Chapter 484 A New Type Of Ray Weapon

?

Wu Mo knew that the monster had managed to escape, but the troops at the forefront were bringing the huge monster claw back.

Once the stump was quickly transported back to the research center, everyone's eyes were fixed on it.

They all carefully analyzed the composition of the claw, and its scales were so thick that they were rendered speechless.

Following a meticulous study, they found that it was very difficult for existing weapons to tear it open. The monster's skin was also extremely tough.

"D*mn it, is it true that we can't deal with this monster using our current weapons?"

When Wu Mo and the old chief saw the claw's structure, they frowned.

Its toughness was unbelievable!

The sea monster's defense was far beyond their imagination.

Even though Wu Mo had anticipated the Sea Monster King's defense to be even stronger than the Omni-dwelling Demon Spider's and Titan Lord's, he still never thought it would be so shocking!

"We have to find a way to deal devastating damage to these monsters, rather than tickle them endlessly with conventional weapons."

The old chief had already decided that it was imperative to develop new weapons.

This arduous task naturally fell on Wu Mo's shoulders.

"Wu Mo, come with me."

The old chief immediately brought Wu Mo to the side.

"Wu Mo, do you have any ideas for a new weapon?" the old chief asked seriously as his eyes shone with anticipation.

He knew that if Wu Mo was able to develop a weapon that could break through the monsters' defense, they could reverse the situation.

"I think we should give up on electromagnetic firepower," Wu Mo said after pondering for a moment. "We should focus on a ray device."

The old chief nodded and praised, "That's right. The power of a ray device is indeed amazing!"

Although he was not a military designer, he knew the terrifying power of all kinds of rays in the universe.

Light years away, ray bursts produced by the explosion of an old planet could even travel through the entire galaxy.

Whenever a planet came into contact with a ray burst, it would probably be destroyed without a trace.

Just imagine, if the power of such rays was enough to destroy an entire planet, the new weapon would be immeasurably powerful with the same rays.

"The new weapon can borrow the power of cosmic explosions. Although it can't compare to the real explosion, if it's incorporated with a high-density ray device, it can definitely cause destructive damage to the monsters." Wu Mo said firmly.

The old chief's heart stirred when he heard that. He patted Wu Mo on the shoulder excitedly and showed his support. "Wu Mo, I'll leave this difficult mission to you!"

Wu Mo nodded with a bitter smile. He returned to the research base and immediately began his research.

Although it was extremely difficult to develop a high-density ray device, he realized that he could use the promotion and popularity of Life Second to earn enough system points in a short period of time.

At this time, the application of Life Second was already in full swing. Compared to Life First, the number of people receiving this injection was much smaller.

Life First had already entered the stage of widespread use, and about a hundred thousand people had already been injected with it.

Only a few hundred people had been injected with Life Second, but this was enough to prove its stability.

Wu Mo needed time. He had a lot of urgent projects to develop.

The sea monsters did not pose a serious threat to humans for now. From time to time, they would just cause a ruckus in the coastal city before retreating.

It seemed that the humans' rapid response with firepower had left an impact.

The monsters understood that if they stayed in a fixed location for a long time, they would be intercepted by firepower and be trapped.

Wu Mo and the others had guessed that once the Sea Monster King was injured, it would experience a slow recovery despite its high defense.

Therefore, it was not surprising that there was no sign of the Sea Monster King during this period of time.

Wu Mo noticed that there had been more injections of Life Second.

Following his instructions, the Institute of Special Biology promoted the injection of Life First every day, and at the same time, they also conducted a large number of trials on Life Second.

Now, Life Second was basically past the trial stage.

However, compared to Life First, the number of people who had been injected with it was still far inferior.

After all, Life Second could add sixty years to a human's lifespan and make them thirty years younger. As such, people were in disbelief and suspicious of it.

Therefore, Life First was far ahead in terms of numbers. Although Life Second was trying hard to catch up, it was still behind.

On this day, Wu Mo decided to use the media to publicize the true effects of Life Second to eliminate the public's doubts.

As expected, the publicity generated was beyond expectations. In turn, the number of people who were injected with Life Second in a single day finally surpassed Life First. It reached an astonishing two thousand per day.

In just ten days, the number of people had exceeded twenty thousand. Wu Mo could finally determine the prerequisites to develop a high-density ray device.

After three days of hard work, Wu Mo finally completed the high-density ray device in the laboratory.

After the news spread, the entire base was in an uproar.

Many officers and high-ranking officers came to the research room to check on Wu Mo's results. Even the old general was alarmed.

The old chief was already exhausted. He had been dealing with the invasion of sea monsters every day.

Now that he had learned of this good news, he immediately felt excited.

The advent of this weapon was undoubtedly great news for mankind.

Not long after, everyone was standing in the research room on the base. Before them was a machine gun that was about ninety centimeters long. Its shooting range was from nine hundred to a thousand meters.

As for it pitch-black steel body, it glinted with a menacing cold light.

When they touched the machine gun, the texture of metal particles hit them.

An officer carefully played with it and asked in confusion, "Chief Engineer Wu, this machine gun seems different from any existing machine gun. Did you develop this yourself?"

Wu Mo nodded.

A high-density ray device was not easy to carry, and it could not be placed on large weapons such as a destroyer or cruiser for now.

Therefore, he could only use the machine gun as a temporary medium.

If someone dismantled this machine gun, they would find that its internal structure was extremely complicated and difficult to describe in a short sentence.

"The principle of high-density rays originates from the gamma-ray bursts produced by the explosions of red giant stars in the universe," Wu Mo explained to everyone. "A ray like this has a huge amount of energy, and it's difficult for us to fully simulate its power. However, I've simulated part of a ray burst's effect in this machine gun. Once you encounter a sea monster, its power will definitely surprise you."

"But its range is only a thousand meters. We'll be easily injured if we shoot a sea monster from such a close distance," an officer said.

Wu Mo replied, "Even though there's a certain degree of danger being a thousand meters away, we can use armored vehicles or tall buildings as cover. When the monsters drop their guard, we can give them a fatal blow. Once we defeat them, we can immediately retreat. There are still some shortcomings in this high-density ray machine gun, though. For example, its range needs to be further improved as you pointed out, but we will solve these problems one by one."

"You've made a huge breakthrough by developing a high-density ray device. I believe that with this as a starting point, the subsequent series of high-density ray devices will follow swiftly," the old chief praised.

Wu Mo nodded in agreement.

Right then, the alarm on the base blared again.
