Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

"Plasma...cannon?"

Looking at the huge muzzle in the holographic projection, Cao Liangcai's eyes were a little straight.

"Professor, let me ask first, what is the size of this thing?" He swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.

"Size?" Lv Yongchang shrugged and reached out to operate the holographic projection again.

"...A muzzle with a diameter of 100 meters?!!" Cao Liangcai's face was distorted, and he exclaimed loudly, "Are you kidding me?!"

As soon as he said it, he realized the problem.

He smiled and apologized to Lv Yongchang: "Hey, professor, that's not what I meant."

As for Tao Yuda on the side, he also had a similar reaction, but he suppressed the urge to swear.

And Lv Yongchang, smiling at the reactions of the two.

To be honest, he was not surprised by such a reaction.

When he saw this extremely violent weapon in the technology tree system at that time, he had the same reaction.

"What kind of cannon is this!"

"It's just a small starship!"

Tao Yuda complained in a low voice: "Its size is almost catching up with Xuannv II, right?"

"More than that." Cao Liangcai looked at the size above and quickly calculated in his mind, "It's far more than Xuannv II."

Lv Yongchang raised his eyebrows: "Hey! How do you know that I designed a starship for this cannon?"

Tao Yuda: "???"

Cao Liangcai: "?!!"

What a shocking statement?

A starship was specially designed for a cannon?

Before the two of them could react, Lv Yongchang stretched out his hand and slid the holographic image in front of him.

In the holographic screen, a 3D simulation of a new warship appeared.

The starship is slender and cylindrical, with a length of 500 meters and a diameter of about 150 meters.

Compared with other starships, it is a miniature.

But compared with other weapons, it is a veritable big brother!

Tao Yuda and the others quickly focused their attention on the head of the starship.

The muzzle of the cannon, with a diameter of 100 meters, almost completely occupied the head space of the starship.

"I named it [Battering Ram]."

"As the name suggests." Lv Yongchang said excitedly, "Its main function is to violently crack the magnetic field shield or plasma shield of the enemy's secondary flagship and flagship."

"The cracking principle is very simple."

"With the help of extremely powerful instantaneous output power, the shield generation device of the enemy ship is quickly overloaded."

"Therefore, the entire starship has only one weapon, the plasma cannon."

"The rest of the parts, except for the starship shell, are probably only the large fusion reactor and the Hall thruster nozzle."

At this point, Lv Yongchang shook his head with some regret: "Unfortunately, according to Zero's simulation test, this starship is likely to have only one chance to launch an attack in actual combat, so it can only be controlled by Zero."

Tao Yuda looked at the starship with seriously unbalanced proportions in the picture, and his mouth twitched wildly.

Can this be called designing a starship?

It's better to change the description method.

We ingeniously installed an engine on the cannon so that it can fly freely in the universe.

This statement may be more appropriate!

Tao Yuda was madly complaining about what Lv Yongchang did in his heart.

"So."

"What is the working principle of this plasma cannon?" Tao Yuda took a deep breath and changed the topic to another direction, "Is it still a plasma bomb?"

"Of course not!" As if he felt questioned, Lv Yongchang's tone of voice was obviously raised by one degree.

"What a joke, I didn't build such a big thing to launch a few pitiful plasma bombs with low power!"

Looking at the puzzled eyes of Cao Liangcai and Tao Yuda, Lv Yongchang slowed down his tone and explained.

"Cannon."

"The ratio of the length of the barrel to the caliber is large. Overall, its barrel is thin and long."

As soon as this was said, Cao Liangcai and Tao Yuda's faces suddenly became strange.

The two of them cast their eyes on the holographic screen in front of them.

You call a barrel with a diameter of 100 meters thin?

Moreover, they didn't see how long the so-called gun barrel was? !

"Hey, professor, this gun barrel is different from what you said." Cao Liangcai said with embarrassment, "Did you... say it wrong?"

Cao Liangcai's questioning made Lu Yongchang's excitement increase again!

He waved his hand!

"Who said the gun barrel is not long?!"

The holographic screen switched instantly.

"The entire gun barrel is composed of a continuous magnetic field."

"The overall length can reach more than 100 kilometers!"

"What you see is just the base of the cannon."

Numb.

Cao Liangcai and Tao Yuda said that they were completely numb.

What kind of wild idea is this? !

Lu Yongchang obviously did not give the two people time to buffer and continued to introduce.

"Plasma cannon, as the name suggests, its ammunition is extremely powerful plasma, that is, high-temperature plasma flow."

"The barrel composed of a magnetic field can smoothly restrain these plasma flows, and even provide them with a constant stream of acceleration, making them faster."

As he spoke, the holographic projection image changed again.

A translucent barrel gradually extended outward from the turret.

In the blink of an eye, the so-called barrel reached a length of one hundred kilometers.

In comparison, the turret at the end of the barrel has become a sesame-sized black dot.

This time, it is indeed as Lv Yongchang said, the barrel length and caliber ratio is large.

Tao Yuda held his forehead with his hand, he felt that his worldview had been severely impacted.

He said with difficulty: "Professor, how are you going to make such a long magnetic field barrel?"

"Our magnetic field shield generation unit cannot be effective at such a long distance."

"Good question!"

Lv Yongchang shouted and slid the holographic image again.

"Remember our previous drone swarm?"

"With just a little modification, they can become mobile magnetic field shield generation units."

"Simply put, these drone swarms are our barrels."

Tao Yuda's pupils trembled slightly, and he swallowed hard.

"This, this is too crazy..."

Yes, crazy.

This is the only adjective in the minds of Tao Yuda and Cao Liangcai.

Lv Yongchang shrugged and said noncommittally: "Maybe this weapon is a little crazy."

"But its power can definitely meet our imagination."

"At present, its only disadvantage is its short range."

"Even if it relies on the magnetic field of the drone to form the barrel, its maximum range is only about 100 kilometers."

"Therefore, its scope of application is greatly limited."

"However, in a sense, it fits the name I gave it."

Cao Liangcai and Tao Yuda suddenly realized.

[Battery Ram]

As the name suggests, it should indeed be a close-range shield-breaking weapon.
