797: Planet Cannon
A few minutes later,
it was finally time for the last weapon system.
Innumerable blue light dots lit up on the 3D projection.
Everyone focused their gaze,
staring intently at the huge circular device at the bottom of the Aerospace Carrier.
Director Zhang pointed at the carrier-based weapons, which were akin to science fiction,
his voice full of pride.
This book is first published on the entire network
"Leaders!"
"These are the weapon systems of the Aerospace Carrier!"
"On the dual wings!"
"Each is equipped with 36 high-energy laser cannons!"
"Tail wings!"
"Each is equipped with 12 super large Electromagnetic Cannons..."
"Top of the deck!"
"Distributed with 64 sets of missile launchers!"
"Bottom of the hull!"
"..."
"Above!"
"Are the conventional weapons of the Aerospace Carrier!"
These names of science fiction weapons, which they had never heard of,
were laser cannons and Electromagnetic Cannons,
popping out of Director Zhang's mouth one by one,
giving the Leaders a sense of unreality.
But everyone knew very well in their hearts,
this was absolutely true!
It was the reality created by Ren Yi and a group of top Scientists and engineering Academicians,
with their own hands!
Looking at those colored light dots,
everyone's hearts were surging.
Possessing these future science fiction-like weapons that only existed in imagination,
many People even began to fantasize about achieving great deeds, expanding territory!
After the first flight took off,
the Aerospace Carrier will become the focus of the world, and the entire sky will tremble for it!
"These weapons and equipment are too terrifying, aren't they?!"
Northern Commander shook his head, saying with little interest.
"Before, I was still somewhat looking forward to whether any force would imitate and build such a sky behemoth after the Aerospace Carrier took off."
"Now it seems!"
"Just these carrier-based weapons and equipment are enough for them to study for decades."
"Isn't this invincible?"
"It's a bit too boring..."
Northern Commander was filled with emotion as he spoke,
and then turned around and said.
"Let's go!"
"There are still 5 minutes until the first flight ceremony, let's go down and sit first..."
Just then,
Director Zhang suddenly spoke.
"Leaders, I haven't finished introducing the weapon system yet, don't rush off!"
Hearing this,
everyone was stunned.
"What?"
"There's more?"
Director Zhang said with a smile.
"Naturally."
"What I just introduced were just the conventional weapons carried by the Aerospace Carrier!"
"The most important super weapon hasn't been introduced yet!"
"Also, aren't you curious about what the super large carrier-based nuclear reactor below is used for?"
At his words, everyone's curiosity was instantly piqued again.
"No..."
"Comrade Zhang, in front of these weapons, even the most advanced supersonic missiles have to kneel and sing praises!"
"If these aren't considered super weapons, then what is?"
Before Director Zhang could speak,
the Leaders nearby had already started asking.
"Stop keeping us in suspense, what other trump card weapons are there? Hurry up and tell us."
Director Zhang nodded with a smile.
"Yes!"
"This super weapon is the main cannon of our Aerospace Carrier!"
"It's called... Planet Cannon!!!"
Director Zhang raised his right hand,
pointing to the huge circular device located at the bottom of the Aerospace Carrier.
Everyone followed the direction of his finger,
staring blankly at that giant circular device,
estimating its size proportionally.
"Leaders, times have changed!"
"We are about to enter the interstellar era, how can we still use the standards of the old era to define weapons?"
Before everyone could figure it out,
Director Zhang, filled with excitement and pride,
raised his voice and said with great spirit.
"Leaders!"
"Caliber is king!"
"Range is truth!"
"What kind of scene will it be when this 88.8-meter diameter cannon caliber"
"is fired from space orbit?!"
"What level of truth is that?"
...
Outside.
Ignoring the fact that only 5 minutes were left until the first flight ceremony,
at the strong request of the Leaders,
the group of high-ranking officials decided to immediately go to the bottom of the Aerospace Carrier,
to get a close look at the Planet Cannon that could "convince People with truth."
Soon,
on the spacious floor at the bottom of the Aerospace Carrier.
Everyone looked up,
and the moment they suddenly saw the incredibly huge circular muzzle,
everyone's hair stood on end, and they were overwhelmed with shock,
getting goosebumps all over,
some People even forgot to breathe.
"My goodness!"
"The muzzle of this Planet Cannon... should be more than 88 meters, right!"
Northern Commander swallowed hard, and asked Director Zhang beside him.
"It looks like at least 100 meters!"
Hearing this,
Director Zhang smiled and introduced.
"Yes."
"Our previous definition of caliber mainly referred to the inner diameter of the barrel."
"However, the structure of the Planet Cannon is different from conventional energy weapons. Its barrel also serves functions such as magnetic confinement, magnetic compression, and magnetic acceleration!"
"Therefore, its outer diameter reaches 99.8 meters!"
Northern Commander's voice trembled.
"100 meters?!"
"That's enough to play football..."
"..."
Other high-ranking officials were also extremely amazed,
asking questions from time to time,
and Director Zhang answered them one by one with a smile.
At the front of the group,
the Leaders looked up at the bottomless muzzle,
their eyes filled with tears.
Having been Leaders for so many years,
it was the first time they had such a strong sense of security and pride!
"Comrades, let's go!"
The Leaders took a deep breath,
and after slightly calming the shock and excitement in their hearts,
looked around at everyone and said.
"There are less than 3 minutes until the first flight ceremony, it will be too late if we don't go now!"
Led by him,
the high-ranking officials reluctantly turned around and walked towards the elevator.
A short fifty meters,
everyone looked back every few steps,
wishing they could look at it a few more times.
Because the Aerospace Carrier uses second-generation controllable nuclear fusion technology,
the fusion material used is helium-3 element mined from the moon.
helium-3 element is not only more efficient, clean, and pollution-free,
most importantly, helium-3 fuel rods are very easy to replace.
This means that,
after the Aerospace Carrier takes off,
if nothing unexpected happens, it can float in the sky indefinitely.
So it really is a case of seeing it less and less!
...
In the elevator.
"Comrade Ren Yi!"
"This time, you really gave us a huge surprise!"
"Hahaha..."
The excited Northern Commander kept patting Ren Yi's shoulder.
After the first flight is successful,
this great treasure, the Aerospace Carrier, will officially enter service,
and will conduct practical exercises.
And as the deputy Commander, he was undoubtedly the most excited one.
"Comrade Ren Yi!"
Northern Commander suddenly leaned forward and asked Ren Yi curiously.
"I understood the previous conventional weapons, they are nothing more than using gunpowder, electricity, nuclear, and so on as the main raw materials."
"But this Planet Cannon..."
"To be honest, I stared at it for a long time just now, and I really couldn't see what form of attack it is?!"
"Can you enlighten us old fellows?"
Seeing all the high-ranking officials looking at him at the same time,
Ren Yi smiled slightly and said.
"All of them."
Everyone was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
Ren Yi continued to explain.
"Planet Cannon is just our common abbreviation."
"Its scientific name should be, Supergravity Plasma Cannon!"
"It can also be called Plasma Cannon!"
Plasma Cannon?
Hearing this name,
everyone in the elevator suddenly had bright eyes,
this was much easier to understand!
As the highest level weapon representative among new concept weapons,
the Plasma Cannon has always been the concept weapon of aliens in science fiction movies.
Before the emergence of this monster, Ren Yi,
some Scientists had also proposed this idea!
Of course,
it was just an idea...
Seeing that everyone understood,
Ren Yi continued with a smile.
"Plasma Cannon!"
"It is the strongest weapon that can be built based on the current stage of human technological development!"
"Its principle is to use the super strong energy instantly released by the nuclear fusion reactor to heat super heavy hydrogen to a high temperature of over one billion degrees, making it a super plasma state!"
"Then concentrate it and fire it out!"
"The Plasma Cannon has three major advantages!"
"First, immense power!"
"Second, super long attack distance!"
"Third, extremely short energy storage time!"
"Fired from outer space at a distance of one hundred thousand meters, it can not only accurately strike the target in just a few seconds, but also cause damage far exceeding that of a hydrogen bomb by a hundred times!"
"Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call it a Planet Cannon!"
Ren Yi paused,
and added another sentence.
"In addition, as a non-nuclear weapon, the Planet Cannon is more powerful than all current thermal energy weapons, but it will not cause any radiation pollution."
"It is a very efficient and clean large-scale destructive weapon, and its use will not affect the Earth's environment!"
After listening to Ren Yi's introduction,
everyone felt deeply shocked.
Northern Commander swallowed, his mouth dry.
"Damn!"
"It's already like this, and you're still talking about environmental protection?"
"If this shot is fired, wouldn't there be nothing left, not even dregs?"
"It's too perverted!"
"Comrade Ren Yi!"
"Are you a spy from the Trisolarans, building such a weapon with the aim of piercing the entire Earth?"
Hearing this,
Ren Yi laughed and replied.
"You think too highly of me!"
"Moreover, in my eyes, there is only the vast sea of stars forever."
