"Plasma...cannon?"

Cao Liangcai stared blankly at the huge cannon muzzle in the holographic projection.

"Professor, first of all, what are the dimensions of this thing?" he swallowed hard and asked with difficulty.

"Size?" Lü Yongchang shrugged and reached out to operate the holographic projection again.

"...A cannon with a diameter of one hundred meters?!" Cao Liangcai's face contorted in shock as he exclaimed, "Are you fucking kidding me?!"

He realized the problem as soon as he said it.

He chuckled awkwardly and apologized to Lü Yongchang, "Uh, Professor, that's not what I meant."

As for Tao Yuda, who was standing to the side, he had a similar reaction, but he suppressed the urge to swear.

Lu Yongchang, on the other hand, watched their reactions with a smile.

To be honest, he wasn't surprised by this reaction.

He had the same reaction when he saw this extremely violent weapon in the tech tree system.

"This isn't a cannon at all!"

"It's practically a miniature starship!"

Tao Yuda muttered to himself, "Its size is almost as big as the second Xuan Nu, isn't it?"

“More than that.” Cao Liangcai looked at the dimensions and quickly did some mental calculations. “It far exceeds the size of the Xuan Nu No. 2.”

Lu Yongchang raised an eyebrow: "Hey! How did you know I designed a starship for this cannon?"

Tao Yuda: "???"

Cao Liangcai: "?!!"

What earth-shattering and awe-inspiring statement?

A starship was designed specifically for a cannon?

Before the two could react, Lü Yongchang reached out and swiped the holographic image in front of him.

A 3D simulation of a new type of warship appeared in the holographic image.

The starship is slender and cylindrical, about 500 meters long and about 150 meters in diameter.

Compared to other starships, it is considered miniature.

But compared to other weapons, it is truly the elder brother!

Tao Yuda and his companion quickly focused their attention on the bow of the starship.

The cannon muzzle, with a diameter of 100 meters, almost completely occupied the head space of the starship.

"I named it the 'Battle Ram'."

"As the name suggests," Lü Yongchang said excitedly, "its main function is to violently break through the enemy's secondary flagship and flagship's magnetic field shield or plasma shield."

"The principle behind cracking it is very simple."

"With extremely powerful instantaneous output power, the enemy ship's shield generation device was quickly overloaded."

Therefore, the entire starship has only one weapon: the plasma cannon.

"The remaining components, apart from the starship's hull, are probably just the large fusion reactor and the Hall thruster nozzles."

At this point, Lü Yongchang shook his head with some regret: "Unfortunately, according to Zero's simulation tests, this starship will most likely only have one chance to launch an attack in actual combat, so it can only be controlled by Zero."

Tao Yuda stared at the starship in the picture, its proportions severely distorted, and his mouth twitched wildly.

This can be called designing a starship?

Perhaps we should try a different way of describing it.

We ingeniously equipped the cannon with an engine, enabling it to fly freely in space.

This statement might be more appropriate!

Tao Yuda mentally ranted about Lü Yongchang's actions.

"so."

"How does this plasma cannon work?" Tao Yuda took a deep breath and changed the subject. "Is it still a plasma bomb?"

"Of course not!" As if sensing that he was being questioned, Lü Yongchang's tone of voice rose noticeably.

"What a joke! I didn't build this huge thing just to launch a few pitifully weak plasma bombs!"

Seeing the puzzled looks on Cao Liangcai and Tao Yuda's faces, Lü Yongchang softened his tone and began to explain.

"Cannon."

"The ratio of barrel length to caliber is large; overall, its barrel is thin and long."

Upon hearing this, Cao Liangcai and Tao Yuda's expressions immediately turned strange.

Both of them turned their gaze to the holographic screen in front of them.

You call a cannon barrel with a diameter of 100 meters "thin"?

Furthermore, they didn't even see how long the so-called cannon barrel was!

"Professor, this cannon barrel isn't what you described," Cao Liangcai said awkwardly. "Are you... mistaken?"

Cao Liangcai's questioning only increased the excitement on Lü Yongchang's face!

He waved his hand dramatically!

"Who says cannon barrels aren't long?!"

The holographic images switch instantly.

"The entire barrel is composed of a continuous magnetic field."

"The total length can reach over one hundred kilometers!"

"What you see is merely the base of the cannon."

I'm numb.

Cao Liangcai and Tao Yuda said they were completely numb.

What kind of wildly imaginative idea is this?!

Lu Yongchang clearly didn't give the two any time to process their words and continued his introduction.

"Plasma cannon, as the name suggests, uses highly powerful plasma as ammunition, which is a high-temperature plasma stream."

"The gun barrel, which is made of magnetic field, can effectively confine these plasma streams and even provide them with a continuous acceleration, making them faster when they leave the barrel."

As they spoke, the holographic projection changed again.

A semi-transparent cannon barrel extends outwards from the gun emplacement.

In the blink of an eye, the so-called cannon barrel reached a length of one hundred kilometers.

In comparison, the turret at the breech of the cannon has become a tiny black dot.
