In the afternoon, Yang Jie also saw this very large electromagnetic cannon device in an experimental building of the R&D center.

The reason why this electromagnetic gun turret with a long barrel weighs hundreds of tons, and the reason why it is so large is mainly because the electromagnetic gun uses a superconducting coil, which requires a cryogenic cooling system, which is very complex and sophisticated.

It is impossible to use permanent magnets and electromagnets for this kind of electromagnetic gun, because the maximum magnetic field strength of these materials is only a few T, which is far from enough.

This electromagnetic cannon uses high-temperature superconducting materials developed in China, and the liquid nitrogen cooling system does not need to manufacture extremely low temperatures, and the power consumption is lower.

Of course, this system also requires a millisecond-level high-power output system to accelerate a specially crafted projectile to a speed of at least 5 times the speed of sound in a few milliseconds.

Now this device can dry the muzzle kinetic energy to 50 megajoules, the maximum discharge speed has reached 5,000 kilometers per second, and the firing range has reached more than 400 kilometers!

The R&D center is specially equipped with a higher power pulse power supply system for this purpose, which can reach a continuous rate of fire of 6 shells per minute, and can carry out rapid fire of dozens of shells.

The energy consumed by this electromagnetic cannon is too great, and its size and weight are obviously larger than any traditional naval gun that the navy has ever equipped, and if you add the supporting power supply, under-deck bomb supply and rotation system, control system, gun aiming radar and other equipment, only a 10,000-ton ship can fit it.

This is just stuffed, if you want to use laser weapons, you need more power supply, and the size of the ship on board must be larger.

Yang Jie didn't let the R&D center move this set of electromagnetic guns outside for test firing, because it was still too troublesome to test it once.

However, he still visited the previous electromagnetic cannon that pierced dozens of thick steel plates with cannonballs, and saw that these steel plates a few centimeters thick were pierced and deformed by shells in the middle, and he was also emotional.

In the 80s of the last century, military research and development institutions developed electromagnetic guns, but at that time the projectile was only the size of peanuts, and now the projectile designed and developed in China has increased to more than ten kilograms.

After seeing the special projectiles developed by these military research institutes, he also really felt the tremendous progress made in electromagnetic cannon technology in China.

The shape of these projectiles is blown out in the ultra-high-speed arc wind tunnel, and these research and development institutions have also spent a lot of effort.

Of course, now this set of electromagnetic guns will continue to complete various technical tests on the ground, and it will definitely need to be optimized and improved in the middle.

The navy naturally hopes that this system can be put on board as soon as possible, and for this reason, the navy also handed over a decommissioned tank landing ship to the Honghu Shipbuilding Group Company for renovation and design, and then installed this set of electromagnetic guns for various sea surface tests.

After all, there is a very wide dock compartment under the deck of the tank landing ship, which can weld the dock door, and conveniently arrange various power supply equipment underneath, and the hull structure of the tank landing ship is very strong, which can withstand the huge recoil force when the electromagnetic gun is fired, because it has a hard middle deck that runs through the front and back.

This kind of ship is wide and strong, and Honghu Shipbuilding Group has produced this kind of ship before, the drawings are complete, and the transformation cost is also the lowest.

However, after this set of electromagnetic guns is installed, it will take at least several years of testing and verification, and it is not in a hurry.

After staying in Honghu City for two days, Yang Jie went to the shipbuilding base on Xuejiadao in the north to inspect the first light aircraft carrier designed and built by the Honghu Shipbuilding Group Company itself. Seek the magic TXT

Now the aircraft carrier has entered the late stage of segmented splicing, and now it can be seen in the dry dock the prototype of this light aircraft carrier, at this time the aircraft carrier is surrounded by a large number of scaffolding, Yang Jie can also see the construction personnel are working on intense welding when he inspected.

Yang Jie, who was wearing a helmet, also boarded the aircraft carrier for inspection, surrounded by everyone.

Below the flight deck is a large, multi-purpose warehouse space that can be used as a hangar or for vehicles, supplies, separated by detachable compartments, one side as a hangar and the other as a parking deck for light vehicles.

Although this warehouse space has not been renovated in various ways, the 1,000-square-meter hangar still looks very large.

The hangar is designed to accommodate 12 medium helicopters or 8 light VTOL fighters.

In addition, there is a lot of space in front of the hangar to store goods or light transport, and the area of the light vehicle garage is not small, which can accommodate 100 light vehicles, and can also accommodate a lot of armored vehicles.

There is also a 1,410-square-metre garage for heavy tanks below the hangar and light vehicle deck, which can accommodate up to 46 heavy tanks.

Vehicles parked on the ship can be directly connected to the outside of the ship through the ramp entrance and exit on each side, and have the function of driving in and out.

When purely serving as an aircraft carrier, the partition can also be dismantled, and the space of the light vehicle garage can also be included in the hangar, and conversely, all the space of the hangar can be used to accommodate vehicles and materials for pure transportation work.

The design team of Honghu Shipbuilding Group also referred to the design schemes of some mature light aircraft carriers when designing, and put a lot of effort into space utilization.

Yang Jie then also came to the main cabin deck, which includes the personnel living quarters, medical cabins, galleys, offices, etc., and there are personnel cabins below the hangar deck.

According to the design plan, the aircraft carrier has complete medical facilities, including three operating rooms, wards, X-ray rooms, tomographic rooms, etc.

Because the degree of automation of various equipment is very high when this aircraft carrier is designed, the number of personnel of this aircraft carrier is not very large, and Honghu Shipbuilding Group Company only has more than 200 crew members.

In addition to the ship's personnel, the light aircraft carrier has an air crew of 170 personnel, which can carry more than 100 amphibious commanders and a Marine battalion of more than 300 people, with the possibility of adding 100 personnel if necessary.

If carried in a high-density manner, the aircraft carrier design has the capacity to carry more than 1,300 landing troops at most, which is equivalent to a full battalion.

And the aircraft carrier also has a large dock, capable of accommodating two air-cushion landing craft or four landing craft, which can achieve surface landing and helicopter landing. Such force is enough for a small and medium-sized country to deal with a low-intensity war.

Yang Jie then also boarded the flight deck, and now the ship island has not been spliced, but the wide flight deck area above is still very large.

The aircraft carrier is designed to have two aircraft lifts on its flight deck, one in front of the island and the other at the end of the flight deck, although the lifts have not yet been installed.

Yang Jie also asked the person in charge of the supervision about the space left on the flight deck for these self-defense weapon systems.

Subsequently, the person in charge and other personnel also led Yang Jie to these locations where the weapon system would be installed in the future.
