Chapter 437 Starship: "Battering Ram"

"Plasma... cannon?"

Looking at the huge muzzle in the holographic projection, Cao Liangcai's eyes went straight.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

"Professor, let me first ask, what is the size of this thing?" He swallowed and said with difficulty.

"Size?" Lu Yongchang shrugged and reached out to operate the holographic projection again.

"...A muzzle with a diameter of one hundred meters?!" Cao Liangcai's face was distorted and he exclaimed loudly, "Are you fucking kidding me?!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized the problem.

He smiled and apologized to Lu Yongchang: "Ahem, professor, that's not what I meant."

As for Tao Yuda on the side, he had a similar reaction, but he suppressed the urge to swear.

Lu Yongchang, on the other hand, looked at the two people's reactions with a smile.

To be honest, he was not surprised by such a reaction.

When he saw this extremely violent weapon in the technology tree system, he had the same reaction.

"What kind of cannon is this!"

"It's just a small starship!"

Tao Yuda complained in a low voice: "Isn't it almost as big as Xuannv No. 2?"

"More than that." Cao Liangcai looked at the size above and did some quick mental calculations, "It's far more than Xuannv No. 2."

Lu Yongchang raised his eyebrows sharply: "Hey! How do you know that I designed a starship for this cannon?"

Tao Yuda: "???"

Cao Liangcai: "?!!"

What shocking speech?

A starship specially designed for a cannon?

Before the two of them could react, Lu Yongchang reached out and slid the holographic image in front of him.

In the holographic screen, a 3D simulation of a new type of warship appeared.

The starship is in the shape of a slender cylinder as a whole, with a length of 500 meters and a diameter of about 150 meters.

Compared with other starships, it is considered mini.

But compared with other weapons, it is a veritable big brother!

The eyes of Tao Yuda and the two men quickly focused on the head of the starship.

The cannon muzzle with a diameter of one hundred meters almost completely occupies the head space of the starship.

"I named it [Battering Ram]."

"As the name suggests." Lu Yongchang said excitedly, "its main function is to violently crack the magnetic field shield or plasma shield of the enemy's secondary flagship and flagship."

"The cracking principle is very simple."

"With the extremely powerful instantaneous output power, the enemy ship's shield generating device can be quickly overloaded."

"Therefore, the entire starship has only one weapon, the plasma cannon."

"The remaining components, apart from the starship shell, are probably the only remaining components are the large fusion reactor and the Hall thruster nozzle."

Speaking of this, Lu Yongchang shook his head with some regret: "Unfortunately, according to Zero's simulation test, this starship will most likely only have one chance to attack in actual combat, so it can only be controlled by Zero."

Tao Yuda looked at the seriously unbalanced starship in the picture, and the corners of his mouth twitched crazily.

Can this also be called designing a starship?

It's better to change the description.

We ingeniously installed an engine on the cannon so that it can fly freely in the universe.

This statement may be more appropriate!

Tao Yuda complained crazily in his heart about what Lu Yongchang had done.

"so."

"What is the working principle of this plasma cannon?" Tao Yuda took a deep breath and changed the topic to another direction, "Is it still a plasma bomb?"

"Of course not!" As if he felt he was being questioned, Lu Yongchang's tone of voice was obviously raised by a degree.

"Are you kidding? I didn't build such a big thing just to launch a few pitiful, weak plasma bombs!"

Seeing the confused looks in Cao Liangcai and Tao Yuda's eyes, Lu Yongchang slowed down his tone and explained.

"Cannon."

"The ratio of barrel length to caliber is large. Overall, its barrel is thin and long."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Liangcai and Tao Yuda's expressions suddenly became strange.

The two of them turned their attention to the holographic screen in front of them.

You call a barrel with a diameter of one hundred meters thin?

Moreover, they didn’t see how long the so-called barrel was?!

"Professor, this barrel is different from what you said." Cao Liangcai said with an embarrassed look, "Did you... say it wrong?"

Cao Liangcai's question made the excitement on Lu Yongchang's face increase again!

He waved his hand!

"Who said the barrel isn't long?!"

The holographic screen switches instantly.

"The entire barrel is composed of a continuous magnetic field."

"The overall length can reach more than one hundred kilometers!"

"What you see is just the base of the cannon."

Numb.

Cao Liangcai and Tao Yuda said they were completely numb.

What kind of wild idea is this?

Lu Yongchang obviously did not give the two people any buffering time and continued to introduce.

"The plasma cannon, as the name suggests, its ammunition is extremely powerful plasma, which is a high-temperature plasma flow."

"The gun barrel composed of a magnetic field can smoothly restrain these plasma flows and even provide them with a steady stream of acceleration, allowing them to exit the barrel faster."

As he spoke, the holographic projection screen changed again.

A translucent gun barrel gradually extends outward from the turret.

In the blink of an eye, the length of this so-called gun barrel reached one hundred kilometers.

In comparison, the turret at the end of the barrel has become a black spot the size of a sesame seed.

Now, as Lu Yongchang said, the ratio of barrel length to caliber is indeed large.

Tao Yuda put his hand on his forehead, feeling that his world view had been severely impacted.

He spoke with difficulty: "Professor, how are you going to make such a long magnetic field gun barrel?"

"Our magnetic field shield generation unit cannot be effective at such a long distance."

"Good question!"

Lu Yongchang shouted and slid the holographic image again.

"Remember our old drone swarm?"

"With only a few modifications, they can become mobile magnetic field shield generating units."

"To put it simply, these drone groups are our gun barrels."

Tao Yuda's pupils trembled slightly and he swallowed hard.

"This, this is so crazy..."

Yes, crazy.

This is the only adjective in the minds of Tao Yuda and Cao Liangcai.

Lu Yongchang shrugged and said noncommittally: "Maybe this weapon is a little crazy."

"But its power can definitely satisfy our imagination."

"At present, its only disadvantage is its short range."

"Even if the drone's magnetic field is used to form the barrel, its maximum range will only be about one hundred kilometers."

"As a result, its scope of application is extremely limited."

"However, in a sense, it fits the name I gave it."

Cao Liangcai and Tao Yuda suddenly understood.
