Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng maintained his previous smile and said, ”Of course, gunpowder firearms have reached their limit. What you’ve accomplished this time is quite commendable, fully exploiting the power of gunpowder firearms and achieving their peak performance.

Jiang Cheng first praised the other’s achievements, then continued, since gunpowder weapons can no longer develop, why don’t we try thinking from a different perspective? By using other power sources to drive bullets, wouldn’t that allow us to continue enhancing the performance of firearms?

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, the researcher excitedly asked, ”Are you suggesting we completely abandon gunpowder firearms and instead develop other types of firearms?”

But after saying this, it seemed he thought of something else and became disappointed, ”But other firearms are not mature at all right now. Many are just fantasies, and no one has been able to create them.” Jiang Cheng looked at the researcher opposite him, showing a confident smile. Just because others can’t create new firearms doesn’t mean I can’t. Such minor issues won’t trouble me at all. Since gunpowder firearms can no longer keep up with the times, other firearms should take the stage.

I believe firearms driven by electromagnetic force are a very promising direction, much more advanced than gunpowder firearms.

Jiang Cheng directly proposed his solution and declared, ”Such a firearm is the legendary Gauss Rifle!”

The Gauss Rifle first appeared in games; it can be said to be a weapon of fantasy.

In the game called ”StarCraft,” the primary weapon used by Human Race infantry is the Gauss Rifle.

The Gauss Rifle can be said to be a weapon that exists only in imagination; no one has been able to realize it yet.

This firearm uses electromagnetic force to accelerate a rail, thereby propelling a metal bullet to very high speeds.

The power of a general firearm mainly depends on two aspects: the firearm’s caliber, which is the size of the bullet.

The other is the speed of the bullet; naturally, the faster the bullet, the greater its impact.

The biggest limitation of gunpowder firearms is that bullet speed can no longer be increased; the power of gunpowder can only make bullets reach the current speed, and further increase is not possible.

But the Gauss Rifle doesn’t have this problem; the power of electromagnetism far exceeds that of gunpowder.

Through a rail filled with electromagnetic force, the metal bullet can be accelerated to unimaginable speeds.

This is the advantage of the Gauss Rifle, which can greatly enhance the power of firearms.

Moreover, the Gauss Rifle not only has bullet speed far exceeding that of gunpowder firearms, but it also outshines them in other aspects.

Gunpowder firearms produce a loud noise when fired, which is the sound of gunpowder burning in the chamber.

It’s possible to reduce the noise, but that would reduce the firearm’s power.

However, the Gauss Rifle does not have this problem, as electromagnetic force is very quiet, reducing the gunshot sound to a minimum.

The bullets of a Gauss Rifle are simpler than those of gunpowder firearms; only the shape of the bullet needs to be suitable.

Unlike bullets of gunpowder firearms, which have separate bullet heads, casings, and propellant.

The Gauss Rifle bullet just has the bullet head, not requiring anything else; after all, this firearm relies on electromagnetic power, unlike the complexity of gunpowder firearms.

The advantages of such bullets make the supply of Gauss Rifles more convenient; with less casing and propellant, the bullets become much lighter.

At the very least, in the future, the production of bullets will become simpler, only needing to produce appropriate bullet heads.

The advantages of the Gauss Rifle are very obvious, and its disadvantages are virtually non-existent.

The only drawback might be that current Earth technology can’t realize it.

No matter how advanced an unmanufacturable firearm is, it’s ultimately futile, just a beautiful human imagination.

Since the inception of the Gauss Rifle, people haven’t stopped researching related content.

But these studies have made no progress whatsoever; humanity currently can’t harness such electromagnetic forces, with unsolvable problems during realization.

Even straining to create a prototype of a Gauss Rifle lacks practical value.

Experimental Gauss Rifle prototypes all have fatal flaws, lacking any combat value.

Since the research has hit a dead end, using it as a weapon is out of the question.

However, for Jiang Cheng, such beautiful imagination can become a reality. To him, the Gauss Rifle is not particularly advanced; creating it poses no problem for him.

In his previous life, even the Gauss Rifle was obsolete.

By then, everyone was using laser guns and the like; physical ammunition had been completely phased out.

Jiang Cheng had already fully mastered the complete set of Gauss Rifle technology in his previous life, and other aspects are now achievable with Earth’s technology.

As long as he takes some time after returning, Jiang Cheng can create this fantasy weapon.

Could you really create this legendary firearm? If so, all problems can be solved; the Gauss Rifle will certainly pose a threat to Humanoid Armor, far surpassing traditional gunpowder firearms.

The researcher, upon hearing about the Gauss Rifle, immediately and excitedly spoke to Jiang Cheng.

He didn’t even notice that he unconsciously started using honorifics for Jiang Cheng.

The use of the word ”您” signifies his recognition of Jiang Cheng in his heart, also reflecting the disparity in their capabilities and status.

This researcher spent his life studying firearms, and Jiang Cheng’s ability to create a Gauss Rifle is considered a great achievement in his mind, which is why he was so excited.

As for whether Jiang Cheng could actually create a Gauss Rifle, he had no doubts at all.

Not only this researcher but everyone present had no suspicions.

Everyone was aware of Jiang Cheng’s capabilities; once Jiang Cheng spoke, he would certainly accomplish it.

They had unconditional trust in Jiang Cheng in terms of scientific research, a trust established little by little through his various achievements and epoch-making research.

Jiang Cheng was the absolute authority in research, leaving others without the slightest doubt.

After Jiang Cheng made his promise, the chief displayed a gratified smile, knowing Jiang Cheng would never disappoint him.

The chief patted Jiang Cheng’s shoulder with satisfaction and said, ”I didn’t expect you have research in firearms as well, Jiang Cheng. In that case, I’ll leave the matter of weaponry to you. I hope you can soon deliver a Gauss Rifle prototype, enabling the Iron Man Armor to have its own weapon.
