Chapter 64 Final Preparations

When the high-energy proton beam hits the target, if it hits the target atomic nucleus level, it will produce a series of nuclear reactions, releasing a large amount of energy. Even if it does not hit the nucleus, it will still melt the target and produce a huge explosion, and a secondary magnetic field effect will occur after the hit to destroy the target.

Such power is certainly not comparable to a real large nuclear bomb, which explodes in at least 100,000 tons or millions of tons of tnt. But this kind of Gauss rifle and other conventional weapons than, there is no way to big.

For example, the charge of a Type 67 wooden-handled grenade is just 38 grams of tnt, exaggerate a little to count as 50 grams.

Such a shot is equivalent to the power of 400 grenades exploding at the same time! So its shooting safety distance should be at least two hundred meters or more, otherwise it may instead blow itself up!

"It's good for long-range sniping."

Oliver stroked the barrel, such a weapon must be careful, not to shoot at close range, this must be remembered.

The best thing is that the speed of its bullets is extremely fast, almost close to the speed of light, when aiming there is no need to calculate the advance or ballistic trajectory, as long as a shot, immediately explode at the established target, impossible to be intercepted!

The gun, Oliver heart is still very cool, he is after all a former soldier, very like this high-performance weapons. The special forces have the same emotions as him.

Another well, should go to the sniper Solomon, his shooting accuracy is the best.

Unfortunately, there is no third ... he has imagined to James, Wade that kind of sour expression of sorrow ...

Oliver came out of Yuriko's place with two modified Gauss rifles in his hands.

Although one is thirty kilograms, a bit unpleasant, but as soon as you get off the ship, the gravity immediately shrinks by two-thirds, such a weight will be no problem.

This kind of Gauss rifle that ejects high-speed protons actually has some limitations, it is not very suitable for fighting in an environment with atmosphere, just like the laser. Because the atmosphere molecules will absorb a lot of energy of the bullet, there is a certain blocking effect.

The good thing is that the Martian atmosphere is relatively thin, can barely use some.

Oliver took a hard breath, their ten-person exploration team, this time will face a huge challenge. Because the difference in the level of the two civilizations is a bit more ...

Scientists have conducted weapons experiments on alien materials, conventional rifle bullets hitting it, leaving only a shallow dent, which also means that conventional human weapons will most likely not be able to cause damage to the facilities inside.

However, nuclear bombs can still destroy them ... This is also a slight relief to Oliver's heart, at least nuclear weapons of mass destruction still work.

They went to explore the flying saucer can not use nuclear bombs, can only use the twenty-first century conventional weapons ... If there is a real battle, as if the Polish cavalry during World War II with a large knife to cut the tank is generally, is bound to be no suspense defeat.

Oliver they had intended to carry howitzers, rocket launchers and other heavy weapons, no matter what, first to raise the power. But now with these two alien weapons, heavy weapons can bring less, flat out a lot easier.

He stroked the Gauss rifle, really wanted to shoot to test the power, but held back, this ammunition is not replenishable, fired a shot less, not to waste!

"We have done two shooting experiments, the initial speed of the proton at 0.9 times the speed of light, the acceleration time is about 0.0086 seconds. That is, after firing the gun, the delay time of the bullet launch is 0.0086 seconds."

"The mass of protons is very small, so the recoil of the gun is almost non-existent. If we are given a year or two, we should be able to figure out the whole gun structure thoroughly ... By then, we can make our own Gauss rifle."

"Please be careful ..."

The above is what Yuriko said when she handed the weapon to Oliver. oliver also heard a faint concern, and suddenly his heart was warm.

They naturally can't wait a year or two like Yuriko said, even if they did, the scientists are going crazy with anxiety.

Anyway, they are not going to fight, just to explore the risks, to see what is in the inner ring area, really can not also exit.

"... Yuriko, please!" Oliver carried a suitcase in each hand and couldn't spare a hand, so he could only shrug his shoulders and walk out of the lab.

Yuriko sat there dazed again, for a long time before she reacted, people have actually gone, she lowered her head again, engrossed in her work.

In fact, she was not as dull as she appeared to be. Instead, her mind was flexible and sometimes curious about what kind of person Oliver, the leader of the new human race, really was.

Yuriko once secretly used "mind reading" on Oliver, and ... she failed. She only saw a burning sun, bringing a very warm feeling.

"Maybe superhumans are really different ...," she thought darkly.

At this time, Oliver was in the training room, his brow furrowed, when he got some bad news: during the excavation of the flying saucer, scientists had found a small amount of energy fluctuations at the big broken hole.

This fluctuation was plausible, and the scientists couldn't figure out whether it was a mismeasurement or not; it could be that they were scaring themselves, or there could still be functioning machinery inside.

In any case, they have to prepare for the worst, the inner ring area may have a certain degree of danger.

At this point, it's impossible to get them to give up ...

"In two days is the day of departure, there is something please in these days quickly end up. What are the last words to write also quickly write, all understand!" Oliver shouted to the members of the expedition.

"Understood!"

The crowd replied loudly, each excited and with a hint of fear.

Of course they were afraid of death, but think of the leader of the Noah is in the team, still afraid of a hair!

Last words and such things are a military tradition that must be written before carrying out high-risk missions. But these nine members of the team have little family, so this step is a bit optional, just a few words of explanation with friends, goodbye is almost done.

"Now start to award the expedition equipment, everyone familiar with the new style of equipment in advance!"

This step is also the most exciting for everyone, which soldier does not like new equipment and weapons?

With Oliver's order, an equipment truck slowly drove over and delivered the members with spacesuits, pharmaceuticals, oxygen bottles, ropes, walkie-talkies, and a large number of weapons, etc.

Everyone's equipment is equipped differently, because each person's duties are different, some people are in charge of medical, some people are responsible for cutting, dismantling, and some people are responsible for fire guard.

Like James is holding a bazooka, thick and thick, with a strong anti-armor capabilities. But such a big guy, the power is still not as powerful as the alien civilization's Gauss rifle.

James looked at Solomon with a sullen expression. Well, the Gauss rifle in Oliver's hand he did not expect, this lean and mean Solomon, why, because he aimed accurately?

Although the two are members of the special team, is also several years of comrades, but James still upset.

This is an alien weapon that he has been looking forward to for years!

Now he can't even touch it, how can he be happy, he can only depressingly say: "My last words are as follows: If I die, I want to be buried with a Gauss rifle ..."

"Well, only you have a lot of things to do!"

Oliver laughed and scolded: "When we come back, I'll give you this gun to touch for a few days ... and then return it to the lab!"

"Really!" James's eyes suddenly lit up, he did not say anything this time, afraid that the others also have such last words, to share his privilege to go.

The crowd put on their spacesuits and began various kinds of training.

Their training room is located on the Noah, the equivalent of the low gravity zone of Mars, has been adapted to many days in advance. Now they have to wear the equipment to adapt to the last two days again.

Two days later, they will officially depart!
