Chapter 567 (2/2)
So I'm talking about the development of space weapons for the time being. You can talk about what you think! ”
”Boss, you are more realistic! With the strength of our company now, the electromagnetic railgun can really complete the research and development work in a short time. Our company's superconducting materials and strong magnetic materials can be used in nuclear fusion reactors. Of course, there is no problem using electromagnetic railguns!
Moreover, our company's battery technology can also support the use of weapons that consume a lot of electric energy. Especially, our company has mastered the nuclear fusion reactor technology. After we have developed a mobile nuclear fusion reactor, it will be no problem to install the electromagnetic orbital gun on our spaceship! ” Kong Yuxiao agreed with the plan.
”Yes, in a short period of time, we can initially develop this technology, and then we will further promote this technology. With the technology we have now, I estimate that our first generation electromagnetic railgun can exceed 20 times the speed of sound at most, and the launch speed is not much faster. It can be shortened to 15 seconds, even if it is very good!
But this kind of weapon can be used on earth, but it can't be used as a space weapon. 20 times the speed of sound is slower than the snail crawling for a large distance in space!
Therefore, it is not difficult for our company to research and develop technology. The difficult thing is how to improve the launch speed of electromagnetic railgun, so that it can reach the minimum speed of 0.1 times the speed of light. Only with this speed can we initially use it as a weapon on spacecraft.
If the speed is not good, on the one hand, we can't hit the other family if we are too far away. On the other hand, if we are slow, we will not be able to destroy the target even if we hit the target, so we still have a lot of work to do! ” Lei Tiantang said with emotion.
”Boss, let me talk about my point of view. Since our company wants to develop weapons that can be used in space, we can't walk on one leg!The electromagnetic railgun is indeed a big killer that can be used in the future, but it also has its limitations. As you said, its firing speed is its biggest short board. Before the absolute speed breakthrough, we can not rely on this weapon to use.
So I think we can't give up the research and development of other types of weapons. I think it's not impossible to use guided missiles as space weapons!
Manager Kong said that conventional missiles can't be used in space war. I agree, but we can't deny that all missiles can't be used in space war. At least, intelligent guided missiles can be used as a conventional weapon in our company's future spaceships!
I won't say anything else. Boss, you mentioned the space weapons in science fiction, so many kinds of bombs. What are the vehicles for launching them? You don't need missiles to launch them yet!
It's just that the speed requirement of missiles for launching such weapons is also very high. We can't put all these dangerous bombs into electromagnetic railguns to launch them out, can't we? I think most of the bombs can't be dropped in this way. It's too dangerous! ” Xiong Antai of the rocket lab said what he thought.
