213 Railgun that has been eating dust for many years
After the meeting, Lin Fan took Liang Xue to the scientific research space city located in the orbit of Virlas.
The person in charge here is Lin Fan's old acquaintance Bai Zixuan. After he completed the mission with Ed, he came to Shanhaiguan with the third batch of transport fleets.
The old man had been thinking about when Lin Fan could secretly hand him another small card or something. Unfortunately, after several years, nothing came of it.
This made Bai Zixuan so angry that he rushed directly to Lin Fan's office, pointed at Lin Fan's nose and cursed, saying that Lin Fan obviously had such a good scientific research talent, but he wasted it! And so on.
In the end, Lin Fan, who couldn't laugh or cry, could only agree that after defeating the Babavi Empire, he would study various technologies carefully, and Bai Zixuan let him go.
Lin Fan was also very helpless. Who allowed his system to pretend to be dead like this? And he had been pretending to be dead for twenty years...
If the Babavi Empire is not resolved, the system will not be able to activate the official version, and no more technology will be available.
I can only hope that this system will be more powerful by then!
After arriving at the Scientific Research Space City, Lin Fan took Liang Xue directly to Bai Zixuan's laboratory.
"Bai Lao!"
"Huh? What are you doing here, kid? I don't welcome you, a waste of talent, here!"
Seeing that it was Lin Fan, Bai Zixuan immediately started to spray!
"Lao Bai, as I said last time, I can't concentrate on scientific research until the Babavi Empire is defeated! Don't worry, I will definitely concentrate on scientific research after the Babavi Empire is defeated!"
After hearing Lin Fan's words, Bai Zixuan glared at him fiercely, and then let out a long sigh.
"Tell me, what are you doing here?"
"Lao Bai, the first vanguard fleet of the Babavi Empire is already on the way and will arrive in about three years. Although I have developed perfect technology, there are still a few things missing that I need your help with!"
"Tell me, what does your kid need?"
Bai Zixuan looked at Lin Fan and said angrily.
"I need you to help me design a rail gun in the form of a turret. It has a small propeller that can adjust the firing angle. The projectile speed requires at least 0.7 times the speed of light. It also requires rapid mass production. I need to deploy at least 10 million guns within three years!
"
"Well, why do you think you want a rail gun?"
"Isn't this a tactical requirement?"
"Okay, you boy, come with me!"
After saying that, Bai Zixuan walked out, but Lin Fan was stunned for a moment.
Is it still in stock?
Thinking of this, he immediately followed Liang Xue!
Soon, under the leadership of Bai Zixuan, the three of them arrived at a large warehouse in the space city.
In this warehouse, there are all kinds of equipment, some of which can be seen at a glance as the predecessor of certain weapons used by the Federation today, and some of which Lin Fan cannot recognize at all!
"Here are all the things I have studied before. Some are better and the old ones are placed here. Some are directly eliminated because of their own nature, such as the rail gun you want."
As Lin Zixuan spoke, he led Lin Fan and Liang Xue to a huge device.
The first impression of this device is that of a naval gun on a battleship, but its shape is a bit weird. There are ten gun barrels in front, nine of which form a circle, and in the middle of the circle, there is a
The barrel is obviously much thicker than the other nine.
"Lao Bai, what is this?"
"This is what you want, a ten-link rail gun! This was designed specifically for the fourth-level civilization shield. It can fire ten projectiles at the same time each time, one large and nine small, which can ensure ten rounds of projectiles.
It hits a very small area at the same time. And the projectile speed can reach 0.99 times the speed of light. You only need to install a few more attitude control devices that can adjust the attitude, and it can perfectly meet your needs!"
"Lao Bai, why don't you take out such a good thing!"
Lin Fan's eyes lit up when he heard Bai Zixuan's words, what a good thing!
The power of a single shot of this thing can definitely reach the standards of a fourth-level civilization!
"Do you think I'm willing to let the things I've worked so hard to study just eat ashes here? Do you think there are still people in the human race who will support rail guns?"
"Well..."
Lin Fan scratched his head in embarrassment.
Indeed, no one in the Federation today would support the development of rail guns. After all, this thing has always been said to be used only by low-level civilizations (referring to level 1-3 civilizations), and energy weapons after level 4 civilizations are the mainstream and the future.
Direction of development!
Therefore, let alone the Orca-class battleship, even the previous Snow Leopard-class battlecruiser was not equipped with rail guns!
"Lao Bai, is this rail gun system easy to mass produce?"
"No problem. With the current productivity of the Shanhaiguan War Zone, producing 10 million units per year is not a big deal. After all, the technical content of this thing is very low for the current Federation! Even many current civilian production lines can be used to manufacture it with adjustments!"
"Okay, Liang Xue, take charge of this matter, arrange for people to connect with Mr. Bai, and get the production line moving as soon as possible!"
"okay, I get it!"
"By the way, Mr. Bai, can I take this one out to test its power? After all, only by knowing its power can I plan my tactics better!"
Lin Fan stepped forward, stretched out his right hand and touched the dark barrel, then turned to Bai Zixuan and asked.
"Okay, I'll arrange a group of people to cooperate with you in testing!"
"Okay, please excuse me, Mr. Bai!"
Bai Zixuan glanced at Lin Fan, waved his hand impatiently, then left the two of them and walked out.
Lin Fan and Liang Xue showed a wry smile.
This old man is still the same!
The next day, with the support of a technical team sent by Bai Zixuan, the rail gun, which had been gathering dust in the warehouse for more than ten years, was pulled out and sent to the test airspace.
And one astronomical unit away, there is a killer whale-class battleship on standby. Of course, there is no one on the ship, it just stops there and opens the shield!
"Commander, the pre-launch inspection of the rail gun has been completed and testing can begin at any time!"
"Okay, let's get started. Aim at the target ship for the first round of shooting!"
"Yes...the target ship has been aimed, the distance is 1au, 3 seconds countdown before shooting...2...1...shoot!"
Just like a fleet forming an attack formation, the ten projectiles formed a neat shape and shot toward the target at 0.99 times the speed of light!
"Commander, the rail gun has been launched and is expected to hit the target in 9 minutes and 52 seconds!"
"Okay, keep monitoring, and immediately report the damage to the target ship's energy shield after the hit!"
"Yes, Commander!"
After 9 minutes and 52 seconds, ten projectiles hit the target ship accurately, causing a ripple on its shield!
