Chapter 60 Hitting the Target

It's important to know that this performance test has already been reported to the military, and the relevant units in the military's weapons procurement department will also be paying attention to the electromagnetic railgun's combat testing.

What Dong Qi just said will definitely affect the military's evaluation of the electromagnetic railgun.

It's important to know that this performance test has already been reported to the military, and the relevant units in the military's weapons procurement department will also be paying attention to the electromagnetic railgun's combat testing.

What Dong Qi just said will definitely affect the military's evaluation of the electromagnetic railgun.

I don't know what stupid thing the people in the research institute were thinking, knowing full well that the military would evaluate the practicality of this electromagnetic gun based on the results of this test.

They still haven't produced a fully developed model, and are instead trying to fool Dong Qi with an immature experimental model.

Wu Yifei considered himself a responsible person, so when he took on this task, he immediately searched for information on his own to learn about the details of this type of electromagnetic gun.

Only after gaining a general understanding of this type of electromagnetic gun did I carefully study the detailed information given when accepting the mission.

After reviewing the accompanying materials, Wu Yifei realized that this seemingly simple test task would be difficult to complete, let alone perfect.

Because the electromagnetic railgun, which is the core of this mission and the most important test subject, is not a fully-fledged version that has been internally verified, but a stripped-down version with many functions removed.

If it's just internal verification, this isn't really a critical issue.

However, this verification requires the cooperation of the military, and the military will also evaluate the practicality of the electromagnetic railgun based on the results of this test.

Wu Yifei couldn't understand why, if they wanted to pass the military's procurement evaluation, they had to use a downgraded version. It wasn't like the research institute didn't have a final, complete electromagnetic railgun.

Keep in mind that each failed evaluation will reduce the maximum amount of research funding you can apply for next time.

Presenting a stripped-down version to the military for evaluation is clearly a lose-lose situation.

It's unlikely that they would try to trick someone in this way. After all, if Dong Qi finds the electromagnetic cannon to be completely useless after the test, he can simply dismantle it and return it to the research institute.

According to the agreement between the two parties, the research institute will waive the corresponding debts.

If Dong Qi really makes such a choice, then he will not only be able to get rid of this useless toy, but also retain a considerable amount of merit points.

Even though Wu Yifei couldn't figure out what the higher-ups meant, after receiving the mission, he still wanted to improve the military's assessment of the electromagnetic gun as much as possible.

That's why they abandoned the traditional testing process of starting with the easy and then moving to the difficult, and instead took a different approach by choosing a testing method that starts with the difficult and then moves to the easy.

However, he never expected that before the first test even started, Dong Qi would start stirring up trouble and trying to sow discord between him and others.

Based on what Dong Qi just said, even though the actual combat test hasn't really started yet, Wu Yifei is already certain that the military's evaluation after this test will definitely not be high.

However, Wu Yifei really couldn't refute Dong Qi's complaints, since the facts were already laid out before him.

Faced with this situation, Wu Yifei only wanted to quickly reload the bullets and conduct a firepower test as soon as possible to see if he could win back some goodwill from the military.

After loading ammunition, the vehicle, guided by the garrison, went directly to the edge of the coast.

This area is frequently detected by military radar as harboring large creatures underwater.

Although the figures of those large creatures had been spotted before, they remained hidden underwater and did not surface.

Furthermore, heavy firepower was temporarily unavailable, which is why no attack was attempted.

The purpose of arranging for the research institute's electromagnetic railgun to be tested in actual combat this time was not only to cooperate with other departments in testing weapon performance.

More importantly, the General Staff also wanted to know what that huge thing hidden underwater was.

More importantly, the military has mobilized all its available heavy firepower to this location.

Even in the event of an emergency, the garrison on this side of the coast can suppress it with their powerful firepower.

After Dong Qi drove to the seaside, he learned how to operate the newly installed radar on the car under Wu Yifei's guidance.

Although mutated marine creatures occasionally land, they are immediately killed as soon as they land thanks to the strong defense of the nearby troops.

Dong Qi and his group ignored the mutated marine creatures that had landed and waited in the car for the big guy that the military had mentioned, which was hiding underwater, to appear.

This didn't keep Dong Qi and his team waiting long; the radar on the car quickly scanned the other party's location.

However, this location is a bit far from the coastline, but that distance is still within the range of a precision strike for an electromagnetic railgun.

However, according to the military's requirements, the attack could only be carried out after the enemy approached the coastline.

Judging from the radar's leisurely movement speed, it's clear that the other party is unaware of the deadly danger awaiting them.

As the enemy stopped about two or three hundred meters from the coastline, Wu Yifei, after receiving a signal from the garrison, immediately said, "Target locked, fire now."

After hearing Wu Yifei's words, although Dong Qi was somewhat displeased with the newly installed electromagnetic gun, he was still slightly tempted when it came to actual combat firing.

As Dong Qi pressed the firing button, the vehicle shuddered slightly twice in succession.

Although the electromagnetic cannon installed on Dong Qi by the research institute was a downgraded version, it only increased the difficulty of use, and no other aspects were reduced.

Therefore, when the electromagnetic railgun was fired, not only was there no sound, but there was also no smoke that would be produced when ordinary weapons are used.

If it weren't for the two consecutive explosive splashes on the water nearby, the others probably wouldn't have noticed that the electromagnetic cannon's attack had already ended.

It was at this moment that Dong Qi realized that this electromagnetic cannon did not focus on attack range and lethality, but rather on its stealth during attack.

Dong Qi then understood why the research institute had increased the complexity of its use. If Dong Qi could use this electromagnetic cannon easily, it would pose a strong threat to others.

As the two shells pierced the water, dark green blood immediately floated to the surface.

Then the previously calm water surface immediately began to churn, and a large object gradually rose from below the surface.

Dong Qi took the binoculars from Wu Yifei and was able to see the appearance of the giant marine creature that had been hidden underwater.
