Chapter 110 Weapons

The electromagnetic gun is an advanced kinetic energy killing weapon made using electromagnetic launch technology. Speaking of it, people will immediately think of the cool military equipment in science fiction movies and games. Whether it is an electromagnetic gun or an electromagnetic gun, it is full of technology.

In fact, it is not cool at all. As early as the beginning of the 20th century, some scientists invented the electromagnetic gun, so its theoretical research was even earlier, and its structure is also quite simple, mainly composed of energy and accelerator, and It consists of switches. Well, no more.

The reason why the electromagnetic gun is so promising is because of its strong electromagnetic propulsion, which can push the speed of the projectile to a quite terrifying speed.

At the same time, because the electromagnetic force is very uniform and easy to control, the stability of the projectile is very good.

Moreover, the electromagnetic gun does not produce flames, smoke, or shock waves when it is fired, so its concealment is also very good.

Then it can quickly adjust the size of the electromagnetic force according to the nature of the target and the distance of the firing range, thereby controlling the launch energy of the projectile.

Finally, it is more economical. Compared with conventional weapons, the cost per joule of energy generated by artillery propellants is much higher than that of electromagnetic guns. If compared with other space weapons in development, electromagnetic guns are more affordable.

Depending on the speed and range of the electromagnetic gun, people can use it for space-based anti-missile systems, for air defense systems, for anti-armor weapons, for modifying conventional artillery, for equipping artillery units, for equipping naval ships, etc. place.

Of course, the numerous benefits mentioned above are all benefits that can only arise if technology is sufficiently developed.

In fact, some countries in reality have also been studying electromagnetic guns. The speed, range, and power of electromagnetic guns are very gratifying, but various problems are also tiring.

Current electromagnetic guns are too large in size. Due to material and energy problems, if they are made smaller, they will lose their power. However, if the cannon is made so large, then its carrier can only be larger, so now It can only be used as a land-based fort or installed on a 10,000-ton warship.

And due to the huge amount of energy consumption, only the ground can supply it with a steady stream of energy. Even if it is installed on a 10,000-ton battleship, the energy carried by the battleship can barely sustain its consumption, because every time it is launched, it will The amount of energy expended is simply heartbreaking.

In addition, there are various problems, such as the barrel being easily burned or fused, and because the technology is not up to standard, gunpowder is required for secondary acceleration. The momentum is no more concealed than traditional artillery.

So those advantages were all produced when technology was sufficiently developed. Thinking about them now makes me feel tired.

It's just scientific research and whether it can be used in actual combat. Those are two different things. The current technological development has not yet reached the level of electromagnetic gun being used in actual combat, but the future technological development will not be certain. If you don't invest a lot of manpower, material resources, Without financial resources for research, technology in this area will never develop.

Just like in the 1980s, the two superpowers, the United States and the Bear, were in balance in terms of quantity and quality of strategic nuclear weapons. When they entered the dead end of an arms race, the United States launched the "Star Wars" plan, claiming to build space weapons. Using the system to deal with enemy countries is actually just a propaganda method used by the US government to bring down the bear.

But when Mao Xiong was dragged down and the United States was running fiscal deficits year after year, the United States eliminated some real deception plans. After so many years of hard competition, it still gained a lot of good things, including rocket technology, aerospace technology, and high-energy laser technology. , microelectronics technology, computer technology and other high technologies, after they were converted from military use to civilian use, they quickly promoted the economic development of the United States, and relying on the development of these high-tech groups also resulted in the United States' economic, military, science and technology, etc. leading and dominant position.

This shows the importance of technological research. Just because it is impossible now does not mean it will be impossible in the future. Without development, it will never be possible.

It is impossible to move the current electromagnetic gun to the car. The barrel is longer than Dong Chen's car, not to mention the huge gun body, which requires huge energy. Dong Chen's car is also equipped with No less.

But here comes the most exciting thing. Just because current technology can't do it, doesn't mean that future technology can't do it, and Dong Chen has such technology now.

In the radiation world, small electromagnetic rail guns can already be mass-produced on a small scale, not to mention large vehicle-mounted and ship-borne electromagnetic guns.

He had seen the technical information and design drawings of these electromagnetic guns in the airship of the Brotherhood of Steel. As a military organization with the priority goal of collecting military information, such technology was indispensable.

I have seen it in the college's database, and even more advanced information on small electromagnetic guns, laser guns, and laser guns. As a scientific research institution, the college is not very interested in researching weapons. It is all about studying the main topic. At that time, I would expand and study the use of weapons by the way, and then keep it as a technical reserve.

Even underground organizations such as railways have the production materials for electromagnetic guns, and electromagnetic guns are of course no longer a problem.

As for why it does not appear in the game, it can only be attributed to the game settings and game balance.

Anyway, Dong Chen has ready-made small vehicle-mounted electromagnetic gun technology, and it is an optimized technology, which improves the energy utilization rate to a very high level.

Moreover, the advantage of the electromagnetic gun is that it can produce as much power as you want. You only need to adjust the energy output. Even if it is reported by that unscrupulous netizen or is investigated, after intelligently locking the transmitting power, it will be fired. The bullets can't even penetrate a piece of paper, and you still think this is a controlled firearm?

Don't be ridiculous, do you think I don't know the legal provisions? Besides, this is scientific research, just academic research.

So in front of tens of thousands of netizens watching the live broadcast and hundreds of thousands of netizens watching the recording, Dong Chen built a vehicle-mounted electromagnetic gun that could penetrate one centimeter of foam board, and then installed it on the car.

Although netizens also know that it is impossible to build a small and powerful electromagnetic gun now, this does not prevent them from making noises.

"Pfft, let me vomit blood first, so I can only penetrate the foam board."

"I've taken off my pants, just let me see this!"

"Nothing wrong, that's what our War Bureau does. We don't have electromagnetic guns, we only have a new way of playing marbles."

"There is only such a powerful thing in China that cannot be controlled. The director is not stable."

"Give it back to me, Sister Pao. My Sister Pao can't be so watery!"

"………………"

After Dong Chen tried to test that the foldability of the electromagnetic gun was not affected and it could be stowed into the car perfectly and unfolded perfectly, he told netizens that it was offline.

Of course, the electromagnetic gun Dong Chen wanted was not a parallel import. After turning off the computer, Dong Chen gave an order for No. 1 to look after the house, then opened the arc door and walked in.

When Dong Chen came to Radiation World, this was still his academy base camp, but this time he came to an early robotics research center instead of the front hall. The high-precision 3D printer here was very easy to use. Therefore, the experiments here There is a car parked in the area that is almost exactly the same as in the real world.

It's almost the same here, that is, the appearance looks very similar, but the inner things are not the same at all. Don't forget, this is the end of the 23rd century, more than two hundred years higher than the technological tree of the earth.

Although its technology tree is crooked.
