Chapter 629 Super Cavitation
Baili Xiu gritted his teeth and clicked confirmation in his mind. Then as a familiar light of equipment upgrade flashed, Baili Xiu immediately couldn't wait to check out Xingyun, who had been upgraded to the king level.

Equipment name: Starfall

Equipment level: King

Equipment characteristics: indestructible, never falling, super cavitating.

Equipment evaluation: Although it looks like a sharp knife, its most suitable destination may be as a flying knife. At least you no longer have to worry about the friction of air or water.

When Bailixiu once again held the meteor carving knife, which had become much larger, he already understood the function of its last super cavitation bubble. At the same time, he was more certain that this thing was used as a shell fired by an electromagnetic gun. It is the most suitable.

That's right, the super cavitation feature of the upgraded Star Meteor Carving Knife is actually similar to the principle of the super cavitation torpedo from Bailixiu's previous life.

Supercavitation is a physical phenomenon.When the speed of an object in water exceeds one hundred knots, which is 180 kilometers per hour, strange water vapor bubbles will form in the rear, resulting in a "supercavitation" fluid-mechanical effect.

The supercavitating torpedo is a supercavitating weapon that was successfully developed by the former Soviet Navy.The torpedo head is equipped with a cavitation generator.The cavitation generator generates local bubbles, and then the breather pipe injects gas into the local bubbles to expand them into a supercavitating torpedo.

Initially, underwater weapons or underwater combat platforms, such as torpedoes, submarines, etc., all encountered the "cavitation" problem, and all had negative effects.

Supercavitation is a peculiar physical phenomenon.As torpedoes and other underwater objects move faster in the water, the water pressure they bear will decrease. Once the water pressure decreases to a certain level, the water in contact with the underwater objects will vaporize and form cavitation. .These cavitations will not only change the flow pattern of water, but also reduce the propulsion efficiency of propellers or waterjet propellers, and may explode and cause strong impacts, greatly shortening the service life of underwater objects.But what is strange is that as the speed further increases, when the speed of a sailing object in the water exceeds 50 meters/second, a "supercavitation" phenomenon will appear on the surface of the sailing object, that is, water vapor bubbles will form behind it.

The density of seawater is about [-] times that of air, so the resistance of seawater is also [-] times greater than the resistance of air. However, the resistance of objects traveling in supercavitation is only [-] times that of water.

After all, an object sneaking in a bubble is basically the same as sneaking in the air, so the resistance it encounters is naturally much smaller.

If certain technical means are used to make the "bubble" wrap the entire sailing object to form a "gas coat", the object can always sail inside the supercavitation created by itself, thereby minimizing the viscous resistance of water. , achieving high-speed navigation.In addition, the supercavitation phenomenon not only greatly reduces the resistance of water, but also does not cause impact on the surface of underwater objects due to bubble explosion.

Therefore, based on the characteristics of supercavitation, the scientific and technological personnel of the Big Bear Country developed the "Storm" torpedo.This is a submersible high-speed torpedo. The "Storm" torpedo has a body length of 530 meters, a diameter of 250 millimeters, a weight of 400 kilograms, a warhead charge of [-] kilograms, a speed of [-] knots, a range of [-] meters, and a maximum depth of [-] meters.The torpedo body gradually becomes thicker from the head to the tail. The head is the warhead, the tail is the engine, and the center of the tail is the rocket engine nozzle, surrounded by eight small starting rockets.

A cavitation generator is installed on the head of the "Storm" torpedo. It is in the shape of a round or oval flat disk and tilts forward to form an "angle of attack" to generate lift to support the front of the torpedo.Immediately behind the cavitation generator are several annular snorkels, which inject rocket exhaust into the cavitation bubble to expand it.After the torpedo is launched from the launch tube on the submarine, eight starter rockets work to accelerate the torpedo to supercavitation speed.

During navigation, the cavitation generator first generates local bubbles, and then the breather tube injects gas into the local bubbles to expand them into supercavitation.The main rocket motor then works, causing the torpedo to travel at high speed through the water. When the "Storm" torpedo moves in the water, the air is discharged from the head and is covered with bubbles on the surface of the torpedo body, forming a "supercavitation".Therefore, its water resistance is very small and its speed is very high, much higher than ordinary torpedoes.A guidance wire is trailed at the tail of the torpedo to control the movement of the torpedo and detonate the warhead.

The advent of Big Bear's "Storm" supercavitating torpedo represents a revolutionary leap in underwater combat weapons and is likely to change the way naval warfare is fought in the future.With the continuous improvement and development of supercavitation technology, not only will the speed of underwater weapons change dramatically, it may also be applied to underwater or surface vehicles, which will greatly increase the underwater or surface speed of the aircraft. At that time, it may be possible for underwater vehicles to exceed the speed of supersonic aircraft in the air.This shows that supercavitation technology has broad prospects and important military value.

In Bailixiu's world, after the Big Bear Country launched their supercavitating torpedoes, various countries naturally followed them one after another. The reason why they were so sought after was mainly because the supercavitating torpedoes with a speed of [-] knots were inferior to other ordinary torpedoes. The speed is already very fast.

Because before the emergence of supercavitating torpedoes, the speed of ordinary torpedoes was only forty or fifty knots.

Therefore, this means that at the same distance, the supercavitating torpedo only takes one-fifth of the time and one-quarter of the time to hit the target, which naturally greatly reduces the ship's avoidance time. .

Of course, Bailixiu's meteorite super cavitation will form a layer of cavitation on its surface after it is launched. This naturally means that it will not hit the fluid like other ordinary high-speed objects. It means that the speed is greatly reduced after hitting the water.

Because of the protection of supercavitation, there is no need to worry about the resistance of water, and isn't this a natural and excellent weapon to deal with demons and celestial phenomena!
You must know that the thick fat layer under the skin of Demon Seed Celestial Elephant is also fluid!With this function, you no longer have to worry about the thick fat layer losing the kinetic energy of the electromagnetic gun firing kinetic energy projectiles.

That's right, after Bailixiu saw the characteristics of the super air cannon, he already had the idea to use the method he used to deal with the demon species Mountain Turtle, which was to use the star meteor as the kinetic energy shell of the star-piercing electromagnetic gun to defeat the demon. Kind of celestial phenomena.

After already having a plan to deal with the demon species Celestial Phenomenon, Bailixiu immediately chose to withdraw from the super play space. What Bailixiu did not expect was that after she exited the super play space, she saw that Zhong Wuyan had already He underwent a major transformation and turned directly into a fifty-meter-tall King Kong giant ape.

It seems that Zhong Wuyan is planning to use this King Kong Giant Ape to compete with this demon species, Celestial Phantasm.
