У меня есть особняк в постапокалиптическом мире - Глава 1114
Chapter 1118 “Satellite City”
The more than 20 meters long barrel, the more Jiangyin looked more like it.
Although the actual value of this pure kinetic weapon in the space war of tens of thousands of kilometers is still inconclusive, but the giant ship cannon is the romance of men! The scenes of the tens of thousands of guns are just a sense of thought.
Now that the cannon is there, will the giant ship be far behind?
“Can you test it?” Jiang Chen looked at Ling Tao.
“Of course! I will show you the power now.” Ling Tao took off the intercom on the shoulder and told the engineers of the institute a few words, and soon the gun of more than 20 meters was on the arm. Suspended, slowly separated from the ground by half a meter.
Ling Tao raised his hand and extended his finger on the touchpad to count the number. The warehouse door that immediately stored the electromagnetic turret was closed and locked. The nozzle mounted on the top of the ceiling began to throw dry ice into the warehouse inside the protective wall. At the same time, more than a dozen large vacuum pumps in the laboratory began to work “squatting”.
With the enchanting smoke screen, the warehouse where the turret was located was quickly vacuumed.
A few centimeters thick “steel plate”, under the movement of the mechanical cantilever, was slowly placed in the card slot 500 meters in front of the electromagnetic turret, and stood upright into a steel wall. However, this is not finished. When the steel plates are stacked to a thickness of more than five meters, a concrete wall of more than ten meters thick is raised behind the steel plates.
The size of the entire vacuum laboratory is limited, and the maximum test can only be 500 meters. However, for weapons used in space, there is not much difference between 500 meters and five kilometers. After all, there is no air resistance in the universe, and there is no need to consider the kinetic energy attenuation.
The barrel of the gun was pointed to the five-meter-thick “steel plate”. The capacitor inside the turret began to charge, and the barrel mouth could even faintly see the leaking blue arc.
When everything was ready, Ling Tao smiled at Jiang Chen and made a gesture of respect to the touchpad with respect and respect.
“Press the red launch button.”
According to Ling Tao’s suggestion, Jiang Chen took the first two steps and looked at the turret inside the wall and pressed the red button.
Предупреждения нет.
The blue arc suddenly flashed, and the glaring white light flashed away. The 50-kilogram mass bomb hit the steel plate at the same time, accompanied by the tremor of the earth and the roar from the soles of the feet.
«...»
Simple words can no longer describe the shock of Jiang Chen’s heart.
Almost as soon as he had just returned, a rough, thigh-like fracture was engraved on the steel plate, and the steel wall made up of dozens of steel plates had been smashed into a “v” on the side. type.
As for the concrete behind the steel, it was shattered by half…
Because I have seen it many times, Ling Tao did not react much.
“The barrel can fire up to 50 kilograms of mass bombs. In theory, the rate of fire can reach nine rounds in one minute. Do you still need to test the next shot?”
“No, I have seen the power.” Jiang Chen shook his head.
"ОК"
Nodded, Ling Tao stepped forward on the touchpad a few times. When the overflow of the blast tower high-energy capacitor was slowly released, he immediately turned off the power of the turret. The blue arc was also dimmed and eventually disappeared.
After a long time, Jiang Chen ended the silence and said with emotion: “…I am thinking now, if you put this thing on the Pacific Ocean, there is another warship that can resist it.”
“No warship can win this turret,” Ling Tao thought that his boss really had this plan, so he quickly explained to him, “The electromagnetic gun on the guardian level is now strong enough, without any kind of warship.” Armor can eat the next shot and it’s safe and sound.”
“I know,” Jiang Chen waved his hand. “I just said, how can I really take a cannon to fight mosquitoes?”
Looking at the turret, Jiang Chen paused for a while and continued to ask, “How much is the cost of such a turret?”
“Ignore the cost of research and development, this prototype will cost about S$1 billion.”
1 billion Singapore dollars!
Hearing this figure, even Jiang Chen, who is the major shareholder of the new Fed, could not help but swear.
Even if large-scale production can cut costs by half, it is also S$500 million. If you want to install hundreds of electromagnetic guns on the battleship, this must not be used to bankrupt the Earth Defense Alliance?
Seeing the face on Jiang Chen’s face is not very good-looking, Ling Tao who faintly guessed something, quickly explained.
“The reason why it is so expensive is mainly because of the manufacturing process. Many parts cannot be produced by the current processing technology. Only industrial-grade 3D printers can be used. If the production technology is upgraded, this turret will certainly not be so expensive. ”
Hearing this sentence, Jiang Chen finally got better.
In a few days, the Earth Defense Alliance Committee will begin again, and the next meeting will discuss which ship type should be used for the first million-ton Star Warship.
In fact, no kind of ship is the kind of ship. The conventional weapon of electromagnetic gun is indispensable, so no matter what the final result is, the orders of future military workers can’t run away. After all, the technological advantages of the future group of people on electromagnetic guns are obvious to the whole world.
It’s just that the cost of nearly one billion is really too expensive.
Jiang Chen asked himself that if he changed himself to be a member of the committee, he would not easily loosen his budget.
After all, the Earth Defense Alliance is not opened by his own family. The member states are paying according to the percentage of gdp and the weight of the population. Just one year, Huaguo has taken out three trillion yuan! How can this money make it easy for companies in other countries to earn?
As an executive, he has decision-making power, but the committee also has the right to veto, voting rights and budget review.
At the thought of this, Jiang Chen could not help but get up.
How do you fool those committee members?
It seems that it is really not easy to flick…
......
As August gets closer and closer, the expectations of the 19th Asia-Pacific joint military exercise are gradually warming up. However, the reaction of the star-ring trade is quite calm, as if the carrier battle group parked at the door was not at all minded.
Above the height of 36,000 kilometers, the shuttle-type aircraft travels between the steel skeletons of several kilometers long, such as a silver needle with a wire lead, which weaves the future of earth civilization in the screaming electric spark.
There is the second shipyard of the Star Ring, and the current progress of the project is only 15%.
The new shipyard, which covers an area of 100 acres and costs nearly 20 billion Singapore dollars, is like a satellite city suspended on the side of the city, connected by a graphene orbit and space elevator.
Six spindles of about three kilometers in length are suspended in parallel in a synchronous orbit, connected by a titanium alloy skeleton, just like a long and narrow hexagonal prism, which outlines the entire shipyard.
Nearly a thousand engineering robots that have participated in the construction of space elevators, with the help of nerve access technology, are remotely controlled by human engineers to weld a piece of alloy steel plate to the skeleton. The shuttle-type aircraft travels through the site, sending materials and construction equipment to the hands of engineering robots.
In the future, the Star Wars trade and the Earth Defense Alliance all warships of more than 500,000 tons will be produced by this new shipyard.
Regarding the first order of the shipyard, the Earth Defense Alliance has been open for more than a dozen meetings, but it has not been discussed. Some people have proposed to develop missile ships, and some have proposed to give priority to the development of aircraft carriers and unmanned aircraft carriers…
The last thing to end the debate is a representative of China, Lu Hao.
At the 17th meeting, his “functional ship theory” was approved by most members.
“It is ridiculous to use the 19th century artillery to fight the battleships of the 20th century. However, after the modification of the 20th century artillery system, the 19th century warships can still exert the heat on the battlefield. Controversy with whether to arm our ships with bows or spears. It is better to build the ship first and then consider what weapons to put on it.”
The weapon that will be selected for use will be considered for later consideration, and the bare ship with the modified space will be produced first. Even with the innovation of shipbuilding technology, this bare ship was finally eliminated, and it can be converted into a construction ship at a lower cost, and the waste heat in the infrastructure field.
Lu Hao’s proposal also gave Jiang Chen a sigh of relief.
At least for now, he doesn’t have to worry about how to convince the committee to buy a billion-dollar cannon.
