116 Humanoid Cannon
116 Humanoid Cannon
Electricity and magnetism are two sides of the same coin; Xu Yanke understands this all too well!
He immediately took out an electromagnetic rifle from his Qiankun Ring, removed a steel-core bullet, held it in his palm, and used the Thunder-Capturing Hand technique again. The bullet immediately floated up and hovered above his palm.
Xu Yan was overjoyed and so excited that she almost fainted.
If the hands can do it, what about other places?
He couldn't wait and tried to apply the Thunder-Capturing Hand technique to his forearm.
But changing the technique wasn't easy. It took several attempts to get the hang of it. The bullet that was originally lying in my palm rolled onto my forearm and stuck tightly to my skin. I couldn't pull it off!
That's impressive!
Xu Yan was overjoyed.
Fortunately, the airship was made entirely of wood; otherwise, it would have been covered in wood.
Xu Yan was not satisfied with the status quo, so he tried to set up magnetic nodes in other parts of his body. The bullet was like a naughty child, jumping around on his body as the magnetic nodes changed.
After playing for a while, Xu Yan tried to project his true energy out of his body, and a lightning ring with both ends embedded in his arm immediately appeared on his forearm.
He carefully controlled his true energy using the Thunder-Capturing Hand technique. The thunder ring expanded and shrank, and the intensity of the magnetic force kept changing. The bullet that was originally stuck to his arm trembled and detached from his skin. No matter how the thunder ring changed, it always remained suspended in the center of the thunder ring!
Only after mastering it thoroughly could Xu Yan control the lightning ring to the size of a mooncake, manipulating it to move from his forearm to his shoulder, and then back to his wrist, with the bullet moving back and forth accordingly.
Good news!
Since we can control the magnetic field, we can fire the bullets!
Thinking of this, Xu Yan immediately straightened his arm, pre-set a magnetic node above the tiger's mouth, placed the bullet above his forearm, and then fully circulated his true energy. The moment the lightning ring appeared, the magnetic force suddenly increased, and the bullet flew towards the lightning ring.
The launch... was unsuccessful.
Lacking experience on the first attempt, after the bullet flew past the tiger's mouth, it failed to retract the magnetic node in time, and the bullet, which should have flown out, was pulled back by the magnetic force.
The key to the electromagnetic railgun's ability to launch projectiles is to cut off the power and shut down the magnetic field in time after the projectile passes the magnetic core.
Knowing where the problem lay, Xu Yan took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and began the long and monotonous training of controlling his movements.
Sunrise and sunset.
The sun rises and sets.
The flying boat continued forward, and the lightning ring on Xu Yan's arm contracted and released repeatedly.
Xu Yan didn't know how many times he had repeated it, but the speed of retraction and release was always far behind, and he was still a long way from achieving true electromagnetic emission.
He was unwilling to give up, but he also knew that simply repeating the process could not achieve the level of instantaneous control. He had to improve his cultivation and his control over his true essence in order to gradually master the secret of the human electromagnetic cannon!
But can we think about it from a different perspective?
Xu Yan clasped his hands together and raised them to his forehead, solemnly praying, "Please protect me, Sister Pao!"
After the ceremony, he stretched out his left arm, pointing towards the target, and a lightning ring appeared above his wrist. He then pinched and pulled back with his right hand, as if drawing an invisible bow with both hands.
The moment the magnetic force reached its peak, Xu Yan released the bullet and withdrew his true energy. The bullet whizzed past the slowly dissipating lightning ring and flew far away.
Although it wasn't fast or powerful, it actually got launched!
Xu Yan let out a long breath, but he wasn't as overjoyed as he had imagined.
What's there to be happy about with only a level 1 acceleration?
Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that we have found the trick, the next step is to keep improving it.
Elbow and wrist rings.
Elbow, wrist, shoulder, and three rings...
The lightning rings must be closed sequentially within a very short time, and the more rings there are, the more difficult it is to control.
Xu Yan tried several times in a row, and although he succeeded each time, the power of the bullets was different each time.
At its strongest, it unleashed a sonic whistle, with power comparable to a bullet fired from a gun.
At its weakest, it slowly flies a few feet before losing momentum and turning into a curved parabola.
He subconsciously used his grenade-catching technique and actually managed to retrieve the warhead back into his hand.
Xu Yan was speechless. How could this be used in actual combat? It's just a toy!
The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. He focused his mind and activated his profound perception. His thoughts immediately became as clear as water, and everything around him was reflected in his heart. Even the flow of time seemed to slow down.
Activate the three rings, draw the bow and wait. The magnetic force reaches its peak in the blink of an eye. Just as you are about to release your fingers, a sudden inspiration strikes, and you change from releasing to releasing.
Now that he has an exceptional physique, the force of this shot is extraordinary, giving the bullet a remarkable initial velocity.
The bullet swayed and passed through the three dissipating lightning rings in succession, and a crisp sonic boom echoed out.
Xu Yanteng stood up abruptly, unable to maintain his profound perception.
Although he couldn't measure the speed of the bullet, the range of his divine sense was about three hundred meters, and in just an instant, the bullet flew out of his divine sense.
While it's nowhere near as incredible as 2000 meters per second, it's definitely much faster than a rifle, and even a sniper rifle is no match for it!
This is still a 12.7mm heavy bullet; if it were replaced with a lighter bullet...
Without hesitation, Xu Yan immediately switched to a needle bullet with a diameter of only two millimeters. With a flick of his finger, the needle bullet flew up and down like Sun Wukong's golden cudgel, yet it accurately passed through several lightning rings and disappeared from his divine sense in an instant.
Xu Yan had a toothache.
Electromagnetic rifle bullets are either cone-shaped or needle-shaped, and have no spin, making them inherently difficult to stabilize. In addition, the position of the lightning ring is not as precise as that of the guide rail, which further aggravates the bullet's deviation.
Should we switch to spherical bullets like the early smoothbore guns?
The reason why the tactic of firing in a line was used was because the trajectory of spherical bullets was too unstable.
That said, aiming with bare hands in electromagnetic launch relies entirely on intuition. The accuracy is decent at close range, but it becomes a completely different story at a distance.
Since you can't aim accurately, it's not a big deal to miss a good shot.
However, Xu Yan has always carried a stubborn streak of not giving up easily since childhood.
He held a cone-shaped projectile in his palm and used the "Grenade-Catching Hand" technique, attempting to use a magnetic field to make the projectile spin.
But the bullet tumbled and rolled in his palm, refusing to rotate as he intended.
Xu Yan pondered for a moment, then joined his five fingers together to manipulate the magnetic field to rotate. The warhead, which had been spinning erratically, also began to spin and quickly stabilized.
He was seized by a playful impulse. He used his right hand to control the bullet with a lightning-catching hand gesture, and his left hand to attract the lightning ring. He then assumed a ready-to-fire posture, and with a flick of his middle finger, the high-speed spinning bullet flew away in an instant!
Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and finally showed a satisfied smile.
He has only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage and can only fire small bullets. As his cultivation deepens, the power of the humanoid electromagnetic cannon will naturally increase. Sooner or later, it will be able to rival a real electromagnetic cannon!
But then I felt a little depressed.
The electromagnetic rifle I finally got seems to be useless now!
