Chapter 147: Into the Water
Similarly, the power of the electromagnetic railgun on this battleship is much stronger, but the energy consumption of these electromagnetic railguns has also increased a lot, and a one-million-degree gold essence battery can make the main gun on this battleship fire dozens of times.

Now, however, if a million kilowatt-hour gold essence batteries were used, then only the battleship's main gun fired less than ten shells!
However, the gold essence battery used on this battleship is the latest type of battery produced by Zhu Lei's factory, with a storage capacity of up to 5 million kWh, but it is such a high storage power, which is only enough for a single main gun of this battleship to fire twenty or thirty times at full strength!
It can be seen how amazing the power consumption of these electromagnetic railguns is, so far, the power transmission of the high-voltage line pulled by the military is completely insufficient, so now he has added a few high-voltage wires in his fiefdom, as time continues, the development of the factory will be more huge, and these electricity will not be enough, for now, the electricity has been equal to the consumption, if it continues, the power will still be insufficient.
So he is now working with the researchers in the factory to find a way, completely relying on external electricity is definitely not possible, and the moon's helium-3 energy mining plan is one of them, and the rest, his fiefdom is also building solar power stations and wind power stations, although these power stations are not very large, but it is better to have than nothing.
After all, the aerospace industry is no better than others, even if other countries use traditional rockets to launch space equipment, the energy consumption is also very large, not to mention, the Ming Empire's plasma thrusters are all propelled by electricity, and at least millions of kilowatt-hours of electricity are used each time, not to mention that his factories produce all kinds of aerospace equipment, and the smelting of special metals requires electricity to support, and these industrial energy consumption is very huge, so the construction of these power stations is completely necessary.
Now the entire Zhejiang Province due to the existence of his factory, now the entire province has begun to have a shortage of electricity, if it continues like this in the future, then it will begin to affect the power supply of the whole country, and even occupy the consumption of ordinary civilian electricity.
He came to the side of the battleship, talked with the crew of the refitting battleship, and then the time came to nine o'clock.
When the time reached nine o'clock, the battleship slowly slipped into the sea amid the gaze of everyone and the sound of firecrackers.
When the battleship was successfully launched, at the place, some people let out a burst of cheers, this battleship was finally launched after half a year of refit, and this is not an ordinary battleship, this is a real space battleship, although he is only converted from an ordinary surface battleship, but it is undeniable that this is a real space battleship.
The anti-gravity engine can send the behemoth, with a displacement of nearly 80,000 tons, to an altitude of more than 30,000 meters, and the eight plasma thrusters in the tail of the battleship can send the battleship completely into space.
The successful conversion of this battleship marked the beginning of a new era for the Ming Empire. This era can be called the Age of Interstellar Discovery, or the Age of Planetary Systems.
Whether it is on this battleship, the high-power large-scale anti-gravity engine or the large-scale plasma thruster at the tail of the battleship are the latest achievements of Zhu Lei's factory.
The anti-gravity engine on this battleship can push up to about 100,000 tons of materials to an altitude of 30,000 meters, and 30,000 meters is the limit of the anti-gravity engine developed by the Ming Empire! Of course, this is only temporary, and as time goes on, the anti-gravity engine will definitely become more certain and more powerful in the future!
And the plasma thrusters on the battleship are more than a hundred times the propulsion of the first plasma thrusters, and these plasma thrusters are actually not very large. Of course, compared to the previous plasma thruster, it is already very large.
These plasma thrusters are 12 meters long and 1.2 meters in diameter, and the propulsion provided by these plasma thrusters alone is about 16,000 tons.
Therefore, the propulsion of these eight plasma thrusters has reached more than 120,000 tons, which can completely push this battleship with a displacement of more than 80,000 tons out of the earth's gravitational circle. And he believes that with the passage of time, the size and weight of the spacecraft that human beings can know will become larger and larger, and the technological content will become more and more advanced.
After everyone's cheers ended, Zhu Lei walked on the super battleship with the operators of this battleship, no! It should be said that embarked on this space battleship.
After coming to the deck, the first thing he saw was the special tempered glass above the deck of this battleship, because this is a space battleship converted from a surface battleship, so in addition to the location of the turret of the electromagnetic railgun and the location of various missile launchers, the entire battleship deck and all the pedestrian passages are all made of this kind of glass, which is isolated from the outside world, and even in space in the future, human beings can move on these passages and decks without hindrance.
Because these special glasses are all specially made for future space warships, this kind of glass can not only block all kinds of cosmic rays to protect the human beings on the deck from all kinds of cosmic rays, and no matter how the temperature of the outside world changes, as long as it does not exceed plus 1,000 degrees and minus 200 degrees, the temperature of the other side of these glasses will never exceed 30 degrees. And the strength and hardness of these glasses have reached the level of 90! This has surpassed most of the special alloys, of course, there is still a gap compared with the special alloys produced by Zhu Lei's own factory!
When he came to a battleship's main gun, he found that the battleship's main gun and other large-caliber electromagnetic railguns were very different from the electromagnetic railguns used in the original test-firing.
One of the most striking is the track length of the electromagnetic railgun, that is, the length of the barrel is much longer than the original, according to his visual observation, the barrel of the current electromagnetic railgun is at least one-third longer than the barrel of the original electromagnetic railgun, followed by the caliber of the electromagnetic railgun has now increased to 600 mm.
However, the turret of the electromagnetic railgun is much smaller than the original, and the original triple gun has also become a quadruple gun, which looks a little incongruous, and there is always a feeling that a trolley carries the cannon, this is because there are no complex mechanical parts and the reset device of the gun in the turret of the electromagnetic railgun, because these are not needed for the electromagnetic railgun.
Moreover, these electromagnetic railguns are fully automatic, and there is no need to operate them manually at all, whether it is firing or loading, they are all done automatically.
