<h4>Chapter 916: Maic Confinement and sma</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>_Min_ <strong>Editor: </strong>Rundi
In the warehouse of Camp 27, a seven-meter-long gun barrel was connected to a turret covering an area of ??more than ten square meters. The middle section of the gun barrel was connected with a hydraulic triangle bracket. With just one look, this cannon seemed to just be “long”, but it was not the case.
The narrow barrel did not emit any physical projectiles. Instead, it was firing maically confined sma particles with a core temperature of several tens of millions of degrees. After being hit by the maic field, the sma confined by the maic field relied on its own thermal energy to melt through the metal armor of the target, and at the same time release the electrical energy condensed in the sma instantaneously to destroy the soft targets and electronic devices in the armored units.
In short, it was arge sma gun. It was simr to the Type-52 Particle Cannon on the Wanderer tank, but there were many differences in details. However, whether it was the particle cannon or the sma cannon, both could be regarded as “tank killers” at close-to-medium range!
Speaking of which, therge-scale sma cannon waspleted with the effort of Lin Lin’s research on antimatter technology. Maic confinement devices used to encase antimatter could also be used to wrap sma. The researchers at Camp 27 used Lin Lin’s research results and made further derivation to solve the problem of dys after the maic restraint was disengaged from the device.
To solve this problem, it could shoot out the maic confinement wrapped with high-temperature sma as a projectile.
After the researchers at Camp 27 exined the technical elements to Jiang Chen, they immediately entered the weapon testing stage under the General’smand. Several staff members installed the cannon on a truck and moved into the shooting range.
With the project leader Zou Ronging to the shooting range, Jiang Chen stood behind a bulletproof ss.
Jiang Chen fixed on therge turret in the middle of the field, knocked on the bulletproof ss, and casually asked Zou Rong.
“Why tainted ss?”
“The bullets fired by the cannon can be blinding. The use of tainted ss is for the protection of your eyes,” Zou Rong exined with a smile.
“Weapon testingmence!]
After receiving the order, a NAC soldier stepped forward and connected the wires behind the turret to a tablet terminal. He skillfully set the firing parameters. On the other side of the shooting range, an Grade-A steel te with a thickness of 200 mm was raised on an open space of about 800 meters away from the turret.
Zou Rong ordered the soldier, who stood ten meters behind the turret, to immediately press the firing button.
With a sh of blinding white light, the sma cannon suddenly sprayed the energy projectile confined by the maic field. Even in daytime, the bright white sma was burning to a point where it was blinding to look at.
The energy projectile came in contact with the steel and there was hardly any explosion. Escaping from the constraints of the maic field, the high-temperature sma emerged from the tiny space, and melted through the steel with a thickness of nearly 200 mm!
A blue arc that scintited behind the armor as it spread like a spider web, and instantly prated the ground…
Standing behind the tainted ss and witnessing this shocking scene, Jiang Chen’s eyes widened and the expression on his face gradually changed from shock to excitement.
Observing the facial expression on the General’s face, Zou Rong proudly said.
“In the atmosphere, this sma projectile can only maintain a steady state for a very short time, so the maximum range of this sma cannon, tentatively named RK-1, is only 800 meters. However, the damage against armored units, as you can see, is astonishing. As long as the projectile hits, disregarding the Wanderer, even if it were a destroyer of the Pan-Asia Cooperation, it would be melted.”
With a range of 800-meter, as long as it hit the body of the armor, it could turn the almost invincible Wanderer into a pile of scrap iron. It may be difficult to approach the 800-meter distance on the in, but in the urban terrain, an 800-meter battle distance wasmon.
Prior to this, Jiang Chen was also skeptical about the “technology that will change the course of the war.” However, when he witness the RK-1 sma projectile prate the 200mm steel armor without any suspense, he firmly believed this point.
“How much is the cost of producing this sma cannon?” Jiang Chen asked Zou Rong.
“With the same production scale, the production cost of this RK-1 is about three times that of the Type-50 Electromaic Pulse Cannon.”
Jiang Chen nodded. The cost was within the eptable range of NAC. In general, costs and production difficulties were also positively corrted. He didn’t care how much money and materials he spent, but if he wanted the Second Army to list this weapon in the war, he mustplete production in the shortest possible time.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen immediately found Wang Qing and told her to start organizing the production of RK-1. At present, the industrial level of the Sixth Street has begun to take shape, and more critical high-energy capacitors, electromaic generating devices, particle eleration tracks and other parts could all be outsourced to private factories by cing orders.
In order to be able to carry the RK-1 sma cannon, the engineers at Camp 27 also made some modifications to the Tiger II body. The turret was redesigned while weakening the armor thickness and increasing engine output.
Due to the difficulty of elerating particles, the barrel of the RK-1 was designed to be very long. If ording to the original design of the turret, the barrel would be several meters beyond the body and the entire center of gravity of the tank would be moved to the front.
The engineers at Camp 27 boldly canceled the design of the turret and sank the entire turret into the carriage. They modified the vehicle into a turretless tank destroyer. This design obviously did not match the historical trend, but it was the design that best suited the Second Army..
There was only one chance to fire. If it missed, there was basically no chance of firing a second shot. If the enemy’s particle cannon fired, it made no difference in whether the vehicle was hit on the front armor or the side armor without energy shields, so having a turret did not impact the performance of the vehicle.
The vintage tank was named Longbow I, with 120 vehicles nned. It was estimated that within ten days, 20 vehicles could be sent to the frontline, recing the powerless Tiger II.
However, in the eyes of most people, this n was undoubtedly obscure, such as Zhao Group, which contracted 70% of the n’s production tasks.
Although coveting the profits of this order of over one hundred tanks, Zhao Chenwu was clear that this was almost an impossible task. On the wastnd, not all problems could be solved with “money”.
When leaving the Fishbone Base Community Center, Zhao Chenwu followed Jiang Chen and ranted to him about the difficulty of the task. He tried to persuade the “nonsensical” General to reduce the number of orders.
“We don’t have that much resources at all. If we want toplete all of these orders, we need tens of thousands of tons of steel and aluminum, countless amounts of chromium, nickel, and other rare earth metals. Even if we buy the entire Sixth Street market, we still can’t—”
Woosh!
Without any exnation, Jiang Chen pushed open the door of the Fishbone warehouse. Incandescent lights on the ceiling lit up and illuminated the entire space.
The words Zhao Chenwu hadn’t finish were stuck in his throat, he stared nkly at the warehouse.
Piles of ore piled up to form a small hill in the warehouse. The reflected lights almost blinded his eyes. At this very moment, he could not think about where the ore came from. He just wanted to pinch his own arm and confirm that he was not dreaming…
Turning around, Jiang Chen looked at Zhao Chenwu, who was dumbfounded, and shrugged.
“You may need some trucks.”
