Electromagnetic kinetic energy weapons, or collectively referred to as electromagnetic guns, are advanced kinetic energy killing weapons made using electromagnetic emission technology. Unlike traditional cannons, which act on the projectile with gunpowder gas pressure, electromagnetic guns use the ampere force generated by the electromagnetic field in the electromagnetic system to accelerate the metal cannonballs to achieve the kinetic energy required to hit the target. An electromagnetic cannon is a weapon that uses electromagnetic force to fire cannonballs along a rail. It is mainly composed of three parts: energy, accelerator, and switch. The energy source is usually a device that can store 10~100 megajoules of energy. At present, the energy sources used in the experiment include battery packs, magnetic flux compression devices, and unipolar generators, among which monopole generators are the most promising energy sources.

The accelerator is a device that converts electromagnetic energy into the kinetic energy of the cannonball, so that the cannonball can reach high speed. There are two main categories: railgun accelerators powered by low-voltage DC unipolar generators and coaxial synchrotrons with discrete or continuous coil structures. A switch is a device that connects energy to an accelerator and can introduce a megaampere current into the accelerator in a matter of milliseconds, one of which consists of two copper rails and a slider that slides through it.

This kind of weapon can be said to be the weapon of the next era, and it is the mainstream of research by military scientists in various countries.

But in fact, its prototype came out a long time ago.

In the 19th century, the British scientist Faraday discovered Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, which indicates that the charge and current in the magnetic field will be affected by the Lorentz force, that is, the wire located in the magnetic field will be pushed by a force when it is energized, and at the same time, if the wire is cut in the magnetic field, the current will also be generated on the wire. At the beginning of the 20th century, the idea of using the Lorentz force to launch artillery shells was proposed. In both world wars, electromagnetic guns were studied in France, Germany, and Japan. After the Second World War, other countries also carried out studies in this area.

In 1845, Charles Wheatstone built the world's first reluctance DC motor and used it to eject a metal rod up to 20 meters away. After that, the German mathematician Kirby put forward the idea of using electromagnetic propulsion to make an "electric cannon".

The first to formally propose the concept of electromagnetic launch/electromagnetic cannon and conduct experiments was Berkland, a professor of physics at the University of Oslo in Norway. He received a patent for "electric artillery" in 1901. In 1920, the French Fochon Villepleur published the article "Electric Artillery". Almost at the same time, the Electric Gun Company in Philadelphia, Citigroup, developed an electromagnetic accelerator for artillery. During World War II, stimulated by military needs, Germany and Japan both developed electromagnetic guns. Germany's Hansley once accelerated a 10-gram projectile to a muzzle velocity of 1.2 km/s with an electromagnetic cannon.

In the early 70s of the 20th century, the Australian National University built the first electromagnetic launcher that accelerated a 3-gram plastic block (shell) to a speed of 6000 m / s. Since then, Australian and American scientists have built different types of experimental prototypes and conducted many launch experiments. The electromagnetic gun, powered by a monopole generator, has been able to accelerate a 318-gram shell to a speed of 4,200 m/s. The flux compression cannon has been able to accelerate a 2-gram projectile to a speed of 11,000 m/s.

In the 70s of the 20th century, Dr. Charred Marshall of the Australian National University used new technology to accelerate a 3-gram projectile to 5.9 km/s. This achievement experimentally proves that it is possible to propelle objects to ultra-high speeds with electromagnetic force. After the announcement of the experiment in 1978, it attracted special attention from the military of various countries, and the Citigroup Defense Committee came to the conclusion that "the high-performance weapons of the future will inevitably be based on electrical energy." The Citi Department of Defense has established a Joint Committee on Electromagnetic Artillery to coordinate the scattered research of electric artillery among the military, the Department of Energy, the Defense Atomic Energy Agency and the Strategic Defense Initiative.

In 1980, Citigroup Westinghouse built an experimental electromagnetic cannon for "Star Wars", which accelerated a shell with a mass of 300 grams to about 4 kilometers per second, and in a vacuum, this speed can be increased to 8~10 kilometers per second. Of course, the most successful of these experiments was Citigroup, which in 1992 pushed a 90-millimeter-caliber electromagnetic cannon with a muzzle kinetic energy of 9 megajoules to the Yuma Range for testing. The electromagnetic cannon from the laboratory to the shooting range shows that the technology of power miniaturization has made a breakthrough.

But it's one thing to have a breakthrough in technology, and all the ideas for electromagnetic weapons are still stuck in a few problems.

The first is the problem of energy storage, where electrical energy is stored and, when transmitted, a huge current is released instantaneously. It is necessary not only to store a lot of electric energy, but also to release it quickly, but also to be small in size and light in weight. The second is high-temperature superconductivity, which can avoid the large and complicated deep refrigeration system. This reduces the size and weight. The third is the problem of orbital deformation, since the shell can be pushed to such a high speed instantaneously, then the same force will also act on the orbit, causing orbital deformation and causing difficulties for the next launch.

For all the above three problems, each solution is often to increase the volume and weight, however, the increase in volume and weight means that there is no practical value, so not only can not be increased, but also the weight must be reduced, and the volume should be reduced. This is where the shell gets stuck.

And the individual soldier...... That is even less likely to happen at the moment. Now it is recognized that it is more mature, it is the electromagnetic cannon system on the destroyer, which uses the destroyer's powerful power generation capacity to supply energy, and it cannot fully realize the actual combat application.

For example, in China, although individual weapons are not realistic, the progress of the development and testing of domestic electromagnetic guns can be described as very rapid, not only has been installed on the sea test platform first, and the follow-up run-in with the platform and sea tests are reported to be in progress. At the same time, the news that various domestic electromagnetic guns will be applied to 055 destroyers in the future is also becoming more and more popular, and many military enthusiasts even regard the 055 destroyer as the preferred practical platform for domestic electromagnetic guns in the future. However, it must be recognized that the reality is very cruel, and the domestic electromagnetic cannon is still far from being miniaturized, or that there is no progress in the miniaturization of electromagnetic guns in all countries in the world, and if China wants to preemptively apply electromagnetic guns in the future, it may be necessary to build a 20,000-ton cruiser or even a revival battleship.

At present, there are two main options for the imaginary electromagnetic guns of various countries. The first is mainly based on the existing platform, and the corresponding modification is carried out to give it the basis for the installation and use of electromagnetic guns, more typical examples include China's 072 experimental platform and the Pioneer class landing ship modification in Citigroup's program. The second requires the installation of electromagnetic guns in the design of warships, that is, Citigroup's Zumwalt-class destroyers and the "all-round ships" in the mouth of Academician Ma Weiming. Although the two schemes have different development ideas, the former is a temporary choice after all, and the electromagnetic gun will still need a 10,000-ton ship like the Zumwalt class to play the greatest role in the future.

Although the 055 destroyer is large enough, it is expected that after the installation of electromagnetic guns, it may still be difficult to avoid the image of small ships resisting large artillery. Moreover, although the power system of the 055 destroyer has made great progress compared with the previous model, it is still far from the electric propulsion system specially used to adapt electromagnetic catapults and electromagnetic guns in the United States and Britain. In addition, it is worth mentioning that although it is possible to install electromagnetic guns on Zumwalt-class destroyers, considering the progress of the miniaturization of Citigroup's electromagnetic guns, Citigroup's electromagnetic guns will still be installed on the "Ticandai" ship in the future. This means that if China wants to actually deploy its electromagnetic guns, it may have to build 20,000-ton cruisers to provide enough power and space for the electromagnetic guns.

On top of that, nuclear-powered warships can also provide an almost endless amount of energy for electromagnetic guns, but this also means that the size of the warship will increase even further. The electromagnetic cannon redefines the mode of naval warfare, and will also redefine the design of the warship, and the electromagnetic gun will be on the warship in the future is the inevitable trend of the development of the times. The 055 destroyer may still be the strongest destroyer in the world today, but in the future, or the main force of future naval warfare, it will still belong to the Ticandai and the all-rounder, which are large warships between cruisers and battle cruisers.

So when the soldiers of Citigroup took out that "electromagnetic weapon", everyone's eyes were on it.

"Damn, it's really a single electromagnetic weapon!" Even Li Huan, who was far away at sea, saw it with Xiao Fei's machine: "This thing, the reefback turtle should be able to withstand it, right?"

The most powerful thing about electromagnetic weapons is their penetrating power.

Don't think of the depth of penetration as simply proportional to the speed, when the speed is fast to a certain extent, the average steel that is most commonly used to estimate the depth of penetration will not be armor at all, in the imagination, the shells of the electromagnetic cannon will be as random as a knife cutting butter whether it is against alloy armor or civil fortifications. To give a simple example, Citigroup used the Miremann B electromagnetic gun in 92 to launch a plastic projectile weighing only a few hundred grams and penetrated a steel plate more than 100 mm thick, which is equivalent to the penetration of the famous German 88 gun in World War II, and this initial velocity is not very high, and there is still a large distance from the design index of the electromagnetic gun of the Citigroup Navy. In the blueprint of the electromagnetic cannon of the Citigroup Navy, this electromagnetic cannon that is entering the practical stage can have a range of thousands of kilometers, enter the atmosphere with a high trajectory, and destroy permanent fortifications tens of meters deep like a meteorite.

Obviously, in the current situation - at a distance of a few hundred meters, it is not possible to hit the ...... It's not a problem.

If it was an ordinary ordinary military standard weapon, Li Huan was not worried at all, but in the face of this electromagnetic weapon composed of penetration and power, Li Huan was a little worried.

But it's too late to worry now, the distance is so far, he has no way to take it back in time - even if Li Huan can take it back, Colonel Henry has suffered such a big loss and lost such a big face, he obviously doesn't intend to make this huge turtle better than yes, so after the team of 5 people in the unit assembled the weapon, they immediately entered the battle formation. At the command of Colonel Henry, the elongated weapon silently shot a bullet that rippled the air.

It really made the air ripple, it seems that the research of Citigroup's hacker weapon is very smooth and very successful, and the power of electromagnetic weapons lies in its speed. As long as the speed reaches a certain level, any armor is like paper, and the weapon that can cause ripples in the air is at least ten times the speed of sound. And electromagnetic weapons also have the advantage that they are silent when they shoot, just like those powerful weapons that are earth-shattering when they are launched or activated, electromagnetic weapons are almost silent when they are fired.

Not even the recoil, the weapon that looked like an anti-materiel sniper rifle was just lightly flicked the button, and the ripples that were enough to tear the air began to ripple - it didn't matter if they aimed or not at this distance, the ripples were discharged and hit the still angry reefback turtle.

Airplanes!

That's right, although electromagnetic weapons do not win with impact power, and they do not have any explosive power, but when the projectile it launches collides with a hard object, it will inevitably produce a huge shock wave and a high-frequency piercing sound wave. Everyone saw with their own eyes that the small projectile hit the huge turtle-like monster that was crawling in anger, and then a circle of ripples erupted on the back of the turtle, which was a ripple in the air that was visible to the naked eye! After the ripple exploded, a huge wave of air rolled up, blowing away the sand around the reefback turtle!

It shows the great impact of this weapon!

After Li Huan saw that the electromagnetically propelled projectile hit the reefback turtle, he hurriedly contacted the reefback turtle in the spiritual power channel, fortunately, what happened to the reefback turtle, even Li Huan underestimated his defense too much, as a natural disaster-level demonic beast, although the reefback turtle is a minor, but its defense is not something that ordinary things can break - of course, the power of electromagnetic weapons is indeed not small, but it is miniaturized to the point that this kind of single-man weapon is obviously unable to break through the reefback turtle's defense. Perhaps the reefback turtle's defenses can be broken by electromagnetic weapons, at least the kind of large electromagnetic cannon that comes with the destroyer.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Huan sighed: "Okay, okay, I was shocked just now, but I didn't expect Citigroup's black technology to be really powerful, and it really stimulated a projectile, and the power is not small." Fortunately, my reefback turtle has a relatively high defense...... But now that the calf is over, the reefback turtle is really...... This must have been its first injury...... Oops, it's really angry, we're rushing to the beach, I'm going to get it back!"

After speaking, Li Huan turned the bow of the speedboat again, and the throttle was pushed to the maximum Mali, he had to rush directly onto the beach, otherwise it would really cause a big accident.

When Li Huan was communicating with the reefback turtle in the spiritual power connection channel, he found that this little guy was really angry. This time, it wasn't just going to make a defense of energy feedback, but it was going to kill everything in its sight. Don't think that the reefback turtle is just a simple and very powerful defensive beast - a natural disaster-level magical beast, which itself is synonymous with insolvability.

When the projectile fired by the electromagnetic weapon collided with the reefback turtle, Li Huan carefully checked the state of the reefback turtle, although the reefback turtle itself was not harmed, but after all, the electromagnetic weapon has been studied by humans for so long, and it is a futuristic weapon, and its power cannot be underestimated. So this time the reefback turtle did not appear unharmed, but was really injured for the first time. Of course, it doesn't seem right to say that you were injured - it was just that the sword protrusion that was directly hit by the electromagnetic rifle was broken! The juvenile reefback turtle has a juvenile reefback turtle with a juvenile sword protrusion on its back, which is a means to protect itself before its defense is fully completed. Being able to knock out a sword protrusion, Citigroup's electromagnetic rifle is really powerful.

Although Li Huan is sincerely praising Hua Qiguo's black technology, but if Colonel Henry hears this, he definitely thinks that you are still laughing at him, why? The electromagnetic rifle carried by the soldier is already the blackest black technology in Citigroup, it uses super-nuclear elements to provide energy, and it can be filled with enough energy to shoot in a short period of time, although it cannot be fired continuously, but this weapon has been tested when it was produced, and it can easily penetrate the M1A1 main battle tank that Citigroup is now equipped with the army- When the two are lined up.

But the catastrophic level of the monster has its own dignity, even if it is a juvenile reefback turtle, if it breaks one of its sword protrusions, the person who does it must die - and Li Huan sensed from the reefback turtle's angry mind that it was going to kill the entire people on the beach, so Li Huan had no choice but to rush to the beach as fast as possible, and then take the reefback turtle back into the pet space and let it slowly calm down.

When the sand brought up by the shock wave fell, Colonel Henry originally thought that the reefback turtle was dead—it had to die, and there was nothing in this world that had two main battle tanks together with higher defense!

Colonel Henry felt like his worldview was collapsing.

"What about Mr. Colonel?It will take three minutes for our weapons to be recharged, shall we continue to attack or what should we do?" Not only Colonel Henry felt that his worldview had collapsed, but the group of 5 people who had just fired also felt that his worldview had collapsed, they were able to use this weapon naturally tested, and they also knew its power, at such a close distance, the armor of the two main battle tanks could penetrate it, and it was impossible to kill a big turtle?

Of course, any black technology has its own backwardness, for example, although this single soldier's electromagnetic rifle can excite a very powerful projectile, but it is charged by converting it into electrical energy towards elemental energy, although the charging speed is fast, but the gun itself cannot withstand this charging and heating, and must be cooled. Therefore, it cannot be activated all the time, which means that he must have a cooldown time after each projectile fired.

But it looked like the big turtle that had been knocked off its back armor didn't seem to be ready to give them time to cool down - the big turtle looked at its broken sword, and its eyes turned red. And, the mouth began to let out a burst of roars, and the body began to become more fresh

Red.

"Look at what, the second group will come up for me, and you must kill this monster on the spot!" The first group cools the rifles, the second group and the third group fire continuously, and you are not allowed to stop without my order!" Henry looked the huge turtle up and down, his eyes were red, his body became more red, he was scared in his own heart, and after giving another order, he took out his large exaggerated revolver from the right and aimed it at the reefback turtle: "It's just a genetically modified product, I want to see how many attacks you can withstand." Since the electromagnetic rifle can break your sword, then I'll come with a hundred rounds, and if you can't kill with a hundred rounds, you will come with a thousand rounds!"

Colonel Henry was almost roaring out of rage now.

He didn't expect it, but it was just a dismount, and things had already happened to such an uncontrollable state, even the blackest technology electromagnetic rifle could not be used to eliminate this big turtle. Of course, Colonel Henry also discovered that although the electromagnetic rifle could cause damage to this monster, it did very little damage. The shot just now hit the monster's xiphoid protrusion, interrupting the xiphoid protrusion, but the xiphoid protrusion was originally protruding from the back armor alone, and the structural strength must be weaker, so it is still unknown whether the electromagnetic rifle can kill this thing.

But he is right about one thing, quantitative changes can always produce qualitative changes, one shot can't kill, then a hundred shots, a hundred rounds are useless, then a thousand, ten thousand rounds - this is an unbreakable truth.

Of course, although this theory is correct, Henry never thought that he simply did not have that much time. The beach was too small, and the angry reefback turtle was moving desperately forward, and although it was slow, it was not very difficult to cross the distance of a few hundred meters. Besides, in Colonel Henry's theory, if one shot doesn't work, it will cost a hundred, but a few combat teams here only bring a few of these individual electromagnetic rifles, and they have to bomb hundreds of rounds in a row, counting the cooldown time, it is impossible for the reefback turtle to lie there for half a day without moving!

He got up from the beach and looked at Admiral Kelsen coldly: "General Kaiercheng, don't you have anything to say? We are here to do adaptive training, not to let your subordinates do disadvantage for everyone! Even if he wants to give us a dismount, I think his goal has been achieved, is it appropriate to continue making trouble like this now? I suggest that you restrain your subordinates and stop the current attack immediately!"

"That's right. After translating Monk Chen's words once, Shangguan Jian himself said: "We already know that Citi Country's weapons technology in this world is indeed the first in the world. We haven't researched this kind of small-scale individual electromagnetic rifle until now, and we now know that Citigroup is equipped with such advanced weapons, and your goal has been achieved to make everyone stop. If this continues, we are afraid that things will get out of hand. ”

"That's right, are you crazy? or Mr. Chen? We kindly invite you to participate in adaptive training, let you explore that world first, you see what you have done, at the beginning on the beach, your soldiers were arrogant and domineering, occupied everyone's territory, and then provoked this kind of monster, you tell me how to solve this matter now!" Han Jianguo stood up and patted off the sand from his hair, and the sand raised by the impact just now almost covered the entire beach.

Admiral Kelsen was now speechless with a dark face.

As a four-star general of Citigroup, and one of the few supreme commanders of the armed forces on this earth, he has never been scolded by someone pointing at him. How to say it, although Monk Chen didn't name and scold when he spoke, the dissatisfaction in their words was about to break through the sky. Admiral Kelsen is not stupid, how could he not hear it, now these people are pointing all the fingers at themselves, a good plan to dismount, and the result has evolved into this uncontrolled scene.

But God testifies that he never imagined that the scene would become so uncontrollable, he felt that as long as it was a living organism, whether it was genetically modified or not, it would always be minced under the indiscriminate bombardment of various weapons. But now it seemed that the situation was beyond his expectations, not only did the terrifying creature not suffer any damage under the bombardment of various weapons, but even their most advanced individual electromagnetic rifle took out and hit the monster straight away, only one of the sword protrusions on its back armor were removed, and Admiral Kelsen felt that he was about to go crazy.

If time can be reversed, he will definitely not issue that kind of order a few minutes ago, what to kill this monster, it is best to let him pass by safely, but God testifies who would know that this monster's ability to resist blows is so strong, it has been strong to the point of perversion......

"I ...... It's true that our soldiers mishandled it, but now is not the time to talk about it! we have to find a way to deal with that monster now!" Admiral Kelsen's face was cloudy for a long time, and if it was usual, he might have flicked his sleeves and left. But now he can't do this, because in normal times, he can leave Citigroup with his sleeves up, and he can find it from other ways without losing face. But this time is different, this time the adaptation training and the entrance to that world are in the hands of China, and he is tantamount to giving up this place if he leaves now.

If this is the case, whether he is in matters or not, he will not have good fruit to eat after returning home, so Admiral Kelsen can only have a black face, and he does not want to face - Admiral Kelson guessed that this monster must be something released by the Chinese military to show their face, and since he confessed it, then the Chinese will definitely get it away, otherwise the Citigroup soldiers who have already formed a formation on the beach will definitely be wiped out.

Unexpectedly, Admiral Kelsen had already confessed, but the admiral in the white military uniform shook his head: "We don't know, you think this thing was summoned by us, you are wrong, and we don't know where it came from." Maybe you don't believe what I say, but I swear by the honor of my military career, this thing really wasn't summoned by us, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

"If it has nothing to do with you, then who does it have to do with it, don't tell me that this terrible monster crawled out of the deep sea on its own!" Admiral Kelsen was stunned.

"If you want to say that it has nothing to do with me, it has a little bit to do with it, but this is really not a means of our military, do you see ......" Monk Chen pointed towards a speedboat that washed up on the beach: "If you have to say that it has anything to do with us, then I can tell you that this is his personal thing, and I don't know where he got it." If you want to say that this big turtle crawled out of the deep sea, to be honest, I don't believe it, have you forgotten? When we had a meeting in the hut, did Li Huan ever say that we should prepare something for weapons testing, I guess he got it. ”

"Hurry up and get his assistant, don't you see that our soldiers are starting to crumble all over the beach?" Admiral Kelsen gasped.

"You may be mistaken, didn't you listen to what I said just now? This thing is not something we can control at all, it is not our military's thing, but Li Huan's personal belongings, if you can control it, only Li Huan himself can control it on the entire beach. As for why this big turtle suddenly went berserk, I think Admiral Kelsen probably knows better than anyone else. Monk Chen squinted his eyes and watched Li Huan jump off the speedboat and run wildly towards the reefback turtle, and his heart felt relieved: "How can I say it, when I told you to stop, I didn't stop, and I caused something by myself, now it's okay, what do you think? But don't worry, I guarantee that Li Huan is not the kind of person who rushes to kill everything, he will definitely solve this matter, but when it will be solved, or how to solve it, it is only up to him......

Admiral Kelsen looked at the Citigroup soldiers rolling in the ground on the beach because of the ultrasonic waves generated by the impact of the electromagnetic projectile just now, and his heart was cold—what stupid thing did he do?
