Similarly, the power of the electromagnetic railgun on this battleship is much stronger, but the energy consumption of these electromagnetic railguns has also increased a lot. Originally, a 100 million-degree gold battery can make the main gun on this battleship fire. Dozens of times.
But now, if a 100 million-degree gold battery is used, then only the main gun of this battleship can fire less than ten shells!
But now the gold battery used on this battleship is the latest battery produced by Zhu Lei's factory, with a storage capacity of up to 500 million kWh, but even with such a high storage capacity, it is only enough for the battleship's single main gun to fully exert its power. Fire only twenty or thirty times!
It can be seen how amazing the power consumption of these electromagnetic railguns is. So far, the transmission power of the high-voltage line originally pulled by the military is not enough, so now he has added a few high-voltage wires to his fief. As time goes on, the development of the factory will be even bigger, and the power will not be enough. For now, the power has been equal to the consumption. If it continues, the power will still be insufficient.
So he is now trying to find a way with the researchers in the factory. It is definitely not possible to rely entirely on external power, and the moon’s helium 3 energy mining plan is one of them. Others, solar power stations and Wind power stations, although the power generation capacity of these power stations is not very large, it is better to have than to have nothing.
After all, the aerospace industry is no different than other countries. Even if other countries use traditional rockets to launch aerospace equipment, the energy consumption is very large. Not to mention, the plasma thrusters of the Ming Empire are all propelled by electricity, and they need to use at least a few hundred each time. Wandu's electricity, not to mention the production of various aerospace equipment in his factory, and the smelting of special metals all require electricity to support, and these industries consume huge amounts of energy, so the construction of these power stations is absolutely necessary.
Due to the existence of his factory, the entire province of Zhejiang has already started to experience a shortage of electricity. If this continues in the future, it will start to affect the electricity supply of the entire country, and even occupy the consumption of ordinary civilian electricity. .
He came to the side of the battleship, chatted with the staff who modified these battleships, and after a while, it was nine o'clock.
When it was nine o'clock, the battleship slowly slid into the sea amidst everyone's eyes and the sound of firecrackers.
When the battleship was successfully launched, some people in the venue cheered. After half a year of modification, the battleship was finally launched, and this is not an ordinary battleship. This is a real space battleship, although It is just modified from an ordinary surface battleship, but it is undeniable that this is a real space battleship.
The anti-gravity engine can send this behemoth, which has a displacement of nearly 8 tons, to an altitude of more than 3 meters, and the eight plasma thrusters at the rear of the battleship can completely send the battleship into space.
The successful modification of this battleship marked the beginning of a new era for the Ming Empire.This era can be called the Age of Interstellar Discovery or the Age of Planetary Systems.
Whether it's the large anti-gravity engine on the battleship or the large plasma thruster at the tail of the battleship, they are all the latest achievements of Zhu Lei's factory.
The anti-gravity engine on this battleship can push up to 10 tons of materials to an altitude of 3 meters, and 3 meters is the limit of the anti-gravity engine developed by the Ming Empire now!Of course, this is only temporary. As time goes by, the future anti-gravity engines will definitely be more certain and stronger!
The plasma thruster on the battleship is more than 100 times the propulsion force of the first plasma thruster, and these plasma thrusters are actually not very large.Of course, it is already very large compared to the previous plasma thrusters.
These plasma thrusters are 12 meters long and about 1.2 meters in diameter, and the thrust provided by a single plasma thruster is about 16000 tons.
Therefore, the propulsion force of these eight plasma thrusters has reached more than 12 tons, and it is already possible to push this battleship with a displacement of more than 8 tons out of the gravitational circle of the earth. Spacecraft, of course, this is only for now!And he believes that with the passage of time, the size and weight of spacecraft known to mankind will become larger and larger, and the technological content will become more and more advanced.
After everyone's cheers ended, Zhu Lei walked onto the super battleship along with the operators of the battleship. No!It should be said that he stepped onto this space battleship.
When he came to the deck, the first thing he saw was the special toughened glass above the deck of this battleship. Since this is a space battleship converted from a surface battleship, apart from the position of the turret of the electromagnetic railgun and various Except where the missile launcher is located, this kind of glass is used on the entire deck of the battleship and all the pedestrian passages to separate it from the outside world. Even in space, human beings can walk in these passages and decks without hindrance. activity above.
Because these special glasses are all specially made for future space battleships, this kind of glass can not only block various cosmic rays to protect humans on the deck from various cosmic rays, but also prevent the outside temperature from changing, as long as it does not If it exceeds plus one thousand degrees and minus two hundred degrees, the temperature on the other side of these glasses will never exceed 30 degrees.And the strength and hardness of these glasses have reached 90 levels!This has exceeded most special alloys, but of course there is still some gap compared with the special alloys produced by Zhu Lei's own factory!
When he came to a battleship's main gun, he found that the battleship's main gun and other large-caliber electromagnetic railguns were very different from the electromagnetic railguns used in the original test firing.
The most eye-catching thing is the track length of the electromagnetic railgun, that is, the length of the barrel is much longer than before. According to his visual inspection, the barrel of the current electromagnetic railgun is at least longer than the barrel of the original electromagnetic railgun. One-third of the length, followed by the caliber of the electromagnetic railgun has now also increased to 600 mm.
However, the turret of the electromagnetic railgun is much smaller than the original one, and the original triple-mounted artillery has also become a quadruple-mounted one, which looks a bit uncoordinated. It always feels like a small car carrying a cannon. There are no complicated mechanical parts and cannon reset devices in the turret of the rail gun, because these are not needed for the electromagnetic rail gun.
Moreover, these electromagnetic railguns are fully automatic, and do not need to be operated manually at all. Whether it is launching or loading, it is all done automatically.
