Outside the institute, the guards had already received orders to patrol the perimeter.

The test chamber is also completely sealed.

After learning the lessons of the first test, the newly installed exhaust system in the test chamber was put into operation, ready to exhaust the water vapor.

Everyone returned to the control room and stood in front of the observation window, waiting for the moment to start testing.

"Let's get started."

After Chen Shen finished speaking, in the small black room in the control room, the restriction of the plasma cannon was unlocked through the key, and now without the key operation, the plasma cannon will not operate.

After unlocking, the computer screen in front of the outside observation window, on which the plasma cannon operating system is functioning normally.

In the entire research institute, only Fang Anhai and himself knew the operation key of the plasma cannon, and no one else was qualified to know.

Fang Anhai was staring outside at this time, and after the restrictions were lifted, he called Chen Shen out: "The system is running, you can come out." ”

Chen Shen walked out, and the eyes of the whole audience were on him, there was no doubt that this was the first launch experiment, and it was also up to him to issue the start command.

Outside, the plasma cannon draped in fiery red armor was ready, just waiting for his arrival.

However, Chen Shen was not in a hurry, but took out a batch of anti-glare glasses from the box:

"Let's all come and put it on, and you won't be caught in the eyes by the bright light when you launch later."

A researcher walked over and took the box from Chen Shen's hand and handed out a pair to everyone present to put on.

Chen Shen only then operated on the system.

"The temperature is controlled at 1500 ° C, one round of ammunition is fired, and the energy storage time is ...... It's just 3 seconds! ”

After setting the test indicators on the system, Chen Shen dared to start the test.

The power of the plasma cannon is related to its energy storage time and temperature, the I-22 plasma cannon generally has a maximum energy storage time of no more than 6.7 seconds, once this time is exceeded, the system will enter overload mode, the power is greater than normal, but the plasma may also melt through the conveyor channel and leak out directly.

That's why Chen Shencai gave a conservative indicator.

"Everyone's got your glasses on, but don't fall off!"

Chen Shen finally reminded loudly, and then pressed the start button.

Almost instantaneously, the command was transmitted to the plasma cannon, and the whole system quickly became operational.

First of all, at the muzzle, the originally tightened focusing lens was rapidly extended, and was driven by the flange outside the muzzle to rotate rapidly.

After adjusting the position, the focusing lens retracts backwards, which also drives the flange to shrink, and the middle muzzle naturally protrudes, becoming the most protruding part of the whole structure.

Bright bolts of lightning converged between the focusing lenses, and the center point was the closed muzzle in the middle.

Goo~ The sound of energy gathering is a little depressing.

At the same time, the firing base also lifted the entire plasma cannon body, so that most of its position was suspended.

Click!

The fiery red armor on the gun body rises diagonally from the tail of the gun body according to the program, and a stream of high-temperature steam emits from it.

When the armor is opened, it reveals a protected plasma delivery channel. At the periphery of the channel, there are circles of carambola-shaped conduction coils, each of which is the thickness of a thigh, and the electric light jumps in it, like a dancing elf!

In everyone's control room, it seemed that a crackling sound could be heard, and some people couldn't help but cover their ears.

At this time, at the tail of the plasma cannon, the plasma has been heated and quickly passed through the plasma delivery channel!

Just as it was about to reach the muzzle, the focusing lens retracted again, and the muzzle cap opened automatically!

The current on the focusing lens merges with the plasma flushed out of the muzzle.

In the next instant, lightning erupted!

A beam of light shot out at such a rapid speed that it left only a vague shadow in everyone's eyes, and it was not even certain whether it was real or not.

The launch base, which is fixed to the slide rails, is subjected to a huge reaction force and is subsequently unloaded by means of a buffer.

Chirping!

Everyone only felt that the light in front of them was bright, even if they were wearing anti-glare glasses, they didn't use it much, and there seemed to be lightning in the room, and then a muffled sound was heard, followed by the sound of the target in front of them being hit and melted.

The three-second energy storage time was so short that the crowd didn't have time to think too much about it, and the plasma cannon had already completed its first test firing.

At the scene just now, even Chen Shen felt extremely shocked, as if a heavenly god had sent down thunder and lightning, which was not like it was beyond the reach of human beings.

Chen Shen glanced at the computer screen, and it showed "Launch successful", so:

"We made the launch!"

Wow!

"It worked!"

Everyone in the control room immediately raised their arms and cheered.

Fang Anhai staggered, feeling that he hadn't woken up yet.

"How did you succeed so easily?"

He recalled ten years ago, when he was meditating day and night in the research institute and finally did not cross the level.

At that time, he thought that such a weapon could not exist.

I didn't expect it to be realized by another person so easily today.

This made him sigh in his heart.

He glanced at several old researchers in the team who had participated in the plasma cannon project together, and they all showed dreamlike smiles.

After the plasma cannon outside was fired, the chamber was still emitting waste heat, and the steam rose from the high-temperature chamber, which was quickly pumped out by the exhaust system, and the armor was automatically turned off after the waste heat was emptied.

This is not yet reaching its limit, it can be fired up to eight times in a row, which means that it will now be fired seven more times before it reaches its limit.

Chen Shen ran the system's inspection program to make sure that the electronic components inside the plasma cannon were normal.

When the temperature in the test room outside returned to normal, Chen Shen led everyone out to check the power of the cannon in detail.

Although there is monitoring in the control room, it will be more direct to the naked eye.

Walking out of the control room, everyone saw at a glance that the nearest target, placed thirty meters away, had disappeared, and was replaced by small clumps of charred black residue scattered on the ground.

Ten meters behind it, there was a low wall of steel plates, like the previous target, and if it wasn't recorded, the residue would have to be sent to the lab to be examined for composition to identify what it was.

The 64mm Kevlar armor further behind was also directly penetrated, but it was much better than the first two, at least it was not melted down.

Obviously, after passing through two targets in a row, the energy of the plasma beam that reached here was no longer enough, and the destructive power was seriously reduced.

By the time the fifth target arrived, there were only small holes left, and they had not been penetrated.

Not only the target is damaged, but also the inner wall of the tunnel around the target is also damaged to varying degrees, especially the location of the first target.

When the plasma beam flew here, a large amount of plasma was scattered due to the impact, and it hit the inner wall of the tunnel directly.

Some parts of the tunnel had been broken down and needed to be repaired, and an unlucky lamp was also hit, turning into a charred corpse on the spot.

It's just a plasma cannon that hasn't been fully charged.
