Chapter 188: Weapon Upgrades

Half an hour later, two people appeared in the laboratory of the newly formed armament group of the research department.

The laboratory is located on the outskirts of the moon, and a 100-square-kilometer piece of land is enclosed on its own as a testing ground, which is guarded by specialized soldiers, and no one can steal secrets from it.

The responsibility of the weapons and equipment group is to respond to changes in the situation, and develop a variety of individual, strategic, vehicle, and unconventional weapons to meet their war needs.

According to the leader of the weapons and equipment group, Top, the two major breakthroughs they have made recently are mainly in the field of vehicle use and the field of strategic use.

"The armament in the field of vehicles is derived from the installation of second-generation spaceships... So far, the speed limit of the second-generation spacecraft has approached 30,000 km/s, and the more abundant energy and volume have brought new possibilities for weapon development. “

Top introduced their results in detail below, many of which Cao Chuan and Xiao Guanhai had heard of, but they didn't know how the progress was.

The first thing they saw was the traditional beam cannon, the practicality of the high-energy beam allowed the weapon and equipment group to tirelessly optimize and upgrade, so far, through customization, the beam cannon is divided into multiple series, including 400 km class, 2000 km class, 3000 km class, mounted on different types of spacecraft.

At the maximum attack distance, the 3,000-kilometer beam cannon covers an area of 2,500 square meters, and will instantly heat up the enemy in an area on the battlefield to 5,000 degrees Celsius, and at the maximum killing distance, which is 1,000 kilometers, it can provide a high temperature of 100,000 degrees Celsius per unit area, so that the strongest materials will be vaporized in an instant.

Of course, the biggest advantage of the beam cannon is speed, when the volume of matter is large, especially when the target is equipped with energy-absorbing armor, the light is still inferior to the electromagnetic cannon in terms of destructive power.

The research of electromagnetic guns has continued for decades, and the countries that have mastered the most advanced electromagnetic guns include the country of the free lighthouse, the country of polar bears, and the country of night rabbits.

Relying on the terrifying kinetic energy exerted by the electromagnetic track, the solid metal as the warhead will liquefy in a few seconds, and even turn into an unstable shell in the form of plasma, and the destructive power of the 550mm caliber electromagnetic cannon is equivalent to several tons of ** explosion, which is enough to make a large hole with a diameter of more than 20 meters and a depth of 100 meters in a solid mountain.

The weapons and equipment used in the vehicle are mainly the above two, don't look at the progress is not very obvious, don't forget that there is a saying called "caliber is justice", even if the killing method of the weapon has not changed, as long as the caliber rises by 10%, 20%, the destructive power is doubled.

These high-powered vehicle weapons can only play the greatest role when they are installed on the Changyang-class spacecraft, and with more flexible unmanned units, internal combat soldiers, and even corresponding special ammunition, they form a set of space war systems with each other.

"As for strategic weapons, in fact, because the East Galaxy Company has not yet launched a large-scale war, strategic weapons usually do not need to be used, and they are still at the level of nuclear bombs."

However, the nuclear bomb is still the most destructive weapon in human civilization in the last half of the world, and there is no second, so Cao Chuan did not feel any shame, and felt that he had to create something cooler and artificial black holes as their strategic weapons.

"At present, the scale of the nuclear arsenal of the East Galaxy Company is growing at a rate of 1,000 times and 10,000 times that of ordinary countries, and now we have 50 nuclear bombs of 100 million tons, 10 nuclear bombs of 500 million tons, 10 nuclear bombs of 1 billion tons, and 5 billion tons of East Galaxy nuclear bombs in production."

After listening to this, Cao Chuan was quite satisfied, there are 5 billion tons of nuclear bombs, which are 100 times that of the Tsar's nuclear bombs, and they will be scared to death when they hear it, and what other country dares to argue with them?

Not to mention that if you drop it, even the weakest 100 million equivalent can completely turn the magic capital, New York, and Tokyo level megacities into a big crater.

As a result, the shortcomings of the East Galaxy Company's strategic weapons are complete, and they can make all kinds of decisions without worrying about the possibility of unplanned use, and if they appear, they will use nuclear bombs.

Cao Chuan believes that there will be no forces on the earth that will provoke them to death, causing them to use nuclear bombs, and he believes that more uses of nuclear bombs will be in the unknown and other cosmic life, and there will never be a need to consider the issue of humanity or inhumanity.

As for the Church of the Old Gods, he wouldn't treat them as human beings anyway, and if there was a need to use a nuclear bomb, he wouldn't have any hesitation or worry, and let the spacecraft carry mushrooms cleanly.

In fact, the style of strategic weapons is changeable, in the work of the weapons and equipment group, in fact, there have been a lot of controversies, arguing about what the strategic weapons of the East Galaxy Company should be, so the leader of the Toph team slightly mentioned that the brain products of their employees, such as meteorological weapons, gravitational weapons, gamma particles, etc., are basically still quite a long time away from practical use, far less convenient and practical than mature nuclear warheads, so that Cao Chuan also finally decided to get the nuclear bomb out first.

As for the inhumane biological and chemical weapons, it is an area that Team Leader Tip did not get involved in, after all, the East Galaxy Company is a responsible company, even if it is an enemy, it must be solved cleanly, what does it mean to slowly torture through biological and chemical weapons?

After the display of individual weapons and equipment, the construction of the latter tactical system is the most important.

"Mr. Advisor, this is a combat-ready Changyang-class spacecraft that is still under construction and is expected to be completed in one month, and will serve as the new flagship of the fleet of the combat department." Team Leader Toph introduced.

"Its armament is configured with 24 2,000-kilometer-level beam guns, three 3,000-kilometer-level beam guns, 12 200mm-caliber electromagnetic guns, two 550mm-caliber electromagnetic cannons, and 200-round tactical missiles, including 10 nuclear warheads with a yield of 100 million yuan and five nuclear warheads with a yield of 1 billion, which can also be adjusted at any time."

"The space inside it will be loaded with 2,000 unmanned attack aircraft, 500 land heavy fire combat units, 10,000 self-detonation robots, and 5,000 combat personnel."

After listening to the specific figures provided by Team Leader Top, Cao Chuan sighed that the Changyang-class spaceship was so comprehensive that it could fight any war, without any weakness or strength, and just a Changyang-class spaceship was enough to complete the important task of destroying a country.

This is mainly due to the fact that the types of ships in the combat department temporarily follow the standard Changyang-class design, and there is no distinction, otherwise there may be a functional division similar to that of battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, frigates and other naval ships, with independent weapons and equipment configurations.

"It seems that the combat effectiveness of our East Galaxy Company has indeed made great progress!" After reading everything, Cao Chuan concluded, "Minister Xiao, Team Leader Top, you have given me more confidence in the work behind the East Galaxy, so I am very much looking forward to the next war against the Ancient God Church." ”
