Chapter 451: Chapter 450: Guarantee

If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to tell me. Whether it’s materials, personnel, or machinery, we will do our best to find a solution for you. Your research is currently a priority project, and any issues will be addressed by the Yan Family with utmost urgency.

The top leader even gave Jiang Cheng a guarantee, letting Jiang Cheng have no worries in his research.

This represents the Yan Family’s support for Jiang Cheng, sparing no expense to ensure he develops the Gauss Rifle.

Such support is rarely seen, and if it weren’t for seeing the changes in future combat, the top leader wouldn’t make such a commitment.

Future warfare will inevitably be battles between Humanoid Armors, and a weapon capable of damaging Humanoid Armor has become a key military concern.

Although Jiang Cheng got a direct assurance from the top leader that he can receive nationwide support for the development of the Gauss Rifle,

Jiang Cheng finds that he doesn’t actually need this support, as the relevant Gauss Rifle development technologies can be achieved with his current resources.

This firearm doesn’t require special support; Jiang Cheng can accomplish it on his own.

However, although Jiang Cheng doesn’t need support, he didn’t refuse the leader’s goodwill.

Not needing this support now doesn’t mean he won’t need it in the future.

In the future, Jiang Cheng might need the Yan Family’s support, and nobody can predict the future, right?

They’ll note this favor down for now and use it later when needed.

This special drill concluded like this, and everyone left the secret base one after another.

This exercise has set the future direction for military development, particularly the army’s decision to vigorously develop Iron Man Armor.

After watching the exercise, the military leaders clearly understood that in the face of such powerful Humanoid Armor forces, anything like tanks and artillery seems as fragile as paper.

The future will be the era of Humanoid Armor; nothing else has the capital to contend with it, and other military equipment will gradually become obsolete.

This rhetoric has basically gained unanimous recognition within the military, and the future development focus of the Yan Family will be on Humanoid Armor.

At the very least, artillery and tank units will need to start being gradually reduced.

All the resources saved will be invested into Iron Man Armor and Genetic Evolution Potions.

Currently, there are about a thousand soldiers strengthened with Genetic Evolution Potion, and roughly a thousand Iron Man Armors have also been manufactured.

This number is still far from meeting the Yan Family’s needs, and according to the plan, it will soon be increased to about ten thousand.

Ten thousand enhanced humans wearing Iron Man Armor will become the pillar of the Yan Family’s future and a symbol of their strength.

After leaving the base, Jiang Cheng returned to Luo City. As soon as he got back, he shut himself in the lab again, starting another round of day and night research.

This time, his goal was very clear: the legendary firearm, the Gauss Rifle.

The manufacture of the Gauss Rifle is not difficult for Jiang Cheng, especially since it was a well-established technology in his previous life, even to the point of being outdated.

In his previous life, the Gauss Rifle was akin to the current homemade gunpowder guns, a very rudimentary item.

This is due to the gap between two worlds, and for a time, even Jiang Cheng had no solutions.

Jiang Cheng wanted to directly produce the most advanced laser gun, but unfortunately, given the current state of Earth, it couldn’t be made.

Many materials were simply unavailable to Jiang Cheng, and most manufacturing equipment had not even appeared yet.

However, Jiang Cheng wasn’t anxious, knowing that scientific progress moves forward step by step. For now, he decided to focus on producing the Gauss Rifle rather than thinking of those high-tech firearms.

The materials needed to manufacture the Gauss Rifle are mostly common, consisting mainly of ordinary alloys, apart from a key material, which is also easily accessible.

That key material isn’t an issue for Jiang Cheng either.

As Jiang Cheng already possesses it — it’s the room-temperature superconducting material.

The Gauss Rifle, a firearm powered by electromagnetic force, naturally requires electrical components, and superconducting material is the best electromagnetic rail material.

Without superconducting materials, a Gauss Rifle is merely a joke.

But with superconducting materials, the Gauss Rifle becomes a lethal weapon.

This is really a coincidental event, as the preliminary material developed by Jiang Cheng for nuclear fusion technology turned out to be essential for the Gauss Rifle this time.

This unexpected coincidence saved Jiang Cheng a lot of time; otherwise, he would have had to research superconducting materials before starting on the Gauss Rifle.

The manufacturing process was very smooth, and within a few days, the Gauss Rifle was completed.

After completing the manufacture, Jiang Cheng directly contacted Major General Xiang Dong and once again took a military transport plane to the secret base used in the last exercise.

He came this time to test the power of the Gauss Rifle, and the firearm he manufactured was a special version this time.

The size and weight were much larger than ordinary firearms, catering to be a dedicated Gauss Rifle for Humanoid Armor.

The testing site was crowded with people, primarily senior military officials, all there to witness the Gauss Rifle’s power.

This time, the top leader didn’t attend as he was very busy.

Jiang Cheng opened a large box and took out a silver firearm from it.

The firearm had a streamlined shape and a striking primary color, giving it a futuristic tech feel.

”This is the firearm I manufactured this time, the Gauss Rifle that once existed only in fantasy!” Jiang Cheng explained as he handed the firearm to a nearby soldier.

The soldier was also an enhanced special forces officer who was already wearing Iron Man Armor.

After the soldier took the Gauss Rifle, Jiang Cheng proceeded to introduce it to the others.

”I named this gun ’Silver Fox,’ with a caliber of 20 millimeters. This was mainly due to considerations of fluid dynamics, opting not to use a larger caliber. It has a firing rate of 200 rounds per minute, and its range even reaches up to 6000 meters.

Most importantly, the bullets from this gun travel at speeds several times that of traditional firearms, making its destructive power more than ten times that of an average gun.”

Upon hearing that the range reached 6000 meters, everyone present showed expressions of astonishment.

They had already expected impressive capabilities from the Gauss Rifle, but didn’t anticipate its overwhelming efficacy.

Its extended range completely surpasses other firearms, achieving an almost unbelievable distance.

Not to mention its destructive power is exceedingly formidable.
