Chapter 1075 High Power Microwave Weapon
Several years have passed, and Dayang Group's research base has become more and more busy. Even the entire research base has expanded a circle, and has become a super scientific research city.
Although it covers an area of more than a hundred miles, it still adopts complete and strict militarized management. Every project leader, important professor, etc. has at least one secretary, and these secretaries themselves are also trained by Dayang Group headquarters.
However, the material life enjoyed by all scientific researchers is beyond imagination. In the scientific research base, it is also free; out of the scientific research base, it is basically free, that is, there is someone to accompany it.
In the current world, who does not know the preciousness of scientific researchers.
The buildings in the living area here are not high, mainly three or five floors, and most of them are self-built villas; a few high-rise buildings are also guarded, or are equipped with arrays. Only specially designed research and laboratory buildings, office buildings, etc. will reach tens of meters or hundreds of meters.
Zhang Hao was thinking while observing the surrounding environment.
At present, the rail gun research is successful, but it can only be said to be a temporary success, the first phase of the plan is successful, and the follow-up research still cannot be stopped.
The physical limit of the current rail gun is 50 kilograms of shells and a speed of 500 kilometers per second. Although it is powerful enough, it still needs to be more powerful. The speed of 500 kilometers per second is still slow in the space environment—the speed of light seems slow!
When Zhang Hao came, Lin Yinghao was instructing one of his students to test a brand new rail gun, or it should be called a 'rail gun' more appropriately.
Zhang Hao and Zhou Xueyao stood beside them without speaking, just watching quietly.
The target of the rail gun is a solidified supernatural power - so close to the world, and it is also a supernatural power of the hole level.
Among all the defensive means of practice, the most effective defense against super weapons such as rail guns is the supernatural power that is close at hand. Not to mention anything else, as long as it can be delayed for even 0.1 second, it is enough for the masters to transfer.
But supernatural powers are not invincible. In the past, there was a saying in the practice world that "supernatural powers are invincible to the number of days". Looking at the current situation, even supernatural powers cannot completely stop technological weapons. The difference is the issue of power.
When testing the rail gun before, it was found that when the power of the rail gun reaches a certain limit, specifically, when the speed of a kilogram of shell reaches 50 times the speed of sound, that is, the speed of 25 kilometers per second, the power of the shell will be enough to overwhelm the Almost all supernatural powers are shattered.
In the face of such ferocious railgun shells, the once powerful supernatural powers known as the first life-saving means will shatter like glass and will not have the slightest effect.
But what is being studied now is a hand-held 'rail gun'.
Zhang Hao is also aware of the rail gun research project. Using multiple nuclear batteries for power supply, the previous generation of guns was about 1.5 meters long, a bit bulky, and barely powerful.
However, in the current test, the length has been reduced to 1.2 meters, and it seems that the weight has been reduced by at least half. Some structures have been made of aluminum or even engineering plastics.
The power of the gun is also impressive, it can crush the supernatural powers arranged in front of you. But after breaking through the supernatural power, it doesn't have much lethality, at least it is no longer a threat to the master of the hole.
After testing the rail gun several times, Lin Yinghao shook his head slightly. Encouraging the students: "This gun is powerful enough to threaten Faxiang, and maybe a little threat to the Dongxu class. But what we have to deal with is the war in the starry sky, and this kind of power is far from enough.
In space, what we have to deal with is not only more advanced masters, but also masters who are armed to the teeth. The power of the gun must be increased by at least 20 times.
Hmm... The existing structure may not work anymore, you should try to think of a completely new structure. The traditional coil structure has not much potential to tap. Maybe you can try the electromagnetic slingshot effect that has just been established. Similar to the effect of a gravitational slingshot.
go. "
After waiting for the students to leave, Lin Yinghao turned to welcome Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao nodded with a smile, "Yes, the progress is very good."
Lin Yinghao shook his head slightly, and frowned a little: "But it's still not enough. Such guns are not enough to tickle in space."
Zhang Hao shook his head slightly: "In space battles, I don't plan to let practitioners fight directly with flesh and blood. Isn't it ready to study mechas? Now the mecha research department has achieved good results.
You can work with the mecha research department to research rail guns. Use the energy of the mecha as the power source. "
Lin Yinghao smiled a little smugly: "We also have research on this. However, I still research the portable rail gun independently. The weapon must be researched in a whole series in order to deal with various possible application scenarios.
Moreover, this kind of research itself is also a technological progress. Maybe a little bit of technical progress in guns can be applied to the entire space strategy system and shine brightly. "
"That's right. By the way, what's the matter with the electromagnetic slingshot effect you just mentioned?"
"This is one of the research results of field energy technology. Of course, it is only theoretical at present, and practical application still needs efforts.
The original idea of electromagnetic slingshot was inspired by the gravitational slingshot effect of the planet. After all, the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field seem to have something in common.
However, subsequent research has been difficult to continue. The reason why the planet has gravity is because of the mass of the planet itself. And the effect of the gravitational slingshot itself is not obvious enough.
And to make a weapon, the strength of the magnetic field required is tens of millions of times stronger than the gravity of the planet. So, the research hit a dead end from the start. Even once to give up this research.
However, not long ago, Zhao Dahe and others have achieved certain results in their research on the sun, from which we have seen the electromagnetic slingshot effect that exists in nature. That's the prominence!
Why can the sun eject tens of millions or even billions of tons of solar prominences to an altitude of one million kilometers?
The largest solar prominence we observed was observed last year. In less than a minute, sunspots suddenly erupted on the relatively static surface of the sun. At the same time, a solar prominence appeared and rose to 120 kilometers in 57 seconds. High altitude, lasting up to 6 minutes.
During this period, the temperature of the prominence rose rapidly from about 7000 degrees to 2 million degrees.
Of course there is a lot of energy on the sun, but under normal circumstances, 7000 degrees is about the same, and the temperature is slightly higher, 10,000 degrees is also fine. But when the temperature rises to 2 million degrees in an instant, there must be an additional and special channel to provide energy, and it is not a small number. "
After hearing this, Zhou Xueyao couldn't help asking: "Is there a naturally formed electromagnetic slingshot on the sun?"
"no."
Zhou Xueyao: ...
"It's an electromagnetic torsion spring!" Lin Yinghao has already entered the straight man's working state, "During the study of the solar prominence, we found that the sun's surface is a plasma layer, coupled with the sun's rotation, resulting in distorted magnetic fields on the sun's surface.
These magnetic fields will be twisted and knotted during the sun's rotation, and finally form a magnetic field vortex, whose length can spread more than half of the sun's surface, and a large amount of energy and plasma are stored in it.
As the sun continues to rotate, these magnetic forces will continue to twist and twist, accumulating energy. They are constantly tensioned like torsion springs.
Until, the moment of collapse.
At that moment, these electromagnetic torsion springs will break, and the energy and plasma stored for a long time will burst out suddenly, taking away the energy on the surface of the sun.
Therefore, it creates sunspots on the surface of the sun, and prominences erupt above the sunspots.
Because these electromagnetic torsion springs can spread half of the surface of the sun, with a length of up to two to three million kilometers, and the energy of the instant burst is enough to melt the entire Tianyuan star!
This is a naturally occurring electromagnetic torsion spring. However, the process of its final eruption is of a collapsed nature.
What we want to study is a kind of controllable electromagnetic torsion spring, and its explosion process should be controllable. As expected, it is like a bowstring, which can provide powerful kinetic energy to the weapon.
Therefore, we named this research 'Electromagnetic Slingshot'! "
Zhang Hao couldn't help nodding his head. This kind of technical research has really blazed its own path, and it has surpassed the Xuanhuang civilization in this respect—theoretically. But Zhang Hao is more concerned, what is the result now?
"Although the results are not big, the results are gratifying!" Lin Yinghao smiled, "We have used high-voltage electricity and super-strong magnetic fields to create the first electromagnetic torsion spring in a laboratory environment. At least we have reached the threshold .
It is expected that in one year at the latest, I will have the confidence to come up with phased research results! "
"How long is the electromagnetic torsion spring in the laboratory at present?"
'...5.8mm...'
Zhang Hao's footsteps also paused slightly, and the expectant smile on his face was a little stiff. However, Mr. Zhang quickly adjusted his posture and encouraged him with a smile on his face: "Yes, a good start is half the battle. I believe that everyone will be able to create miracles in a short time!"
"Definitely!" Lin Yinghao's face was full of confidence. This is not blindness, but a belief accumulated over the past few years.
Zhang Hao observed the various types of test rail weapons on the scene, and then asked about the field energy research.
Electromagnetic slingshot technology is obviously also a part of field energy. However, Zhang Hao actually wanted to inquire about technology to prevent harmful cosmic ray radiation.
However, Mr. Zhang wants to know more about the overall situation of current field energy technology research and what research results have been achieved.
Hearing Zhang Hao's question, Lin Yinghao's face suddenly showed a little complacency: "At present, field energy research, in addition to the electromagnetic field and railgun technology, and electromagnetic pulse, has another technological achievement. We call it , high power microwave!"
"High-power microwave?" Zhang Hao frowned slightly, feeling a little familiar, "Heating objects?"
"Ha..." Lin Yinghao was a little surprised, "As expected of Mr. Zhang, he can guess the effect of the technology by the name! I wanted to give Mr. Zhang a surprise."
"Tell me." Zhang Hao was very calm on the surface, but he became more and more sure in his heart, microwave heating... What a familiar name. It is a bit difficult to use microwave heating for weapon technology.
