Chapter 208: Shanghai Fantasy
The functions mentioned by Intelligence Zero are actually just a rough outline, and some auxiliary functions are not explained in such detail. For example, the automatic medical assistance capability: if someone gets injured during combat, the combat suit’s auxiliary system will analyze the injury and determine whether to activate the emergency medical kit.
The emergency medical kit contains a gene-based medicine used for first aid. This gene medicine is developed by Intelligence Zero through research into spiritual liquid.
Although its effectiveness is not as high as that of the spiritual liquid, it can be used without restriction, making it entirely suitable for emergency medical needs during combat.
Soon, after Intelligence Zero finished introducing the general functions and defense capabilities of the combat suit, it began to introduce the two types of weapons: “BOSS, for this ‘Dark Armor’, I have prepared two types of ranged weapons: an AR-type electromagnetic pistol and a TR-type electromagnetic assault rifle. The TR electromagnetic assault rifle also has two modes. When the energy is set to maximum, its firing rate slows down, but its power increases significantly, making it suitable for use as an electromagnetic sniper rifle.”
Electromagnetic guns, as the name suggests, use the thrust generated by a strong electromagnetic field to propel bullets at high speeds. This type of weapon is still in the research stage worldwide, and achieving it may take several more years.
Thus, the most critical issue with electromagnetic guns is solving the problem of electromagnetic energy. To generate a strong electromagnetic field for powerful thrust, solving the power supply issue is essential.
Although some leading countries have mastered electromagnetic technology, only the United States has applied it to weapon manufacturing, specifically with aircraft carriers equipped with electromagnetic catapults.
However, being able to use it proficiently on an aircraft carrier does not mean it can be scaled down to a firearm. Without sufficient power, an electromagnetic gun would be useless scrap metal.
