Chapter 83
Everyone quickly inspected the electromagnetic railgun carefully. After no problems were found, they began to prepare for the test.

After all the work is almost ready, the electromagnetic rail gun is powered on and started to warm up.

Before the electromagnetic gun starts its official test firing, several empty cannon test firings will be carried out. After it is determined that the electromagnetic gun is absolutely useless, it can be fired with live ammunition.

The distances of this test were fifty kilometers, one hundred kilometers, two hundred kilometers, three hundred kilometers and the maximum range of this artillery.

At these distances, there are special test ships of the Ming Navy to test the landing point of the shells and the power of the artillery during the test firing.

Even in order to test the power of the artillery, several scrapped merchant ships were prepared at the first and second test ranges as target ships.

The range of the electromagnetic railgun is very long, so it is necessary to report to the Ming military in advance for each test firing, so that the military can close the test firing area in advance.To avoid accidents, after all, the power of the electromagnetic railgun is not comparable to that of ordinary artillery.

Don't say it's an ordinary merchant ship, even an aircraft carrier can't stand being hit by a single shot, and it will be scrapped if it doesn't sink. Therefore, it is absolutely forbidden to have any ships navigating in the shooting area. You must know that the projectiles used in the test are the largest [-]mm caliber Yes, although there are no explosives inside, the power of the electromagnetic gun is not comparable to ordinary artillery.

The warm-up work was soon over, and with his order, the test firing of the electromagnetic railgun officially began.

The first thing to start was the air gun test firing.The moment the operator of the electromagnetic railgun pressed the firing button, the entire guide rail of the electromagnetic railgun instantly glowed with blue light, and then a gust of ion wind blew around.

These things happened in an instant. It is conceivable how amazing the energy used by the electromagnetic railgun is in an instant. Even the gold battery produced by Zhu Lei's factory can only support more than 20 rounds of the electromagnetic railgun. That's all.

After a few empty cannon test firings without any problems, live ammunition tests began.

The first is a fifty-kilometer live-fire shooting. Before shooting, contact the military survey ship in the target area to check if there are any ships moving in the target waters. After confirming that there are absolutely no ships in the target waters, the live-fire shooting can begin. .

As the command to fire was issued, the guide rail of the electromagnetic railgun instantly turned blue, and the projectile in the middle of the guide rail was also ejected.

When the electromagnetic railgun fires shells, it does not have the same loud noise and thick smoke as traditional artillery.

When the projectile was fired, the guide rail of the electromagnetic rail gun turned blue, followed by a burst of air-breaking sound produced by objects flying at high speed, and then the gun ** of the electromagnetic rail gun was seen coming out. There was a red light, and there was no movement after that.

Because at this time, the projectile fired by the electromagnetic railgun is already tens of kilometers away.In less than ten seconds, the shared video data set by the military came from the huge display screen next to the test field.

Everyone turned to look at the display screen, and saw that on the calm sea, a red light suddenly appeared in the sky, and then, as if being hit by a meteorite, waves of dozens of meters high were set off on the sea. wave.

This time the shooting at fifty kilometers was perfect, and the next step was to shoot at the target ship fifty kilometers away.

After the military reported the direction and location of the target ship, after computer calculations, the electromagnetic railgun fired again.

In fact, Zhu Lei and the others did not know the specific location of the target ship before. They could only calculate the data after waiting for the notification from the military. Then the computer adjusted the angle and direction of the electromagnetic railgun, and then the computer would launch the projectile by itself.

The picture of this trip is similar to the previous picture, except that there is an extra ship on the cloudless sea. This is an ordinary scrapped merchant ship of nearly [-] tons. At this time, it looks rusty from a distance. Like a ghost ship, it stops quietly on the sea.

At this moment, a red light flashed in the sky, and then the rusty merchant ship seemed to be hammered hard by an invisible giant hammer.

The whole ship quickly backed up, and then when everyone was confused and there was no movement, the ship quickly exploded, then quickly disintegrated like a goddess scattering flowers, and quickly sank into the sea. The whole process In less than a minute, a ship of nearly 1 tons disappeared on the sea.

After watching the pictures shared by the Navy in the video, the people present were speechless for a long time. Although they have shot many times before, they have never shot at physical targets. There will be such destructive power. Although the specific data has been obtained in the previous data, it is only literal data, far from the shock of the real picture.

In just a few dozen seconds, a giant ship of nearly [-] tons disappeared from everyone's eyes.

"It's really shocking. I only saw the power of the electromagnetic railgun in data before, but now I'm speechless when I see the real scene." Mr. Li was the first to speak after watching the video for a while.

"That's right! This is not the maximum power of the electromagnetic railgun, and it's still less than half of the power!" Mr. Zhang also said.

"Yes! I really want to see what kind of destructive power it will produce when it is designed at full power." At this time, the butler also said.

Everyone talked about the shock in their hearts.

After a while, everyone finally calmed down, and began to prepare for the [-]-kilometer shooting test.

The shooting this time was also very good. Although there was a deviation when the first shot was fired at the real thing, it only hit the tail of the target ship and directly destroyed a section of the tail. It did not directly sink the target ship. ship.

Originally, they wanted to attack again and completely sink the target ship, but the military sent information, but their attempt failed. For the military, a ship that is not sunk is much more useful than a ship that is sunk by one section. , so that more quantities can be obtained and more intuitive data can be obtained on the damage caused by the electromagnetic railgun.

The subsequent tests went very smoothly. The electromagnetic railgun's shooting was very accurate, and the target ship parked in the target area was eliminated with one shot.

Especially the last shooting at a physical target shocked everyone the most, and this time the target was no longer a merchant ship. This time the target was an old cruiser built before World War II, with a displacement of more than 1 tons. , the things on it are still very complete. Although it is very rusty, its thick armor is not comparable to that of a merchant ship.

Even cruisers before World War II.It can't change the fact that they are warships, and their defense and anti-strike capabilities are very outstanding.

But such a cruiser with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons couldn't withstand a single shot from the electromagnetic railgun. Although it didn't sink at the time of the shot, it just continued to struggle at sea for half an hour.

In the end, it sank into the sea.
