chapter 187
{ Strongest Superman 9 }
At that moment, a solution came out of Yuhanwol’s mouth.
“If you use stacked weapon enhancement magic, you’ll be able to break through his defenses to some extent.”
“……”
It’s good to know that there’s a way to attack.
But the problem is that even this consumes his divine power.
Besides, how many stacks of magic do you need to use to overcome such a defense?
After a while, Bertrand’s voice quietly came out.
“Then the answer is a knife?”
A picture drawn in the mind of the operation team.
You can’t avoid Bruce’s attack.
So, block his attack with the Holy Shield, and at the same time break through his defense with a weapon enhanced with Enhancement.
I remember Urasab’s words that Bruce’s attack power would be superior to that of Noevelt.
It was the same in the battle against Noevelt.
It had withstood the relentless attack of the man who was pouring with Holy Shield and Healing.
So, isn’t that likely to be the case with Bruce as well?
From attack to defense.
A situation in which nothing can be done without the divine power of the finite month.
I’m not sure if going together really helps.
‘… … .’
Then Zhou Chang said in a pleasant tone.
“Then it becomes a battle of who falls first? That’s also my specialty.”
A tone that doesn’t seem to even think about stepping back.
The operation team looked at him like that.
His attitude is right.
Since there is a divine power of Yuhan Moon, it should be seen that there is room to do anything.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to go to the battlefield and you’ll have to hide behind your back.
I leave my colleague alone in the limbs.
I can’t.
broke their hearts
Will the divine power of the finite month decline first?
Or Bruce… Will the strongest superman reveal the collapse first?
The next battle seemed to be such a battle.
Yang Yang-gwang, who had been shaking his head for a while.
He looked at Cain, who was still silent for a long time.
That serious face, as if he was still thinking about something.
I remember the last words Cain had uttered a while ago.
‘It’s better to take a weapon that poses a threat… But how are you going to break through the body that is defended by Aurors?”
“Can’t we make a more powerful gun?”
Cain quietly opened his mouth at Yang Yang-gwang’s slurred words.
Because I am well aware of the seriousness of this matter.
“Well, it’s difficult with the existing weapon system… Since gunpowder was invented, guns have continued to develop. However, the main framework for firing using chemical energy has not changed. And now the development has stalled. So, it’s not easy to make something more powerful. Unless there’s something new that goes beyond the existing idea…”
Then Cain looks at Yuhan Wol as if he has something on his mind and asks.
“You… why didn’t you send those defensive superhumans to one room in the past? Just tapping them with your hands.
“Am I talking about the heavy water law?”
“Yeah, that. Maybe that will work for Bruce?”
Those on the left focused on those words.
What if it could deliver a shock to the inside even if it couldn’t hurt the outer shell?
Then maybe he can attack Bruce?
“Well… I don’t know what it’s like, but at least it’s definitely more effective than Starburst.”
“Yeah? Then I’ll have to change the default armament to High Explosive Plastic (HEP).”
Cain gave explanations to those who looked at them.
“It’s a bullet that sticks to the surface and then explodes. When it hits a target, it sticks like clay. As the peony explodes with a delay attached to the surface, the shock wave is completely transmitted to the inside.”
“Oh, I didn’t know there was such a thing.”
It seems that there was such a thing when I asked why I rhyme.
Cain continued speaking in response to a strange reaction.
“Well, it’s not new, it’s old. And it’s not even more deadly than a shotgun shell. It can’t break through Bruce’s high defense… I wonder if any of the shells I’ve had so far will work…”
His firm expression that couldn’t be straightened out.
He didn’t seem to think of anything else.
It’s the same for everyone.
I have nothing to say, so I just keep quiet.
Then, suddenly, Yang Gwang uttered the words again.
“Why… the Rail gun? Well, why can’t you make something like that?”
Cain said it was difficult with the existing weapon system, so he shook his head and brought it up, but the words of Finjanseong come back.
“Are you talking about how big that is? Railguns are used properly by the US military on large ships. Even those converted for ground operation easily exceed the size of a large trailer.”
“No, I mean, why can’t you make something like that…”
The moment Yang Yang Kwang opens his mouth amidst the coexistence of shyness and secretly rising boa, Cain abruptly cuts off those words.
“for a moment!!”
When everyone looked at him like that, Cain’s mouth even opened.
“It’s kind of like a railgun… Yeah, an Electrothermal Chemical Gun (ETCG)… maybe it’s going to hit Bruce.”
It looks like you’ve found a clue.
Yang Gwang-gwang responded with a happy heart, pressing his boss down.
A question posed to him as if he was lost in thought.
“What is that?”
“As I said, conventional guns accelerate the projectile only with the power of chemical propulsion. However, in doing so, various problems that limit the expression of the maximum performance value arise. For example, in order to increase power, by increasing the density of gunpow I filled it up, but the explosive power was not as expected because the charge was incompletely combusted. This is one of the main reasons why the trend of strengthening the power of existing guns has stagnated.”
“Five!”
“However, the electrothermal chemical cannon creates plasma and completely burns the charge by arc discharge. By maximizing the combustion efficiency, it can create explosive power comparable to the theoretical value. That’s why it has a muzzle speed comparable to that of a railgun. In other words, it has tremendous destructive power. don’t brag.”
“Anyway, is it a sword similar to a railgun? Much more powerful than the existing weapon?”
“Yeah. And it’s a technology that has already been developed successfully.”
After a while, Cain continued to spit out what he expected.
“Rail guns cannot use conventional ammunition. They are exposed to enormous thermal energy and electromagnetic force. So, you have to use only pure metal. However, the electrothermal chemical cannon can use existing bullets. Also, the miniaturization of the rail gun is the current technology. Because it requires too much electricity and the size of the power supply becomes too large. However, the electrothermal chemical cannon requires much less electricity compared to that, so it can be miniaturized. If the caliber is small… maybe the operation team can use it. There must be. A normal human would never use it.”
The operation team with a clear expression on their faces at his cleared up comments.
Cain jumped up.
“let’s go!”
Yang Yang-gwang and Li-Vi looking up at his gaze.
“If we make it right, we need to get the technology and blueprints out quickly.”
Then the three of them moved back and forth.
It was still more lively than before.
Feeling helpless.
Because it wasn’t just the operation team that felt it.
I didn’t know how well it would work, but it was better than sitting there doing nothing.
* * *
“Hanwol, what’s going on?”
Bertrand, who was alone, looked at him as he entered the training room and said.
Because it was a finite month in which most of the time at the base was spent in the room.
Yuhan-wol just smiles at that reaction.
Bertrand just thought he was as complicated as I am.
‘I have to… … .’
Bruce is unparalleled.
And when you don’t know when you’ll face such an enemy again, you just have to wait without a promise.
It will be very frustrating.
me too
That’s when it’s best to move.
A situation where you are alone.
“Then shall we compete?”
After the match, two people sitting side by side.
Bertrand approached Yuhan-wol, who was sitting in the corner, and handed him a water bottle.
“Isn’t it a little narrow?”
Even comparing it to the spacious space of the previous bases is embarrassing.
However, we have to be aware that submarines have such facilities.
Since the base is the base, it is impossible to conduct noisy training.
Yuhan-wol said with a smirk.
“If Bert gets frustrated, can he go up to the sky and train?”
it should be though
The problem is that being in the training room right now is not because I really need training.
“Han moon.”
After some silence, Yuhan-wol answered Bertrand’s words that suddenly rang out.
“yes?”
Now, he feels more like an older brother than a colleague.
comfortable tone.
“What are you going to do when this is over?”
“Well… have you ever thought about it?”
Bertrand clicks his tongue inside.
It is not a feeling of being criticized for not thinking.
I’ve been running so effortlessly, so it’s only natural.
Those days when it was difficult to think about the future.
Yuhan-wol’s voice returns to him.
“Bert?”
“I want to go to America.”
After a while, Yuhan Wol asked, as if he was guessing what he was going through.
“That… where you were with your wife after being discharged?”
Bertrand nodded.
He was bound by Bruce’s mind control.
‘… … .’
Should I say thanks?
I met her whom I had longed to see.
and realized
I still haven’t been able to escape from that responsibility from the guilt of losing her.
‘Elizabeth… … .’
unprotected love.
I haven’t even been to his wife’s grave.
Bertrand stares blankly in front for a moment.
now…
Can we move forward?
‘I’ll have to go first.’
Then you will know.
maybe.
It seemed so.
no,
otherwise
It felt like I couldn’t take one more step.
“And then?”
Bertrand shook his head flutteringly, as if he had no plans.
Then he suddenly uttered a word.
“Han-wol. Shouldn’t you seriously consider your relationship with Dan-ah?”
“……”
A month without words.
Bertrand looked at him.
‘I thought you’d get an answer right away?’
Unexpectedly, no reaction came out of Hanwol’s mouth.
Then, after a moment, Bertrand spoke again.
The tone that sounded like talking to himself.
“Can we have a normal love? You’re not the one who caused outward evolution, so it might be less relatable. But, no matter how humanoid you are, you’re a superhuman. If I hit the person sleeping next to me? If my loved one gets seriously injured or loses their life because of me? The other person is ready to bear it. Even if I lose it, can you accept it?”
Yuhan-wol looks back at him.
He was always strong and cold, but for some reason I felt weak.
What is conveyed at the same time is his sincerity.
Saying these things at a time before an important decisive battle…
it means to survive.
say to survive.
And the heretic will live.
So the two of them live happily ever after.
‘… … .’
Yuhan-wol turned his head and looked ahead.
I want to too.
They may not know it because they have tried not to show it to the operation team or base personnel as much as possible.
It has been a long time since I seriously considered Lee Dan-ah as a companion.
However…
‘… … .’
Yuhan Wol’s eyes darkened.
* * *
The operation team, each of which went unnoticed.
However, after not long waiting for them, a call came.
A call from him that has been bothering me lately.
