NOVEL NEXT Chapter 41 Energy Weapons
It is said that the history of mankind is actually a history of war.
With the development of human civilization, there are more and more categories of weapons.
Cold weapons, firearms, artillery, armored combat vehicles, ships. These are classified according to type.
There is also a classification based on the mode of action, chemical weapons, biological weapons, kinetic weapons, and energy weapons!
Energy weapons are not absent in modern times. In layman's terms, this is a system that converts energy into weapons and enhances them, such as laser weapons, ray weapons, and particle beam weapons.
In most people's minds, energy weapons mean powerful attack power, shocking visual and sound effects.
But in fact, this is all the result of misleading science fiction movies.
Real energy weapons are used for long-distance precision strikes, directional large-scale killing, and missile defense. Since the "bullets" used are energy, they often have no redundant light effects, and even the sound cannot make you heard.
However, the technology of human civilization is limited by various issues such as materials, energy consumption, and miniaturization, which means that energy weapons have always been in the experimental stage, and there is no possibility of fielding them in a short time.
But the mechanical race put energy weapons in [Fire] as a sign of reaching a certain standard.
In fact, when the mechanical clan's fire energy reaches 5%, an exclusive fighting weapon can be unlocked. Currently, there are only two models, which are the alloy sword unlocked by No. 0 and the alloy sword of Thunder Fire.
These weapons seem to be made of some unknown alloy, but in fact they should contain fire energy.
You know, this fire energy is a more mysterious form of energy than nuclear fusion energy.
Use it to participate in the completed weapon, and the effect can be imagined.
The skin of the Octopus Shark is also tough, but it is as fragile as tofu in front of Thunder Fire's alloy sword. This is also why.
But that's actually just the initial form.
Apart from being hard and sharp, it has no other characteristics.
If the mechanical tribe only uses these as weapons, it would be too low-level.
Therefore, when reaching 10% of the fire energy, Zero has an energy weapon.
It was an energy pistol installed on the left wrist.
That's right, the unit is "mouth".
Because its barrel is very thick, it is said to be a pistol, but in fact it is more like a hand cannon.
But according to the information given by Huozhong, its name is "Cybot Energy Pistol" and it has three modes: single shot, continuous shot and energy storage.
A single shot means firing one shot at a time, but even so, the power of a single shot is much stronger than most individual combat weapons today. A single shot can smash a small car to pieces.
The power of a single energy bomb in a burst is slightly weaker than that of a single shot, but the advantage is that it is fast enough, the barrages are dense, and it is a fire coverage type.
The upper and lower limits of energy storage are large. The lower limit is the power of a single shot, while the upper limit changes with the time of energy storage and the amount of energy invested in the energy storage process.
In other words, the longer the energy storage time, the greater the power.
Since fire energy is hard to come by, Zero did not easily try higher energy levels.
He only charged up a charged attack that consumed about 0.1% of the fire energy. After being launched, the power was equivalent to that of a short-range missile, which was enough to level a two- or three-story building.
The unlocking of energy weapons gives Zero the ability to truly protect himself.
To put it bluntly, his current individual combat power is no less than that of a small and medium-sized modern combat formation.
Now, even if he exposes his existence and attracts the covetous attention of the Luyuan Star Federation Council, the other party will have to carefully evaluate whether it is more cost-effective to eliminate him or to cooperate with him.
If you eliminate him, you may get nothing, but it will also consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and even the lives of the soldiers.
If you cooperate, although it may be risky, you can obtain the technology of the mechanical clan from him and develop your own technology.
And all of this stems from force.
Force is the prerequisite for peace and the confidence at the negotiation table!
There is no truly fair cooperation between the weak and the strong!
In addition to energy weapons, these days, Zero has also discovered another ability of himself and Thunderfire.
In other words, it is the innate ability of the mechanical race - or it may be the ability of [Fire].
They can actually absorb other energy from the natural environment to replenish fire energy!
Although the replenishment speed is very slow, it is far inferior to swallowing mineral energy and the like.
But it does exist.
However, in order to follow his father who gave him a new life and to restore the glory of mechanical civilization, Number Zero will naturally not be satisfied with the efficiency of natural absorption alone.
Therefore, he still kept shopping and eating.
——
Finally, there are Shi Ming and Qin Huang.
As expected, Emperor Qin was right.
What they originally planned actually took a new turn!
A few days after that day's visit to Sebot Auto's factory, they received a direct order from the Federal Parliament.
In the order, this group of people was dispatched to a new mechanical research institute.
And their first task is to study some new weapons, new vehicles, and new aircraft!
These things are much more powerful than those currently used by the Luyuan Star Federation, and some are directly improved on the original basis.
Once the research and development is successful, the federal parliament can go deep into heavily polluted areas and conduct in-depth investigations into these areas that humans have not set foot in for decades.
After the cataclysm, the human survival area has been suppressed to less than half of the planet.
After so many years, resources have gradually begun to become scarce.
The resource crisis is urgent.
Although this is not in line with Shi Ming's dream of going to heaven, he believes that this is a good start.
Because just a few days after joining the work of this research institute, Emperor Qin handed him something.
Design drawings of mechanical exoskeleton armor!
This is a kind of armor that can improve a soldier's individual abilities in all aspects. After an ordinary soldier puts it on, he can instantly transform into a tough guy who uses a telephone pole as a stick.
The mechanical exoskeleton armor can also be equipped with intelligent systems to assist the soldiers wearing it to complete more operations.
When the time comes, even ordinary soldiers can transform into special forces.
This is the first generation of exoskeleton armor used by the Daqin Iron Cavalry of the Great Qin Dynasty. The light alloy steel raw materials used and the isotope battery energy used are achievable technologies for this world.
It should be the most suitable armor to launch at the moment.
There are two benefits to launching this armor.
First, it can naturally help Shi Ming gain power and status quickly. With these, he will have more self-allocation rights and autonomy to realize his ideals better.
Emperor Qin could also better complete the tasks assigned to him by his Majesty.
Secondly, it is for the future!
