Chapter 474 Researching New Weapons
Upon hearing Marina's words, Li Chenglong keenly sensed something and immediately asked, "Are you suspecting that these void creatures are not acting entirely on their own, but rather that something is directing them and transmitting the energy they need?"
Marina nodded: "Yes, that's what I meant. Actually, I had this idea after watching a movie on your Earth. In it, the Zerg were commanded by the Zerg Queen. So during the battle, I deliberately used my Void Domain to experiment, and that's how I made some discoveries."
Lena, somewhat surprised, said, "This is a very important discovery. Since they can set up a black curtain like a giant sphere to shield us, we can also set up a barrier to fight them. However, we don't yet know how they transmit information and energy, but my team and I will work hard to study it."
After discussing this matter, Marina continued, "Lord Li, there's another problem. As Lena mentioned earlier, Dawn City currently only has four types of weapons that are somewhat effective against those void creatures, but in my opinion, the damage is far from enough. So, Lena, Cecily, and I, along with some others, conducted some research and drew up some weapon manufacturing sketches, but Dawn City's current technology is insufficient to manufacture them. Do you think we could try using the space factory?"
Hearing that there were blueprints for a new weapon, Li Chenglong said excitedly, "Great, I'll try it out in my space factory when I get back." He took many blueprints and documents from Marina, glanced at them briefly, and then put them into his psionic space. Seeing that he had accepted them, Marina left with Keltilan and the others.
Li Chenglong and Yunlan returned home at 11 p.m. They had been busy all day. They had just returned from space in the morning, then fought a great battle with the void creatures, followed by two meetings and a discussion. Only now did they have a little time to rest.
Yunlan was breastfeeding her daughter in the bedroom. Li Chenglong chatted briefly with Song Yixin and Su Qian before going to the study. He took out the blueprints, intending to use the space factory to study whether it was possible to manufacture them. If it could be manufactured, it would be a great help in future battles.
Specifically, Marina just gave him only four weapon blueprints; many other documents are explanations of these four blueprints. Previous research has shown that ballistic weapons have negligible effect on void creatures, therefore all four weapons are beam weapons.
The first weapon is an enhanced version of the Dawn City's most advanced standard-issue rifle, the Super Power Rifle. Li Chenglong named it the Type 27 Super Power Rifle. It inherits the advantages of the previous Super Power Rifle, but has a longer range, greater power, better stability, lower failure rate, and consumes less energy from crystals and the user.
Furthermore, this is not just one type of firearm, but a family of firearms, including the Type 27 Superpower Rifle, the Type 27 Superpower Squad Machine Gun, the Type 27 Superconducting Sniper Rifle, and the Type 27 Large Superpower Rifle for Mechs.
The second weapon is the Ion Battle Blade, specially crafted for level 10 and above ability users. The blade is 1.1 meters long, with a 93-centimeter blade and a 7-centimeter width. This blade allows the user to maximize their energy and achieve the highest energy conversion efficiency.
Furthermore, the Ion Blade is best used at level 11 and above, compensating for the previous weakness where advanced ability users couldn't fully utilize their strength when using melee weapons like crystal swords and crystal lightsabers. In addition, this blade is sturdy, durable, and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for dealing with void creatures.
Li Chenglong decided that he would not only produce ion swords for soldiers, but also large ion swords for the S1 and S2 mechs. Otherwise, all the hard work he had put into producing so many mechs would be wasted.
The third piece of equipment is a new combat suit. Many Dawn Army warriors, especially advanced ability users, had already worn combat suits made of advanced alien silk, which played a significant role in the face of attacks from zombies and aliens.
However, this type of combat suit is far from sufficient when facing void creatures. Even the combat suits used by Marina and the other mechanical lifeforms are easily damaged in battles against void creatures. Therefore, after conducting joint research, they merged the technologies of the two combat suits, resulting in the current state-of-the-art combat suit.
This combat suit boasts extremely high corrosion resistance, effectively blocking acid sprayed by void creatures and offering some protection against beam attacks from them. It's also highly comfortable to wear, can be extended using supernatural abilities, provides warmth in winter and coolness in summer, and is easy to clean.
More importantly, this kind of clothing can be produced in the second industrial zone of Dawn City, but the production speed is relatively slow, with a maximum of only 50 pieces per day. However, if it is in Li Chenglong's space factory, the production speed will be much faster, with 1000 pieces per day being easily achievable.
After thinking for a moment, Li Chenglong decided to name this combat uniform the Type 25 Combat Uniform, since it was launched on the 25th of last month.
The fourth weapon is the spatial particle bomb. It is well known that spatial attack capabilities or dimensional force are the most effective against void creatures. However, the reality is that while many people possess storage spaces, very few possess spatial attack capabilities. Even someone like Yun Lan, who possesses a psionic space, does not have the ability to launch spatial attacks.
Currently, among the many superpowered individuals and ability users in Dawn City, there are fewer than 20 people with spatial attack capabilities, which is far from enough to fight against the extremely large number of void creatures.
Therefore, the space neutrino bomb came into being. This bomb is filled with a large number of high-grade crystals, and the gaps between the crystals are filled with space neutrinos. Once detonated, the force of the crystal explosion will disperse all these space neutrinos to strike the void creatures.
At the same time, the enormous energy from the crystal explosion will saturate the void creatures that are absorbing energy, causing their bodies to disintegrate due to the excessive energy, thus achieving a dual effect.
Li Chenglong inspected the four types of weapons and equipment and was quite satisfied with them. He input these details into the main computer of the space factory, and then the robots, under the control of the main computer, began assembling the production line using different equipment. Li Chenglong also took out a large amount of materials from the storage area and piled them up in the space factory's designated material storage area.
He picked up these materials from the Logistics Department and Industrial Zone 2 that night, and some were also given to him by Marina and Lena. The quantity was quite large, so there was no need to worry about materials in the short term.
Furthermore, if there is a shortage of necessary materials, all the crystal lightsabers, super rifles, crystal battle knives, etc. produced previously can be collected and distributed to them after the new weapons are completed.
Now that all the work was done, Li Chenglong checked the time; it was already 2 a.m. He was lying on his bed in the study, about to go to sleep, when he heard a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, he was surprised to see Yun Lan, who was holding a large cup of water made with her supernatural royal jelly. Li Chenglong took the cup and asked with a smile, "Why aren't you asleep yet? I just finished my work and was about to go to bed."
Yunlan massaged Li Chenglong's shoulders: "I got up to go to the bathroom just now and found you weren't there. I figured you must still be staying up late, so I made you a glass of water and brought it over. How's it going? Did you get everything done?"
Li Chenglong nodded: "Yes, things are almost done. We should have the finished product by tomorrow morning. By the way, I did the math, and tomorrow is our daughter's one-month celebration, isn't it?"
Yunlan smiled and said, "Our daughter Li Yunxi was born on July 6th in the Gregorian calendar, which is the third day of the sixth lunar month. Today marks a month since then. Actually, we celebrated the full moon a couple of days ago with just a few relatives and friends. The situation was so critical at the time, and I didn't want to cause any trouble for everyone."
Li Chenglong had Yunlan sit on his lap, took out the pendant he had prepared and put it on Yunlan's head, and then said, "It's alright. After we drive away the void creatures, I will not only hold a belated full moon celebration for my daughter, but also a belated birthday celebration for my son and our wedding ceremony."
Yunlan looked at Li Chenglong, whose face was full of determination, and nodded with slightly red eyes: "Yes, then let's work hard."
