Chapter 420: Particle Beam Weapons

"Particle beam weapons, I just don't know if it's polar protons or neutral particles being emitted" Ming Cang shook his head and thought about it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I've seen particle beam weapons, and they don't seem to be so perverted, right?" Cheng Mingli was deeply skeptical. Particle beam weapons are not high-end gadgets, and many Level 4 and Level 5 civilizations will equip this weapon.

Particle beam weapons are weapons that are on par with electromagnetic weapons and even have a great advantage to some extent. Electromagnetic weapons use powerful kinetic energy to cause destruction, while particle beam weapons cause damage through the cutting of high-velocity particles, high-temperature burns, and explosions.

Particle beam weapons are divided into two categories according to the type of particles emitted, one is charged particle beams such as proton streams, and the other is neutral particles such as neutron beams. In the face of particle beam weapons, the heavy alloy armor will not play the slightest protective function at all. Armor is to the stream of particles emitted by an ion-beam weapon as if sub-air were facing a bullet. Therefore, in the face of particle beam weapons, conventional armor simply does not make sense.

Therefore, particle beam weapons are a kind of transition weapon from a fourth-level civilization to a fifth-level civilization for many civilizations. Before the mid-to-high-level energy shield technology matured, particle beams were simply unguardable. Charged particles are easy to do, and the electromagnetic shield is able to protect against most damage. But for neutral particle beams, electromagnetic shields that rely on super-strong electromagnetic fields as a means of defense are useless.

The military academies and training camps of the Golden Crow Fleet will be equipped with some of these C-class weapons, mainly to familiarize the students with the working principles and power of different weapons. The scientific and technological span of the earthlings is too large, and after entering the cosmic age, they directly start from energy weapons, and there are shortcomings in many aspects. Military academies and training camps equipped with particle beams and other weapons of all kinds are very helpful in broadening the horizons of cadets. Cheng Mingli grew up in a military academy, so of course he knows all about this.

"Indeed, this particle beam weapon is much stronger than theoretically in terms of power and attack speed. I don't know exactly why, but it seems I'll have to look into it carefully," Ming said as she began to study the metal rod apart.

The tank is an aluminum-titanium alloy used to hold fresh water, although this alloy is not heat-resistant, but it can withstand thousands of degrees of heat after energy blending. Even a B-class energy rifle can only drill a hole, and it is absolutely impossible to destroy such an exaggeration.

The strength of this alloy is also not bad, and many low-level civilizations have used this alloy as the external armor of their warships after adding iron to the aluminum and titanium alloy to smelt together. Such a metal barrel, if the electromagnetic rifle projectile hits it, it will only drill a hole with a diameter of two centimeters at most, and even because of the flexibility of the metal, it may not be able to penetrate the double-layer alloy wall.

The particle beam attack just now not only directly penetrated the tank, vaporizing the liquid water inside the tank, but even penetrated the outer wall of the building vines. It's a heat-resistant material that even magma can support for a while.

"Click...... I don't know what Mingzong touched, the metal rod was divided into two interconnected sections directly from the middle, and at the upper and lower joints, a five-centimeter-long groove appeared. In the groove, a bottle of liquid crystal filled with a golden sheen is firmly fixed in the card slot. The liquid kept tumbling, emitting bursts of golden sheen, and it didn't look very stable.

A boxy hand-held detector appeared in Mingcan's hand, and the detector emitted a white scanning light that scanned the metal rod and the nameless liquid. Soon, on the holographic projection, the composition of the object and the material of the metal rod were displayed in detail. Cheng Mingli took a cursory look, and many things were simply unheard of and unseen.

"The main composition of the metal rod is aluminum alloy, mixed with some microscopic copper, silver, gold, platinum and lead, a total of more than 30 common elemental components. Compared to the composition of metal rods, this golden liquid substance is more precious. This element has no name, it is numbered 3501 in the periodic table, and it is a very precious and rare mineral.

To date, there are more than 5,000 elements listed in the periodic table of the Golden Crow fleet, and all but a few stable and easily spotable elements have been named. These elements go through a new cycle every two hundred or so cycles, and the elements in each cycle have different properties.

Element 3501 does not have such structures as electrons, protons and neutrons, and exists in trace amounts in the deep layers of asteroid veins in a fine single crystalline state. Element 3501 has a very obvious characteristic that when it is bombarded by neutrons, it will undergo chain fission, releasing a large stream of high-energy particles. At present, full-fledged particle weapons are made in this way.

Similar to 3501, elements 3480 to 3695 will have this property more or less throughout the cycle. However, some emit a stream of protons with strong high temperatures, while others emit a stream of high-speed electrons or mixed particles. This particle weapon is a neutron beam weapon made with 3501 as the excitation source.

However, it is strange to me that the power of the weapon has been amplified a lot, and the problem should be with the solution of this element. 3501 elemental ore is pale gray and is a gravelly regular crystal. The 3501 in front of him was directly made into a liquid, and the elements or ingredients added to it could not be found in the database of the Golden Crow Fleet" Ming Cang looked at the crystal bottle in his hand over and over, and after not finding a clue, he gave up the idea of continuing research, and directly restored the metal rod to Cheng Mingli's hand.

The surface of the metal rod is smooth and cool, and in some places you can feel the sunken pattern. The weight is comparable to that of an electromagnetic rifle used by infantry. There are many golden yellow decorative lines on the surface, which are not only like bright lines covered with gold, but also somewhat similar to energy lines.

"Find a place to test it, find out the power and use of this weapon, and pay attention to safety protection" Cheng Mingli handed the metal rod to Lu Biaofei beside him, and then took out a handkerchief stained with some traces from the space watch and handed it to Ming Cang.

The handkerchief was kept by Cheng Mingli a week ago, and it was stained with Yan Huijun's blood. After such a long time, the blue blood had already dried up, and now the green marks on the handkerchief had already faded a lot, and the edges had even turned yellow.

"Compare carefully to see what is the difference between the composition of this blood and ours......"
