Chapter 701: Space Program (Part I)
"This tank is okay, five hundred and twenty horsepower engines, an eight-meter long body, the front armor is one hundred and sixty millimeters of composite armor, and the artillery is one hundred and twenty millimeters, looking at the data, it seems that it is a little worse than the Boston rat tank." Fang Ruijun looked at the technical parameters of the new chariot and commented.
Su Zhizhen, as the commander of the army, naturally knows more about chariots, he explained: "Our chariots are more powerful, the speed is twice as fast as that rat chariot, and the weight of the chariot is reduced to a quarter of the opponent's. Our vehicles use beveled armor, which is better bulletproof, and our bulletproof armor is of a composite type, and its armor is actually equivalent to homogeneous steel armor three hundred millimeters thick. ”
Zhang Zhonglin also explained: "Don't look at the caliber of our artillery is eight millimeters smaller than the opponent's, but the power is much higher than that of the opponent. Our guns have longer barrels, higher muzzle velocities, and smoke extraction devices are installed on the barrels to prevent smoke from flowing back into the barrels and polluting the air in the turret. ”
Su Zhizhen nodded and then explained: "What's more, half of the power of the artillery depends on the shells. Our artillery has sub-caliber tungsten core armor-piercing, armor-piercing, armor-fragmenting shells, and grenades, which can exert considerable power in various environments according to their use, and are much stronger than the opponent's single conventional artillery shell. ”
Fang Ruijun nodded and said, "Since the new chariot is stronger than the other party's rat chariot, let's approve the construction." ”
Su Zhizhen then added: "I think the other party will definitely study the follow-up models after the mouse chariot is put into active service, and our research cannot lag behind." ”
"Yes, even if it is an emergency weapon, we can't lag behind each other, and we must start researching follow-up models as soon as possible." Fang Ruijun nodded in agreement.
Colonel Hezendorf's actions caused great trouble to the Axis powers, as the experimental new weapons were knocked off a cliff before they could be put on the tank, leaving the Axis factories to start all over again. Although these high-powered weapons have not yet been put on the tank, they have already received a lot of praise in the military, so when it came time to manufacture them, the Axis decided not to test them and directly mass-produce a batch of practical ones, also because the situation on the front line was becoming more and more urgent, and they had little time to waste.
The blueprints for these new weapons were also passed on to the New World, and after the Boston Empire was invaded by the Chinese Empire, they also urgently needed better weapons to resist, so this time the new weapons began to be manufactured in the Western Continent along with the New World.
At a time when both warring sides began to research high-power weapons, Fang Xiaoyu was also making high-power weapons, but the weapons he made were no longer in the factory, but in space.
Since Xiao Feng was promoted to level ten, the speed of unlocking the database was greatly strengthened, and under Fang Xiaoyu's special request, Xiao Feng focused on the direction of unlocking and astronautics, so the more mature process and method of building a spaceship were unlocked, so Fang Xiaoyu still used a mode that was more convenient for Xiao Feng, building a space station in space first, and building a spaceship on the space station.
With the teleportation function of the little wind, both satellites near the regression star have been built with space bases. The gravitational pull on satellites is smaller, and they can transport larger components into space with less consumption. Using Xiaofeng's teleportation function, after the construction of the components of the space station on the return satellite is completed, it is teleported to the launch base on the satellite, and then the rockets there are launched into space one by one for docking, and after a year of construction, a fairly large deep space space station appears in space.
There are space stations, where a large number of components are transported to the space station, where they are assembled in separate categories and then spaceships are built in a modular way. In the past few years, in order to train the construction workers of this new spacecraft, the China Foundation not only used the space station to build hundreds of satellites for the return satellite, but also built more than 20 small spaceships one after another, of course, the factory also needs to gradually accumulate construction experience, the largest of these spaceships is only 200 meters long. In Xiaofeng's words, in the era of cosmic development, this can only be regarded as a patrol boat in the galaxy.
After the designers and builders had some experience, they designed a two-kilometer-long spaceship, which Fang Xiaoyu named the return as the name suggests, and was built for the return. With Xiaofeng's design and demonstration capabilities, this spacecraft can fully handle the mission of returning to Earth.
After the successful manufacture of the kind of magnetogravitational engine left by the ancestors of subhumans, the flight speed and endurance of this spacecraft have been effectively guaranteed, and the reason why such a large hull is to put a self-circulating life support system in the spacecraft to ensure the survival needs of astronauts.
"The ship looks and feels good, it's just that the new powertrain is not guaranteed." Fang Xiaoyu asked as he stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the space station, looking at the Return-to-Return spacecraft being built in outer space.
Li Zhonggong stood beside him and said with a smile: "Young Master, please rest assured, the design of this spaceship is quite mature, although the new engine has not been applied to the spacecraft, we have done a lot of experiments with unmanned aerial vehicles, and it has been proved that this engine can use interplanetary magnetism to generate a lot of power with very little fuel, which is enough to make our spacecraft move at high speed." ”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "This kind of engine uses the magnetic force of the planet to fly, I know this, but the space in the universe is always very large, and the distance between the stars is also quite far, our spacecraft can never get close to the planet all the time, and what power should it rely on to fly at that time." ”
Li Zhonggong said with a smile: "It is true that when you are far away from the star, you can't accelerate, but there is no air in the universe, and if there is no air, there will be no resistance, so as long as you get an initial acceleration, the spacecraft can fly all the way, and when it encounters other planets, it can accelerate again." In addition, in order to facilitate effective maneuvering in any dangerous time, we have also arranged a set of traditional rocket propulsion devices on the spacecraft, which can use the large number of vents arranged around the spacecraft to maneuver in a wide range at any time to avoid dangerous areas such as asteroid belts, meteorite showers and black holes. ”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "The two propulsion systems are not bad, but the rocket thruster needs a lot of fuel, how did you solve it?" If it loses power, will it cause the ship to fail to maneuver and crash. ”
