Chapter 538 400mm Machine Gun

For civilizations that can sail interstellarly, fusion reactors should only be considered basic technology, indeed can only be regarded as conventional power, and fission power should have been eliminated...

In the scope of space navigation, it does not have super-time and space capabilities and cannot conduct near-light navigation, and of course it can only be regarded as conventional power.

Chen Chen saw that everyone's emotions were stable, and then continued to explain the power system of the spacecraft:

"There are five sets of these reactors on the patrol ship, but only one set is used as a power source every day. In this case, the maximum speed can reach 0.8 times the speed of sound.

"Of the remaining four groups of reactors, one is the energy source of ship-based weapons and the other is the basic shield energy source.

"The last two groups are redundant, which can be replaced when other reactors fail, or can be temporarily used to strengthen power or shields.

"If two sets of backup reactors are used as flight power, the speed of the patrol ship can reach 2.5 times the speed of sound..."

After Chen Chen finished speaking, a gasp sounded again at the scene.

Although twice the speed of sound cruise is also a capability that can be achieved for Earth Technology.

But that is only the ability of the latest fighter, and it can only be achieved in a short period of time, and the fuel consumption is extremely large during supersonic cruise.

Those fighter jets usually only have a dozen tons, and the maximum take-off weight is only about 40 tons.

And now the so-called patrol ship in front of us weighs "100,000" tons!

How much thrust is needed for such a big thing to fly?

With such a large volume, how much power is needed to conduct supersonic cruise?

If it is traditional power, how much oil should I burn?

No, it is impossible to achieve no matter how much oil you burn!

It is estimated that only by abandoning fuel, using nuclear power, and fully mature fusion power can such a feat be accomplished.

The sitting bosses looked surprised and did not recover for a long time, while Chen Chen in front continued to explain:

"Now let's take a look at the ship's ship-based weapon system...you can see the schematic diagram..."

After hearing Chen Chen's words, Xingchen immediately opened the corresponding picture.

Chen Chen lit the screen with a telescopic rod: "The patrol ship's ship-based weapon system is first of all the main guns. There are two sets of double-mounted main guns on the abdomen and top of the hull, with a total of 8 pcs and a caliber of 800 mm.

"There are two sets of four-unit secondary guns on both sides of the hull, with a total of 16 pieces, which can be turned at will, and the caliber is 400 mm.

"Although its main gun and secondary gun can be regarded as energy guns, its combat mode is not a 'recharge-release' mode.

"Because its main task is to patrol armedly within the atmosphere, it is another and more suitable for combat in the atmosphere.

"We know that this kind of metal seed can grow on its own, so it can consume metal at any time to form the props you need.

"The shells used by its main gun and secondary gun are a temporary, disposable high-intensity magnetic field generator. The magnetic field it forms can constrain and maintain the progress of nuclear fusion reactions.

"Then, every time the main gun and the secondary gun are fired, they are shells, that is, magnetic field generators.

"Then the magnetic field of the shell is activated, filled with nuclear raw materials, and ignited nuclear fusion at the same time.

"Then, use the energy of the weapon reactor to launch the shells that are reacting inside, that is, the magnetic field generator that undergoes nuclear fusion inside, to fire out.

"So in fact, the shells fired by the main gun and the secondary gun are nuclear bombs one by one.

"After the shell hits the target, the magnetic field constraint disappears, and the energy generated by the already underway nuclear fusion explodes out directly, producing the same destructive power as a nuclear bomb.

"Because it is a simple nuclear fusion and no fission reaction is involved, the release of pure energy is so clean and there is no nuclear pollution."

When Chen Chen said this, he paused for a moment because Chen Chen felt that someone should ask questions at this time.

Sure enough, a senior executive who Chen Chen didn't know couldn't help but speak:

"Sorry, Mr. Chen Chen, I have a question to confirm. You said that the shells fired by this main gun and secondary gun are actually temporary nuclear bombs. So how powerful are their respective ones?"

Chen Chen nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "That's right. There is no clear data on the power of the energy cannon. For the time being, it can only be estimated through principles and data.

"According to the principle of the main gun and the secondary gun, the amount of their power depends on the amount of nuclear raw material infused before launch.

"The amount of nuclear raw material that can be filled depends on the strength of the magnetic field generator.

"According to the data that the secondary artillery shell can maintain nuclear reaction should start at 10,000 tons of equivalents, and the maximum should reach 200,000 tons of equivalents.

"The power of the main gun starts at 100,000 tons, and the maximum amount can be achieved by one million tons..."

With Chen Chen's explanation, the senior executives on the scene and at the distance were silent one by one, thinking about the impact of this thing.

In fact, making nuclear bombs is not a new technology for several major powers in the world today.

But the key is that the production, storage, maintenance and maintenance of nuclear bombs are quite complicated.

Especially hydrogen bombs, almost no country has a permanent hydrogen bomb because of its main raw materials, "tritium".

"Trent" has nearly zero reserves in nature and can only be produced through nuclear reactions.

The half-life of "tritium" is only 12.43 years, which means that the shelf life of the hydrogen bomb is 12.43 years. If it is not used, it will not be used after it has expired.

The cost of holding a large number of nuclear weapons is very high, so the number of permanent nuclear weapons in Donghua has always been low.

The nuclear bomb released in front of you is formed in time, without production in advance, maintenance on time, and is made as you use. It is really too convenient.

Even if each cannon can only be fired once a day, it is of great strategic significance.

The most dangerous time for a sword is before it is unsheathed, and the most important meaning of nuclear weapons is deterrence, not really used to kill enemies. This is something that the top leaders understand very well.

On Earth, except for the two thrown on Neon's heads at the end of World War II, no country has ever used nuclear weapons in actual combat.

Thinking of this, a senior executive couldn't help but ask again: "So Mr. Chen, how often can they fire these nuclear shells?"

Chen Chen thought for a moment: "There is no physical data, but according to estimates, the secondary gun is ten per minute, and the range of the main gun is one per minute..."

"Hiss..." Everyone gasped when they heard this, although this speed could be said to be quite low among modern naval guns.

But you have to know that this thing is fired with nuclear bombs! Is this thing a strategic weapon good?

Strategic weapons are delivered at the same speed as conventional weapons, which is awesome!

There are 16 sub-air guns in total, with 160 rounds per minute. This requires the same speed as a machine gun and throwing nuclear bombs out.

As long as I think about the past, my scalp will get numb.
Chapter completed!
