Beneath Deep Space

Chapter 106 Final Preparations

When a high-energy proton beam hits a target, if it hits the target's atomic nucleus, a series of nuclear reactions will occur, releasing a large amount of energy. Even if it does not hit the atomic nucleus, it will melt the target and produce a huge explosion. Moreover, after hitting the target, a secondary magnetic field will occur to destroy the target.

Such power is certainly not comparable to a real large nuclear bomb. The explosion of a nuclear bomb is at least calculated in 100,000 tons or 1 million tons of TNT. But this Gauss rifle is much larger than other conventional weapons.

For example, the charge of a 67-type wooden-handled grenade is only 38 grams of TNT, which can be exaggerated to 50 grams.

Such a shot is equivalent to the power of 400 grenades exploding at the same time! Therefore, the safe distance for shooting must be at least 200 meters, otherwise it may blow itself up!

"It is very good for long-range sniping."

Yu Yifeng stroked the barrel of the gun. You must be careful with such a weapon. You cannot shoot at close range. You must remember this.

The best thing is that its bullets are extremely fast, almost close to the speed of light. When aiming, there is no need to calculate the lead time or trajectory. As long as you fire the gun, it will explode immediately at the designated target and it is impossible to be intercepted!

Yu Yifeng was very happy to get this gun. After all, he was a soldier before and liked this high-performance weapon very much. People in their special forces have the same feeling as him.

The other one should belong to sniper Shen Jie, who has the best shooting accuracy.

It’s a pity that there is no third one... He has already imagined the resentful and sour expressions of Zhao Yao and Xu Yunjin...

When Yu Yifeng came out from Yuriko, he was holding two modified Gauss rifles in his hands.

Although one weighed 30 kilograms, it was a bit inconvenient, but as long as he got off the spacecraft, the gravity would immediately be reduced by two-thirds, and this weight would be no problem.

This Gauss rifle that ejects high-speed protons actually has certain limitations. Like lasers, it is not suitable for fighting in an atmosphere. Because the atmospheric molecules will absorb a lot of the energy of the bullet, there is a certain blocking effect.

Fortunately, the atmosphere on Mars is relatively thin, so it can be used for a while.

Yu Yifeng took a deep breath. Their exploration team of ten people will face a huge challenge this time. Because the levels of the two civilizations are quite different...

Scientists have conducted weapons experiments on alien materials. Conventional rifle bullets hit them, leaving only a shallow dent, which also means that human conventional weapons are likely to be unable to cause damage to the facilities inside.

However, nuclear bombs can still destroy them...This is also a point that makes Yu Yifeng feel a little relieved. At least nuclear bombs are still useful.

They can't use nuclear bombs to explore UFOs. They can only use conventional weapons in the 21st century...If a battle really happens, it will be like the Polish cavalry in World War II using swords to chop tanks. It will inevitably fail without suspense.

Yu Yifeng and his team originally planned to carry heavy weapons such as howitzers and rocket launchers. No matter what, they will increase the power first. But now with these two alien weapons, they can carry fewer heavy weapons, which makes them a lot easier.

He stroked the Gauss rifle and really wanted to test the power by firing, but he still endured it. This kind of ammunition cannot be replenished. One less shot means one less shot. It can't be wasted!

"We have done two shooting experiments. The initial velocity of protons is 0.9 times the speed of light, and the acceleration time is about 0.0086 seconds. That is, after firing, the delay time of the bullet is 0.0086 seconds."

"The mass of protons is very small, so the recoil of the gun is almost non-existent. If we are given one or two years, we should be able to thoroughly explore the entire gun structure... At that time, we can make our own Gauss rifle."

"Please be careful..."

The above is what Yuriko said when she handed the weapon to Yu Yifeng. Yu Yifeng also heard a little concern, and his heart was warmed immediately.

They naturally couldn't wait for one or two years as Yuriko said. Even if they could wait, the scientists were going crazy.

Anyway, they were not going to fight, but just to explore the risks and see what was in the inner ring area. If it didn't work, they could withdraw.

"... Yuriko, thank you!" Yu Yifeng carried a box in each hand, and couldn't free his hands, so he could only shrug his shoulders and walked out of the laboratory.

Yuriko sat there in a daze again. It took her a long time to realize that the person had actually left. She lowered her head again and indulged in her work.

In fact, she was not as stupid as she seemed. Her mind was very flexible, and sometimes she was curious about what kind of person Yu Yifeng, the leader of the new human race, was.

Yuriko had secretly used "mind reading" on Yifeng, but... she failed. She only saw a blazing sun, which gave people a very warm feeling.

"Maybe, superhumans are really different..." she thought secretly.

At this time, Yu Yifeng was in the training room, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he got some bad news: when digging up the UFO, scientists had found a small amount of energy fluctuations in the big hole.

This fluctuation was specious, and scientists couldn't figure out whether it was a mismeasurement. It might be that they were scaring themselves, or there might be a working machine inside.

In any case, they had to prepare for the worst, and the inner ring area might be dangerous.

At this time, it was impossible for them to give up...

"The departure date is in two days. Please finish everything quickly in these days. If you have any last words to write, please write them quickly. Do you understand?" Yu Yifeng shouted to the members of the expedition team.

"Understood!"

Everyone answered loudly, excited and a little scared.

Of course they are afraid of death, but think about the leader of Noah is in the team, what are you afraid of!

Wills are a tradition in the military and must be written before performing high-risk missions. However, these nine team members have no family, so this step is a bit dispensable. Just say a few words to friends and say goodbye.

"Now start to distribute expedition equipment, everyone get familiar with the new equipment in advance!"

This step is also the most exciting for everyone. Which soldier doesn't like new equipment and new weapons?

With Yu Yifeng's order, an equipment vehicle slowly drove over and delivered space suits, medicines, oxygen cylinders, ropes, walkie-talkies, and a large number of weapons to each member.

Everyone's equipment is different because everyone has different responsibilities. Some are in charge of medical treatment, some are responsible for cutting and disassembly, and some are responsible for firepower alert.

Like Zhao Yao holding a rocket launcher, it is thick and has strong anti-armor capabilities. But such a big guy is still not as powerful as the Gauss rifle of alien civilization.

Zhao Yao looked at Shen Jie depressedly, with a face full of resentment. Well, he didn't count on the Gauss rifle in Yu Yifeng's hand, but why did this skinny Shen Jie count on it? Just because he can aim accurately?

Although both of them are members of the special forces and have been comrades for several years, Zhao Yao is still unhappy.

This is an alien weapon, he has been looking forward to it for many years!

Now he couldn't even touch it, how could he feel happy? He could only say depressedly: "My last words are as follows: If I die, I hope to be buried with a Gauss rifle..."

"Okay, you have too many things to do!"

Yu Yifeng laughed and scolded: "When we come back, I'll let you touch this gun for a few days... and then return it to the laboratory!"

"Really!" Zhao Yao's eyes lit up immediately, and he kept silent this time, fearing that others would have such last words and share his privileges.

Everyone put on their space suits and started various training.

Their training room is located on the Noah, which is equivalent to the low gravity area of ​​Mars. They have adapted to it for many days in advance. Now they have to wear their equipment and adapt to the last two days.

Two days later, they will officially set off!
