After finishing the "visit" of the electromagnetic gun, Chen Nian did not delay much, but left the test site directly and went to Wang Weibin's office.

In the office, according to the information in his head, he proposed several optimization plans to Wang Weibin.

These include the addition of more advanced damping modules, the design of quick rail changes, the further optimization of fire control radar accuracy, and more.

Each of these suggestions corresponds to a major obstacle to the extreme improvement of the performance of the electromagnetic gun, and Wang Weibin's team has spent a lot of time and resources to explore, but the results are extremely limited.

However, it only took Chen Nian an afternoon to see the problem of this electromagnetic gun, and at the same time gave a detailed solution.

——

Although verbally, Chen Nian only chatted briefly, the professionalism he showed was enough for Wang Weibin to be amazed.

He thought to himself:

It is worthy of the god who came up with the initial design plan, maybe he still has more advanced and complex technology in his head, but because it is difficult to realize it now, he did not come up with it immediately

With such an idea, Wang Weibin's attitude towards Chen Nian became more and more respectful, which made Chen Nian even a little uncomfortable.

After repeated tugging, Chen Nian finally accepted the tea given to him by Wang Weibin, then turned around and got into the car and returned to Xi'an University of Technology.

There is still one and a half months left before graduation, and he plans to finish all the projects at hand in this one and a half months.

Once you've decided on your location, you'll be able to take a step forward and start your new journey.

According to his plan, that would be the beginning of near-future technology.

Starting with metallic hydrogen, a series of world-changing technologies await him.

Nuclear fusion, brain-computer, biotechnology, aerospace combat equipment, laser weapons.

These technologies will gradually appear in the next ten years, with their help, Huaxia will completely get rid of the disadvantages, officially embark on the road of "hegemony".

And at the same time as Chen Nian returned from 206, on the other side of the sea.

In the office of the May Meeting, Houston looked at the report in front of him with a serious face, and while smoking a cigarette, he asked:

"So, has the current situation been determined? Huaxia did launch the helicopter project and also purchased the Mi-26 from the Russian side? ”

The assistant on the side nodded and replied:

"Yes, this information has been verified by many parties and is indeed true."

"There is information that the project they launched this time should also be in the direction of heavy transport helicopters, which is in charge of AVIC 2 Group."

"We don't have a reliable judgment on their intentions for this project yet."

"But it seems that this has nothing to do with our actions in Sudan."

Hearing the assistant's words, Houston nodded slightly.

He really couldn't figure out what role heavy transport helicopters could play in the current situation in Africa.

According to his idea, even if it is to support Africa, the first thing to develop should be helicopter gunships.

After all, helicopter gunships can basically be regarded as "rampant" in that land that lacks air defense, and if they want to actively intervene in the conflict to suppress the situation, this is indeed a good choice.

Can carry helicopters?

I don't understand.

Houston sighed and closed the report in his hand.

Since you don't have an idea, you just don't want to think about it.

After a series of failures, the Sultan became his last straw, and now his whole mind was tied to the dilapidated capital, and he didn't have much energy to pay attention to the movements of China.

As long as their warships in the Djibouti military port are still blocked by the Fifth Fleet, they will not be able to make too many waves.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and asked:

"How's the other party's 055 project progressing?"

"It's fast, and judging by satellite footage, it's possible that it will be completed before the end of the year."

"So fast?"

Houston was shocked, and then continued to ask:

"Do you have any information on the new technology?"

"There are some, but it's not clear for the time being. What we do know is that the destroyer has made improvements to the vertical hair system, with the possibility of using new shipborne missiles. ”

"In addition, there are also upgrades in terms of naval guns, judging from the reserved position, the size of this naval gun is slightly larger than that of conventional naval guns-—— it is possible that they will directly go to the electromagnetic gun."

"Railgun!?"

Houston's eyes widened instantly, and he paused for several seconds before he recovered from his shock.

"How could they possibly have a railgun? According to previous information, their research and development progress in the field of electromagnetic guns is not much faster than ours, and even if they succeed in building a prototype, they will not meet the standards for ships, right? ”

"So that's just speculation."

The assistant also sighed, and then said:

"That's exactly what I'm going to report to you, our satellites have captured a lot of smoke at the test site of a research institute in Chang'an, China, and they seem to be testing a new artillery."

"-——No, not artillery."

"Although the specific damage is not visible from the air, judging from the number of targets, the power of this cannon is extremely high."

"Linked to the fact that this research institute has been carrying out research and development work on electromagnetic guns, we have reason to believe that this new artillery is an electromagnetic gun."

Hearing this, Houston's expression became solemn.

Electromagnetic cannon.

In fact, the history of the United States in carrying out electromagnetic gun research is not short, but the problem is that their progress is not satisfactory.

According to the latest report of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Branch, although the results in their hands are powerful, the problems of rapid charging, rapid reloading, and continuous launch have not been solved.

In other words, the cannon is there, but it can't be used at all.

And now, the assistant actually said that the electromagnetic cannon made by Huaxia has reached the level where it can be put on the ship?

Even if it doesn't go through the brain, Houston's first reaction is denial.

From the bottom of his heart, he still felt that although Huaxia was indeed constantly catching up in some areas.

But in the most cutting-edge technical field of "electromagnetic guns", they still have no chance.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke:

"Stay tuned and report back to me as soon as possible if there is any progress."

"I still think that the so-called electromagnetic cannon on board the ship is just the most radical conjecture."

"They won't have such technical prowess, and they shouldn't have-—— and even if they do, they will be after us!"

A worried look flashed in the assistant's eyes, and he wanted to say something, but finally shut up.

Forget it, that's not a big deal in itself.

Even if their electromagnetic cannon is actually built, so what?

The contrast between strength and weakness does not change in a short period of time.

Perhaps, the biggest victim will only be the Zumwalt.

After all, it has no plans to equip it with an electromagnetic cannon.

However, some things whose outcomes have been predestined for a long time will never change because of the US side's doubts.

In their opinion, Huaxia's breakthrough in electromagnetic cannon technology is pure nonsense, but in fact, just one and a half months later, the first generation of shipborne electromagnetic gun developed by Huaxia completed the debugging and was officially tested on the ship.

At the end of June, in a dock of Dalian Shipyard.

Wang Weibin looked at the 052C destroyer in front of him with relief, and his eyes flashed with undisguised excitement and pride.

He breathed a deep sigh of relief, and then said to Captain Qi Yue beside him:

"This cannon will be handed over to you for use in the future, and then we will arrange technicians to test it with the ship, and if there is any problem, we will find them, if it can't be solved, you can record it first, and then do maintenance when it docks."

Qi Yue smiled and replied:

"I don't need you to tell you about it."

"Not to mention a cannon, I don't know how many new ships have been tested, and the earliest sea trial of 052C was done by the team I led."

"Don't worry, as long as there is nothing wrong with the technology, I promise that there will be no mistakes in the operation."

"Technically, there will be absolutely no problem."

Wang Weibin said confidently.

Jokes aside, although this cannon seems to have been manufactured for a short time, they have been deeply involved in the technical field for more than 20 years.

Coupled with the blessing of Chen Nian's key technology, its overall performance has been optimized to a "rock-solid" level.

Even under extreme conditions, the failure rate is extremely low.

As long as it is not malicious sabotage, it is even more difficult to make this gun have problems than traditional naval guns.

Hearing his answer, Qi Yue smiled again, then shook his head lightly, and said:

"After all, it can only be used as a test bed. If only this 052C was really a 052C with an electromagnetic gun. ”

"Now, at best, it's just a shell with a railcannon."

Wang Weibin nodded and said:

"Indeed, in order to ensure the energy of this cannon, we have dismantled a lot of vertical hair modules to make space, right?"

"I heard that the powertrain has also been changed, and the gas turbine has been replaced?"

"Yes, the gas turbine was replaced, but to be honest, this belongs to catching ducks on the shelves."

"In the first place, the 052C was not designed for electromagnetic guns, and its cabin layout was all the layout of a traditional destroyer."

"This time, in order to ensure the power supply, we installed a large number of additional power equipment, which occupies a considerable amount of space."

"In addition, 052C has not carried out the transformation of ship comprehensive power, in fact, from a certain point of view, we are equivalent to adding an additional power generation system."

"The efficiency of this system is not high, and it takes at least 20 minutes to complete a charge."

"That's why I said, this is an empty shell with an electromagnetic cannon-—— and its combat effectiveness is really not good."

"Originally, I also let you test, not let you go to war."

Wang Weibin pursed his mouth and continued:

"In the future, we will definitely carry out a comprehensive transformation of ships that need electromagnetic guns on ships."

"In the future, we will also develop a relatively small power and small electromagnetic gun, which can be used as a secondary gun."

"When the time comes, you don't have to affect the original layout of the ship, and your worries will be gone."

"I hope you can hurry."

Qi Yue pretended to glance at Wang Weibin seriously, quite like the "ardent expectation" of the superior to the subordinate.

Wang Weibin was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, daring to love this brother is waiting for him here.

He smiled helplessly, skipped the topic of subsequent models, and instead asked:

"Where is your destination on this voyage? Can you reveal? ”

Qi Yue pondered for a moment and replied:

"I can't reveal it to ordinary people, but for you, it's definitely okay."

"Anyway, your people have to follow, there's nothing to hide-—— we're going to the southwest sea."

"The Southwest Sea? Not tested offshore? ”

"Not there."

Qi Yue shook his head and explained:

"This time, we didn't just want to test."

"In fact, this will be the first official appearance of our electromagnetic cannon-—— and the official debut of the world's first electromagnetic cannon with combat value."

"So, we have to make the most of the impact."

"You should be able to understand what I mean, on the western sea, we have reclaimed a lot of islands."

"But on those islands, we really lack absolute suppression."

"Those people are like flies, after seizing our 'loopholes', they start to learn to find us unhappy in their own way."

"And this way, in a sense, really works."

"After all, it is impossible for a fighter to take off for a few small fishing boats, and it is even more impossible for a bomber to fly over their heads all year round."

"But the electromagnetic cannon is a good choice, the cost is low, the power is high, and it is suitable for fighting flies."

"Want to fight?"

Wang Weibin's brows furrowed.

Admittedly, he hoped that the weapon he had forged with his own hands would play its due role on the battlefield.

But. At this point in time, it seems too early.

In his heart, he still prefers to see peace.

It's just a metaphor, we're not so stupid to stir up trouble without thinking about the consequences."

"We just want to stand up, and there are many ways to stand up, not just 'fighting'."

"Understood, I'm going to kill chickens and monkeys."

"No, insinuation, to be exact."

"Innuendo? How so? ”

Qi Yue smiled mysteriously and did not answer directly.

"Why don't you go with the boat? Maybe you know? ”

Wang Weibin hurriedly waved his hand and replied:

"I'm not free! This cannon is not finished after it is built, and it will take a lot of time to optimize and modify it later. Forget it, I'll tell you when you get back. ”

"I wish you all the best!"

"Of course, it's smooth sailing!"

The two waved goodbye, and then Qi Yue walked towards the warship in the distance.

More than an hour later, the warship, which had been prepared for a long time, officially set sail.

It sailed out of the dock, escorted by two other 052Cs, heading out into the depths.

As Qi Yue said, its goal is not simply to conduct a "sea test", but to completely smash the heads of some vicious wolves with this weapon that no one has ever seen.

The flies of the western seas did not yet know that their end was coming, and they still diligently carried the mud and sand, trying to compete with the Sky Whale.

However, they will soon learn that such "hard work" will only be in vain in the face of a huge difference in strength
