Hearing Lin Feng's words, Mike Joseph, the chief officer of the aircraft carrier fleet two hundred kilometers away, twitched his mouth.
Is this damn Lin Feng showing off? Is he showing off that Daxia can use such a super-electromagnetic gun to form a sea of shells in the future? !
However, although he knew that Lin Feng was just showing off, Mike Joseph felt like he was in an ice cave when he thought about the fact that this super-electromagnetic cannon with a minimum speed of 7 times the speed of sound and a maximum speed of 10 times the speed of sound was real.
Because if this is true, it would pose a huge threat to aircraft carriers.
After all, this is a super-electromagnetic gun with an astonishing caliber of 254 mm, a shell weight of 124 kg, and a maximum speed of 10 times the speed of sound.
If such a super-electromagnetic cannon really hits an aircraft carrier, it can definitely create a big hole in it with one shot, and it is even possible to directly penetrate the aircraft carrier.
The theoretical firing speed of such shells in the future can easily reach more than 120 rounds, which means that just one super-electromagnetic gun can form a sea of shells.
In this case, how many shells can their aircraft carriers and warships withstand?
Thinking of this, Mike Joseph hurriedly ordered:
"Except for the two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, all warships will retreat 50 kilometers immediately!"
"Yes."
After receiving the order, the subordinates immediately conveyed it, and then the fleet immediately headed rearward, as if there was some devil or monster ahead.
After the fleet's movements were observed by satellites, someone in a command room immediately laughed at Mike Joseph for being as cowardly as a mouse, and he was no longer as arrogant as before.
In this regard, people in the command room felt that it was inappropriate and impolite to publicly mock Mike Joseph.
But they were also very happy in their hearts, and were looking forward to the upcoming super-electromagnetic gun experiment even more.
I just hope that the super-electromagnetic gun developed by Lin Feng can be successful, otherwise it would be funny if it fails.
Of course, Lin Feng had no idea what was happening more than 200 kilometers away.
At this time, Lin Feng at the scene finally finished introducing the various parameters of the super-electromagnetic gun, and then looked at Colonel Hao Yang and said:
"Since everyone is looking forward to it, let's just shoot him for fun."
"it is good."
Colonel Hao Yang nodded slightly and immediately picked up the microphone to give orders.
Passersby and tourists at the scene and people on the Internet are becoming more and more nervous because the next test launch of the railgun is about to begin.
"The first test target is a scrapped target ship 50 kilometers away. Let's see how it works."
When Colonel Hao Yang finished his brief introduction, the huge super-electromagnetic cannon in front of them trembled slightly, and then the sharp sound of the flying shells irritated people's ears.
In fact, people couldn’t see what the shell looked like at all. They only saw a black shadow flash by, and the rest of them all covered their ears.
However, just because they can't see clearly doesn't mean that various sensors and slow ultra-HD cameras can't see clearly.
So after a while of feeling uncomfortable, the people at the scene took out their mobile phones to watch the video.
In this video, people can see that the shell is flying at a very fast speed.
Even with a slow camera that can move 10,000 times faster, it still feels difficult to capture the trajectory of the lens shell.
In this case, it only took 50 seconds from the launch of the shell to hitting the target 14.7 kilometers away.
A 300-meter-long hole appeared on the 1.5-ton target ship, and the metal shells did not stop and flew away again. At the same time, the aircraft carrier fleet, more than kilometers away, was in turmoil, and all the air defense alarms sounded.
Fortunately, the fleet was not at the very end of the experimental blockade range, but on both sides of the experimental blockade area, otherwise there would be a high probability that a battleship or aircraft carrier would be in trouble.
After all, although this test only blocked an area of up to 150 kilometers, in fact the maximum attack distance of the railgun is not just 150 kilometers, but 600 kilometers!
Fortunately, the earth is round, not flat.
When the distance between the two sides exceeds a certain period, the shells attacking in a straight line naturally cannot hit the ships "under the sea surface".
Of course, there is a way to solve this problem. Lin Feng also has ideas on how to solve this problem.
This idea is the guided artillery shell route!
That is to add guidance blades to the tail of the shells, so that the shells fired by the super-electromagnetic gun can turn slightly to pursue while improving the accuracy of the attack.
After all, although the speed of the railgun can reach 7 times or even 10 times the speed of sound, if the distance between the two sides is too far, the enemy may still be able to evade in advance.
For example, this time the super-electromagnetic gun is going to attack a target ship 50 kilometers away, and the flight time of the shell is exactly 14.7 seconds.
14.7 seconds is not a short time. If the ship is traveling fast enough, it can travel a long distance and avoid the attack of artillery shells.
Of course this is only in theory, because you can't face just one shell, nor can you face just one railgun.
There is no way to prevent others from predicting your movements through supercomputer simulations and striking you in advance.
So under saturation coverage fire, those who are destined to die will still die.
It’s just that if the shells fired by the super-electromagnetic gun could be guided as accurately as missiles, the hit rate of the shells would be increased.
That would reduce the waste of shells, increase the attack range in disguise, and achieve the same attack effect with fewer electromagnetic cannons.
In general, if the shells fired by the electromagnetic gun can really be guided, the benefits will be too numerous to mention, and it is also a technology that Lin Feng must develop.
Of course, it is still too far to talk about this, and people cannot think that far and know the current flaws of the first-generation railgun.
At this time, people were shocked when they saw the target ship being pierced by a shot in the video.
I think this railgun is so terrifying, there is absolutely nothing that can stop it.
Of course, the shocking scenes are not limited to this. The next test launch is the test launch of high-explosive artillery shells!
As Colonel Hao Yang gave the order to fire, a burst of piercing sound once again irritated people's ears.
However, with the experience of the first time, people performed better this time than last time and covered their ears with their hands in advance.
After that, the shell flight time was still 14.7 seconds, and the shell fired by the super-electromagnetic gun hit the target ship as expected.
I saw a huge fireball rising, and the target ship broke into pieces and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Because the total weight of this shell is as high as 124 kilograms, and it contains a large amount of high explosives.
If such an overweight shell is placed on flat ground, it is enough to flatten a small hill. At this time, it would be too easy to deal with a 300-ton target ship.
This naturally made the Chinese people very happy. The people at the scene applauded and praised the super-electromagnetic gun developed by Lin Feng. (End of this chapter)
