Chen Yang, believing that his right hand could not be matched in strength, began to fully devote himself to the manufacture of weapons to avoid inhuman punishment.
Electromagnetic railgun energy conversion: electrical energy → magnetic energy → kinetic energy.
To increase the power of the projectile, it couldn't be a toy-like item. First, the voltage needed to be increased, which had a significant impact on the range and must be taken seriously.
However, what puzzled Chen Yang was that with the current conventional equipment, it was impossible to manufacture the electromagnetic rifle designed in the blueprint. The first reason was the power supply issue.
Capacitors that could provide sufficient voltage and current were generally quite large and could not be miniaturized to fit into a rifle. Chen Yang raised this issue.
The right hand answered straightforwardly. It operated the cylinder, which split open, revealing a small object about the size of an eraser, which glowed as it was picked up by a tentacle.
"This is a fusion battery. It has about 15% energy left, but it should last for several decades."
Chen Yang was so frightened by this that his legs trembled and he broke out in a cold sweat, too scared to use his left hand to take it.
"Idiot, what are you afraid of? I'm not afraid, so why should you be!"
After a slight punishment, Chen Yang obediently took the battery with his left hand.
Alright, with the fusion battery, the power supply issue was resolved. Chen Yang and his right hand then began to collaborate on the next step.
It was clear that manufacturing this outdated weapon was also the first time for the right hand. It did not rush to manufacture it but studied it slowly.
After all, parts could be formed in one go, but whether various metal materials were suitable for the weapon still needed to be verified.
The right hand controlled the cylinder to smelt metal parts, while several tentacles organized items and helped Chen Yang study bullet materials, friction factors, bullet length and shape, coil turns, etc.
Although a 3D model had been drawn, strictly following it was impractical. In the process of continuous corrections, Chen Yang simply lay on the ground, picked up a compass, blueprint, tape measure, ruler, and pen, and drew and modified on a white sheet of paper.
The knowledge he learned in college had not been completely forgotten over the past two years. Under the guidance and corrections of the right hand, the design of the electromagnetic rifle became increasingly perfect.
Later, after a brief calculation, Chen Yang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. The voltage provided by the fusion battery could be high or low, but even at a moderate level, it was over 1KV. The electromagnetic rifle manufactured this way would have a projectile kinetic energy exceeding 4000J, which could destroy anything in its path!
The kinetic energy required to incapacitate a person is 78.5J, and the kinetic energy of a typical handgun bullet is between 200J and 800J. Even for an anti-material sniper rifle, the bullet kinetic energy only starts from 3500J.
In other words, using a steel-core bullet, it could penetrate over 20 millimeters of steel plate at a distance of one kilometer!
What kind of terrifying weapon was the right hand trying to create?
Chen Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. If this thing were really manufactured successfully, he would probably be arrested and sentenced to life in prison.
Although the power was great, there was still a problem: such high voltage and current would burn out the coil upon firing, making it impossible for regular use.
It seemed that the control switch had to be done well.
While Chen Yang was thinking, the right hand had already completed the manufacture of the outer shell and parts and began assembly and debugging. This process was very complicated and could not be compared to the toy electromagnetic railguns that could be assembled without regard for space. After a while, Chen Yang was hungry.
Looking at the time, it was already nearly 1:15 PM.
"Host, immediately eat to replenish energy."
The right hand's command made Chen Yang sigh with relief. He was so hungry that the feeling of an empty stomach was driving him crazy.
"So hungry, so hungry..."
The right hand, parasitizing in Chen Yang's body, also obtained energy from him. Thinking about it, even fertilizer couldn't last long, let alone a human body.
Putting down his work, Chen Yang quickly returned home. However, he was disappointed when he realized that the rice bag at home was already empty and he hadn't had time to buy more.
There was no choice but to go out for a meal.
Just thinking about the amount of RMB he would have to spend on a meal, Chen Yang's face turned grim.
A man is iron, and food is steel; missing a meal makes one hungry. With a parasite in his body, Chen Yang could only sigh as he walked out of the alley.
Now, due to the right hand's strict regulations, each step could neither be too long nor too short; it had to be the same as the previous step, or he would be punished. Thanks to his strong body, this way of walking didn't require much effort.
It was around 1:30 PM, and the number of people eating was clearly decreasing. Chen Yang randomly chose a restaurant. Under the surprised gaze of the owner, he looked at the menu and ordered eight dishes.
Eight dishes, which a normal person would definitely not finish, left Chen Yang feeling only slightly full after devouring them. To avoid shocking the people around him, he reluctantly stopped his ravenous eating and chose to pay.
However, the owner's trembling hands when giving change clearly showed that he was shocked by this man's appetite. The owner was even considering whether to call an ambulance.
Fortunately, Chen Yang's normal payment behavior made the owner sigh with relief, avoiding any trouble for his shop.
Leaving the restaurant, Chen Yang chose another one and continued eating. He repeated this process at three restaurants before finally feeling full.
Feeling the wallet in his pocket, Chen Yang wanted to curse. Damn it, just one lunch cost nearly 400 RMB. How could he live like this?
"Host, go to the park now."
The right hand, which had been silent for over an hour, suddenly issued a command.
"Park?"
Why go to the park?
Chen Yang was slightly puzzled. Wasn't he supposed to return to the basement to continue his work?
Turning his steps, Chen Yang still followed the right hand's command and headed to the park, which was the familiar Dongjiao Park.
It was around 1:30 PM, the hottest time of the summer day. The scorching sun was mercilessly emitting light and heat, forcing people to return to their homes in curses. Even though Dongjiao Park had many trees and excellent greenery, the number of people coming here under such a scorching sun was not many.
Chen Yang entered the park, stood still, and perked up his ears, waiting for the right hand's next instructions.
"Continue walking along the road."
Walking along the road?
Chen Yang became increasingly puzzled but, not daring to ask more, followed the right hand's instructions and walked straight along the road.
The trees provided shade, and the birds sang, making Chen Yang feel more relaxed as he walked under the trees.
Ah, the future is still beautiful, and life is still colorful.
Chen Yang felt invigorated.
However, he couldn't keep smiling for long.
"Screw, Screw Commander, what did you say?"
Chen Yang was a bit incredulous.
"Host, do you see the two people sitting on the bench ahead? I require you to provoke them."
Indeed, there were two people sitting on the bench ahead, a man and a woman, with the woman leaning against the man, clearly a couple.
"W-Why do I have to provoke them?"
Faced with this command, Chen Yang was confused and couldn't help but ask.
Had the man somehow offended the right hand?
Chen Yang's question did not provoke the right hand's punishment this time. Instead, it explained to him: "Although your body has been enhanced, you have no practical combat experience. When facing other humans, you will be at a disadvantage, so I need to train your practical combat experience."
Chen Yang was surprised and even a bit admiring.
What a lousy reason!
Is practical combat experience gained this way?
Don't think that just because you're an alien, I can't look down on you!
A sharp pain flashed through Chen Yang's mind, and he couldn't help but groan, falling to his knees, drenched in sweat.
The right hand found it troublesome. In its previous travels, it had parasitized other creatures, but none were as disobedient as humans.
It disliked disobedient creatures, and the right hand decided to find some time to study how to effectively control humans.
