Chapter 174

Chapter 174
Look at the strong white man carrying two large batteries.

Lu Yuan felt as if he had seen a glass electric ball in a small handicraft store...

That's right, it's the kind where you reach out and touch it, and there will be lightning in the sphere, and your hair will stand on end.

It's just that these two current bottles are not that kind of toys, they contain huge energy.

This can be known from the cable linking the electromagnetic gun extending from the two current bottles.

All of a sudden, Lu Yuan figured out why this group of people caught so many zombies to generate electricity here.

It should be charging this thing...

You must know that the Zumwalt has been manufactured for some years. When it was originally designed, it was said to be a technical reserve for the next generation of destroyers.

At that time, the Eagle Kingdom Navy was full of confidence in this sci-fi warship.

I think it will become the main battleship of the next generation. For nothing else, just say that the two 120-caliber electromagnetic guns on this ship are terrible!
This electromagnetic gun can be said to be an epoch-making weapon. Compared with other products of the same era, this thing can definitely be regarded as a science fiction-level weapon.

You must know that most of his other naval guns of the same era still use traditional artillery.

The principle is to convert the chemical energy of the gunpowder into the kinetic energy of the warhead and launch the warhead.

Then the warhead is used to hit the enemy ship, trigger the fuse and then the gunpowder inside the warhead explodes, destroying the enemy ship.

But this electromagnetic gun is another matter entirely.

To put it bluntly, this thing is to wind a circle of electromagnetic coils on the barrel, and then energize it to create a magnetic field when firing.

Utilize the characteristics of electromagnetic conversion to provide a driving force for the metal slug.

Throw the metal slug out.

The principle seems simple, but in terms of power, it's huge.

In the past, the traditional artillery shells could only hit more than ten nautical miles at the farthest.

But the shells of this electromagnetic gun can hit seventy or eighty nautical miles at every turn.

If you are using force, such as using some extended-range shells, it will not be a problem to hit more than 100 nautical miles.

If the caliber is larger and the driving motor is larger, it will be a piece of cake to travel three to five hundred nautical miles.

The range of this special code is already comparable to that of a missile!

But how much does the missile cost?
It starts at $[-] at every turn!

But how much is a shell?
That is to say, a thousand yuan is enough to support it, which gives this gun a good price-performance ratio.

This is also the main reason why the Eagle Kingdom Navy paid a lot of money to develop this gun.

And this thing has another feature, that is, the life of the barrel is particularly long.

You must know that the life of traditional naval naval guns is very limited.

Generally, in the case of rapid fire in one minute, with the current technological strength, it is not a big problem to be able to fire three or five shells in one minute.

But the life of the barrel is only [-] rounds.

In other words, if you persist for about an hour, the barrel will basically be useless.

This is mainly related to the use of the propellant of the shell, which is very corrosive, and the tail flame when the shell is fired will also seriously damage the barrel.

So no matter how good your casting skills are, the barrel will last for a medium-intensity battle and will have to be replaced.

But this electromagnetic gun is different.

Not only does it have a long range, but because of the principle of physical launch, it will not be smoked by the tail flame of the shell, nor will it be chemically corroded by the propellant of the shell.

So the life is very long, and the rate of fire is faster.

Some people have done statistics, if the electromagnetic gun is fully fired, the effect is like a machine gun.

Hundreds of artillery shells can be fired in 10 minutes, which is equivalent to the amount of ammunition thrown by an artillery battalion.

One cannon is equivalent to one battalion, this...

But as the saying goes, Xiao He succeeds and Xiao He loses.

The reason why Zumwalt was so famous when he was born was because of this powerful electromagnetic gun.

Moreover, the rich and powerful Eagle Army even installed two doors on the ship in one go.

But it was precisely because of these two guns that Zumwalt's expansion plan was finally aborted.

Because the Eagle Army discovered that the two sets of gas turbines used on their ship were not enough to consume the energy of the two cannons.

Once the electromagnetic gun starts to use, the whole ship will stop, because all the power is used by the gun...

It turns out that this electromagnetic gun has a disadvantage in using it, that is, it works very well.

But the Eagle Army thought it over and over, and it was impossible to install a nuclear power unit on this destroyer to drive it?
In that case, the cost will go up, and the design of the warship will have to be redesigned from scratch, and all of them will be completely changed, so the cost will go up.

If you say that this gun is installed on a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, then it is unnecessary.

Because it is enough to have aircraft on the aircraft carrier.

In this way, the cannon becomes useless.

Later, Zumwalt gradually fell out of favor.

And the reason why the ship stopped here before is probably because of a problem with the power system.

No wonder they were beaten up by Mao Xiong's five gunboats before, but none of the gunboats participated in the battle.

But now it’s interesting to see this guy being criticized...

Although his battery can drive the electromagnetic gun in front, it can obviously only drive one, and it is very difficult.

Because this guy wanted to aim at Lu Yuan at this time, but the speed of the muzzle rotation was obviously not as fast as normal.

It was obviously impossible to keep up with the extremely fast Lu Yuan.

And after Lu Yuan spun in the air for a while, he finally found the opponent's life gate.

The foreheads of the strong men on the deck were already sweating, and Lu Yuan, who was flying in the sky, was like an annoying fly, flying in the air non-stop.

He couldn't even aim at this guy, but suddenly the guy was hovering in the air.

Good guy, you are finally bored!
A sinister smile appeared on the strong man's face, while he shook the joystick in his hand.

The electromagnetic gun in front took one second this time to lock onto Lu Yuan in the air ahead.

"Suffer to death!"

The big man viciously pushed the launch button.

But what surprised him was that the electromagnetic gun did not go off.

what happened?

The burly man turned his head to look, and couldn't help but feel jealous.

It turned out that two iron hands appeared behind him at some point.

And these two iron hands actually tore off the cable connecting the battery and the electromagnetic gun...

Nima...

The strong man's face was full of horror, but when he turned around, he saw Lu Yuan in the air, having already taken out a Gatling gun.

"WTF!"

The strong man only had time to utter the last sentence when he saw a chain of fire falling from the sky.

Then his body trembled wildly, blood sprayed all over his body, and he was beaten into a rag doll on the spot...

Lu Yuan released the trigger of the M134 and let out a long sigh of relief.

The crisis was finally resolved. Although Pyro and the polar bear ran away, they finally took the ship...
