Watching the experimenters put the metal cannonballs on the rails, Todd looked at the empty keel seat behind the magnetic railgun and asked strangely: "Who will be responsible for launching?"

Wayne replied, "I have sent someone to inform the driver of the railgun, and she will come as soon as possible."

Todd was a little surprised: "You mean, not everyone can operate this gun?"

"The controller who launches the electromagnetic gun must connect the body to the keel of the gun body. At the moment of launch, a strong electric current will pass through the nervous system, and most people have no way to withstand that kind of pain."

Todd was a little curious: "So, who can play this role?"

"Your Majesty, do you remember? The carrier of the Tesla parasite, the abandoned girl you rescued from the cave-Cosette, she is one of the few pilots who can activate this cannon member."

Todd recalled for a while, and quickly remembered the alien girl who was abandoned by her parents in the cave and waited to die quietly.

Wayne added: "I am now thinking of ways to expand the team of electromagnetic gun pilots. After testing and observation, the elven races in the Crusade Army may be able to operate if they receive a series of training and are equipped with appropriate equipment. Requirements for electromagnetic guns."

Todd nodded, turned to the office area of ​​the laboratory, found a chair and sat down.

The waiting time is not long.

Soon, Cosette, who was sleepy and still a little confused, was taken into the laboratory by the Crusades.

"Why is it so late..."

Cosette didn't finish her words, she caught a glimpse of Todd sitting in a chair smiling, and immediately swallowed the second half of the words.

With the note board in one hand, Wayne said to Cosette: "Your Majesty is coming to watch the launch of the alien railgun today. Now that the charging is over, you can start at any time, you are ready."

Cosette diligently moved his gaze away from Todd, nodded towards Wayne, and then entered the back room of the laboratory under the leadership of the Crusades.

Wayne walked to Todd's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is an observation deck above the laboratory, where you can also watch the launch process, and it's safer. Do you need...?"

Todd got up from the chair, shook his head and said, "No, I will keep it here."

It seemed that he had guessed such an answer long ago, and Wayne shrugged helplessly: "I will do your will."

A few minutes later, Cosette walked out. She was wearing a tights made of special leather and gelatin. There was a row of raised round holes for nerve connections. Then she walked to the front of the alien railgun. , Took a deep breath.

I saw her slowly sitting on the seat made of keel, her body leaning backwards, letting the sharp parasitic nerve hooks pierce the skin behind her.

With a look of pain, Cosette yelled in Wayne's direction, "I'm ready!"

Wayne once again confirmed the status of all the equipment to the staff around him, and finally nodded and said, "Let's get started."

Cosette stretched out his hands, grabbed the handle at the end of the rail of the gun body, and quietly closed his eyes.

The keel parasite limbs around the seat, like living tentacles, slowly stretch, extend, and close, and finally wrap Cosette in it, forming a closed cockpit connected to the magnetic railgun.

Then, two keel guide rails tens of meters long, accompanied by a slight hum, began to rise slowly and aimed at the wall at the end of the laboratory.

Wayne said to the experimenter at this time: "Open the gate!"

A heavy hinge sounded in the empty hall, and the wall at the end of the laboratory was controlled by a hidden mechanism, rising and opening little by little, and the outdoor scenery gradually appeared in front of everyone.

The laboratory built in the mountains, directly facing the sea after raising the gate, the sound of turbulent waves and violent wind swept from the outside world, and it sounded deafening.

Wayne ordered again: "Correct the target!"

Several Concentrating Alien Species wearing keel armors used the dense position ruler and the light edge table to lock the launch target as an island about 8 kilometers away from the laboratory. After repeated corrections, they reported back: "The target data has been sent back. To the cockpit!"

Under the gaze of everyone, the heterogeneous magnetic railgun driven by Cosette slowly moved the muzzle under the movement of the keel limbs, and finally locked the target.

Seeing that all preparations were over, Wayne issued the last command loudly: "Launch!"

The flashing blue light on the surface of the heterogeneous magnetic rail gun is getting brighter and faster, and the speed of the flow is getting faster and faster. In the end, the entire giant gun seems to have lost its original color, becoming an extremely dazzling that makes it impossible to look directly at the naked eye. Blue sun.

Electromagnetic thunderstorms filled the entire space, hitting everyone's eardrums like a violent storm, and completely suppressed the sound of external waves and wind.

In the entire huge laboratory, only the increasingly sharp and higher electromagnetic energy can be heard.

In just one ten-thousandth of a second, a flash of light comparable to the eruption of sunspots burst from the body of a different kind of magnetic track.

A beam of objects approaching the speed of light shot out from the muzzle and disappeared in an instant.

Almost at the same time, a dull and huge explosion, accompanied by a slight shake of the ground, shook the entire Western City.

Compared to the people who were affected by flashes and sounds, Todd was the first person to return to normal.

He walked to the gate at the end of the laboratory and looked at the isolated island that was used as a target in the distance.

The island that was nearly a thousand square meters in size... disappeared, replaced by a blazing Purgatory Land. It is like a huge crater that can only be produced after a meteorite impact, reminding the world of how huge an impact has occurred here.

Rubbing his sore and red eyes, Wayne walked to Todd's side and said excitedly: "As long as this weapon is carried on the battleship, no matter how strong the fortress is, no matter how tall the wall is, it will be destroyed if you encounter such an attack. It's a pile of powder!"

Todd sighed, with unstoppable joy on his face: "This is a great victory, a milestone work... Your results have even exceeded my original expectations..."

Wayne's pale face showed a sincere smile for the first time: "It is my honor to receive your compliment~lightnovelpub.net~."

"Continue to improve and perfect this weapon, in the next battle, I think it will come in handy."

Todd looked at the black smoke rising higher and higher on the distant sea, paused for a moment, and continued to ask: "The alien railgun is indeed a weapon for attacking fortresses and cities, but how will it perform in the face of moving targets such as battleships? ?"

After thinking about it, Wayne replied: “If it’s a large or medium-sized warship, the dissimilar railgun can completely solve an entire fleet with one shot, because facing these fragile targets, the shells fired are fundamentally There is no need to hit directly, as long as it can form a coverage area of ​​damage. However, if it is a small ship with flexible steering and speed, it may be difficult to cause fatal damage from an attack by a magnetic railgun."

Todd rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice, "In this case, if I were the commander of the enemy army, I would just abandon all the large warships, organize a large number of small warships, and use the gaps between the railguns to launch attacks in a dispersed formation. , Can enter the stage of fighting with alien destroyers. This is not a good thing for us..."

Wayne pondered for a while and nodded: "There are indeed such doubts, please rest assured, I will continue to improve the weapon performance of the warship."

"You have done very well." Todd patted Wayne on the shoulder: "In the Heavenly Library, there are some books and knowledge that I am not open to everyone, but I will leave you a passage there. , Only for you to read."

After saying this, Todd ignored Wayne's ecstatic expression, turned and walked into the laboratory staff, began to praise their efforts and performance, and promised to give everyone generous rewards.
