314 Battlefield Grim Reaper, Killing Machine
After the results of the 1,000-meter target were out, Li Chengqian smiled at Wang Dashan.
Although Wang Dashan did not express how he felt, it was obvious from his behavior.
After completing target practice, Wang Dashan didn’t put down the New Age Model 1 pistol. His palm gently rubbed the pistol as if he was caressing a beautiful woman.
Wang Dashan was stunned. He was very stunned by the power of the New Age Model 1 pistol.
“What do you think of this gun? Is it easy to use?” Li Chengqian asked with a smile.
“It is a terrifying killing machine, suitable for various battle scenarios.” Wang Dashan replied honestly. In the face of such a gun, he had to be honest, he had nothing bad to say about it.
Men liked guns, but soldiers liked guns even more!
Guns were the second life of soldiers. When they saw a good gun, it was inevitable that they would show their fondness.
“President Li, firearms are controlled items. Production requires special approval from the country. Private production of firearms is illegal.”
“I’ve never seen a gun of this model that President Li provided me with. I think President Li’s company designed and produced it itself?” Wang Dashan said solemnly and reminded him.
Li Chengqian smiled and didn’t say anything else.
After the test was completed, Wang Dashan urgently reported the situation to Lin Tian.
“Li Chengqian developed a new firearm. The firearm is small, 23 centimeters long, weighs 2.5kg, and has 300 rounds of ammunition in the magazine.”
“The firearm is extremely easy to use. There’s no recoil. It only takes a few minutes for ordinary people to master the use of this firearm.”
“The accuracy of the gun is terrifyingly high. It can easily kill a target of 0 to 1,000 meters. It’s extremely powerful and can penetrate a steel plate at a distance of about 1,000 meters.”
“I suspect the firearm was designed, developed, and produced by the Divine Dragon Company.”
“I heard from Li Chengqian that this is an air-powered pistol!”
In Dragon City, after reading the report sent by Wang Dashan, Lin Tian called Wang Kui, the leader of the military, over.
In addition to Wang Kui, Lin Tian also called the weapons experts from the Institute of Weapons under the Academy of Sciences.
“Leader Wang, take a look at this piece of information.” Leader Tian handed the news from Wang Dashan to Wang Kui, and didn’t say anything else.
The secretary distributed the information to the other weapon experts.
When Wang Kui saw the contents of the message, he was immediately stunned.
“Air-powered weapons? The Divine Dragon Company has already successfully developed air-powered weapons?”
“It can even pierce through steel plates from 1,000 meters away… Gosh, even the armor-piercing power of special anti-tank weapons isn’t that powerful! How is this a pistol? This is clearly a portable cannon!”
“It has a capacity for 300 bullets. Under normal circumstances, a single soldier can carry 30 cartridges and 9,000 bullets with him! Under extreme conditions, he can carry 50 cartridges and 15,000 bullets…”
“The bullets are metal balls, not gunpowder bullets. Production, transportation, and storage are very simple!”
“Hiss…” Wang Kui sucked in a breath of cold air, and his expression immediately became serious.
“Leader Tian, this pistol must not be exported! Only our country can use it!”
“Even this information must be kept absolutely confidential! It can’t be leaked to the outside world.”
“And, purchase a large number of such weapons to equip the troops! Eliminate all existing rifles, pistols, and sniper rifles!”
“How is this a pistol? This is simply a machine gun!”
“It’s no exaggeration to say that it can increase the strength of our army by 100 times.”
“As long as we confirm the reliability of the air-powered pistol and arm our troops with it, even our logistics troops can defeat the most elite troops in the world in a contact battle.” Wang Kui exclaimed, his voice filled with desire as he expressed his opinion.
Right on the heels of that, Academician Liu, the weapons expert, said in a trembling voice, “I can’t believe this is real!”
If it was a message from someone else, Academician Liu Ti would definitely not believe it. However, Wang Dashan had also said in the message that he had personally tested the power of the pistol.
Liu Ti had no choice but to believe it.
It was impossible for Wang Dashan to deceive Leader Tian!
“It’s already as powerful as a machine gun! At close range, it can shoot through a tank.”
“The power is secondary. The main thing is the technology used on this gun!”
“Unimaginable…” Li Ti exclaimed.
“For an air-powered pistol to reach this level, we must have room temperature superconducting materials, a miniaturized vacuum acceleration barrel, and an ultra-high-capacity battery! These three technologies are needed.”
“How did Li Chengqian do all this!” Academician Liu Ti’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
“He has already broken through these world-class technologies!”
“If we apply room temperature superconducting materials in other areas, such as satellites, airplanes, and ultra-fast trains… our technology will take a huge leap,” Academician Liu Ti said excitedly.
“Using these technologies on a pistol is like using an anti-aircraft gun to hit a mosquito! What a waste…” Thinking of the possible applications of the room temperature superconducting materials, Academician Liu Ti explained the possibilities to Leader Tian.
Firstly, it could be applied to superconducting electrical appliances. It could increase the speed of the computer by a hundred times and greatly reduce the electrical power usage to 1% of the original usage.
Secondly, it could be applied to quantum computers. Quantum computers based on superconducting microwave technology are the future development direction of quantum computers.
Thirdly, it could be used for superconducting power generation and transmission. It could increase the efficiency of solar power generation by five times, allowing solar power generation to be truly commercialized. It could ensure no power loss in the transmission process.
The most important thing was electromagnetic levitation. It could allow buildings to float in the air! It could allow cars to fly in the air! The flying skateboard would become a reality, from a sci-fi concept product to a household item.
Moreover, room temperature superconducting materials were the key materials for the construction of a fusion power station. After breakthroughs have been made in room temperature superconducting materials, the technology for fusion power plants will enter a new stage.
Leader Tian fell into deep thought after hearing Liu Ti’s excited words.
With the asphyxiation virus outbreak wreaking havoc across the globe, and possibility of global conflicts and local wars are extremely small.
Everyone’s energy was focused on the development of vaccines and the prevention of viruses.
If they couldn’t defend against the virus, they would perish for sure.
Even if the Divine Dragon Company had developed powerful weapons, they were not of much use at the moment.
Having studied Li Chengqian’s way of doing things, Lin Tian knew that he definitely didn’t do meaningless things.
There must be a deeper meaning behind the fact that Li Chengqian chose to share information about the air-powered pistol through Wang Dashan.
As for whether Li Chengqian would use this weapon to do anything illegal, Lin Tian had never considered this.
If Li Chengqian had such considerations, it was impossible for him to show the small planet’s magnetic plane, let alone let him know about the asphyxiation virus vaccine.
“You guys go back first. I still have something to discuss with Leader Wang.” Lin Tian thought for a while and asked the excited Liu Ti to go back and wait.
After Liu Ti left with a disappointed expression, Lin Tian and Wang Kui sat opposite each other.
Their expressions became even more solemn.
Lin Tian was the first to speak. “Leader Wang, what do you think Li Chengqian means?”
“Maybe he just wants us to buy a batch of air-powered pistols!” Even Wang Kui himself didn’t believe what he said.
Lin Tian shook his head. He also couldn’t understand Li Chengqian’s thoughts.
…
Three days later, Li Chengqian asked for Wang Dashan again and conducted an armed robot test in front of him.
The armed robots were equipped with improved air-powered pistols, and the range was increased to 3,000 meters because the barrel was embedded in the robot’s body. The power of the gun was greatly increased because the barrel had been lengthened.
It could still pierce through a steel plate 3,000 meters away.
Moreover, the robot was equipped with an advanced targeting system. For targets within a 3,000-meter range, the hit-rate was 100%. The total score reached 9.3 points.
At a high speed of 70 kilometers per hour, robots can also reach the 9-ring mark.
It was equivalent to bullseye after bullseye. Furthermore, it was on targets mounted on a speeding vehicle.
Even a human sharpshooter would cry when he saw this.
The robot had 200,000 rounds of ammunition. At full power, it could last for 10 days on the battlefield.
Moreover, in this test, the robot’s target identification rate reached 100%. There were no misfirings.
There was a life detector installed on the robot. No living creature could escape its detection.
If such armed robots were brought to the battlefield for actual combat,
It would be the most terrifying grim reaper, the reaper of human lives on the battlefield.
The special deck installed on the surface could withstand the strafing of rocket launchers, anti-materiel sniper rifles, and even machine guns.
Ordinary bullets were useless against the robots.
Such a machine could directly destroy a small country! If it was used on a densely populated city, it could kill hundreds of thousands of people in a day!
Based on the armor and movement speed of the armed robot, it was very difficult for any weapon to damage it.
Its movement speed could reach 160 kilometers per hour at full power. Normally, it could maintain a movement speed of 90 kilometers per hour. Even if a missile wanted to hit it, it would be extremely difficult.
This was an invincible grim reaper!
A war machine born for killing.
After watching the test performance of the armed robots, Wang Dashan’s face turned pale. He had nothing but fear in his heart.
The way he looked at Li Chengqian was as if he was looking at a demon.
Soldiers were not afraid of sacrifice, but when faced with such a machine, even the strongest soldier could only despair and wait for death.
“What is Li Chengqian trying to do?”
“Why is he showing me such terrifying arms again!”
