Chapter 505: Shooting Range Argument

Soon the Chairman asked Ye Su to try the other two types of ammunition, which were obviously much smaller than the one that melted half the tank just now.

Especially the last one, which had about the same attack power as a sniper rifle, but the range was definitely longer than traditional ammunition.

After watching these, the Chairman couldn't help but sigh, and everyone couldn't help but wring their hands. Instead, a trace of cunning appeared in Minister Liu's eyes.

It was enough that Ye Su didn't get support this time. If it weren't for the fact that he had said before that it overlapped with active weapons and the cost was high, these old guys would probably have been excited and raised their hands in support, right?

Ye Su knew what everyone was worried about when he saw their reactions. The Chairman had also said before that everything was waiting to be rebuilt, and the economy was not stable now, and the cost of these shells made people flinch when they heard it.

"Leaders, although these shells are disposable, they can be recycled and reused. It's just that after each shot, the energy inside is exhausted, and the artificial ruby cannot withstand it, causing fragmentation."

"And we only need to replace the artificial ruby and recharge it, and these laser shells can be used again. The cost will be much lower than shells."

When everyone heard this, they had a plan in their hearts. It was just that the initial cost would be a bit higher, but if reused, the price would be very low. After all, artificial gems and energy were not worth much.

In fact, this could also be considered a one-time laser gun, and it could be purchased and equipped to the army. After all, the stability of this thing was much higher than traditional ammunition.

Especially that speed, which could threaten fighter planes flying at high altitude. As long as one fighter plane was shot down, it wouldn't be a loss.

Several old men looked at each other, obviously moved.

The Chairman coughed and laughed:

"Ye Su, we have also seen your laser weapon. We originally wanted to strongly support it, but the economy is not good now, so we can only purchase some on a small scale."

Soon, several people determined the procurement plan and decided to purchase some large and medium-sized ammunition from Ye Su. Ye Su saw the small ammunition, and no one needed it, so he couldn't help but ask:

"Chairman, don't you plan to get some of these small ammunition? After all, the cost is much cheaper."

Minister Liu was already very sour, and didn't expect Ye Su to promote small weapons. Before the Chairman could reply, he said bluntly:

"This kind of weapon is too weak. There are plenty of weapons in the army that can replace it. It's simply not practical. I really don't know what's the use of you researching this small type."

Ye Su also got angry, but it was obviously impossible to move a minister who hadn't made a mistake.

Ye Su could only mock: "That's just your shallow knowledge. I really don't know how you got to this position."

"You..."

Minister Liu was in a high position and obviously hadn't suffered such anger. He stretched out his finger and pointed at Ye Su, unable to speak for a while.

Ye Su ignored him directly, turned his head and said to Ba Tian:

"Ba Tian, start Vulcan cannon mode!"

After hearing the order, Ba Tian's arm actually transformed into a giant Gatling gun. Following Ye Su's instruction, Ba Tian picked up a loaded magazine and blasted it at the previous target.

In less than two seconds, that half-tank was melted into molten iron. Everyone looked at this scene and was quite shocked. The damage was much greater than a Gatling gun. I believe there is nothing in this world that can block this burst.

Minister Liu soon reacted from the shock and said:

"I really didn't see what the use is. A giant Gatling gun? A large laser can also achieve this effect with one shot."

Ye Su looked at Minister Liu with pity and said: "Then what about facing scattered enemies?"

"Isn't there a traditional Gatling gun?"

Ye Su was speechless for a while. The functions of the two were indeed the same.

"Then what about the close-in defense gun?"

Minister Liu frowned and said:

"Isn't there a close-in defense gun? It's used to intercept missiles!"

Ye Su laughed: "The close-in defense gun is the last barrier for warships and fighter planes, relying on dense ammunition to keep enemy missiles out of range."

Minister Liu interrupted Ye Su's explanation.

"You don't need to tell me this, I know it better than you."

"Then don't you think this has a lower cost and higher interception efficiency than a close-in defense gun?"

Everyone suddenly understood. A close-in defense gun fires ten thousand shells a minute, and one is not enough. This is truly burning money.

And when the close-in defense gun is used, it is at the critical moment of life and death. However, the interception success rate of a close-in defense gun is only a pitiful twenty percent. It requires several to be combined to reach an interception efficiency of ninety percent.

The close-in defense gun, known as the last line of defense, relies on ultra-high firing speed but has not achieved a very good interception effect. The reason for this lies in the flight speed of the shells.

And the small Gatling gun manufactured by Ye Su has stronger defensive capabilities than the close-in defense gun, and the cost is lower, and the interception efficiency is nearly one hundred percent, which is simply perfect.

The Chairman waved his hand directly: "We cannot risk the lives of the soldiers. I plan to gradually replace the close-in defense guns of the active fleet. What do you think?"

When the officials heard this, they naturally agreed. After all, warships are expensive, and this investment is deserved.

Only Minister Liu's face turned blue and red, and then he left the shooting range angrily. ===== CHAPTER 507 =====
