Chapter 189 Report to the Executive Officer (12)
What is a Gauss rifle? It is actually a reduced version of the electromagnetic cannon.
Electromagnetic cannons are an advanced kinetic energy killing weapon made using electromagnetic emission technology. Unlike traditional cannons that act on gunpowder gas pressure on projectiles, electromagnetic cannons use the ampere force generated by electromagnetic fields in electromagnetic systems to accelerate metal shells to achieve the kinetic energy required to strike targets. Compared with traditional gunpowder-driven cannons, electromagnetic cannons can greatly increase the speed and range of projectiles.
It uses electromagnetic force to fire shells along the guide rail. It mainly consists of three parts: energy, accelerator, and switch. The energy usually uses a device that can store 10 to 100 megajoules of energy. The energy used in the current experiment includes battery packs, flux compression devices, and monopole generators, among which monopole generators are the most promising energy sources.
Accelerators are devices that convert electromagnetic energy into kinetic energy of shells and make shells reach high speed. They mainly include two categories: railgun accelerators powered by low-voltage DC monopole generators and coaxial synchronous accelerators with discrete or continuous coil structures. Switches are devices that connect energy and accelerators, which can introduce mega-amp current into the accelerator within a few milliseconds. One of them is composed of two copper rails and a slider that can slide in it.
The female knight asked, "Do you have any guesses about my murderous weapon?"
660 said, "I guess you must have put a lot of lines in your Gauss rifle. Most of these lines should be made of silver or even gold."
"How do you say this?"
"Because silver and gold are excellent conductors of electricity. This Gaussian rifle is a weapon of killing, but for users, it is a dependence on life. Since electricity is involved, it is inseparable from wires. Originally, copper and iron are good conductors, but the ratio to gold and silver is still a little worse. It increases the cost, but it increases its power and reliability, in my opinion, is worth it. But it is just a cost-effectiveness. There are obviously many iron wires and copper wires. However, the Gaussian rifle that uses these wires should be equipped with ordinary soldiers."
The Knight couldn't help but applaud: "Excellent, wonderful is really wonderful. But I still have a problem."
"What's the problem? Please ask." 660 said with a smile.
"You know so much, but you know so much, what is the use of you? Look at me, I don't understand the principles, but I can use them, and I can even repair them. I use them better than those who know the principles."
"Let me think about it." 660 said. Then more than ten seconds later, 660 said, "I should have understood what you mean. You are actually saying that it is already difficult to know the truth, why do we still need to know the reason?" Then he looked at the female knight with a tentative look. The female knight nodded.
"Because we can only use one to infer one, and know the reason, we can use one to infer one! If we want to predict the future, we must have the ability to learn from one another. On the surface, it is more difficult to know the reason than to know the reason. In fact, after knowing the reason, many can see through it at a glance, and there is no need to repeat the learning."
660 further deepened: "If we want to survive better, we must understand the world better. But this world is too complicated, and our brains cannot simulate the whole world, so we invented various disciplines to simplify the world. After simplifying, although there are errors, we can really deepen our understanding of the world. After we understand the world, in order to live a better life, we also need to transform the world. We need to make tools to transform the world, and the materials for making tools ultimately come from this world. So understanding this world is the basis for transforming the world. Our brains are so big, so what we need to understand is the essential knowledge. These essential knowledge is why."
The female knight smiled and said, "You are right, but you should have to admit that the simplified model cannot represent the real world after all, right?"
