As the years passed, Neptune's research base became busier. Even the entire research base has expanded in a circle and has become a super scientific research city.

Although it covers an area of more than 100 miles, it is still completely and strictly militarized. Each project leader, important professor, etc., has at least one secretary, and these secretaries themselves are also trained by the headquarters of Dayang Group.

However, the material life enjoyed by all scientific researchers is beyond imagination. In the scientific research base, it is also free, and out of the scientific research base, it is basically free, that is, there is a special person to accompany you.

In the current world, who does not know the preciousness of scientific researchers.

The buildings in the living area here are not high, mainly three or five floors, and most of them are self-built villas; Only specially designed research laboratory buildings, office buildings, etc., will reach tens or hundreds of meters.

Zhang Hao thought while observing his surroundings.

At present, the research of the rail gun has been successful, but it can only be said that it is a temporary success, the first phase of the plan is successful, and the follow-up research still cannot be stopped.

The physical limit of the current rail gun is 50 kg shells and 500 kilometers per second, which is powerful enough, but it needs to be more powerful. The speed of 500 kilometers per second is still slow in the space environment - the speed of light seems slow!

When Zhang Hao arrived, Lin Yinghao was directing one of his students to test a new rail gun, or more appropriately a 'rail gun'.

Zhang Hao and Zhou Xueyao stood next to them, didn't speak, and watched quietly.

The target of the rail gun is a solidified supernatural power - the end of the world, and it is also a supernatural power at the level of the void.

Among all the cultivation defense methods, the most effective defense against the super weapon of the rail cannon is the supernatural power that is close to the end of the world. If nothing else, as long as it can delay for even 0.1 seconds, it is enough for the masters to transfer.

But supernatural powers are not invincible. In the past, there was a saying in the cultivation world called "Divine powers are invincible for days", and in the current situation, even supernatural powers cannot completely block scientific and technological weapons. The difference is that it is a matter of power.

When testing the rail gun before, it was found that when the power of the rail gun reached a certain limit, specifically when the speed of a kilogram of shells reached 50 times the speed of sound, that is, the standard speed of 25 kilometers per second, the power of the shells would be enough to shatter almost all magical powers.

In the face of such a ferocious rail cannon shell, the once powerful and known as the first means of saving life, the magic power of the end of the world will be shattered like glass, and it will not have the slightest effect.

However, what is being worked on now is a hand-held 'rail gun'.

The research project of the rail gun, Zhang Hao also knows, using multiple nuclear batteries to power the previous generation of guns is about 1.5 meters long, a bit bulky, and the power is also very reluctant.

Now the length has been reduced to 1.2 meters, which looks like the weight has been reduced by at least half, and some of the structures have been made of aluminium and even engineering plastics.

The power of the guns is also considerable, and they can shatter the supernatural powers arranged in front of you. But after penetrating the supernatural power, it doesn't have much lethality, at least it can't pose a threat to the cave void master.

The rail gun was tested several times, and Lin Yinghao shook his head slightly. He encouraged the students: "This gun is still powerful enough, it can threaten the Faxiang, and it may be a threat to the Cave Void level." But what we have to deal with is the war of the stars, and this kind of power is far from enough.

In space, we have to deal with not only more advanced masters, but also masters armed to the teeth. The power of the gun needs to be increased by at least 20 times to be enough.

Well...... The existing structure may not be able to be used, and we should try to think of a new structure. The traditional coil structure has little potential to be tapped. Maybe you can try the electromagnetic slingshot effect that has just been established. Similar to the effect of a gravitational slingshot.

Go ahead. ”

Waiting for the students to leave, Lin Yinghao turned his head to greet Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao smiled and nodded, "Yes, the progress is very good." ”

Lin Yinghao shook his head slightly, frowning a little: "But it's still not enough." Such a gun is in space, and it is not enough to tickle. ”

Zhang Hao shook his head slightly: "In the battle in space, I am not prepared to let cultivators fight directly with flesh and blood. Aren't you going to study mechas, and now the mecha research department has already achieved good results.

You can work with the Mecha Research Department on the Rail Gun. Uses the mecha's energy source as a power source. ”

Lin Yinghao smiled a little proudly: "We also have research on this." However, I still set up a separate project to study portable rail guns. Weapons must be studied in their entirety in order to cope with all possible application scenarios.

Moreover, this kind of research itself is also a technological advancement. Perhaps a little technological progress in guns can be applied to the entire space strategic system and shine brightly. ”

"That's a good point. By the way, what did you just say about the electromagnetic slingshot effect?"

"This is one of the research results of field energy technology. Of course, at present, it is only theoretical, and practical application still needs to be worked on.

The idea of an electromagnetic slingshot was originally inspired by the gravitational slingshot effect of the planet. After all, the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field seem to have something in common.

However, the research has not been sustainable. The reason why planets possess gravitational pull is because of the mass of the planet itself. And the gravitational slingshot itself is not obvious enough.

And to make a weapon, the strength of the magnetic field required is 10 million times that of the planet's gravity just in terms of strength. So, the research hit a dead end at the beginning. At one point, he even had to abandon this kind of research.

However, not long ago, Zhao Dahe and others have achieved certain results in their research on the sun, from which we can see the electromagnetic slingshot effect in nature. That's Rir!

Why can the sun eject tens of millions, or even billions of tons, into the air millions of kilometers in the air?

The largest sunset we have observed was observed last year, when in less than a minute, sunspots erupted from the relatively stationary surface of the sun, and a sunspot appeared at the same time, rising to an altitude of 120 kilometers in 57 seconds for up to 6 minutes.

During this period, the temperature of the sun rose rapidly from about 7,000 degrees Celsius to 2 million degrees.

Of course, the energy on the sun is very large, but under normal circumstances, 7,000 degrees is about the same, and the temperature is slightly higher, 10,000 degrees. But when the temperature rises to 2 million degrees in an instant, there has to be an additional, special channel to provide energy, and it's not a small number. ”

Zhou Xueyao listened and couldn't help but speak: "Is there a naturally formed electromagnetic slingshot on the sun?"

"It's not. ”

Zhou Xueyao: ......

"It's an electromagnetic torsion spring!" Lin Yinghao has already entered the working state of a straight man, "In the process of studying the sun, we found that because the surface of the sun is a plasma layer, coupled with the rotation of the sun, there are distorted magnetic fields on the surface of the sun.

During the rotation of the sun, these magnetic fields will twist and knot, and finally form a series of magnetic field vortices, the length of which can spread to most of the sun's surface, and a large amount of energy and plasma are stored in it.

As the sun continues to rotate, these magnetic forces will continue to twist and accumulate energy. They are constantly tightening like torsion springs.

Until, the moment of collapse.

At that moment, these electromagnetic torsion springs will collapse, and their long-accumulated energy and plasma will suddenly explode and take away the energy from the sun's surface.

As a result, it creates sunspots on the surface of the sun, and it will explode in the sky above them.

Because these electromagnetic torsion springs can spread to half of the surface of the sun, with a length of up to two or three million kilometers, their instantaneous burst of energy is enough to melt the entire Tianyuan Star!

This is a naturally occurring electromagnetic torsion spring. However, the process of its final outbreak is of a collapse nature.

What we want to study is an electromagnetic torsion spring that can be controlled, and its eruption process should be controllable. It was expected to be like a bowstring, providing powerful kinetic energy to the weapon.

That's why we named this kind of research 'Electromagnetic Slingshot'!"

Zhang Hao couldn't help but nodded, this kind of technical research has really gone out of its own way, and it has surpassed the Xuanhuang civilization in this regard. But Zhang Hao is more concerned, what is the result now?

"Although the results are not big, the results are gratifying!" Lin Yinghao smiled, "We have used high-voltage electricity and super magnetic fields to manufacture the first electromagnetic torsion spring in a laboratory environment. At least the threshold has been touched.

It is expected that by one year at the latest, I will be confident that I will come up with phased research results!"

"How long is the electromagnetic torsion spring in the laboratory at present?"

‘...... 5.8mm......'

Zhang Hao's footsteps also paused slightly, and the expectant smile on his face was a little stiff. However, Mr. Zhang quickly adjusted his posture and encouraged with a smile: "Yes, a good start is half the success." I'm sure it won't take long for you to create miracles!"

"Definitely!" Lin Yinghao's face was full of confidence. It's not blindness, it's a belief that has accumulated over the years.

Zhang Hao observed the various types of test rail weapons at the scene again, and then asked about the research of the field energy.

Electromagnetic slingshot technology, apparently, is also part of the field energy. However, Zhang Hao actually wanted to consult about the technology to prevent harmful rays from the universe.

However, Mr. Zhang would like to know the overall situation of the current field energy technology research and what research results have been achieved.

Hearing Zhang Hao's inquiry, Lin Yinghao's face suddenly showed a little smugness: "At present, in the field energy research, in addition to the electromagnetic field and the technology of the rail gun, as well as the electromagnetic pulse, there is another technical achievement. We call it, High Power Microwave!"

"High-power microwaves?" Zhang Hao frowned slightly, feeling a little familiar, "Heating objects?"

"Ha......" Lin Yinghao was a little surprised, "Mr. Zhang is worthy of Mr. Zhang, and he can guess the effect of the technology by his name! ”

"Tell me about it. Zhang Hao was very stable on the surface, but he was more and more sure in his heart, microwave heating...... What a familiar name. It is to use microwave heating for weapons technology, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult.
