Origin of Mars

Chapter 143 Particle Cluster Weapons
"No.40 seven weapons drill launches~"

"Countdown: 5"

"4~"

"3~"

"2~"

"1~"

"Launch~"

The emotionless notification sound disappeared in the venue, and accompanied by the flashing sound of beeps, a pitch-black device with a slender muzzle suddenly burst into a burst of brilliant light!

Like a blooming flower, the ground touched by the petals was cut off several meters away, the soil was flying, the gravel was splashing, and a human-shaped target two kilometers away disappeared instantly, together with the metal base that carried the target. Together, they turned into countless tiny molecules dancing in the air.

And when this scene happened, the people not far away immediately raised their arms and shouted. The enthusiastic cheers went straight to the sky, merged with the scorching sun, and spread over the loess.

Schiff, the leader, applauded excitedly, and the scientific research team behind him was already hugging each other with excited expressions.

Code name: Sky Ring, HUI-97 particle cluster weapon.

This is the first full-featured particle weapon born in the history of Blue Star. Although the equipment of this pitch-black model is only a rough sample, the precise strike that hit the head of a humanoid target spanning two kilometers means that Blue Star's ordnance power has entered a new era.

Under the guidance of the origin base, the speed of progress of the STH scientific research team can only be described as terrifying.

Schiff's group is located in the test center on the east side of the STH base, which has become the main base of the Dawn Army. Most of the research and development of ordnance and weapons are carried out here. The advantage of being located in no man's land also allows the research to be carried out without reservation. proceed.

After 46 failures, the HUI-97 particle cluster weapon was finally activated successfully, and the accelerated particles went straight to the distance with the belief of countless scientific researchers.

In fact, this experimental distance can be increased hundreds of times.

In the original theory, as long as two high-energy directional weapons like particle cluster devices are equipped on a geostationary satellite in a 40000-kilometer high-altitude orbit, it can defend against intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched missiles launched from any location in the world.

But STH wants more than just defense against missiles.

They want to build a defensive ring like a city wall on the edge of the solar system, and use a series of future weapons such as particle weapons to destroy intruders.

On this point, STH has submitted a report to Alpha, and Alpha will forward this report to Fang Liang.

It is good to want to protect Lan Xing, but too hasty will often result in more harm than good. This is Fang Liang's main concern.

In the research and development of Tianhuan, 80.00% of the parts were completed by Blue Star independently, and the second base located on Blue Star only provided raw materials and improvement ideas.

If you want to use particles as weapons, you need to accelerate them to a speed of 30 km/s. According to Blue Star’s original idea, only equipment such as high-energy accelerators and particle colliders can accelerate particles to a speed comparable to that of light. speed.

But it's just accelerating, and it's still far away from the concept of weapons in the true sense.

As long as the two most critical points, energy and acceleration, are settled, Bluestar can realize this idea that only exists in conception.

In fact, in the weapon level of the origin base, particle weapons are still the most powerful existence. Fang Liang can't even transport such a powerful weapon to the ship of Universe [-]. Energy is a very serious problem. Such a huge The energy required for a particle accelerator is unimaginable, and the research center at the origin base has been trying to improve this problem.

If stellar energy can be used in particle accelerators, this problem may be solved, but they can't find a suitable threshold to accommodate stellar energy. Except for the jump engine, there is no equipment that can absorb stellar energy autonomously. The technological products of the origin base are not enough to control the stellar energy freely, taming it from a tiger to a house cat.

The difficulty of this process is no less than that of independently manufacturing a space transmission device.

As for these two difficulties, in the research of the energy-gathering defense device by the material research and development team headed by Ding Hai, some details were suddenly discovered.

In the third batch of construction materials that Fang Liang gave to Blue Star, they successfully obtained a composite metal material that could perfectly store and accelerate particles, thus successfully solving the problem of how to accelerate and guide particles.

The energy required for each launch of the Sky Ring is terrifying, which is why the path of the launch experiment is only set at a distance of two kilometers.

But with a distance of only two kilometers, every launch of the sky ring will instantly exhaust all the energy of the energy supply group, requiring a complete electric charge.

In front of the scientific research team are experienced military leaders, and now as each country joins the joint organization, the military power has been shuffled and sorted out to a certain extent.

But the only thing that remains the same is everyone's original intention. Everyone is proud to support the progress of the country. Under such an environment, human progress seems to be a matter of course.

Ding Hai hugged everyone with open arms. Originally, in the eyes of their elders, Ding Hai had a natural resistance to some members of the M country, such as the Sakura country.

But with the passage of time, this kind of mentality has been completely eliminated. Ding Hai realized that people with crooked buttocks are always a minority. Under the work of STH and Alpha, such people are no longer seen in STH.

Especially in the process of scientific research, nationality and race have not been issues that hinder communication. It is precisely because of such differences that more and more inspirations burst out in communication, which are as bright and hot as sparks.

When they came in front of Schiff, two old men of similar age hugged each other tightly. Schiff patted Ding Hai on the shoulder and gave him a firm thumb.

Not only Schiff, many scholars and representatives thought that Ding Hai was just a senior professor of materials science, but they did not expect that the latter had extensive experience in various fields, and he played a vital role in the research and development of Tianhuan , In terms of design ideas and problem improvement, if there is no Ding Hai, the successful launch of Tianhuan may have to be delayed for a while.

In the field of weapons and material research and development, Ding Hai has become the backbone of STH. In this regard, Yu Han is also very sensible and directly promoted Ding Hai to be the spokesperson of the research center. Regarding this decision, there is no one in STH. People object.

"General Schiff, these particle cannons will become our biggest trump card!"

Ding Hai still couldn't hide his excitement in his tone, but his eyes were still dignified: "It's just that there is still a mountainside waiting for us to climb, and that is the energy device. If we can't solve the problem of the energy device, our fortifications will never be able to solve the problem." accomplish!"

"I know, Professor Ding!"

Schiff nodded seriously. Most of the military figures turned their heads and looked at the two of them. The communication between Schiff and Ding Hai was of great significance. The joint organization has always wanted to see the remarkable progress of Blue Star's ordnance force. , This is of course what the military is eager for. Military defense is the key to a planet, and looking at the entire Blue Star, only the research teams in STH have the ability to improve everything.

"We are all looking forward to that day, but I also hope that you will not blame yourself too much."

Schiff let go of his voice and said very sincerely: "We have experienced 46 failures before this, but we always believe in you and believe that our efforts will be successful!"

Suddenly there was something more in Ding Hai's eyes, he nodded slowly:

"Don't worry, General Schiff, my old life has been entrusted here. Even if I die on the workbench, I will send it to space!"

Ding Hai's words were resolute and firm. Although the voice was not loud, it still echoed in everyone's ears. Schiff held his hand tightly and didn't know what to say for a while.

Schiff suddenly remembered the previous time, how stupid he was at that time, and under the bad concept, he made many dirty decisions and instructions.

Like Ding Hai, Schiff has entrusted his life to this great cause.

He just wanted to atone for it, Schiff had done everything he could for the mistakes he had let go.

At this moment, everyone's hearts seem to be connected together. In another area of ​​this base, the Dawn Army is undergoing a comprehensive arrangement and adjustment.

STH completely appointed Ilk as the commander-in-chief of Dawn. There are about 3 troops in this group, and they have been scattered all over the world to deal with various matters.

At this time, in this test center, the backbone force led by Ilk will be awarded a batch of new devices.

They have long been a tactical outfit for future humans. On the outside of the original special combat suit, the energy-gathering protective device is tightly attached to the chest. This is the third-generation improved device, which can independently defend against most bullets and shocks. wave attack.

This is the true iron-blooded soldier. At present, the relevant departments of STH are conducting careful training for each batch of Dawn Squad, because there is a great possibility that they will land in space in the future and conduct unprecedented space battles.

Although Blue Star is very clear that if there is a conflict between the origin base and the Kassog civilization, then the effect of the Dawn Troops will actually be minimal, unless every member of the Twilight Troops can become a transformed one like Irk Mechanical warrior, if this is the case, Suguang's combat power will be very impressive.

Many soldiers have already expressed their yearning for this technology, and Ilk has become a living sample. His physical strength has increased dozens of times and his attack method is like a humanoid turret, making him a very powerful person in the army. celebrity.

But for this transformation technology, Fang Liang is very aware of its pros and cons. The failure rate as high as 80.00% has already made Fang Liang responsible for these soldiers. He cannot apply such a flawed technology to the fragile human body.

In the situation where Irk was desperate, this method was naturally the only choice.

But at this time, the origin base is not improving this kind of technology fast. Based on the fragility of human tissue, no matter what material it is, there will be a great risk item. Severe pain is inevitable. After the transformation is completed, Except for the lucky one like Ilk, he adapted to this new body very quickly. The pain only lasted for two weeks. After taking the medicine on time, the pain never appeared again, and the nerves reconnected with the mechanical tissues. .

If the operation failed, then the soldier's body that was intact would rot completely, and death was the final outcome. Let alone the public opinion that such a situation would arouse, Fang Liang himself was a bit unacceptable.

So he has made it clear to Alpha that unless such a transformation technique has a 90.00% success rate, he will never try it again.

The successful launch of Sky Ring was also transmitted to Fang Liang's mask along with Alpha's report.

"Zero, they really developed the first particle weapon, it's incredible."

Fang Liang watched with great interest the particle beam that had been slowed down hundreds of times. From this perspective, it was like a slender spear, reflecting a strange light, moving forward slowly.

"It's amazing, they learn twice as much as I expected."

Zero also expressed his thoughts: "Under perfect catalytic conditions, Blue Star's technological evolution rate is about to reach a new height."

"If they can use this particle weapon freely, it may also be a powerful boost to the origin base."

Fang Liang said: "Alpha conveyed to me a report drafted by STH, they hope to form a cosmic defense line on the edge of Blue Star, probably a self-defense system composed of such particle weapons, I have to say that this is a good idea. idea."

"But they didn't overcome the energy problem."

Zero saw the crux of the problem at a glance: "If a stable and large backup energy system cannot be established, then this line of defense will be extremely fragile."

"Yes, that's what I thought too."

Fang Liang nodded: "I think we can help Blue Star solve this problem. Since they are willing to become an ally of Origin Base, we should also give them feedback."

Zero didn't speak, and seemed to be thinking about something.

There is nothing wrong with Fang Liang's idea. If the origin base can increase its support to Blue Star within a certain range, but if Blue Star feels complacent because of this particle device, Fang Liang will immediately stop helping Blue Star. .

This was Fang Liang's plan all along.

He didn't want to raise a white-eyed wolf, although at this time Blue Star, after a period of screening and processing, the members in STH and the joint organization all had the correct value orientation.

But after all, Blue Star is composed of countless human beings, Fang Liang is still a little worried.

"Pay attention to the scale, the future of human beings is still limitless, but I don't want to raise a guy who can turn us back."

Fang Liang said to Ling: "If you find something wrong, report it to me immediately."

"Yes sir."

Zero nodded slightly, and instantly understood Fang Liang's meaning.

From its angle, it is easy to monitor various changes on the blue star.

Only in this way can it be ensured that no seeds of conspiracy will be born.
