Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 101 First Launch Test

Lu Yuning wanted to add a few more words, but seeing that everyone looked a little troubled, he didn't continue.

However, Zhang Xinyue nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, Lu Yuning was just guessing about the specific principles of her special abilities, and only Zhang Xinyue herself could understand the various feelings involved.

In any case, the final effect of this transceiver room and sound wave amplifier has far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Moreover, as Zhang Xinyue's abilities improve, the scope of exploration can become wider and wider.

Even if conditions permit in the future, it may be possible to make a larger amplifier.

Once the entire tower installation is completed, Xu Ting's task is accomplished, and Lu Yuning can handle the rest of the work by himself.

"Thank you for your hard work. If you need anything, you can come to us. We may work closely together in the future." Lu Yuning said to Xu Qi and Xu Ting.

Regarding the issue of cooperation, Lu Yuning had thought about the two parties merging, but with more people, many things would be different.

Their lives will also change completely, which is not what they want to see.

Moreover, even though Ma Zhiqiang was eliminated, he still had a bad impression of the people in the pavilion.

In short, let's see how they develop. Perhaps it is the best option for both parties to exist in this cooperative way.

Xu Qi and Xu Ting nodded to show that they understood what Lu Yuning said, but then they seemed a little hesitant.

"How about watching the launch test before leaving?"

“Yeah, I’m a little curious too.”

The two whispered for a while, and then decided to watch the final launch test before going back.

Lu Yuning suddenly found it funny. She didn't expect that two girls would also be interested in this thing.

As long as they don't think it's a waste of time, Lu Yuning and the others naturally don't mind.

Since Xu Qi is not going to leave, the next task of the high-altitude sniper station seems to be much simpler.
In addition to the difficulty of building an aerial sniper platform at a height of 5 meters, the most important issue that cannot be ignored is safety.

This safety issue is not about falling from heights, but about attacks from birds.

The height of 5 meters is already a position that birds will visit. Although it is still some distance away from the crown of the camphor tree, it is still a very dangerous behavior.

Protective measures must be taken against this. As they develop, they will gradually come into the sight of birds and mammals.

Compared to insects, it is difficult to resist attacks from creatures of this size, so we cannot be careless.

This protection is divided into two parts: protection of high-altitude sniper platforms and protection of climbing routes.

Route protection is relatively simple, just dig a channel along the climbing route.

With Xu Qi around, the workload was reduced by almost 80%, and it was even faster than the previous excavation and construction of the water pipe laying route at two meters.

Lu Yuning also thought about the protection of the sniper platform.

The projectile and the protective cover can be put together, the cover and the projectile can rotate horizontally at the same time, and a longitudinal launch port can be opened in the launch direction.

So in the end, we have to make the projector first.

But there is one more thing to do before that.

Lu Yuning stood on the platform with a plastic cover on his body for safety.

There was a cup-shaped object behind him, with a taut transparent silk thread connected to the bottom, which was the installed megaphone.

At this moment, Lu Yuning cleared his throat nervously, then spoke into the cup-shaped megaphone: "Ahem, this is the sniper station, this is the sniper station, please reply if you get it."

I don't know why I felt a little ashamed when I said this, and my voice gradually became smaller and smaller.

At this moment, in the shelter below, a clear voice came from the microphone.

".Received, please reply"

When everyone heard the voice coming from the microphone, they felt inexplicably excited, as if the call came from thousands of meters away.

In this small tree hole shelter, these few simple words may be the first long-distance communication between humans after shrinking.

"Hello, I got it! I'm Zou Yunxin!" Zou Yunxin walked to the microphone and shouted into it almost roaring.

"It's so noisy!" Zhang Xinyue covered her ears first and glared at him angrily.

"Brother Zou, you are born in the Year of the Ox, right?"

"Yun Xin, you scared Lele."

Everyone chattered and condemned Zou Yunxin.

Lu Yuning above was first startled by Zou Yunxin's shout, and then heard the noisy conversation of the crowd.

After the noise died down, Zhang Xinyue's voice came from the receiver: "Hello, tower received, this is Xinyue."

"The sniper station received the message, and the communication experiment was successful." Lu Yuning replied.

The people under the tree cheered.

The first communication experiment was completed in this way, and the entire mail room and sniper station were successfully connected.

The final construction work is the projector. The design drawings have been made before, but a few improvements have been made.

Mainly protection and angle controllability.

Protection is the protective shield mentioned earlier.

The rotation of the projectile is to place the entire projectile on a rotating shaft so that it can rotate 360 degrees.

A small lock design should be made at the bottom to fix the final angle.

This allows for multi-directional projection and control of the horizontal landing point.

In addition, up and down rotation is also necessary, mainly used to fine-tune the final landing distance of the shell, and adjust the angle between 0 and 45 degrees. It will be meaningless if it is larger.

The angle adjustment design in the up and down directions is mainly achieved by adjusting the launch tube.

Although the launch pad is relatively heavy overall, they can still push the weight of the launch tube up and down.

These two points are the manufacturing difficulties of the entire device, which involves the assembly of components, and Lu Yuning cannot manufacture them all in one go.

Fortunately, each part was not heavy, so Lu Yuning called Wu Xiao and Zou Yunxin up.

The three of them spent some time, and finally, with the help of the chipmunk, they finally assembled the entire catapult.

Lu Yuning tried to adjust the angle, and the device ran smoothly, meeting the requirements of single-person operation.

In this way, the entire device is completely completed.

"Let's not waste any more time and try it right away." Lu Yuning was also a little excited.

Zou Yunxin and Wu Xiao both nodded expectantly.

Lu Yuning quickly adjusted the angle roughly, then set up the braking device that triggered the ejection, and then walked to the microphone.

"Tower Tower."

"Got it," came Zhang Xinyue's voice.

"The first test launch is about to begin. Please record the data."

"Target: Towards the Spider's Nest"

Vertical Angle: 0

Potential Energy: Maximum Potential Energy

"Test shells: wooden, with the same mass and volume as real shells"

Lu Yuning passed the current experimental data to Zhang Xinyue below.

"Tower received, detection started, target area covered."

"Roger that, ready to launch, 3, 2, 1"

"Snapped"

"boom"

The sound of the spring hitting was heard first, followed by a slight ejection sound.

A round, wooden cannonball flew out of the launcher, headed towards the spider's nest, and finally disappeared from Lu Yuning's sight.
