Chapter 357: High Energy Weapons
After Li Chuan returned to the shore from the sea, he sorted out many work matters and handed them over to the deputy chief designer to perform subsequent work tasks. The person who served as the deputy chief general of 058D was an old scholar and an academician of the two academies sent by the state. The "Qianlong Plan" has received a large amount of resources from the country, including top human resources, otherwise Li Chuan would not be able to leave.
After the 058D sea trial, return to the factory and complete the last 5% and then it can be officially delivered to the national navy. There will be no major technical problems during this period. These tasks can be completed successfully by the deputy chief designer.
As for Li Chuan, he had quietly flew to the Antarctic base, and the 058D large-scale driving was launched into the water and sea trial. On the other side, the GW submarine destroyer maintained almost the same progress, but the new technology applied was more than the 058D, and the speed was still a little slower.
Antarctic base.
Li Chuan arrived at the underground base and came to the central control center. Xiaomu, who was accompanying him, said: "Dad, if we can land on the moon as soon as possible and establish a nuclear material refining base on the lunar surface, we can not only obtain fusion energy, but also assemble more powerful plasma cannons to the main battleship of the Ghost Fleet."
"I can't be anxious. The constraints of objective conditions cannot be ignored. A large group of people outside will not let you climb technology with peace of mind. You have to deal with them." Li Chuan shook his head slowly and added for a moment: 'The plasma cannon cannot be used in a closed base. If the entire base is accidentally blown up, it will be scrapped.'
The shells of the plasma cannon mentioned in Xiaomu are plasma. Plasma is also called plasma. Plasma does not exist in reality and only exist in science fiction film and television works. The reason is that the plasma plasma generated by nuclear fusion is too thin, and how to fire is also a problem. If it is not accelerated, it will disperse. Acceleration requires the acceleration and merge of electrons and nuclei respectively to form high-density and high-speed plasma.
Plasma is the fourth form of matter after solid, liquid, and gas. Plasma itself can reach high temperatures of millions or even tens of millions. Any substance will be instantly evaporated in front of it. If a creature faces it, it will be instantly carbonized. Its destructive power is more terrifying than electromagnetic cannons and laser weapons, and its technical difficulty will undoubtedly be higher.
Obviously, the key to achieving plasma cannons lies in the controllability support of fusion technology. At the same time, plasma cannons or plasma cannons are more suitable for space combat due to their characteristics. The problem is that they include positive and negatively charged particles, and sometimes a few neutral particles. When constrained by magnetic fields, not only the cloud movement directions of different electrical particles are different, but the trajectory of charged particles will also become very unstable due to the coulomb forces between particles and collisions with each other. Moreover, the higher the energy of the plasma body, the more serious this phenomenon is. There is even a risk of direct "fried" when used within the atmosphere.
Li Chuan would not make a stolen plasma in this base, and he would burst here and there would be no place to cry.
Plasma cannons can't be created, but another high-energy weapon can.
"How is the progress?" After coming to the central control center of the base, Li Chuan asked, "The people" here are all artificial people, and there are about forty people in the control center who perform their duties.
"The upstream particle accelerator has been shipped, and it will take three days to debug internally. After that, the sea test can actually test the upstream particle cannon." Xiaomu said, and at the same time the huge main screen in the control center lit up.
That's right, this is the main gun of the submarine drive, a high-energy weapon.
Li Chuan looked up and saw that it was the live scene feedback from the underground manufacturing dock platform. A huge warship occupied most of the screen area. It was the first ship of the Ghost Fleet, a submarine destroyer.
Although there is a 12× 660mm universal torpedo tube device on the ship, the key to the problem is that torpedoes or missiles are difficult to easily get, so it is technically no problem for Li Chuan to make it yourself. However, in other words, the additional base area needs to be expanded, and the time period for the ship to form combat effectiveness will undoubtedly be further postponed.
Moreover, everything like torpedoes or anti-ship missiles is still stuck in weapons that use chemical fuel, which is already a backward technology in Li Chuan's eyes.
Taking into account many objective factors in reality and the issue of quickly forming combat power, upward particle cannons emerged. This high-energy weapon also consumes high-purity energy. As long as there is energy, it means that there will be no weapons without ammunition.
The upstream particle cannon is a powerful high-energy weapon with great destruction power, far stronger than the electromagnetic rail cannon and is also stronger than the laser weapon. However, compared with the destruction power of plasma cannons, that is, plasma cannons, it is unattainable. The power of the upstream particle cannon is between the electromagnetic cannon and the plasma cannon, and the destruction power is greater than the former and weaker than the latter.
The miniaturized particle accelerator on the submarine drive, also known as the upstream particle accelerator, forms an annular device with a diameter of 17.3 meters inside the ship, which is the miniaturized upstream particle accelerator. Although it has been miniaturized, it is relatively not small in reality.
Before firing, the device should gather positive and negative particles to accelerate and impact, thereby generating huge energy, and then vibrate on the high-frequency oscillation device. Then the incoming protons are surrounded by electrons on the ion generator to enter the accelerator for acceleration. The protons are accelerated because they receive energy. When they approach the outlet, the electrons are removed, and the magnetic field is used to turn them into a sharp high-energy directional beam, and then the proton beam is emitted.
This is the basic principle of the upstream particle cannon.
When the energy is concentrated to a certain level, the upward particles can cause devastating damage to objects along the way, which is even more powerful than lasers.
It can be seen that upward particle cannons are high-energy beam weapons, just like laser weapons, but they are more powerful than laser weapons. They are classified as beam weapons because the emitted particle balls can reach sub-light speed or light speed, and the high-energy particle beam will collide with atmospheric molecules to produce a beautiful visible beam. However, upward particle cannons will not produce a beam effect in the universe.
Theoretically, the energy generated by the upward particle cluster at high-speed impact and the secondary magnetic field effect can instantly evaporate the target. Since it is a damage at the molecular level, for the upward particle cannon, unless it is an atomic-level N4 unit structure, usually a simple physical armor is basically meaningless in front of it.
It can be seen from this that compared with laser weapons, the power of the upstream particle cannon is obviously greater than that, and the mass and ballistic speed can be adjusted at any time. However, the upstream particle cannon also has a disadvantage, that is, the accelerator is huge in size, and even if it is miniaturized, the core device is still large. Therefore, only a huge warship can do it. The advantage of laser weapons is that they can be developed into individual weapons and equipment, such as laser guns.
The upward particle cannon has another major disadvantage, which is that although the use of an annular particle acceleration device can reduce the volume and make it board the ship, the tangent of the acceleration track will produce fatal radiation. For this reason, Li Chuan had to spend nearly 2 billion yuan to establish an isolated radiation device to solve this problem.
No wonder the submarine drive was equipped with only one naval gun. With this cost and space possession, Li Chuan believed that he was a "super soft girl coin player" on the surface of Blue Star, and he could not stand it.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire destroyer is golden and completely a "krypton gold warship".
