Section 16 Sortie
In the middle of the forest, the high treetops suddenly shook, and a few snowflakes fell from the branches.
A ray of light flew straight through the forest, all the way to the distance beyond sight.
Chen Zheng rubbed his ass and stood up, and took a few steps to pick up the electromagnetic railgun that had fallen to the ground.
The second half of the crossbow machine is no different from the previous one except for a little snow, but the first half of the copper rail is not burned out.
This time, with zero-energy protection, the copper rails did not melt and even maintained a straight shape.
But even so, the part of the copper rail that came into contact with the copper pillar had become pitted, and it was useless under the erosion of the hot copper pillar and the arc.
However, the wooden tray with the copper rail is only carbonized on the surface, and it seems that there should be no problem in firing two or three more rounds.
After watching the electromagnetic railgun, Chen Zheng "creaked" on the snow, and walked to the big tree that he used as a target with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
I saw that a finger-thick hole in the big tree was blazing, and the surrounding wood was turning into red charcoal in the high temperature, and green smoke was curling.
"Sizzle......"
Chen Zheng got some snow and wiped it on, put out the charcoal fire, and looked in along the finger-thick tree hole, and vaguely seemed to see the red light inside.
“……”
As if thinking of something, Chen Zheng stood up and walked around and came to the back of the big tree.
Sure enough, there was also a red-hot hole with green smoke billowing.
Penetration doesn't seem to be too bad?
One shot penetrated the giant tree hugged by dozens of people, and the straight-line distance was almost more than ten meters.
Although such an armor-piercing depth is not comparable to the effect of those tail stabilized shell-out armor-piercing shells on Earth, this is a good start after all, isn't it?
At least for Chen Zheng, his electromagnetic railgun has finally embarked on the road to practical use.
With this in mind, Chen Zheng followed the direction in which the copper pillar flew out, and continued to look forward along the trajectory - he wanted to see what the copper pillar looked like now after shooting through the wood more than ten meters thick.
A few minutes later, Chen Zheng, who was looking for it while walking, came to the foot of another towering giant tree.
Where did it go?
Chen Zheng looked down and searched.
How come you haven't seen the projectile that has landed after walking so far? This is a snow field that Chen Zheng has never set foot in, and if the projectile falls on the snow, it should be very eye-catching......
Thinking like this, Chen Zheng's gaze gradually raised, and then he saw another tree hole.
"This ......"
Chen Zheng was stunned.
It was exactly the same as the hole in the tree before, except that the red charcoal had dimmed, and only a faint green smoke was still pouring out of the hole.
Chen Zheng walked around the big tree quickly, and sure enough, he found a hole with green smoke behind it!!
This time, the hole was a little off, but it still pierced through about 6 meters of wood.
Chen Zheng didn't stay here for long, and continued to look in the direction of the cave, and then found the third, fourth, and fifth trees that had been pierced......
From the initial surprise, to the numbness later, Chen Zheng continued to walk forward, counting one by one, until the number became twenty-three.
At this time, it was already more than 500 meters away from the place where Chen Zheng fired the electromagnetic cannon! Standing here, you can't even see the sea in the distance, and even the sparse woods have become a wall of trees at this distance.
Among the 23 trees, the holes that were initially pierced by the projectile were small and uniform, basically going in and out at the front.
By the time of the fifteenth tree, there was no trace of carbonization on the entrance of the cave, and it was obvious that the heat on the copper pillar had been almost consumed, and the molten copper water had solidified again.
By the time the nineteenth tree had left a bullet hole in its trunk that had become fist-thick, it seemed to begin to swirl as it left the tree, leaving an irregular inlet in the twentieth trunk.
And this seemed to be the beginning, when the projectile was shot out of the twenty-first tree, the projectile seemed to break, and the entire re-condensed copper pillar broke into three pieces, and then continued to shoot into the twenty-second tree along this route.
Then this fracture continued continuously, until when the twenty-third big tree shot out, the copper pillar that had turned into dozens of pieces of debris left a huge wound with a diameter of more than three meters on the big tree! Large swaths of wood were torn apart and ejected from the shattered wounds, and the snow was covered in broken wood fibers.
"Wow......"
Chen Zheng looked at the wood fragments all over the ground and sighed softly. He never imagined that such a rudimentary electromagnetic railgun would cause such great damage...... How did you make such a terrible weapon by hand!?
Now that he knew the power of the projectile, Chen Zheng's purpose was achieved.
In addition to the amazing kinetic energy of the electromagnetic railgun he made, the copper pillar had been melted by the ultra-high voltage electric current before it was launched, turning it into a high-temperature metal jet.
The famous anti-tank weapon RPG rocket, the principle of its warhead armor piercing is to create a metal jet, the high-speed metal jet can effectively penetrate the armor, coupled with the huge kinetic energy brought by the electromagnetic gun, this power should be enough to shoot through Roshan's armor.
After unexpectedly getting more than satisfactory results, Chen Zheng returned to his cabin and continued to manufacture high-precision copper rails, after making them, Chen Zheng used resin to package the copper rails according to the predetermined distance, and inserted them directly into the groove in front of the crossbow machine when used.
In this way, after discarding the wooden board that fixes the copper rail, the overall weight is reduced a lot, and the external copper rail can be easily replaced.
Chen Zheng tried it, and if he hung it around his waist, he could carry about 5 sets of copper rails without affecting his flexibility. If there is more, not only is it difficult to accept the weight, but Chen Zheng's actions will also be hindered to a certain extent due to the length of the copper rail.
Or a different approach?
Chen Zheng thought about it, and then made a long quiver out of wood, and tied it tightly to his back with a carrying system.
In this way, running and jumping do not seem to be affected by anything, and the number of copper rails has increased from 5 to 25 sets.
After changing to a backpack system, in fact, the volume is no longer a problem, but the weight has become a bottleneck. After all, the copper bar is very heavy, and the 25 sets of copper rails add up to about 15 kilograms, plus those matching copper pillar projectiles, the additional weight will exceed 20 kilograms.
Next, Chen Zheng made a small pocket out of the fabric of the black suit, picked a small strange fish crystal and grinded it into powder and put it in his pocket and hung it around his waist, brought some water and jerky, and brought a few alien weapons, and Chen Zheng set off on a snowmobile.
The content of the agreement with Scarface is that Chen Zheng waits for Roshan to come to the door, so it is only Scarface who passively waits for the benefits, and Chen Zheng is not prepared to buy time for the safety of those unknown humans.
After all, his appeal was never about treasure and machinery, but about a way to return to Earth.
Drift Valve ......
I'm coming!
