Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Terrible Electromagnetic Cannon
This time, there was a strong shaking in the surveillance footage, much more violent than the first shelling.
Even their bunkers felt a palpable sense of vibration.
After the dust drifts away.
Grunt! Du Weiguo and the others looked at the surveillance screen, staring at the huge pit in the picture like a chicken.
It is no longer a huge crater, it should be said that it is a huge gap, and the small hill that was used as a target land, and the west side has been cut off a large piece.
Even the two surveillance cameras on the west side were completely black, and if the crater from the first shelling was the size of a tennis ball, then the crater created this time was the size of a basketball.
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Although the electromagnetic cannon of the Eastern Tang Kingdom and Mi Lijia is at the forefront of the world, the electromagnetic cannon of Galaxy Technology does not look too big, and it is estimated that armored vehicles can be installed.
The electromagnetic cannon developed by Dongtang and Mi Lijia is not only very bulky, but also has the shortcomings of electromagnetic heating and short life of components.
Although the Internet has been blowing that such and such a research institute or battleship has been equipped with what kind of electromagnetic cannon, who knows who uses this thing.
"How far can Haojie hit this thing?" Du Weiguo grabbed Huang Haojie's shoulders and was excited.
Hehe, can you not be so hard? Huang Haojie complained in his heart.
"Don't worry, isn't this a test?"
"Then hurry up and give it a try and see how far you can hit."
"Okay, I'll try it right away, but can you always let go of my hand?" Huang Haojie said with black lines on his head.
When Du Weiguo heard this, he immediately put down his hand in embarrassment.
"Cheng'an! Maximum power, tungsten steel warhead, 100 km target. Huang Haojie commanded concisely.
"Yes!" Fan Chengan's voice immediately came from the walkie-talkie.
The base personnel on the side hurriedly switched the monitoring screen to the 100-kilometer shooting range.
"Why didn't your radar react just now?" Liu Zhengjun asked the base personnel on the side.
The radar controller at the base smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, we can barely catch the first shot, but the radar just now can't react!" ”
The Eastern Tang Dynasty was equipped with many kinds of radars, but the more advanced one was the Type 2 ground artillery position reconnaissance radar.
The second type of ground artillery position reconnaissance radar adopts the latest phased array radar technology of Dongtang, and the performance of the radar has comprehensively surpassed the anti-battery positioning radar used by the Mi Lijia army, with a detection range of 60 kilometers.
Although the radar theoretically responds at the speed of light, in practice, taking into account the trajectory calculation of the computer, this response speed is considered qualified within 10 seconds.
The reaction speed of the Type 2 ground artillery reconnaissance radar is already very fast, reaching 3 seconds, and then the counterattack rocket artillery is about 12 seconds.
The problem is that the muzzle velocity of the electromagnetic gun, which is the most powerful just now, almost reaches a speed of 7200 meters per second.
Hit the target in less than 7 seconds.
And in the next shelling, the second type of ground artillery position reconnaissance radar was also powerless.
Because the electromagnetic cannon is not only fast, but also very far, they are connected by multiple radars to capture the trajectory of the tungsten steel warhead.
As the minutes passed.
Du Weiguo became more and more excited, it was amazing, this electromagnetic cannon was amazing.
And Dr. Ma, as an expert in electromagnetic guns, knows the power and difficulty of this thing.
That electromagnetic cannon has so far hit the shell to a position of 450 kilometers.
Although the same power is somewhat weakened, in the 450-kilometer shooting range, it still creates a large crater with a diameter of nearly 30 meters, and the accuracy is a little low, but this can be adjusted.
After all, this electromagnetic cannon can be seen as a prototype at a glance, and many guidance means are not used, and it is very normal that the accuracy is not high.
"Haojie, can this electromagnetic cannon be made big? I mean, it can be used on warships or large land-based. Du Weiguo asked hurriedly.
Huang Haojie nodded.
"Yes, size is not an issue."
"Great, this electromagnetic cannon must be equipped." Du Weiguo clapped his hands excitedly.
After all, even this medium-sized electromagnetic cannon can hit up to 450 kilometers, and a large one can definitely hit thousands of kilometers.
Thinking about it, I get excited, what is the concept of thousands of kilometers? The cannonballs can be directly fired from Shanghai to the Jiudao area of the Sun Country, covering the entire Rope Islands.
The enemy can't even intercept it, and the speed of 7,200 meters per second is equivalent to Mach 21, which is 21 times the speed of sound.
Just like the radar at this test base, what can you do if you catch the signal?
The shell of the electromagnetic cannon ran 1,000 kilometers in only about 138 seconds, and it is estimated that the radar computer has calculated that the shell has flown over.
This is also the reason why ballistic missiles are almost uninterceptable, because ballistic missiles will reach a speed of Mach 20 or more at the end, unless the ballistic missile is just launched, otherwise once it reaches the middle and rear end, it cannot be stopped at all.
The electromagnetic cannon designed by Galaxy Technology can increase the speed and power to this extent in a medium-sized one, and if it is large, I really can't imagine how terrible its power is.
A cannon with a 30-meter crater, Hangma's can't block a blow.
Huang Haojie stayed in the Gobi Desert test base of this military rabbit for four days.
Two electromagnetic guns and ten electromagnetic guns were tested by Du Weiguo and others.
The electromagnetic cannon that the military rabbit was most interested in, tested hundreds of shells, and almost destroyed the entire shooting range.
They finally got the data they wanted to know.
Range: 764 km (high-temperature tungsten steel), 471 km (high-temperature silicon steel), 312 km (high-temperature aluminum alloy) ......
Power: 92 meters in diameter for 50 km and 81 m for 100 km...... 450 km destruction diameter 27 meters...... 764 km destroyed with a diameter of 5 meters.
Muzzle velocity: 100% power 7.2 km/s, 90% power 6.5 km/s, 80% power 5.7 km/s, 70% power 5 km/s......
In the base canteen.
"Brother Huang, the barrel of your electromagnetic cannon is covered with a layer of magnetic crystals!" Dr. Ma already knew about the existence of magnetic crystals from Huang Haojie's mouth.
Huang Haojie smiled and nodded: "Dr. Ma's eyes are like torches. ”
"What kind of eyes are like torches, don't lift me up, you kid, after all, the barrel of your electromagnetic cannon has not been burning and melting, I know that there must be a doorway in it when I think about it." Dr. Ma shook his head and laughed.
As Dr. Ma said, the magnetic crystals in the barrel form a strong repulsion field, so that the projectile and the barrel do not have physical contact.
In this way, the projectile does not come into frictional contact with the barrel, which can cause the barrel to be cauterized and severely heated.
This design not only improves the service life of the barrel, but also reduces the requirements for the production materials of the barrel, and also increases the muzzle velocity and projectile launch speed (80~90 rounds per minute for the prototype).
"Haojie, it's just right that you're here." Before Du Weiguo arrived, the voice arrived first.
"Deputy Commander Du, what's the good news?" Huang Haojie said with a smile.
"Regarding the electromagnetic cannon, the top has already approved it." Du Weiguo walked over and patted Huang Haojie on the shoulder.
Huang Haojie was speechless for this old man, patting his shoulder so vigorously all day long, he was afraid that he would be photographed with internal injuries if he came a few more times.
"So fast? How many orders?"
"Purchase 1,000 electromagnetic guns, as well as 50 medium-sized electromagnetic guns on land and 10 large electromagnetic guns. The sea-based side purchased 50 medium-sized electromagnetic guns and 10 large electromagnetic guns. Du Weiguo handed a contract to Huang Haojie.
"So little?" Huang Haojie asked.
Du Weiguo said angrily: "You can be content!" Do you think our money is blowing in the wind? Also, you guys are too casual in the styling of the electromagnetic gun and other accessories! ”
"Isn't this a prototype! It will definitely be very handsome when it comes to mass production! Huang Haojie spread his hands.
Du Weiguo knew that Huang Haojie would say this.
"I helped you contact the president of North District Industries, this is his phone number, you can contact them directly, many supporting facilities are available to them."
"Thank you." Huang Haojie didn't expect that this old man really helped a lot.
The North District Industry is the Dongtang Military Industry Group, which is one of the 12 major military industries in the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Galaxy Technology's electromagnetic cannon cow is very good, the problem is that the supporting is not good.
Like guidance, equipment interfaces, layouts, radars, the design of projectiles, etc., they are either very rough or simply none.
It is of course very good that you can cooperate with the North District Industry, and Huang Haojie doesn't want to do a lot of things.
Leave guidance, radar and the like to the North District Industry to get it, and Galaxy Technology will be responsible for improving the electromagnetic gun.
