Chapter 236: Primary Laser Weapons
Looking at the confused looks on everyone's faces, Lin Yu sighed helplessly.
No way.
He could only start over and explain step by step.
Soon, after two days of teaching.
Li Meng finally succeeded in figuring out the basic operations.
In this regard, Lin Yu also let him practice it himself.
He corrected him.
In the first practice, Li Meng did not do well, and directly cut off the gene-edited DNA, and the two ends could not be linked together.
In the second practice, the CRISPR-Cas9 system was directly fooled around, and the corresponding target gene could not be found at all.
Third Practice ......
…………
In the twentieth practice, Li Meng was finally able to successfully edit the target gene, but the nanoworm was very unstable.
However, Lin Yu was already satisfied.
Because, Li Meng succeeded.
So next, he only needs to urge Li Meng and help him optimize his operation until the nanoworms he made can meet the technical standards.
After that, Lin Yu can be the shopkeeper.
As for the rest, the researchers who still don't understand the operation are naturally taught by Li Meng himself.
He just had to wait for the results.
After making up his mind, Lin Yu only went for two days in the following days.
Seeing this, Lin Yu taught him the follow-up animal experiments and let him practice them by himself, but he never went to the nano R&D center again.
He has already taught everything that should be taught....
The rest is left to them to practice.
Although animal experiments are difficult and there are many variables, as long as you grind slowly, practice makes perfect.
However, with Li Meng's qualifications, if you want to complete animal experiments, I am afraid it will be impossible to succeed in a month or two.
For ordinary people, it's even longer.
As for a certain ultrabrain, I won't say that it can be successfully hung on the wall once.
Return to Su Muyun's house.
Lin Yu is compiling the key technologies of the second-generation mecha as usual.
Early October.
The key technology of the energy shield has been written.
The second-generation mecha only has the last comprehensive cabin circulation technology left, as well as the four key technologies that match the Xuannu Aerospace Fighter.
And just as Lin Yu was about to continue working, Chen Tian's team finally brought good news.
That's the primary laser weapon, they've already made it.
Hearing the news, Lin Yu also put down what he was doing and rushed over.
Nuclear test sites.
Inside Venue 1.
What was in front of Lin Yu now was a very strange rifle.
This rifle, with its overall rectangular shape, looks like a plasma gun from a science fiction movie.
However, it is much larger than the average automatic rifle today.
Lin Yu picked it up and tried it, and found that the feel was unexpectedly light.
"Mr. Lin, this laser rifle, except for some key core structures made of super steel materials, the rest, we use special synthetic plastics, which greatly reduces the weight of the gun."
Watching Lin Yu test the gun, an old man next to him explained with a smile.
His name is Zhou Zhenxing, and he is a weapons expert sent by NORINCO.
Because he has participated in many firearm design competitions and won many championships.
So he has a wealth of theory and experience in the design of firearms.
However, this is the first time he has designed a laser rifle.
"I've been designing weapons all my life, but I never imagined that one day I would be able to design a laser rifle like this."
Zhou Zhenxing couldn't help but say with emotion.
This laser rifle, it completely subverts the mainstream concept of all gun design in the world today.
The biggest difference between it and thermal weapons is that it does not have a barrel, but has an inner cavity that constrains the magnetic field and accelerates the bullet.
Its main function is to use the offset effect of the magnetic field to make the laser bullet in the confined state accelerate in a fixed direction and finally reach top speed.
In addition, its barrel, bolt, magazine, firing mechanism, etc., are all different from thermal weapons.
"Hmm...... It feels a bit like a toy gun. ”
Lin Yu groped for the laser rifle in his hand and gave a preliminary evaluation.
Hearing this evaluation, Zhou Zhenxing agreed and said: "Yes, that's how it feels, because this laser rifle almost doesn't even have recoil when shooting, and it is exactly the same as a toy gun when it is fired." ”
In fact, this laser rifle has recoil, but this recoil is so small that the user can barely feel it.
It can be said that when it does not use thermal weapons at all, when it is shot, the gunfire is deafening, and even the shoulders are shattered.
In addition, it does not have the operation of throwing shells and loading bullets.
So it doesn't even smell of gunpowder.
It really does look like a toy gun.
"Although I don't feel used to it, as long as the power is strong enough, it's good to get used to it slowly in the future,"
After groping for the laser rifle, Lin Yu smiled and looked at the target not far away.
The next second.
He picked up his gun, his eyes sharp, and slammed the trigger on the target in the distance.
biu!
At the moment when Lin Yu pulled the trigger, a slight barely audible sound suddenly sounded.
In an instant, the laser rifle in Lin Yu's hand shot out a pale blue light violently.
This light was extremely fast, and it flickered away, and the eyes didn't have time to catch it.
Immediately afterwards, the cement target 300 meters away exploded in an instant, burning a cloud of red light.
"The lethality of this laser rifle seems to be mainly based on heat energy and some kinetic energy?"
Looking at the sparse target not far away, Lin Yu raised his eyebrows and said.
Hearing this, Chen Tian next to him hurriedly explained: "That's true, our laser rifle is said to be a laser gun, but in fact, its essence is a magnetic field wrapped in a high-temperature plasma energy cluster. ”
"Therefore, his power not only has penetrating high-temperature burns, but also carries a certain kinetic impact."
"According to Zhou Lao's opinion, at the beginning of the design, we designed the effective range of the laser rifle within a range of 400 meters."
"In this range, the magnetic field confinement and the decay efficiency of the laser will reach the most ideal state, which can effectively kill and injure the enemy."
"If it goes out of range, the projectile will disintegrate and the plasma light will dissipate into the air."
Lin Yu nodded.
Now this laser rifle is at most a plasma weapon, not a laser weapon in the real sense.
The bullet it shoots is a cloud of energy, which will explode when it hits a hard target, forming a thermal sputtering effect.
If it hits the soft body, it will directly form a penetrating and burning effect.
In fact, the laser gun, its bullet is pure light, and it is the kind of laser that is continuous and can reach the speed of light.
If you want to give an example, it is the kind of star-destroying laser similar to the Star Destroyer Cannon in science fiction movies.
Moreover, if the laser is really shot as a bullet, the person will not be able to see it at all, because its speed is the speed of light.
However, with the shot just now, Lin Yu could vaguely see the trajectory of the bullet.
That's the difference between the two.
Lin Yu picked up the laser rifle and fired at the cement target three hundred meters away.
biubiubiu~
In the slight sound, the muzzle of the gun constantly flew out bullets.
Continuous blue rays of light burst out in a straight line, bombarding the target continuously.
For a while, violent explosions continued to sound, and all the cement targets exploded.
After smashing the last cement target, Lin Yu put away his gun and looked at Zhou Zhenxing next to him, and asked, "What is the rate of fire of this gun?" ”
"In terms of rate of fire, the exact figure is 180 rounds per minute."
Zhou Zhenxing said.
The rate of fire of this laser rifle is not very high, and any rifle in the world can easily reach a rate of fire of several hundred rounds per minute.
Especially like
The AN94 is an anomaly, and due to the special design of the delayed rear seat, the theoretical rate of fire of the two bursts has reached an astonishing 1,800 rounds per minute.
However, no matter how fast the rate of fire of a thermal weapon is, the magazine capacity is limited.
The magazine capacity of the laser gun is also related to the battery capacity.
But as long as it can be powered all the time, it can be fired uninterruptedly to achieve unlimited bullets.
"And how many times can it continue to fire the capacity of its magazine battery?"
Lin Yu asked again.
"A battery pack like this can shoot about a few times."
Zhou Zhenxing immediately replied.
Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction.
A magazine battery pack can shoot bullets, which should be enough to use.
In addition, the magazine battery pack is the same as the magazine of a thermal weapon, and it is extremely easy to replace, so you don't have to worry about battery life.
"Actually, my initial idea was to design the battery pack on the butt, and then replace the battery in battle through the replaceable butt."
Zhou Zhenxing explained: "But later, Academician Chen Tian reminded me that because the soldiers are used to using thermal weapons, they are not used to using laser weapons suddenly, so I designed the battery pack in the style of a magazine." ”
As he spoke, Zhou Zhenxing stepped forward, pointed to the body of the laser rifle, and said, "Mr. Lin, look, there is a string of indicators here, with a total of electricity, and each grid is 20%, indicating the current power of the battery pack." ”
"At the same time, it also has a very small vibrator inside, once the battery level is below 20%, the green indicator will turn red, and the fuselage will vibrate lightly."
"The advantage of this design is that the fighters can clearly see the charge, so that they can quickly replace the magazine battery pack."
"Moreover, we have designed a recyclable device so that the depleted magazine battery pack can be recycled for charging and reuse."
"Of course, in addition to the magazine battery pack, I also designed a fast charging template at the butt position, as long as the power supply is linked, you can directly charge the laser rifle."
"So, my idea was to design a battery backpack where the fighters could fire all the time as long as they linked the laser rifle to the power supply, without having to change the magazine battery pack, just like a machine gun."
"Two sets of energy supply devices, the design is not bad."
Lin Yu said with a smile.
He had long noticed that the gun, despite its unique appearance, still had a magazine.
At first, Lin Yu thought that it might be for ease of grasping, so there were other support structures inside.
But now I know that the battery pack was designed here.
After receiving Lin Yu's compliment, Zhou Zhenxing smiled and said in a good mood: "Although this laser rifle is still in the experimental stage, the basic data has been collected, and as long as it is polished, it can be successfully rolled off the assembly line." ”
"So, its environmental testing has been completed?"
Lin Yu thought for a moment and asked.
The process of designing a firearm from design to finalization, manufacturing, and production is very tedious, and it must be tested under various harsh conditions.
For example, cold, sand, muddy, damp and other harsh environments.
Why AK47 has such a wide range of uses, and it is the most cost-effective.
It's because it's durable.
Whether it's in water, sand, or cold, the AK47 can be used in the same way.
And this laser rifle, not only with a sophisticated structure, but also with a battery.
Once the electricity leaks, or if it breaks down if it falls, it will definitely not work.
"Regarding the environmental test of the laser rifle, we have practiced, and from the results of the test, it performs well in cold, wet and other harsh environments, and it will not have any effect."
"Because from the very beginning of the design, we have made targeted waterproof, leakage protection, and internal precision structure shock absorption design."
"However, there is an environment that will greatly affect the performance of this laser weapon, and if it is serious, the effective range will be greatly reduced."
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhenxing paused.
"Oh?"
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, and said with interest
"The environment you're talking about must be related to magnetic fields, right?" ”
"That's right."
Zhou Zhenxing said helplessly: "Since the firing mechanism of this laser rifle is composed of magnetic field restraint, level acceleration and other devices, once the surrounding magnetic field strength is too large, the plasma group shot out will be extremely unstable." ”
"However, there are not many magnetic fields on the earth that can affect laser rifles, only the Bermuda Triangle, the Oregon Vortex, the Australian Magnetic Mountain and other places."
"This problem is not very difficult, if you want to solve it, you can start with the magnetic field restraint device, as long as the strength of the restraint is increased, but correspondingly, it may reduce the performance in other aspects."
"On top of that, the hierarchical acceleration chamber also needs to be redesigned, like this......"
Lin Yu turned on the super brain and let the artificial intelligence here project the 3D stereoscopic light and shadow of the laser rifle.
He was on the side for on-site modification and pointing.
Zhou Zhenxing hurriedly listened carefully.
Half an hour later.
After solving this problem, Lin Yu didn't ask more about the other detailed data of the laser rifle.
After all, Zhou Zhenxing is a professional weapons expert, so he will naturally think about it in detail.
At this time, Chen Tian next to him stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lin, in addition to developing this laser rifle, we also have laser pistols, laser sniper rifles, and laser swords. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yu's eyes lit up.
The weapon system of the second-generation mecha, in the initial stage, is actually a variety of plasma weapons.
And these things, after the breakthrough of core technology, are very easy to manufacture.
Seeing this, Chen Tian also hurriedly took Lin Yu to another experimental site.
On the tool table here is a silvery-white, oversized anti-materiel sniper laser gun.
And the diameter of the hideous muzzle alone is more than 300 millimeters!
You must know that the large-caliber Type 80PF98 and anti-tank rocket launchers are also only 120 mm.
Moreover, it is already considered a cannon.
But now, this oversized laser sniper rifle has more than three times the calibre of it!
So, in a sense, this thing is no longer called a sniper rifle.
This is a laser sniper!
