Chapter 440 - Serious Issues (3)

"Oh?"

Ji Zhenping immediately asked, "How did it get destroyed?"

"It's either an electromagnetic scan or a ray scan!" Ji Feng said.

"Tell me more details." Ji Zhenping said.

"Let's put it this way. There is an energy source within the laser gun. This thing is like a bullet from a normal pistol. It's responsible for providing energy." Ji Feng said, "Different models of laser guns have different types of energy sources. For example, the energy sources we use now are also different. Electricity, oil, solar, wind and so on …"

"The energy source of this laser gun is also similar. As long as it can provide a high level of energy, it can be used." Ji Feng replied, "Of course. The premise is that we have to be able to control this super high energy source."

"Ugh!"

Ji Zhenping nodded. "I understand what you mean."

Ji Feng said, "And outside of this energy source, there is a sh.e.l.l. This is the thing that holds the energy source. It's like a pistol clip or a nuclear reactor. There must be a thick layer of protection on the outside."

"In other words, outside of this energy source, there is a container that is responsible for holding this energy source. At the same time, this container can also serve as a form of protection?" Ji Zhenping asked.

"That's what it means." Ji Feng nodded, "Originally, if it was a sophisticated laser gun built using technology, there definitely wouldn't be this kind of self-destruct phenomenon, because all the energy sources that can be used in the laser gun are extremely stable. In addition to energy sources, there are also things that can trigger this energy."

"The energy provided by the energy source must be triggered and converted into a super high energy laser, or a high-energy ray similar to a laser." Ji Feng said, "And if the laser gun was destroyed, the energy source wouldn't have been triggered. Even if the laser gun disintegrated, the most the energy source would only dissipate in the air and not turn into something that would pose a threat."

Ji Feng said, "However, the laser gun that I brought back already has a very big flaw. It is not too stable, and the energy source that it uses is probably not a mature energy source that has been repeatedly verified. In addition, the material that makes the laser gun doesn't meet a certain standard, so when it goes through an electromagnetic or radiation scan, it might be triggered."

With a confident look on his face, Ji Feng continued, "If I'm not wrong, the scanning equipment used by the experts when they were conducting their experiments are very likely to have a pulse because it's the easiest way to trigger an outbreak of unstable energy sources!"

Ji Feng could not help but shake his head. He had thought that something was amiss. However, when he finally understood what was going on, he realized that it was actually quite normal. It was all within his expectations.

The laser gun he got was not stable, especially the materials used to make it, there was a huge gap between it and the mature and stable laser gun.

For example, guns made of metal had stable performance and great power. If you fired a bullet, it would be as easy as cutting vegetables.

However, if the gun was made of plastic, then once the bullet was fired, the explosive energy produced would be enough to shatter the plastic pistol into pieces. Even the person holding the gun would be injured.

Of course, if it was a special plastic, that was an exception.

This laser gun also has the same logic. The energy source is unstable, the materials used to make the laser gun aren't up to standard, or the technology hasn't, yet the laser gun doesn't go through the normal channels and is triggered by the energy source. There's no place to release the energy that's erupting, so it would be strange if the laser gun isn't destroyed!

This was also why he had previously determined that the laser gun wouldn't take too long and had many flaws.

If the materials could not keep up with the technology, then it was naturally not an ordinary weapon that was up to standard!

But soon, Ji Feng realized that something was amiss … It wasn't that what he said was wrong, on the contrary, it was because he seemed to have said too much.

He immediately raised his head and looked over. Sure enough, he saw his uncle staring at him with a strange gaze.

This is bad!

Ji Feng thought that he had said too much in his heart.

The laser gun, energy source, triggers, pulses etc … Even a lot of professionals might not be able to understand these things, because the technology of the laser gun was not the technology of this era.

It would be strange if my uncle wasn't shocked.

"Uncle, it looks like there might be a second or even more laser guns outside!" Seeing that the situation wasn't good, Ji Feng hurriedly changed the topic, "This guy probably died under the laser. It seems like he almost found out the truth, which is why he was killed."

Ji Zhenping nodded. He thought so too, but the truth was they all thought so too. He just wanted to know another question.

"Little Feng, you mentioned something about a laser gun's energy source. How do you know so much about that?" Ji Zhenping asked.

"Err …"

Ji Feng couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, as expected, he's really here.

He smiled and said, "That's simple. Although I'm majoring in economics, I'm particularly interested in these kinds of scientific and technological things, and I like to study them in detail. Moreover, I've read a lot of specialized academic reports from abroad, so I know all of this. How about it, Uncle? Your nephew, I'm not bad, am I?"

"Not just 'not bad'!"

Ji Zhenping said, "Even many of the experts don't know the reason behind the destruction of the laser gun. They don't even know the principle of the laser gun yet. You are only at the deduction stage right now, yet you actually explained everything so clearly …"

Ji Feng knew that his little uncle had some doubts regarding his explanation. Indeed, for a problem that even some experts had yet to figure out, a university student would only rely on studying books to understand it so well.

Even though his education wasn't too high and he wasn't an expert in science, Ji Feng knew that he had said too much.

Although those energy sources, triggers, conversion devices and the like were all very simple and easy to understand, it was impossible to understand the principles behind each and every one of them without sufficient knowledge.

Needless to say, he directly explained the theory behind it in simple terms.

Ji Feng was slightly vexed in his heart. He had also forgotten himself just now, but this was not a bad thing. He could use this opportunity to lay the groundwork for his young uncle's thoughts.

So he smiled and said, "Uncle, there's a good saying. Interests are the best teachers! "Before, when I was not in university, I was seriously short of money, so after I went to university, I had to learn some fields related to money. In the end, I studied economics."

"But after entering university, I don't lack money anymore. Besides, I've also discovered that I don't really like economics at all. Instead, I like the research and formulas of science and technology even more."

Ji Feng laughed, "That's why I like to look at these things when I have nothing better to do. I have a special small laboratory in Jiang Prefecture for research purposes!"

"Right!"

Ji Feng suddenly thought of something and said, "My warning device was personally made by me after buying the basic parts. It has a very good effect and has been discovered by me in advance several times. Today, I have to find second brother to help me purchase the machinery and equipment!"

"Oh?"

"Why are you buying machines?" Ji Zhenping asked.

Ji Feng replied, "I plan to research and study metals, like getting some super alloys. Didn't the conglomerate buy them from the Brilliant Group? I just want to study it myself, if I can find something even more powerful than that super alloy of theirs, I want to see what they think! "

"You brat … I didn't expect you to have such high talent in this aspect! "It seems that if you do research, you might really be able to achieve some success!" Ji Zhenping shook his head with a smile.

"I will continue to work hard!"

Ji Feng laughed, "Uncle, maybe one day I will be able to come up with something that will shock the world. I already have some ideas and have prepared a lot of information. Once I have the equipment, I can start researching."

Ji Zhenping laughed. "As long as it doesn't delay matters, it's not a bad thing for you to be interested in something. If you continue like this, you might even be able to achieve success!"

Ji Zhenping knew that there were many examples of this in the world. He had never studied professionally and had only relied on his own interests to achieve great things. Ji Feng was intelligent to begin with, so perhaps he could really achieve great things.

However, he quickly became serious and said: "Feng, do you know that if what you say is the truth, then the problem will be very serious?"

"... "Right."

The smile on Ji Feng's face also disappeared, replaced by a stern expression, "Yeah."

The problem was indeed very serious!

Even more advanced weapons had appeared on the battlefield, and they were most likely laser guns. This caused Ji Feng to be greatly shocked in his heart.

This meant that there was a high possibility that the laser gun had been improved. At the very least, some flaws had been fixed and could now be put into use.

More importantly, once the laser gun was truly developed successfully, then in a one against three situation, the other side might be able to research even more powerful weapons. At that time, other than nuclear weapons, all the weapons in the world would be nothing but sc.r.a.p metal!

And the most shocking thing about Ji Feng was that he didn't know which country or organization possessed such a high level of technological prowess.

Was it really a dynasty?

According to Ji Feng's conjecture, the laser gun that he brought back from America was most likely manufactured by the dynasty. If that was the case, then how terrifying would the empire's technological level and manufacturing ability be?
