In the warehouse of Camp No. 27, a gun barrel about seven or eight meters long is connected to a turret covering an area of more than ten square meters. The middle section of the gun barrel is connected with a hydraulic triangle bracket.
Except at first glance, the cannon seemed to have grown no longer except for its long barrel, but this was not the case.
This long and narrow gun barrel will not fire any physical projectiles, but will instead be a plasma with a central temperature of tens of millions of degrees that is magnetically constrained.
After the plasma bound by the magnetic field hits the target, it will rely on its own thermal energy to melt through the target's metal armor, and at the same time release the electrical energy condensed in the plasma instantly, destroying soft targets and electronic devices in the armor unit.
In short, this is a large plasma cannon.
It has similarities with the Prowler's Type 52 particle cannon, but there are many differences in details.
However, whether it is a particle cannon or a plasma cannon, it can be regarded as a well-deserved tank killer in both medium and close range!
Speaking of which, this large plasma cannon can be completed thanks to Lin Chiling's research on antimatter technology.
The magnetic restraint device used to encase antimatter can also be used to encase plasma.
The researchers at Camp No. 27 made further derivatives based on Lin Chiling's research results, solving the problem of delay after the magnetic constrainer is released from the device.
If this problem is solved, the magnetic restraint body wrapped in high-temperature plasma can be shot out as a projectile!
After explaining the technical connotation to Jiang Chen, the researchers at Camp No. 27 immediately entered the weapon testing stage under Jiang Chen's order.
Several staff members loaded the tower onto the truck and checked it into the shooting range.
As Zou Rong, the head of the research project, came to the shooting range, Jiang Chen stood behind a bulletproof glass.
Jiang Chen took a lot of eyes on the turret in the shooting range, reached out to knock on the bulletproof glass, and asked Zou Rong casually.
Why use ink-colored glass?
The projectiles fired by the shells will be quite dazzling, and the use of ink-colored glass is mainly to protect your eyes.Zou Rong explained to Jiang Chen with a smile.
Weapon testing begins!
After receiving the order, a NAC soldier stepped forward, connected the wire behind the turret to the tablet terminal, and skillfully set the shooting parameters.
On the other side of the shooting range, an A-shaped steel plate with a thickness of 200 mm rose on the open space about 800 meters away from the turret.
At Zou Rong's order, the soldier standing ten meters behind the turret immediately pressed the shooting button.
Accompanied by a flash of dazzling white light, the plasma cannon suddenly ejected the energy projectile bound by the magnetic field.
Even in the daytime, the bright white plasma is still so dazzling that it is hard to see directly.
The energy projectiles come into contact with steel, and there is almost no impact.
Free from the constraints of the magnetic field, the restricted high-temperature plasma surged out of the narrow space like a horse that had escaped from the narrow space, melting through the steel with almost no suspense!
The blue arc flashed behind the armor, spreading like a spider web, and penetrated into the ground in an instant...
Standing behind the ink-colored glass and witnessing this amazing scene, Jiang Chen opened his eyes slightly widened, and the expression on his face gradually changed from shock to excitement.
Seeing the expression on the marshal's face, Zou Rong proudly curled the corners of his mouth and said proudly.
In the atmosphere, this plasma projectile maintains a stable state for a short time, so the maximum range of this plasma cannon, tentatively named RK-1, is only 800 meters.But the power is as you can see, and the damage to armored units is quite amazing.As long as you are hit, let alone the Prowler, even the destroyer of Pan-Asia cooperation will have to be scalded out.
After firing the cannon after approaching 800 meters, as long as you hit the car, you can turn the almost impeccable Prowler into a pile of scrap iron.
It may be a bit difficult to get close to 800 meters on the plain, but in urban terrain, the combat distance of 800 meters is almost the norm.
Previously, Jiang Chen was skeptical about the statement that the technology would change the direction of war. However, when he saw the RK-1 plasma cannon projectile melting through 200mm steel armor without any suspense, he was unswervingly convinced of this at this moment.
What is the cost of producing such a plasma gun?Jiang Chen looked at Zou Rong and asked.
Under the same production scale, the production cost of this RK-1 is about three times that of the Type 50 electromagnetic gun.
Jiang Chen nodded. This cost is within the acceptable range of NAC.
Generally speaking, cost is also positively correlated with production difficulty.
He may not care about how much money and materials it costs, but if he wants the Second Division to install this weapon in this war, he must complete the production work in the shortest time.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen immediately found Wang Qing and ordered her to start organizing the production of RK-1 weapons.
At present, the industrial level of the Sixth Block has begun to take shape. The more critical parts such as high-energy capacitors, electromagnetic generation devices, particle acceleration tracks, etc. can all be outsourced to private factories by placing an order.
In order to be able to carry this RK-1 plasma gun, the engineers at Camp No. 27 also modified the body of the Tiger Hunting II to a certain extent.
While weakening the armor thickness and increasing the engine output power, the turret was redesigned.
Due to the difficulty of accelerating particles, the RK-1's gun barrel is designed very long.
If the original turret design is based on the original turret, the barrel will exceed the body several meters, and the center of gravity of the entire tank will be moved to the front.
The engineers at Camp No. 27 boldly canceled the turret design directly, or sank the entire turret into the carriage, designing it into the shape of a turretless tank destroyer.
This design is obviously not in line with historical trends, but it is the most suitable design for the current situation facing the Second Division.
Anyway, there is only one chance to fire the gun. If you miss a single shot, you will basically not have the chance to fire the second shot.
The particle cannon on the opposite side is the same for tanks without energy shields, so it is not much different from whether it has a turret or not.
This retro-shaped tank is named Longbowman I, and 120 vehicles are planned to be produced. It is expected to be sent to Wuhan City in 10 days to replace the Tiger Hunter II, which is ineffective in the face of the Prowler.
However, in the eyes of most people, this plan is undoubtedly a bit whimsical, such as the Zhao Group, which contracted 70% of the production tasks of the plan.
Although he coveted the proceeds from the orders of these hundreds of tanks, Zhao Chenwu knew very well that this was almost an impossible task.Not all problems can be solved with money in this wasteland.
On the way to leave the Fishbone Base Community Center, Zhao Chenwu followed Jiang Chen, complaining to him about the difficulty, and trying to convince the marshal who was very happy to win the credit for reducing the number of orders.
We simply don't have that many resources.If we want to complete all orders like this, we need tens of thousands of tons of steel and aluminum, countless chromium, nickel, and other rare earth metals.Even if we buy the entire sixth block market, we can't make it up.
Squeak!
Without any explanation, Jiang Chen pushed open the door to the warehouse of the fish bone base.Incandescent lights on the ceiling light up one after another, illuminating the entire warehouse space.
Before he finished speaking, he choked in his throat, and Zhao Chenwu looked at the warehouse in a daze.
Piles of ore piled up into hills in the warehouse, and the reflected lights blinded his eyes.
At this moment, he could no longer think about where these ores came from. He just wanted to pinch his arm and confirm whether he was dreaming...
Turning around, Jiang Chen looked at Zhao Chenwu, who was confused and shrugged.
You may need some trucks.
