Chapter 818 Seeing Can’t Eat
What appeared on the screen was a personal weapon.
At first glance it looks like some kind of cutting tool, divided into two segments with the same upper and lower structure. The curved body is connected by the trigger guard, creating a unique streamlined appearance.
"I named it the Rainstorm Plasma Pistol. Like the previous weapon, it can also fire fully automatically. Its upper and lower parts are plasma generators, which generate plasma in "interactive" mode and Launch, this design can achieve a faster rate of fire. Although it is a one-handed weapon, it can create a terrible rain of plasma bullets, but correspondingly, the generator will generate a lot of heat, so it has a fuse mechanism , it will temporarily shut down to cool down when the temperature reaches a certain level."
Then, the internal structure of the weapon appeared in front of everyone.
"It uses superheated ionized gas as ammunition. The internal workings of the weapon are accomplished by several components, including a power unit - which keeps the weapon operational, powers the magnetic containment field, and performs the firing cycle. Likewise, it also has Semi-automatic and fully-automatic modes. In semi-automatic mode, it can fire 100 rounds per minute, and in fully-automatic mode, it can fire 250 rounds. Although it is a one-handed weapon, it has good lethality. The victim's wounds will be damaged after being hit. Instantly cauterizes, body fluids will be evaporated quickly, causing a kinetic energy impact on the body after being hit. Even at close range, it has enough heat transfer and kinetic energy to easily penetrate the victim. Due to the particularity of plasma ammunition, at close range When shooting at an armored target, splash damage is caused, producing non-heated and heated fragments that may come into contact with the target and have a disabling or lethal effect."
Then there are the weapon parameters:
Length: 62.1cm
Width: 25.4cm
Height: 37.3cm
Weight: 20.9KG
Ammunition type: superheated plasma
Ammunition supply system: 100 battery cells
Firing mode: semi-automatic/fully automatic
shooting Speed: 100 rounds/minute or 250 rounds/minute
Effective range: 200 meters
After listening to the introduction, Soshyan quickly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the weapon.
Its advantage is that it can cause very high damage in a short period of time, and it can also cause fatal damage to heavily armored targets. As long as enough infantry are equipped with this gun, they can create terrible fire coverage. area, and because it is a one-handed weapon, it is also very suitable for use in narrow spaces, such as ship cabins, and such places require high rates of fire.
In short, this is a perfect gang-hopping weapon.
But the shortcomings are also obvious. Due to the rapid circulation of energy, plasma will quickly overheat during continuous emission, and its range is relatively limited. In addition, its appearance is too "alien" and can easily arouse suspicion. gaze.
"How long will it take to produce this thing? I mean after the materials and instruments are in place."
"The production process of this weapon is slightly simpler than the former, and mass production can begin in about two years."
>"Same, make a list."
After saying that, Soshiyang stepped forward and smiled:
"Are there any big guys?"
"Yes."
Dietrian nodded, switched the screen, and a completely black aircraft appeared on it.
“The dark night stealth reconnaissance boat is 85 meters long and weighs 900 tons. It is equipped with two shaped plasma cannons and four weapon racks. It has a very high level of automation and only requires two pilots. Capable of carrying 20 Astartes warriors, as well as a light vehicle, it is suitable for planetary infiltration and deployment of ground action groups. "
"Features"
"The ship is extremely powerful. In addition to the special materials on the outer coating of the machine body that block thermal radiation, the programmable optical camouflage coating, and the heat sink that can delay the release of thermal radiation, it is also equipped with a powerful anti-scanning interference device that can falsify the amount of radiation. and sensor shapes to disguise themselves as low-threat targets, wreckage, or even enemy ships, and even a device called a shielded fusion drive that allows the engine to operate without being detected by the heat field."
"So powerful?"
"It is also equipped with an active detection system no less than that of a battleship, including analysis from enemy sensors and a threat early warning and tracking system. When discovered, it will be the first to Time releases a variety of consumables, including heat sinks and decoy jammers that can confuse enemy sensors and disable enemy locks."
"What is the actual effect?"
"It needs to be tested. It is known, but judging from the relevant data, it should be able to avoid the vast majority of existing scanning equipment.”
If the previous light weapons were of tactical significance, then the dark night stealth reconnaissance boat is extremely important. Equipment of high strategic value.
Imagine that dozens of Astartes quietly passed through the surveillance system of the planet's orbit, avoided the scanning of the ground, and took advantage of the night to directly descend on the enemy's center. What a terrifying thing!
In the era of the Great Crusade, there may still be such an ability, but since the Great Heresy, there are only a few vehicles that the Astartes Chapter can use, but none of them have this ability. "It's difficult to make this thing."
Correspondingly, even Soshiyang, who doesn't know much about technology, knows that the more powerful things are, the more expensive they are.
“Not only is it difficult, the materials required for this type of ship are very expensive. If we look at the cost alone, I have roughly calculated that it is no less than a moon-class cruiser.”
"Hiss——"
Although he guessed that it was expensive, Soshyan really didn't expect it to be so expensive.
A ship less than a kilometer long is priced at the same price as a giant ship several kilometers long.
"No matter what, you still list the required supplies and equipment, and I will try my best to find a way."
Soshiyang didn't ask how long it would take to make it. Now It was still unknown whether he could get the relevant materials together, so he didn't worry about that anymore!
"The next thing I want to introduce is a grenade."
What Dietrian introduced is a plasma grenade.
This grenade is spherical in shape and is very simple to use, just activate the switch located in the orange area of the grenade.
When detonated, the grenade will first start to discharge the coolant. After the coolant is discharged, the internal plasma generator loses stability, and the grenade will explode in about 3 seconds.
At the same time, the grenade contains some kind of magnetic device inside. Just activate the blue area when it is activated, and it will stick directly to the vehicle, but not to the organism.
Once a vehicle is stuck to it, there is no normal way to remove it. Only equipment like an advanced electromagnetic shield can temporarily disable its detonator, making it an efficient anti-infantry and anti-vehicle grenade.
After the grenade explodes, all objects within the killing range will be immediately affected by extremely high temperatures - whether they are natural objects or other objects, they will evaporate immediately.
Because there is no magnetic field to contain the plasma, it will begin to cool rapidly and disappear - thermal expansion continues, and the resulting heat ripples outward and upward, continuing to burn areas ten meters away until the resulting flame cools to the point where it cannot continue to expand.
At the same time, the explosion radius area will also be filled with positive and negative particles, and these particles will form visible currents in a short time after the explosion.
Therefore, even at a certain distance, the grenade will still pose a threat to certain instruments and cause certain damage to the body.
If you happen to be in the area of the explosion, sorry, the heat will evaporate the liquid inside the flesh and scald the meat and bones to an indiscernible charring state.
When Soshyan heard this, he immediately realized that this thing had the potential to replace the heavy melta bomb. Compared with the latter, the plasma grenade was only as big as an Astartes fist.
"It seems that the former human colony likes plasma weapons. Can this thing be produced now?"
"Yes."
"Okay, this mission I’ll leave it to you.”
Afterwards, Dietrian introduced a series of military equipment, such as small portable shield generators, paint that can increase the armor's resistance to energy weapons, and an unmanned plasma turret that can be concealed.
All these things make Soshiyang very satisfied. If they can be equipped on a large scale, the strength of the battle group will make a qualitative leap.
Of course, this is almost a dream. Although the technology of the ancients was advanced, it had extremely high requirements for materials and processing.
This feeling of being able to see but not eat is extremely heartbreaking, and Soshyan was no exception, so he decided to leave.
However, before leaving, he asked Dietrian to select those basically useless technologies, and he planned to use these to exchange for the supplies and equipment that the battle group urgently needed.
But when he left, Dietrian followed him, and then quietly told Soshyan that in addition to the ones he introduced, there were actually three extremely powerful technologies that had not been publicly introduced because these things were quite taboo. The data pad loaded with these forbidden technologies was then handed over to Soshyan for inspection.
But Soshyan doesn’t have time to look at it yet, because he has another matter, or two women, that must be dealt with immediately——
