The future weapon-laser weapon

by Weiyu Li

I believe almost everyone can imagine what laser weapon would like because of the future war films such as Star-Wars or Independence Day. The amazing outlook and the giant power must be the main goal of the weapon company today.

The laser weapon is using the laser which contains the high energy to hit the target in long distance or intercept the missiles from the enemies. The laser weapons mainly cost the electricity so the cheap cost is the reason why it is mainly focused of researching. However, this weapon has the critical defect as well. The laser weapon will easily be influenced by the condition of the weather such as fog, rain, snow. After that, the condition of the atmosphere can affect the laser weapon as well. The thermal blooming or atmospheric disturbance and other things can also decrease the power of the laser or even let it disappear.
 Several things make the laser weapon has such an enormous power. First of all, the high temperature of the point focused by the laser weapon could easily melt the shell of most things. Also, the force of the laser beam could make the target shape change. Last, the x-ray and the ultraviolet ray could damage the inner parts of the electric products which is the most deadly point to modern military weapons.
