Vol 6 Chapter 2769: Innovations brought about by electromagnetic propulsion

Speaking of this, Pang Zhengqing changed his tone and said: "There is another very important reason, that is, the army equipment is the most cost-effective.

The cost of this kind of electromagnetic gun will inevitably be more expensive than traditional firearms. Whether the Army can accept this is another matter. And in terms of performance, it is not a qualitative improvement over traditional firearms.

So for the army, it is obviously more cost-effective to spend limited funds on places where it is easier to improve combat effectiveness.

So if you want them to accept this electromagnetic gun, you still have a long way to go. "

On the other hand, Luo Kai shook his head and said: "Actually, it is not necessarily true. The upgrade of army equipment is very slow. Guns that have been used for decades are still usable, and their performance is not necessarily weak. It is incomparable with the high-tech equipment of the Air Force, so the Army is actually not very enthusiastic about changing equipment, especially this kind of firearms.

But this is overall, but in fact a small number of elite troops, especially the front-line troops with important responsibilities, are very urgent for the current weapons and equipment. I believe this electromagnetic gun will be welcomed by them. "

Hearing what the two said, Wu Hao replied with a smile: "As long as the performance of the weapons and equipment is excellent, we are not afraid of not having customers.

Electromagnetic weapons are the future development trend, which cannot be changed. Therefore, I think that with the excellent vision of military leaders, they will not fail to see it.

In addition, I have a lot of confidence in our weapons, and I believe they will perform well in various tasks in the future. "

Speaking of this, Wu Hao paused for a moment, and then continued: "I plan to formally recommend it to the military at the Military-Civilian Equipment Integration Exhibition in late autumn this year, and try to make it a model in the field of military-civilian technology integration.

In fact, in addition to this family of electromagnetic guns, we can develop a series of related weapons and equipment using our technical accumulation in electromagnetic propulsion technology. This electromagnetic gun is just an appetizer. "

oh?

Hearing Wu Hao's words, Luo Kai and Pang Zhengqing instantly became interested and looked at Wu Hao.

As for Wu Hao, he smiled and said nothing, and then led the two of them to sit down under the parasol next to him, pointed to the melons and fruits on the table and said, "These are all local watermelons, cantaloupes are also There are melons, very sweet, try them."

Hearing Wu Hao's words, Luo Kai and Pang Zhengqing were stunned for a moment, and then began to taste it. Although the sun is setting now, the temperature is still relatively high. After tossing in the dark, both of them are a little thirsty.

After quickly eating a few teeth of watermelon, Luo Kai asked Wu Hao while wiping his hands with a paper towel: "Tell us quickly, what electromagnetic weapon have you developed, it won't be an electromagnetic gun, right?"

Hearing Luo Kai's words, Pang Zhengqing on the side also stopped and looked at Wu Hao.

In this regard, Wu Hao finished eating the cantaloupe in his hands unhurriedly, and then said with a smile: "The electromagnetic gun is only in one direction, but we haven't cultivated it deeply in this respect.

The reason is also clear to you. This electromagnetic gun can only be used on some platforms, such as tanks and armored vehicles, and ships. Conventional large-caliber artillery is obviously not practical.

Regardless of whether it is a tank armored vehicle or a ship, the weapons on it need to be designed together with the platform, rather than being designed separately and directly installed on it. Adaptability and compatibility must be considered.

At present, we do not have the strength to design large-scale weapons and equipment, so it is only in the state of pre-research and has not been in-depth.

In the future, we may cooperate with the Land Research Institute and the Sea Research Institute to jointly develop weapons and equipment in this area.

In addition to this kind of large artillery, in fact, this kind of electromagnetic propulsion system can also be applied to some small and medium-sized weapons and equipment, including individual weapons and equipment.

For example, the most common grenade launcher, using the electromagnetic propulsion system, we can launch the grenade to a longer distance and shoot more accurately. Another example is mortars. Electromagnetic mortars have the characteristics of longer range, smokeless, silent, and concealment, which are very suitable for combat use.

We can even use this electromagnetic propulsion system to launch some missiles, drones, etc. We think it is still very successful in these fields.

More importantly, we believe that this technology can be applied to aircraft carriers. Although our aircraft carriers already have very advanced and mature electromagnetic propulsion and electromagnetic arresting systems, our system can greatly improve their performance.

Another example is the field of aerospace technology. Currently, we are studying the electromagnetic space booster launch system. Using the electromagnetic system to boost the rocket take-off will greatly save the booster fuel, and can also greatly increase the rocket's carrying capacity. "

"In addition to the military field, this technology can also be used in civilian applications. Although its cost is relatively high, but with its excellent performance, it can also be used in the civilian market.

However, due to technical confidentiality and other circumstances, it may take a long time for this technology to be put into the civilian market. "

Hearing Wu Hao's words, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Luo Kai and Pang Zhengqing both nodded involuntarily.

Indeed, such an advanced technology must be kept strictly confidential, especially when this technology is applied to the military field, it must be kept strictly confidential.

Therefore, it may be more difficult to apply this technology to the civilian field. Of course, those major projects are naturally not included.

Unexpectedly, such a technology can be applied to so many fields, which has brought about a revolution. Luo Kai sighed, and then asked Wu Hao and Pang Zhengqing: "Do you think this electromagnetic gun will replace the propellant in ammunition in the future and become the main source of propulsion power?"

Hearing Luo Kai's question, Pang Zhengqing thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "It will definitely shine, but it is basically impossible to completely replace it. It relies too much on electricity. Long-term storage of electricity It is a very difficult problem to solve, so it cannot replace traditional ammunition as the main source of propulsion power."

After Pang Zhengqing finished speaking, Wu Hao also nodded and said: "I agree with Director Pang's point of view, in fact, electromagnetic weapons are never intended to replace traditional weapons, but to complement and innovate.

The advantages of traditional weapons cannot be replaced by electromagnetic weapons. For example, the storage-resistant type mentioned by Director Pang just now is one of the shortcomings and shortcomings of electromagnetic weapons.

In addition, traditional weapons can use a variety of ammunition, while electromagnetic weapons can only use solid projectiles and inert ammunition due to their characteristics, and the choice of ammunition types is relatively limited.

Finally, in terms of cost, the cost of war is very high. The cost of this electromagnetic weapon is much higher than that of traditional weapons, so it cannot be used as a consumable on a large scale. In this respect, it cannot compare with traditional weapons and equipment. "
