Chapter 1115 - Cyclotron
1115 Cyclotron
Ayesha and Xia Shiyu were quiet and reserved, but Natasha was the complete opposite. Her voice and action reflected her Slav origins.
Passionate and unrestrained…
However, the four lived together harmoniously. Everyone did their best to accommodate each other’s habits, and everyone did everything they could to not interfere with others.
The only fly in the ointment was that every night, the competition for the “ownership” of Jiang Chen was fierce.
Before Natasha arrived, there was a timetable arranged to determine who would “serve the bed”, and even Jiang Chen didn’t have much influence on the decision.
However, the arrival of Natasha broke the balance. The fiery Russian girl not only ruin the “rules of the game” agreed upon by Ayesha and Xia Shiyu but even put up a “refusal to negotiate” stance.
“Timetable? What is the use of that?” When Xia Shiyu and Ayesha asked about her schedule, Natasha refused right away, and said without thinking, “The person who he sleeps with is his freedom. How can you use a timetable and ignore his wishes? If you’re not willing, take him away from me with your charm.”
It was fine if she just expressed her opinion, but she was also holding Jiang Chen’s arm and provoking the two girls by straightening her back, exposing the Mount Everest in front of her chest.
Against the invincible size, even Ayesha who never felt any jealousy felt frustrated and began to pout.
As for Xia Shiyu, the vinegar jar was completely knocked over and she remained standoffish for several days…
Well, in fact, Jiang Chen thought he was quite easy-going in this aspect. He didn’t disagree with the timetable, or rather, he supported decisions that promoted harmony and stability within the family.
But at the time he didn’t say anything.
Honestly, it did give him spiritual satisfaction to see the people he loved show jealousy because of him.
It was fortunate for him that the three girls didn’t turn against each other because of “unequal distribution”. Other than at night, they spent time together quite harmoniously. However, he clearly felt that they began to compete in on particular aspect.
For example, Ayesha began to favor just wearing loose pajamas while walking around in the mansion with her legs exposed and Natasha even began treating bikinis as her casual wear at home.
Even Xia Shiyu joined the movement to save “clothes” while gnashing her teeth and blushing.
Jiang Chen didn’t know how he should feel about this.
While he was the ultimate “beneficiary”, and the appearance and body of the three women were all stunning, nowadays, he felt uncomfortable being home. Even with the genetic vaccine, he began to feel that his body couldn’t handle this anymore.
When he subtly hinted this to Ayesha, the girl nodded and expressed that she would help him.
However, Jiang Chen did not see any change at home.
The only thing that changed was the cuisines on the table.
On top of the original menu, a pot of delicious turtle soup was added… (1)
…
Time was like clockwork, and July passed very quickly.
Perhaps the microwave weapon left an impressive impression on the pilots of the fighters on the aircraft carrier, the UA aircraft carrier battle group did not conduct any drastic exercises since it entered the Guam military base. Every day, the F-35s took off from the military base, but the route all avoided the air defense identification zone of Xin without exception.
Obviously, the UA didn’t want to cause more misunderstandings during this critical period.
On the other hand, the UA had resorted to its usual tactics, military high-profile actions combined with diplomatic offensives. Secretary of State Kerry frequently visited Asian countries, ostensibly to strengthen economic and trade cooperation, but in fact, was pointing to Xin and planning to blockade the Global Grid Plan.
Xia Shiyu was extremely stressed over this matter.
Although the irreplaceability of Celestial Trade’s product made it impossible for UA companies to take over, the UA diplomatic approach played a significant role and caused the expansion of the Global Grid Plan in West Asia and South American to almost completely stagnate.
However, Jiang Chen was not in a hurry. He could allow Kerry to create some chaos in Asia first. By the time the 2019 Asia-Pacific military exercise began, he prepared plenty of ways for UA to lose its face.
The Ange High-Tech Industrial Park, an industrial park that condensed the cutting-edge technology of the entire Xin, had more than doubled its size compared to six months ago.
Since Future Military became independent of Future Heavy Industries, CEO Ling Tao built new factories with the budget approved by the headquarters. They built a lab dedicated to weapon development upon Jiang Chen’s request.
At the moment, a giant turret, about 25 meters long and about 12 meters wide, was placed in an empty lab warehouse. The shape of the turret looked like a giant pot. The pot handle was embedded in the pot from the middle and flipped over on the ground.
Since the barrel was too heavy, it must be suspended by a mechanical arm on the ceiling.
From the huge volume, it was easy to guess the use of this weapon.
Other than the starships that flew in the air, it seemed that no warship could carry this massive turret.
Outside the protective glass of the warehouse, Ling Tao showed and explained to Jiang Chen the latest masterpieces of Future Military.
“Sirius X-1, a cyclotron-type electromagnetic pulse cannon prototype. The projectiles are launched in two acceleration stages. The first stage of acceleration is completed on the double circular magnetic tracks in the turret, while the barrel begins to charge. After the first stage of acceleration, the maximum speed of the projectile, in theory, can reach Mach 40. After entering the barrel, the projectile starts to accelerate at the second stage, and the theoretical exit speed can reach Mach 67, which is more than 35% of the third cosmic speed!”
Ling Tao showed heartfelt pride.
Since a year ago, scientists in Future Military began to study the cyclotron. After countless days and nights of experiments, they finally made a breakthrough, as they raised the speed of the electromagnetic pulse cannon by an order of magnitude. It was no exaggeration to say that this electromagnetic pulse cannon was the masterpiece of Future Military.
Different from the war in a traditional sense.
In the war within the stellar system, two crucial issues must be considered, namely the speed of gravity and relative motion.
Different tracks corresponded to different surrounding speeds. If the spaceship on track A wanted to hit the spaceship on track B, it was not as simple as aiming at the target. If the speed of the bullet was not fast enough, it may fly away and become a meteorite in the solar system or even a satellite of a certain planet.
In actual combat, even if the speed exceeded the third cosmic speed, it was not enough.
However, Earth civilization finally gained a fighting chance against the threat outside of the solar system. It was no longer helpless.
