Chapter 146: The Birth of the First Magic Weapon in Human History

Chaoge, Secret Weapons Research Institute

Generally speaking, this kind of "xx factory" named after numbers is not simple, and this is also the reason for this weapons research institute, the last time Zhou Xinming came here, it was to check the progress of the Type 25 individual soldier system.

And now that time has flown by, the Type 25 individual soldier system has been issued to every 115 commando soldier, and through countless actual combat experiences, a large number of adjustments and modifications have been made to become a mature set of weapons.

"Hello Minister Zhou, welcome to us, the spirit crystal explosives developed by you and Academician Liang before, Minister Zhou, have helped us a lot."

"Our old bones are far worse by comparison." The first gray-haired weapons expert laughed.

"You're welcome, Academician Lu, old-timers like you have sacrificed too much for OUCC, and I still need to learn." Zhou Xinming also hurriedly said politely.

"No, no, no, the word spirit crystal explosives are completely the weight of the kingdom, and the invention we are going to show you now has a lot to do with spirit crystal explosives." After the weapons expert finished speaking, he took Zhou Xinming to the shooting range.

Hearing this, Zhou Xinming was a little puzzled, when he was researching the spirit crystal explosives before, the Eastern Alliance Army had a lot of interest in the spirit crystal explosives.

But the problem is that this interest is actually mainly in the field of missiles and bombs, and traditional artillery bullets........ It doesn't really matter.

After all, the limit of chamber pressure is there, unlike missiles, bullets and shells rely on high-temperature and high-pressure gas expansion to push the ammunition, which is the source of the gunshot.

And this weapons research institute is mainly engaged in individual weapons, and is not responsible for the "express business" of Dongfeng or Julang series, how can it be related to spirit crystal explosives?

After a while, a few people arrived at a nearby shooting range, but there were no people around, only a few wooden tables, one of which was a QBU-22 anti-materiel sniper rifle engraved with runes.

This rifle Zhou Xinming is too familiar, this gun has a caliber of full inches, and uses tungsten alloy mixed with trace spirit crystal armor-piercing bullets.

It is currently the most penetrating firearm in the Eastern Coalition Army, and even in all mankind, and with the interference brought by the spirit crystal core in the middle of its bullet to the target, one shot is enough to paralyze the demon beast of the second order of cultivation.

When encircling and suppressing monsters in Falling Moon City before, the snipers of the 115 commando team used a lot of QBU-22 types, and with the help of the electronic sight that can be connected to the combat data link above, many monsters died under the muzzle of this gun.

However, compared with the ordinary QBU-22, this QBU-22 not only has a slightly longer barrel, but also seems to have a completely different material.

The runes on it were still flowing with azure light, especially the bottom of the bullet next to it was directly inlaid with a small piece of purple spirit crystal.

"This is our breakthrough, the QBU-22 Special Edition!"

When he arrived in front of this gun, the weapon expert just now said excitedly: "This is a weapon that uses a large number of rune technology and spirit crystals, it is the first psionic anti-demon beast sniper rifle in human history, and it is also the first time we have refined a magic weapon." ”

"Speaking of which, Minister Zhou, you should know what determines the lethality of firearms." Speaking of which, the weapons expert suddenly sold out. …

"Of course, e=1/2mv^2, m is the weight of the bullet, v is the muzzle velocity, and the power of the two guns will also come up, which is the knowledge that elementary school students understand."

"Your caliber hasn't changed, and the mass of the bullet can't change much, so it's the muzzle velocity that has changed, right?" Zhou Xinming immediately guessed the meaning of the other side.

"Yes, the bullet is essentially that much heavier, after all, its volume is there, so our breakthrough this time is a big increase in speed."

"Of course, I know that Minister Zhou, you are very puzzled, how did we solve the problem of bore pressure and gas expansion limit velocity."

"Our method for this is also very simple, that is, instead of relying on the traditional gas expansion to propel the bullet, we rely on the barrel and body of the gun to make it resonate with the spirit crystal of the propellant."

"So that with the help of spiritual power, the bullet can be pushed out, so that you can break through the limit of the speed limit of gas expansion!"

"Wait a minute, so this is a solo railgun?!" Listening to the weapon expert's explanation, Zhou Xinming was surprised.

This principle doesn't sound like the principle of a gun, but like the principle of a railgun.

"It can be understood that it works similarly to the railgun, both of which accelerate in orbit, but with one difference, our psionic rifle does not rely on Lorentz force to accelerate, but some kind of spiritual power that we can't understand for the time being."

"First of all, we have greatly modified the primer, which was originally used to ignite the propellant, but now the primer we use is a small formation."

"Its role is to activate the spirit crystal inside the bullet, so that the spirit crystal begins to release the reaction of spiritual energy."

"The runes on the body of the gun are used to stimulate the spirit crystals of the propellant to continue to resonate, or the spirit crystals loaded by the bullet propellant are used to power these runes."

"So that the formation exerts a large amount of kinetic energy on the bullet, so as to accelerate the bullet in the body tube."

"However, this involves two disadvantages, the first is the propellant and warhead used in the bullets of this psionic rifle."

"In addition, the production of firearms itself consumes a lot of spirit crystals, and in the current situation that spirit crystals are still key strategic materials, their costs are extremely high."

"The material of a psionic sniper rifle alone costs 7 grams of spirit crystals, and a spirit crystal bullet magazine contains almost 0.1 grams of spirit crystals."

"So even if you bring 15-20 spirit crystal bullet magazines, you won't touch the 10-gram red line of psionic disorder, but you can understand the price."

"Another shortcoming is relatively less imminent, but it is a more long-term problem, that is, it takes true yuan to make the primer formation stimulate the projectile spirit crystal."

"There is a formation set up on the trigger to guide the user to pass on his true element to the end, but in essence, you have the true element, and it is only useful to pull the trigger."

"To put it in layman's terms, it means that ordinary people can't use this kind of psionic weapon, and they can't shoot bullets when they pull the trigger, only cultivators can do it."

Hearing this, Zhou Xinming also nodded, the two problems are indeed difficult to solve, not to mention the spirit crystal, that thing is now rarer than gold.

Every small piece is bought by the blood and sweat of countless people, or from foreign hands by various means.

And the inability of ordinary people to use it is also a big problem, which means that it is difficult for this kind of psionic weapon to be popularized, and even this difference may become the fuse for the two groups of cultivators and ordinary people.

"Academician Lu, don't worry about these two problems for the time being, I will solve the matter of Lingjing."

"You write a report to the headquarters, and I will give you 1,500 grams of spirit crystals first." After pondering for a moment, Zhou Xinming said.

"As for another question....... Let's talk about it then, we have too many things to do now, let's find a way to deal with this problem in the future, let's talk about the power of this gun first. ” 。。
