I Am a Great Scientist

Chapter 358: Electromagnetic railgun

Views:

Mushroom clouds rose into the sky, and huge shock waves swept across the area. The mushroom clouds in the sky lingered for a long time. The whole world was waiting for the US military to confirm the results of the nuclear bomb attack. (The nuclear warhead of the "Destroyer" is a hydrogen bomb, which is a hard-killing nuclear weapon. The lethality of a nuclear bomb can be divided into hard-killing power and soft-killing power. Hard-killing power refers to the damage caused by its shock wave, and soft-killing power refers to its radiation power and other side effects.)

The atmosphere in the command room of the Grand Canyon Theater was filled with a suffocating and depressing atmosphere.

General Stone, Professor Manley, and all the representative observers stared at the surveillance screen with their big eyes, with the same expression on their faces, looking pale and in disbelief as if they had seen a ghost.

I saw on the surveillance screen that after the nuclear explosion, the huge mass in the sky was still floating in the sky, but its height had dropped slightly. However, it seemed that it had not been harmed overall.

"Why! Why on earth! Why is it okay?"

"What the hell! Can't even a nuclear bomb kill it?"

"Oh God! How could this happen!"

“…”

Nuclear bombs are mankind's last trump card, but they have no effect on the mothership giant worm. For a moment, representatives from various countries observed that they could not accept this fact, and they screamed with anger, despair, and helplessness.

Seeing everyone losing control of their emotions, Zhou Xing couldn't help but sigh with regret. The result was exactly what he had guessed before! System tasks of S task difficulty are indeed not that easy to complete!

"How can we kill it now?"

Zhou Xing stared at the large surveillance screen, frowning and thinking deeply.

Seeing Zhou Xing staring at the big screen in a thoughtful state, General Ston's frantic expression on the side couldn't help but relax.

General Ston looked at Zhou Xing for help and asked eagerly: "Zhou, why, why can't nuclear bombs kill it? Why on earth?"

"Yes! Zhou, isn't it a living creature? Why can it remain unharmed under the attack of a nuclear bomb?" Professor Manli looked at Zhou Xing at a loss, unable to accept this fact that subverted common sense.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Xing's face, anxiously waiting for the answer.

Zhou Xing frowned and thought for a moment, then explained to everyone: "Based on the huge size of the mothership giant insect and its ability to store a huge number of troops in its body, it is speculated that it should belong to a species that can survive in the cosmic environment. Therefore, Its body surface structure should have functions such as high temperature resistance, radiation resistance, strong density, etc., or its body surface should have a material similar to an energy shield to protect the body. Therefore, if a nuclear bomb explodes on its body surface, it may not be able to cause harm to it. . ”

"this… "

After listening to Zhou Xing's analysis, everyone looked at each other and their hearts sank. This possibility was too great.

"What should we do? Mr. Zhou, do you have a way to kill it?" Chen Lin's expression tightened and he asked impatiently.

"Yes! Zhou, now that the mothership giant worm has separated from its mother clan, will it soon evolve in the direction of the mother worm like the ground-burrowing giant worm?" Professor Manli looked at Zhou Xing and asked anxiously.

After listening to Professor Manli's words, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, and then realized that such a problem still existed.

Zhou Xing nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, this mothership giant worm broke away from its mother clan. With its size and ability, it should not take a month to evolve into a complete mother worm. Therefore, it There is not much time left for us.”

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

"Zhou, how confident are you with this guess?" General Ston was shocked and asked Zhou Xingdao.

"General, I am 100% sure of this theory. The size and ability of the giant mothership insect are far more terrifying than that of the giant burrowing insect. The genetic lock in its body should open faster. It will take almost a month." Zhou Xing met General Ston's gaze and said loudly.

After a moment of pause, Zhou Xing continued to introduce: "General, when the mothership giant worm evolves into a completed mother worm, it is unknown what terrifying abilities it will acquire. However, the mothership giant worm is so difficult to deal with. If we let it I’m afraid we won’t be able to eliminate the evolved mother worm. By then, we humans may become food for the giant insect species, and the earth will become another insect planet.”

After listening to Zhou Xing's words, everyone present remembered the scene they saw from the black box, and their expressions all changed and they were frightened.

Professor Manli looked at Zhou Xing with a pale face and asked impatiently: "Zhou, you still have a way to kill it, right?"

Hearing this, everyone who was originally in despair could not help but be shocked, and they all looked at Zhou Xing as a savior.

"Zhou, since you know so much about the Mothership Giant Insect, have you already figured out a way to kill it?"

"That's right! That's right! Zhou, you have a solution, right?"

"Zhou, we can only count on you now!"

“…”

The observers representing various countries seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and would not let go. They all looked at Zhou Xingwen expectantly.

Facing everyone's gaze, Zhou Xing smiled bitterly, nodded and said: "I have come up with a few ways to deal with it, but I'm afraid the effect is not very good!"

Hearing this, everyone cheered up and looked at Zhou Xing with surprise. In the face of enemies that even nuclear bombs could not defeat, Zhou Xing actually came up with several ways to defeat them. No matter how effective they were, they could only worship the intelligence of such a monster.

"Zhou, no matter what the effect is, as long as we can kill it as soon as possible, we are willing to try." General Ston looked at Zhou Xing and asked impatiently.

Zhou Xing nodded, looked at General Ston and introduced: "Well, since the outer shell of the mothership giant insect has the ability to resist high temperature, radiation, and heat... we can try to attack it in other ways. Use a large kinetic energy kill weapon and look at its physical defenses."

Hearing this, General Ston perked up, looked at Zhou Xing with bright eyes, and asked: "Zhou, what do you mean..."

"Yes, we can try to use a giant electromagnetic rail gun." Zhou Xing nodded, interrupting General Ston's words with a smile.

After hearing Zhou Xing's words, the eyes of all the representative observers lit up.

The electromagnetic railgun is an advanced kinetic energy killing weapon that uses electromagnetic force to generate kinetic energy to propel projectiles. Unlike traditional cannons that apply gunpowder gas pressure to projectiles, the electromagnetic railgun uses the force of the electromagnetic field in the electromagnetic system, and its action time requires Much longer, greatly increasing the speed and range of metal projectiles.

The electromagnetic railgun consists of two parallel rails. The projectile is sandwiched between the two rails. The two rails are connected to the power supply. The current flows through one rail to the projectile and then to the other rail to generate a strong magnetic field. The magnetic field interacts with the current to produce a strong magnetic field. The Lorentz force pushes the projectile to a very high speed (theoretically it can reach sub-light speed), and the rail gun has an amazing penetrating lethality.

In the development plan of mankind's future weapons, electromagnetic railguns have become an increasingly important part.

"Electromagnetic railgun, you can try this method!"

"That's right, that's right. The energy defense capability of the Mothership Giant Insect is so good, but the physical defense may be weaker!"

"Oops! Why didn't I think of that! It would be perfect to use an electromagnetic railgun to kill it."

“…”

Everyone nodded and supported Zhou Xing's idea.
