142 supersonic weapons against the sky

A feeling written at the beginning, I watched the Navy parade yesterday, and I burst into tears while watching it. How many years have passed, and our Chinese Navy has finally been able to pull out a decent fleet. After playing naval battle games for many years, this time I finally don't have to envy the large fleets that only others have. All Chinese here can proudly say that we are finally a naval power.

In fact, since Xiao Chu said 11 times the speed of sound, all the weapons scientists who came to visit were already crazy. What's the concept? With an initial velocity of more than 3,700 meters per second, it is the fastest of all known weapons.

Lao Mi is the forerunner of electromagnetic weapons, which have been revealed in the Star Wars program since the seventies of the last century, but due to the end of the Cold War, the plan was shelved, and then the program was restarted at the beginning of the new century. After the continuous upgrading of the old rice, they have created countless models of electromagnetic guns.

There are several of the most classic, one is a large electromagnetic cannon, more than ten meters long, a single ejection can launch a ten-kilogram metal warhead at five times the speed of sound, with a range of more than 100 kilometers. One is a follow-up version of the near-combat electromagnetic gun, which can fire a special metal armor-piercing projectile of 300 grams at nine times the speed of sound and has a range of more than 200 kilometers. And the destructive energy of this weapon is quite amazing, it can penetrate 15 layers of 85 mm special steel plates at a time, and the homogeneous breakdown depth even exceeds 1200 mm, so it can be said that there is nothing in service that can be stopped.

Another immature electromagnetic cannon was installed on warships, which was originally planned to be installed on Zumwalt-class destroyers, but due to the large volume of electrical storage materials, the warship lacked space and could not be installed, and finally it was not installed.

And this electromagnetic cannon is already an upgraded product, which is different from the two single-stage acceleration but adopts a more advanced multi-stage acceleration mode, which is said to be able to increase an armor-piercing projectile of about 2 kg to nine times the speed of sound. Don't look at it as nine times the speed of sound, but 300 grams and two kilograms are not a concept at all, and the kinetic energy contained in them is more than 100 times worse.

Let's put it this way, a 300-gram projectile with nine times the speed of sound can easily kill any tank in an instant, but against a battleship with super defense, at most a steel plate will collapse. And if a two-kilogram projectile hits, the effect is estimated to be smashed by a small half-pull battleship. If the projectile also has self-detoxification performance, then the effect on area strikes is exaggerated to the extreme.

And what is the concept of 12 times the speed of sound? To put it bluntly, even an ordinary steel warhead, at this speed, can easily penetrate the armor of all known warships, but the weight of the warhead is a bit small, but the armor-piercing projectile can be improved, with this muzzle velocity, hitting a small ship is simply a cannon.

In fact, this is the same as hitting the human body with a 12.7 mm caliber sniper rifle, the muzzle velocity, the kinetic energy of the bullet, can easily tear the flesh apart, and it will definitely not hit people like a small-caliber sniper rifle.

"Okay, after the speed, let's talk about power consumption and rate of fire, this weapon we used the newly researched small-scale preparation of graphene batteries." This, in the eyes of everyone, it is estimated that Xiao Chu is not lying, because although graphene cannot be prepared on a large scale, it is really not too difficult to prepare in the laboratory, and many university laboratories can handle it. Not to mention laboratories at the national level.

Even now, many new satellites are mixed with a part of graphene batteries, and the Star Group is so powerful, it should not be difficult to prepare some graphene batteries in the laboratory.

"I will not be ugly about the performance of graphene batteries, I guess everyone knows better than me, although we produce a simplified version, but its reserves are also terrifying, a charge can supply an electric car to run tens of thousands of kilometers. And the charging speed of this battery is very fast, and it can't be used for 10 minutes when fully charged, and if the power supply continues, it is a big test for the power generation energy of the ship. ”

"Then this is a silicon silver capacitor, the pressurization and temporary storage properties of electrical energy are higher than all the capacitor devices on the market now, the instantaneous power provided is very powerful, I used twelve groups, each group of 9, can instantly provide tens of millions of volts of voltage, this kind of capacitor is very expensive, the production is not suitable, so the price is very high, not cheaper than graphene battery packs. In fact, these two items already account for more than half of the total value. ”

"Let's not talk about the aiming equipment of the robotic arm, let's talk about the observation equipment." Look at the laser guide above the muzzle? It can measure the distance, can measure the wind direction, and can also detect the target structure, and after installing the identification computer, the displayed can completely distinguish between friend and foe, and if the enemy is not set to manual operation, all enemies who want to attack will be devastated.

"I've made foolish improvements to this thing, as long as you can use a tablet, as long as you lock on the target you find, and the rest of the attack commands, you can send them whenever you want. Of course, the target must be within the striking range. ”

Looking at the equipment like a large hand drill, everyone felt like a bunker. Of course, the shock is much higher than other emotions, with this thing, our 105 naval guns can be thrown, less than two tons of weight. Haha, let's talk about 10 frigates, and even if Xiao Chu upgrades and makes them bigger, let's rebuild a few battleships.

Of course, the idea of building a battleship is what the naval bigwigs conjecture, but there is no one who drives a warship without the dream of a giant ship and a cannon, although now it seems that the battleship is completely outdated.

Enthusiastically let everyone discuss for a while, Xiao Chu continued to install, "If everyone thinks that it is a battleship main gun, then you are very wrong, in fact, this thing is a close defense gun, mainly used to fight planes." ”

As Xiao Chu finished speaking, three high-speed flying black dots appeared in the sky, approaching the experimental site.

All of you here are experts, and many people can tell at once from the distance and speed of the target that the speed of these small aircraft is at least twice the speed of sound.

It's going against the sky.

"Don't worry, that's today's target plane, and I'm building a little turbojet to play. Three-plane formation, speed of Mach 2, altitude 5000 meters. The target is locked, and it is fired randomly after locking. ”

"Buzz...... Squeak ......" "Hum...... Squeak ......" "Hum...... Squeak......"

There were three loud bangs in a row, and after only five seconds, three sparks burst out in the sky.

"The ultimate rate of fire of three rounds per second, as long as the power supply is sufficient, the charging time after every five rounds can be reduced to one minute, this thing can intercept all incoming vehicles below five times the speed of sound, including missiles. However, the hit rate is yet to be tested. ”

"Of course, according to my calculations, the hit rate of targets below 3 times the speed of sound is definitely higher than 60%, and targets with two times the speed of sound also account for more than 80%. The interception rate of targets below the speed of sound can basically be maintained by 100 percent, and of course the target distance cannot exceed the range of 5 kilometers. Beyond the five-kilometer range, the above data will have to be retested, but this prototype can be sold to you for research, whether you want to reverse it or dismantle it, whatever, as long as you pay for it, it's yours. ”
