Chapter 130 Plasma Cannon

When Yu Yifeng made up his mind, he suddenly had a sense of enlightenment. He was still thinking too much, and many conservative experts and scholars were also thinking too much. They still stood on the basis that humans are a weak civilization and played their roles tremblingly. How can they act well like this?

If humans are really a powerful civilization, how could they be so timid?

Think about it, when Americans face Filipinos who cross the border, even if they shoot first, the other party dare not say much, because Americans are more powerful. The same reason, the more aggressive you are, the more worried the other party is, and the less they dare to test you...

After all, the new human civilization cannot withstand temptation. Once it is tested, it will be exposed. It must be arrogant and tough to truly perform the momentum of a powerful civilization!

"Okay, no need to argue!" Yu Yifeng suddenly spoke, and the whole audience fell silent instantly.

"Fire a shot! It's decided. Xu Yunjin, you go to prepare the charging stage of the ion cannon!"

"Yes!" Xu Yunjin looked happy, saluted, and walked out quickly.

There is a real ion cannon on the Noah, which was removed from the Martian flying saucer. After being modified by humans, it can barely be used. The core part of this ion cannon is provided by alien creations, but its acceleration pipeline is designed by humans. It is 33 kilometers long and requires a lot of electricity to fire one shot.

Due to the failure of many technologies such as energy systems and superconducting systems, its power may be only one-tenth of the original, but it doesn’t matter, it only needs to deter the opponent.

People don’t know which one is more powerful between the Martian flying saucer and this unknown alien civilization, nor do they know the technical content of the ion cannon, and whether it will be exposed because it is too low-end. But think about it carefully, the ion cannon is like human firearms. It should be considered a relatively conventional space weapon, and the probability of being directly eliminated is relatively small.

Just like human firearms, more than a hundred years have passed, and there is actually very little progress. It is still a gunpowder kinetic weapon, and people are still using it.

"Such shooting requires extremely high precision and a lot of calculations, and we must master it well." Yu Yifeng said seriously, "Go find Mr. Li Wu!"

To fire an ion cannon to a place 310 billion kilometers away, extremely high precision is required, which is a big challenge for humans. This cannonball, which is close to the speed of light, needs seven or eight days of sailing to reach the predetermined location.

Moreover... the alien spacecraft is constantly moving, and even the images that people have observed so far are from more than ten days ago. People need to constantly calculate the future trajectory of the alien spacecraft to adjust the target of the ion cannon.

Such ultra-high precision things must be completed by super engineer Li Wu.

People only have the opportunity to fire one shot. If they fire too many, the other party will think it is a war... But firing one shot, and occupying the right situation, should not be a big problem...

Yu Yifeng's requirement is that this ion cannon should appear within 100,000 kilometers of the alien spacecraft. In other words, the diameter of this target is about 200,000 kilometers.

200,000 kilometers, this requirement does not seem high, but in fact, it is ridiculously high!

At present, humans cannot accurately calculate the position of alien spacecraft, because the propagation speed of light is limited. The images that humans see are all from more than ten days ago, and this alien spacecraft is constantly changing speed. How can humans fight if they don’t even know the specific position of the other party?

Moreover, the universe is really too vast. "A slight error can lead to a thousand miles of error" is not a joke. As long as the muzzle moves up or down by a micron or even a nanometer, and deviates slightly from the angle, this error will be magnified by hundreds of billions or trillions of times, and the distance may be hundreds of millions of kilometers away!

If this happens, the problem will be serious... If alien civilizations detect this shot with a huge error, what will they think? They will definitely doubt why human technology is so rubbish? How can a shot deviate by hundreds of millions of kilometers? This kind of suspicion should be avoided the most.

Therefore, Li Wu has a great responsibility. He can't let the human disguise leak!

His heart has been tense all the time. Even making helium-3 nuclear bombs has never made him so nervous. This shot is an important part of the entire "camouflage" plan, and even related to the lives of all mankind. He can't be careless! But Li Wu has nothing to complain about. He rushed over immediately after receiving the notice. This kind of thing is his responsibility!

The computer has already aimed at the approximate direction, and in fact, it only needs to fine-tune a little bit. What he has to do is to wait for an inspiration, or an intuition.

Nowadays, humans don't even know the specific location of the alien spacecraft. Everything is estimated... Well, this requires a certain degree of accuracy, which seems to be a bit difficult. In addition to using his unique sensitive intuition, everything is unreliable.

He can only rely on intuition, or his special ability, to gamble...

This can be said to be the biggest challenge in Li Wu's life. Gradually, he fell into a strange state. His heart became calm, his heartbeat frequency became consistent, and he kept catching that hint of inspiration.

Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes... Li Wu has not moved for half an hour, just standing in the control room of the ion cannon.

Everyone stood more than ten meters away, not daring to breathe. Zhao Yao, Xu Yunjin and other soldiers stood straight, and the rest of the people were also motionless. The atmosphere was very strange, and everyone was very nervous. Several scientists with faster heartbeats walked out automatically. Then, more and more people walked out of the control room, fearing that their breathing and heartbeat would affect Li Wu.

Yu Yifeng just waited quietly. He knew Li Wu's character and it was absolutely impossible for him to be absent or sleep. All they had to do was trust and wait patiently.

Finally, after another ten minutes, Li Wu seemed to wake up. He looked focused, his muscles stiff, and stared at the screen.

Inspiration... appeared! At this moment, he gathered all his muscles and slammed the switch of the ion cannon!

"Buzz!" With a sound, a large amount of electrical energy gathered in the electromagnetic pipe. At this moment, the power system of Noah was somewhat overloaded, and all the lights in the entire spacecraft flashed several times.

At this time, the power station of Noah had been fully turned on and was at full load, but it still could not withstand the peak power of this ion cannon, which shows how terrifying its energy consumption was!

Then, a beam of burning white light shot out from the muzzle. It was also a high-energy particle beam, but this one was more than ten thousand times more powerful than the Gauss rifle. This string of proton beams had more number and was closer to the speed of light!

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the closer matter is to the speed of light, the more energy it needs. The power of this ion cannon is comparable to a small nuclear bomb!

"How is it?" Yu Yifeng hurried over and asked.

"... I don't know, but it shouldn't be too bad." Li Wu scratched his head hesitantly. He really didn't know what the result would be.

Everyone was talking and whispering to each other. Now everything that should be done has been done. Do your best and leave it to fate. The only thing left is to wait...
