Chapter 379 Plasma Weapons Begin Deployment

Time passed day by day.

The changes in the fiefdom of Great Xia Terra are visible to the naked eye.

What was once uniformly military camouflage is now diluted by various work clothes, white lab coats, and civilian clothes. Biologists, physicists, engineers, diplomats…

More and more experts and scholars from various fields are flocking to this land through the portal.

At the same time, many state-owned military enterprises began to establish themselves, preparing for trade and exchanging for more supplies.

Inside a three-story building, various departments and offices, including the trade department, the resources department, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have been set up.

It became the office building for the Daxia branch.

Everything is moving in the right direction.

But Lin Mo knew the answer in his heart.

This is just the calm before the storm.

Having just finished studying magic all night, he arrived at a coastline and gazed at the beach.

There, densely packed metal supports stretched along the beach, and the ultra-high-voltage power grid gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

Behind it, a large nuclear fusion power station will continuously supply ultra-high voltage power to this place.

Kyle once said that lightning has the same effect on demons as holy light.

High-voltage electricity is still electricity, so it should be effective as well.

"Commander Lin, you're here."

Footsteps sounded behind me.

Lin Mo turned around, and Zhao Gang came over with a document in his hand.

"Brother Zhao." Lin Mo nodded.

Zhao Gang said:

"Now that portals to various races have been built, logistics, trade, and people-to-people exchanges are becoming more and more frequent."

He paused.

"I think it's time to assemble a dedicated diplomatic team."

"Some things can be left to them to handle."

"You, as the top person in charge, don't need to handle everything."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

This is true.

Although he was the highest-ranking official of the Great Xia in Terra, diplomacy was not exactly his forte.

Having a professional team handle it is definitely better than him improvising on the spot.

"Okay, I have no objection." Lin Mo nodded.

"Brother Zhao, you can arrange it as you see fit."

Zhao Gang smiled, then changed the subject.

"Oh, and there's some good news too."

Lin Mo was puzzled.

"What good news?"

Zhao Gang's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement.

"A batch of new weapons has arrived: plasma rifles. They can be deployed on a large scale now."

Lin Mo's spirits lifted.

"They landed so quickly?"

He was very familiar with plasma weapons.

This is what's installed on the Pangu mech.

But that was the top-of-the-line version, costing tens of millions of dollars.

At this price, it's simply impossible to equip the military on a large scale.

Ten million can buy millions of bullets, nearly ten thousand rifles, or even several cannons.

The kill radius and firepower coverage of these weapons are far greater than those of a single plasma rifle.

Although plasma weapons have greater single-target lethality, their cost-effectiveness is simply too low.

Lin Mo was naturally surprised to hear Zhao Gang say that the equipment was beginning to be deployed.

Zhao Gang nodded.

"Just arrived, produced in other dungeons."

"It was only because the nuclear radiation was concealed by the branches of the World Tree that it was able to be transported here."

Excitement flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.

"Where is it? Let's go see."

The two headed straight for the shooting range.

The firing range is located on the east side of the fiefdom and covers a very large area.

Gunshots could be heard from afar.

But the sound of these gunshots was completely different from that of traditional gunpowder weapons.

There was no explosive roar, only a hissing sound as air was cut through.

As Lin Mo approached, the sight before him caused his pupils to shrink slightly.

Dozens of soldiers stood in a row, their rifles having a futuristic design, all silver-gray in color, with streamlined barrels.

A soldier raises his gun and pulls the trigger.

"laugh--"

A blinding blue-white beam of light flashed by, instantly ionizing the air and producing a slight popping sound.

The beam of light struck the target a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

The target is made of a specially made alloy steel plate, which is five centimeters thick.

But the moment the beam hit, the center of the steel plate was burned through, and dark red melting marks appeared on the edges. The high temperature distorted the surrounding air.

A hole the size of a bowl appeared on the target.

Lin Mo gasped.

This power...

Zhao Gang walked up to him and handed him a plasma rifle.

"Give it a try."

Lin Mo took it; it felt slightly heavy in his hand.

The gun is lighter than a traditional rifle, but has a solid grip.

On the side of the gun, there is a row of energy indicator lights, all of which are now lit up in green.

The upper right corner of the scope displays the energy percentage as "100%".

Zhao Gang began to introduce,

"The extreme high temperature of plasma can theoretically melt through or vaporize most known materials instantly."

"Tank armor, concrete fortifications, and metal structures can't withstand it."

"It causes far greater damage; it doesn't just penetrate a small hole, but burns out a large crater, and can even trigger an internal explosion."

He paused.

"Its killing effect on living organisms is even more outstanding!"

"It can instantly carbonize tissue."

Lin Mo excitedly examined the weapon in his hand.

Based on Zhao Gang's description of its power, it is indeed terrifying.

Zhao Gang continued,

"The destructive power of traditional ammunition is limited by the kinetic energy and material of the projectile."

"Although modern armor-piercing projectiles can penetrate very thick armor, they mainly rely on kinetic energy penetration and internal damage, and will not cause a large-area melting effect."

"The killing of soft targets mainly relies on the cavity effect and trauma ballistics."

He looked at Lin Mo.

"In short, the power of a plasma rifle is far greater than that of traditional weapons."

Lin Mo nodded.

He understands this deeply.

The plasma cannon on the Pangu mech could severely injure even a seventh-tier demon with a single shot.

But he still had questions.

"Plasma rifles require a lot of electrical energy, right?" Lin Mo asked.

How does it solve the power supply problem?

Zhao Gang smiled and pointed to the magazine position of the rifle in Lin Mo's hand.

"Its power source is the energy blocks extracted from the corpses of demons."

"It's stored in the magazine."

Lin Mo was taken aback.

He looked down and pressed the magazine release button.

"Click—"

The magazine popped out, and Lin Mo caught it.

This magazine is completely different from traditional magazines.

It has a metal connector on top similar to a mobile phone battery, and the sides are transparent, revealing a light blue crystal inside.

That's an energy block.

A look of surprise flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.

This design... is brilliant.

Once the energy is depleted, simply reload the magazine.

It's as simple as changing a magazine.

He looked up.

"How long can one magazine last?"

Zhao Gang said, "One hundred shots."

"The energy block in one magazine requires a Tier 1 Demon unit to extract."

"When you factor in the refining and manufacturing costs, it's not exactly cheap."

He paused.

"But compared to its destructive power, it is very cost-effective."

"A plasma rifle can kill a third-tier demon."

"This is completely impossible with conventional bullets."

"A third-tier demon can be killed with just a few shots from a plasma rifle."

"If we have enough firepower, we can even take on a fourth-tier enemy!"

Lin Mo's pupils contracted slightly.

Can it fight against third-tier or even fourth-tier opponents?

What does this mean?

This means that even ordinary soldiers can pose a threat to mid-level demons!

No more heavy firepower support is needed, no more nuclear bombs to clean up the ground.

A plasma rifle can solve that!
