My chapter is going through my cousin this is done out of boredom.

Telsa Weaponry

Sir since our first encounter with the aliens, one thing has always bothered my team and the field soldiers, Our weapons.

Our soldiers require a weapon capable of penetrating the alien defensive mechanism and the only gun capable of doing this is the Colt .508 Revolving Rifle. Sure it is a good gun but all guns have their limits and this one's is one that has plagued all guns since their creation. Recoil, to penetrate the alien force field, the gun needs to chamber a very high caliber and the recoil it generates is enormous.

Now sir with Telsa's electrical technology, we believe we have a solution. Our research indicates that the alien's force fields do not block low velocity objects. We can exploit this to our advantage.

We can use Darwinist airgun technology to propel a metal bullet at below the terminal velocity of the force field generator. The bullet will not do the damage but it will be a tracker for the real damage, the lightning bolts generated by a Telsa Coil.

Sir, give us the funding and we will deliver a weapon base that is more accurate and capable of doing more damage than the ones we are fielding right now.

Telsa Weaponry (Result!)

Sir, thank you for the funding and as thanks we deliver, results! The Telsa weaponry is theoretically possible but we ran into a few problems as we designed it.

Problem one, power supply. The telsa coil requires a powerful electrical energy source to create lightning and we did not have one we could fit on a single person until we remembered, the Heat Ray. We used the replicated power source to generate the electricity. Though this solution will make factory production impossible, it is still possible to build this in usable amounts. The battery alone will allow around a thousand shots per clip.

Problem number two was a little bit trickier, Safety. Electricity tends to go wherever it wants and even though most of the bolts will follow the bullet to the target, some of them may hit the user. This problem was solved by compromising damage. We built a circular metal bar around the barrel to absorb any loose bolts. Of course more bolts will be absorbed then needed but here comes the clever bit, we directed the electricity to the battery charging it in the process. This will double the number of shots fired before recharging.

But problem number three was the worst. The telsa platform was a tricky beast to work with and any useful uses have so many differences, that they have to be researched separately. My team has drawn up theoretical plans and is awaiting funding from you.

Heat Ray Pistol(Result!)

Amazing. These aliens are extremely advanced, Ridiculously so. These pistols use Direct Energy and are the first effective examples of plasma weaponry we have seen. The pistol itself is a wonder of technology. It charges plasma with electricity and ejects it in a stream like a water pistol.

Sadly we cannot replicate this but what we can replicate is its power cell. It is a marvel of power storage technology. The cell itself is capable of storing enough electricity to power our entire base for ten years.

We have drawn up plans to manufacture power cells to power captured alien weaponry.

Force Field (Results)

The bane of our men's existence in this alien war, the alien force field. It is an amazing piece of work, an electromagnetic generator that pushes away bullets. Simple yet effective, the generator is easily built even by Darwinist standards but the problem is powering it. It needs power cells and according to our research, the aliens use interchangeable cells to power their technology so we're home free.

Little insight

In this universe the assassination of Alex's parents did happen but war did not break out. The harsh feeling boiled over and instead the war is a secret one of sabotage. Alex is still living in the palace as a prince since the king did not have an excuse to off him and as soon as an old man died the letter would be made known. The Leviathan is still on a mission to the Ottoman Empire to curry favor instead.

The science in this thing is not real. I bulled most of it.

And please if you don't like my story please tell me why so I can fix it. I am not a drama king? Queen? I just like ham.
