Chapter 121: Thoughts about proton weapons


   Rong elephant dragged a pile of wreckage of ancient civilization starship back to the battleship. The wreckage is not small in size, almost two-thirds the size of an intermediate battleship, and should be enough for the scientists on the battleship to study it for a while.
And because the old nests of the space mayfly were blown out by the elephant, so that the surrounding asteroids are now in a mess, countless space mayfly shuttles seem to be trying to find the guys who do the destruction... Unfortunately, no Rongxiang's concealed intermediate battleship was also discovered.
   "Return! Keep the firepower suppressed, we will return to the Steel Barrier as soon as possible. I don't want our entire ship to be covered with disgusting mucus!" Xueyan Ling said decisively. Her current heart is absolutely suppressing excitement. You must know that her original goal for this cruise is to find some such ‘junk’, hoping to analyze some useful technologies from it. Unexpectedly, the goal has been achieved now, and judging from the images transmitted by the Rong Elephant, those space mayflies turned out to use these spacecraft debris to form a planet-like huge nest!
   So this middle-class warship experienced an extremely ‘tragic’ return. Dozens of space mayflies were chasing the warship'spitting water.' Those viscous gel-like liquids could not even be worn away by the starship-level shields, causing tremendous pressure on the warship's shield system. Only half an hour later, the gelatin broke through the carrier shield of the mid-level battleship and landed on the ship.
   All of a sudden, the hull of the battleship, which was originally bright with a beautiful metallic color, became mottled and ugly, but unexpectedly, but the gelatin did not seem to cause much damage to the battleship?
   This idea of ​​everyone came up, but they heard a bridge staff exclaimed: "There is an asteroid stuck to our ship! No, the weight of the ship has increased, and the output power of our propellers is not enough!"
   "No, the main gun is stuck and cannot be turned. It is recommended to abandon towing the wreck of the starship immediately, otherwise we will not be able to escape..."
Similar sirens kept coming. Although the warship was able to fly, it was getting slower and slower. It seemed that it was about to be completely covered by the gelatin and the asteroids stuck to the ship... But the smoke Aya bite She still insisted on holding her teeth, she really didn't want to give up the remains of ancient civilization she had obtained. Moreover, she has sent a message for help to the Steel Barrier, and she believes that Old Tyron will be able to make it in time.
Rong Xiang turned around without saying a word and walked out of the bridge. He didn't say hello to anyone, but went straight to the hangar and chose a special form of mecha... four-legged support, and the back torso was a whole turret structure. 'Self-propelled turret'!
   After boarding the self-propelled turret, he drove directly out of the hangar after a brief familiarization with the operation. But instead of flying into space, he used a huge rubble sticking to the exit of the hangar as a cover, and then opened fire...
   This self-propelled turret has the same name as its name, it is a turret with increased mobility. But since it is classified as a mecha, of course there is something extraordinary... that is, after sacrificing all other functions, its shelling is extremely fast and powerful!
   "Boom!"
A cluster of condensed red energy was bombed out, directly bombarding the surface of an asteroid stuck to the battleship... Suddenly, the asteroid quickly shattered into powder from where it was hit, and then again. The crumbling area quickly extends inward. However, instead of turning into powder, the entire asteroid exploded into fine gravel directly after dense cracks appeared like a spider web.
   "So amazing?!" Rong Xiang was also taken aback. He didn't even see what was going on with the weapon system of the self-propelled turret just now, anyway, it was aiming and bombing. Because he knew that the most important thing now was to reduce the weight of the warship, even if the explosion might damage the hull a little.
   But when he found that the power of the gun was really great, he took a look at the weapon system of the self-propelled turret. He unexpectedly discovered that this turned out to be a ‘proton cannon’!
   accelerates a group of high-energy protons to a quarter of the speed of light and then emits them. Although it cannot directly destroy atoms like subluminal proton bombardment, it can also affect the structure of matter at the molecular level.
   Proton Cannon, this is an extreme physical attack. Unlike lasers that are attacked by high-energy photons, proton beams have both energy and mass bidirectionality. Not only can they attack matter at a molecular level, they can also cause huge damage to energy shields like kinetic energy weapons.
   Rong Elephant was shocked. This was the attack method he had been looking for while taking into account both energy and qualitative aspects. It was just that he wondered why few Avalon or mechas would be equipped with such powerful weapons?
  While he was thinking about this issue, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com continued to bombard them continuously, dispersing the asteroids attached to the battleship at an extremely fast speed, and allowing the battleship to maintain the speed of separation.
   In fact, the things he was thinking about had already been answered in this constant bombardment. He found that this self-propelled turret sacrificed all other functions, because it needs enough internal space to house the powerful electromagnetic coil!
   The proton is a positively charged particle. In theory, the use of it is not much different from the Gaussian weapon. But in order to accelerate it enough to cause damage, it must be a Gauss coil with sufficient power and sufficient precision. Obviously, ordinary Avalon and Mecha do not have such conditions, because they have no room to guarantee other functions because they hit such a Gaussian coil. That's why a strange mecha with a self-propelled turret came out, but it was also classified as a special function mecha.
   Rong Xiang felt like a cannon at this time, because he found that although it was a bit difficult, he could definitely control the flow of protons like an ordinary electric current! And because the proton itself has a positive charge, in theory, as long as the method is mastered, it can even be better controlled than the metal warhead of a general Gaussian weapon!
   But now, isn't it the best opportunity for him to get acquainted? Moreover, when he was cleaning up the boulders on the battleship without breaking the artillery, he also used the auxiliary system to display the detailed description of this proton weapon on the side of his retina. He was really interested in this amazing weapon.
Now he even has the urge to transform his longbow sharp arrow into a proton weapon if he is free... As for the problem that ordinary coils can’t accelerate protons to a level of lethality, he also feels that he can use it. Make up with your own talent...
