"Woo..." There was a roar of a large fan spinning at high speed in the test room, and a dazzling light connected the "seventeenth fallen angel" and the metal target in the test room like a rainbow.
As long as the metal target is lightly touched by Changhong, the part where it is will disappear directly, leaving a round hole with a smooth cut. Many round holes were superimposed, and the pitted edge of the metal target seemed to be bitten by a fierce beast. After a while, the entire target disappeared and turned into metal debris all over the place.
The level of development of individual weapons in the Gospel World has long ceased to be gunpowder technology, but Gaussian and particle beam technology. Among them, Gaussian technology, that is, electromagnetic ejection weapons, is basically in the phase-out stage.
This is not because the power of the Gauss weapon is not strong, but because the muzzle velocity and range of the projectile are not enough. There is no atmosphere and gravity in space, and any aircraft that arrives here will increase its speed to an incredible level. Gauss weapons, which were originally characterized by high speed and precision on the surface of the planet, are naturally not as popular as particle beam weapons here.
Although there is no explosion sound of gunpowder, the extremely fast rotation sound of the spherical machine gun still gives people an extremely shocking and dangerous sensory experience.
"Sherlock, you are a genius. What is this newly designed weapon called?" Coming out of the machine, Qin Lun looked at the immature military officer in front of him with satisfaction. He never hesitated to give words of praise to those who can help him people.
"The scientific name is 'AC Coaxial Coil Cannon', and the code name is 'Conical Phased Phalanx'." Sherlock curled his lips. As for a Gauss weapon that has fallen behind in space air combat, he doesn't have the kind of Qin Lun. enthusiasm.
The young and arrogant ordnance officer put his hand on the black sphere seven or eight meters high, felt the cool touch of composite metal, shrugged and said, "However, I prefer to call it 'Icy Storm'."
Vera, who had been watching Sherlock playing tricks all the time and seemed a little silent today, couldn't hold back her curiosity at this time, patted "Icy Storm", turned her head and asked unwillingly, "Sir, I really don't think about replacing the Gauss barrel. Is it a particle track? Let Sherlock make changes based on the original design... "
Hearing this, Sherlock couldn't help but glared at the beautiful girl lieutenant. Gauss weapons and particle beam weapons are fundamentally different, and it's so easy to change.
Qin Lun didn't immediately refuse. How to upgrade a weapon to the extreme is a matter for the ordnance officer, not the user. Even if he is a super shooter, the most he can do is to make the weapon exert the ultimate power within the design range.
"If it is replaced by the 'icy storm' of the particle track, can the particle beam be used to strike from a dead angle when necessary?" Qin Lun asked ponderingly.
"Impossible. The biggest advantage of particle weapons is that they can be locked and hit immediately, with high rate of fire and high precision. Also because of this feature, it is more 'direct' and cannot shoot from dead angles." Although Sherlock did not want to make any changes to "Icy Storm", But still dutifully said.
"However, Vera is right about one thing. Your mental power control is a bug ability, and with the vector jet port of 'Icy Storm', even if you switch to a particle beam device, it is difficult to have a dead angle."
Qin Lun's so-called dead-angle shooting actually refers to the arc shooting and trajectory refraction of Gauss bullets. Hearing the expected explanation, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
"Forget it. If the 'Icy Storm' loses its dead-end strike, it will be no different from other particle railguns, but the operation is more flexible." Qin Lun said lightly, "The design of the soldier mecha itself , is to deal with the enemy at medium and close range.
At this distance, with the high maneuverability of the mecha itself, it is a false concept to lock and hit. The muzzle velocity of Gauss weapon bullets is enough to deal with the enemy. For me, the 'Cold Storm' that can strike from a dead angle is the best configuration. "
"Well then, as long as you are satisfied!" Sherlock showed a bright smile, "By the way, sir, the weapons specially used to deal with Jannamer have also been made according to the characteristics of the descendant apostles. Would you like to take a look!"
"Okay!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he followed Sherlock into another high-security armory room with interest.
In this dust-free laboratory with a much smaller area, a silver spear more than 70 meters long and shaped like a medieval knight's gun lay quietly in a tempered glass box.
"That's it... so?" After being baptized by the gorgeous weapon of "Icy Storm", Qin Lun was a little surprised by the simple appearance of this spear, and couldn't help turning his head to ask, "Is there any other change inside the spear? ?”
"Hahaha!" Sherlock laughed out of shape, and lifted his chin triumphantly at the ugly Vera, "You lost, Vera! The commander really asked that, remember, breakfast in a stellar week ... Ouch!"
"You two guys bet me?" Qin Lun rewarded Sherlock with a chestnut, and turned to look at Vera angrily, "Be careful, I will tell Adjutant Dongyue!"
"Hehe, the officer is so gentle, he will definitely not complain like a child!" Vera hugged Qin Lun's arm with a smile, and gave Sherlock a hard look.
Qin Lun shook his head with a wry smile. After these two guys got acquainted with him, they became more and more relaxed. After so long, he also knew why there were so many male and female soldiers on the Faith.
It's not that the Gith people are exhausting their resources. In fact, after more than a thousand years of recuperation in the Scorpio galaxy, the Gith people still don't lack the population to organize a space fleet.
But after researching the half-biological, half-mechanical mecha, the Githians discovered that the younger the descendants, the higher their ability to sense Jannamer's biological tissues. After getting older, this talent will fade instead, so most of the pilots on the battleship who operate the semi-biological mechas and the ordnance officers responsible for maintaining the mechas are boys and girls.
"Sir, the power of this spear-type weapon does not lie in its design, but in the materials it uses." After laughing for a while, Sherlock finally said seriously, "Its materials are taken from the ejected matter of white dwarf stars. High-density, high-quality radiant metal."
"White dwarf?" Qin Lun was slightly taken aback, "Can this weapon be carried by a soldier's mecha? Will the performance of the mecha be affected?"
White dwarfs are late-life stars that are about the size of planets like Earth, but more massive than stars like the Sun. If white dwarfs develop further, they will become neutron stars and black holes.
Even with the development of science and technology to the level of the Githians, it is almost impossible to approach such an ultra-high density and mass celestial body.
"Yes, we have attached an anti-gravity device inside the gun body, so that the mecha can't carry it." Sherlock touched the glass case where the gun was placed, with a rare frenzy on his face, "However, its radiation is It will pass through the mecha and hurt the soldier driver inside. As long as you take it, the driver basically only has one day's lifespan.
At the beginning, it was by relying on this weapon that we broke through the siege of Jannamer and allowed civilization to continue in the Scorpio galaxy. At that time, the heroes of Ghis who voluntarily took it and went to the battlefield nicknamed it "the gun of no return", and replaced it with words that the commander could understand, that is "the gun of death". "
"Since this gun has strong radiation and can cause great damage to Jannamer's biological tissue, then the full biological mech we use..." Qin Lun frowned slightly. The descendant apostle is not a Ghis hero who can sacrifice himself, so it is impossible to use this kind of gun. thing.
"Sir, you misunderstood! The radiation of the Death Gun is fatal to Gith people, but it has no effect on the clones of Jannamer organisms and Gith Angels." Sherlock explained with a smile, "The Death Gun does not rely on radiation. Kill Jannamer."
"Oh?" Qin Lun raised his eyebrows, looked at the boy with interest, and waited for his further explanation.
"Jannamer itself survives by devouring the life and energy of planets. What it fears most is elemental radiation, even if this radiation comes from the ultra-high-density matter of white dwarf stars." Sherlock spread his hands and said with a smile.
"However, for Jannamer, the death gun is a kind of indigestible diamond. Once it is pierced into the core of a living body, it is like being forced into a stone in the heart. Can it prevent myocardial infarction?"
"Hehe!" Qin Lun was amused by Sherlock's easy-to-understand metaphor.
After seeing the death gun, he began to understand a little bit why the Ghisians, including the shrewd Captain Marquez, had great confidence in the apostles. Because even if the apostles don't have any special abilities, as long as they can drive the full biological mech carrying the death gun, it is a super weapon against Jannamer.
…
Three days later, on the bridge of the Faith, Captain Marquez stood upright in front of his seat, staring at the large projection screen in front with a serious expression, and the image on it was monitoring the ejection bay of the Faith.
There is a small warship with a dark body and a strange appearance, which is obviously different from other warships attached to the Faith. The armor plate on the surface of this battleship does not have the metallic luster of an ordinary battleship, but reveals a special texture of a biological body, crawling on the ejection track like a giant beast.
"Attack request to take off!" The air crew's slightly anxious voice sounded from the bridge.
"Approved to take off!" Seeing the inquiring eyes of the air crew, Captain Marquez heard that his beautiful adjutant was also on the battleship.
"Approve take-off, order the Assault to ignite, count down one minute for ejection, 59, 58, 57..."
"Boom!" As the ejection bay lit up with a dazzling brilliance, a long flame was drawn from the tail of the monster-like Assault battleship, and shot out of the hatch like a long arrow.
About ten light seconds away from Faith, a charming and dazzling space ripple appeared in front of the battleship. After a flash, the entire battleship penetrated into the superluminal dimension and disappeared into space.
