Immortal Road.

Chapter 355: Extraterritorial Civilization, Military Base

"Sigh~"

"Miniature electromagnetic railgun!"

"Is this the interstellar short-range close combat weapon of the future from the science fiction movies of the past life?"

Lin Shan stroked the sixteen-barreled turret, which was less than 10 meters long, and was so excited that he could not express it in words.

As a former serious engineering student, who could resist the sci-fi weapons in front of me!
Especially, the range is 500 kilometers!

In this world of cultivation, even if general basic science cannot be applied, the rules of heaven and earth will partially suppress it. 500 kilometers is not a requirement, but 100 kilometers can always be achieved!

In order to ensure the accuracy, reliability, safety and expected power of target strikes, the distance is compressed to tens of kilometers, which is also an incredible distance!

What is the attack range of the Jindan stage?

One mile!
Yuanying stage attack range?
Ten miles!

And a mere technological weapon can reach a range of thousands of miles. In this world of cultivation, isn't that a crushing range?
There is a saying that goes, the truth is within cannon range!

With this thing, when I meet an enemy next time, with the help of the virtual star disk's long-distance tracking, wouldn't I be able to fire a cannon at the enemy from a long distance?
Thinking of this, Lin Shan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

In the eyes of the three evil brothers, that smile was truly sinister and perverted, and it frightened them all.

Although they have no idea why the boss laughs so creepily
"However, in order to use this thing, I'm still missing two things."

Lin Shan pondered over it and began to feel a little troubled.

Specially supplied power generation equipment and ammunition.

Both are indispensable!

Electromagnetic rail guns, generally speaking, even the smallest ones are hundreds of meters long. Mine is less than ten meters long. The reinforcement panel says it is a miniature light rail gun, which is not wrong.

After all, the interstellar battles in our memory often involve ultra-long-range combat, measured in tens of thousands of kilometers. The longer the electromagnetic orbit, the greater the kinetic energy during the natural launch.

My miniature cannon is only suitable to be installed next to the base and used as a small defensive counterattack turret.

But even so, special power generation equipment is needed!

The electrical energy required is related to factors such as the mass of the shells, the firing speed, and the length of the gun barrel.

Lin Shan began to use his memories from his past life and roughly calculated the data in his mind:
"Assume that the required shell mass is 22.7 kg, the launch speed is 2.5 Mach, and the barrel length is 10 meters. According to the formula P=Fv, the electrical energy is converted into kinetic energy E=（1/2）mv^2, that is, E=（1/2）*22.7kg*(2.5*340m/s)^2≈8289.23kJ. If the barrel resistance and the efficiency of the driving power supply are added, it will roughly require tens of millions of joules!"

"Generally, this kind of special power generation equipment is most convenient to use a pulse generator or a superconducting generator. Of course, traditional power generation equipment or battery packs are also possible."

"But the problem is, I don't know how to make it!"

The electromagnetic railgun's power generation equipment and weapon system are separate.

The power generation equipment is responsible for generating electrical energy, and the weapon system uses electrical energy to accelerate the shells. Without strong logistics, it would be impossible to do this!

"I also have a thunder spirit root, although it's only level C. How about giving it a try?"

Lin Shan suddenly had an idea: could he be the generator?
He used the magic power in his body to convert it into lightning and tried to activate it.

What I didn't expect was.
"vu~vu~vu~vu~"

The turret was directly activated, a huge magnetic field surrounded it, and the muzzle emitted a dazzling white light, exactly the same as when it was activated by the automatic countermeasure system just now!
“It’s really feasible!”

The three evil spirit brothers next to them didn't understand the principle behind it. They were trembling with fear and their awe of Lin Shan became stronger.

The boss is so awesome that he can even control the weapons of the evil demons from outer space!

Lin Shan frowned at this time, because this artillery could fire twenty-four times in a row, so the electricity consumption he had estimated before was far more than that, and would have to be multiplied many times.

The key point is that it would consume one tenth of my mana just to activate it once. Doesn't that mean that with my current total mana, it is only enough to fire this electromagnetic railgun ten times?

Ordinary multiple-mounted artillery fires in quantity and rate of fire, with thousands or even tens of thousands of shells per minute, using dense dot-matrix pattern fire as anti-aircraft firepower.

I can only fire ten shots, which is just a drop in the bucket!
Even if there are reed stalactites, they should not be consumed like this!

"We still have to find a way from the power generation equipment!"

Lin Shan can only hope to find power generation equipment on the way forward. He doesn't know if many things will survive after tens of thousands of years. Based on previous alarms and emergency mechanisms, there might really be power generation equipment inside.

Just cannonballs.
He had given up hope altogether.

If there really was a shell, it would have been fired just now, and there would be no bluff to scare me twice.

As for when he returns, he will ask the weapon master, Lord Black Skull, to make it for him.
Lin Shan had no hope at all.

The body of the electromagnetic railgun shells needs to be made of high-strength materials that are resistant to pressure and high temperatures, which is not difficult; the warhead needs to have high density and high hardness, which can also be replaced by other spiritual materials in the world of cultivation; the fuse needs reliability and precision, which cannot be controlled at all after the spiritual consciousness leaves its own locking range.

So the precision guidance system, this is the key!
But this is the world of cultivation, and it is still unknown whether the navigation system, stabilization system, and attitude control system can be used, and whether they are restricted by the rules of heaven and earth.

Idealism and materialism, these are two different concepts! Sometimes it is just a matter of one thought, and the boundary has always been blurred from ancient times to the present!
"It seems that cultivating immortals through technology is unlikely to work in this world."

"I had such a beautiful thought before. The universe and the earth are in conflict with each other."

"That side is vast and boundless, while this side is blessed with natural beauty. One focuses on quantity while the other focuses on quality. Technological civilization and immortal civilization are on completely different paths."

"Since I have traveled here, I should focus on cultivating immortality instead of studying these messed up things."

"He can achieve immortality and live forever, isn't that great?"

"And judging from the level of civilization of this electromagnetic railgun, it doesn't seem to be very high, otherwise it wouldn't have been defeated and expelled by the powerful forces of this world back then."

"This is just one of the lower realms in the universe. The fairyland above the Nine Heavens is the real behemoth, the holy land of the immortals where dragons and snakes gather!"

"With this level of technology, let alone beings like the Emperor of Heaven and Buddha, in the eyes of ordinary immortals, I'm afraid it's not even worthy of carrying shoes!"

"But, the Andromeda spiral galaxy? It sounds familiar to me."

"Could it be the Andromeda observed by astronomers in the previous universe?"

Lin Shan put away the six artillery batteries and walked towards the passage inside. The three evil spirit brothers timidly explored the way in front of him.

Regardless of whether technological testing works or not, at least for the current low level, it can still provide a lot of help. It just depends on whether there is ready-made equipment for the supporting system.

The rules of this world favor immortal civilization and have severe restrictions on all aspects of technology. It is not cost-effective to cultivate immortality through technology, but it can be used as a means of passing time.

He has always been very determined to pursue the path of immortality, and it is impossible for him to be shaken by unorthodox practices. Therefore, he did not put too much effort into it, but just wanted to gain benefits.

See if you can find something that is useful to you.

Of course, if I could get some information, and return to my hometown in my previous life after I have mastered it, and solve the mystery of my time travel, that would be the best.

This passage is a downward runway from the outside to the inside.

After walking about two miles, the view in front of us suddenly opened up and there was another hall.

"Sir, come and take a look."

The stuttering voices of the three evil spirit brothers came from the front. Lin Shan had just walked out of the passage, and before he could take the next step, he was suddenly startled by the flashing red alarm light in the hall.

"Buzz~Buzz~An unknown spirit mist-like life form was discovered approaching the base~"

"Please stop moving forward immediately, otherwise."

"It's so noisy!"

A flash of sword light passed by, and the electronic eye in front that was shining was shattered. Then the sound in the hall went silent, the red alarm stopped flashing, and no defensive turrets appeared this time.

Lin Shan instinctively felt something was wrong. He looked around and saw that the mountain walls were smooth and empty, as if they had been emptied.

A large alloy door stood in front of us, standing there quietly.

It doesn't seem like the previous outermost door, which has been connected to the outside world for tens of thousands of years, has been covered, buried, and severely eroded.

The door had a dull white sheen and did not appear to be too badly corroded.

There is also an electronic lock on the door, which seems to be used for swiping a card.

When he approached, there was an automatic, emotionless reminder:
"Please show your access pass."

Lin Shan looked at the card swiping position, which was more than one meter above his head, which was totally out of reach for him.

I think the Zeno civilization in Andromeda, the evil demons from outer space, or alien races, are mostly over three meters tall, and I don't know what their race is.

He didn't have any pass, so he didn't need to care and just broke in with force.

But this time it will be a bit more difficult!

Even when he used the totem pole, which was comparable to a top-level magic weapon, and the Nascent Soul beast bone, he was still unable to break it with one strike.

It took more than ten hits to finally destroy it.

Inside is another long passage that leads deep underground.

The door we encountered this time was newer than the previous two. It was silver-white in color and had a fingerprint lock authentication system.

Breaking in by force is much more difficult.

This time he not only took out the Nascent Soul Beast Bone, he even took out the Ming Snake Tushita Flag. Ten Jindan Stage summoned snakes, together with the three evil spirit brothers, broke down the door.

The area behind the gate is getting wider, the runway is being built more upscale, and there are even neatly lined street lights on both sides.

However, due to years of disrepair, most of them had no reaction at all, except for a few that occasionally lit up automatically when sensing the arrival of life, and a few that "hissed" and emitted a few sparks.

"Iris scan, iris authentication failed, suspected to be a human from the Immortal World, or a humanoid species from the Virgo Supernova Cluster"

"Oh!"

The door was incredibly hard and its entire body was bright silver in color. No matter how he attacked, it was useless.

Finally, he used up the sect's magical power, "Thunder Storm", and drank the Reed Jade Stalactite several times to continuously restore his magic power, and finally he smashed it to pieces!
This time it’s finally over!
As soon as the door was broken, a dusty smell came from inside.

A gust of wind blew by, carrying with it a hint of war smoke, telling of the past events.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

One light after another came on, spreading like dominoes to different branches, finally illuminating the entire view.

This is a huge square covering tens of thousands of acres, and only one-third of the lights on the ceiling are on.

The walls below and around were all covered with dark brown bloodstains and potholes.

The square was full of broken walls and ruins, the bodies had long since weathered away, leaving only piles of bones, as well as various damaged machines and debris all over the ground.

This tragic scene, seen more than 100,000 years ago, makes it easy to imagine that an unknown and shocking war must have taken place here!

Among those corpses, in addition to the skeletons of various monsters, the rest are all burly oval-shaped vertebrate creatures over three meters tall, and their appearance is somewhat similar to that of a toad.

It is very likely the evil demon from outer space that invaded this time.

The builder of this military base.

Unidentified extraterrestrial intelligent creatures from the Zeta civilization in the spiral galaxy NGC5053 in Andromeda.

They didn't know how they got through the void of the outside world, targeted and invaded this world of cultivation, and finally suffered defeat and became a thing of the past.

Judging from the size of this place today, it should have been one of their supply bases of varying sizes.

However, it was suddenly attacked by the demon army and eventually fell.

However, Lin Shan stood at the main entrance and looked down at the panoramic view below.

I discovered that this military base had more than one entrance and exit, there were two more, one on the left and one on the right.

And these two gates had already been broken.

From the reconstruction of the battle situation on the ground, it seems that the demon army broke into the city from the right side, and the garrison of the alien invading civilization fought desperately, and finally evacuated from the left side gate. The demon army did not linger, but followed and chased them out from the left side gate.

Later on, for some unknown reason, no one came back to collect the bodies, and the place remained silent for countless years.

Lin Shan analyzed what he saw and heard along the way, compared it with the relics on site, and his experience from his previous life.

The alien civilization's resistance was calm and composed, as if they had prepared for evacuation in advance. Many key equipment had already been moved away, and most personnel had also been evacuated. It is estimated that many confidential documents had either been taken away or destroyed.

The demon army probably just happened to be the last one to arrive and caught up with the trailing tail.

However, due to the number and quality of the two sides, it is still a very rare war in the current cultivation world, and the scale is quite large.

The three evil brothers were so shocked when they saw this scene, and then they reacted and screamed.

"Sir, this is the ruins of the outer demons. No one has visited here. We got there first. Why don't we search for you first? What do you think?"

Lin Shan put his hands behind his back and nodded.

"Go!"

The three evil spirit brothers were eager to show their worth, so they quickly flew out to search for things for him, hoping to prove that they were still somewhat useful.

He walked slowly along the circular corridor above the platform, observing all parts of the ruins square.

Anyway, you are here now, and the things inside are yours, you can’t run away.

There was no need to worry about the few remaining fragments. He was actually very interested in the military base itself and where the other two exits led to.
