It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

"Even with the protection of the drone swarm, the energy storage time of several seconds is enough for the [Golden Crow] battleship to tear it to pieces."

Tao Yuda's face was full of astonishment.

It seems... makes sense?

He looked thoughtfully at the wreckage in the holographic projection, and seemed to have gotten some inspiration from such a weapon design.

"professor."

"Do you know about ball lightning?"

Tao Yuda murmured to himself with excitement in his eyes.

"Huh?" Lu Yongchang was stunned, "Ball lightning? That kind of strange physical phenomenon in the earth age?"

A little distant memory appeared in his mind.

It was a thunderstorm.

An orange-red "fireball" travels against the wind in the air.

It drew a strange and graceful curve, and got into the room of the research institute through the gap in the window.

"boom!"

After a loud bang.

The "fireball" exploded.

That accident caused the Institute to suffer considerable losses.

"Of course I know." Lu Yongchang said with some nostalgia, "I remember that many people were studying this miraculous natural phenomenon at that time."

"Now it seems that it is somewhat similar to our plasma weapon."

"That's right!" Tao Yuda nodded again and again, "It's like a plasma ball surrounded by a strong magnetic field!"

"Since we can use [battering ram] as a one-time weapon, why can't the drone it carries be also a one-time weapon?"

"No, it's not just the [Battering Ram], it can also be used on every battleship."

Lu Yongchang's expression moved slightly.

He seemed to understand the meaning of Tao Yuda's words.

"You mean, the drone is designed to be a single-use...plasma shell?"

"No, it's not a shell." The expression on Tao Yuda's face became more and more excited, "To be precise, it should be a missile."

"Under Zero's control, these plasma-wrapped UAVs can completely achieve full-range guidance and carry out precise strikes on targets!"

Chapter 441 "Ball Lightning"

Lu Yongchang quickly deduced it briefly in his mind.

"Theoretically speaking..."

He nodded calmly: "It is feasible."

"The difficulty of transformation is not high."

"After the test is passed, it can be used as one of the standing weapons of the human fleet."

"Professor." Zero's holographic image appeared beside him, "I have news about you from the biology lab."

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang's expression became a little serious.

He pondered for a moment, then said to Tao Yuda, "You will be in charge of this research project."

"I have to go to the biology lab."

"It is estimated that the human enhancement project has made a breakthrough."

……

【Earth】

The door of the biological shipboard laboratory suddenly opened, revealing the scene inside.

The first thing that catches the eye are five huge transparent cylindrical containers.

The cylindrical container is approximately two meters high, large enough to place a full-grown human inside.

The container is full of light yellow solution.

As expected, it should be a high-concentration nutrient solution.

It seems that the experiment has reached the final step.

A gleam of joy flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes, and he walked into the biology laboratory.

……

"Professor! This way!"

Thanks to Zero's reminder, Mao Zhengzhi immediately discovered Lu Yongchang who had entered the laboratory.

He quickly put down the unimportant work in his hands, and trotted towards Lu Yongchang.

"Ready to start human experiments?"

Lu Yongchang raised his chin, and motioned to the five big jars next to him calmly: "Have all the animal experiments passed?"

Mao Zhengzhi nodded quickly, and stretched out his hand to summon a holographic projection.

"Mice, monkeys, chimpanzees..."

"For the sake of safety, all possible experiments have been done."

"The effect is very good. As of now, we have not found any abnormal reactions."

"Where is the genetic gene?" Lu Yongchang asked quickly.

"The genetics of each experimental animal have not been polluted." Mao Zhengzhi said happily, "That's why I decided to start human experiments."

"After all, cities No. [-] and No. [-] on the surface of Dawn Star are under construction. Naturally, the sooner the human body strengthening project can be carried out, the better."

"Have you found the experimental subject?" Lu Yongchang asked softly as he walked towards the experimental platform.

"of course."

Mao Zhengzhi subconsciously lowered his volume: "They are all death row prisoners who committed crimes against humanity."

"They were deprived of all human rights."

"At Ross 154, they were forced into hibernation in order to deal with experimental projects that may be needed in the future."

Lu Yongchang nodded, expressing his understanding.

He had also heard about the crimes committed by this group of people.

It is nothing more than trying to send some inappropriate information to [Hua].

But they apparently forgot one thing.

All electronic equipment in the human fleet is under zero surveillance.

then……

There was no accident, they were arrested just when they were about to put their ideas into practice.

"These capitulationism, death is not a pity!"

Lu Yongchang narrowed his eyes in disgust: "Let's start the experiment."

Mao Zhengzhi nodded, and gestured to the scientific researchers in the distance.

Looking at the experimental scene not far away, Lu Yongchang frowned.

"When the experiment is over and all the tests are completed, give them peace of mind."

"Don't leave any trouble behind."

"Human civilization does not need this kind of scum."

Mao Zhengzhi nodded solemnly: "Don't worry."

"Guaranteed nothing will go wrong."

……

a few days later.

"professor."

"Look." Mao Zhengzhi stood in front of a cylindrical container and unfolded the holographic image responsible for monitoring vital signs. "According to the inspection data sent back by the nano-robots, omentum has appeared on the surface of some of their internal organs."

"Not only that, but their muscle strength was also greatly enhanced."

"It is conservatively estimated that at present, their physical fitness should be more than doubled."

Lu Yongchang carefully observed the data on the holographic projection and nodded silently.

According to the data, the success of the human body enhancement experiment should be a matter of time.

But biological experiments are always full of accidents.

Therefore, until the last second, Lu Yongchang did not dare to let go of his high hanging heart.

"How much time will it take before the strengthening is completed?"

Mao Zhengzhi glanced at the experiment records.

"Just had my fourth booster injection this morning."

"According to the experimental data of chimpanzees and monkeys, it will take about three days."

……

Three days passed in a flash.

While waiting for the results of the experiment, a good news came from Laboratory No. [-].

Tao Yuda successfully completed the modification of the drone and passed a series of tests.

Plasma missiles have also become one of the standing weapons of the human fleet.

To commemorate it, Tao Yuda specially named it [Ball Lightning].

True to its name.

After the modified drone released a large amount of plasma, its shape really looked like the ball lightning of the Earth era.

It's just that it's bigger, it lasts longer, and its power is even more astonishing.

Moreover, under Zero's control, the flight trajectories of these large ball lightnings are even weirder.

The extremely high mobility is destined to be the main output weapon in the interstellar battlefield.

only……

The resource consumption of war is even greater.

Whether it is [Ball Lightning] or [Battering Ram], they are all disposable consumables.

This means that once the human fleet encounters an interstellar war, Zero will face an extremely severe test of productivity.

Fortunately, Academician Mo Zeyang's new generation of optical quantum computer has passed the preliminary test.

It is estimated that in a short time, the productivity level of human civilization will climb several steps again!

"Professor, one of the experimenters has woken up and has been sent to a separate gravity cabin."

Mao Zhengzhi's words interrupted Lu Yongchang's thoughts.

"Go and have a look."

Lu Yongchang's eyes lit up.

Finally waited!

He quickly unfastened the electromagnetic adsorption device on the seat, and followed Mao Zhengzhi towards the experimental bench.

In the huge holographic projection, the picture inside the gravity cabin is shown.
