Chapter 85: Test Firing

Everyone quickly carefully inspected the electromagnetic railgun, and only after finding no problems did they begin to prepare for the test gun. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After all the work is almost ready, turn on the electromagnetic railgun and start warming up.

Before the official test firing of the electromagnetic cannon began, it was necessary to carry out a test firing of the second air cannon, and only after it was determined that the electromagnetic cannon was absolutely not asked was true, it could be fired with live ammunition.

The distances of this test were fifty km, one hundred km, two hundred km, three hundred km and the maximum range of this gun.

At these distances, there are special test ships of the Ming Navy to test the landing site of the shells and the power of the artillery during this test firing.

Even in order to test the power of artillery, several scrapped merchant ships were prepared as target ships at the first and second test firing distances.

The range of the electromagnetic railgun is very long, so it must be reported to the Ming military in advance at the time of each test firing, so that the military can close the test firing area in advance. In order to avoid accidents, the power of Bijing's electromagnetic railgun is not comparable to ordinary artillery.

Not to mention that it is an ordinary merchant ship, even an aircraft carrier can't stand it if it is hit by a shot, and it is scrapped if it is not sinkable, so it is absolutely forbidden for any ships to navigate in the shooting area, you must know that the projectiles used in the test are the largest 500 mm caliber, although there are no explosives in it, but the power of the electromagnetic cannon is not comparable to ordinary artillery.

The warm-up work was soon over, and with his order, the test firing of the electromagnetic railgun officially began.

The first thing to start was the test firing of the air artillery. At the moment when the operator of the electromagnetic railgun pressed the fire button, the entire guide rail of the electromagnetic gun instantly glowed blue, and then a burst of ionic wind blew around.

These are all things that happen in an instant, you can imagine how amazing the energy used by the electromagnetic railgun is in an instant, even if it is one kilogram of gold essence batteries produced by Zhu Lei and their factory, it can only support more than 20 rounds of electromagnetic railgun fire.

After several test firing of the air cannon without any problems, the test firing of live ammunition began.

The first is a 50-kilometer live firing, before firing the military survey ship in the target area is contacted to see if there are any ships moving in the target waters, and after it is determined that there are absolutely no ships in the target waters, the live firing can begin.

With the command to open the gun, the guide rail of the electromagnetic railgun instantly turned blue, and the projectile in the middle of the guide rail was also ejected.

When the electromagnetic railgun fires shells, it does not have the same loud noise and thick smoke as conventional guns.

When the projectile was fired, I saw that the guide rail of the electromagnetic railgun turned blue, followed by a burst of sound of breaking the air produced by the object flying at high speed, and then I saw a red light from the cannon of the electromagnetic railgun, and then there was no movement.

Because at this time, the projectile fired by the electromagnetic railgun was already dozens of kilometers away. In less than ten seconds, on the huge display screen on the edge of the test site, the shared video materials set up by the military came.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the display, only to see that on the calm sea, a red light suddenly appeared in the sky, and then the sea surface seemed to be hit by a meteorite, setting off waves dozens of meters high.

This 50-kilometer shooting was perfect, and the next step was to shoot at the target ship that was 50 kilometers away.

After the military informed the direction and position of the target ship, after computer calculations, the electromagnetic railgun opened fire again.

In fact, Zhu Lei did not know the specific location of the target ship before, and after waiting for the military's notice, they could get the data according to the calculation, and then the computer adjusted the angle and direction of the electromagnetic railgun, and then the computer would launch the projectile by itself.

The picture of this trip is similar to the previous picture, except that there is an extra ship on the cloudless sea, which is an ordinary scrapped merchant ship of nearly 10,000 tons.

At that moment, a red light flashed in the sky, and then the rusty merchant ship seemed to have been hammered by an invisible giant hammer.

The whole ship quickly retreated, and then when everyone wondered if there was no movement, the ship quickly exploded, and then like a goddess scattering flowers, it quickly disintegrated, and quickly sank in the sea, the whole process took less than a minute, and a ship of nearly 10,000 tons disappeared into the sea.

After watching the picture shared by the Navy in the video, the people present were speechless for a long time, although they had been shot many times before, but they had never shot at a physical target, and no one knew that the electromagnetic railgun would have such a destructive power on the physical target, although the specific data had been obtained in the previous data, but it was only literal data, far from the shock of the real picture.

In just a few tens of seconds, a giant ship of nearly 10,000 tons disappeared from everyone's eyes.

"It's really shocking, I used to only see the power of the electromagnetic railgun in the data, but now I really have nothing to say when I look at the real scene." After watching the video, it was Li Lao who spoke first for a while.

"Yes! This is not the maximum power of the electromagnetic railgun, and it is still less than half of the power! The old man Zhang on the side also spoke.

"Yes! I'd love to see what kind of disruption can be when you're designing at full power. At this time, the housekeeper also said.

Everyone was gossiping about the shock in their hearts.

After a while, everyone's hearts finally calmed down, and they began to prepare for a 100-kilometer shooting test.

The shooting was also very good, although there was a deviation in the first shot of the real shot, but it only hit the tail of the target ship, and directly knocked out a section of the tail section, and did not directly sink the target ship.

Originally, they wanted to fight again and sink the target ship completely, but the military sent information, but their attempt failed, for the military to sink is much more useful than a section of sunken, so that you can get more quantity, for the damage caused by the electromagnetic railgun has more intuitive data.

The subsequent tests were very smooth, and the shooting of the electromagnetic railgun was very accurate, and the target ship parked in the target area was solved directly with one shot.

In particular, the last shot at the physical target shocked everyone the most, and this time the target was not a merchant ship, this time the target was an old cruiser built before World War II, with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, and the things on it were still very complete, although the rust was very strong, but its heavy armor was not comparable to that of a merchant ship.

Even a cruiser before World War II. It can't change the fact that they are warships, and their defense and anti-strike capabilities are very outstanding.

But even such a cruiser with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons could not withstand a single shot of the electromagnetic railgun, although the shot did not sink at that time, but it only continued to struggle at sea for half an hour.

In the end, it sank into the sea.
