Chapter 57: Pat on the head
Ge Dongdong was born with a thunderbolt physique, and he has an unimaginable understanding of electromagnetism. With the help of scientific knowledge of electromagnetism, he has become a master of controlling lightning and the pinnacle of law!
Today, Neptune has six pillars in its research and development:
Huang Mingshan, the leader of theoretical research, and also took into account computers;
Lin Yinghao, who is in charge of aerospace theory and technology research, and his new wife Zhu Min, even because Lin Yinghao discovered the mass-energy formula, are also in charge of nuclear energy, etc., but nuclear energy requires the cooperation of multiple departments;
and the general person in charge of life and medical care, chemistry, etc., is Zhou Xueyao;
The representative figure in charge of applied science is Zhang Xinhan, who is in charge of aerospace; Zhang Xinhan himself is also the main person in charge of the formation and magic weapon of the Dayang Group;
There is also Qu Haichao, who is the Minister of Education of the Dayang Group, but also serves as a translator of ancient civilizations, and is responsible for translating all the technologies, terms, and specifications of ancient civilizations into technologies that can be directly used for reference and even use at present; this work is not something that ordinary people can do.
Finally, the person in charge of electromagnetic technology is Ge Dong.
However, when Zhang Hao came, Ge Dong was studying "Zhou Tiangong" - Ge was a little yearning for the realm of cave and void.
Seeing Zhang Hao coming, Ge Dong put the internal printed publications of Dayang Group in his hand on the table, and then stood up to greet him.
Zhang Hao nodded and didn't say anything. There are seriousness and lightness within the Dayang Group. If you do your job well, no one will care what you do.
In fact, the scientific research work within the Neptune Group is relatively easy. Scientific research is not something that can be solved by working overtime. It is necessary for scientific research personnel to have sufficient interests, freedom, hobbies, etc., and only under the premise of ensuring these will there be a relatively strict system.
Zhang Hao nodded and found a place to sit down. There are drawings everywhere, some hand-drawn and some printed, but most of them are hand-drawn.
Glancing at the unfinished drawings in front of Ge Dong, Zhang Hao asked, "How is the electromagnetic giant cannon technology?"
Ge Dong touched his chin embarrassedly: "I have encountered several bottlenecks for the time being, and I am groping, and I am also asking Qu Haichao for help, hoping to find a solution in the technology of the Xuanhuang civilization, or learn from it." ”
"What are they?"
"There are three main aspects. The first is the friction problem of the rail gun. With the increase of speed, the friction problem between the projectile and the guide rail can no longer be ignored. At present, I want to study magnetic levitation technology, but the magnetic field control is not stable.
The second is the issue of voltage and current. The technology of the rail cannon is simple and crude. As long as the voltage is large enough and the current is large enough, the rail cannon can exert the power of destroying the world. But, this is only theoretical.
At present, our maximum controllable safety voltage is 3.8 million thunder, and the maximum safe current is 3000 electricity. But in the actual process, the voltage of 2.6 million and the current of 1200 are the peak power. This power can only last for 20 seconds, beyond which the equipment will overheat and burn out.
Compared to the minimum power of one billion per meter of lightning, the difference is too great. And if it can't reach the power of lightning, the rail cannon won't have much power even in space.
The third is the material. As the speed of the rail cannon increases, the reaction becomes more and more difficult to ignore. Whether it's firing turrets or shells, more robust materials are needed. Nanomaterials are okay for the time being, but they can only be said to be 'okay'.
In particular, the shells of the rail gun must be strong enough.
We tested it with a shell removed from the Liulidao spacecraft, and at maximum power, it could cause a thinner shell to dent, but the shells of the rail gun themselves were broken like eggs. In this case, at least half of the attack power cannot be used.
In fact, whether it is wires, magnets, booster equipment, etc., most of the bottlenecks are related to the bottleneck of materials. ”
Zhang Hao listened and nodded lightly, "Materials are the foundation of all science and industry. But the breakthrough of materials is also the most difficult. This point is indeed not something that can be solved in a hurry.
Let's start with the materials from the Xuanhuang civilization.
In addition, you can try to start with atomic properties, electromagnetic characteristics, etc. At present, the main research focuses on inorganic materials.
Also, ceramics are an ancient material that can be processed from clay into sturdy ceramics. Have you ever thought about using similar means to produce ceramics with metal matrices?
Of course, I'm just an idea, you can think about it.
In short, there are no shortcuts to scientific development, and everyone should not be discouraged. And scientific development needs to be boldly conceived and carefully verified!"
Ge Dong shrugged, Mr. Zhang, you said it easily, but you know how much hair we have lost. If you want me to say that this scientific research must first burn the brain, and then explode the liver.
Zhang Hao chatted with Ge Dong about the general situation again, and proposed to take a look at the latest rail gun that was being tested at the moment.
Although Zhang Hao has always supported his investment in scientific research and does not interfere with the research process, the research results still need to be tested. You can't spend money and you don't have anything.
The rail cannon is placed in a valley, and the breath of the cave master floats around the valley, and whoever wants to come in and visit without permission must be prepared to come and go.
Far away, Zhang Hao saw the latest successful research of the rail gun. It was an industrial product of a long iron and steel dragon.
Ge Dong pointed to the rail cannon in the distance and said proudly: "This is the most successful rail gun made so far. The rail cannon is 1,322 meters long and has an overall height of 28 meters, and is driven by 6 large Lingshi power generation units. The maximum power is 2.6 million voltages and 1,200 currents.
Lingshi power generation is costly, but flexible and fast. At present, we are also studying the energy storage structure of Lingshi.
The caliber of the rail gun is 65 mm, which is the best caliber of current technology after repeated calculations and verification.
The smaller the caliber and the smaller the projectile, the faster the acceleration of the rail gun, but the faster the speed, the shorter the force time, and the lower the overall kinetic energy.
But the larger the projectile, the slower the speed, the longer the force time, and the greater the overall dynamic capacity. But in this case, the launch speed will be slower and it will lose its strategic significance.
How to choose the average value between caliber and velocity, we have built a complex mathematical model.
The caliber is 65 mm, and a nano-tungsten steel projectile is used, the projectile density is 15, the projectile diameter is 65 mm, the length is 278 mm, and the weight is 12 kg.
The projectile stays in the guide for 1.4 seconds, and the speed of ejection can reach 16 times the speed of sound. ”
Zhang Hao listened and frowned slightly: "I remember that when attacking the Xuanhuang Group, the speed of the rail cannon exceeded 20 times the speed of sound. And the rail guns were not big at that time. How to study more...... The more 'stable'?"
Ge Dong's face was a little embarrassed: "That...... At that time, the mass of the projectile was only 0.4 kilograms, which was completely incomparable with the current projectile of 12 kilograms.
What we are going to study now is not a toothpick-like barrel, but a cannon.
In addition, the original technology was clever, borrowing a lot of formations and magic weapon technology, but now it is purely scientific and technological creation.
We don't know much about the formations, so it's okay to borrow them in a short time. But we can't do that in science.
Also, as the mass of the projectile increases, the technical difficulty rises sharply. Especially the current, only the refined nano-silver can withstand the harsh current. But the cost was too high, and we didn't adopt it. Now it uses refined single crystal copper.
In fact, the main reason now is that the material technology is not up to standard. Otherwise, we can increase the power of the rail cannon by more than three times. If you add the means of formations and magic weapons, you can increase it by three or five times. ”
Zhang Hao nodded casually, "Let's try this rail cannon first." The material thing, more on that later. ”
Ge Dong immediately got busy. It didn't take long for the staff to be ready. After the countdown was over, Zhang Hao's eyes narrowed.
But when the staff pressed the button, a faint, cork-like sound was heard, and the launch was over.
In the next moment, I saw a target mountain at the end of the line of sight, about 50 kilometers away, crumbling and dusty.
During the firing of the rail gun, there was no electric light - the rail gun that was previously built by means of magic weapons and formations would be electric and light every time it was fired.
In addition, there is no huge noise like shells during the firing of the rail gun, let alone gushing flames and gunsmoke.
Zhang Hao looked back at the rail cannon like a steel dragon at this time, and paid more attention to it.
Without those optoelectronic effects and no noise, this rail cannon is perfect for stealth sneak attacks. However, Zhang Hao still has to see the effect of destruction.
50 kilometers flew in a while. Far away, Zhang Hao opened his mouth slightly, destroying the effect, which could be called brutal, and when he got closer, Zhang Hao stood in the void, quietly looking at the mountain peaks below.
The first half of the mountain only collapsed, but some of the mountain structure remained, but at the back of the mountain, it completely collapsed.
Half of the mountain peak was completely turned into rubble, and the slope with a radius of more than 300 meters collapsed and slipped. There were even large pieces of rocks that flew out of the distance of a thousand meters and crashed into the opposite peak halfway up the mountain.
Zhang Hao estimated that the power of this rail cannon was indeed far greater than the power when he first conquered the Xuanhuang Group.
The power of the rail cannon is directly proportional to the square of mass and velocity, and in order to maximize the power of the rail gun, it is necessary to find a balance between the square of mass and velocity.
However, the truth is so, but 16 times the speed of sound...... Still too slow. If the master of the law phase escapes for his life at any cost, he can almost reach this speed. If the master of the cave void is prepared, he can catch up and take off the rail cannon shells in flight.
Therefore, Zhang Hao was still a little disappointed with the research of the temporary rail gun.
Zhang Hao first gave Ge Dong some encouragement, and then set a goal for Ge Dong: "We are now in a race against time. So be it, give you a goal.
Let the speed of the rail gun first, reach the orbital speed. That's 25.3 kilometers per second. Equivalent to 50.6 times the speed of sound. Let's calculate it at 50 times the speed of sound. ”
Mr. Zhang finally learned to pat his head.
"Ah......" Ge Dong was suddenly a little dumbfounded.
"I believe in you!" Zhang Hao patted Ge Dong's shoulder vigorously. After a pause, Zhang Hao continued to speak, "In fact, when the rail cannon is initially accelerated, it can be borrowed from explosives, or high-temperature and high-pressure air ejection. This allows the railgun to gain a high muzzle velocity.
Also, rail guns don't have to fire only a single projectile. It is possible to try to study the means of shotgun.
In the future, the rail cannon will be able to attack not only ships, but also legions.
I know it may be difficult, but ...... What we have to face is the Red River Civilization that once exterminated the Xuanhuang Civilization. ”
The dissatisfaction that had just appeared on Ge Dong's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by responsibility, mission, and firm will.
Zhang Hao came back from an inspection and immediately issued a batch of rewards to Ge Dong and his research team. The stick and sweet dates cooperate with each other to fully mobilize everyone's passion.
Then, Zhang Hao gave the next plan and personally titled it: electromagnetic cannon!
In Zhang Hao's words, that is: there is no craziest, only more crazy; as a scientific researcher, you must dare to think, you must think wildly, and be a scientist in a decent manner.
After inspecting Ge Dong's research, Zhang Hao came to the next door, and there was another backup technique for jet lag.
Although rail gun technology is considered to be a key tackle, it cannot put all eggs in one basket. The rest of the related technologies need to go hand in hand.
In addition, there is a research here, which is the study of energy waves - including but not limited to electromagnetism, light waves, aura, etc. The previous True Element Jamming Bomb was a technological product of energy wave research.
The main person in charge of the research of energy waves is Lin Yinghao.
In aerospace research, Zhu Min and Zhang Xinhan cooperated in research, while Lin Yinghao focused on energy.
As the pioneer of Dayang Group's discovery of the mass-energy formula, Lin Yinghao began to get involved in the world's largest field energy research - time and space not long ago, under the guidance of Zhang Hao and the influence of some Xuanhuang civilization materials!
The relationship between time, space, speed, and mass was almost analyzed by Lin Yinghao. Now Lin Yinghao is even starting to research and build the craziest machine in scientific research - the collider!
Of course, the initial ideas were all guided by Zhang Hao little by little. But it must be said that Lin Yinghao is not simple.
When Zhang Hao arrived, Lin Yinghao was directing the staff to conduct the first inspection and verification of the collider's drawings and designs. Compared with Ge Dong's research base, Lin Yinghao's research base is full of large and small computers.
Moreover, Huang Mingshan, Leng Fengxue, Yu Yueyun, Liu Ming and other senior scientific researchers within the Dayang Group are almost all there. The collider was designed and built using almost all of the state-of-the-art technology.
After Zhang Hao came, Lin Yinghao explained beside him: If you want to study field energy directly, there is no way to start;
Just like space, we all know that we live in space, but can you touch space? The answer is yes: you can't see it, you can't touch it, you can't hear it, you can't smell it!
"But based on the wave-particle duality of light, and the relationship between electron currents and electromagnetic fields, we can study field energy indirectly by studying particles.
So the first step, we're going to build the collider. The first stage is the Atomic Collider. ”
When Zhang Hao heard this, he couldn't help but nod in admiration and give a compliment.
I don't want Lin Yinghao to be a little embarrassed and said, "But...... At present, the funds are a bit insufficient, and the poor ...... Somewhat...... A bit much. ”
