Chapter 341: A Super Powerful Cannon
PS: Will the giant cannon be too bullish?
——————
Laser weapons are used for air defense, which is not only the main research object of the world's powers, but also the best air defense scheme given by the base, although the laser range is limited, but the efficiency of interceptor missiles is much higher than that of conventional interception means.
Since the invention of the laser in 1960, the idea of turning it into a weapon has never been interrupted. The original laser weapon system used a chemical reaction to produce a laser, which used a large amount of equipment and consumed a large amount of chemical fuel, which was often toxic and required personnel to wear protective clothing.
Solid-state lasers, on the other hand, use glass or ceramic materials to produce a laser beam, which is smaller, more compact, and "emits" light as long as there is an energy input. Of course, the amount of energy it requires is enormous. It is only recently that the lasers emitted by solid-state lasers have reached the level of chemical lasers and are suitable for use in the military field.
Sixty years ago, the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, vigorously carried out the development of anti-aircraft missiles after the end of the Second World War. The development of anti-aircraft missiles has evolved from initially solving the problem that antiaircraft guns cannot hit them, to improving combat efficiency, expanding the scope of operations, and striking all kinds of high, medium, and low, long, medium, and near-range air attack targets, to today's anti-missile and anti-space targets.
Over the past 60 years, air defense missiles have developed to more than three generations, so the missiles after the fourth generation are now called a new generation to adapt to the changes in new tactics and techniques. Nearly 30 countries in the world have carried out the research and development of anti-aircraft missiles, and more than 50 countries and regions have purchased equipment. There are more than 140 types of anti-aircraft missiles, and 80~90 types of equipment are in service. There are nearly 30 species under research and development.
And whether it is the development of anti-aircraft missiles, or the vigorous progress of laser weapon air defense in various countries in recent years. Its purpose has not changed, that is, to perfect and innovate its own means of air defense.
In the world of mutual nuclear deterrence. The environment of conventional warfare, however, is also more important. At present, all the nuclear-armed states in the world have signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, stopped nuclear tests, renounced the development of more advanced nuclear weapons, and worked hard to develop a diversified society with the reduction of nuclear weapons as the core.
Since the use of nuclear weapons is to ensure the destruction of mankind, the resolution of disputes still needs conventional weapons.
In this face-to-face. The United States has always been at the forefront of the world's world. With a scientific and technological level that is nearly a generation ahead of the world, it has always been leading the trend and pattern of military development.
Li Lan naturally has no need to follow the steps of the United States, and in his view, the most effective means are the most perfect.
The establishment of the Shield of Heaven regional air defense network is to ensure the security of the base and the stability of the entire Bagua City.
As long as the war breaks out one day, Bagua City will become the target of the opponent's key attack, and there is no second possibility. It is inevitable to strike at the military-political core of the opposing side. There is also the military-industrial production capacity of the other side, which, in a military confrontation, is a prerequisite strike to the opposite side, as it used to be. It is now, and it will not change in the future.
Bagua City concentrates the future of Li Lan and the future of the whole of Somalia. The core base of all the units is also here, although the base core and console have a way out. But he didn't have time to start from scratch. The Somalis cannot afford another round of war. So, the tortoise shell is already going to be built. Even if you can't win the war, you must ensure that you are invincible.
If this is just a game, then Li Lan's idea is simple, but this is not a game, the built defense facilities are in the game, there are fixed data to measure, but in reality, anything can happen. Therefore, Li Lan never sees his future as the process of a game, the game can be archived, but life can only go on forever, and there is not a second that can be restarted.
Strive to do a good job and strive for better. It has always been Li Lan's motto.
Somalis can celebrate the reunification of the country with joy, but he can't, he is very clear-headed, now is not the time to celebrate by himself, let alone get carried away, behind the complacency, there has always been an abyss, and it is not far from the catastrophe.
Ever since he smelled the smoke of war, Li Lan has never stopped preparing for war. Upgrading the anti-aircraft gun is only part of the preparation, in order to add a little low-altitude defense capability to the base.
Among the major items of defense units, there are many crystallizations of the base's technology, and perhaps in the eyes of the base, it is also the ability to protect itself before it has the offensive ability.
From the sentry cannon and machine gun bunker that started with the primary authority, the defense units of the base have been accompanying Li Lan's development. At the beginning, the base was just a small armed circle, and in the face of the siege of Bossaso government forces and local forces, to be honest, Li Lan would not have been where he is today if it were not for the sentry guns and machine-gun bunkers at that time.
The opponent's artillery forces alone were enough to inflict heavy losses on the base.
Now with advanced authority, Li Lan also has the qualifications to build all defensive weapons. Guangling Tower, Li Lan has completed the construction of the nine Guangling Towers in Bagua City. According to the eight directions of Bagua City, one for each direction, and one in the middle of the Yin and Yang Fish, one was also built.
These nine Guangling Towers, together with anti-aircraft artillery and those defense weapon systems entering the city, will be the base's last air defense network.
At present, the area of Bagua City has been expanding, and the development of this city of more than one million Somalis has never stopped. At present, the nine Guangling Towers are enough to bring all the Bagua City into the defensive range, and the defense circle with a radius of 20 kilometers is formed by the defense circle of the Guangling Tower with a radius of 60 kilometers from the base.
Within the 60-kilometer coverage of the Guangling Tower, as long as the formation of the Guangling Tower is not destroyed, the airspace, sea area, and ground are not destroyed, and the defense capability it has cannot be broken through even by the air force of an integrated wing.
However, the need for electricity to build such an air defense network is also extremely terrifying. If it was placed in intermediate authority, even if Li Lan built a thousand magnetic energy reactors, he would not be able to provide enough power to these defense units.
At present, there are four nuclear reactors in the base, one of which is dedicated to providing power to the weather controller, the remaining two are provided by Bagua City and the base defense units, and the remaining one is to provide power to cities in other regions and two other sub-bases.
The total power generation capacity of the four nuclear reactors has already surpassed that of many developed countries, but this amount of electricity can only barely meet Li Lan's needs.
Especially the weather controller and these defensive weapon units, the terror of the electricity consumption of that. If the current must become a river, then the power consumption of the base's defense weapons is a surging flood that is constantly pouring in and consuming.
The power supply, as in the game, can be reduced to ornamentation as long as it is destroyed.
Li Lan knows this, and the enemy naturally knows this, and in modern warfare, striking at the opponent's power generation facilities is also a very important military means. Even if the enemy was unaware of the shortcomings of the base's current defenses, it did not prevent them from attacking the power plant.
At present, the four nuclear power plants at the base rely mostly on the camouflage capabilities of crack generators, far from the city, in areas that have received little attention. Needless to say, as long as the enemy doesn't know the way, it's very safe. But as long as it is developed by the enemy, the result is quite dangerous.
Li Lan fully considered this when he was building the nuclear reactor, and in the end he chose to build it far away from the base and the city. Because the 10-million-watt reactor in the nuclear reactor was detonated, it was no less powerful than a megaton nuclear bomb explosion. This lethality, once it explodes next to the base and in the city, is lethal enough to destroy everything.
At that time, even if Li Lan wanted to transfer the console, it would be too late. Therefore, it is also possible to keep these four nuclear power plants away from the base, which brings a certain risk, and he is not willing to put these four nuclear power plants within the defense network of the base.
The power supply is cut off, and he still has the ability to resist, if these four nuclear reactors are blown up, then everything is really over.
However, these are only assumptions, and even if the United States wants to destroy the four nuclear reactors, it will not be an easy task, let alone one of the top secrets of the base. It is impossible for outsiders to know the way, even Farah and Mohammadi, who built four nuclear power plants around their lives.
In the defense project, Li Lan also has a powerful killer feature, that is, to agree on a powerful defensive weapon in the game - the giant cannon.
Cannon:
The ultimate defensive counter unit, construction price - 3,200,000 base funds, construction time - fifteen days.
Description: This is a giant electromagnetic cannon, an advanced kinetic killing weapon made of electromagnetic firing technology. It can hit any target within a range of 500 kilometers at a speed of more than 14 times the speed of sound, and has a super space-based strike capability.
It uses the ampere force of the interaction between the track current to launch the projectile out of the projectile, it is composed of two parallel long straight guide rails, a slider with a smaller mass is placed between the guide rails as a projectile, when the two rails are connected to the power supply, a strong current flows from a guide rail, and when the slider flows back from another guide rail, a strong magnetic field is generated between the planes of the two guide rails, and the slider with current is under the action of ampere force, and the projectile will be shot out at a great speed. The greater the mass of the projectile, the greater the kinetic energy, the greater the power, and the greater the energy consumption.
Special note: with the supply of electricity, its rate of fire is capable of reaching 7-12 rounds per minute. Due to its huge size, it can only be installed on the ground.
Suggestion: If you want it to work well, give it enough power, otherwise it will strike at any time. (To be continued......)
