Infinite Bullets
"Electrical energy is relatively low-grade. With a high-energy battery like this, it would be drained before long. Used as an ordinary stun gun, this ten-thousand-milliamp battery should manage around ten shots. But if it were used for a high-energy plasma cannon, it would probably run dry after just two shots."
Ten thousand milliamps was honestly not much. Even common power banks generally held more than that. Yet such a tiny amount of energy could fire ten shots. In terms of cost, it was practically dirt cheap.
"If the entire military could replace its weapons with this, it should save the country a great deal of expenditure, right?"
Even when powered solely by a battery, this magic energy weapon was more powerful than ordinary firearms. What if its energy source were replaced with something more advanced?
For example, Arc Reactor Energy.
Arc Reactor Energy had originally been researched by Tony Stark’s father, Howard Stark. Due to the limitations of his era, he had been unable to perfect the technology and had instead left it to Tony, hoping that one day Tony could fully develop it.
Now, thanks to the Huaqiangbei System, Chen Mu had mastered this technology early on and handed it over to China.
The technology Howard had developed was now quietly being promoted bit by bit. Before long, all of China would likely be able to use this free, clean energy.
The emergence of this energy source was absolutely a massive earthquake for the modern world. For traditional energy companies in particular, its appearance would surely result in devastating losses.
Naturally, this would draw the hatred of those energy giants, who would certainly want to retaliate against China.
However, by the time this energy had been fully rolled out, China’s military strength would undoubtedly have undergone a transformation as well. By then, China would no longer fear any challenge.
"Try installing an Arc Reactor in this gun."
Chen Mu pulled out the battery, took a miniature reactor from nearby, and connected it to the firearm.
There were plenty of portable Arc Reactors in Chen Mu’s laboratory.
"Let’s try the normal firing mode again."
When powered by electricity, the energy bullets fired by this magic energy gun could at most paralyze or knock someone unconscious. But now that it had been switched to Arc Reactor Energy, a faint blue flash streaked out. It was as though the muzzle had fired a laser, effortlessly punching through the distant wall.
Even Chen Mu was somewhat startled by the sight.
After running through this energy circuit, Arc Reactor energy unleashed truly astonishing power. Its might was more than ten times greater than when powered by electricity.
This Arc Reactor Energy bullet was definitely more powerful than a bullet fired from an ordinary anti-materiel sniper rifle, and it had penetrating power as well.
Simply put, with an Arc Reactor installed, even this gun’s basic attack was equivalent to a round from a heavy sniper rifle.
"If I used the charged mode…"
Looking at the charge switch, Chen Mu fell silent.
Forget it. Better not try it in the laboratory. One shell might just collapse the rooms next door.
If he wanted to test it, he would have to do so outside.
"What happened?"
The experiment Chen Mu had just conducted had caused quite a commotion. Xu Jia quickly arrived at the laboratory and looked at Chen Mu with slight nervousness.
"Nothing. I made a little toy and tested it."
Seeing the so-called little toy in Chen Mu’s hand, Xu Jia could not help raising an eyebrow.
Although it looked strange, she immediately recognized the barrel and stock. This should be some kind of firearm.
"What is that?"
Xu Jia was rather curious about it.
"It’s a gun. I call it a magic energy weapon."
Chen Mu lifted the gun in his hand and explained it to Xu Jia.
"A magic energy weapon?"
What the hell was that? Xu Jia stared at the glaringly obvious Arc Reactor on the gun, her face full of question marks.
Wasn’t that an Arc Reactor? What did it have to do with magic energy?
"The energy of an Arc Reactor is extremely powerful. Even a small reactor possesses a very high energy level. Our military weapons experts previously used Arc Reactors to create portable electromagnetic rifles for individual soldiers. They use the powerful electrical energy of an Arc Reactor to generate an electromagnetic effect, propelling bullets at incredible speeds and creating unimaginable destructive force."
Xu Jia looked at Chen Mu and continued, "My Kirin Armor is equipped with that weapon. Its principle is that of a railgun. So what is this firearm of yours? Is it powerful? Can you install one in my Kirin Armor later?"
In fact, ever since Chen Mu had handed some technologies over to the God Spear Bureau, the bureau’s scientists had begun researching them and using certain elements to develop new technologies.
Electromagnetic Weapons had actually existed for a long time, but they had been unable to be made portable for individual soldiers due to energy limitations.
But after Chen Mu provided portable Arc Reactors, that problem was solved.
Electromagnetic Weapons had long since entered production in the military. Electromagnetic guns, railguns, and the like had already begun limited deployment among the troops.
Not to mention that electronic weapons produced using the same principles could also be modified and installed in Kirin Armor.
The armor produced by Chen Mu’s Huaqiangbei Industrial Park was really only a shell. As for weapons and the like, they were basically handed over to the military for modification and installation.
Therefore, besides the weapons Chen Mu provided, China’s scientists had also created quite a few powerful weapons and installed them in the armor.
"A Railgun?"
Chen Mu rubbed his nose, feeling somewhat shocked. To be honest, he had not paid much attention to the military’s weapons research, so he did not know just how far the weapons currently used by the military had advanced.
Now that he suddenly heard Xu Jia mention it, he found it hard to believe.
They had already achieved portable railguns for individual soldiers?
Using a reactor’s energy to propel bullets or shells, granting them greater kinetic energy and making them even more powerful.
"My magic energy weapon is very different from the electromagnetic weapon you mentioned. This thing directly uses energy, and because of its special manufacturing process, the energy it releases is much more powerful."
Chen Mu raised the magic energy gun again and quickly pulled the trigger three times at the wall. Three beams of pure energy shot out in sequence, effortlessly leaving three more sizable holes in the wall.
Watching Chen Mu use the gun so effortlessly, Xu Jia was immediately amazed.
This gun had no recoil? And it did not even need ammunition?
Based on what Chen Mu had said, it directly used pure energy. Did that mean that as long as it had enough energy, this thing effectively had unlimited bullets?
No recoil, unlimited bullets, and immense power—Xu Jia quickly saw the potential of this gun.
If this thing were placed in the hands of the military, it would absolutely be a devastating weapon!
