Chapter 869 Who said this gun is for people?
Dead silence.
A silence more complete than any cemetery.
On the viewing platform, there were those generals of the Republic who had once laughed and chatted in the hail of bullets and remained calm in the face of crumbling mountains.
At this moment, they were all like statues under a collective petrification spell, frozen in place.
Their mouths were unconsciously open, and in their eyes, which had seen life and death, there was only a kind of... dullness that came from seeing something that was completely beyond the limits of their cognition.
Their gazes, through the thick layer of reinforced glass, were fixed on the "Apocalypse" tank a hundred meters away, which represented the highest glory of the Russian Army.
It was nailed into the bowl-sized hole on its front armor that was said to be indestructible and still emitted wisps of green smoke.
Jiang Chaoyang looked down at the sci-fi-looking rifle in his hand, then looked up at the hideous hole in the distance.
His brain completely shut down at this moment.
All the color had drained away from his face, which was always filled with arrogance and anger.
His hand, which had just pulled the trigger, began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Damn it..."
After a long time, he finally squeezed out these words from his throat.
"Is this... a fucking gun?"
"This shot is almost as powerful as a 125mm main gun in terms of armor-piercing power..."
His words also expressed the thoughts of everyone present.
It's not like they haven't seen powerful weapons before.
But all the weapons they have seen still follow the most basic physical laws of this world.
The power displayed by the "gun" in front of us is beyond the description of the word "powerful".
"Xiao Fang..."
Jiang Chaoyang turned his head suddenly, an unprecedented ecstasy burning in his tiger eyes. He stared at Fang Yu and asked.
"What on earth is this gun of yours called?!"
Fang Yu looked at the expressions of the crowd who looked as if they had seen a ghost, and the calm smile that always hung on his face became even brighter.
He knew that his "little toy" had successfully shocked these arrogant old generals.
He cleared his throat and began to introduce this epoch-making weapon to them.
"Actually, the principle of this gun is not complicated."
"Uncle Jiang, fellow commanders, you can think of this as a much smaller version of our previous 'Thor's Hammer'."
"We call it the 'Personal Gauss Kinetic Rifle'."
"Codename: 'Zhulong'."
"It has no gunpowder, nor any chemical propellant. Its power comes from the massive electrical energy inside the gun, provided by our newly developed 'micro cold nuclear fusion battery.'"
"What it fires aren't conventional bullets. Instead, they're needle-sized 'metal needles' made of high-density tungsten alloy and confined in a strong magnetic field."
"Every time you pull the trigger, tens of thousands of superconducting coils inside the gun will activate one after another within a ten-millionth of a second, forming a powerful, linear magnetic field that continuously accelerates."
"The metal needle, inside the two-meter-long barrel, was accelerated to a speed we could never have imagined before."
He paused and said a number that was enough to make everyone's scalp tingle.
"According to our calculations, its muzzle velocity is approximately between Mach 7 and 8."
Mach 8, this number exploded in everyone's mind like a silent atomic bomb.
This means that the speed of the bullet is eight times faster than sound.
This means that by the time you hear the gunshot, you or your enemy has already turned into a cold corpse.
“It is for this reason,”
Fang Yu continued, pointing at Jiang Chaoyang's shoulders that were still as steady as a rock.
"It has almost no recoil. It's not 'pushing' the bullet, but 'pulling' it. All the kinetic energy is applied to that tiny metal needle."
"As for its range..."
He raised his head and glanced at the huge holographic projection on the viewing stand, which displayed all the incredible parameters of the gun.
"Under the Earth's gravity, its effective and accurate range is approximately four thousand meters."
"And its maximum parabolic range can easily exceed five thousand meters..."
Hearing all the information about this gun, it sounds like the incredible data that only appears in science fiction novels.
The shock on the faces of the generals present had completely transformed into an uncontrollable ecstasy.
They no longer cared about the general's prestige and dignity.
Like children seeing their favorite toys, they rushed down from the viewing platform one after another.
They gathered around the rifle named "Zhulong", carefully stroking its futuristic-looking gun body one by one.
"Oh my goodness, a four-thousand-meter effective range? That's almost as good as a sniper gun!"
"No recoil? Doesn't that mean that as long as you can see, you can hit it?"
"Great stuff! Great stuff! Xiao Fang, this gun... can we mass-produce it right away? Give my troops 10,000 of them first!"
A group of big shots who can make the whole world tremble just by stomping their feet.
At this moment, like a group of rookies who had never seen the world, they surrounded this epoch-making weapon and expressed their most sincere admiration without ceasing.
However, just when everyone was still immersed in this great joy.
As the first person to "try something new", Jiang Chaoyang keenly discovered the most critical and fatal problem after the initial excitement wore off.
He tried again, raising the gun with one hand.
But the weight was so heavy that it was almost exaggerated, and even his arm, which was strong enough to lift hundreds of pounds easily, felt a strain.
"wrong……"
He frowned, and the joy on his face was replaced by a hint of solemnity.
He turned his head and said to Fang Yu.
"Xiao Fang, your gun is indeed a good gun, a better gun than anyone has ever seen."
"But the problem is, it's too heavy."
"This thing must weigh at least 40 kilograms. Forget ordinary soldiers. Even the top special forces soldiers in our army wouldn't be able to carry out long-term, high-intensity combat with it."
"Because just lifting it up took all their strength..."
Jiang Chaoyang's words were like a bucket of cold water, accurately poured on everyone's minds that had just become a little hot due to ecstasy.
Yes, no matter how powerful a weapon is, if the soldiers cannot use it, it is just a pile of useless scrap metal.
Hearing this, Fang Yu just smiled indifferently.
"Uncle Jiang, who said...I designed this rifle for ordinary soldiers?"
His words stunned everyone present.
Then, he raised his hand and spoke in a calm tone into a miniature communicator on his collar.
"come in."
After a while.
"Boom-thump-thump-"
Waves of heavy noises, so loud that they seemed to make the entire earth tremble, slowly came from the huge alloy entrance of the stadium.
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Then, they saw it.
A dark red color throughout, full of lines that combine the classical aesthetics of Dragon Country with a futuristic sci-fi feel.
A giant figure in power armor, nearly three meters tall, walked in step by step with steady and powerful steps.
Its shape is very similar to the Ming Guang armor worn by the ancient generals of the Dragon Kingdom, but every component is full of the precision and power of modern industry.
On the heavy shoulder armor, there is a lifelike and ferocious dragon head carved.
The heart-guard on the chest is a circular energy core that continuously emits a light blue energy halo.
Its thick, hydraulic-pillar-like metal limbs emit a heart-pounding, dull roar with every step it takes on the ground.
Behind it, there is also a small flying backpack full of technology.
Just like that, under the already dull gaze of the crowd, it slowly walked to the center of the venue.
Then, it stopped in front of the "Zhulong" rifle.
"laugh--"
Accompanied by a slight sound of hydraulic gas leaking, the armor on the chest of the giant armor slowly opened upwards.
The complex interior of the cockpit, filled with various lines and display screens, was revealed.
Then, a familiar figure jumped out of the machine lightly.
It was Zhang Zhigang who had not been seen for a long time...
