"Not suitable for the heavy atmospheric environment on the ground. Please pay attention to safety when using it?"
Look at the comments and comments about this ion cannon.
Chen Yi recalled the first time he tested the laser cannon, and he seemed to have similar comments.
That scene at that time.
It's still impressive when I think about it now.
"It seems that this thing, despite its reasonable design, is still quite dangerous."
Chen Yi muttered, holding the individual ion cannon in his arms, and walked over to the base's testing ground.
Although from the comments evaluation analysis.
This test launch carries risks.
But now, he, Boss Chen, is no longer the former Boss Chen, but a Boss Chen who has his own separate base.
A professional testing ground configured at the base.
Unless it is cloud explosive bombs, thermobaric bombs, space-based accelerated kinetic energy weapons, little boys, etc., the existence of heroes is judged by their equivalent.
With conventional weapons, there is no need to worry about problems.
"It's a little lighter than the previous laser cannon, just over 30 pounds. However, it hasn't been charged yet."
Carrying the ion cannon came to the testing site.
Chen Yi flushed it with some hydrogen and fixed it on a bracket.
Then he drove a forklift and pulled in pieces of steel plates, cement boards, plastic boards, sandbags, buckets filled with water, etc., and placed them ten meters away from the ion cannon to test the attack effect of the ion cannon on various items.
"We still need a few life-saving things."
Chen Yila brought two integrated mobile air conditioners.
I changed into a long-sleeved suit, then put on a set of safety clothing specially designed for high-voltage electricians, which was insulated according to the "Faraday cage" principle, and put on double-layer insulating gloves.
"and this."
Get your gear on.
Finally, Chen Yi took out a pair of special sunglasses used by welders and put them on to prevent his eyes from being stung 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 being emitted.
Due to atmospheric absorption, the positive charge contained in the ions is released, causing air discharge.
Now put on your insulating protective safety clothing.
Wear insulating gloves and sunglasses to prevent arc stabbing, and your safety will be no problem.
"Chief!"
Just when Chen Yi was about to start the test launch.
The security personnel who had noticed the situation here suddenly ran over.
"Otherwise, let us start it. We are professionals."
Seeing Chen Yi fully armed, the security guard thought for a while and made his request.
But they heard about it.
When he was working on laser weapons before, Chen Yi was fully armed like this, and then there were signs of phosphorus burning at the test site.
The security personnel at the time were so frightened that they almost performed an on-site amputation on Chen Yi.
"It's okay. I prepared the 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 the laser weapon, he was still very good at taking his own safety measures.
"Everyone, please stay back and don't get close. This thing should discharge electricity."
Signal all security personnel to retreat until they are nearly 100 meters away.
Chen Yi, wearing insulating safety clothing, also stepped back dozens of meters, and then pressed the ionization charging button on the remote control.
Sizzle!
Thin sound of electricity.
It can be heard slightly from dozens of meters away.
The hydrogen gas rushing in is ahead of the action of the electric field.
The electrons are broken apart, leaving exposed hydrogen ions that are continuously stored by the electric field.
During the whole process, you can faintly see wisps of electric light swimming in the ionization chamber behind the ion cannon.
The ionization charging continued for more than ten minutes.
With all the hydrogen gas ionized and disassembled, the ion cannon gradually became quiet.
"If you are in space and directly collect high-energy hydrogen ions from the solar wind and free space, this step can be omitted."
Chen Yi did not rush to press the launch button.
Instead, it waits for the free electrons that have just been released by ionization to be completely absorbed by the environment to avoid imbalance of the electric field around the ion cannon, which will affect the subsequent launch effect.
"Okay, let's test the steel plate first."
After waiting for a few minutes, Chen Yi thought about it and made sure that all the processes and safety measures were OK.
Without hesitation, he pressed the transmit button of the remote control.
Beep!
A red light lit up on the side of the ion cannon.
The red light flashes three times.
Suddenly, a beam of light shot out.
At first, the beam was very weak, giving off a faint glow.
But as time went by, the beam became brighter and brighter, and wisps of arcs also traveled on the surface.
The next moment, the ion beam hit the steel plate accurately.
boom! ! !
A dazzling light blooms.
Flying metal sparks, deafening explosions.
It broke out almost at the same time, and the light resounded throughout the entire base.
Arcs of electric arcs crackled like electric snakes, swimming in a radius of several meters, and it took several seconds to dissipate.
The entire test site of the base was filled with the smell of ozone after a thunderstorm.
"This power is 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, the 3-centimeter-thick steel plate was melted through a hole of more than 40 centimeters in diameter.
The edge of the hole is the same as the previous laser cannon attack.
It exhibits an explosive radial shape, a state of melting and then cooling.
Obviously, this is also an explosion of energy.
A large amount of energy gathered at one point and could not be dissipated in time, causing an explosion.
In addition, the entire steel plate is still in a hot and reddish state.
Obviously, the ion cannon generates a huge current pulse the moment it hits. Due to the resistance of the steel plate itself, part of the current is converted into heat, causing the entire steel plate to be heated.
"Put the distance further and test it at 50 meters."
Recalling the scene where the ion beam was emitted just now, the light became brighter and brighter like an arc.
Chen Yi seemed to have thought of something and recharged the hydrogen gas enough for one shot, then adjusted the angle of the ion cannon and aimed it at the wall 50 meters away.
"Everyone should step back, at least 150 meters."
Chen Yi called all the security personnel to step back.
Including himself, they came to a distance of 150 meters.
Sizzle!
The ion cannon recharges to ionize.
After ten minutes, ionization charging is completed.
Chen Yi waited for a few minutes as usual, and then pressed the launch button.
Beep!
The red light flashes three times.
Next, the ion beam is fired.
The emitted ion beam still emitted a faint glow, and then the light became brighter and brighter, and countless fine arcs began to flash on the surface.
Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters
When crossing a distance of thirty meters.
The entire ion beam has become several times more intense than a welding arc.
Forty meters.
There was a bang.
The entire ion beam suddenly exploded like a ball of lightning.
Countless electric arcs bloomed and traveled in all directions.
Most of them flowed to the earth, some of them dissipated in the air, and some of them flowed to the street lamps and trees not far away.
The smell of ozone hits my face.
Even 150 meters away, the security personnel who were not wearing insulating protective clothing felt like their hairs were standing on end and their whole bodies were filled with static electricity.
"It's like the UHV power line fell down without losing power."
"If you don't wear insulating protective clothing, you will die if you get close."
Chen Yi estimated that it was because of the charge effect.
To put it bluntly, the electric energy released in an instant formed a strong electric field.
As long as you are within 10 meters, you will die.
Within a range of 15 meters, you may die due to step voltage, but you may survive if you know how to save yourself from electric shock.
Even if you are 25 meters away, you may be stunned.
If it encounters rainy weather from the south, or water accumulation by the river, the lethality will be even more uncontrollable.
"No wonder it is only suitable as a space-based weapon and has never been used on the ground."
"This thing, on the ground, is a suicide weapon that can't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy."
Chen Yi couldn't help but complain.
Compared with laser being absorbed by the atmosphere, it will only cause the energy level transition of the gas and emit light.
This ion beam is absorbed, and the instantaneous release of strong electricity caused by the charge effect is really not something ordinary people can withstand.
After understanding the shortcomings of the ion cannon that cannot be solved on the ground, there is no need to conduct subsequent tests.
Chen Yi dismantled the ion cannon he made.
Go back to the room and start adjusting and upgrading to make a real space-based ion cannon.
"Five cores, power, attenuation, efficiency, control, ammunition replenishment, let's do it!"
"As for energy, lithium battery technology has been mastered to the extreme. There are battery panels in space for charging. Unless we use decay element batteries or nuclear fusion batteries, there is no point in improving it. The main thing is to see the power released instantly by the capacitor."
Colorful lights bloom.
Ensure that the highest attribute does not exceed the sum of other attributes and does not exceed one-tenth of the lowest attribute.
The properties of the ion cannon began to be adjusted drastically.
【Power: 37.8→63.8】
[Attenuation: 2.3→7.3]
【Aesthetics: 3.2→7.1】
[Ammunition replenishment: 5.7→6.7]
[Detected that multiple attributes exceed the initial value. Do you want to read the information? whether! 】
"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 these technical information.
"This is the same technical basis as increasing ion propulsion power, and it belongs to one of the branches of electromagnetic technology."
"It's one step closer to mastering the four basic powers."
Chen Yi sighed.
Then, continue to adjust the read attenuation, efficiency, control, and ammunition replenishment attributes, and read the technical information one by one.
Based on these technologies, Chen Yi spent four hours designing and three hours producing.
An ion cannon has been remade with higher initial attributes.
Then, the process starts over again.
All core attributes have been improved to the extreme again.
Read the technical information. Then, redesign it, add solar panels, add laser sights, add ion thrusters, attitude control systems, etc.
On the third day, a brand-new and shocking space-based ion cannon that was over 30 meters long and over 19 meters wide at its widest point, which could be folded and unfolded, appeared in front of Chen Yi.
[Item: Hyperorbital space-based ion cannon]
[Attributes: energy x49.2, power x119, attenuation x39, ammunition replenishment x119, efficiency x69, control x99, beauty x12, movement x8.9, energy replenishment x46.4]
[Note: This is a shocking and powerful super-orbital space-based ion cannon that can form a powerful deterrent.
Its attack can be aimed at the planet, triggering regional meteorological changes, or it can be targeted at space to destroy common satellites, space fighters, starships, etc.
Note that to achieve full performance, please place it into an orbit facing the star at an altitude of 66,000 kilometers before using it. 】
"At an altitude of 66,000 kilometers facing the star"
"This is the boundary that avoids the geomagnetic field, allowing the ion cannon to collect hydrogen ions from the solar wind and space."
"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 what the altitude of 66,000 kilometers in the comment evaluation meant.
That is the boundary range to avoid the geomagnetic field.
The geomagnetic field that protects the planet is a very large one.
The direction facing the star is below an altitude of 65,000 kilometers, and the direction facing away from the star exceeds the distance between the earth and the moon, and even the moon is covered together.
If it is within this range, it is difficult for solar wind to blow in and hydrogen ions to be collected.
"However, if we deploy a space collection starship and use the starship to replenish hydrogen ions, there is no problem in deploying this super-orbital space-based ion cannon to low-Earth orbit."
"Ignore this, let Lao Zhang and the others have a headache."
"Tomorrow the moon landing drone will come back and go to the moon to mine."
Chen Yi yawned, took a photo of the ion cannon and sent it to Professor Zhang, and then went up to the bedroom on the third floor to prepare for bed.
