Volume 10: Ancient Battleship Chapter 488: Blind Dog Eyes
"Whether this force field really exists or not, won't we know if we try it?"
As the Hound spoke, he raised his gun, pointed the muzzle at the dome above the huge pit, and pulled the trigger.
A faint blue arc flashed across the magnetic track coil, and the warhead made of special material was instantly accelerated to 3,500 meters per second, turning into a beam of electric light and shooting straight out!
“Bang!”
The sound of the bullet being nailed into the dome rock wall echoed throughout the power room, and a small amount of fine stone powder scattered down from above.
The trajectory of this shot obliquely passed through the "resonance force field" above the huge pit, but it was not affected at all.
"That's weird, why is there no reaction at all?" The hound muttered, slightly adjusting the angle of the muzzle, preparing to fire another shot.
However, Layton reached out and pressed the muzzle of his gun, saying, "Electromagnetic weapons fire physical bullets. The killing effect depends entirely on the kinetic energy attached to the warhead. The resonant force field will not react ."
"Then energy weapons should be okay, right?" Hound took out a laser pulse pistol, adjusted the shooting power to maximum, aimed straight ahead, and emptied a whole energy magazine in one breath.
There is a big difference between pulsed laser weapons and cluster laser weapons. The latter directly emits a straight high-energy laser beam, while the former is more like a "strobe flashlight" - the interval between each "bullet" is 0.0125 seconds, and hundreds or thousands of bullets can be fired in a breath. If the muzzle protector is removed, the shooter's titanium alloy eyes can be blinded in an instant.
But in fact, this thing is very weak and has a short range. It is okay against unarmored targets, but it is completely useless against enemies wearing armor.
After all the calculations, only the temporary blinding effect can be of some use.
In actual combat, pulsed laser weapons are more used to disrupt the enemy's vision or to ignite some flammable objects... It is for this reason that this type of weapon has two slightly derogatory nicknames in the military, such as "lighter" and "flashlight".
But just after this weak laser pulse penetrated into the "resonance force field", it suddenly exploded, emitting an extremely dazzling light!
The scorching white light made Ke Lan feel like he was looking directly at the sun above the clouds. Although the light filter layer of the protective mask seeped up immediately, tears still flowed uncontrollably from his tear glands. He closed his eyes, but he could still see the afterimages left by the dazzling light spots on his retina.
"Damn it, my eyes!" The howl of the hound came from the side - he had been staring at the laser that shot into the field with his eyes wide open, and he even took off his helmet... The moment the light spot exploded, his eyes were directly blinded.
He dropped the gun in his hand and covered his eyes with his hands, tears streaming down his fingers - if Layton hadn't quickly supported his shoulders, he might have lost his balance and fallen to the ground.
The strong light released after the laser pulse enters the resonant force field is hundreds of times brighter than a stun grenade, enough to cause irreversible damage to human eyes.
Ke Lan blinked hard a few times before his vision became clearer. He quickly said to Ivan, "Quick, go check on the old dog!"
Ivan walked quickly to the hound and motioned for Layton to put him down and let him lie flat on the ground.
"Doctor?! Is that a doctor? I... I can't seem to see anything! Am I blind?" The hound asked anxiously after hearing Ivan's voice.
"I'm not sure yet. I'll tell you after I see it." Ivan took out a small dose of sedative and inserted it into the injection hole of the power armor. Then he grabbed Hound's wrist and moved his hands away from his eyes. "Don't worry, even if he's blind, the technology of artificial eyes is very mature now. He can see more clearly after replacing them. If you don't like the artificial eyes, you can go to the medical cabin for two months and they will be restored to their original state."
"Shit, am I really blind?" The Hound's heart skipped a beat - he was not worried about whether his eyes would be able to see again in the future, but if he went blind at this moment, he would become a burden to the entire reconnaissance team.
He knew that Ke Lan and the others would not abandon him, but he was even more unwilling to drag others down because of himself.
"I don't want to be the one who holds us back..." the Hound said to himself.
"Don't be impatient, I haven't even looked at it yet." Ivan put on a pair of disposable medical gloves and carefully pried open the hound's eyelids.
"Pass me the flashlight."
Ivan took the flashlight handed to him by Layton, adjusted the brightness, and then pointed it at the hound's eyes.
"Fortunately, the pupil is still responding. It's likely that the retina is burned." Ivan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Retinal burns? Am I blind?" asked the Hound.
"Do you feel pain and itchiness under your eyes now, and want to rub them with your hands?" Ivan asked again.
"right!"
"Don't touch your eyes with your hands. Squeezing will only make the situation worse." Ivan said as he gently rinsed the hound's eyes with clean water. "I'll help you wash away the secretions in your eyes first, and then put some eye drops in."
"Is that all? No surgery is needed?" The Hound asked after being stunned for a moment .
"Surgery? What kind of surgery? Dig out your eyeballs and replace them with artificial eyes?" Ivan asked. "That's not necessary. Besides, there are no conditions for surgery here."
"Then I am not blind?" asked the hound with some joy .
"You are blind, but it is only temporary. Your vision will be restored in ten minutes at the fastest and an hour at the slowest. But if you want to completely eliminate the sequelae, I suggest you stay in the medical cabin for two days after you go back to repair your damaged retina. Otherwise, your vision may get worse in the future." Ivan instructed. In order to prevent the hound from rubbing his eyes, he forcefully put the helmet on the hound's head and pulled down the mask.
"It's good that I'm not blind! It's good that I'm not blind!" The hound fumbled to his feet and cursed, "What the hell is this force field? It almost killed me!"
"Based on the brightness, the energy of the laser pulse that Lao Gou just fired was amplified by at least 160 times." Layton said as he looked at the screen of the detection instrument. "With this level of amplification, it's no wonder that the drone's motor was burned..."
"However, this resonant force field seems to only amplify energy above a certain intensity. My laser rangefinder was not affected before." Leighton added.
"What if it's a person who goes in?" Aya couldn't help but ask.
"The power armor will be paralyzed instantly, but because of the existence of safety devices, the explosion will not occur... As for the impact on the human body, I can't say for sure."
