Monster Factory

Since Ye Qing feels this repeated torpedo, some are like magic metal balls floating around the electromagnetic king.

Why don't you magic it a little bit more technologically?

Made an indeterminate torpedo entirely of indeterminate metal.

Perhaps a torpedo would describe it as less fitting, and an indeterminate metal could change its morphology at will.

Torpedoes that rely on chemical reactive energy to kill ships are disposable weapons of war. When it sounds loud, it turns into pieces.

Ye Qing hopes to possess a high-tech weapon that can repeat combat, and it should be kept as quiet as possible during the killing process.

So amorphous metals are naturally the best choice, and names can be changed when they are finally shaped.

It can also be transformed into a fish that uses its fins to swing, or squid to act as a power, so that it is completely silent.

The flagfish in the ocean can travel at nearly sixty knots, with an elongated bone-shaped sharp spike angle at the front of its mouth.

It can easily pierce the shell of a wooden fishing boat while swimming fast in the sea.

Using an amorphous metal, it will only go faster.

“So… what is its weapon system?” The crystals cover your eyes, "Boss, you're really not going to turn an indeterminate metal into a blade and cut the hull over and over again. ”

“While amorphous metals can turn a blade into a nanoscale thickness, the shell armor thickness of a warship is between twenty and thirty millimeters, with composite armor protection at key locations. Cutting with amorphous metal will take hours, I'm afraid. ”

“Even with a bunch of blind people on board, they can feel it with their voices. ”

“Of course I know that.” Ye Qing rubbed his forehead, the amorphous metal is amazing, but it is certainly unrealistic to expect tens of kilograms of it to sink a warship moving thousands of tons.

So there is also a need to install a weapon on an indeterminate torpedo.

Such weapons, if silent, can also inflict tremendous damage on warships.

The electromagnetic generator was first abandoned and falls within the scope of the soft kill.

“Removing the chemical explosion leaves the energy weapon.” Ye Qing clapped his hands and inspired the crystals and masters: “We brainstormed to design a subversive weapon for an indeterminate torpedo. ”

"It doesn't take much time to think about it," said the master of sophistication. "I've seen the destroyer that we dragged back in, and its enclosure is made of high-strength, non-magnetic steel. ”

“Theoretically, this steel can be rapidly cut using plasma cutting techniques common in industrial processes. ”

“The biggest problem is still stuck in the energy sector. ”

The principles of plasma cutting technology are uncomplicated, using currents to generate high-temperature plasma arcs that can quickly melt various alloy metals in the workspace up to thousands of degrees. Ye Qing had used this technology to cut high-intensity explosion-proof doors for a club as early as the early days of entrepreneurship.

So theoretically, even the simplest plasma technology can cut the shell of a warship.

But the energy is constant, with only dozens of kilograms of indeterminate torpedoes, and even carrying an energy module that has not yet been developed, it is not possible to cut even a thousand tons of warship into a sink.

Because the sinking of the vessel is taking place slowly, the crew will be able to detect it and take prompt remedial action as soon as the hull enters the water.

“Let me start by calculating the energy required to cut a square meter of high strength un-magnetic steel using plasma cutting technology.” The crystal pulled out the holographic band and used the formula calculation program that came with it to calculate what.

After a few minutes, the crystal directs the calculation to the electronic screen.

The frigate had a high strength non-magnetic steel housing thickness of 30 mm, and if an ultra-high frequency plasma technology with an output power of 9600W was used to cut a gap of one square metre, it would theoretically consume 0.5 kWh of electricity.

Based on the energy storage density of the energy modules, 300 grams of energy modules are required in order to consume energy in one cut.

Oscillating torpedoes assume that they carry ten kilograms of energy modules as a power source and, after removing the necessary energy consumption to maintain the deformation of the oscillating metal, are sufficient only for ultra-high-frequency plasma cutters to cut a dozen square metres of armor from the warship's enclosure.

“Seems to work, doesn't seem to work. ”

This energy consumption is unacceptable to Ye Qing. “Theoretically, an indeterminate torpedo can only cut a small piece of armor, allowing itself to enter and destroy important facilities inside the warship, such as ammunition depots or fuel depots, with a good chance of success. ”

“But what I want is an innovative energy weapon. ”

“To get on the plasma cutter, we have to have a mini-reactor. ”

The crystal rolled its eyes, "Boss, we're not Stark Industries, we can't build a small arc reactor. ”

“We have to face the reality that the giant animal industry is currently able to produce the most energy-intensive batteries, only energy modules. ”

“No ~ the energy module has not been made yet. ”

Arc Reactor...

If there was an ark reactor like that in the movies, all the difficulties would be solved. Not to mention the plasma cutting knife, whatever high-energy laser, the oscillator can make it.

The Arc Reactor technology, don't think about it, is a violation of the principle of energy conservation.

The most realistic technology is only to burn water, only to miniaturize nuclear reactors.

The miniaturized reactor technology, the giant animal industry, is at the forefront of the world and can theoretically reduce the reactor to a truck size.

But it's still too big to be built on a torpedo that weighs at least a few hundred tons.

Without nuclear reactors, there is not enough energy to supply weapons systems…

Reactor…

Ye Qing carefully considered the various possibilities for miniaturization of the nuclear reactor.

After thinking about it for half a day, Ye Qing certainly did not come up with any results.

But the nuclear reactor principle suddenly inspired Ye Qing.

“Crystal, you just consumed the ultra-high frequency plasma cutting knife in the formula. What is the arc working temperature? ”

The crystal did not understand why Ye Qing asked, but it immediately replied, “The arc temperature is 8000 degrees, of course this temperature is only inside the arc. ”

Ye Qing continued, "What is the temperature limit of the reactor core of Seat Whale? ”

“Extreme temperature? ”

Crystal Heart says this thing should be clear to the boss, “Boss, if you're referring to removing a loop of coolant and allowing the core to warm up freely without cooling measures. The reactor core temperature will gradually rise to a limit of more than 3,500 degrees. ”

“In fact, when the core rises to 3,000 degrees, the zirconium alloy fuel rods we use to seal nuclear fuel are slowly melted at high temperatures, and then we lose control of the core completely. ”

“Boss, the example of the uncontrolled core you humans have performed many times, how exactly to explode, don't need me to explain. ”

Ye Qing laughed and laughed proudly. It made the side crystal feel a little scared.

“Crystal, you're right, we can't build an Arc Reactor. ”

“But we can use the idea of a fuel rod to create a new weapon. ”

The crystal blinked, "What... what weapon? ”

“Uh… can be called a fission knife. ”

“Or you could call it a fission knife. ”
