678 、 Tang Yu's Armory (Part 1)
"Next up is your upgrade. However, we have yet to obtain the design plan for the artificial muscles. Carra Ladames's research on the dragon gene has yet to be put into practical use. So, regarding your leveling up, I'll have to push it back a little. "Tang Yu said apologetically to Cameron, who was walking over.
"It's alright, I can still be of use." Cameron smiled sweetly at Tang Yu.
"Then I'll leave the Aurora Island base to you!" Tang Yu said with a smile. Now that the Aurora Island base was basically completed, all that was left was to continue the expansion work. Therefore, Schwarzenegger and Cameron began to stay at the Aurora Island base for a long period of time.
Schwarzenegger's main job here was to conduct research on quantum fields, striving to master the law of causality weapons as soon as possible. In addition, if the raiding security company led by Ellison needed help, Schwarzenegger could also be mobilized at any time. After the destruction of the T-3000, Skynet's activities became very low. In the past year, there had only been a total of five Terminator invasions, and all of them were T-888. From the looks of it, Skynet was only carrying out routine harassment.
However, Tang Yu had no way to threaten Skynet, and could only passively defend.
Cameron had obtained a soul due to the previous incident with Alice Young. Therefore, among the several Terminators, her intelligence could be said to be the highest. After Frans was confirmed to be a child's soul within the powerful AI core, most of the decision-making of the Aurora Island base was handed over to Cameron, and not the somewhat childish Frans.
Now, in her free time, Cameron would also look up a lot of military books and information. After the reconstruction of the Aurora Island base's defense network, she was the one who designed it.
Currently, the defense system of the Aurora Island base was based on the ion beam cannon installed at the top of the mountain as the core, along with a 120mm caliber electromagnetic cannon, a 50mm dual-purpose electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon, and six 30mm caliber melee cannons. In the hidden area of the island, there were also hundreds of Guardian Type IV robots distributed as hidden sentries. In any case, the robots did not eat, drink, or poop. Once they were in position, they could stay. This long-range and close-range defense system turned a five-kilometer radius around the Aurora Island into a dead zone.
During this time, the military department under Tang Yu had made significant breakthroughs in electromagnetic acceleration technology. The direct applications were electromagnetic railguns and plasma engines. In fact, the principles of these two technologies were the same, but there were differences in practical application.
The technology in that regard mainly came from the files that Tang Yu brought back from Overwatch. After Tang Yu promised Tobian and Jack Morrison to return to the world ten years ago, Tobian gave him a very detailed research file. Apart from industrial machines, there was also information on electromagnetic acceleration technology and electromagnetic levitation technology.
After digesting a portion of the technical data, the military department under Tang Yu could now manufacture the 150mm caliber electromagnetic railgun. Now, the 7.62mm caliber electromagnetic rifle that Tang Yu named "Dagger" was already on the market in large quantities. It was widely sold in the three worlds: Terminator, Resident Evil: Curse, and Alien vs Predator. Under Chen Gang's operation, it brought about rich profits.
The first generation "Dagger" electromagnetic assault rifle could fire 30g normal shell-less bullets or 55g shell-less tungsten core armor-piercing bullets. The bullet had a muzzle velocity of 2500m/s, and the theoretical maximum effective killing range was 2km. This had already exceeded the limit of a normal soldier's combat range. Moreover, this rifle could choose between a 30-round normal magazine or a 150-round spiral magazine.
During an actual combat exercise, two soldiers with the "Dagger" electromagnetic assault rifle directly destroyed a BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle! The "Dagger" rifle that used normal bullets had a high chance of penetrating the side armor of the BMP-1 at a distance of 200m. However, after the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle was replaced with tungsten core armor-piercing bullets, the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle was riddled with holes from all angles at a distance of 300m!! At this distance, no weapon on the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle could pose much of a threat to the agile soldiers!
Military experts from various countries could only exclaim in shock at this result. The birth of the "Dagger" electromagnetic assault rifle directly eliminated the infantry fighting vehicle from the stage of history! Even the main battle tanks, which had dominated the land for hundreds of years, were greatly challenged! This was because once the weak rear armor of the tank was attacked, the "Dagger" rifle could also paralyze the tank!!
Once this rifle was introduced, it immediately caused a sensation in the international society of the three worlds. In the end, the United Nations even directly issued a bill to prohibit this powerful automatic weapon from entering the black market. Moreover, Chen Gang also set a very high price for this rifle. Compared to a normal assault rifle with an average price of 500-1000 USD, the "Dagger" rifle with an average price of 8000 USD was really a noble gun.
Even so, in order to obtain the "Dagger" electromagnetic assault rifle order, all the countries still broke their heads. In the "Terminator" world, after the representative from the UK received an order of 5000 "Dagger" rifles, he cried out in joy like a little child.
Tang Yu only smiled at this result. He told Chen Gang to publicly announce that due to the power bottleneck of the nuclear battery used in the "Dagger" rifle, a larger caliber electromagnetic weapon could not be successfully developed in the near future. This also made the countries that were in a state of panic feel a little better. Because once a large number of electromagnetic weapons appeared, the pattern of war was bound to be reshuffled, and the military superiority of these countries would be challenged. The impact of one "Dagger" rifle was already very big.
However, these countries also coincidentally began to research electromagnetic weapons. They also purchased a considerable portion of the "Dagger" rifles for disassembly and analysis. But this was useless. The principle of electromagnetic weapons was very simple, everyone knew it. But to really use it, it involved many aspects, such as energy, materials, electric current, and so on. If it wasn't for the detailed information Tang Yu obtained from "Overwatch", it would have been impossible to achieve a breakthrough in a year. Therefore, the efforts of these countries were destined to be half the result with twice the effort.
Moreover, in Tang Yu's robot army, a large number of them were equipped with "Dagger II", a 10mm caliber electromagnetic assault rifle. This weapon was now the standard weapon of the Guardian Type IV robot.
