Chapter 876: Enhanced Giant Cannon
"What's the catch?"
Leaving the last fortress, on the helicopter, Li Lan asked.
"Except for the shock that the fortress itself brought me, other aspects, lackluster." Ling Liang's answer was very direct.
When Li Lan heard this, he just smiled at Ling Liang's attitude and said, "Do you think that people and Americans are already equipped with these things like the ones we are looking at today, so you have this idea?" ”
"Isn't it?" Ling Liang glanced at Li Lan, and said with three points of anger: "These scientists will only rely on the old and sell the old, after so many years, they will come up with these things to fool us, they are simply a bunch of bastards, if it weren't for their hard work, I would definitely not spare them." ”
"Haha......" After laughing, Li Lan shook his head and said: "You wronged them, many years ago, our electromagnetic cannon technology was already very mature, but I never chose equipment, because the electromagnetic cannon at that time could not meet my requirements at all." ”
Ling Liang asked curiously, "Why?" ”
"Because at that time, the electromagnetic cannon shells could not bend, and the accuracy was very poor." Li Lan said.
Ling Liang's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be interested and asked, "Then the current electromagnetic cannon shells can hit accurately?" ”
Li Lan nodded and acknowledged Ling Liang's words, but he didn't continue. Ling Liang on the side was a little surprised, the reason why the electrothermochemical cannon was developed earlier was only because the electrothermochemical cannon still uses charge shells, which is not much different from ordinary artillery in essence.
But the railgun is different, using solid shells, to put it bluntly, it is a steel. And to hit the target three hundred kilometers away, but also to find the target. And the high-precision control technology that ensures accurate hitting the target. the ability of artillery shells to withstand huge accelerations, etc. Due to the fact that the distance from the target is more than three hundred kilometers, this gun cannot be aimed like an ordinary barrel. And aerodynamic correction is required, and when the shell reaches the air, it must be corrected by instructions from satellites in the direction of its operation. At the same time, the acceleration of the shell when it is discharged is 50,000 times that of the Earth's gravity, and the electronics carried on the shell must withstand this acceleration. In addition, it was difficult to move the rotor at high speed in the barrel.
If you want to make the railgun exert the power of imagination, it must be able to accurately hit the target, otherwise no matter how good the weapon is, it will be in vain, and it is very difficult to achieve such excellent combat performance.
The cannon can do this kind of work lightly. The shells are not fired in a straight line, of course, the premise is that there must be a satellite for guidance, otherwise the shells will either penetrate the ground or fly out of the atmosphere, becoming a weapon that can only attack in a straight line.
It seems easy to use the giant cannon as a reference, but it is very difficult to develop, and it is only recently that it has become an eyebrow. Otherwise, Li Lan would not be so interested.
"Are these weapons in production?" Ling Liang said.
"Some of them are already in production and can be equipped with troops one after another." Li Lan said as she turned on her phone. Pull the screen into the air in front of you, point to a towering mountain on the screen and say, "This is Amba Soyla Peak, and I built four cannons on it." ”
When Ling Liang heard this, his eyes lit up. But it soon dimmed, and he said: "It is more than 1,500 kilometers from Israel, and it is located to the west. Although the muzzle velocity of the cannonball's shells can hit that far, it is under the gravitational pull of the earth. I'm afraid that the power will be reduced to a very low level, and the lethality will be reduced a lot. ”
"Normally, that's true. If the giant cannon wants to hit the satellites in the sky, it must fire shells to the east, with the help of the earth's gravitational acceleration, but the current giant cannon is not the previous giant cannon, the giant cannon has been upgraded a long time ago, and the new giant cannon has the characteristics of heavy artillery, with a higher initial velocity and a longer strike range. Speaking of this, Li Lan paused for a moment and continued: "Theoretically, it is possible to directly reach the first cosmic velocity, 1,500 kilometers, and it only takes 200 seconds. ”
Looking at the look of joy on Ling Liang's face, Li Lan was very satisfied with her reaction, the giant cannon was promoted after being upgraded to the ultimate authority, and many weapons had been upgraded at that time.
If it weren't for the fact that the combat effect of the giant cannon was at the tactical level, it would never have been used, and Li Lan would not have been hiding it all the time. Of course, this is also because of the restrictions on the use of giant cannons, which require a lot of electricity and cannot be built outside the country, otherwise Li Lan would have moved the giant cannons over during the Vietnam War.
Now that the ability of the giant cannon has been greatly improved, and Israel is among the combat targets in the selection of targets, Li Lan remembered the huge artillery built on the highest mountain range in Eritrea in order to control the Suez Canal.
The solid artillery shells that have reached the first cosmic velocity are far more lethal than all conventional weapons in service, and the Air Force's powerful fortress smasher penetrating bombs are far less effective than the giant cannons.
The most powerful part of the giant cannon is not the lethality, but the speed and efficiency of the strike, the giant cannon can quickly fire shells, and it only takes four or five minutes to attack targets more than a thousand kilometers away, and under this efficiency, compared with the bomber's bombardment back and forth for two or three hours, the strike frequency of the giant cannon is dozens of times higher.
Of course, the firing range of the giant cannon is not endless, and the ultimate firing range is within the range of two thousand kilometers. (All the black technology in this book is pure gorgeous nonsense, don't take it seriously)
"Is the cannon reliable?" Ling Liang asked suddenly.
"Ugh!" Li Lan was stunned immediately, he had really never thought about this problem, because the base had never let him down, all the numbers of the giant cannon were given by the base, and he had not tested it at all, and for a while he really didn't know how to answer Ling Liang's question. I can only say embarrassedly: "I haven't played it yet, but it's not too late to give it a try, anyway, there is no need to keep it secret." ”
Looking at Li Lan's embarrassment, Ling Liang looked like he wanted to laugh and said, "Then try it." ”
Upon returning to the base, an order was quickly delivered, and the navy immediately towed a reinforced target ship towards the Indian Ocean.
Three hours later, the target ship was 100 kilometers away from the east coastline of Somalia, and one of the two quiet buildings in the Surud Mountains began to move, and the roof-like roof structure dissolved to both sides, revealing two 24-meter-long guide rails, and a three-meter-long tungsten steel rod weighing 80 kilograms appeared in the middle of the guide rail, and the signal lights on the guide rails were lit up in turn.
In the base, Ling Liang and Li Lan were standing on the control platform, and Li Lan controlled the attack alone, without anyone's cooperation, and the task of the assistant was to assist Li Lan in completing the huge artillery strike.
On the sea in the distance, the naval personnel who left the target ship continued to maneuver the target ship to sail quickly several hundred meters away from the target ship, which was the order they received.
"The number of satellites was successfully connected, the target lock was completed, the target distance was 624 kilometers, the speed was 28 knots, the horizontal and vertical distance was 2453 meters, the actual flight distance was ***, the flight time of the shell was 110 seconds, and the aerodynamic force number was corrected ......"
After the assistant made a simple pre-strike preparation to confirm, Li Lan also saw the position of the target ship and the shells that were about to be fired, and on the other side, various numbers of target ships also came out, and this kind of target ship was specially prepared for testing large anti-ship weapons, and the armor of the whole body of the ship was specially thickened, and the intensity of the attack was higher than that of ordinary warships.
However, today's test is not lethality, but accuracy, at a speed of more than 20,000 kilometers per hour, hit by a 100-kilogram tungsten steel rod, even an aircraft carrier will be paralyzed, let alone this kind of target ship with only a few thousand tons.
On the other hand, the military high-ranking officials who received Ling Liang's notice were also waiting for this test.
"Launch." After the assistant had finished calculating all the numbers, Li Lan gave the order to launch very decisively.
The cannon that had been fully charged, the silver light flashed on the two rails, and at the muzzle velocity of more than eight kilometers per second, the tungsten steel rod left a faint trace in the sky.
As the cannon was discharged, a simulated screen appeared in front of Li Lan and others, and it was clearly visible that the tungsten steel rod was speeding through the mountains and cities, and the tungsten steel rod was still adjusting its angle during the flight, and the time of 90 seconds passed quickly, and the tungsten steel rod soon flew more than 600 kilometers in a straight line to the sky over the east coast of Somalia, and the height of the shell also dropped to a height of less than 500 meters from the sea level, and this altitude was still significantly decreasing.
Everyone also began to hold their breath, and all the pictures were also converted to the moving target ship, which was calm here, but just twenty seconds later, everyone in expectation only felt that the target ship was suddenly hit by a super huge force, and the entire target ship actually flew out of the water, rolled in the sky, and in less than a blink of an eye, the target ship fell into the water again and became two flat pieces, and sank quickly.
"It's terrifying." After Ling Liang, who was shocked, half resounded, he sighed.
Li Lan on the side was no better, and the scene in front of him made him very surprised, the target ship was actually flattened, and it was broken into two, originally he thought that the most he could do was to pass through the target ship, but he didn't expect the power to be so powerful.
At this time, the assistant also began to edit the moment when the target ship was attacked, and slowed it down thirty times.
In slow motion, everyone clearly saw the moment when the tungsten steel rod flying in the distance hit the side of the hull, the side of the target ship was penetrated by the tungsten steel rod like paper paste, and the huge force squeezed the steel plate of the entire side inward at the same time, and the huge force also pushed the entire hull horizontally out of the water.
As for the tungsten steel rod, after passing through the two layers of hull, it continues to penetrate to the bottom of the sea, and on the slow-motion screen, it can be clearly seen that the front part of the tungsten steel rod has been flattened a lot, but the momentum is still very violent.
"Satisfied?" After being shocked, Li Lan asked.
Ling Liang's eyes lit up, and he said stupidly: "It's perfect." (To be continued......)
