Chapter 380 Electromagnetic Cannon and Plasma Cannon Make Their Appearance

Lin Mo loaded the magazine back into his rifle.

"Click—"

He raised his gun and aimed at the target in the distance.

Pull the trigger.

"laugh--"

A beam of blue-white light shot out instantly, and a faint burning smell filled the air.

The beam hit the target, and the steel plate was instantly burned through, leaving dark red molten marks on the edges.

Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

That power!

cool!

Moreover, it has almost no recoil.

The feel was a bit strange for someone who frequently holds a gun, but he adapted to it quickly.

He pulled the trigger repeatedly.

"laugh--"

"laugh--"

"laugh--"

Three beams of light shot out in succession, and three holes larger than the mouth of a bowl appeared on the target.

Lin Mo lowered his gun and looked at Zhao Gang.

"What's its range?"

Zhao Gang said,

"Five hundred meters."

"The effect is best within 200 meters."

"It's sufficient for human eyesight and aiming accuracy."

Lin Mo nodded.

A range of 500 meters is more than enough for a rifle.

He looked at the plasma rifle in his hand, a glint of excitement in his eyes.

With this thing, the fighting power of the Great Xia has reached a new level!

Zhao Gang then smiled mysteriously, lowering his voice slightly.

"There are even stronger ones."

Lin Mo's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"And what else? What is it?"

Zhao Gang grinned.

"Plasma cannons, and electromagnetic cannons."

Lin Mo's eyes widened.

"!!!"

They even have cannons?

There are still two types!

He grabbed Zhao Gang's arm. "Quick, quick, where is it?"

Zhao Gang was pulled forward by him, shaking his head with a smile.

The two crossed the firing range and headed straight for the artillery battalion.

From a distance, you could see dozens of artillerymen forming a circle, with several large weapons parked in the middle.

An instructor stood beside the gun barrel, holding a tablet, explaining the operating procedures to the soldiers.

"Note: Energy recharge takes one minute. You cannot move during this time, as it will affect shooting accuracy..."

Upon seeing Lin Mo and Zhao Gang approach, the soldiers immediately stood at attention.

"Greetings, sir!"

Lin Mo waved his hand, "It's alright, you guys go about your business."

Zhao Gang led him around to the other side, away from the crowd.

Walking up to a huge canvas, Zhao Gang reached out and lifted it.

"Splash—"

The canvas slipped off.

Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and his breath caught in his throat.

Before my eyes, a futuristic-looking cannon stands silently.

The cannon barrel is thick and ten meters long, with a surface of gray-silver color reminiscent of Zhengjin metal.

The bottom of the gun barrel connection is thick and tall, several times the size of a tank, and the tracks are deeply pressed into the ground.

Its overall design is imposing, like a giant steel beast.

Zhao Gang patted the cannon barrel, and seeing Lin Mo's shocked expression, said with satisfaction:

"How about that? Impressive, isn't it? This is the electromagnetic railgun!"

He paused for a moment and then said:

"The materials used to be substandard and the power was not cost-effective, so it was not put into service."

"Now that we've made breakthroughs in materials and achieved a leap forward, it's finally time to land."

Lin Mo circled the cannon, his gaze settling on the long barrel.

"Why is the cannon barrel so long?"

Zhao Gang explained:

"There is an acceleration ring inside the gun barrel, and the projectile needs electromagnetic multi-stage acceleration."

"The longer the barrel, the greater the acceleration distance and the faster the muzzle velocity."

He tapped the cannon barrel, producing a dull metallic sound.

"Both the cannon barrel and the projectile are made of Zhengjin metal, which is stronger and lighter."

"The tungsten alloy was removed, so the projectile velocity..."

"Reaching seven thousand meters per second!"

Lin Mo's mind went blank.

"How many?!"

"Seven thousand meters per second," Zhao Gang repeated.

"Range reaches 400 kilometers!"

Lin Mo opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

7,000 meters per second...

Is it multiplied by or divided by the speed of sound?

He couldn't figure it out for the time being.

"It can reach Mach 20.6!" Zhao Gang provided the answer for Lin Mo.

Lin Mo opened his eyes wide.

At that speed, who can stop it?

Zhao Gang smiled and continued:

"Because the kinetic energy was too terrifying, the explosive design was cancelled, and the killing was carried out by pure kinetic energy."

"100 millimeters in diameter."

He patted the base.

"Powered by micro nuclear fusion and driven by an electric motor, it can move like a tank."

"However, energy needs to be accumulated, so the rate of fire is relatively slow, only one shot per minute."

Lin Mo stared at the electromagnetic cannon, his eyes flashing with excitement.

"Can this thing fight sixth-tier demons?"

Zhao Gang nodded.

"That's right, it can perfectly replace hypersonic missiles, and at a lower cost."

"And this is still the portable version."

"If needed, a roadbed version can be built in the future, with a larger caliber and greater power."

"Of course, it depends on the actual effectiveness of the mobile version against the demons."

"If it's built and can only fight low-level demons, then it'll be a waste."

Lin Mo nodded.

That makes sense.

He recalled the other cannon the soldiers had surrounded on the way here, and pointed it into the distance, saying:

"What's that over there?"

Zhao Gang: "This is exactly what I'm going to introduce next."

He led Lin Mo to the other side and lifted the second canvas.

"This is the plasma cannon!"

Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

The cannon's barrel wasn't as long, but it was thicker and had a pale blue sheen.

The chassis is similar to that of an electromagnetic cannon.

The overall design exudes a violent aesthetic.

Zhao Gang stood beside the cannon, looking rather small.

"The plasma cannon also has an electromagnetic acceleration component."

"Although plasma is light, its acceleration is also very light, so its muzzle velocity is similar to that of an electromagnetic gun."

He pointed to the base.

"It also uses a nuclear fusion system for power."

"As for its power, there is no substance that can withstand it. Breakthroughs in materials science have allowed its temperature to easily reach hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius!"

"Overall, both the power and the electromagnetic railgun have their own merits."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "How so?"

Zhao Gang said, "Electromagnetic guns rely on terrifying kinetic energy to kill, while plasma guns rely on high-temperature plasma to kill."

"It's impossible to compare them directly."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the two cannons.

"But they were all designed to fight against the faster and stronger seventh-tier demons!"

"Of course, the actual results remain to be seen."

Lin Mo looked excited.

A seventh-order demon?

He couldn't wait to go and fight the demons right now to test the waters.

But the next second, Long Zhan's words flashed through his mind.

The strange phenomenon of the demons ceasing their attack, the wormhole portal, suggests that an eighth-tier demon may appear in the future.

Even the ninth rank!

Lin Mo's excited expression froze on his face.

He turned to look at Zhao Gang, his voice grave:

"Can they deal with eighth-tier demons?"

Zhao Gang was taken aback, and remained silent for two seconds.

"Did General Long tell you?"

Lin Mo nodded.

Zhao Gang shook his head with a wry smile.

"Not at the moment."

"The strength of an eighth-order being exceeds the technological level of the Great Xia Dynasty."

Lin Mo fell silent.

The excitement just now turned into worry.

The ass decides the head.

Now, as the person in charge of the Great Xia in the Terra Continent, he is responsible for the lives and fortunes of so many people.

The pressure is immense.

Most people really couldn't handle it.

If you think this is an exaggeration, what kind of pressure would it be for married men who have to support a family and whose income is cut off?

If you are a student, what kind of pressure do you feel when facing the expectations of your parents and teachers?

Many people feel the urge to urinate and their legs go weak just from giving a speech on stage.

Lin Mo represents the hopes of tens of thousands of people, and even the future of Blue Star, all tied up in his hands.

The pressure he faced was immense.
