Chapter 337: The ideal electromagnetic gun and the realistic electromagnetic gun
The test work of Kongjian-2 has aroused major international attention and heated public opinion.
Because of the outstanding performance of Kongjian-2, all relevant people can be sure that anti-gravity aircraft are the direction of future aviation technology development.
This has also made the world pay more attention to the high-end technologies involved in Kongjian-2, especially superconducting battery technology and anti-gravity technology, and they have invested heavily in supporting research and development.
Domestically, there is a lot of pride and excitement.
The test of Kongjian-2 was a complete success, and the next work is to continuously improve it.
The current Kongjian-2 can already be considered as an aircraft with perfect performance. Compared with the "service", the only difference is the perfect equipment, weapon system, etc.
That is also a big project.
If we follow the normal process, both the Air Force and the Army can start making plans to purchase the bare metal of Kongjian-2, then transport it to a specialized department to assemble the equipment, and then it can enter the service stage.
When it has reached this level, Kongkan-2 will definitely appear on the display in October.
Of course, follow-up testing is still needed, and the Air Force and the Air Force must also consider cost issues when planning and purchasing. Kongjian-2 is still very expensive, and the manufacturing cost of the prototype is as high as 2.3 billion coins.
Even if it is manufactured later, the short-term cost can only be reduced to 1.5 billion flower coins at most.
This is also the result of purchasing superconducting materials at low prices.
If measured by normal market prices, the manufacturing of Kongjian-2 requires at least 2.5 billion kinds of flower coins. Coupled with the patents, technologies and high-end materials involved, the cost is even more incalculable.
Of course, Air Force procurement does not need to calculate the 'market price', and the market does not allow sales at all.
So just count the 1.5 billion cost of subsequent manufacturing.
1.5 billion is not too much. It is only more than 200 million when converted into US dollars. Considering the practicality of Kongjian-2, the cost can certainly be regarded as very low. If compared with some military aircraft, it can be clearly seen that
came out.
For example, the bare-metal cost of Amrican's famous Aifu 22 Raptor still exceeds US$150 million.
The same goes for other top heavy fighters. The high cost of fifth-generation heavy fighters is unavoidable.
The purchase price of Amerikan's B2 bomber reached an astonishing US$2.4 billion, which can definitely be described as an astronomical figure.
In comparison, the bare-metal cost of the Kongkan-2, which has such excellent technical performance that it is considered "invincible," is just over 200 million US dollars, is certainly very cheap.
The number of bombs attached to the Kongjian-2 is usually more than 100, and the highest can even exceed 300. Its performance in bombing is definitely not weaker than that of the B2.
…
After completing the work related to Kongjian-2, Wang Hao also took a good rest for a week.
He is no longer alone.
Su Yingxue accompanies him. Sometimes, they go out for a walk together and look around. The holiday life is also very rich. Wang Hao is the kind of person who can't stay any longer.
Even if he has time to rest, he will occasionally go to Xihai University to take a look at the Mason Mathematics Laboratory, and also go back to the Mathematics Center to pay attention to other people's research.
For example, the mathematical research conducted by people such as Kacher-Birkar, Zhang He, Tian Hong, etc. is very interesting.
Of course they are all obscure and difficult to understand.
Wang Hao usually just pays attention to the content and does not directly participate in it, but occasionally he knows the right direction and will make a few comments on the side, hoping that everyone can do better research.
He is still more interested in the research of Paul Phil-Jones, Helen, Chen Mengmeng and others, because they are doing research on annihilation theory and have been improving the theory related to strong annihilation force.
This aspect is what Wang Hao attaches most importance to, and he hopes there will be more breakthroughs in theory.
However, recently, no one seems to be interested in research, and they are all talking about Kongjian-2 related content. When they see Wang Hao, they will immediately talk about Kongjian-2, "Academician Wang, the flying saucer you are studying is too powerful. I watched the video
, falling straight and vertically!”
"Yes, it's full of technology and could be put directly into a science fiction movie!"
"There are crews filming science fiction movies about aliens coming to the earth, and they can directly use the lenses you tested."
"The airship series is so invincible..."
"It is said that it can hang nearly 50,000 meters in the air? Is that right? I read on foreign websites that it cannot be shot down at all."
Others only talked about it with excitement, and people who were familiar with Wang Hao talked more.
For example, Zhang Zhiqiang.
Zhang Zhiqiang and Wang Hao are very good friends, so their conversations are naturally different. He directly asked Wang Hao about his plans, "Wang Hao, will you study other high technologies in the future?"
"What about?" Wang Hao was a little confused.
"Too much!"
Zhang Zhiqiang pointed at his fingers and said, "Take aircraft as an example, have you heard of the 'Nantianmen' plan? There are many high technologies that have not yet been realized, such as large-scale strategic air and space carrier platforms, air and space unmanned combat aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles."
Tactical mecha..."
Wang Hao's face turned dark when he heard this.
He had indeed heard of the 'Nantianmen' plan, some of which were possible to be realized in the future, and some of which were simply imaginative and inconsistent with real-world technology.
All Zhang Zhiqiang talked about was the ‘implemented weapon or weapon platform’ and did not talk about any technical issues at all.
Research requires one step at a time!
Finally Zhang Zhiqiang stopped with some unfinished thoughts, and then finally talked about a technological issue, "Of course, if you want to achieve this, you must have technical support."
"For example, a strategic aerospace aircraft platform will definitely need energy and power support, so...will you study nuclear fusion?"
"this……"
Wang Hao hesitated for a moment.
Zhang Zhiqiang didn't seem to care about Wang Hao's expression. He continued, "Not only nuclear fusion, but also electromagnetic guns, anti-gravity space shuttles, civilian high-performance superconducting electric-powered aircraft, anti-gravity flying cars..."
"——?"
Wang Hao covered his forehead hard and couldn't help but interrupt, "Where did you see these things?"
“Online!”
Zhang Zhiqiang suddenly said excitedly, "There are a lot of them on the Internet! You have already built an anti-gravity aircraft, and many people say that you can definitely develop other high-end technological products."
"Anti-gravity aircraft can only be used in the military. Civilian use is also very important. If there can be an anti-gravity flying car... just think about it..."
As he spoke, he suddenly changed the subject, "I have always wanted to buy a new car, and Yanzi also said that I want to change it. The space of my car is too small, and it is not luxuriously equipped. There are no functions such as seat heating and automatic driving.
.”
"I was just thinking..."
"If you want to research an anti-gravity flying car for civilian use, I won't change the car for the time being. When you come up with it, you will definitely sell me one at a cheap price!"
"The relationship between us is...right!"
"..."
The corners of Wang Hao's mouth twitched up, "Brother Zhang, you are thinking a little too far."
"Haha~~ Just thinking about it."
Wang Hao shook his head and said, "At least for the time being, I have no plans to research in this direction."
He said seriously, "Actually, the high technologies you mentioned are very interesting, but to be honest, I don't like studying those things, including anti-gravity aircraft. I don't like them."
"Why?" Zhang Zhiqiang was immediately puzzled.
Wang Hao said matter-of-factly, "Because it's not difficult." He shook his head helplessly as he said, "Anti-gravity aircraft is just an application of technology, that is, using existing technology, nothing more."
"I still like research that is challenging and may discover new things and bring new surprises, so my main direction is still the strong annihilation force."
This is what I say from my heart.
Whether he is doing research on superconducting batteries, high-end bearings or superconducting motors, what he does is to rely on system feedback to help find the right direction and make the right decisions.
That's all.
Compared with the direction of strong annihilation force, the research on the application of science and technology is not difficult at all, and it is far from even a surprise.
Of course, Wang Hao would not say this to anyone else. Only with Zhang Zhiqiang, a familiar friend, would he tell his true feelings.
Zhang Zhiqiang’s feeling is different.
His face turned dark.
Is it not difficult to research anti-gravity aircraft? Listen, is this a human saying?
I don’t know how many people in the world are envious of anti-gravity aircraft, but they cannot research the high-end technology involved, let alone build an aircraft.
The slogans shouted by many related aviation organizations and aviation manufacturing companies are ‘high investment, tight focus on core technology research, and strive to catch up with the Kongchuan-2’.
What they cannot pursue...
Wang Hao said simple?
Not difficult?
Zhang Zhiqiang didn't know how to react for a while.
Wang Hao continued, "It is science that can change the world. Science supports technological development, but there are many people who can do technological research. If it is restricted by science, technology will not be able to produce revolutionary progress."
"Brother Zhang, you should understand this."
"The current Kongjian-2 can be said to have reached the peak of technology application. Going further will only apply anti-gravity technology in aerospace or other fields. It is only relatively high-end and will not bring about a qualitative change in technology."
"So the most valuable thing is to explore the direction of the strong annihilation force of the airship!"
This is Wang Hao's true thoughts.
He is also preparing to devote himself to research related to strong annihilation power in the next stage.
…
Wang Hao still has a lot of work to do before entering the next stage of research.
He took a plane to Wucheng.
This time I joined a group of experts to visit the 701 Research Institute of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation.
The China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation 701 Research Institute in Wucheng is specifically responsible for the design of new aircraft carriers.
If we trace the time back to three years ago, the design of new aircraft carriers has attracted great attention, because it has been determined that the next new aircraft carrier will be nuclear-powered and will also become the first independently developed nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
This is of iconic significance.
Aircraft carriers require continuous energy drive to carry out long-distance operations, but conventionally powered aircraft carriers are unable to support long-distance operations due to limited fuel issues.
It's like a car, you need to refuel when you travel a certain distance.
But now, the research work on the new aircraft carrier is a bit embarrassing, especially after the Kongzhuan-2 test, the new aircraft carrier has received even less attention.
the reason is simple.
International public opinion has recognized that Kongjian-2 is invincible. As long as Kongjian-2 is flying at high altitude, no matter what kind of powered aircraft carrier it is, it is no different from a living target.
If Kongjian-2 were to carry out the mission of attacking an aircraft carrier, given the speed of the aircraft carrier, it would not even be able to run away.
So what’s the point of spending so much money building aircraft carriers?
Because of this, many people from the expert group came here just to pay attention to the content of core technologies. Naturally, the one that received the most attention was aircraft carrier nuclear power technology.
The reason why aircraft carrier nuclear power technology has received a lot of attention is because, except for American, no other country has been able to independently build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
If a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier can be built, it will naturally prove that the relevant fields have reached the top of the world.
The country has long had nuclear power technology, for example, it can produce nuclear-powered submarines. However, because the performance of the relevant nuclear reactors is not up to standard, it cannot support the driving of large aircraft carriers.
Nowadays, to create nuclear-powered aircraft, we need sufficiently complete technology.
"The technology is already there."
Li Hongshuo sat down and introduced to the expert group, "Relevant teams have conducted many experiments. To a certain extent, the output of the nuclear reactor can be guaranteed and the power is sufficient."
"To a certain extent?" Some experts caught the keyword.
Li Hongshuo suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "The news we got is this."
The implication is that they are not responsible for research related to nuclear reactors.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, everyone knows that the relevant technology must exist, but whether the high power, high conversion rate and stability of the relevant nuclear reactors can be guaranteed still requires a lot of experiments.
Even a reality check.
Wang Hao also has some interest in key nuclear reactor technology.
Hearing Li Hongshuo's question, he suddenly had other ideas. He thought of the issue of strong annihilation power.
When the annihilation force increases to a certain extent, pure mesons will be annihilated, and even energy transfer will be isolated, but the activity of particles with mass will be greatly enhanced, even several times or dozens of times.
Then here comes the problem.
Will a strong annihilation force field increase the speed of nuclear fission reactions?
Wang Hao followed the expert group on a tour and kept thinking about this question in his mind. He felt that the answer was 'yes', but the intensity of the annihilation force must be controlled within a certain range.
Otherwise, it may be counterproductive.
He was no longer interested in the subsequent visits. Instead, he stayed at the end of the queue and continued the previous topic with Li Hongshuo, asking about electromagnetic gun-related technologies.
When Li Hongshuo talked about superconducting batteries, he mentioned that they could be used to drive electromagnetic guns, but he did not discuss related issues in detail.
Now he started talking seriously.
When the electromagnetic gun technology was actually introduced, Wang Hao suddenly became uninterested again, because the superconducting battery only played a role in providing energy for the electromagnetic gun, rather than being a key technology.
In addition, the electromagnetic gun is completely different from what you imagined.
In ordinary people's imagination, electromagnetic guns shoot out "electromagnetic matter" or "electromagnetic rays", just like in games and science fiction movies, hitting and destroying targets instantly.
Actually...
The electromagnetic gun only uses the principle of 'electromagnetic induction'. The ampere force generated by the electromagnetic field can accelerate the metal projectile to achieve the kinetic energy required to hit the target.
Compared with traditional gunpowder-driven artillery, the advantage of electromagnetic guns is that they greatly increase the speed and range of projectiles.
Anyway, it’s just a regular artillery shell!
Wang Hao just felt, "What a boring technology." Then he interrupted Li Hongshuo's "excited" introduction and asked, "Isn't there a real electromagnetic gun?"
"I'm referring to the technology that directly launches super-powerful 'electromagnetic artillery shells' and destroys target electronic equipment at the speed of light?"
He asked the question from the perspective of an ordinary person understanding the "electromagnetic gun".
Li Hongshuo was immediately confused by the question. After a long time, he muttered, "Academician Wang, if we had such high-end technology, wouldn't it be possible to knock down satellites instantly?"
"Yes." Wang Hao nodded and asked, "I'm not asking for it to be manufactured. It's fine if you have technical theory!"
"……No."
Li Hongshuo added, "I am absolutely certain that there is no such thing, and there will never be one in the future!"
