Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 866 Super Weapon
However, after a short period of disappointment, Guan Xuqing suddenly realized one thing: If it was just a simple sniper rifle, these people definitely had no reason to show off in front of them. Could it be that there is something magical about this sniper rifle? no?With this in mind, Guan Xuqing couldn't help asking Kang Guangren, "Well, does this sniper rifle perform well?"

"It's not bad," Xu Shichang took over the conversation, looking sincere, "Aside from the fact that it can shoot farther and has a larger effective range than all the sniper rifles in the world today, there is nothing special about it. "

Hit farther?How far can it hit?The effective range is slightly greater than existing sniper rifles?How big can it be?Guan Xuqing's blood began to flow faster, and his heart couldn't help but started to jump up. Although the other party hadn't said anything until now, Guan Xuqing was already sensitively aware that maybe they really sent him an astonishing surprise. information.He even held his breath, and asked Xu Shichang sideways, "What is the effective range of this sniper rifle?"

"My Majesty, it's not big. The effective range is 6 kilometers, and the maximum range is only 15 kilometers." Xu Shichang replied lightly, seeming to be understating.

"The effective range is 6 kilometers, and the maximum range is 15 kilometers?" Although Guan Xuqing had made some preparations before the other party spoke, he was still shocked by the number that came out of the other party's mouth at this moment.

The maximum range of 15 kilometers, this, this, this, should probably be the range that can only be achieved by large-caliber artillery, right?How can a small sniper rifle achieve this range?Guan Xuqing is not an emperor who only sits high in the temple. On the contrary, he pays great attention to all kinds of latest weapons produced by various countries in the world, especially the empire. He is familiar with the performance, range, ammunition load, etc. of various sniper rifles. He knows better what the maximum range of 15 kilometers means for a sniper rifle.

Among the firearms in active service, the longest range is the M12.7 Browning heavy machine gun with a caliber of 2mm used by the US military. The effective range is 1400 meters, and the maximum range is only 7400 meters. This is already one of the shooting distances of modern firearms. crown.Among the sniper rifles, not to mention the very few special cases of sniper shooting with a range of more than 2000 meters created by the best snipers, because that is almost irreproducible, basically represents the sniper's own technology, and cannot On behalf of the performance of the firearm itself, in terms of the maximum effective range created by the generally recognized sniper rifle, the longest range should probably be a large-caliber sniper rifle with a caliber of 20mm produced in Croatia. The controllable effective range reaches 1800 meters.

The controllable effective range of 1800 meters is a number that almost makes all snipers desperate, but this anti-material sniper rifle has easily reached it. The killing accuracy of living targets is also very commendable.

But what did Xu Shichang say?The sniper rifle designed by their military has an effective range of 6000 meters alone?How is this possible?

If it weren't for his trust in the various products of the Northwest Ordnance Bureau for many years, Guan Xuqing would have been reprimanded coldly.But then Xu Shichang's short sentence made Guan Xuqing feel at ease, "The sniper rifle we designed is an electromagnetic sniper rifle designed according to your previous concept."

"Electromagnetic sniper rifle electromagnetic" Xu Shichang's short sentence seems to have infinite magic power, Guan Xuqing's mind suddenly buzzed, and the words "electromagnetic sniper rifle" and "electromagnetic" repeatedly appeared .At this moment, apart from these two words, there was no room for other words in his mind.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Xu Shichang asked cautiously with a smile.

Guan Xuqing suddenly looked up and laughed loudly, holding Xu Shichang's arm tightly with both hands, and asked eagerly, "Bu Wu, where is the electromagnetic sniper rifle? Take me to have a look."

The emperor's abnormal behavior stunned everyone present. Everyone, look at me and I look at you. The launch of the electromagnetic gun is indeed of great significance, but they don't know why the always calm Nine-Five Supreme is listening. After receiving the news of the electromagnetic gun, it will be so uncharacteristically.

Of course, Guan Xuqing understood what the advent of the electromagnetic gun represented. If this was true, it would very likely bring about a sea-shaking change in the mode of modern warfare.

From the perspective of energy conversion, the traditional rifle converts the chemical energy of gunpowder combustion into the kinetic energy of bullet ejection, and there is an additional combustion process in the middle, which will cause a lot of waste of energy.The electromagnetic rifle is to convert electromagnetic energy into kinetic energy when the bullet is ejected. During the energy conversion process, the energy loss is very small, so the power of the firearm is naturally great.

In the firearms family, the sniper rifle is undoubtedly the most precious darling of the firearms family. As a high-precision shooting weapon, the sniper rifle can be said to have condensed a country's firearms design, industrial manufacturing level, gold metal smelting level, and high-precision processing and manufacturing technology. all the essence.

From this point of view, if the Northwest Ordnance Bureau has been able to manufacture high-precision electromagnetic sniper rifles, then the relatively simple ordinary electromagnetic rifles, electromagnetic machine guns, and even electromagnetic pistols are completely out of the question from a technical point of view. .Even from the perspective of practical application, the difficulty of manufacturing and processing high-precision electromagnetic sniper rifles is definitely much greater than that of large-caliber electromagnetic guns. If the Northwest Ordnance Bureau can manufacture electromagnetic sniper rifles, Then the electromagnetic gun should be no problem.

Electromagnetic gun, although this weapon is only at the theoretical stage so far. Up to now, there is no weapon in the world even if it is designed, but there is no doubt that if the electromagnetic gun If it can be officially equipped with the army, the maximum effective range can easily exceed 200 kilometers, and the flight speed can easily reach Mach 8. The electromagnetic gun will have a subversive impact on modern warfare.At that time, the range of ground attack weapons with a range of less than 100 kilometers, including missiles, will be greatly limited.

And from this came a series of changes in combat command, war concept, strategy and tactics, etc. Guan Xuqing knew very well that whoever can take the lead in this military change will be able to take the lead in the next military change. If it can be done, it can even shorten the time for the rise of the empire by at least 30 years.

30 years, how many 30 years can life have?
It's really strange to say that the world's affairs are so strange that electromagnetic weapons were born before laser weapons.Guan Xuqing quickly expressed his thoughts: "Since we have electromagnetic weapons, why not develop a laser sniper rifle with higher precision on this basis. Once this gun comes out, it can replace traditional anti-personnel warheads."

Kang Guangren took two steps forward and said: "Your Majesty, although the laser has been successfully developed, there are still many difficulties in applying it to military weapons. Although the accuracy of laser weapons is indeed very high, in the atmosphere, because of the fine dust in the air and other air floating and sinking The existence of laser weapons will greatly affect both accuracy and distance, and the killing effect of laser weapons on living targets is limited. Unless it hits a vital part, it will only pass through a small hole back and forth, which is not fatal. At the same time, the high temperature The laser will also perform high-temperature disinfection on the wounds of living targets. Laser weapons are also extremely susceptible to the impact of the combat environment. Under conditions of heavy fog, rain or high floating dust, the performance of laser weapons will be greatly limited. I'm afraid there is less than [-]% left. From these perspectives, the laser weapon is really not a qualified high-precision long-distance combat equipment for individual soldiers."

Guan Xuqing frowned and nodded, silent in thought.

At this time, Wang Shang said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, the imperial meal is ready, when will you use it?"

Only then did Guan Xuqing come back to his senses, and said with a smile: "You go to the imperial dining room first and ask the cooks to cook more. I'm so happy today, and I want to entertain these lovers."

Wang Shang responded and went excitedly.

Guan Xuqing said to Xu Shichang and others: "You need to see the gun, but it's not too late to go after eating first. Seeing that it's noon, you all stay to eat with me."

The monarchs and ministers came out from Beihai and meandered all the way back to the East Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. At this time, the imperial banquet was ready, and the monarchs and ministers took their seats in order, chatting while eating.

But now Guan Xuqing's thoughts are all about the electromagnetic sniper rifle. Facing the table full of delicacies and exquisite ingredients, it tastes like chewing wax in his mouth. He is just thinking, what kind of electromagnetic sniper rifle is this?How is the performance?what is the priceIf it is equipped for the whole army, how much deterrent effect will it have on those countries that have no good intentions towards China?How useful would it be if equipped to our snipers?
Too many questions lingered in Guan Xuqing's mind, so that he didn't care about the exquisite ingredients in front of him, and even ignored his ministers and scientists.

After finally finishing the meal, without waiting for Xu Shichang to say anything, Guan Xuqing ordered someone to remove the remnant seats, pulled Xu Shichang up and said, "Quick, take me over to have a look."
