Marvel: The games I made have invaded reality.

Chapter 6; Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons, Future Information-Based Warfare

Listening to Merlin and Gwen's words, Peter tightened his grip on his backpack.

"Thank you, but don't worry, no one will bully me anymore." He thanked them gratefully, and then said earnestly.

Gwen thought the other party was planning to follow Merlin's advice and learn martial arts, and couldn't help but feel happy for him.

Merlin frowned as he looked at the backpack that the other person was clutching tightly in his hand.

"I'll send you the coach's email address later. Don't be too impulsive before your skills improve," he advised.

"Okay, I'm going to the restroom first." Peter didn't seem to hear him, and after saying that, he quickly left the hall with his backpack.

After Peter left, Gwen looked at Merlin in surprise, "You also learned martial arts? When did that happen?"

During the holiday, she was either staying at home or running around spinning cobwebs in the sky above Apple City, keeping herself very busy. She hadn't spent much time with Merlin in a long time.

The main reason was that during their previous date, she stood him up because she was catching a criminal, so she felt a little embarrassed to face Merlin.

"After watching the movie alone..." Merlin raised an eyebrow.

Gwen: "…………"

"Just kidding, I'm not angry. That movie really looked good, and it would be a shame if you didn't see it."

"Then... let's go see another one this Saturday," Gwen suggested, tilting her head.

"Saturday... Sorry, I might be a bit busy during this time." Merlin gestured to the side, and before he knew it, people from other technology companies had gathered around, arguing with the Stark Industries technical agents.

Electromagnetic pulse jammer, atomic gun...

As a top student, Gwen naturally understood what the technology of those two firearms represented. Although she understood, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Well, it seems you've done a lot of amazing things lately."

…………

"Shit, Mirren, you can't be such an idiot! Show us the stuff right now!"

"No, I haven't finished watching it yet!"

The astonishing scene was not only witnessed by Stark Industries' technical agents, but also by Hammer, Osborn, and other technology companies.

However, they were a step too slow, and Stark Industries beat them to it.

In addition to the tech company's technical investigators, there were also some newspaper reporters present.

Seeing them arguing over their ties, Merlin quickly went over to them.

"Hey gentlemen, I've brought some exhibits with me this time. Perhaps you'd be interested in taking a look," he said, pointing in the direction of his own exhibition area.

Upon seeing Merlin, the agents who had been arguing quickly corrected their attitude and resumed their professional demeanor.

"You're Merlin Shaw, right? I'm from Hammer Industries, and this is my business card."

Others also handed over their business cards.

To be honest, they didn't expect that participating in the Midtown High School Science and Technology Exhibition would bring such a big surprise.

Midtown High School, as a landmark high school in Queens, has a strong faculty and has produced many outstanding students.

And every technology exhibition has some eye-catching inventions, but compared to this one, it's on a completely different level.

Technology that many labs have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on without success has been demonstrated here.

…………

Guided by Merlin, many science and technology researchers came to his booth area, and other students and teachers also curiously gathered around when they saw this.

Soon, Merlin's exhibition area was divided into many layers, inside and out.

"This is a miniature electromagnetic pulse transmitter, which I believe is familiar to everyone," Merlin said, pointing to his exhibit and beginning his introduction.

"Electromagnetic pulse?" Everyone is indeed familiar with it, and it has even been used in wars. It was used when the North besieged the South.

In recent years, the provocative United States has also dropped many bombs, causing local residents to regress to a state 100 years in the past.

This is a soft-kill area attack method, an electromagnetic pulse weapon, primarily used in future information warfare.

Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) bombs are divided into two types: nuclear EMP bombs and non-nuclear EMP bombs.

In comparison, the radiation range of a non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse bomb is much smaller.

This involves compressing an energized coil through an implosion, generating a momentary electromagnetic pulse that destroys electronic equipment within its radiation radius.

However, after the United States took the lead in using it, other countries also began to take precautions and set up three layers of shielding and defense at long, short and medium ranges.

Therefore, non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse weapons have only one advantage in war: they are not lethal to personnel.

Of course, in certain specific situations, disrupting network communications can also be quite useful.

Nuclear electromagnetic pulse bombs are even more terrifying; they have only been detonated in space during the Star Wars program between the US and Russia.

However, it was more accurately described as a nuclear explosion experiment. In addition to producing a large amount of gamma rays, the nuclear explosion also emitted a powerful electromagnetic pulse.

At that time, one-third of the satellites in near-Earth orbit were destroyed.

Electromagnetic pulse bombs were also inspired by this.

Merlin learned about this through a book published by Liu Cixin.

Currently, the technology of electromagnetic pulse bombs is not very mature, let alone miniaturization.

During this period, economics and practicality must also be considered, but future development will definitely focus on the extension of electromagnetic pulse weapons.

Many of the technical agents looked on with interest.

"Let me first talk about the uses of my research on electromagnetic pulse weapons. I mainly use them to facilitate police arrests."

"It is mainly used in scenarios such as car interception and communication disruption."

Miniature electromagnetic pulse transmitters sound like futuristic technology, but they are not practical on the battlefield.

Grounding, shielding, and filtering – these three steps significantly reduce the electromagnetic pulse.

On the contrary, it is more effective for intercepting urban vehicles, destroying electronic equipment, and infiltrating.

"This miniature electromagnetic pulse transmitter not only solved the size problem, but also the problem of wide-area strikes. The pulse bullets inside can accurately strike a single target."

"The pulse bullet contains a cylindrical explosive charge inside, and is wrapped with a wire on the outside."

"The bullet needs to be fully charged first. After it is fired, the column of gunpowder inside will detonate instantly. Because it starts from one end of the explosive column, the detonation point will generate a violent blast wave."

"Shockwaves can also work..." Merlin smiled and continued explaining.

"The wavefront will propagate towards the leading edge at a speed exceeding the speed of sound in the medium, and the explosives in the reaction zone behind the wave will detonate continuously under high temperature and pressure."

"The linear magnetic field formed by the spiral-shaped wires in the outer shell detonates the explosive from left to right, and the broken outer shell will cause a short circuit with the coil."

"During high-speed movement, the magnetic flux inside the coil is continuously compressed, and the induced current becomes higher and higher, eventually all of which is input into the virtual cathode tube at the end."

…………

"Ultimately, this will create a powerful electromagnetic pulse!"
