The Arrival of a Space-Based Weapon! Monkey Experiment
High-energy particle beams were very different from laser weapons.
They used charged particles moving at high speeds along curved paths to produce radiation, thereby generating high-energy particle beams.
Unlike laser weapons, which focused solely on power, this kind of weapon had the advantage of not needing to be very large.
A simple device was all it took to release a particle beam.
Tuosen wanted to create a lightweight yet powerful weapon.
But the other experts thought it was unrealistic to leap straight to researching high-energy particle beams when laser weapons had yet to be put into use.
That was why the two sides had gotten into a heated argument.
Chen Feng didn't understand much of it, but he grasped the crux of the matter.
He looked at the enormous device before him. It was the laser weapon Tuosen and the others had developed. He asked:
"What's the range of this weapon, and how powerful is it?"
Hearing Chen Feng's question, Tuosen immediately said:
"This laser weapon has a power output of one million watts and a maximum range of three thousand kilometers, though terrain will reduce that range somewhat. Its initial speed can be close to the speed of light, but because of the atmosphere and air, its final speed will be around one hundred thousand kilometers per second."
"We haven't tested its power yet, but its destructive force is definitely greater than that of every known laser weapon currently on the market."
Tuosen was quite confident in the laser weapon he had developed.
Although countries all over the world were researching laser weapons, they all faced two enormous difficulties.
The first was power. Laser weapons needed a sufficient supply of energy.
The second was materials.
Once a laser weapon was running, the heat it gave off was terrifying. Although
