Chapter 345: Test Shot

Compared with traditional artillery, electromagnetic guns have outstanding and irreplaceable advantages, and their advantages are obvious.

There are six main advantages:

First, the projectiles of the electromagnetic gun are fast, with high accuracy, long range and great power. The group of cannons beside Lichuan can hit about 600 kilometers, which is not ordinary far away. This American anti-ship tomahawk missile can be shot far away. Moreover, the projectiles with huge kinetic energy will destroy them by directly hitting the target, which is extremely powerful. At the same time, the extremely high flight speed can reduce the flight time of the shell, making the shell not suitable for interference, and ensuring the accuracy of the shell.

Second, the projectiles are small in size and light in weight. Electromagnetic shells do not use any propellant, reducing gunpowder loading, so the volume of the shells can usually reach one-eighth of the traditional 120mm artillery shells, which can significantly increase the load capacity of the weapon system and reduce the logistics burden. Significant ships usually can only carry 70 guided missiles ranging from above to below at a time, while electromagnetic railguns can easily load up to thousands at a time, which means the continuous combat capability of the battlefield.

Third, the projectile has good stability. The thrust received by the electromagnetic cannon projectile in the barrel is electromagnetic force, which means that the projectile is very uniform and the electromagnetic thrust is easy to control, so the projectile has extremely high stability, which can obviously greatly improve the hit accuracy.

Fourth, it has good concealment. When the electromagnetic gun is fired, it will not produce flames and smoke, nor will it produce shock waves. It is relatively more concealed in combat and is not easily discovered by the enemy. Moreover, since it is not conventional gunpowder, this can also improve safety and there will be no disasters in the ammunition depot explosion cabin.

Fifth, the projectile emission energy can be adjusted, just like a household induction cooker. Cooking a pot of water can adjust the intensity gear, and burning half a pot of water can adjust the weak gear. Traditional artillery does not have this ability. The same principle is the same. If the target is a large ship with a long distance and thick armor, then adjust the strong electromagnetic force. If the target is weak, such as a civilian ship, the distance is close, the output of the electromagnetic force can be lowered. In short, the electromagnetic force can be quickly adjusted according to the target nature and range, thereby controlling the projectile emission energy.

The last item is relatively economical. Compared with conventional weapons, if the cannon launches medicine costs 60 yuan per joule of energy, the electromagnetic cannon only costs 6 yuan. Compared with other space weapons, it will be even more economical.

Half an hour later, Li Chuan left the front-line launch position. At this time, he was in the lookout for a data collection and command center, just like Li Qingzheng, looking at the front-line position with a telescope.

At the same time, the staff of the command center made a voice broadcast throughout the audience.

“Satellite guidance is in place!”

"Altitude 429, coordinates 81.60, 39.09, confirm completion!"

“Speed ​​Trajectory, 3055!”

"The goal has been confirmed and completed!"

"Target locked, completed"

“…3…2…1 Fire!”

The electromagnetic rail gun on the other side adjusted the angle to the sky, and only a powerful current was directed into the double rail, which gradually formed a bright and dazzling fluid electrolight on both sides. Then, after the energy output power and electromagnetic force reached the specified data, a projectile in the two groups of rails was instantly shot along the track.

A characteristic aluminum projectile about 86 cm long and weighing about 19 kilograms was fired from the superconducting electromagnetic track of the gun barrel. Its power source is not gunpowder or fuel, but electrical energy input from the reverse energy matrix.

Hundreds of staff and dozens of technicians from the command center were extremely nervously staring at the data information reported by the live feedback.

At this moment, the projectile broke out at an extremely high speed of more than Mach 12.2 and quickly flew out of the earth's atmosphere, but this speed was not enough to escape from gravity. Then, under the guidance of the satellite and the action of gravity, it returned to the atmosphere again.

At the same time, in the target base area 600 kilometers away, there are three military drones in the sky following up shooting and data collection from multiple angles. There is an outpost more than 70 kilometers away from the target base. Local people on standby are also ready to collect surface data at any time.

The projectile attacked at an extremely high speed of more than 4,000 meters per second, and was hit from the base to the target base. The two places were more than 600 kilometers apart. The projectile started to time when it was unloaded. In theory, it only took 145 seconds and it would reach the end of the target in less than three minutes to attack.

"Here! Come!" A data monitor of the outposter stared at the computer screen and shouted.

At this moment, when it was already dusk in the area, a light spot suddenly appeared above the target base, which was the projectile fired by the electromagnetic cannon. At this time, it was like a sky fire meteor, and its incredible speed made it carry enough combat kinetic energy to make the target disappear in an instant.

There is a tank battalion in the target base, and 28 real active tanks.

boom!

There was almost no sign, and there was no end ballistic of the projectile at all, because the speed was incredibly fast above 4,000 meters per second.

The electromagnetic shell hit the core accurately and accurately. The core area of ​​the target base produced a terrifying explosion with a loud bang. The live scenes shot by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft at three different altitudes were also transmitted back to the command center.

"Successfully hit the target accurately! Accurately hit the target!"

"Success! Success!"

The data monitor at the command center shouted excitedly, and in a flash, the entire base was filled with boiling and excited cheers.

Li Chuan and Li Qingzheng at the observation deck were relatively calm. The latter was relieved when they learned the result. He immediately looked at Li Chuan and said, "The electromagnetic rail gun is equipped with a naval battleship and can strike ultra-long range and precise strikes of 600 kilometers. This is considered a missile-level range, and shells can hit hundreds of kilometers... Maybe the battleships that have left the stage of history will come back again, and the aircraft carriers may no longer be so irreplaceable, or even withdraw from the stage of history."

Li Chuan, who is engaged in weapon development, shook his head slightly: "The return of battleships will not be possible. Other countries may, but we don't need them. High-mobility destroyers will definitely explode with bulky battleships. With the same power, they still cannot compete with the big destroyer and cannot come back."

Because of the support of the reverse energy matrix, all electricity and energy consumption of the entire warship, including the energy consumption of electromagnetic guns, are provided by the energy matrix, and the advantages of destroyers are very obvious.

After thinking about it, Li Chuan said again: "The status of an irreplaceable aircraft carrier and an absolute main force of a fleet will definitely decline. However, if it is said that it will not be possible to withdraw from the historical stage, electromagnetic guns still have many shortcomings. It is necessary for aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft to make up for their shortcomings. Are you all emphasizing joint combat now?"
