Chapter 110: Weapons

The electromagnetic cannon is an advanced kinetic energy killing weapon made by electromagnetic emission technology. Speaking of it, people will immediately think of the cool military equipment in science fiction films and science fiction games, whether it is an electromagnetic gun or an electromagnetic gun, it is full of science and technology.

In fact, it is not cool at all, as early as the beginning of the twentieth century, some scientists invented the electromagnetic gun, then its theoretical research is even earlier, and its structure is quite simple, mainly composed of energy and accelerators, as well as switches. Well, no.

The reason why the electromagnetic cannon is so favored is because of the large electromagnetic propulsion, which can push the speed of the projectile to a rather terrible speed.

At the same time, because the electromagnetic force is very uniform and easy to control, the projectile stability is very good.

Moreover, the electromagnetic cannon does not produce flames and smoke when fired, and does not produce shock waves, so its concealment is also very good.

Then, according to the nature of the target and the distance of the firing, it can quickly adjust the magnitude of the electromagnetic force, so as to control the emission energy of the projectile.

Finally, it is more economical, compared with conventional weapons, the cost per joule of energy generated by artillery propellant is much higher than that of electromagnetic guns. If compared to other space weapons that are being developed, the electromagnetic cannon is much more economical.

Depending on the speed and range of the electromagnetic gun, one can use it for space-based anti-missile systems, for air defense systems, for anti-armor weapons, for modifying conventional artillery, for equipping artillery units, for equipping naval ships, and so on.

Of course, such a large number of benefits mentioned above are all benefits that will only arise on the basis of sufficiently developed technology.

In fact, some countries in reality have also been studying electromagnetic guns, and the speed, range, and power of electromagnetic guns are very gratifying, but all kinds of problems are also tiring and unloving.

The volume of the current electromagnetic cannon is too huge, because of the problem of materials and energy, if it is small, it will not be powerful, but the volume of the cannon is so large, then his carrier can only be larger, so now it can only be used as a land-based battery, or mounted on a 10,000-ton warship.

And due to the huge amount of energy consumption, it can only be supplied with a steady stream of energy on the ground, even if it is installed on a 10,000-ton battleship, the energy carried by the battleship can barely maintain its consumption, because every time it is launched, the energy consumed is simply heartbreaking.

In addition, there are various problems, such as the barrel is easy to burn, fuse, and because the technology is not up to standard, the gunpowder needs to be accelerated twice, which is not at all hidden than traditional artillery.

So those advantages are all advantages that arose when technology was developed enough, and now it's tiring to think about it.

It's just that scientific research and whether it can be used in actual combat, that is two different things, the current scientific and technological development has not yet reached the level of electromagnetic guns used in actual combat, but the future development of science and technology is not necessarily, if you do not invest a lot of manpower, material resources, financial resources for research, then this aspect of science and technology will never develop.

Just like in the 80s of the 20th century, the two superpowers, the United States and the Mao Bear, were in an equilibrium in terms of the quantity and quality of their strategic nuclear weapons, and they entered a dead end in the arms race.

However, when the woolly bear was dragged down, and the United States also ran a financial deficit for many years, the United States eliminated some real foolish plans, and so many years of desperate competition still gained a lot of good things, including rocket technology, aerospace technology, high-energy laser technology, microelectronics technology, computer technology and other high-tech, after the military was converted to civilian use, it quickly promoted the economic development of the United States, and relying on the development of these high-tech groups, it also caused the leading and hegemonic position of the United States in the economy, military, science and technology.

It can be seen that the importance of technological research is impossible now, which does not mean that it will be impossible in the future, and it will never be possible without development.

It would be impossible to move the current electromagnetic cannon to the car, the barrel was longer than Dong Chen's car, not to mention the huge cannon body, and the huge energy required could not be installed in Dong Chen's car.

But the most sassy thing is here, the current technology can't do it, it doesn't mean that the future technology can't do it, and Dong Chen has such a technology now.

In the radiation world, small electromagnetic railguns can already be mass-produced on a small scale, and large vehicle-mounted and shipborne electromagnetic guns are not a problem.

He had seen the technical data and design drawings of these electromagnetic cannons in the airships of the Brotherhood of Steel, and as a military organization with the priority goal of collecting military information, such technology was indispensable.

I have also seen it in the database of the academy, and even the more advanced information on small electromagnetic guns, laser guns, and laser guns have also been seen.

Even underground organizations such as railways have the means of production of electromagnetic guns, and electromagnetic guns are no longer a problem.

As for why it doesn't appear in the game, it can only be attributed to the game setting and game balance.

Anyway, Dong Chen has ready-made small vehicle-mounted electromagnetic cannon technology in his hand, and it is an optimization technology, which has improved the utilization rate of energy to a very high level.

And the advantage of the electromagnetic gun is that you can make as much force as you want, as long as you adjust the size of the energy output, even if it is reported by the undisciplined netizen, or it is checked, after the intelligent lock of the launch power, the projectile that is shot can't even hit through a piece of paper, you still say that I am a controlled firearm?

Don't be funny, think I don't know the law? Besides, I'm doing scientific research, just academic research.

So Dong Chen built a vehicle-mounted electromagnetic cannon that could penetrate a centimeter of foam board in front of tens of thousands of netizens who watched the live broadcast and hundreds of thousands of netizens who watched the recording and broadcasting, and then installed it in the car.

Although netizens also know that it is impossible to build a small and powerful electromagnetic cannon now, this does not prevent them from coaxing.

"Poof, let me vomit blood first, and I can only break through the foam board."

"I'm taking off my pants, so you just let me see this!"

"There's nothing wrong with it, that's what we did in the war, we don't have electromagnetic guns, we only have a new type of marble play."

"Huaguo is not controlled by this powerful thing, and the director is not stable."

"Give me back Sister Cannon, my Sister Can't be so watery!"

“………………”

After Dong Chen tried the foldability of the electromagnetic cannon and it was not affected, it could be perfectly stored in the carriage, and it was perfectly unfolded, so he said to netizens that it was offline.

Of course, the electromagnetic cannon that Dong Chen asked for was not this kind of parallel import, but after Dong Chen turned off the computer, he said an order to let No. 1 watch the house, and then opened the arc door and walked in.

When Dong Chen came to the Radiation World, this was still his academy base camp, but this time he came to the place not in the front hall, but an early robotics research center, where the high-precision 3D printer was very useful, so there was a car parked in the test area here that was almost exactly the same as the real world.

Let's talk about almost, that is, the appearance looks very similar, but the inner thing is not the same at all, don't forget, this is the twenty-third century, more than two hundred years higher than the earth's technology tree.

Although its tech tree is crooked.
