Chapter 105 Modified Gauss Rifle

On the big screen in front, such an image was playing: this UFO was like a flat disc, with the widest part in the middle about five kilometers, and the height from top to bottom was about two kilometers.

There was a huge hole with a diameter of more than six hundred meters below one side of the UFO! The surrounding metal materials were like broken glass, and were dented in an exaggerated way.

In the captain's room, the experts were discussing. A weapons expert pointed excitedly on the screen, "After it was hit by a powerful weapon, the entire engine equipment was completely destroyed. You see, these metal edges are relatively smooth because they were directly vaporized after being hit by high-energy weapons. And this hole is very likely the main reason for the crash of the UFO!"

"Fortunately, the engine did not explode after being hit!"

"And... these long spiral pipes may be ion cannons or laser weapons! Our robots tried it, and the disassembly work was very difficult..."

"Forced disassembly may cause damage to the weapon, but there are other ways..."

They discussed loudly and wanted to use robots to disassemble more useful things. It is difficult for people to imagine how many generations it has surpassed humans. How much people want to get these weapons. Seeing a little hope, they are unwilling to give up no matter what.

"See, this giant round tube with a diameter of 100 meters is most likely the main gun of the flying saucer! I don't know how powerful it is. It's a pity... it's completely damaged inside and we can't restore it."

"That's right! The inner ring area of ​​the flying saucer is completely closed. Our robots can't get in for the time being, but we can use this hole. There may be a place leading to the inner area!" An expert suddenly had an idea and shouted directly.

This is...

Yu Yifeng's heart also moved. Now that people have been looking for so long, they have found a lot of useful things. Everyone is more eager for the most complete inner ring area.

But people still haven't found a way to the inner ring. The solid doors seem to block all the roads. If... this hole is cleared, maybe you can find a loophole to get in!

The group of people discussed until noon and left with reluctance... After lunch, Yu Yifeng went directly to the laboratory where Yuriko was.

Yuriko did not join the Wild Wolf Design Bureau or Tesla, but joined the Transhuman Laboratory with her father.

Although the Transhuman Laboratory mainly studies biology, it also involves physics and chemistry. It can be said to be a comprehensive research institute. With their abilities, they should be able to obtain a good position.

"How is it, is the thing ready?" After such a long time of contact, both parties are more familiar with each other. Yu Yifeng was not polite and sat directly opposite Yuriko, picking up a few design drawings and looking at them.

Yuriko glanced at him, still focusing on the work on the computer, but still distractedly said: "It's roughly ready. Some professional rock climbing ropes are high-strength carbon fiber ropes and are very light. There are also corresponding catapult hooks. The maximum range is more than 400 meters under the gravity of Mars..."

Yu Yifeng took the special rope and pulled it hard a few times. Both the softness and toughness were very good.

He said, "How about the latest space suit? Any other problems? It must be done as soon as possible, we only have the last few days."

Yuriko nodded, stood up, took out a light space suit from a cabinet and handed it to Yu Yifeng.

"No problem... This space suit is much lighter than the previous ones, and has a good radiation protection effect. However, the nanomaterials inside cannot be mass-produced, so the manufacturing cost is very high... According to the previous calculation, it is at least more than 60 million US dollars!"

60 million US dollars? This cost can buy an airplane!

Yu Yifeng didn't care about this number. He put on the space suit directly and put on the glass helmet. It really felt very light.

When the inside is full of air, the clothes will bulge slightly piece by piece, and the whole feeling is equivalent to wearing a cotton coat. No matter what, it is much better than the previous space suits weighing dozens of kilograms.

Yuriko looked at Yu Yifeng and said, "There is not much oxygen reserve in the space suit. You must add an oxygen tank at the back to maintain it for a longer time." She took out a one-kilogram iron can and hung it on Yu Yifeng's back. "A can of oxygen can support about 6-8 hours, so you'd better bring a few more cans. If the space suit is damaged, the air will quickly escape from it, causing decompression and the risk of suffocation... This is the glue and materials for repair, put it in this interlayer, just in case." "And this is the injection port for medical supplies." The whole set of space suits weighs about 12 or 13 pounds, which is not particularly heavy. If you go to Mars, you have to subtract two-thirds, which is no different from ordinary clothes. Yu Yifeng waved his shoulders vigorously and bounced a few times. He still felt a little bit of obstruction, but it was not too big. He was very satisfied that human technology could do this. After some experiments, he took off the space suit again and put it on the table. "Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to some French fries some other day..." Yu Yifeng had already walked out of the lab while he was talking.

Yuriko sat there for a while, not knowing what she was thinking, and suddenly remembered something: "... Wait!"

"What else?" Yu Yifeng suddenly heard a shout and turned back.

She did not take up the topic, but walked to a password cabinet in silence. After entering a set of passwords, the cabinet was completely opened. There was a sealed box inside. She lifted it up with difficulty and handed it to Yu Yifeng.

"Take a look!" She said expressionlessly.

Yu Yifeng was not polite either. He took the box directly. His hand trembled and he almost dropped the box on the ground. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and stabilized it in time.

"It's so heavy", this was his first thought. According to the feel just now, it weighed a full 30 kilograms!

What is so heavy? Yu Yifeng thought curiously.

Put the box on the table and open it. It was a gun with a strange shape. The barrel was very long, about one meter long, with transparent glass on the outside and pipe-like spiral lines inside, full of weird beauty.

"What is this?"

"It should be a Gauss rifle, a particle beam weapon. We disassembled it from the wreckage of some robots, and reassembled and modified it. This rifle can easily penetrate high-strength armor!"

Yuriko said lightly: "Due to the limited materials collected, only two were assembled in total. According to calculations, each rifle has only the energy of six to seven bullets. We can't crack the mystery in the short term, and the bullets cannot be replenished..."

Hearing this, Yu Yifeng suddenly became excited and stroked the glass barrel with curiosity. This is a real alien weapon!

Although there are only six or seven bullets, he is also very satisfied. It is an unexpected surprise!

Gauss rifle, a type of particle beam cannon, is also a future weapon that scientists are studying. Its principle is easy to understand, that is, to use an electric field to accelerate charged particles to an extremely high level, and then eject them from the muzzle.

Although it is also a kinetic weapon, the Gauss rifle is much more powerful than the modern machine gun. For ordinary firearms, the initial velocity of the bullet is 300m/s or lower, but this speed can easily penetrate the human body.

The speed of rifles is higher, about 700-900m/s.

The speed of sniper rifles and heavy machine guns is even higher, about 800-1000m/s, which can penetrate the armor of some tanks!

But the speed of Gauss rifles is more than an order of magnitude higher!

Yuriko smiled slightly and said, "It can eject a series of charged protons, each of which has a speed close to the speed of light...about 0.9 times the speed of light. Because the battery energy of the gun itself is limited, we have no way to replenish it, so it only has the energy of six bullets."

"Although only dozens or hundreds of protons are ejected, each proton can easily overcome the Coulomb repulsion between nucleons and hit the target's atomic nucleus due to its extremely high speed. When the proton is forced into the nucleus and collides with the nucleus, a small nuclear fusion will occur."

"A series of high-energy protons will release energy equivalent to 20-30 kilograms of TNT explosion!"

Hearing this, Yu Yifeng opened his mouth wide. What an incredibly powerful weapon!
