New Weapon part 2
A siren went on and gave them orders to stay within their vehicle, and sounds of machines moving under them soon they slowly descend and lights from all sides were opened then a huge metal door closed the top.
Ms Lin counted the floors that they passed until it stops from her calculation they are now 100 meters under the basement as soon as the wall facing them opened they saw a man walking in and it was Guan Yu ordering them to exit the vehicle and follow him for they came on the perfect time to witness the evolution of their new product.
she went with her boss and saw how huge the base was underground, her calculation was off, from where she stood the height of the ceiling was around 30 meters and the area was she so huge it was as big as a football field the beams supporting the ceiling has the same measurements of an upright cargo container.
Guan Yu was approached by a four-star general and greeted them with a smile and an introduction he was General Allen Thompson head of the special weapons development project. Ms Lin Siniang introduce herself including her three bodyguards. they were all accompanied by General Thompson to where the weapon testing will happen. there was an open space surrounded but a secondary wall with a height of ten feet and 40 feet wide and it was reinforced by a 5 by 5 feet flat sheet of steel plate with an inch of thickness, in front of was a new M1 Abram tank.
15 meters away and facing the tank was a metal table with every familiar weapon, even before she could ask Guan Yu told them all the details this was very the first handheld Plasma Railgun prototype that they develop but lacked special components that could control its output and the most important part is to create a portable energy source that can fire the gun continuously.
Guan Yu walked to a small platform on which General Thompson's command two mechanical hands went down from the ceiling and began attaching body armour, she notice that the body armour was similar to what they currently have in their headquarters, but the one Guan Yu wearing it was far more advanced and looked far more superior.
it only took a few minutes to fully equip the new body armour, Guan Yu pointed out to the project director that the plate was too heavy and made its movements rough as he move around he asked Ms Lin Siniang to write down the changes that must be implemented in the body plate, he elaborated these suites were already light but adding more metal would be bothersome to any soldier wearing it.
the lead weapon development unit in Fu Xi Shi corporation has already tested the special leather that he got from the dire wolves and it could withstand a direct hit from a full clip FMJ round at a distance of 5 meters with zero penetration, even if the person wearing the suit gets blasted by detonating half a pound of c-4 and placed a few feet from the test subject upon explosion with a blast radius of 2 meters the test subject was thrown away from the centre blast at 8 meters per second, after several more controlled analysis ten subjects were stunned and lost motor and sense function for 15 minutes, but others lost consciousness and pass out because of the outside force.
but all possible physical and mental variables were considered in the experiment and after weeks of test, they were convinced that all of the users were safe and body were functioning in a normal manner with no signs of visible trauma or internal damage to all the human subjects.
when the creature's remains were harvested and experimented on, the creature's body parts were flexible, durable, and with unlimited potential, it was noted that even if the creature was dead, its skin or anybody that has been modified to fit humanities needs, it still emits a small amount of electromagnetic energy that can deflect and absorb energy and the creatures has two hearts one was for the blood and the other one was its main power supply for it was made of an unknown crystal, and like an ordinary human heart that pump blood, this crystal pumps out energy strong enough to power an electric car that will run for a week, like a rechargeable battery, so upon knowing these rich and influential people grab the opportunity to create something that they know will bring them more power.
the chance to change one's destiny has finally come and no human being will ever be the same anymore. and the people who were at the forefront of this research with the funding from Fu Xi Shi and Sinclair corporation were Professor Mai Chenguang, Dr Mikhail Artyom, and General Allen Thompson.
the General was very impressed to finally see this prototype weapon considering now with the current situation the world is facing, he thought even death because of this tragedy gave humanity a light of hope.
After a few minutes of checking with all the members of the weapon development team, they gave Guan Yu and thumbs up and ask all personnel to prepare the firing the handheld railgun.
Guan Yu took the railgun that was the same length but had more weight than Barrett M82 with a more slick modern design due to its Tungsten projectile, any soldier will have trouble using the gun because of the 10 tungsten projectile ammunition. this is where the hydraulic exoskeleton inside the suit from the X5 Armor comes into use.
he grab the gun and lifted it and positioned himself in a firing position and waited for General Allen Thompson's men to give a signal, a loud siren can be heard and a female voice spoke.
Attention all personnel clear the testing area, the use of the X5 Armor and firing of the new prototype plasma railgun shall commence, initiating count from 5, 4, 3,2, 1 fire!
with this Guan Yu squeeze, the trigger and a sharp piercing sound were heard, and then a loud bang occurred as the tungsten projectile went thru the tank like it was paper, a large monitor screen captured every microsecond of the tungsten projectiles trajectory as it punctures the armoured tank with ease and even passes thru the steel plated concrete barricade and created an impact blast hole on the other side demolishing the actual underground base foundation as is stop.
a small amount of smoke can be seen from the muzzle break, but there was no heat on the gun, but Guan Yu was not yet satisfied and ask General Thompson to give another signal. the General nodded.
Attention all personnel clear the testing area, the use of the X5 Armor, and continuous firing of the new prototype plasma railgun shall commence, initiating count from 10, 9, 8, 7,6 .5, 4, 3,2, and 1 fire!
Guan Yu squeeze the trigger and consecutive sharp piercing sounds, everybody even the personnel in the base witnessing this was covering their ears, there was more smoke coming from the barricade concrete wall than the actual gun after he emptied the magazine and the smoke and debris were settling down, they were all shocked to see the destructive power of this gun.
the M1 Abram has been torn apart with just ten projectiles and everything behind it was obliterated even the first hole it created in the main structure of the base was now unexplainable and will cost to repair it is more than the amount of the tank itself.
everybody was happy, as the weapon technician doubled check the gun and the X5 armour they were more surprised to see it was still in perfect firing condition. Guan Yu looked at General Allen Thompson and asked him
so General when can we distribute this?
the general with a big smile on his face ...
Mr Guan Yu Liu Chen my dear friend rest assured we will use your guns on the next attack.
