737. Phased achievements
After Mu Feng figured out what was going on, he increased the frequency of construction slightly, from once or twice a week to two or three times a week.
Because Mu Feng wants to give each new ship girl a time to adapt, and also give himself a time to guide them to get acquainted, plus now that the battle is basically gone, the environment is not tense, so there is no need to build more frequently.
Even so, in a year, the scale of the original modern fleet built by Mu Feng himself has exceeded 200 people.
The 001, 002, and 003 aircraft carriers are all complete, and the nuclear submarines 091, 092, 093, 094, 095, and 096 add up to a dozen.
The destroyers 052C, 052B, 051C, 051B, and 956, the number of which is relatively small, has now arrived.
There are several Type 005 destroyers, more than a dozen Type 052D destroyers, more than 20 Type 054A frigates, more than 40 056 and 056A frigates, and more than 50 Type 22 missile boats.
For example, the number of Type 081 minesweepers, landing ships of the 071 and 072 series, supply ships of the 901 and 903 series, electronic reconnaissance ships of the 956 and 956A series, and other auxiliary ships such as scientific research, surveying, and repair, has also exceeded 60.
In the past year, a series of upgraded scientific research projects set up by Mufeng have also been completed.
The most important, basic, resource-consuming energy system, the first available version, has finally been designed.
"Resource-Power System Version 0.1" is a set of devices that consume primordial substances and active resources and directly output electrical energy.
The base power is 1.28 million kilowatts, which is equivalent to the reactor of a large onshore nuclear power plant, and the volume is only about the same as a set of boilers on the Liaoning.
The mass-to-energy conversion rate of this system is about 0.1%, which is about the same as nuclear fission, but the fuel can be recycled and reused.
According to Xingchen, this system can already be classified as a source power system in the category of "mass-energy".
With this system, all kinds of high-energy weapons and equipment in the next era can finally be used.
It should be said that some other projects, which were developed together as a "resource-power" system, are now basically completed.
First of all, the 155 to 500 mm large-caliber electromagnetic gun, as well as the electromagnetic missile launch system from the same project, plus the supporting artillery shells, artillery launched missiles, warheads and other additional projects, have been completed.
For a 500-mm gun, the weight of the shell doubled compared to 400 mm, reaching about 2 tons, the maximum muzzle velocity was 7 times the speed of sound, the maximum firing range was 800 km, and the maximum rate of fire was 8 rounds per minute.
With such a large caliber and such a heavy shell, every time a cannon is fired, the amount of energy required is massive.
At the maximum muzzle velocity, the muzzle kinetic energy is 5,664,400 kilojoules, and if a battleship is equipped with 8 guns, it will need at least 6 megawatt reactors to supply them with full fire.
Mufeng now has a single "resource-power system version 0.1" with a power of 1.28 million kilowatts, and it can barely be used.
Of course, the power of this level of electromagnetic cannon is also extremely terrifying, and it is almost indestructible within their range.
Moreover, Mufeng has an active destruction elemental warhead, whether it is an armor-piercing shell or a high-explosive projectile, the power is much greater than that of a conventional shell of the same size.
This is still just a conventional artillery shell, the electromagnetic launch system and the electromagnetic cannon are universal, and the artillery missile is the conventional combat method.
Conventional missiles carry relatively complex engine systems and consume a lot of fuel to fly.
In this way, the weight of the warhead, which is ultimately used directly for killing, does not occupy a large proportion of the weight of the entire missile.
A modern missile weighing 2 tons, the weight of a conventional warhead is usually only 300 kg, in which there are also guidance components.
Now with a large-caliber, high-energy electromagnetic gun, it is possible to directly give the missile a muzzle velocity of 7 times the speed of sound, directly send the missile into the air, and reach a speed and altitude suitable for the work of a scramjet engine.
The missile only needs to install a ramjet engine with the simplest structure, and only needs to carry a relatively small amount of fuel for maneuvering, and the structure, weight, and manufacturing difficulty of the entire missile will be greatly reduced.
Due to the savings in the structure and weight of the engine and fuel, it was possible to increase the weight and proportion of the effective warhead.
The final data is that the total weight of the artillery-launched missile is 2 tons, the weight of the effective warhead is 1 ton, and the maximum range exceeds 2000 km, which is already at the level of a medium-range ballistic missile.
On the other hand, the response time of the air defense system, especially the anti-missile system, the response time to ignition during launch, the acceleration time after launch, must be reduced as much as possible.
Previous anti-aircraft missiles, using various technologies, reduced this time to the order of seconds.
The electromagnetic launcher, on the other hand, reduces the time from the launch of the anti-aircraft missile to the maximum speed from seconds to milliseconds.
At the same time, the weight of the missile body itself was reduced, the range was increased, the missile structure was simplified, and the strength and anti-overload capacity were increased.
Electromagnetic guns above 76 mm can launch missiles, and different calibers can launch missiles of different ranges, different powers, and different types.
Mufeng divided the large-caliber electromagnetic gun into three levels: 500 mm, 420 mm, and 360 mm, all of which were available in two versions: triple and double.
Large, medium, and small battleships, battle cruisers, and large cruisers are used as main guns, depending on the size of the ship.
Small and medium-caliber electromagnetic guns, four calibers of 80 mm, 120 mm, 160 mm, and 200 mm have been added.
120 mm caliber, there are twin, three, and four flat-height guns, which are mainly used as main guns for smaller destroyers, or as secondary guns for cruisers, or as specialized anti-aircraft missile firing guns.
200 mm caliber, available in triple and twin versions, for larger cruisers as the main gun.
80 mm and 160 mm are because Mu Feng does not want to continue to pass on the strange numbers left by some countries in the previous era to the next era, so with this technological upgrade, all the numbers of the main gun caliber have been put together.
The new 80 mm replaced the 76 mm and the 160 mm instead of the 155 mm, and at the same time the artillery-launched missiles of the corresponding dimensions were designed.
After this upgrade, the energy conversion rate of small and medium-caliber electromagnetic guns is infinitely close to 100%, which further improves the rate of fire, range, and accuracy.
The 30 mm electromagnetic close defense gun has also received some minor optimizations.
Then there is the quantum radar and the laser close defense system, which are also completed at a similar point in time.
Compared with traditional radar, quantum radar has the corresponding speed of the crushing stage, and at the same time has the ability to ignore electromagnetic and optical stealth.
The laser close defense system further improves the last line of defense of the hull.
The instantaneous lethality of the laser close defense is not strong, but she has the fastest corresponding speed and can continue to track the irradiation.
The high-power lasers are clustered together to reduce the speed of incoming targets, giving additional response time to other electromagnetic close defense systems.
