Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 054: VR Military Training, and Laser Weapons

—Main Hall—

Fan Chen, Yun Mingyue, Fu Shen, Fu Shan, Xu Chen and Wang Bin had come in the meeting room that was in one of the rooms on the first floor of the Main Hall.

Everyone stood around a round table made of special glass, which uses ionic when mixing it in the melt glass and setting the right time for tempering the glass so as to successfully produce special glass that meets the requirements.

Photons of a certain frequency exchange energy with ions in the medium, and the energy carried by the photons is released at a certain position, creating dazzling points of light.

This is the principle of holographic display imaging. Then by calculating the formula of energy exchange between photons and ions, will produce a holographic image that is very clear and not different from reality.

But the basic principle of a holographic display is to use a laser flashlight to illuminate a special glass ball, the laser passes through a special glass ball, and a beam of light is somewhere on top of a special glass ball.

The glass on the table is divided into the field of view and the receiving ball. When the receiving ball is injected with a laser of a different wavelength, the holographic image will remain stable in the air somewhere in front of the display surface.

Yun Mingyue clapped her hands and said, "Xiaochu, show me the basic zombies."

“Good, General.” Xiaochu's voice rang out from the speakers under the table.

Holographic images of zombies began to appear on the table in size according to reality. This image was very real, as if there were really zombies standing in front of them.

If they don't understand, it may just be that holographic technology is very simple, but in fact a holographic image is made up of billions of light spots, and the color of light is made up of the three main colors of red light, green and blue, making the structure simpler.

Yun Mingyue waved his hand, making the zombies spin so that everyone could see the appearance of the zombies from the front.

Everyone does not wear Smart Glasses or tools that are worn on the hands. There is a camera installed in the upper corner of the room, on several sides, either above, in the middle, ceiling, even below, or even below, this is all in order to maximize the camera's capture power against all the slightest movements.

The camera sends a signal to the quantum computer, and the quantum computer processes it according to the motion sensor captured by the camera.

Yun Mingyue looked at everyone, then said, "We all know the basic zombie is very weak, even an ordinary wooden batter can kill it as long as it hits right on his head. Zombies on it are more difficult, can run even jump like children. Higher zombies are already able to climb the wall, using their hands and feet to attack, these zombies also no longer rely on hearing, but also their sharp smell ..."

"Third-level zombies are already very difficult to overcome, but with rocket-propelled grenades, we can still kill them, and the running speed is like athlete Usain Bolt."

"Fourth level zombies, we haven't encountered any of them yet, but we can assume that rocket-propelled grenades are no longer effective. It's like a Steel Tank Beetle, but its ability is half weaker."

Xiaochu continued to change the image of the zombies displayed, along with simulated attack after attack.

Everyone nodded when they heard Yun Mingyue's explanation while looking at the holographic image ahead.

After explaining the characteristics of the zombies as well as the beasts according to the data that had been collected, Yun Mingyue went to another discussion. "I don't doubt the capabilities of our military personnel, but there are many dangers out there. Therefore we must realize the VR Military Training Program as soon as possible."

Yun Mingyue looked at Xu Chen and Wang Bin. "What about the related equipment?"

Wang Bin smiled and said, "Xiaochu, please show us the weapons we have developed."

Xiaochu showed all the weapons that are usually used in Mingyue Defense, only with different colors to distinguish where the original and imitation weapons just from their appearance.

"This weapon has two modes: the first one only gives off a flash of light when the trigger is pulled, this is used when fighting zombies in VR mode; the second one when fighting against fellow soldiers, the second one when fighting against fellow soldiers, will release the laser shot with a temperature of 50° Celsius." Wang Bin explained it briefly.

Fan Chen nodded and took out his thoughts through Wang Bin's explanation. "So, when soldiers are fighting each other, we can use two different methods. The first one is safer, we can let Xiaochu send a signal to the Exoskeleton and release a short electric shock. But to increase the physical and speed in making decisions, we can use the second method without the help of the Exoskeleton."

Fu Shan looked at the report in his hand and added, "Yes, in the usual practice of using an electric airsoft gun, most soldiers would rather accept it than have to roll around on rocky ground. But with this discovery, surely the soldier prefers to avoid, and it would be nice for every laser attack to result in normal burns, at least to make the skin blister."

Yun Mingyue was speechless with her head bowed, then nodded her head in agreement. Blistering wounds are still relatively small than being shot by bullets, and this can be used as a deterrent effect for soldiers to be better prepared to practice, as if they were fighting for their lives.

Yun Mingyue looked at Fan Chen. "Are you going to go on a third expedition?"

Xu Chen nodded. "Of course, we just need to change the safety and loosen the pressure that holds the electric current. Replacing the resonator mirror with better quality to reflect the photon, making the emission stronger while adding the same stimulus."

Xu Chen waved his hand, revealing the inside of the laser weapon shown by Xiaochu.

The inside is a resonator mirror, and when flowed by high voltage, will trigger the quartz flash tube emitting strong light, the, then make some of the atoms in the ruby crystal excited to a higher energy level.

When it reaches a certain energy level, some atoms emit photons (particles of light). At first the photon beam has not been focused on one point alias spread in all directions. Photons released by one atom will stimulate the emission of photons from other atoms, so that the intensity of light is amplified quickly.

These photons will continue to bounce inside the resonator mirror, making their movement faster and going to one point. Photons released through this one point will produce a laser with a certain temperature depending on the electrical power provided.

Fan Chen looked at him while folding both his hands in front of his chest. He thought, about the use of electric power used for laser weapons, but when he thought of a laser toy that could light up with 1.8VDC and 50 mAh batteries, he felt that the current battery was fine.

Fan Chen waved his hand, shrinking the camera or zooming out. "This weapon, can we add a gas pumping mechanism to amplify laser energy, such as: CO2, Hydrogen and Nitrogen. If we use this method, it should be able to save battery power usage. Take for example, to get a laser beam with a temperature of 2,500° Celsius will use 100A ..."

"If we add a gas pumping method, we can shorten the process of splitting atoms to produce photons. Energy spent will be less, we can save energy as much as 25 — 30%."

Fan Chen turned his head to look at Xu Chen and Wang Bin, asking for their opinions.

Xu Chen looked at the image that Xiaochu had altered after following Fan Chen's explanation. "It can be used, but for weapons of human use, it is strongly discouraged. Not only from the increased weight, but there is a danger of chemicals that are likely to leak and explode. So, it is still better to use the existing method, although it is more wasteful, only a hundred shots with normal power, but it is better for the sake of security."

"For gas pumping, we can use it for defensive weapons and coupled with nuclear pumping. But to withstand nuclear radiation, we must use Silicon Cabrida, not Crystalline Silicon as the material. But there's another problem, we don't have a capable material folding technology."

Yun Mingyue looked at Fan Chen beside her with a look of astonishment, and she could not hide her happy smile. She was very happy when she saw her knowledgeable son, and she was eager to hug him, but she held back from being in important discussions.

Wetting continued, and eventually took the first design with a magazine containing three parallel Graphene Batteries to increase the current stored, so it could shoot as many as 300 shots.

After the discussion was over, Fu Shen, Fu Shan, Xu Chen and Wang Bin came out of the meeting room, going to each of the places where they worked.

Yun Mingyue smiled, opened her hands and hugged Fan Chen. "Mother's son is amazing."

Fan Chen was stunned, but immediately returned his embrace. "I'm still learning, just the ability of Creation is not enough. I had to understand all the workings to be able to develop it, and because of having this knowledge, I felt a smaller workload because the energy needed was just to create the material."

The holographic drawing table conjured up Xiaochu who was sitting on a chair, wearing sunglasses while eating popcorn. “Xiaochu often see your closeness, Xiaochu also want to have a body to hug Master.”

Fan Chen glanced at him and said, "Wait until we break through the technology in the somatosensory field, maybe we can create the perfect body for Xiaochu so that it can feel the taste of touch, aroma, including taste."

Xiaochu stopped eating the popcorn, tilted his head and said, “Don't that mean we should start from the reader technology and the brainwave breaker? Transferring consciousness to the virtual world, meeting Xiaochu in the virtual world to experience the somatosensory system. After Xiaochu got the data, then Xiaochu could understand the taste, just switched to a silicone-based body.”

"Yes ..." Fan Chen nodded and said, "Scientist Xu Chen has discussed with Katerina. By developing special technologies, implanting motor nerve prostheses in paralyzed humans, we can make them reborn. But you'll have to undergo major surgery, such as replacing some damaged muscles and nerves with carbon fiber and graphene. If the bone is already fragile and can not withstand the weight of the body, then large-scale operations such as bone replacement with titanium material ..."

Fan Chen looked at Xiaochu without letting go of his embrace. "But in contrast to Xiaochu, we can directly attach motor nerve prostheses in the fingers, ears, eyes, nose and connect them directly to the information storage system of the quantum brain."

“Master, can Xiaochu design Xiaochu's own body?” Xiaochu asked with sparkling eyes.

Fan Chen was speechless, then he nodded. He understood what Xiaochu was thinking, considering that Xiaochu was very fond of Yun Mingyue and Katerina's body shapes.
