132: Chapter 132 I'll Take Responsibility

Captain Yang Gang's ultimate question was: why could someone develop an electromagnetic Weapon without any testing, and even succeed in doing so?

Wang Shuo's ultimate question was: why did developing an electromagnetic Weapon require testing? Wasn't it something that could be solved with just a titanium alloy plate?

Therefore, the two of them were not on the same page at all.

On a deeper level, Captain Yang Gang had never believed that civilians could create a usable electromagnetic Weapon system.

Although there were many videos online about the principles of various electromagnetic guns and cannons, or even of people building physical models, those were all just theoretical talk and couldn't be associated with the words 'Weapon' at all.

This was not a problem that civilian scientists could solve.

Even departments specialized in researching this were stuck at critical bottlenecks, unable to convert laboratory technology into mass-producible finished products.

Otherwise, Huaxia wouldn't have...

But what was with the titanium alloy steel plate in front of him? And what was with the deep crater on it?

Looking at the aftermath caused by what Wang Shuo called a 'crude' electromagnetic launch system, Captain Yang Gang fell into deep thought. Had he and those experts fallen into a cognitive trap? Was an electromagnetic Weapon system actually a very simple thing that anyone with hands could build?

Or had civilian scientists already surpassed professional research institutes, reaching the realm of black technology?

And even with this, according to what young man in front of him said, there was still room for improvement?

"Wang Shuo," Zheng Yi glanced at Captain Yang Gang, who had fallen silent, and asked, "According to your calculations, what is the completion rate of this electromagnetic launch system prototype in front of us?"

"This?" Wang Shuo looked at the launch system in front of him, resting his chin in his hand as he estimated, "A rough estimate would be around thirty percent."

"Only thirty percent?" Zheng Yi frowned. Seeing its power, she felt it could have reached seventy or even eighty percent.

"Yes," Wang Shuo nodded seriously. This completion rate was calculated even after he had improved the completion rate of the gun barrel.

"What else is unfinished?" Zheng Yi glanced at the system on the table, somewhat puzzled.

"There's a lot," Wang Shuo counted on his fingers to explain one by one.

"In the entire system, only the gun barrel has the highest completion rate right now. However, it still needs to be covered with a 1mm thick special insulating coating later to ensure absolute thermal insulation and prevent accidental contact during use."

"The material for winding the coils also needs to be improved. Right now, I'm using 0.2mm fine silver wire. Not only is the cost high, but the effect is also mediocre."

"To ensure precise adjustment of the power supply timing for the electromagnetic coil launch units, a micro-Chip must be configured to guarantee power supply intervals in milliseconds, minimizing electromagnetic resistance. Oh, and it would be best to wrap a heating conductor inside the insulating coating to keep the gun barrel at room temperature, adapting to different environments."

"Additionally, although launching metal projectiles with electromagnetic coils can make the recoil very small, to be as precise as possible, I think we should also design a recoil cancellation system for it. By using reverse short-distance wound coils, we can use reverse electromagnetic force for cancellation and rebound. This also requires a Chip for precise control, as well as an exquisite structural support."

"We also need to manufacture a new type of power supply and super high-capacity capacitors. I've already prepared the raw materials, and the finished product is estimated to support the firing of three hundred ordinary projectiles."

"The rest is just the casing and integration, which is actually very simple."

Wang Shuo stroked his chin, looked at the test gun barrel in front of him, and made his final summary.

"This way, it'll be almost ready for use. We can just add some minor features later. What do you think?"

He received no response.

Wang Shuo turned back in confusion.

In front of him was a mouth stretched to its absolute human limit, looking as if it could swallow Wang Shuo whole. Above the mouth were two eyes staring like lanterns.

Wang Shuo quietly took a step back without showing any expression, looking at Zheng Yi beside him.

Zheng Yi was also somewhat shocked by Wang Shuo's vision, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"Is this..." Wang Shuo frowned, "unsatisfactory?"

Are their standards really that high? It seemed he would have to show his true capabilities, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to complete the plan.

Just as Wang Shuo was about to open his mouth to explain the upgraded version, Captain Yang Gang, whose mouth was wide enough to swallow a whole goose egg, suddenly let out an extremely tragic cry.

"Satisfied! Extremely satisfied!"

Ignoring Zheng Yi's somewhat disgusted gaze next to him, Captain Yang Gang quickly shuffled forward two steps and grabbed Wang Shuo's hand.

"Student Wang Shuo... no, Dr. Wang Shuo, that's not right either... Brother Wang Shuo..."

Captain Yang Gang's eyes burned with fervor.

"I must ask, Brother Wang Shuo, the thing you just described... can it really be made?"

This familiar fervent gaze... It seemed Professor Qian had looked at him the same way back then, though the gaze in front of him was even more intense than Professor Qian's.

He tried to pull his hand away, but it wouldn't budge.

Wang Shuo could only nod helplessly, "The prototype has already been successfully tested. The rest is all mature technology, so there's nothing difficult about it."

The fervor in Captain Yang Gang's eyes receded slightly, and he went dazed again.

"Mature technology? Nothing difficult? If the technology is mature, then what have we been doing researching it for over a decade? Do you mean we all have pig brains?"

"I suspect you, kid, are insulting us."

"But now was not the time to argue about this."

Captain Yang Gang's eyes burned with fervor once more.

"What's the earliest we can see a completed sample?"

...

By the time Team Leader Qin Zhan received the retreat order again, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

During this time, he heard incredibly loud banging sounds again, which lasted for nearly half an hour.

Afterward, he saw Captain Yang Gang walking out of the factory building, holding a box with an expression of immense satisfaction.

"Chief, Captain Yang."

Team Leader Qin Zhan saluted.

"Captain Yang," Zheng Yi frowned as she looked at the obsessed Captain Yang Gang, "Hand the box over to Team Leader Qin Zhan and his men. They will escort it back to Kyoto overnight."

"No need," Captain Yang Gang tightened his grip on the box and shook his head. "I also need to rush back to my teacher's place overnight. I will personally escort this item."

"That works too," Zheng Yi nodded coldly and turned to call out, "Liu Xing!"

The man who had been following Zheng Yi all this time jogged forward and saluted.

"Follow Captain Yang and escort the box to Kyoto together. Remember, you must not leave this box for even a single step along the way!" Zheng Yi's voice was extremely solemn. "I will notify the Kyoto Defense Department to have them send people to assist with the escort."

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Group Leader Zhou," Captain Yang Gang said with some dissatisfaction, "What is the meaning of this? Are you afraid I won't be able to complete the mission?"

"I'm just afraid some people might steal what they are entrusted to guard," Zheng Yi said calmly. "This is the harvest of the Special Action Group, so naturally, it must be handed over to the Defense Department."

This woman was still as merciless as ever with her words.

I admit, I indeed had a bit of a gambling mindset just now, but you didn't have to expose me so relentlessly, did you?

And...

"This is Wang Shuo's product! We traded for it together! It is not the harvest of your Special Action Group!"

Captain Yang Gang held the box tightly, absolutely furious.

Speaking of which...

Zheng Yi suddenly recalled her transaction with Wang Shuo just now. Frowning slightly, she ordered, "Team Leader Qin Zhan."

Team Leader Qin Zhan saluted in response.

"Select four soldiers to protect Wang Shuo's safety with firearms twenty-four hours a day. If any similar kidnapping attempts occur, you are authorized to shoot to kill directly."

Zheng Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"I will bear the consequences!"
