Chapter 26 Weapon Making
The weapon in Zhou Yi's imagination had better be sharp enough, heavy and easy to carry.
For now, the sharpness of the Edman alloy gun head is enough, but in terms of weight, even if the gun barrel is made of Edman alloy, it is difficult to meet Zhou Yi's needs.
In terms of his strength, the best weapons, especially weapons like long spears, should weigh around 200,000 to 300,000 pounds. If converted into ancient units of measurement, there are more than a dozen or two. One hundred thousand pounds.
With such a weight, not to mention anything else, as long as Zhou Yi accelerates and smashes it anywhere, it is basically on the same level as a bomber. But unfortunately, with the materials known so far, it is a pipe dream to achieve this weight.
Think about the magical monkey in the myth, the guy in his hand that wants to be killed is only 13,500 jin. But that kind of magic weapon was already used by Dayu to measure the flood and pacify the world's precious iron in the East China Sea. There are few myths that can be compared.
One can imagine how impossible it is to achieve the weight in Zhou Yi's mind.
On the contrary, this requirement of portability last week is not a problem.
Alpha Nano Metal VI. That is to say, the previous version of the material used in the current Dawn armor can basically meet the needs of Zhou Yi.
Compared with the Alpha Nano Metal Seven, he is basically the same as the Alpha Seven, except for the fact that it is heavy and cannot cancel the magnetic interference. There is not much difference in energy conductivity, self-compression ability, high temperature and pressure resistance, metal memory repair and secondary deformation functions. In fact, it is clear, that is, the quality is a bit dreadful. The weight per cubic centimeter reaches 144 grams, which is about six times heavier than metal osmium. If you want to make a gun barrel that is two feet tall, it means that the weight is close to one ton.
Even so, such a weight is unacceptable to most normal people, and no manufacturer can stand the reason why their own battleship aircraft cannot run and fly because it is too heavy.
This greatly frustrated Zhou Yi, who aimed to develop aerospace metal materials, and simply regarded this technology as his own toy. The weight of more than a ton was not easy for Zhou Yi, but it was barely usable.
Although the weight has to be discounted a little because of the nano-compression, it is not much different. The manufacture of Alpha Nano Metal can completely rely on Medusa's own mechanical manufacturing. Zhou Yi only needs to express his needs, and then he can wait for Medusa to complete it.
And a qualified long gun not only has two parts, the gun head and the gun barrel, but also needs a gun, that is, something similar to a spear at the bottom of a general big gun. Strictly speaking, what Zhou Yi made was no longer a spear, but more like a spear.
The spear appeared about in the Song Dynasty, and it was at its peak in the Ming Dynasty. This is a product of the times.
After the Song and Ming Dynasties, the Han people in the Saibei Hetao and other places repeatedly lost to the Hu people, so that the Han people were inferior to the Han and Tang Dynasties in terms of horses and food. In the Han and Tang dynasties, large spears and spears were used, with two feet and two long lances. The point is that the spearhead is like a sword, it can break heavy armor, the weight is heavy, and the length is about zhangxu. Only in this way can we have the courage to fight on horses.
Because the weight is enough, a stick can only be rubbed and it will hurt, and if it is knocked, it will die. And the length is enough, in order to stab people across the distance right away. At that time, the big spears and spears were all invaluable military weapons, not only because of their complicated workmanship, but also because they were rare enough.
Because people who can use this kind of thing are basically peerless warriors like Luo Shixin and Yu Wencheng in Romance who have polished their bodies since childhood. Ordinary people don't say whether they can buy it or not, even if they can buy it or not, it's the same thing.
In the Song and Ming Dynasties, the Han people became weak.
Compared with the spear lance, the spear is short and light, the ridge of the spear head is high and the blade is thin, and the barrel of the spear is thick at the bottom and thin at the top, and it is full of toughness. It is more suitable for foot combat, and the most important point is that the cost is much cheaper than that of spears.
So gradually, the weapon of the spear replaced the position of the spear.
For Zhou Yi, the difference between a gun and a lance is not really big, but he appreciates the lance more than it is practical. Lance is a true nobleman among polearms, and although demanding, he is exactly what he wants. Workmanship is not a problem, he has the most advanced machinery and metal raw materials in the world. Not to mention the power, with his strength and skills, using a long lance is really not a problem.
As for the length, the long lance is the god of war on horses, so there are not a few people with a length of 8 feet, but Zhou Yi doesn't need to ride a horse, he can fly by himself, so what do you need a horse for. But in the end, what Zhou Yi made was still a spear, at most a long spear imitating the lance. Because the skill of making lances has almost been lost, he can only imitate them with guns based on ancient books. Whether it counts or not, he doesn't know.
However, there is no point in arguing about this. At most, the naming rights are different.
In his hands, such a thing is already a peerless murder weapon. The fierce and domineering spearhead looks like a simple and sharp dagger. Zhang Er's gun body (the length of the Han ruler is used here, which is also more than two meters), the thickness of the goose egg, and the whole body is finely carved like scales, and it flickers under the light.
The gun at the bottom is in the shape of a triangular pyramid, about a foot long, and has a blood tank inside. It is also a weapon for killing number one. From a distance, the whole big gun is majestic and domineering, fierce and inexplicable. Unlike ordinary weapons, it is similar to the magical weapons in myths and legends. Of course, this kind of thing is still some distance away from the magic weapon. With the success in front of him, Zhou Yi immediately stretched out his hand to mention it. It was a little light, but it was durable enough.
At the moment, the waist was twisted, and in the whistling sound of the hula wind, the huge gun head was already pouncing like a cloud dragon. Afterwards, the gun body was like a dragon, the gun head was like thunder and lightning, and the shadows were all entangled. If you want to block such an attack, there is really no way to start. Comes fast, receives fast. In an instant, the clouds gathered and the rain dispersed, and the scenery was full of moon. Zhou Yi only held a long spear firmly in his hand, and he couldn't see the traces of the unreal marksmanship just now.
This is already a combination of strength and skill, an extremely profound skill. Looking at the big gun in his hand, Zhou Yi had a feeling that he couldn't put it down. With this kind of weapon in hand, he will be a little more confident about some difficult guys in the future, and his combat power will be more than a point. Ginyu, who was in the shadow of the big spear, twisted slightly, and the spear body in the middle immediately surged like mercury, shortening sharply. In an instant, only the palm of the hand was left, so that the big spear turned into a double-edged dagger again, and it was a different usage.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but think about it, maybe he could develop a means of long-range attack, but how to do it, still need to think about it.
"Medusa, I need to make a long-range strike weapon based on this weapon. Do you have any suggestions?"
If you are indecisive, ask Baidu. When you come to Zhouyi, you will naturally ask Medusa, an AI with a higher level.
And Medusa would not disappoint him, and this time it surprised him even more. Originally, he thought that Medusa would at most suggest to him to make a longbow, and then precisely make what type, how many arcs and so on. But he didn't expect that Medusa directly crossed the limitation of cold weapons and gave him a big surprise.
"Sir, do you know anything about the latest situation of the electromagnetic railgun?"
"I only know that General Atomics seems to have just completed the test firing of the prototype gun." Zhou Yi scratched his face. As a habitualist, he really didn't pay much attention to these things. Snacks are only put on when needed.
"So far, the electromagnetic railgun within the U.S. military has basically taken shape. It is equipped by the main battleship and powered by nuclear power. The test firing of 20-pound ammunition can reach five times the speed of sound, and the maximum range is about 300 kilometers. You The Mercury Scientific Research under its banner has made a major breakthrough in the electromagnetic orbit launcher, which can realize the electromagnetic acceleration of larger and heavier objects, but it is limited by the strength of the pulse energy. Theoretically, if there is enough energy, Mercury Scientific's electromagnetic orbital launcher can carry your weapons."
"How much energy do you need?" Zhou Yi asked rationally. He was tricked by Medusa more than once. Medusa, who has no human thinking mode, often puts forward some suggestions that seem feasible but are actually very problematic.
Of course, it's perfect when these problems are solved.
"It requires the full output of the two nuclear reactors carried on the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier."
"I should have known it long ago."
The full energy of a 10,000-ton aircraft carrier is definitely a crazy idea for normal people. The full energy to maintain the operation of a giant aircraft carrier is just for one shot, which is ridiculous. But for Zhou Yi, energy is not a problem at all. Just like the Ark reactor that Tony has been researching, Zhou Yi itself can be said to be a super-large reactor, and it is also the kind of nuclear fusion, providing energy is not a problem for him at all.
This is like the sun turning on its lights for billions of years for free. People have capital and don't care about this consumption at all, even if this consumption represents the light source and temperature problems of most planets in the solar system.
"Contact Mercury Research and give them the statistics I need. I want to see the samples as soon as possible. Tell them that the sooner this problem is solved, the less research funding for the next quarter will be a problem, otherwise let them wait for another owner. ."
For several scientific research institutions under his hands, Zhou Yi generally gives the greatest financial support and also gives the greatest mental oppression, although when acquiring these institutions, the guys who are full of brains have been eliminated, reducing as much as possible. Internal strife. But you can't deny that as long as it is a guy who is engaged in scientific research, basically there are some kind of stinky problems, and there are not a few people who can write ink for a few years for a theory.
Therefore, Zhou Yi would never give too much good looks to these guys, and that would just be a problem with himself. After all, he was a businessman, not a human development promoter who philanthropically sponsored the development of science. What he needs is something that can add value to himself, not piles of useless data. Medusa clearly conveyed the meaning of Zhou Yi.
After everything was completed, Zhou Yi opened the door of the laboratory with his new weapon and walked out. For him, there was one more guest to entertain.
