carries heat energy. The inanimate machine is not worried about such troubles, but for the sake of space warfare, even if there is no road, Huogu still has to open up a way.

The cooling of organisms is necessary. Huo Gu added liquid nitrogen cooling design to the biological laser cannon that has been added with lead anti-radiation design, so as to avoid the disintegration of biological tissues after firing.

The cell pathology caused by radiation is not a problem, shorten the life of the cells in the chamber and accelerate the speed of cell division. As long as the cell life is lower than the time of cell pathology, the problem will be solved.

Considering radiation other than gamma rays, the lead material design alone is obviously not enough. Huogu uses heavy water as the cell fluid of biological tissues, and heavy water can be used as a moderator to slow down the non-electrical ray particles such as gamma and neutrons. Speed, which makes the energy of the neutron rays and gamma rays that penetrate the block of lead will not burst out all at once, but will be released in a slow form of heat energy, giving the liquid nitrogen enough time to cool down.
