CHAPTER 85

A railgun—a projectile weapon that used conduction between ether particles to fire a round projectile between two rails.

It consumed large amounts of ether to do so and was a weapon that was extremely difficult to make in smaller sizes.

It was also capable of firing projectiles at an extraordinarily fast speed compared to normal artillery’s limit of two thousand meters per second.

The result granted the projectiles immense destructive power—the warhead’s weight multiplied by its velocity.

Impact may dampen its power slightly, but it was still a round traveling at five thousand meters per second—its weight would easily reach several tons.

Even a fortified platform would crumble like a sandcastle when pitted against that much force, to say nothing of a prefabricated advance platform.

“The Captain mentioned it in the report they gave us when they took came under her majesty order, I believe.”

“Indeed…though we failed to develop a countermeasure for it in time.”
