Chapter 238: Energy Constraints
"The power of this laser sword is not much higher than the previous heavy sword."
Looking at the emerging laser giant sword in the venue, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Although the Chengying mecha used a cold weapon heavy sword before, it can also split super steel stakes with a sword.
However, that kind of power depends on the powerful power and speed of the mecha itself.
The laser sword is different, it doesn't need to use too much power at all to achieve the same effect.
The gap between the two is too obvious.
However, there is something to give, there is something to gain.
Although the laser sword is strong, it consumes a lot of energy.
The epee, although weak, has low energy consumption.
It's a matter of trade-offs.
However, when the miniaturization of controlled nuclear fusion is completed, this trade-off can be perfectly solved.
Just when Lin Yu sighed.
Ma Guang was in the test field, as if he had opened a peerless, and the place where the laser sword passed was a mess.
As the sword is pointing to, there is no one-in-one enemy.
All the things that were tested were scrapped with a sword.
However, this scene of the gods descending to the earth lasted less than ten minutes before it ended.
The reason is simple.
That's the power is out.
"Mr. Lin, although this laser sword is very powerful, the power consumption is too terrifying, it has only been ten minutes, and the Chengying mecha only has 20% of its basic energy left."
After turning off the laser sword, Ma Guang's helpless voice came from the cockpit.
"Nonsense, this is not a conventional weapon, it can only be used as a special skill, ten minutes to save a little, it's enough, it's really not good, you ask your teammates to bring you two more spare battery compartments."
Lin Yu scolded with a smile.
"Hehe, that's right, Mr. Lin, you said yes."
Hearing this good idea, Ma Guang smiled and looked at the two teammates not far away.
As if feeling Ma Guang's gaze, the two logistics teammates glanced at each other with a wry smile on their faces.
Finished.
In the future, their workload will be doubled.
Since there are still long-range weapon systems that need to be tested in actual combat, two teammates piloted the logistics mecha and replaced the Chengying mecha with a new battery compartment.
Long-range weapon systems.
Lin Yu was only loaded with the oversized anti-materiel laser sniper rifle.
Because if you want to load a laser rifle, you need to redesign and manufacture the mecha, which is more troublesome.
Therefore, Lin Yu gave up decisively.
Soon, Lin Yu and his party came to another test site.
Here, too, rows of super steel piles are arranged.
The experimental process of long-range weapons is basically the same as Lin Yu's original.
It's all a super steel pile for one shot.
It's very easy.
It's just that in order to increase the difficulty, Ma Guang began to shoot two super steel piles with one shot.
In the beginning, it was relatively easy.
It's just that when the number of super steel piles increases, the sniper rifle can't blast through with one shot, and can only reach the very end of the last super steel pile.
It's just a little bit closer to a complete blast.
In other words, the maximum power of this laser sniper rifle can burst a ten-meter-thick super steel wall with a single shot.
It's terrifying.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is the best in the world.
After all, the current thermal weapon sniper rifle, even with special bullets such as armor-piercing bullets, can barely penetrate a super steel pile.
Even, some small sniper rifles can't penetrate super steel piles at all, and can only hit super steel plates tens of centimeters thick at most.
At this point, Chen Tian and his team have already made a detailed data comparison.
Ten minutes later.
The battery compartment of the Chengying mecha is out of power again, and only 20% of the basic power is left.
However, the researchers have done a good job of statistics.
Just now, the Chengying mecha fired a total of 212 lasers.
On average, it's almost every three seconds.
The power consumption is comparable to that of a laser sword, not much different.
After the successful completion of the actual combat test.
All
They all applauded and celebrated.
And Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
"Now matrix batteries can no longer keep up with the pace of cutting-edge technology, and only the miniaturization of controlled nuclear fusion can completely solve this problem."
"Energy is the most fundamental reason restricting the development of cutting-edge technology."
If the Ark Reactor of Iron Man in Marvel has been developed now.
Whether it's a laser sword, a laser sniper gun, or a laser cannon, it can be used wirelessly.
Where there will be any time limit.
But miniaturization is too difficult, and the two teams of Li Lao and Xu Lao have worked very hard.
Not long ago, they had shrunk the Suiren Clan to about twenty meters in diameter.
That's almost half the size.
However, this is still a huge gap from the miniaturization that Lin Yu wants.
Lin Yu felt that if he really wanted to make the Suiren clan like Iron Man's Ark Reactor in Marvel, it might take at least three or four years, or even longer.
Although Lin Yu can indeed personally participate in the research and development of miniaturization, reducing the time of research and development.
However, he was busy.
There are still a lot of key technologies that he needs to deal with.
He couldn't just focus on the miniaturization of controlled fusion devices.
It's a waste of time.
Of course, Lin Yu's requirements are not high now.
As long as the miniaturization of controlled nuclear fusion can be loaded onto the mech, it is enough.
However, it will take at least half a year to reach this level.
"Alright, guys."
After everyone calmed down, Lin Yu clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.
"Although the first batch of laser weapons has been successfully developed, we cannot be complacent, because there are more serious challenges waiting for us."
"So, our next research direction is ion beams and laser weapons in the real sense, which will be an uphill battle, do you have confidence?"
"Yes!"
When the words fell, the deafening roar of everyone suddenly sounded in the test site.
"Good."
Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction.
He then began to explain in detail the next intermediate laser weapons.
Intermediate laser weapons.
This is already the backbone of laser weapons.
It mainly includes laser rapid-fire guns, pulsed particle accelerator guns, plasma beam guns, and so on.
This level of laser weapon is also the standing weapon of the second-generation mecha, the unmanned tactical mecha, and the Xuannu aerospace fighter.
As for the last advanced laser weapons.
That's already a laser in the true sense of the word.
Among the second-generation mechas, there is a battleship main gun, which is a laser weapon of this level.
Although it can't reach the terrifying level of the Star Destroyer Cannon, it can already be regarded as a space-based weapon.
It can be said that if one shot goes down, the whole earth will tremble three times.
In severe cases, it can even trigger large-scale natural disasters such as continental plate shifts, volcanic eruptions, and global floods.
However, this advanced laser weapon is too energy-intensive, and even a controlled fusion device needs to slow down and recharge for a long time. 藲礿尛裞網
If it is a more advanced laser weapon, like the Star Destroyer Cannon, controllable nuclear fusion will not be able to be carried out.
At that time, the source of energy could only be extracted directly from a super-large star like the sun.
