In fact, for the planning of the electromagnetic gun, the official was earlier than Chen Nian.

In the 80s of the last century, the theoretical demonstration of electromagnetic guns in China has been basically completed.

It sounds magical—especially for those who lived through that era, and I'm afraid it will find even more magical.

After all, when you were still pedaling bicycles, wearing bell-bottoms, and rural children swarming to the village chief's house to watch black-and-white TV at night, saving up money for a winter just to eat a popsicle in a thermos bucket in the summer, the country has actually begun to think about electromagnetic cannons

No matter how you think about it, it feels very disconnected.

However, this is exactly what happened.

Not only theoretical research, since the 80s, the practical process of domestic electromagnetic guns has progressed rapidly, and by this point in time in 2007, even without the blessing of Chen Nian, China's first vehicle-mounted anti-tank electromagnetic gun has been born.

The power of this electromagnetic gun has never been disclosed, but according to open information, its rate of fire can reach 15 rounds per minute, and the muzzle velocity of 3,500 meters per second, which can easily penetrate the armor of all active tanks.

There is even a legend circulating on the Internet that has not been verified, that is, the mysterious bullet hole in the side armor of an M1A2 in the Iraq War was caused by the experimental model of this electromagnetic gun.

Of course, this claim is necessarily not credible.

However, there is such a legend circulating, which also reflects that Huaxia's research in the field of electromagnetic guns is indeed at the forefront.

And now, what Chen Nian needs to solve is not the problem of the comprehensive design of the electromagnetic gun.

In this regard, the engineers who have been immersed in it for a long time know better than him.

There were only two problems he had to solve, high-power capacitors, and high-temperature muzzle ablation.

When it comes to ultra-high-power capacitors, the principle is actually quite simple.

The greater the potential difference, the greater the current released in a short period of time, and the larger the current, the greater the electromagnetic force of the guide rail that the electromagnetic gun can produce, and the initial velocity of the shell increases, and the power increases accordingly.

Therefore, obtaining a capacitor with higher power is the key to increasing the power of the electromagnetic gun.

As early as 4 years ago, Grandma Chen has laid the foundation for this technology through the research and development of hot isostatic pressing equipment, and after four years of development, Huaxia's high-power capacitor technology has already been at the forefront of the world, and there is no problem in meeting the requirements of electromagnetic guns.

However, the capacitance solution does not mean that the electromagnetic gun can be easily manufactured.

Because capacitors only solve the problem of "power", in order to make the electromagnetic gun really reach the usable "lifespan", Chen Nian must also solve a more serious and destructive problem, that is, the skin effect.

In a word, the skin effect is the process by which the electromagnetic heat is generated, which is enough to cause severe ablation of the shell and the electromagnetic guide, and even directly plasmize the tail of the projectile when fired.

Such electromagnetic ablation is inevitable in the process of electromagnetic cannon firing, and if we want to overcome this difficulty, we must make a breakthrough in materials science, using materials that are extremely resistant to high-temperature ablation and have enough strength to manufacture guide rails and shells.

Although Chen Nian has manufactured a series of highly heat-resistant materials, these materials are still insufficient in terms of strength and heat resistance compared to the destructive power caused by the skin effect of the electromagnetic cannon.

Therefore, if you want to solve the problem once and for all, you can only "customize" a new material for the electromagnetic gun guide.

The solution in Chen's plan is simple, that is, to spray a thin film coating on the guide rail that does not affect its conductivity, so as to protect the ablation of the guide rail due to the huge fireball generated by the skin effect.

And this kind of thin film coating material, Chen Nian has long had a plan:

with Alpha silicon carbide.

This thing has high hardness, low density, and wear resistance and high temperature resistance, and most importantly, although its conductivity is not as good as aluminum alloy and tungsten copper alloy, it is not bad enough to affect the current operation of the guide rail.

In addition, according to Chen Nian's previous science and technology tree planning, αSiC is completely on the vertical development route of carbon materials, and due to the preliminary research, the overall analysis consumption of α-SiC is very low.

Less than 3 source points are required.

Compared with Chen Nian's current source point of nearly 160 points, it is no different from not wanting money.

In just half an hour, Chen Nian completed the analysis of α-SiC materials, and he was pleasantly surprised that the technology he obtained this time was not only limited to the production technology and process of silicon carbide itself, but also included a series of expansion technologies.

Among them, the most practical ones include the role of doping and defects in SiC in inducing intrinsic magnetic origin, the regulation of semiconductor magnetism through defect engineering, the nonlinear optical effect of 4HSiC crystals, the preparation of large-area high-quality graphene and SiC/graphene composites by SiC, etc., and the more advanced part, and even directly extended the application of silicon carbide to the field of photocatalysis.

What is this concept?

To put it simply, the third-generation semiconductor technology is composed of silicon carbide and gallium nitride, and now, because of its own technical analysis, the complete development route of silicon carbide has been completed ahead of schedule, and many technologies that originally needed to be developed and broken through slowly will be advanced again.

Chen Nian was vaguely aware of the potential of this technology.

If silicon carbide technology can be commercialized on a large scale ahead of schedule, then the domestic layout in the new energy market will also be greatly boosted.

After all, silicon carbide modules are one of the core technologies to achieve fast battery charging, and it is also an important step in the process of replacing oil with electricity

It was a bonus.

Chen Nianle turned on the computer and began to output relevant technologies.

It took more than two hours to sort out all the technology, and he found Wen Xingdong's intranet mailbox and sent the document directly.

After all, this technology will not only be used in the military industry, but also has great potential in the civilian field, so the China Democratic Development Office should also participate in the development of technology.

And just a few minutes after the email was sent, he received a call from Wen Xingdong.

"Chen Gong, the email has been received!"

"Silicon carbide coating, which we also considered in the early research and development process, but now the domestic silicon carbide industry is too weak, the process is backward, and the material performance is also poor, so it has not been used as the main solution."

"Now, if we can build a supporting industrial system according to your technology, we will directly follow this path to develop in the future!"

Wen Xingdong's voice revealed obvious joy, Chen Nian smiled slightly, and replied:

"Don't you go around the bush with me, don't you just want to ask when the energy will be produced?"

"You can go to Professor Chen Guochen for consultation on this question, I only care about the technology, regardless of the landing."

"However, I estimate that it will not take too long, and there are still several domestic manufacturers trying to make a breakthrough in the field of silicon carbide."

"I suggest that you can do laboratory production first, get a sample, and then go to mass production."

"Understood, understood! I'm relieved when you say that! ”

Wen Xingdong smiled, his mind was guessed by Chen Nian, but he didn't feel particularly embarrassed.

Anyway, it's all for the project, and it's not a big deal to be thick-skinned.

The two chatted a few more words, and Chen Nian asked about the progress of the 055 project.

At present, the basic hull construction work has been completed, and the radar of the 14 places has been prepared."

"Next, we are ready to start the construction and installation of the vertical hair system module, but this missile is a problem."

"Got it, got it."

Chen Nian reluctantly interrupted Wen Xingdong and said bluntly:

"I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

"Whether it's Haihongqi-7 or YJ-9E, it's too weak compared to this battleship, and I'll find a way to upgrade it."

"You wait for my news, there will be results soon."

"Okay, okay-—— do you need to hold off on the construction of the hair module first?"

"No, make the preliminary preparations first."

Hearing this, Wen Xingdong, who was on the other side of the phone, was a little puzzled.

You must know that the design of the vertical hair system is closely related to the design of the missile body, and now that the missiles have not yet been finalized, why are you in a hurry to engage in the vertical hair?

Wouldn't it be more reasonable to wait for the missiles to come out and then design and manufacture them according to the right medicine?

However, he didn't know that what Chen Nian said about "there will be results soon" was actually "there will be results within a day".

Therefore, their work is not suspended for the time being, in fact, there is no difference at all

After hanging up the phone, Chen Nian scratched his head and sat on the chair, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In fact, to be honest, if it is in an ordinary workplace, Wen Xingdong's style may not be able to mix.

In the words of some foreign companies in later generations, he was too "aggressive".

That is, too aggressive, too aggressive, and even too "wolf".

For one purpose, he will use all means to push the relevant people to repeatedly emphasize and repeat requests, even without regard to his own identity.

However, is this character really bad?

At least in Chen Nian's view, for the navy that is currently searching up and down, and even for the current Huaxia, a talent like him is extremely rare.

To engage in technology is to engage in revolution, and the competition in the field of technology is the battlefield.

Without an unscrupulous leader, how can we adapt to the deteriorating international environment?

I have to say that the superiors are still very forward-looking in terms of employing people.

In this case, I can't let him down.

After resting for a while, Chen Nian turned on the system again.

This time, he has to solve the problem of two missiles.

Among them, in terms of air defense, he chose the Haihongqi-26 third-generation three-stage medium-range anti-aircraft missile, the Haihongqi-10E third-generation short-range anti-aircraft missile, and the Haihongqi-29 fourth-generation anti-aircraft missile aimed at ballistic missile strikes, which had just appeared in his previous life and had not yet been put into service.

These three types of anti-aircraft missiles cover the short, medium and long ranges, and can basically deal with all air threats, including hypersonic anti-ship missiles and land-based ballistic missiles.

With their blessings, 055's defenses will reach an extremely terrifying, even unbelievable, level.

In particular, under the layout of the Haihongqi 10E with four bombs in one pit, its threshold of anti-saturation strike capability should be said to exceed the limit of the saturation strike capability of all ships in active service.

Even if you come, if you can't stop me, I'll lose

Even the most powerful shield ship of the United States is nothing more than a younger brother in front of it.

Of course, in addition to defensive capabilities, offensive capabilities must also be sufficiently improved.

Although in the future, low-cost, high-density electromagnetic guns will definitely become the mainstream, but in the near future, missiles will still be the main force of anti-ship, Chen Nian can't do that kind of big step and nonsense, so the role of anti-ship missiles can not be ignored.

In this area, he did not think about the YJ-12 missile commonly used in his previous life, although this thing is also very strong, but after all, it still belongs to the category of conventional anti-ship missiles.

Since you want to be whole, then the whole big one at once.

Directly on the DF-21.

It should be called YJ-21E.

This type of missile was also born in a previous life, but it was not in large-scale service.

After improvement, it can fully adapt to the 055D's vertical hair system, even if it is a pit and a bullet, it can be equipped with a configuration of more than 48 units.

At that time, a high-altitude cruising speed of more than Mach 6 and a terminal penetration speed of more than Mach 10 will become a nightmare for all ships at sea.

In the most extreme case, it is even possible that one or two YJ-21Es can take away a fully formed ship

If there's a downside, it's probably the only downside, it's that it's just too expensive

Therefore, in order to ensure a smooth transition, Chen Nian was very empathetic to add an alternative:

YJ-18.

This is a subsonic combined missile, and the penetration capability is also very strong, but compared to the exaggerated YJ-21E, it is much cheaper.

It is considered to be the degree to which it can be used at this stage and can be equipped on a large scale.

After determining all the equipment plans, Chen Nian did not hesitate, opened the system and began to analyze.

With 5 kinds of missiles, the total source point consumption reached 47 points, and Chen Nian's source point accumulation was wiped out in one fell swoop.

It's worth it, though.

After all these weapons are moved to 055, let alone Zumwalt, even if the alien mine ship in "Super Battleship" comes over, then you have to weigh whether you have enough for a 055 to pack

It took nearly a week for Chen Nian to finally complete the analysis and technical output of all the missiles, and as soon as he got the technology, he immediately contacted Zhu Xuejun, intending to let her lead the research and development of this series of missiles.

The reason is also very simple, Zhu Xuejun has the experience of presiding over the DF-17 missile research and development project, and has a relative advantage in the research and development of the YJ-21 missile.

Zhu Xuejun, who received Chen Nian's call, was not surprised, in her heart, Chen Nian had been silent in the field of "missiles" for two years, and it was time to think of the army's old lover.

As a result, her attitude was exceptionally enthusiastic.

However, when Chen Nian said her purpose, she couldn't be happy again.

"It's all ship-based missiles, huh? Xiao Nian, that is to say, if you are empty, can you figure out how to raise the combat effectiveness of our Second Artillery?"

Listening to Zhu Xuejun's slightly aggrieved tone, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

After a moment of thought, he spoke tactfully:

"Second artillery, don't we have the Dongfeng-41 project now, plus the Dongfeng-17, it is enough for the time being."

"Even if I want to improve the army, I estimate that I will mainly make breakthroughs in the field of helicopters in the future, after all, we are too far behind in this area."

"Okay."

Zhu Xuejun replied helplessly, and then continued:

"Then I will communicate with the CALT side about the missiles you mentioned, and I will do it as the leader, but the specific implementation still needs to cooperate with the third and second hospitals."

"I can't give you an accurate guarantee for the time being, try to control it within 1 year - after all, the technology is there, and it won't drag on for too long."

"Understood, then I'm sorry for you."

"It's not hard, you're hard."

The difference between the portals of the navy and the army is just a joke after dinner, in fact, Zhu Xuejun will not have any resentment towards Chen Nian because of this.

On the contrary, she knows how difficult it is to design a missile.

Even if it is a "monster" like Chen Nian, it must not be easy.

Therefore, from the bottom of her heart, she does feel a little sorry for this junior.

For the sake of China's military industry, he paid too much.

The two casually exchanged a few words, and Chen Nian hung up the phone.

He let out a long sigh of relief and sat quietly behind his desk.

The weapon problem was solved.

So far, all the technical barriers of the 055 and Deep Blue 16 projects have been opened.

Next, it's time to do the step-by-step work.

He's looking forward to the final result.

The birth of these two large ships will completely end the history of the poor and weak Chinese navy.

And the road to the deep blue will also set sail from here
