"We actually rely on the principle of Tesla coils. As long as the emitted energy beam becomes controllable, there is no problem. In terms of materials, we must also speed up the research progress. We do not need it in a short period of time, but we cannot speed up the progress because we are not urgently needed, right?" Liu Yijiu felt that if the principle of Tesla coils is combined with the current laser cannon principle, they can solve the problems they are currently facing.

In terms of materials, this is an important factor limiting the development of all science and technology.

Every time a new material appears in the earth, the development of science and technology will make leaps and bounds. The emergence of graphene has solved many of China's technologies, especially the rapid development of the electronics industry, which is inseparable from this.

Without round crystal silicon, graphene and molybdenum-based chips with better performance are directly used. Of course, this is for military purposes.

The cost of using this kind of civilian use is too high, not to mention that it is easy to cause technical leakage.

From the very beginning, the Ninth Institute has put a lot of effort into materials. Not only has the largest unit in the base material research, but it is also collaborating with domestic materials research institutes and top universities.

Even so, China cannot keep up with the development of technology in terms of materials.

Liu Yijiu of this era has learned materials, but the problem is that he has not learned too much before, right? He clearly knows the production method, but cannot produce a lot of materials.

At that time, the Tiangong International Space Station was found in China, and this space station began to develop in the 1920s and has been built for almost half a century. The huge space station can carry out small-scale smelting of some special materials.

Even if the materials made from space are completely consistent with the chemical composition on the earth, the high-quality ones are not just the same order of magnitude and cannot be compared.

The titanium alloy most needed by the aviation industry and the high-temperature alloy most needed by the aviation engine, even special aluminum alloys, are incomparable under the production of earth conditions.

It is not realistic to build a space station into a smelting base, but the construction of the moon base also began at that time.

You can't wait until you have the ability to do space production before continuing to study, right?

"We have been researching continuously, and now we can only find other ways to make breakthroughs." Wang Qi understood what Liu Yijiu meant.

The oldest group of scientific researchers are already old, and the newly trained group has not been able to undertake these projects in less than ten years since the beginning.

"Communicate more with people from other projects." Liu Yijiu had no choice.

While waiting for Yu Ping's team to arrive, Liu Yijiu also devoted her energy to the research of laser weapons.

There is no way for many materials, but the principle of laser cannon is to study it based on the direction he proposed. Even if he cannot quickly make it out and put forward some suggestions, it will allow researchers who cannot find the direction to have a new direction.

A technological breakthrough requires constant experimentation.

Liu Yijiu has also invested a lot of energy in the electromagnetic rail gun.

This thing has a different principle from a laser cannon, but it is not much simpler than a laser cannon.

As the name suggests, an electromagnetic rail gun is used to continuously accelerate the shells that pass through the magnetic field through the magnetic field, so that the shells can obtain a higher initial speed than the instantaneous kinetic energy generated by conventional artillery when the launching drug explodes.

This is a kinetic energy killing weapon, which does not rely on the kinetic energy generated when the shell explodes and bounces the shrapnel back for damage.

"Electromagnetic rail guns and laser weapons are indispensable. Although it seems that these two weapons have been used early, we cannot slow down the research. Laser weapons use high-density energy burns to damage the enemy's weapons and equipment, and make the opponent's weapon system invalid. Our electromagnetic rail guns use kinetic energy..." When Liu Yijiu convened people from two projects for discussion, Wang Qi and others proposed whether to give up the research on rail guns first, or slow down the progress, and draw power to the research on laser guns, which got Liu Yijiu's answer.

"This is like the game that many young people in our base are playing. Lasers are energy weapons and are spell damage. When they encounter the opponent's energy to neutralize damage, or have external armor that can defend against energy weapons, how can we solve it? At this time, we need to use a rail cannon that kills kinetic energy and causes physical damage. Unless our enemies not only have very powerful physical defense, but also energy defense..."

In theoretical research, we must be ahead.

Both sides have studied it separately, and they lack understanding of the future use of these weapons.

Liu Yijiu is very clear about this situation, just as he understands that some materials cannot be produced, he knows the future development trend, and even countries are using it on a large scale, but now we can't tell everyone that if you work hard, the battlefield in the future will have to rely on these weapons.

Conventional ammunition and even extremely expensive missiles will be eliminated.

Standing at the height of history, sometimes it is also a very painful thing.

"Our research on this aspect does not have enough theoretical support. At the same time, if we want to have a longer range, reach thousands of kilometers, according to the current situation, based on the model we built with supercomputers, the energy and equipment needed are even larger than our warships..." Ma Mingwei, who is responsible for the research on electromagnetic weapons, said seriously. "Even the accuracy of the electromagnetic railgun is uncontrollable. Is it really necessary to study this?"

"How can it not be?" Liu Yijiu knew that these experts were a little confused about the future.

According to the existing technical conditions, if they want to achieve their goal, they push twenty kilograms of shells hundreds of kilometers away, the electromagnetic railguns they manufacture will cost billions of dollars.

Using the coil cannon model, it cannot meet the requirements.

After all, from the very beginning, the Ninth Academy studied electromagnetic cannons, not just coil cannons, or rail cannons, nor are they re-engagement cannons with more technical difficulty.

In order to stand at a higher level from the beginning, Liu Yijiu was able to put it into practical application after researching it, he personally made a structural sketch. The electromagnetic rail gun they studied was a real electromagnetic rail gun. Overall, it is a reconnection gun that uses multi-stage electromagnetic continuous acceleration.

According to the model, the entire cannon is not much different from the ordinary cannon. Of course, this refers to the appearance structure.

In the main part of the cannon, there are various charging devices and shell supply mechanisms. There are multiple acceleration devices inside the barrel used to fire shells in front. Each acceleration device is connected by rails. The shells are constantly corrected in this track to avoid deviating from the center of the acceleration magnetic field of different levels in the barrel when accelerating inside the barrel.

The electromagnetic rail gun that combines the world's three different ways of studying electromagnetic tracks is much more difficult than the result of 1+1+1, not equal to 3, but equal to 9 or even more...

Just a model is already desperate.

This requires higher processing accuracy than the laser cannon, especially the subsequent assembly accuracy.

The number-level coil is installed inside the gun barrel, and the electromagnetic center generated by these coils is required to be on the same straight line. Even if it is a deviation of 0.01 mm, it will cause the shell to damage the internal coil at a high speed, resulting in the problem of explosion.

Even if the barrel will not be damaged, the shells here have already formed a deviation when they are launched. When they go out, the reference to the target is based on the acceleration of the center line of the barrel, which will form a great deviation.

The difference is a slight mistake, and it is extremely obvious in electromagnetic railguns.

Even worse than those cannons.

According to the calculations of the supercomputer, it is verified that if the deviation in the center exceeds 0.1 mm, and the range of 100 kilometers, a circumferential error of more than 2,000 meters will occur.

Such a result is absolutely unacceptable.

The range is longer and the deviation is greater.

With a range of thousands of miles, the deviation may be dozens of kilometers.

Electromagnetic rail guns are originally used to accurately strike the core parts of local equipment. In this case, even worse than the scuds transformed by Iraqis, what can they do if they spend billions of dollars to manufacture them?

It cannot be installed on the warship, and it is even more impossible to get a smaller car platform.

It's just constantly consuming funds.

"In fact, the difficulty is not as serious as we imagined. At least, in terms of energy storage, this can be merged with the laser weapon energy storage device and then undergo some transformations. As for the processing accuracy, this can only be gradually improved... In the early stage, we set the range at 10 kilometers. There is no need to set such a difficult goal from the beginning, right?" After understanding the details of the project, in order to cheer the researchers up, Liu Yijiu sighed in his heart.

"Any advanced technology cannot be researched soon. Everyone knows the future application prospects of this weapon. Moreover, we use it mainly in space to make space-based weapons, and build these two weapons into part of our strategic defense system in the future!" Liu Yijiu saw that he reduced the difficulty of the mission, but these researchers were still not very interested.

I have to say the purpose.

This way, everyone cheered up.
Chapter completed!
