Super military empire

(I wish you all a happy new year! Happy family, everything will come to me, and everything will come to you.)

"We actually use the principle of the Tesla coil. As long as the emitted energy beam becomes controllable, there is no problem. In terms of materials, we must also speed up the research progress. We don't need it in a short time. , But we can’t speed up the progress because it’s not urgently needed?” Liu Yijiu felt that if the principle of the Tesla coil is integrated with the principle of the current laser cannon, the problems they are currently encountering can be solved.

In terms of materials, this is an important factor restricting the development of all technologies.

The emergence of a new material in the earth’s internal materials will lead to rapid development of science and technology. The emergence of graphene has solved many technologies in China, especially the rapid development of the electronics industry, which is inseparable from this. .

Without crystalline silicon, directly use graphene and molybdenum-based chips with better performance. Of course, this is for military use.

For civilian use, the cost is too high, not to mention, it is easy to cause technical leakage.

From the very beginning, the Ninth Institute has made great efforts in materials. Not only has it become the largest unit in materials research in the base, it is also cooperating with domestic materials research institutes and top universities.

Even so, China cannot keep up with technological developments in terms of materials.

Liu Yijiu of this era has learned materials. The problem is that he didn't learn too much before, did he?He knew the production methods for many materials, but he couldn't produce them.

At that time, there was the Tiangong International Space Station in China, and this space station has been developed since the 1920s and has been under construction for almost half a century. It is a huge space station capable of small-scale smelting of some special materials.

Even if the materials made from space are completely consistent with the chemical composition on the earth, the quality is not only an order of magnitude, it is simply incomparable.

The titanium alloy most needed by the aviation industry and the high-temperature alloy most needed by aeroengines, even special aluminum alloys, have performance that is unmatched under the production of earth conditions.

It is not realistic to build the space station into a smelting base, but at that time the lunar base also began construction.

You can't wait until you have the ability to conduct space production before continuing research, right?

"We have been researching non-stop, and now we can only find other breakthrough methods." Wang Qi understood what Liu Yijiu meant.

The oldest group of researchers is already old, and the newly-trained group has not been able to undertake these projects in less than ten years from the earliest to the present.

"Communicate more with people on other projects." Liu Yijiu also had no choice.

While waiting for the arrival of Yu Ping's team, Liu Yijiu also devoted his energy to the research of laser weapons.

There are no alternatives to many materials, but the principle of the laser cannon is researched according to the direction he proposed. Even if he can't get it out quickly and put forward some suggestions, it can still give researchers who can't find the direction have a new direction.

Technological breakthroughs require constant experimentation.

Liu Yijiu also put a lot of energy into electromagnetic railguns.

The principle of this thing is different from the laser cannon, but it is not much simpler than the laser cannon.

The electromagnetic railgun, as the name suggests, uses the magnetic field generated by electric energy to continuously accelerate the shells passing through the magnetic field, so that the shells can obtain a much higher initial velocity than the instantaneous kinetic energy generated when the conventional artillery uses the propellant to explode.

This is a kind of kinetic energy killing weapon, not relying on the kinetic energy generated when the shell explodes to bounce the shrapnel back to kill.

"Electromagnetic railguns and laser weapons are indispensable. Although it seems that these two weapons are still very early in practical use, we cannot slow down the research. Laser weapons use high-density energy to burn and damage the enemy. The weaponry and equipment of the other party’s weapon system is invalid. Our electromagnetic railgun uses kinetic energy..." When Liu Yijiu convened the two projects for discussion, Wang Qi and others asked whether to give up the railgun first. Liu Yijiu’s answer was such an answer to Liu Yijiu’s research, or to slow down the progress, and transfer the power to the laser cannon research.

"This is like the game played by many young people in our base. Laser is an energy weapon, which belongs to spell damage. When the opponent uses energy to neutralize the damage, or has external armor that can defend against energy weapons, how do we solve it? , We need to use kinetic energy to kill and cause physical damage railguns. Unless our enemy not only has very powerful physical defense, but also energy defense..."

Theoretical research must go ahead.

Both parties are studying separately, and they have insufficient understanding of the future use of these weapons.

Liu Yijiu is very clear about this situation, just as he understands that some materials cannot be produced. He knows the future development trend, and even countries are using it on a large scale, and he can't tell everyone now. Work hard, the future battlefield will have to rely on these weapons.

Conventional ammunition and even extremely expensive missiles will be eliminated.

Standing at the height of history is sometimes a very painful thing.

"Our current research in this area does not have enough theoretical support. At the same time, if we want to achieve a longer range, reaching thousands of kilometers, according to the current situation, according to the model we built using supercomputers, the required energy and equipment, It is even larger than our warship..." Ma Mingwei, who is in charge of electromagnetic weapons research, said seriously."Even the accuracy of the electromagnetic railgun is uncontrollable. Is it really necessary to study this?"

"How could it not?" Liu Yijiu knew that these experts were a little confused about the future.

According to the existing technical conditions, if they want to achieve the goal, they will push 20 kilograms of shells hundreds of kilometers away, and the cost of manufacturing electromagnetic railguns will reach billions of dollars.

Using the coil gun model, it can't meet the requirements.

After all, from the very beginning, the Ninth Academy has studied electromagnetic guns, not just coil guns, nor rail guns, nor more technically difficult reconnect guns.

In order to stand at a higher altitude from the beginning, Liu Yijiu could put it into actual combat application after studying it, and personally produced a structural sketch. The electromagnetic railgun they studied was a real electromagnetic railgun.On the whole, it is a reconnection gun that uses multi-stage electromagnetic continuous acceleration.

According to the model, the whole gun is not much different from the ordinary cannon, of course, this refers to the shape and structure.

In the main part of the cannon, there are various charging devices and shell supply mechanisms.Inside the barrel used to launch the shells, there are multi-stage acceleration devices. Each stage of the acceleration device is connected by a track. The shells are constantly corrected in this track to avoid deviating when accelerating inside the barrel. The center of the accelerating magnetic field at different levels in the barrel.

The electromagnetic railgun that integrates three different ways of studying electromagnetic orbit in the world is far more difficult than the result of 1+1+1, not equal to 3, but equal to 9 or even more...

Just the model is desperate.

This is higher than the processing accuracy required by the laser gun, especially the subsequent assembly accuracy.

Several-stage coils are installed inside the barrel, and the electromagnetic centers generated by these coils are required to be on the same straight line. Even a deviation of 0.01 mm will cause the high speed obtained by the projectile to damage the internal coils and cause the problem of blasting.

Even if the barrel is not damaged, the shells in it have already formed a deviation when they are launched. When going out, the benchmark for aiming at the target is based on the acceleration of the centerline of the barrel, which will form a large deviation.

The difference is a thousand miles away, and it is extremely obvious on the electromagnetic railgun.

Even worse than those cannons.

According to the calculation of the supercomputer, it is verified that if the deviation exceeds 0.1 mm in the center, at a range of 100 kilometers, there will be a circumferential error of more than two kilometers.

Such a result is absolutely unacceptable.

The longer the range, the greater the deviation.

With a range of thousands of miles, the deviation may be tens of kilometers.

Electromagnetic railguns originally used kinetic energy to accurately strike the core parts of local equipment. This situation is even worse than the Scuds modified by the Iraqis. It costs billions of dollars to manufacture. What use is it?

It cannot be installed on a battleship, and there is no way to get a smaller vehicle platform.

It's just consuming money constantly.

"In fact, the degree of difficulty is not as serious as we thought. At least, in terms of energy storage, this can be combined with the laser weapon energy storage device and then undergo some transformations. As for the processing accuracy, this can only be gradually improved... The initial goal, we set the range at 10 kilometers, there is no need to set such a difficult goal from the beginning, isn’t it?" After understanding the details of the project, in order to cheer up the researchers, Liu Yijiu sighed. .

"Any advanced technology cannot be studied quickly. The future application prospects of this weapon are clear to everyone. Moreover, we use it mainly in space to make space-based weapons. These two weapons Built as part of our strategic defense system in the future!" Liu Yijiu saw that he had reduced the difficulty of the task, and these researchers still had little interest.

Had to speak out the purpose.

In this way, everyone cheered up.

"Here is the bottom line for everyone. Whether it is a laser weapon, an electromagnetic orbital weapon, or even our manned space project, it is a complete whole. It is basically impossible to expand on the earth. Our goal I can only choose to be in space..." Liu Yijiu wanted to wave a big hand at everyone, and then vigorously told everyone that our goal was the stars and the sea, but that was too silly.
