"Things in the science fiction field?" Hearing the doubts of the people present, the technician said: "Is the electromagnetic gun from the science fiction world?"
"I won't talk about the distance. Just talking about World War II in the last century, countries have studied it. German Hansley once accelerated a 10-gram projectile with an electromagnetic cannon to a speed of 1.2 km/sec.
In the early 1970s, the Australian National University built the first electromagnetic launcher, accelerating the 3-gram plastic block simulated shell to a speed of 6,000 meters per second. After that, they continued to improve the installation and put 3 grams.
The projectile accelerated to 5.9 km/sec. Everyone, this speed is close to the first cosmic speed! It is precisely because of the results of this experiment that it attracted a large number of people that the United States established a special joint committee for electromagnetic guns. Later, in the Star Wars era
It's here. Although it has been confirmed that this is a scam, some of the things in it still have practical significance. For example, the American Westinghouse successfully accelerated the 300-gram shell to about 4 kilometers per second.
In the 1990s, the United States had pushed an electromagnetic gun sample with a caliber of 90 mm and a kinetic energy of 9 megajou to Yuma shooting range for testing. These are all things from the last century. Do you actually say it is science fiction?
”
He put all these things out, so the people present could not deny anything. He was right. This kind of electromagnetic gun is not only something in science fiction, but is being developed by all countries, and now,
A lot of progress has been made. Even if there is no active electromagnetic gun in various countries, related research has never been relaxed.
"That's abroad, how much has we studied at home?" Finally, someone asked a question.
This is also a point of view of everyone. Even if there are good electromagnetic guns abroad, it is also from abroad. In China, there are no results that have been developed yet, right?
"Related research in our country is also continuing," said the technician: "In the navy, there have been many achievements. In less than two years, our own electromagnetic gun can be installed on the warship for testing.
It has a muzzle kinetic energy of 32 megajoules, and the shells can hit two hundred kilometers away."
Have a specialized career!
Everyone present made tanks and guns, but there were no electromagnetic guns. Although everyone knew that this thing was very powerful, no one knew what level had reached in China.
It’s the person in front of me who has provided popular science for everyone. Our domestic electromagnetic gun has been developed for a long time, and it will be tested in a few years.
The kinetic energy of the muzzle is 32 megajou, what a terrible number, it is almost three times the kinetic energy of the current 125mm tank gun. If it is used on a tank, the depth of the armor piercing can be increased by at least twice!
Everyone present was shocked.
"There are indeed many problems at this stage. It requires powerful electricity and precision equipment. Moreover, after the range is longer, the accuracy will also decrease. However, the electromagnetic gun is indeed an advantage in the future."
The technician said: "Since we are going to discuss the next generation of tank layout, perhaps we should consider electromagnetic guns. Don't always hold on to the past. The times are developing and moving forward."
"How do you know so much?" Qin Zhenhua asked, and his tone became polite, because what this technician said was indeed too surprising.
"Because, I was sent by Academician Ma. Academician Ma has been doing these things over the years." The technician said: "My name is Liu Wei, a technician under Academician Ma. I can come to join us.
The R&D conference of the first generation of tanks is very honored.”
No wonder I don’t know him. He is not an insider of the tank industrial system, but from the outside world. The technician under a famous academician is of course quite powerful.
Everyone was questioning this person's words just now, but now, when they heard that it was Academician Ma's subordinates, they immediately became awe-inspiring.
However, Academician Ma has been working on naval weapons systems, so they do not know the progress of these things. Even among the people present, some people who have been involved in electromagnetic guns, have no interaction with Academician Ma and others.
Now, this person's introduction immediately opened up a new world for everyone.
Everyone looked at this person, and although they no longer doubted him, they still had technical questions.
Since this electromagnetic gun will start testing in recent years, they will not be confused. On the other hand, what's going on with this electromagnetic armor?
Qin Zhenhua asked on behalf of everyone: "Liu Wei, what you said just now will open our eyes. We are all frogs in the well and cannot see the future technological development. We have heard of this electromagnetic gun, but
I don’t know the progress of the research, but we have never been exposed to this electromagnetic armor. Let me tell you what happened to electromagnetic armor?"
Domestic tanks use ceramic composite armor as the main body, and the outer layer of explosion reaction armor is covered with, which together form the tank's protection system. This is the limit that domestic armor technicians can do.
There are also advanced concepts. For example, the active defense system of tanks is now popular. When the anti-tank weapon on the opposite side flies over, the defense system here actively detonates and blows the opponent's anti-tank weapon away. This is also a kind of
trend.
However, I have never heard of this electromagnetic armor.
"Now, the development of armor has entered a bottleneck period. In order to enhance its protection, countries have to increase the weight of tanks. Among them, especially with Britain, their Challenger tanks have been upgraded to the new armor. The weight has been already
More than seventy tons." Liu Wei said: "It is obviously not possible to develop like this. Just like the emergence of composite armor brought about a revolution in armor protection. Now, electromagnetic armor will also lead
This revolution.”
Obviously, Liu Wei was sent here not only because of his strong skills, but also because he also knows some professional matters related to tanks. At least he must be a military fan of the ashes. His performance against various tanks is
It's very clear.
The current composite armor and explosion-reactive armor have developed to a bottleneck. If it continues to develop, it will face various problems. Therefore, a new technology needs to emerge.
