"Where's Tesla? A new friend is here, why doesn't he come out to greet him?" Einstein looked around and said.

"He's been working on that Apophis body next door, and he's heard he's made some good discoveries," Planck said.

"Apophis? Is it the one at the mouth of Lincheng, the culprit that caused the destruction of human civilization?" Fermi asked with interest, "Do you have a corpse?"

"Killed during the day, that's a pretty good sample," Plank said.

"Can we go and see?" Noble said.

"Of course, it's in the biology lab next door, but before that, you need to wear a white coat and take precautions."

Afterwards, this group of scientists quickly put on their white coats and walked into the biological laboratory. The stench of blood and flesh coming from the pavement was unbearable for ordinary people. Horrible monsters attract attention.

The body was placed on the planing table, which was just the right size. Perhaps this planing table was originally designed for Apophis.

Although he was dead, the bloody red threads on his body seemed to be still alive and swaying in the wind. The huge human-like mouth was slightly opened, motionless.

But the shocking feeling brought by this kind of alien alien life that does not exist in this world in front of him is something that nothing can give.

"It's unbelievable." Looking at the corpse, Fermi muttered in a daze, "There is really another kind of extraterrestrial life besides human beings, but why have we never seen a similar existence before this?
Sufficiently advanced civilizations should be visible across large swaths of the observable universe.Even if these civilizations are rare.

If they existed at some point in the history of the universe.Then they should be able to be observed for quite a long time, and we should be able to find many signs of their origin within our field of vision. "

Tesla, who was washing his hands on one side, spoke slowly.

"Observed from the same angle and perspective of scale and probability, the earth is a planet in the habitable zone, which possesses and satisfies all the conditions for all biological species to maintain life, survive and evolve.

However, in fact, from the beginning of the Phanerozoic Era in the history of the earth to the present, during the period of more than 5 million years and millions of biological species, only one species has successfully evolved into a higher intelligent life - "human beings", while Non-variety and diversity of advanced intelligent creatures coexist on the earth.

This shows that under the "same conditions", "advanced intelligent life" cannot easily appear and exist. Human beings may not be the only ones, but there will definitely not be too many similar "intelligence". "

Fermi nodded, and then he bowed to Tesla to say hello.

"Mr. Tesla."

Tesla nodded, "I have heard of your name, leading a scientific research team to realize the possibility of human beings converting mass into energy."

"It's an honor to work with you." Fermi smiled.

"Tesla, didn't you say you found something on Apophis?" Einstein asked curiously.

Tesla nodded, and then pointed to a black substance on the biological research bench not far away, which looked like a piece of cloth or some kind of soft metal.

"That is the skin tissue that I extracted from this Apophis with ether particles. I am not a professional biological expert, but I have conducted some simple physical experiments on this skin tissue.

Its blood and hair are highly corrosive, comparable to sulfuric acid, so its skin has corresponding corrosion resistance, good current passing ability, and unexpectedly has the characteristics of a metal-like conductor.

In addition, their skin can resist high temperatures, at least hundreds of degrees of high temperature can withstand a period of time, if you use incendiary bombs to attack it, the effect may not be very satisfactory.

Secondly, this kind of skin is very hard and can resist cutting to a certain extent, but the most powerful thing is not this. "

Tesla picked up that skin.

"Mr. Tesla." Lincheng couldn't help reminding.

"Don't worry, I've cleaned the corrosive liquid from the skin," Tesla said.

He placed the skin by the table, pressed it with a heavy object, then took out a pistol from his body, and fired a shot at the skin at a position of about three meters.

I saw that after the bullet hit the skin, the skin turned out to be like a liquid, producing a strange ripple that spread around, the bullet gradually deformed, and then fell to the ground.

There was silence in the laboratory, and what had just happened seemed to be echoing in his mind.

Lincheng frowned, recalling in his mind the scene when they shot that Apophis with a machine gun, instead of killing it, it enraged it.

"After receiving strong kinetic energy, the skin as hard as steel will liquefy in an instant, and then disperse and absorb the kinetic energy. However, there will still be some kinetic energy transmitted, so there will be pain." Tesla said.

"This is the last feature I have discovered so far, I think, if Da Vinci's precise manipulation of the bed crossbow did not just shoot into its mouth, but its body.

At this moment, the monster should have started killing inside the bastion. "

"Is there no way to deal with it other than shooting its mouth when it opens its giant mouth or shooting its black pupils hidden by bloodshot hair?" Lincheng said.

"There is still a way." Tesla said, "There is an upper limit to the kinetic energy that this kind of skin can absorb. If there is a large amount of fire coverage, reaching the upper limit of kinetic energy absorption of this skin, it can be injected into its body. destroy its organs.

At the same time, according to my calculations, if the instantaneous kinetic energy impact is strong enough, it can also penetrate, such as a sniper rifle with high kinetic energy, such as tank fire and rocket launchers. "

"I can already imagine the scene of these monsters hitting the torrent of steel in groups." Fermi said.

"I heard that there are different types of these monsters, and this is just one of them." Tesla said, "Some of them can fly."

"I originally thought that if alien civilizations did reach the earth one day, they should be highly developed technological civilizations. Unexpectedly, they would turn out to be a group of powerful organisms." Nobel said.

"Biology is also a direction of evolution, but it is far more difficult than technology." Planck said.

"However, there is still good news for us." Tesla said, "This kind of skin is similar to bones, and it will not decay due to the death of living organisms. This is a fairly top-notch new material."

"Nuwa said that Apophis has many things that can be used." Lincheng said.

"Such a thin and light thing can resist pistols. It is simply a top-level body armor material." Noble said with emotion, "It can also absorb kinetic energy and resist fire. It can be used as armor for tank shells."

"There is also a special material." Tesla said, he looked at the skin quietly, "I will show you something."

As he said, he picked up a rusted gun from a corner of the laboratory. It was more like a cannon than a gun. It was so long and big that Tesla needed a lot of strength in his hands to hold it up.

"This is a weapon left over from the base. There are three in total. I thought it was just an ordinary large-scale sniper rifle, but after analyzing the gun, I found that there are some energy storage elements inside.

This should be a fairly advanced kinetic energy weapon. "

"What weapon?" Lincheng asked curiously.

"Railgun," Tesla said.

The principle of the electromagnetic gun is very simple, that is, to use the ampere force generated by the electromagnetic field in the electromagnetic system to accelerate the metal shell, so that it can reach the kinetic energy required to hit the target.

Compared with traditional gunpowder-propelled cannons, electromagnetic guns can greatly increase the speed and range of projectiles, and can accelerate projectiles to the speed of sound very easily.

However, many people understand the electromagnetic gun as an energy weapon, which emits some kind of plasma energy.

But in fact, it is a kinetic energy weapon, which uses electromagnetic energy to accelerate metal projectiles.

At the beginning of the 20th century, someone proposed the idea of ​​using Lorentz force (electromagnetic force) to launch cannonballs.

Electromagnetic guns were worked on in France, Germany and Japan during both world wars.After World War II, other countries have also conducted research in this area.

So for electromagnetic guns, apart from Da Vinci from the Renaissance, these scientists are no strangers.

"Can it be reduced to such a degree?" Einstein looked at the electromagnetic cannon in Tesla's hand and murmured softly, "What's the principle?"

"Electromagnetic guns are weapons that involve many industries. Many people think that the difficulty of electromagnetic guns lies in energy, but in fact, if energy consumption is not counted, the energy required for electromagnetic guns is actually not much. It is not enough to provide energy with 69-year-old battery technology. difficulty.

The real problem lies in the instantaneous power. If it is used as a metaphor, it is equivalent to using a battery to instantly drive [-] full-power induction cookers within one millisecond, and then turn off the flames instantly, and it needs to explode at least ten times.

To meet this point, electromagnetic energy storage technology is the most suitable. It is the fastest charging and discharging technology, which is the so-called super capacitor, which is charged first and then discharged.But the requirements for capacitance are also very high. "

"It's more than high." Planck said, "If you want to apply it to war, in addition to the instantaneous power release, you have to adapt to the severe temperature difference in the desert, the high humidity in the jungle, the high corrosion in the ocean, and the intense ultraviolet rays on the plateau. All kinds of messy environments.

It has to be reliable, waterproof, dustproof, shockproof and shockproof, and the power loss must be small, at least for several days. "

"This electromagnetic gun uses electromagnetic energy storage technology inside, and it uses supercapacitors made of carbon nanotechnology.

However, no matter how long the life of the supercapacitor is, it cannot last for nearly 1000 years. This is where the electromagnetic gun is mainly damaged.

According to common sense, a rather huge electromagnetic industry is required behind the reconstruction.

But for us, ether particles can control the synthesis, and the detailed information of this technology just happens to exist in Dr. Lin Nuo's brain.

With our current technology, it shouldn't be difficult to replicate with ether particles.

However, not just capacitors, this gun also uses superconducting energy storage. "

"Is it a superconducting material? It's not surprising. The ultra-high temperature of thermonuclear fusion requires magnetic confinement. The strong magnetic field generated by the superconductor can be used as a "magnetic enclosure" to surround and confine the ultra-high temperature plasma in the thermonuclear reactor. Then Release slowly.

Since thermonuclear fusion already exists in this era, it means that superconducting technology has made great progress. ’ said Einstein.

The so-called superconductor refers to a conductor with zero resistance at a certain temperature, and it also has complete diamagnetism.

The current power transmission is lossy, so the transmission distance is limited, but if superconductors appear, it means that electricity can be easily transmitted to any corner of the world without any loss.

Magnetic levitation trains can also be installed in reality, mobile phones don’t even need batteries anymore, just relying on superconducting coils for energy storage is enough, not only can it be fully charged in an instant, but also last for a long time.

But the problem is that general superconducting materials can only maintain superconductivity at ultra-low temperatures, which requires the use of liquid nitrogen, which is very expensive.

But obviously, the material used in the gun in front of him is a room temperature superconducting material.

"Is this a railgun or a coilgun?" Fermi asked.

"Railgun," Tesla said.

There are two types of electromagnetic guns, one is a coil gun and the other is a rail gun.

Coil guns and rail guns each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of coil guns are that there is no friction between the shell and the barrel (coil), it can fire heavier shells, and the efficiency of converting electrical energy into kinetic energy is high, but the power supply is more complicated. difficulty.

As for the rail gun, because it needs to pass a strong current and slide in contact with the guide rail with the bullet holder, ablation will affect the life of the guide rail, but the initial speed will be faster.

In fact, there is another kind called reconnection gun, but it is actually a special induction coil gun.

It combines the advantages of coil guns that can launch large-mass projectiles and rail guns that can launch ultra-high-speed projectiles. It can also give projectiles a higher peak acceleration force, which is considered an advanced electromagnetic gun.

Einstein said, "The acceleration force increases with the increase of the current, but due to Joule's heat and the strong magnetic pressure on the guide rail, the guide rail current cannot increase infinitely, especially when the armature moves fast, and the strong current has no time When diffused inside the rail, the effects of Joule heating are severe and can cause severe rail ablation.

In the competition between rail guns and chemical artillery, rail ablation is the most serious problem. How does this gun solve it? "

"Superconducting levitating armature," Tesla said, "can accelerate projectiles to super high speeds with very little Joule heating.

Its armature is made of superconducting material, which is a loop topology, which introduces the current into the environment of the superconducting armature, keeps it permanently, and makes it subject to the gun bore and magnetic field.

The gun body of this gun is also composed of two parallel guide rails, driven by constant current, but the interaction force between the superconducting current in the armature and the constant current of the guide rails can cause the armature to levitate, making the distance between the armature and the guide rails almost No contact.

This means no arcing and ablation.

The armature is still pushed by the Lorentz force between the guide rails. The special geometric structure of the armature makes the superconducting current leave the guide rails at the tail of the armature and tilt up high, which makes a net Lorentz force push the armature forward. "

"It takes into account some of the characteristics of the coil gun." Plank nodded.

"And this superconducting material comes from the molecular reconstruction of the skin of Apophis."

Tesla looked at the electromagnetic gun, "I have already figured out the general principle, as long as I can figure out some details of the other components, repair or even mass-produce it, or create a larger and larger electromagnetic gun based on the principle of this gun." Cannon, it shouldn't be difficult."

"What about the bullet? What kind of bullet?" Nobel said.

"Because it is the armature that accelerates, the projectile does not need to be electrified. It is fine to use a solid metal projectile. You can consider using tungsten alloy or depleted uranium alloy, which can maximize the damage."

"The railgun looks like a one-man weapon," said Einstein, "the force is reciprocal.

The essence of Ampere's force is the interaction of electromagnetic fields, so when the armature is pushed by the electromagnetic field, the magnetic field of the armature is also pushing the coil and the power supply.

How to solve the recoil of this electromagnetic gun?
The recoil of a high-speed shell above Mach [-] should shatter a person's shoulders. "

"This electromagnetic gun does have a certain amount of recoil." Tesla said, "But it is different from the instantaneous thrust of the explosion of gunpowder bullets, and its explosive force cannot be controlled. The electromagnetic drive is programmable and controllable.

However, given the weight of this electromagnetic gun, it should be used with the exoskeleton of individual soldiers or for the use of modified humans. "

He looked at Einstein and Fermi, "If you can achieve cold nuclear fusion, and shrink it to the size of the movie, no, it can be ten times larger, and use cold nuclear fusion to provide energy, I can even do it here. On this basis, an electromagnetic cannon was transformed.

Hypersonic machine guns.

Moreover, electromagnetic energy storage also provides the possibility for energy cannons.

Apophis' defense is not worth mentioning in front of these technological weapons! "

"Cold nuclear fusion?" Fermi was a little puzzled.

"Looks like Lincheng hasn't told you yet, this is the fundamental reason why we are looking for you, the father of atomic energy. In this era, controllable thermonuclear fusion has been realized, and the technology is quite mature.

And what we are about to study is the fusion reaction at low temperature. ’ said Einstein.

"Are you telling a story?" Fermi half-jokingly said, in his world view, the emergence of controllable nuclear fusion and electromagnetic guns is already very sci-fi, let alone cold nuclear fusion.

"Before you came, we already had preliminary research results and a whole set of data support." Einstein said calmly, "Would you like to take a look?"

The smile on Fermi's face gradually faded, and he looked at the real god of physics in front of him with a little distraction.

He didn't think Einstein would cheat him in this kind of place.

So... is it possible for cold nuclear fusion to come true...

Fermi's mood was turbulent and could not be calmed down for a long time...

At this moment, he was suddenly very happy.

I am glad that I chose to follow Lincheng to this era
This is the age closest to the truth.
