Chapter 233 The Power of the High Energy Ion Beam(1/2)
One week later.
Mars spaceport.
Wilson looked feverishly at the behemoth ship outside the porthole.
That is the Luanniao starship that has been transformed twice.
At the very front of the starship are the barrels of five electromagnetic coil guns.
On the left and right sides, there are six laser generators with a radius of 9.5 meters. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
As for the ion beam weapon, it was installed on the top of the Luanniao starship.
Although the appearance is a little ugly, there is no doubt about the firepower of this Luanniao starship. It is definitely the most powerful weapon system in mankind at present, bar none!
"Professor, how are you going to test its power?"
Wilson rubbed his hands excitedly, turned his head and asked expectantly.
As the developer of two...no, one and a half weapons, Wilson is naturally full of expectations for this weapon system test.
Lu Yongchang turned his head and pursed his lips toward the other porthole: "Here, the test target is over there."
Wilson followed Lu Yongchang's gaze.
"..." He stared blankly at the so-called "test target" in the distance.
A few seconds later, Wilson's exclamation sounded in the Mars spaceport.
"Lu, Professor Lu?"
"Are you sure you want to use a Luanniao-1 starship as a target?!!"
Outside the porthole, a Luanniao starship with a slightly dilapidated surface was seen. Several streaks of faint blue flames were emitted from its tail, and it slowly sailed into the deep sky.
"certainly."
Lu Yongchang nodded noncommittally: "As the main weapon in the future, I must know its power accurately."
"Otherwise, we will suffer big losses in future interstellar wars."
"What's more..." He laughed self-deprecatingly: "We can't imagine that the weapons we worked so hard to produce can't even cut through the starships built a few years ago, right?"
Wilson swallowed hard and looked at Lu Yongchang beside him with horror.
Crazy, so crazy!
Although the Luanniao 1 starship is an "old starship" manufactured a few years ago, it is still the main starship of human civilization at present!
"Calm down, the new starship will be out soon."
"These old guys will eventually embark on the road of reinvention."
Speaking of this, Lu Yongchang lowered his head and looked at the holographic image on the console.
3000 kilometers.
"It's too close." Lu Yongchang said in a deep voice, "Extend the distance to 50,000 kilometers!"
"receive."
The moment the voice fell, the faint blue flame at the tail of the old Luanniao starship instantly grew in size.
Under Zero's control, this Luanniao starship sailed 50,000 kilometers away without hesitation!
"Fifty thousand kilometers...Professor, is it too far?" Wilson sat on the chair and said anxiously, "This is already the limit attack range of laser weapons and ion beam weapons."
Lu Yongchang raised his head and stared through the porthole at the distant starry sky.
"Not far."
…
"Ding dong."
A crisp reminder sounded in the space port.
"The target starship has arrived at its destination and can start testing at any time."
Lu Yongchang's expression suddenly became serious.
He put 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 changed direction.
For safety reasons, the entire test was controlled remotely.
After all, no one knows whether those high-energy weapons will cause accidents.
[Locking target...]
A line of Chinese characters appeared in the holographic image in front of Lu Yongchang.
The next moment, the Chinese characters quietly changed.
【Target locked!】
[High-energy pulse laser array, start!]
Six red "light spots" lit up instantly on both wings of the starship!
That's when the laser generator starts to accumulate energy!
The energy storage time is 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 each fired 10 high-energy lasers.
A total of 60 high-energy lasers rush towards the target at the speed of light!
0.167 seconds later, the high-energy laser beam spanned a distance of 50,000 kilometers and hit the armor of the Luannia starship hard!
laugh!!
In just an instant, a huge hole appeared where the laser was irradiated!
The Luanniao starship's armor melted!
"What was the result of the battle?" Lu Yongchang asked in a deep voice.
The holographic projection unfolds again.
The picture captured by the camera was presented in front of the two people.
On the Luanniao starship fifty thousand kilometers away, six more round holes suddenly appeared!
"Penetrating injury..." Wilson muttered to himself, excitement gradually spreading on his face.
"Successful! Professor, the laser weapon I designed was successful!"
Lu Yongchang's eyes also showed a bit of excitement.
The power of high-energy laser weapons far exceeds his imagination!
"Zero, continue testing ion beam weapons!" He took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said.
"Copy that." Zero's voice was as calm as ever.
Unlike laser weapons, the emission of ion beam weapons cannot be seen by the human eye, just like humans cannot see solar storms.
But in the holographic image in front of us, in the two small particle accelerators on the top of the starship, countless heavy ions are accelerating crazily under the influence 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 speed of heavy ions reaches 50% of the speed of light, they are sent into a long and narrow tube.
There is a magnetic field throughout the pipe.
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 flashes continuously.
0.33 seconds later.
High-energy ion beams bombarded the armor of the Luanniao starship!
Unlike laser weapons that float on the surface, high-energy ions penetrate directly into the thick armor of the Luanniao starship.
Although 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 Luannia starship increased sharply!
Bang!
Under the intense heat, the starship's armor exploded from the inside out!
Viewed from the outside, it looks like an explosion occurred inside the starship!
To be continued...
