Since Ye Qing felt that this kind of repetitive torpedo was a bit like the magic metal ball floating next to the Electromagnetic King.

So why not make it a little more technological?

Completely out of amorphous metal, create an amorphous torpedo.

Perhaps the torpedo is not a good description, and the amorphous metal can change its form at will.

In addition, torpedoes that rely on chemical reaction energy to kill and injure ships are disposable combat weapons. After a loud bang, it will dissolve to pieces.

Ye Qing wanted to have a high-tech weapon that could fight repeatedly, and it should be as quiet as possible during the killing process.

Then the unshaped metal is naturally the best choice, and the name can be changed when the final shape is finalized.

You can also change the shape of a fish and use the fin swing or squid to act as a power, so that it can be completely silent.

The sailfish in the ocean can swim at speeds of up to 60 knots, and the tip of its mouth is a long, slender, bony, sharp spine.

It can easily pierce the shell of a wooden fishing boat as it swims quickly in the sea.

With amorphous metals, it's only going to be faster.

"That'...... What is its weapon system?" Electrocrystal covered his eyes, "Boss, you really don't plan on turning amorphous metal into a blade to cut the hull repeatedly. ”

"Although amorphous metal can turn a blade into a nanometer thickness, the hull armor of a warship is between twenty or thirty millimeters thick, and there is composite armor protection in key parts. If you cut with amorphous metal, you may have to cut for hours. ”

"Even if there were a group of blind people living in the warship, they would be able to follow the sound. ”

"Of course I know that. Ye Qing rubbed his forehead, the amorphous metal is magical, but it is definitely unrealistic to expect tens of kilograms of it to sink a warship of thousands of tons at every turn.

So it was also necessary to install a weapon for the amorphous torpedo.

This weapon should be silent, and it can also cause great damage to warships.

The electromagnetic generator was the first to be abandoned, it fell into the soft-kill range.

"Except for the chemical explosion, then the energy weapon is left. Ye Qing clapped his hands and encouraged the electrocrystals and delicate masters: "We brainstormed to design a subversive weapon for the amorphous torpedo. ”

Without thinking, the Master of Ingenuity said, "It doesn't take much time to think about it, I've seen the destroyer that we towed back, its shell is made of high-strength non-magnetic steel. ”

"Theoretically, this kind of steel can be cut quickly with plasma cutting technology, which is common in industrial processing. ”

"The biggest problem is still stuck in the energy sector. ”

The principle of plasma cutting technology is not complicated, using electric current to generate high-temperature plasma arcs, which are up to several thousand degrees high-temperature arcs, which can quickly melt various alloy metals in the work area. As early as the early days of Ye Qing's business, he used this technology to help a club cut high-strength explosion-proof doors.

So theoretically, even the simplest plasma technology can cut the hull of a warship.

However, energy is conserved, and an amorphous torpedo with a volume of only a few tens of kilograms, even if it carries an energy module that has not yet been developed, it is impossible to sink even a warship of 1,000 tons.

Because the sinking of the ship proceeds slowly, the crew can detect the moment the hull enters the water and take quick remedial action.

"Let me first calculate the amount of energy required to cut one square meter of high-strength non-magnetic steel with plasma cutting technology. The electrocrystal took out the holographic glasses and put them on, and used the formula calculation program that came with them to calculate something.

A few minutes later, the electrocrystal uploaded the results to an electronic screen.

The frigate's high-strength non-magnetic steel shell is 30 millimeters thick, and if you use ultra-high frequency plasma technology with an output power of 9,600 to cut a one-square-meter gap, it will theoretically need to consume 0.5 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

According to the energy storage density of the energy module, the energy module needs to weigh 300 grams to meet the energy consumption of one cutting.

The amorphous torpedo assumes that it carries a 10-kilogram energy module as a power source, and after removing the necessary energy consumption to maintain the deformation of the amorphous metal, it is only enough for an ultra-high frequency plasma cutter to cut a piece of armor of tens of square meters from the hull of a warship.

"It seems to work, but it doesn't seem to work. ”

This energy consumption situation is not difficult for Ye Qing to accept, "Theoretically, if the amorphous torpedo only cuts a small piece of armor, allows yourself to get into it, and destroys important facilities inside the warship, such as ammunition depots or oil depots, there is a high chance that it can succeed." ”

"But what I want is a revolutionary energy weapon. ”

"To get a plasma cutter, we have to have a mini-reactor. ”

Dianjing rolled his eyes, "Boss, we are not Stark Industries, and we can't build a small ark reactor. ”

"Let's face it, Behemoth Industries is currently able to make the most energy-intensive batteries, only energy modules. ”

"No~ The energy module hasn't been built yet. ”

Ark Reactor ......

If there is an ark reactor like the one in the movie, all difficulties will be solved. Not to mention plasma cutting knives, even if it is a high-energy laser, a shock knife can be made for it.

Don't think about the technology of the Ark reactor, this thing violates the principle of conservation of energy.

The most realistic technology is to boil water, and only to miniaturize nuclear reactors.

The miniaturized reactor technology Behemoth Industry is at the forefront of the world, and it is theoretically possible to shrink a reactor to the size of a truck.

But it was still too big, and it was built and placed on a torpedo, and the whole torpedo weighed at least a few hundred tons.

Without nuclear reactors, there is not enough energy to supply weapons systems......

Reactor......

Ye Qing carefully pondered the various possibilities of reactor miniaturization.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ye Qing certainly didn't come up with a result.

But the principle of the nuclear reactor suddenly gave Ye Qing inspiration.

"Dianjing, what is the working temperature of the UHF plasma cutter in the energy consumption formula you just used?"

Dianjing didn't understand why Ye Qing asked this, but it still replied immediately, "The arc temperature is 8000 degrees, of course, this temperature only exists inside the arc." ”

Ye Qing continued to ask, "What is the reactor core temperature limit of the Humpback Whale?"

"Extreme temperatures?"

The boss of this thing should be clear, "Boss, if you mean that the cooling water of the primary circuit is removed, and the core is free to heat up without cooling measures." The reactor core temperature will gradually rise to a limit of more than 3,500 degrees. ”

"In fact, when the core rises to 3,000 degrees, the zirconium alloy fuel rods that we use to seal the nuclear fuel will be slowly melted at high temperatures, and then we will completely lose control of the core. ”

"Boss, you humans have performed the example of the core getting out of control many times, and I don't need to explain how it exploded. ”

Ye Qing laughed, smiling very proudly, making Dianjing on the side feel a little afraid.

"Electrocrystal, you're right, we can't build an Ark Reactor. ”

"But we can use the idea of fuel rods to create a new weapon. ”

Electrocrystal blinked, "What...... What weapons?"

"Uh...... It can be called a nuclear fission knife. ”

"Or it could be called a fission knife. ”
