Ye Han's eyes almost fell out: "Is this okay? You really dare to think about it!"
"We are doing research, how can we not think more divergently?" The experimenter laughed, "We call this flap armor, and this kind of battleship is temporarily called flap battleship. It is currently the most effective method. If this solution is not used, the super gunship will be
The firepower of the ship will be immediately reduced by half, in which case the super gunboat will be meaningless."
Ye Han thought of the power of super cannons, and the scene of a group of super cannons lined up in neat lines, firing across the void again and again, completely annihilating enemy troops tens of thousands of kilometers away, came to mind: "What's its range? Is there any?"
Twenty thousand kilometers?”
"Twenty thousand?" The experimenter was so frightened that he couldn't close his mouth. "You think you are our super battleship? The super battleship is not that big, and the total number of lasers is only 200,000, with an effective range of just over 10,000 kilometers.
"
"So few?" Ye Han's eyebrows immediately twisted together, "Back then, the No. 3 super cannon was not completed yet. There were more than 400,000 lasers, and the range was more than 40,000. How come the range of this ship must be 20,000, right?"
The experimenter smiled bitterly: "That's not how the account was calculated. It's just over 10,000!"
Ye Han smacked his lips: "What if we add more lasers? If we increase it to more than 400,000, will the range be 40,000 kilometers?"
"This... I have to do some calculations to know. In theory, there should be." The experimenter had a headache. Why did he meet a curious baby today? He was quite knowledgeable. If he continued to ask this question, he would not be able to answer.
.
"Then add lasers!" Ye Han said, "It only costs 200,000 yuan, so you are so proud and complacent?"
The experimenter thought to himself that this was all a mess? He replied with a grimace: "No, the surface area of the battleship is only that big. If you remove the propellers and other equipment, the remaining area can only hold so much. This is the result of optimization.
Otherwise, it’s hard to say whether it can reach 200,000.”
"Then when will it be equipped with the fleet?"
"Not yet." The experimenter answered simply. He also knew that Ye Han would definitely not finish it if he didn't explain it clearly. He explained before Ye Han asked, "This is just a conceptual model, and it is still early to be put into practical use."
Ye Han was puzzled: "Why, isn't this good?"
"It's a design problem. The space environment is too harsh, and the laser is full of electronic components. If it is kept on the surface of the battleship, it will break down soon. So we plan to design a new turret to house the laser transmitter.
The launchers are all installed in the turret for protection, and once the turret is designed, it will not be far from practical use."
Ye Han wondered: "Can't the existing turret be used?"
"It works, but it doesn't meet the needs of a super battleship. We need a special turret with a flat structure and a relatively large top surface that can house dozens or even dozens of lasers at a time."
"Isn't it difficult to equip a turret like this?"
The experimenter choked and reluctantly said: "We still have some technical problems that we haven't solved yet... Don't ask me what the problem is, I'm not specializing in this, and I can't explain it even if you ask me!"
"Okay, then don't ask." Ye Han nodded happily, "Then let me give you an idea."
The experimenter was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses: "I wish I could have asked for it!"
Ye Han said: "I think the idea of super battleship is very good, but there is no need to stare at the surface of the battleship. Since we are using this, what is it called?"
"Flat Armor!"
"Yes, that's it. Since we have used this thing, why not go the other way and install the laser on the other side of the armor?" Ye Han said, pointing to the battleship model.
When the flap armor on the model is opened, it is similar to the elytra on a bug. Now the laser is installed outside the elytra, and Ye Han's idea is to install it under the elytra, so that when the armor is closed, the laser can be placed
By buckling it under the armor flap for protection, not only the damage problem of the laser is solved, but the turret does not need to be redesigned.
The experimenter's eyes widened when he heard it, and his mind could not turn around for a moment: "After the armor is opened, it has to turn 180 degrees, otherwise it will have to fire backwards!"
"You're stupid!" Ye Han screamed and collapsed, "Why are you turning around? Just put the armor upside down, and then open it and face it directly to the front, right?"
Seeing that the experimenter still looked confused, Ye Han rolled his eyes: "Think of the super battleship as a flower. The torus is the propeller, and the petals are the armor. The laser is usually wrapped in the flower buds. After it blooms, the laser inside the petals
Isn’t it just that it’s facing forward?”
"Oh oh oh, I understand, I understand!" The experimenter jumped up and hit his head on the board. After falling down, he was still overjoyed and quickly took out a tablet to write down Ye Han's words.
He was so exaggerated that everyone turned their attention to him.
Ye Han waved his hand casually, and the soldiers immediately withdrew their curious eyes and looked at themselves.
Seeing that the experimenter had almost remembered it, Ye Han said again: "Actually, I have another idea. Do you want to hear it?"
"Yes, of course I do!" The experimenter nodded vigorously.
Ye Han clasped his hands together, then slowly opened them, and finally took a look at the battleship model: "Do you understand?"
The experimenter thought for a moment, his eyes shining like light bulbs: "You mean, folding?"
Ye Han smiled: "Yes, just fold it. If you stack it one layer, the armor area will double. If you stack it two layers, it will double. This model is 200,000. If it is stacked two layers, it will be 600,000. The range is 40,000 kilometers.
All right."
Ye Han thought that the experimenter would record again after listening, but he didn't expect that he would actually put on a depressed expression: "The two hundred thousand alone will have to be supported by eight reactors. If it is increased to six hundred thousand, it will still be twenty thousand."
How many reactors are needed?”
Ye Han's proud eyes suddenly glazed over. He looked at the model and then at the experimenter, then showed a hint of bitterness: "It doesn't consume so much electricity, does it?"
The experimenter nodded: "It's just that it consumes so much electricity. This is because the energy consumption has been optimized for boarding the ship. Those on the moon don't care about the cost at all, they consume more electricity than this one."
Ye Han grinned: "Can't you change to a reactor with a higher power?"
Reactors are not something that can be turned on at a moment's notice or stopped at a moment's notice. The most important thing is to reduce the power to a minimum when not in use.
If a super battleship is equipped with so many reactors, it will have to be fully turned on when not firing. Only when fighting aliens will the power be temporarily increased... That is more than twenty nuclear reactors that are running all the time, even if they are only used at the minimum
Running at high power will also waste a lot of nuclear fuel.
Just thinking about it, I know that the military will definitely not accept this crappy plan.
