Chapter 72 Plasma Weapon
…
"Report!" A soldier held a long knife at his waist and ran into the Shaanxi-Gansu Governor's Mansion with his head bowed. When he saw the Governor, he immediately knelt down on one knee: "Report to the Governor, tens of thousands of identities have appeared in the northwest.
Unknown people…”
Huang Tinggui, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, frowned slightly, sat down with a puff of sleeves, and asked: "Tell me the situation quickly..."
"Reporting to the Governor, the enemy is entrenched on the plain. It seems that they are setting up camp. According to my observation, they look like heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals..." the soldiers reported.
"Pah——"
Huang Tinggui smashed the tea cup on the table to pieces...
"Nonsense, where did the heavenly soldiers and generals come from? Are you blind?"
The soldier was so frightened by the sound of throwing bowls that he trembled all over, and said tremblingly: "The big...sir...the little one didn't lie. They can sit in the monster's mouth and fly in the sky. At the same time, the monster is also
They will make a deafening "doo-doo" roar...and their clothes and armor are the smallest I have ever seen. They can also sit in the mouth of a land monster, and the monster's butt can also emit black smoke..."
"His grandma, it's really a ghost... Come here, order 30,000 troops, and I will meet them. I want to see who these pretenders are..."
After saying that, Huang Tinggui, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, stood up and walked out of the meeting hall...

Five days later.
Main world.
A temporary S.H.I.E.L.D. base in suburban New York.
Scientific researchers reported that the experimental plasma rifle model has been assembled.
Sun Yu took Ada to the laboratory of the Science and Technology Research and Development Department.
As soon as he entered the door, Sun Yu saw the governor and Sarah standing in front of a metal round table.
Seeing Sun Yu coming, Sarah said: "This is a sample gun, come and take a look."
Walking to the small metal round table, Sun Yu looked at the plasma rifle placed on the table.
The overall appearance of the plasma rifle is rectangular with sharp edges and corners. It is modularly assembled and looks quite sci-fi.
Sun Yu stretched out his hands and picked up the experimental gun directly: "Wow, it's very light..."
Governor: "This plasma rifle is the main weapon of the T-101. The core parts of the whole gun are made of lightweight titanium alloy, and the external protective parts are made of carbon fiber materials. The overall weight of the whole gun is 4.6kg, the length is 112mm, and the widest part on the left and right is 5cm
, the average length of the whole gun is 16cm up and down, and 4.4cm left and right."
Sun Yu nodded with satisfaction and began to try to aim...
"Introduce the function." Sun Yu said.
Governor: "Plasma rifles use deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, as the main raw material for condensed plasma, and are built together with a hydrogen fuel cell. In traditional terms, it is a magazine... When the magazine is inserted into the gun body, the magazine
The built-in hydrogen fuel cell will power the rifle, and liquid deuterium is mixed with a small amount of metallic nickel in proportion to be fired as a plasma 'bullet'."
Sun Yu continued to play with the plasma rifle and asked: "Is liquid deuterium easy to get?"
Governor: "It's not easy to do. Currently on Earth, we can electrolyze water to produce hydrogen, then centrifuge the hydrogen to obtain deuterium rods, and then further centrifuge to produce liquid deuterium. The output is pitifully low..."
Sun Yu turned to look at the governor: "Is it so troublesome?"
The governor nodded: "There is another isotope that can be substituted, and that is helium 3..."
Sun Yu: "Helium 3? As far as I know, there is a large amount of helium 3 stored on the moon."
Governor: "Yes."
"Where did the deuterium in the network come from that day?" Sun Yu asked.
"Built a lot of deuterium centrifuge plants," the governor replied.
Sun Yu: "..."
Sun Yu: "Take your time with these, while you introduce the others."
The governor walked up to Sun Yu, took the plasma rifle, and began to introduce it to Sun Yu:
"The principle is to extract a small amount of liquid deuterium from the 'magazine', and when it is transferred to the condensation chamber, it will be converted into gas. The interior is restrained in the cavity of the condensation chamber by a strong electromagnetic field, and at the same time, high-frequency resonance ionization is performed.
It heats up quickly and turns it into plasma quickly, and finally the plasma is pushed out of the barrel by a strong magnetic field and emitted."
"How powerful is it?" Sun Yu asked.
"The power and speed can be adjusted freely. In normal mode, the temperature is 12000°, the firing rate is 1200 times/minute, the initial velocity is 5% of the speed of light, and under a standard atmospheric pressure, the firing range is 2000 meters. At a distance of 500 meters,
It can burn through a 30mm thick cold-rolled steel plate, and it can still burn through a 10mm-thick cold-rolled steel plate at a distance of 2,000 meters. The weapon attribute is burning."
"Since the temperature in the atmosphere will be quickly absorbed by the atmosphere, the effect of using this weapon is better in the vacuum environment of the universe."
"The advantage of this rifle is that its ballistic trajectory is hardly affected by gravity because the mass of the emitted plasma is extremely low, but its disadvantage is that the energy decays quickly under standard atmospheric pressure."
Sun Yu nodded and continued to ask: "What about other modes?"
Governor: "There is also a high temperature mode. Since the heating time will be lengthened, the corresponding rate of fire will also be reduced, but the power will be greatly increased."
"In high temperature mode, the temperature is 20,000°, the firing rate is 500 times/minute, the initial velocity is 5% of the speed of light, and under a standard atmospheric pressure, the firing range is 2,000 meters. At a distance of 500 meters, it can burn through 60mm thick cold-rolled steel
Steel plate can burn through a 20mm thick cold-rolled steel plate at a distance of 2,000 meters."
"The last mode is the ultra-high temperature and high pressure mode. This mode can only be fired once and is mostly used for sniping long-distance targets. The launch temperature is 30,000°, the initial velocity is 6% of the speed of light, and under a standard atmospheric pressure, the range is 5,000 meters.
At a distance of 500 meters, it can burn through a 90mm thick cold-rolled steel plate, at a distance of 2,000 meters, it can burn through a 50mm-thick cold-rolled steel plate, and at a distance of 5,000 meters, it can burn through a 10mm-thick cold-rolled steel plate."
"The three modes have different firing times for a single magazine. The regular mode can fire 1,000 times; the high-temperature mode can fire 400 times; the ultra-high temperature and high-pressure mode can only fire 50 times."
"It's a good thing. It's definitely a good thing. Are there any shortcomings?" Sun Yu asked.
The governor continued: "The disadvantage is...compared to assault rifles that fire conventional projectiles, plasma rifles cause burning damage to the human body, and they must penetrate when hit. They will only make a hole with a diameter of 8mm, and the damage is weak.
"
"After the bullets of traditional assault rifles hit the human body, they will rotate irregularly and at high speed inside the body, causing great damage to the interior of the human body. This is something that high-temperature plasma weapons cannot do."
"But if you shoot a few more times or hit the vital point directly, the effect will be the same."
Sun Yu: "What about the advantages?"
"The advantages are extremely high penetration, stable ballistics, extremely low recoil, and excellent results when used in space. Since thermal attenuation can only be released through radiation, this will also give it an ultra-long range. If it is a large-caliber gun weapon,
Very suitable as a naval gun..."
Sun Yu was very satisfied with these attributes and immediately ordered: "Produce 100 of these plasma rifles as quickly as possible. I will be of great use."
