Electromagnetic Weapons

For seven days, Bai Ge focused on three things.

Training, studying, and crafting tools.

His studies were ongoing; the path was long. After finishing online courses, he still had knowledge stored through physical means, which would be even harder to acquire.

The training results were even more remarkable. In just seven days, Bai Ge's punching power finally reached five hundred kilograms, equivalent to Thousand Jin Strength.

The growth rate increased significantly as he progressed.

However, before his physical attributes became truly monstrous, Bai Ge still couldn't withstand bullets.

While his durability was also increasing at an unreasonable rate, bullets packed too much power. He might not die from a single shot, but he would still get injured like an ordinary person.

America didn't ban guns, and he was unfamiliar with the place. Bai Ge decided to build the electromagnetic cannon first.

There were scattered containment items there as well. Each city had only one red dot.

After making the trip, besides seeing his sister and finding a supercomputer, containment items were also a target.

Bai Ge wasn't foolish enough to blindly trust his body right now. When necessary, he should have some lethal weapons as a trump card.

Now that he mastered magnetism, electromagnetic rail weapons became his most cost-effective choice.

Bai Ge crafted two types. One was for Shao Yuan.

It was a normal electromagnetic rifle, detachable and easy to assemble, consisting only of the power source, accelerator, and switch.

Accelerated through a long barrel, its maximum kinetic energy was enough to penetrate the walls of an ordinary house.

Its power wasn't immense, but it was far stronger than a regular rifle.

The bullets were solid projectiles. Coupled with the high accuracy and zero recoil of electromagnetic weapons, it was perfect for someone like Shao Yuan, who had never handled a gun.

However, it consumed a lot of energy. Firing ten shots would often drain the battery, requiring at least ten hours of charging afterward, making it unsuitable for prolonged combat.

As for Bai Ge, he used his own specialized electromagnetic cannon.

It was also a handheld cannon. Though called a cannon, it was very small, only palm-sized, and looked like a hairdryer.

Bai Ge didn't need a cannon barrel accelerator; he himself was the accelerator.

The handheld cannon gave the metal projectile some initial velocity, which was then accelerated within Bai Ge's magnetic field. The cost was greatly reduced, and the energy consumption was less than one-tenth of a true electromagnetic cannon, as he could freely control the magnetic field.

The longer the acceleration track, the faster the projectile and the greater its power.

If accelerated for one hundred meters, its power would be equivalent to a 1-ton car colliding at 160 kilometers per hour.

And with the extension of the acceleration channel, for example, reaching two thousand meters, it could reach Mach 5, capable of sinking warships.

Therefore, the best place to use this weapon was actually the open sea. In cities, there wasn't enough depth for Bai Ge to establish a two-thousand-meter acceleration track.

Of course, if he increased the magnetic force, accelerating for just one hundred meters could reach Mach 5, but the energy consumption would be too high.

In just seven days, Bai Ge had the Bell complete all the work.

He took the components out of his "brain hole" and assembled them himself in the workshop.

Two electromagnetic rifles, two electromagnetic cannons. Twenty rifle bullets, twenty cannon shells.

Holding these weapons, he found Shao Yuan, who was engrossed in his research and couldn't pull himself away.

Shao Yuan's research wasn't as fast as Bai Ge's.

Bai Ge possessed various technologies; his task was simply to implement them.

Shao Yuan had made almost no progress in seven days, only becoming more proficient in using the ring.

"It's time to go. Pack these things up. We won't be back for a long time," Bai Ge said.

Shao Yuan sighed, "Sigh, virus mutations are indeed rare opportunities."

He quickly packed away the instruments and locked the petri dishes in the greenhouse.

After finishing, Bai Ge disassembled the electromagnetic rifle and handed it to him.

"What's this?"

Bai Ge replied, "An electromagnetic rifle. Its power is slightly greater than bullets, and it has no recoil. You can try it."

"What? Electromagnetic weapon?" Shao Yuan was shocked. This was too advanced for him.

"It's nothing. Such low-power, individual electromagnetic weapons can actually be produced in our country, but the damage is severe, and their sustained combat capability in actual combat is poor, so they aren't developing them for individual weaponry," Bai Ge said.

"Why did you make this? Can it be used domestically?" Shao Yuan asked.

Bai Ge smiled, "We're a containment team. Fighting barehanded domestically is fine, but going abroad, we're a bit stretched... This is for your self-defense. Didn't you always say you couldn't help much? If you encounter trouble in the future, you'll at least have the confidence to fight back. The most important thing is its cost-effectiveness. Whether we make it sooner or later, we have to make it, so it's better to prepare now and avoid making it last minute."

Shao Yuan nodded and fiddled with it, not quite understanding.

Bai Ge guided him step-by-step on how to assemble it. The process was simple, with only three main parts that just snapped together.

Afterward, Shao Yuan tested the rifle on Bai Ge's steel cabin.

"Bang!"

The projectile shot out and instantly embedded itself in the steel plate. Because the steel plate Bai Ge bought was too thick, the projectile got stuck about two centimeters deep.

However, even with this power, it was already quite formidable.

Heavy echoes reverberated through the factory, the steel structure humming.

"What immense power!"

After learning how to use it, Shao Yuan chuckled, "This is so convenient. I can't believe you made this. God, if electromagnetic guns were this easy to make, who would buy guns? They'd just make their own!"

Bai Ge curled his lip. "Most people can't make something like this. The material requirements alone mean it can't be mass-produced by hand. A tech nerd making an electromagnetic weapon that can pierce a steel plate is already impressive. Mine can pierce two centimeters of steel, forty centimeters of brick wall, and a seventy-centimeter diameter tree trunk."

Shao Yuan marveled. After asking for more details, he said, "It's a shame it only holds ten shots. It needs to be recharged after use. If I ever get into serious trouble and need this gun, I don't think ten bullets will solve the problem."

Bai Ge shrugged. "I bought lead-acid batteries from the hardware store. They're the highest capacity I could find for small batteries. All the materials are commercially available, so this is as good as it gets... How about this, I'll give you a spare 'battery'."

As he spoke, Bai Ge pulled a strand of hair from his pocket. It must have fallen out during his training due to some vigorous movement.

He handed the hair to Shao Yuan. "Keep this hair safe. Charge it regularly. When the time comes, if your battery runs out, you can use this to power it. Just wrap the terminals around this hair and adjust the voltage regulator like this. Remember, charge it whenever you can! Every hour you charge it will give you one shot!"

Shao Yuan didn't understand a word of what Bai Ge said.

He stared at Bai Ge and the item Bai Ge handed him, his expression incredibly strange.

"Uh... you're giving me a hair?"

Bai Ge said with utmost seriousness, "Trust me, this hair is one of the best batteries in the world!"

Shao Yuan took Bai Ge's hair, a wry smile on his face. "Are you sure you're not messing with me? Suppose I'm in a shootout, and at a critical moment, I pull out this hair to power up, and it does absolutely nothing, I'd die with regrets!"

"Haha, don't worry. Remember to store it properly when not in use, wrap it in insulating material, don't let it touch the ground, and don't get it wet. Just treat it like a rather fragile battery, and you'll be fine!" Bai Ge said.

Seeing how serious Bai Ge was, Shao Yuan asked, "What's going on? Is your hair really that powerful? Is your hair a containment item?"

Bai Ge chuckled. "You should remember that after I threw the ring into the yard, the containment item map showed two red dots."

"Right, one was Han Rui, and the other was the ring. Since Han Rui's body was infected by the ring's anomalous effect, he was also counted as a supernatural entity," Shao Yuan said.

Then, Shao Yuan suddenly understood. "Is it the same for you? Were you infected by your own containment item? Is your current body actually similar to mine? I have a post-childbearing effect. What about you? A battery constitution?"

Bai Ge replied, "You can think of it as a battery constitution. In short, not a single cell in my body belongs to an ordinary human. Hair is my keratinized cells, so it also possesses anomalous effects. I specifically tested this gun with myself as the battery, and it works."

Shao Yuan laughed. "No wonder you've been training so hard. Right, I remember now. Last time you came to my clinic, you mentioned something about 'Human Body Charging.' So you already got a containment item back then!"

"Then why aren't you giving me more hair? One strand isn't enough!"

As he spoke, Shao Yuan reached out to pull Bai Ge's hair.

Bai Ge slapped Shao Yuan's hand away violently and said angrily, "Don't touch my hair! This thing is for charging you. What good is it if it doesn't have any electricity in it?"

"If you want hair, pick it up from the ground later! Don't take it from my head!"
