Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 78 The Terrible Railgun

This time, there was finally a strong shaking from the monitoring screen, which was much stronger than the first shelling.

Even their bunkers felt obvious vibrations.

After the dust drifts away.

grunt!Du Weiguo and the others looked at the surveillance screen, staring at the huge hole in the screen like a chicken.

No, it can't be called a huge pit anymore, it should be said to be a huge gap, and a large piece of the west side of the hill that was used as the target site was cut off.

Even the two surveillance cameras on the west side were completely blacked out. If the impact crater produced by the first shelling was equivalent to the size of a tennis ball, then the impact crater produced this time was equivalent to the size of a basketball.

Everyone gasped involuntarily.

Although the electromagnetic guns of Dongtang and Mili are at the forefront of the world, the electromagnetic gun of Yinhe Technology does not look too big, and it is estimated that it can be installed on armored vehicles.

The electromagnetic gun developed by Dongtang and Milijia is not only very bulky, but also has the disadvantages of electromagnetic heating and short life of components.

Although the Internet has been blowing about how awesome electromagnetic guns are equipped on such and such research institutes or battleships, whoever uses this thing knows.

"How far can this thing, Haojie, hit?" Du Weiguo was excited as he grabbed Huang Haojie's shoulder.

Hehe, can you not use so much force? Huang Haojie complained in his heart.

"Don't worry, isn't this a test?"

"Then give it a try and see how far you can hit it."

"Okay, try it right away, but can you let me go?" Huang Haojie said with black lines all over his head.

When Du Weiguo heard this, he put his hand down in embarrassment.

"Cheng'an! Maximum power, tungsten steel warhead, 100 km target." Huang Haojie ordered concisely.

"Yes!" Fan Chengan's voice came from the intercom immediately.

The base personnel on the side quickly switched the monitoring screen to a shooting range of [-] kilometers.

"Why didn't your radar respond just now?" Liu Zhengjun asked the base personnel beside him.

The radar controller at the base smiled wryly: "Sir, we could barely catch the first shot, but the radar just now couldn't respond to it either!"

Dongtang is equipped with many kinds of radars, etc., and the more advanced one is the Type II Ground Gun Position Detection and Calibration Radar.

The type II ground artillery position detection and calibration radar adopts Dongtang's latest phased array radar technology. The performance of this radar has completely surpassed the anti-artillery positioning radar used by the Milijia army, and the detection range is up to 60 kilometers.

Although the radar responds at the speed of light in theory, in fact, considering the trajectory calculation of the computer, the response speed is considered qualified within 10 seconds.

The response speed of the type 3 ground gun position detection radar is already very fast, reaching 12 seconds, and then the counter rocket launcher takes about [-] seconds.

The problem is that the muzzle velocity of the most powerful electromagnetic gun just now reached almost 7200 meters per second.

Hit the target in less than 7 seconds.

In the following bombardment, the Type [-] ground gun position detection and calibration radar was also helpless.

Because the electromagnetic gun is not only fast, but also very far away, they only captured the trajectory of the tungsten steel warhead through the networking of multiple radars.

As time passed by every minute.

Du Weiguo became more and more excited, it was amazing, this electromagnetic gun was amazing.

As an electromagnetic gun expert, Dr. Ma knows the power and difficulty of this thing.

The electromagnetic gun has now hit the shell to a position of 450 kilometers.

Although the same power has been weakened, a large pit with a diameter of nearly 450 meters is still formed in the 30-kilometer shooting range. In addition, the accuracy is a bit low, but this can be adjusted.

After all, this electromagnetic gun can be seen as a prototype at a glance, and many guidance methods have not been used. It is very normal that the accuracy is not high.

"Hero, can this electromagnetic gun be made bigger? I mean it can be used on warships or large land bases." Du Weiguo asked hurriedly.

Huang Haojie nodded.

"Okay, size is not an issue."

"Great, this electromagnetic gun must be equipped." Du Weiguo clapped his hands excitedly.

After all, even this medium-sized electromagnetic gun can hit 450 kilometers, and the large one can definitely hit thousands of kilometers.

Thinking about it makes me very excited. What is the concept of thousands of kilometers? Cannonballs can be directly fired from Shanghai to the Nine Islands of the Sun Country, covering the entire Rope Islands.

The enemy can't even intercept it. The speed of 7200 meters per second is equivalent to Mach 21, which is 21 times the speed of sound.

Just like the radar at this test base, so what if you catch the signal?
It only takes about 1000 seconds for the shell of the electromagnetic gun to run 138 kilometers. It is estimated that the radar computer has completed the calculation and the shell has already flown over.

This is also the reason why ballistic missiles are almost uninterceptable, because the speed of ballistic missiles will reach Mach 20 or above at the end, unless the ballistic missiles are intercepted when they are just launched, otherwise once they reach the middle and rear ends, they cannot be stopped at all.

And the electromagnetic gun designed by Yinhe Technology can increase the speed and power to this level in the medium size. If it is a large one, I really can't imagine how terrifying its power is.

With one shot and a 30-meter crater, even the mother of the aircraft could not block the blow.

Huang Haojie stayed at the Gobi Desert test base for military rabbits for four full days.

Two electromagnetic guns and ten electromagnetic guns were tested by Du Weiguo and others.

The electromagnetic gun that the military is most interested in has tested hundreds of shells and almost destroyed the entire shooting range.

They finally had the data they wanted to know.

Range: 764 km (high temperature resistant tungsten steel), 471 km (high temperature resistant silicon steel), 312 km (high temperature resistant aluminum alloy)...

威力：50公里破坏直径92米，100公里破坏直径81米……450公里破坏直径27米……764公里破坏直径5米。

初速：100%功率7.2公里每秒，90%功率6.5公里每秒，80%功率5.7公里每秒，70%功率5公里每秒……

In the base canteen.

"Brother Huang, the barrel of your electromagnetic gun is covered with a layer of magnetic crystals!" Dr. Ma already knew the existence of magnetic crystals from Huang Haojie.

Huang Haojie nodded with a smile: "Dr. Ma's eyes are like torches."

"What are you staring at like torches? Don't praise me, kid. After all, the barrel of your electromagnetic gun has never been burned or melted. As soon as I think about it, I know there must be a way." Dr. Ma shook his head and cursed with a smile.

As Dr. Ma said, the magnetic crystal in the gun barrel forms a strong repulsive field, so that the projectile and the gun barrel do not have substantial contact.

In this way, the projectile does not come into frictional contact with the barrel, causing the barrel to be burned and severely heated.

This design not only improves the service life of the barrel, but also reduces the material requirements for the barrel. In addition, it also increases the initial launch velocity and projectile launch speed (1-80 rounds per minute for the prototype machine).

"Hero, it's just right that you are here." Du Weiguo's voice came before Du Weiguo came.

"Deputy Commander Du, what good news?" Huang Haojie said with a smile.

"The matter about the electromagnetic gun has already been approved by the superior." Du Weiguo walked over and patted Huang Haojie on the shoulder vigorously.

Huang Haojie was speechless to this old man, he patted his shoulder so vigorously all day, he was afraid that if he did it a few more times, he would suffer internal injuries.

"So fast? How many orders?"

"Purchase 1000 electromagnetic guns, and land-based 50 medium-sized electromagnetic guns and 10 large electromagnetic guns. The sea-based side will purchase 50 medium-sized electromagnetic guns and 10 large electromagnetic guns." Du Weiguo handed a contract to Huang Haojie.

"So little?" Huang Haojie asked.

Du Weiguo said unhappily, "Just be content with it! Do you think our money came from the strong wind? And you are too casual about the shape of the electromagnetic gun and other accessories!"

"Isn't this a prototype? It will definitely be very handsome in mass production!" Huang Haojie spread his hands.

Du Weiguo knew Huang Haojie would say this.

"I contacted the president of North District Industry for you. This is his phone number. You can contact them directly. They have a lot of supporting facilities."

"Thank you." Huang Haojie didn't expect that the old man would really help him a lot.

The industry in the North District is the Eastern Tang Military Industry Group, one of the twelve state-run military industries in the Eastern Tang Kingdom.

The electromagnetic gun of Yinhe Technology is very good, but the problem is that the supporting equipment is not enough.

Things like guidance, equipment interface, layout, radar, projectile design, etc. are either very crude or not at all.

It is of course very good to be able to cooperate with the industry in the North District, and Huang Haojie doesn't want to do a lot of things to do.

It will be enough to hand over the guidance, radar and the like to North District Industry, and Yinhe Technology will be responsible for perfecting the electromagnetic gun.
