Chapter 643 Armament
When people enter the darkroom again for 30 minutes, even after the strong heat dissipation of the ventilation system, they can still feel the heat rushing to their faces as soon as they enter.
The "Blazing Sun" only ignited for a second, but it had completely burned through the 1-meter-thick steel block on the front, and the sandbags that had been piled up against the wall behind it and were wet with water were also broken and collapsed, apparently overpowered.
The power output of nearly 10 megawatts in that second directly caused the entire steel to be heated, and although it looked like normal, the slight heat emitted still proved its current high temperature.
The middle area of the attack has a large hole about 8 cm in diameter, and the surrounding area is attached to the molten steel that solidifies when it flows downward, and looks like plastic inserted by a red iron rod.
A small part of the inner wall is extremely smooth, as fine as a polished surface of a stream of particles, showing an eerie bright color.
Everyone resisted the urge to come forward and touch it, and carefully observed around the pierced steel target, only to find that the burned through cavity was not perfectly cylindrical, and it was irregular in many places.
An officer found a crowbar from the side and struck it vigorously on the hole that had been pierced, making a dull thud.
"I ...... What the fuck. ”
Zhao Xiaowen, who had just asked people to check the verification machine, also came over, and also sighed with some surprise:
"Because we couldn't be sure of the power, we had previously limited the total output to less than 1.5 megawatts, and this was the first time we had an all-out attack, but luckily we had sandbags, otherwise the walls would have had to be made holes.
The 25-minute limit output time was only tested on the light source, and the plasma mirror combination was only tried for a maximum of 7 seconds, and a different place was required to perform the full test. ”
"How much will this thing decay when launched from space?"
An older expert asked a question, he only said his surname "Lu" when he introduced himself, he was the director of a digital research institute, and he was the first person to notice the anomaly in the wall materials.
"Not much, as long as it does not pass through particularly thick clouds, the attenuation will not exceed 8%, the light source we use is originally relatively short in wavelength, and then after refraction, it has been biased towards violet light, and the attenuation is not high.
However, now our technology can only ensure an effective distance of up to 300 kilometers, and it is better to have about 200 kilometers, and at the same time, if it is to hit ground targets, we do not have such a powerful control technology at present. ”
Lu Qiu: "I remember that you have the precise locking technology of the Chiwu series, and you are in a synchronous orbit. ”
"The terminal spread of the microwave is 1 kilometer in diameter, and it is aimed at a fixed target, unless you plan to bombard the underground fortress with a laser."
Neither of them had any shy hold about what they discussed with each other, in fact, whether it was the base reporting or when Lu Qiu and others flew over, the first thing that came to mind was the space-based laser cannon, after all, the combination of satellite + laser is a familiar guest in the future weapons research of various countries.
However, Zhao Xiaowen's cold water did not disappoint Lu Qiu, after all, for laser weapons at this stage, the main problem is still range and power.
Although the Blazing Sun is large and heavy, it can already be equipped on warships, such as the Type 055, which has just been launched and has not yet entered service, as well as the full range of destroyers after 052C, and even the 054A frigate.
The power demand of 1 megawatt is still easily met, especially for large ships.
And as long as the targeting system can keep up, the ability shown by the Blazing Sun can completely replace medium and short-range, or even long-range air defense missiles, and a laser cannon can support an air defense network of 200 to 300 kilometers, and even directly attack satellites in low-earth orbit, with a high success rate.
The eyes of the three young officers were even hotter, and one of them immediately said:
"Just this verification machine, just change it like it is now, the navy will come to three first, one will be installed on the landing ship for testing, one will be for the aircraft carrier, and one will be for 055!"
"The army also needs it, 18 tons is not heavy...... It's just that the volume is too large, and if it can be mounted on a tracked chassis to accompany the propulsion operation, a regiment's helicopter will have to lie down when it comes! ”
Two people expressed their positions one after another, and the remaining one also said excitedly:
"The Air Force also bought five of them, and they installed them in ...... Just pretend to be a bombard...... On Yun 20, Yun 8 and Yun 9 should also work, right?
No, we have to study the space-based cannon and find a way to get it out, and it can be hit by land, sea and air! ”
His last sentence instantly drew a frown from the other two, but they still seemed to be full of excitement.
Lin Ju finally knew the identities of the three representatives, but the three of them were all wearing dark green uniforms of the army, which looked quite confusing.
But before he could speak, Zhong Chengcheng next to him said to him:
"You'd better transfer this research room to the Qingshan base, it's too complicated here, and it's not easy to keep it secret.
And don't say this thing to anyone...... Hey, you know, when the concept of a laser-smelting satellite was proposed, we thought about its weapon use, but we didn't think it would be a few years to make it.
Now we still have to think of a way to see how to deal with it, even if we really hit a smelting satellite, I am afraid it will have to cause an international shock. ”
Zhong Cheng can completely imagine the reaction of countries flying this thing in the sky, it is no exaggeration to say that it is more terrifying than deploying a nuclear bomb in space, after all, lasers can also destroy other ground armies and warships, and can interfere in almost all wars on the earth.
However, without waiting for Lin Ju to answer, the naval officer replied dissatisfiedly:
"Secrecy is necessary, but there is no need to hide and pinch, and finally came up with the advantage of being able to overtake in corners, how can there be a reason to abandon it?
Do it boldly, the Navy can also support the development of laser satellites! ”
"What words!"
As soon as the words fell, a louder voice answered:
"The Air Force is about to reorganize the Aerospace Forces, what is the Air and Space without space weapons?
This is a big question about strategy, Director Zhong, the Air Force will definitely not allow the progress of the laser cannon, not only to do it, but also to do it!
The 909 project is about to be completed, there are space fighters, there are laser cannons, and the space forces of the Aerospace Forces have decent weapons and equipment
Even if we buy a hundred less fourth-generation aircraft, we must also get a space-based laser cannon! ”
Air Force reshuffling of the Aerospace Forces?
Lin Ju was surprised to hear another gossip, and then he looked at a few people, and they began to be lively again, obviously after seeing the results of the experiment, their emotions were very high, and they were so excited that they forgot their identities.
However, the five technical experts rarely talked and kept thinking, Director Lu touched his chin and thought for a long time, and asked Zhao Xiaowen thoughtfully:
"What is the target power and magnification of your smelting satellites?"
"The light source is 1 megawatt, and the magnification is 500 to 1000 times or more...... It's going to be iterated in two to three years. ”
"Chief Engineer Zhao, if this is the case, then it should be EAST that cooperates closely with you, not us."
