The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 378 Useless
Just in the dark gap exposed in that urban area, there is a giant electronic rail gun hidden, powered by a helium triple nuclear reactor, the base alone is as big as two standard football fields.

This place was originally a closed and isolated square space, and only senior employees, octopus wise servants, and a small number of low-level employees are qualified to have access to it. However, under the command of Academy City's emergency security regulations, it was finally exposed to in the air.

The ceiling dome, the floor, and the walls in the space are all covered with a layer of steel plates. There are searchlights placed on the walls every ten meters, and the bright beams reflected make the place as bright as day.

A steel platform similar to scaffolding surrounds the electromagnetic railgun, and under the platform is a self-driving transport vehicle. Before the electromagnetic railgun is completed, the Octopus Smart Servant will automatically unload the vehicle and assemble the transported parts into the railgun. superior.

Dr. Bain from Academy City stood on the scaffold beam platform that was flush with the electromagnetic railgun, inspecting this steel creation that symbolized one of the highest forces in Academy City with indifferent and calm eyes.

On the top of the giant pedestal, two parallel metal guide rails are in the shape of a cylinder, with a bright silver luster on the surface, pointing upwards to the sky like beams and columns, just like swans stretching their necks, ready to sing.

At the central end of the two guide rails, there is a huge cannonball. Countless mechanical octopuses stretch out their steel tentacles and fly around the outside of the cannonball for maintenance.

"Second-level preparations for the human cannon."

The voice of the central intellectual brain resounded through this spacious space, and the mechanical octopuses surrounding the electromagnetic railgun seemed to have received an order, quickly completed the maintenance work, and quickly flew away.

Standing on the beam, Dr. Bain has not personally engaged in criminal activities for a long time. His years of scientific research have made him less violent and more peaceful.

He glanced at the electromagnetic railgun, pressed a button on the console, and a three-dimensional projection was immediately projected from the console.

The projection shows what the interior of the electromagnetic railgun shell looks like.

Saya, this special creature cultivated by special cells, is shrinking in the flat space inside the metal shell in the posture of a little green-haired loli.

For safety reasons, a buffer layer is deliberately placed inside the shell, which can reduce the G-force load caused by acceleration, so Saya looks particularly petite and pitiful, as if lying in a sleeping bag.

Dr. Bain and his creation looked at each other. In the spacious space, all kinds of sirens and prompts sounded together, even though Academy City, with the help of Octopus Wisdom Servant, reduced the number of low-level staff as much as possible. But the operation site of this huge project is still noisy and noisy.

Dr. Bain stretched out carrot-thick fingers, pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said softly to Saya expressionlessly: "This is the first time you have shown yourself in front of the world, are you nervous?"

The girl in the cannonball tilted her head, and there was a gentle smile on her childish and innocent face, as if saying, "Don't worry about me."

"."

Dr. Bain didn't say anything, just nodded.

The cannon in the world has cast his hard work, and Saya is more like a "daughter" to him.

Although Bain knew that after going through the three cumbersome procedures of the electromagnetic railgun's main control system self-inspection, the mechanical octopus's second inspection, and the central intelligence brain's three-time inspection, the probability of the human cannon malfunctioning is very small, but the nervousness still captured him. He, let a trace of undetectable anxiety flash across his weather-beaten old face.

Those octopus smart servants are doing all the work before the launch in an orderly manner. They stretch out their tentacles and drag temporary buildings such as scaffolding to move backwards.

"Human cannon, level three preparations."

The ultimatum from the central intellectual brain announced the full activation of the Academy City's emergency security regulations.

In the midst of all the attention, the Helium III reactor began to supply power.

The huge energy that is enough to evaporate an entire reservoir in an instant is poured into the battery. The metal smelting technology from the Chitauri people prevents the guide rail of the electromagnetic railgun from being affected by the high temperature and melts on the spot.

Bane clenched his fists a little nervously, and he stood on the beam platform, staring at the base of the rail gun.

Even without the three-dimensional projection, Bain can still imagine that Saya is lying in the confined space inside the shell,

"emission."

The slightly pale electronic sound of the central intellectual brain penetrated the entire underground space. With the wanton pouring of electromagnetic force, the gun barrel in the guide rail disappeared instantly.

No, it's not disappearing, but because the initial speed of the trip is too high, which has exceeded the limit that human naked eyes can see clearly.

Dr. Bain, who has undergone body augmentation surgery, is still savoring the images left in his retina.

The gust of wind swept by the shells barely reached Bain, and he raised his head suddenly, looking at the sky far away.

The projectiles fired by the electromagnetic railgun climb all the way up, and the streamlined metal bullets can minimize air resistance to obtain the highest theoretical speed.

In fact, according to the estimates of Academy City's internal personnel, the warhead fired by this metal railgun known as the "cannon on earth" can easily break through the atmosphere at a certain firing angle and approach the earth's orbital surface.

After the power source is cut off, the shell will be recaptured by gravity and fall diagonally downward-similar to an ordinary intercontinental ballistic missile.

However, thanks to the technical capabilities kindly provided by the Chitauri, the projectile fired by the electromagnetic railgun can re-energize the power injection device during the first fall, and break through the atmosphere again-this process can be repeated 3 or 4 times, depending on the amount of fuel carried by the shell.

This also means that this metal cannonball is like a frog constantly jumping in low-earth orbit, with the help of the earth's gravitational trap, it can reach any corner of the blue planet.

For the electromagnetic railgun shells that can travel around the world, it is too simple to hit the Olympus ship suspended in the sky, not to mention the omnic octopuses that are woven into a large net around the ship and connected end to end. , creating a huge magnetic field to guide the bombardment direction of the metal shells.

Zeus is worthy of being the God King of Olympus. On the verge of life and death, he was able to keep his mind and summon thunderbolts to blast towards the shells.

Not only him, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, raised her long sword, Poseidon, the god of the sea, picked up the trident, Hades, the god of the underworld, picked up the hook chain, and all the main gods tried their best to block the progress of the cannonball.

Useless, useless, useless, useless, in front of the ultimate speed and quality, those magnificent divine powers that can level mountains are too late to cause sufficient damage.
