One week later.

Mars Spaceport.

Wilson stared with fervor at the enormous vessel outside the porthole.

That was the Luan Bird Starship, which had undergone two modifications.

At the very front of the starship were the barrels of five electromagnetic coil cannons.

On the left and right sides, there are six laser generators with a radius of 9.5 meters.

As for the ion beam weapon, it was installed on the top of this Luan Bird Starship.

Although its appearance is somewhat ugly, the firepower of this Luan Bird Starship is beyond doubt. It is absolutely the most powerful weapon system that mankind currently possesses, without exception!

"Professor, how do you plan to test its power?"

Wilson rubbed his hands together excitedly and turned to ask with an expectant look on his face.

As the developer of two of the weapons... no, one and a half, Wilson was naturally full of anticipation for this weapon system test.

Lü Yongchang turned his head and gestured towards the other porthole: "Look, the test target is over there."

Wilson followed Lü Yongchang's gaze.

"..." He stared blankly at the so-called "test target".

A few seconds later, Wilson's exclamation echoed through the Mars spaceport.

"Professor Lü?"

"Are you sure you want to use a Luan Bird Type I starship as a target?!"

Outside the porthole, a slightly dilapidated Luan Bird starship, with several streaks of eerie blue flames shooting out from its stern, slowly sailed into the deep sky.

"certainly."

Lu Yongchang nodded noncommittally: "As the main weapon in the future, I must know its power exactly."

"Otherwise, we will suffer a great loss in future interstellar wars."

"Besides..." he chuckled self-deprecatingly, "We can't have all this hard work put into developing weapons that can't even cut through starships built a few years ago, can we?"

Wilson swallowed hard, staring at Lü Yongchang beside him with horror in his eyes.

Crazy, absolutely crazy!

Although the Luan Bird Type I starship is an "old starship" built a few years ago, it is still the main starship of human civilization at present!

"Stay calm, the new starship will be out soon."

"These old guys will eventually have to go through the process of being retrained."

At this point, Lü Yongchang looked down at the holographic image on the control panel.

3000 kilometers.

"Too close," Lü Yongchang said in a deep voice. "Increase the distance to kilometers!"

"receive."

The moment the words fell, the eerie blue flames at the stern of the old-looking Luan Bird Starship instantly increased in size.

Under Zero's control, the Luan Bird Starship resolutely sailed towards a location 50,000 kilometers away!

“Fifty thousand kilometers…Professor, isn’t that a bit too far?” Wilson said anxiously as he sat in his chair. “That’s already the maximum attack range for laser weapons and ion beam weapons.”

Lu Yongchang raised his head, his gaze fixed on the distant starry sky through the porthole.

"Not far."

...

"Ding-dong."

A crisp reminder sounded throughout the spaceport.

"The target starship has arrived at its destination and is ready to begin testing at any time."

Lü Yongchang's expression immediately became more serious.

He placed his hands on the control panel in front of him and stood up from his seat: "Zero, begin the test!"

Beside the spaceport, the modified Luan Bird starship slowly turned around.

For safety reasons, the entire experiment was remotely controlled from the ground up.

After all, no one knows whether those high-energy weapons will cause any accidents.

[Target locked...]

A line of Chinese characters appeared in the holographic image in front of Lü Yongchang.

The next moment, the Chinese characters quietly changed.

Target locked!

[High-energy pulsed laser array, activated!]

Six red "dots of light" instantly lit up on both wings of the starship!

That's a sign that the laser generator is starting to store energy!

The energy storage time is very short.

In less than a second, six thick red laser beams shot straight toward the Luan Bird Starship, 50,000 kilometers away!

Within a single second, the six laser generators each emitted 10 high-energy laser beams.

A total of 60 high-energy laser beams shot toward the target at the speed of light!

0.167 seconds later, the high-energy laser beam traveled 50,000 kilometers and slammed into the armor of the Luan Bird Starship!

laugh!!

In just a moment, a huge hole appeared where the laser shone!

The armor of the Luan Bird Starship has melted!

"What were the results?" Lü Yongchang asked in a deep voice.

The holographic projection unfolded again.

The footage captured by the camera was displayed in front of the two people.

On the Luan Bird Starship, 50,000 kilometers away, six circular holes have suddenly appeared!

“A penetrating wound…” Wilson murmured to himself, excitement gradually spreading across his face.

"It's a success! Professor, my laser weapon design is a success!"

A hint of excitement also shone in Lü Yongchang's eyes.

The power of high-energy laser weapons far exceeded his imagination!

"Zero, continue testing the ion beam weapon!" He took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and spoke.

"Received." Zero's voice was as calm as ever.

Unlike laser weapons, ion beam weapons cannot be seen with the naked eye, just as solar storms cannot be seen by humans.

But in the holographic image before us, inside the two small particle accelerators on top of the starship, countless heavy ions were being accelerated wildly by the magnetic field!

0.01 times the speed of light…

0.1 times the speed of light…

0.5 times the speed of light!

When the heavy ions reached 50% of the speed of light, they were sent into a narrow tube.
