"It is not suitable for the atmospheric environment with heavy ground, please pay attention to safety when using it?"

Look at the comments of this ion cannon.

Chen Yi remembered the first time he tested the laser cannon before, and it seemed to be a similar evaluation.

That scene.

I still remember it when I think about it.

"It seems that this thing, with reasonable design, still has a lot of danger."

Chen Yi muttered, holding this individual ion cannon, and went to the test site of the base.

Although from the analysis of the remarks evaluation.

This test launch was dangerous.

But now, he, Boss Chen, is no longer the former Boss Chen, but Boss Chen, who has his own separate base.

The base is equipped with a professional proving ground.

Unless it's a cloudburst bomb, a thermobaric bomb, a space-based accelerated kinetic energy weapon, a little boy, and so on.

With conventional weapons, there is no need to worry about problems at all.

"It's a little lighter than the previous laser cannon, more than 30 pounds, but it's not fully charged yet."

Came to the test site with an ion cannon.

Chen Yi washed it with some hydrogen gas and fixed it on a stand.

Then drive a forklift, pull pieces of steel plates, cement boards, plastic plates, sandbags, buckets filled with water, etc., and place them ten meters away from the ion cannon to test the attack effect of the ion cannon on various items.

"There's a few things left to save your life."

Chen Yi brought two integrated mobile air conditioners.

I changed into a long-sleeved suit, and then put on a set of safety clothes for high-voltage electricians, insulated and protected according to the "Faraday cage" principle, and wore double insulating gloves.

"And this."

Gear up.

In the end, Chen Yi took out a pair of special sunglasses used by welders and put them on to prevent his eyes from being stabbed by the light of the arc.

According to his calculations.

The main risk of this ion cannon is that the ion beam comes into contact with the atmosphere after it is fired.

As the atmosphere absorbs, the positive charge contained in the ions is released, resulting in the discharge of air.

Now put on the insulated protective safety suit.

Wear insulated gloves and sunglasses to prevent arc punctures, and you'll be safe.

"Chief!"

Just as Chen Yi was about to start the test launch.

The security personnel, who had long been aware of the situation, suddenly ran over.

"Otherwise, let's start, we're professional."

Seeing that Chen Yi looked fully armed, the security personnel thought about it and made their request.

They've heard about it.

When he was engaged in laser weapons before, Chen Yi was fully armed like this, and then there were signs of phosphorus burning at the test site.

was so frightened that the security personnel at that time almost performed an on-site amputation for Chen Yi.

"It's okay, I prepared a remote control module this time, so I don't have to press it myself."

Chen Yi took out a remote control.

After the last test of laser weapons, he is still in place for his own security measures.

"Everyone, stand back, don't come closer, this thing should discharge."

Motioned for all security personnel to back off until they were nearly 100 meters away.

Chen Yi also stepped back dozens of meters in an insulated safety suit, and then pressed the ionization charge button of the remote control.

Zizizizi!

Thin electrical sound.

It can be heard faintly from dozens of meters away.

The hydrogen rushed into it before the action of the electric field.

The electrons are disassembled, leaving the bare hydrogen ions constantly stored by the electric field.

During the whole process, you can faintly see the wisps of electric light swimming in the ionization chamber behind the ion cannon.

The ionization charge lasted for more than ten minutes.

The ionization and dismantling of the ion with all the hydrogen was completed, and the ion cannon gradually quieted down.

"If it is in space, this step can be omitted to directly collect the solar wind and the high-energy hydrogen ions free in space."

Chen Yi didn't rush to press the launch button.

Instead, wait for the free electrons released by just ionization to be completely absorbed by the environment, so as to avoid the imbalance of the electric field around the ion cannon and affect the subsequent emission effect.

"Okay, the first one is to test the steel plate first."

After waiting for a few minutes, Chen Yi recalled that all the processes and security measures were fine.

Immediately without hesitation, he pressed the launch button of the remote control.

Backbite!

On the side of the ion cannon, a red light lit up.

The red light flashes three times.

Suddenly, a beam of light erupted.

At first, the beam was faint and emitted a faint glow.

But as time goes on, the beam gets brighter and brighter, and wisps of arc travel on the surface.

In the next moment, the ion beam hit the steel plate with precision.

Rumble!!!

Dazzling light blooms.

Flying metal sparks, deafening explosions.

Almost at the same time, it erupted, and the sparkle resounded throughout the base.

The arcs of electricity crackled like electric snakes, swimming within a radius of several meters, and it took a few seconds to dissipate.

The entire test site of the base was filled with the smell of ozone after a thunderstorm.

"It's a bit amazing."

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the smell of gunpowder smoke and ozone dissipated.

Chen Yi, followed by several security personnel, came to the steel plate that was hit.

It was found that in the face of this ion cannon, a steel plate with a thickness of 3 centimeters was melted through a hole with a diameter of more than 40 centimeters.

The edge of the hole is the same as the previous laser cannon attack.

It is in the form of an explosion, which is melted and then cooled

Obviously, this is also an explosion of energy.

A large amount of energy is gathered at one point, and it cannot be transmitted and dispersed in time, causing an explosion.

In addition, the entire steel plate is still in a hot and reddish state.

Obviously, the ion cannon hits and generates a huge current pulse, due to the existence of the steel plate's own resistance, a part of the current is converted into heat, causing the entire steel plate to be heated.

"Pull the distance out, 50 meters to test it."

I recall the image when the ion beam was emitted just now, and the light became brighter and brighter like an electric arc.

Chen Yi seemed to think of something, refilled with enough hydrogen for one launch, and then adjusted the angle of the ion cannon and aimed it at the wall 50 meters away.

"Everyone back up, at least 150 meters."

Chen Yi beckoned all the security personnel to step back.

Including himself, they came to a distance of 150 meters.

Zizizizi!

The ion cannon is charged and ionized again.

After ten minutes, the ionization charge is complete.

Chen Yi waited for a few minutes as usual, and then pressed the launch button.

Backbite!

The red light flashes three times.

Next, the ion beam is emitted.

The ion beam that was launched still emitted a faint glow, and then the light became brighter and brighter, and countless fine arcs began to flicker on the surface.

Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters

When crossing a distance of thirty meters.

The entire ion beam has become several times stronger than the arc of welding.

Forty meters.

Boom.

The entire ion beam suddenly exploded like a ball of lightning.

Countless arcs of electricity bloomed in all directions.

Most of them flocked to the earth, some of them dissipated in the air, and some of them flocked to the street lamps and trees not far away.

The smell of ozone is blowing in the face.

Even if the security personnel who were not wearing insulated protective clothing were 150 meters away, they felt their hairs stand on end, and their bodies were filled with static electricity.

"It's like the UHV line didn't lose power and fell down."

"If you don't wear insulated protective clothing, if you get close, you'll die."

Chen Yi estimated that it was because of the charge effect.

To put it bluntly, the electric energy released by the explosion just now formed a strong electric field.

As long as it is within 10 meters, it will die.

Within 15 meters, it may die because of the stepping voltage, and the knowledge of self-rescue may be alive if you know how to save yourself from electric shock.

Even if you are 25 meters away, you can be corona.

If you encounter a southern return to the south, rainy weather, or a river, stagnant water appears, this lethality is even more uncontrollable.

"It's no wonder that it is only suitable as a space-based weapon in space, and it has never been seen in ground applications."

"This thing is a suicide weapon on the ground."

Chen Yi couldn't help but complain.

In contrast, the laser is absorbed by the atmosphere, which will only cause the energy level of the gas to jump and emit light.

This ion beam is absorbed, and the instantaneous strong electric discharge caused by the charge effect is really not something that ordinary people can withstand.

Knowing that the ion cannon could not solve the defects on the ground, there was no need for the next tests.

Chen Yi dismantled the ion cannon he made.

Go back to the room and start tweaking and upgrading to make a real space-based ion cannon.

"5 cores, power, attenuation, efficiency, control, ammo replenishment, open and go!"

"As for energy, lithium battery technology has been mastered to the extreme, there are battery panels in space to charge, unless there is a decay element battery, or a nuclear fusion battery, otherwise there is no point in improving, the main thing is to see the power released by the capacitor instantaneously."

Colorful light blooms.

The premise of ensuring that the highest attribute does not exceed the sum of the other attributes, and does not exceed one-tenth of the lowest stat.

The properties of the Ion Cannon began to adjust drastically.

[Power: 37.8→63.8]

[Attenuation: 2.3→7.3]

[Aesthetics: 3.2→7.1]

[Ammo Refill: 5.7→6.7]

[If a number of attributes are detected beyond the initial value, do you want to read the information?] Yes/No! 】

"Read!"

Chen Yi chose to read, and a lot of information about increasing the power of the ion cannon came to mind.

With the help of the system.

Soon, Chen Yi mastered the content of this technical information.

"This is the same technical basis as increasing the ion propulsion power, and it belongs to one of the branches of electromagnetic technology."

"One step closer to mastering the four fundamental strengths."

Chen Yi sighed.

Then, we continued to adjust the read falloff, efficiency, control, and ammo replenishment stats, and read the technical information one by one.

Based on these techniques, Chen Yi spent four hours designing and three hours producing.

A Ion Cannon with higher initial stats has been remade.

Then, the process goes over again.

All the core attributes have been raised to the extreme again.

Read the technical information. Then, it was redesigned, solar panels were added, laser sights were added, ion thrusters were added, attitude control systems were added, and much more.

On the third day, a space-based ion cannon with a length of more than 30 meters and a widest point of more than 19 meters, which could be folded and unfolded, appeared in front of Chen Yi.

[Item: Overorbital Space-Based Ion Cannon]

[Attributes: Energy x49.2, Power x119, Attenuation x39, Ammo Replenish x119, Efficiency x69, Control x99, Beautiful x12, Movement x8.9, Energy Replenish x46.4]

[Note: This is a shocking and powerful superorbital space-based ion cannon.]

Its attacks can be aimed at the planet, causing regional weather changes, and it can also lock on to space and destroy common satellites, space fighters, starships, and so on.

Note that for full performance, place it in orbit at an altitude of 66,000 km facing the star before using it. 】

"66,000 km altitude facing the star"

"This is to avoid the boundaries of the geomagnetic field, so that the ion cannon can collect hydrogen ions from the solar wind and space on its own."

"Otherwise, with the protection of the geomagnetic field, hydrogen ions will not be able to get close to the planet at all."

Chen Yi understood at a glance the meaning of the 66,000-kilometer altitude in the remarks evaluation.

That is the boundary range of evasion from the geomagnetic field.

The geomagnetic field that protects the planet is a huge range.

Facing the direction of the star, below the altitude of 65,000 kilometers, the direction of the back to the star, beyond the distance between the Earth and the Moon, even the Moon is covered.

If you are in this range, it is difficult for the solar wind to blow in, and it is difficult for hydrogen ions to be collected.

"However, if you arrange a space-harvesting starship, use the starship to replenish hydrogen ions, and this overorbital space-based ion cannon will be no problem to be deployed in low-earth orbit."

"I don't care about this, let Lao Zhang give them a headache."

"Tomorrow the moon drone will come back, and I will go to the moon to mine."

Chen Yi yawned, took a picture of the ion cannon and sent it to Professor Zhang, and then went up to the bedroom on the third floor to get ready for sleep.
