4. Humans, 22 light years away, naturally don’t know that a huge change is taking place in their neighbor’s homes at this time.

Inside Mars City No. 1.

Lu Yongchang was standing in the laboratory with a serious expression, looking at the professors in white coats standing in front of him.

After the space mining project was successfully successful, the task he shouldered became the development of the weapon system.

This is exactly in line with the content of the missing part of the technology tree system.

"Professor Lu, I think our primary goal is still kinetic energy weapons!" A professor with typical Su Guo characteristics muttered and said in stiff Mandarin.

"No, no, my dear Professor Yevgeni, I think kinetic weapons have little effect in interstellar wars, and our energy should still be focused on laser weapons and higher-level energy weapons."

The same stiff Mandarin sounded on the side.

"Damn Wilson, you know nothing about weapons!" Professor Yevgeny from the former Suguo immediately burst out, angrily waved his big fist, and shouted to Professor Wilson on the side, "You don't understand weapons at all."

romantic!"

Professor Wilson shrugged, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face: "Yes! After all, it was not us who disintegrated at the beginning."

"You!" Yevgeny, who was poked into the pain, turned red, stretched out his fingers and pointed at Wilson tremblingly.

"Why……"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Yongchang reached out to hold his forehead and sighed helplessly.

When we first met, several top professors got along very well, as if they were together as a family.

Until the topic talks about the issue of choosing weapons...

Professor Yevgeni of the former Su Kingdom firmly chose kinetic energy weapons, or the kind of kinetic energy weapons with a super-large caliber.

Caliber is truth, range is justice.

As for Wilson from the former United States, he fully expressed his disdain for this backward weapon. At the same time, he believed that in interstellar war, energy weapons that can reach the speed of light are the most suitable options.

So... the two started a evenly debate until Wilson said the last word of defensiveness.

"Okay!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to stage a live PK in the laboratory, Lu Yongchang hurriedly scolded: "Stop it all!"

"Otherwise, this weapon development will not require you two anymore!"

The moment the words were finished, Yevgeny and Wilson quickly distanced themselves, standing in place with stiff expressions.

"Professor Lu, believe me, kinetic weapons are the choice of men!" Yevgeny obviously wanted to continue to promote the theory of truth, but was glared at by Lu Yongchang.

Lu Yongchang looked at the two people in front of him silently, pondered for a while, and slowly spoke: "Laser weapons and energy weapons are our next key research directions."

"Star Wars are different from wars on Earth. We may have to cross millions or even hundreds of millions of kilometers to strike targets. Weapons that travel at the speed of light are essential."

Wilson's eyes suddenly lit up.

He nodded repeatedly to agree: "Professor Lu, a wise choice!"

"I have done a lot of research in laser weapons, so you can hand over this task to me with confidence!"

The reaction was completely different from Wilson. At this time, Yevgeny's face was gray, like a defeated rooster.

Lu Yongchang glanced at Yevgeny, chuckled and said, "As for kinetic energy weapons, we cannot give up."

"After all, the power of kinetic energy weapons is still good when they are close to each other."

This is also the result of his long thinking last night.

Before the so-called protective cover technology, kinetic weapons have no doubt about their ability to cause damage during close contact.

The larger the mass and the faster the speed, the higher the energy it carries!

The characteristics of energy weapons are indeed more suitable for interstellar combat.

But according to the laser technology mastered by humans, it is probably not enough to see in the universe.

If we have to make an example, the laser technology currently mastered by humans is like a water-piping gun in the battle between interstellar civilizations.

It's not very hurtful and extremely insulting.

Therefore, before the prospects of energy weapons are clear, high-intensity kinetic energy weapons are undoubtedly the best choice for humans at present.

After hearing the second half of Lu Yongchang's words, Yevgeny immediately performed a Sichuan opera change on his face.

In just a few seconds, the grief and sorrow on the face of this 1.9-meter-old man disappeared, and was replaced by excitement and joy.

"Professor! I know that you must understand the romance of the big caliber!"

Lu Yongchang looked at Yevgeny with a strange expression: "...Let the big-caliber or something aside first, I want to ask you a question."

"Have you been to Sichuan, Xiaguo before?"

Yevgeny looked at Lu Yongchang with a blank look on his face: "???"

"Ahem! It's okay." Lu Yongchang smiled and reached out and patted Yevgeny on the shoulder, "When I have time, I recommend you to watch Sichuan Opera."

The confusion on Yevgeny's face became increasingly intense, but Wilson, who was beside him, couldn't help laughing at this moment.

"Do you know what I'm talking about?" Lu Yongchang raised his eyebrows and asked Wilson.

Wilson nodded quickly: "Of course, professor, I just watched Sichuan Opera some time ago, and it really... it looks quite similar!"

As he said that, he glanced at Evgeny with a strange look on his face.

Yevgeny: "???"

Although I don't know what the two were talking about, I feel offended.

"Okay!" Lu Yongchang, who was afraid that he would reveal his feelings if he continued to talk about it, quickly brought the topic back.

"Wilson, since you have experience, the research and development tasks of the new laser weapon will be handed over to you."

"As for more advanced energy weapons... don't worry now."

"First prepare the basic kinetic energy weapons."

...

After the research direction was established, professors and researchers on the side took sides.

People who have studied laser weapons automatically followed Wilson. As for those who have studied kinetic energy weapons, they naturally followed Lu Yongchang and Yevgeny.

Then, Wilson nodded to Lu Yongchang and left the laboratory with everyone.

As for Lu Yongchang, he took Yevgeny and the other researchers to walk towards another laboratory.

"Professor Lu, kinetic energy weapons...what type are you going to study?" Yevgeny asked in a low voice half a step behind.

"Is it a missile or something?"

Lu Yongchang frowned slightly.

"Start with the simplest electromagnetic rail gun."

“Missile…”

"Let's talk about it later."

The missiles currently used on Earth are still unknown how lethal they are to large starships.

Compared to missiles that rely on shock waves and fragments to cause major damage, the unpretentious electromagnetic railgun is a better choice.
