In a dry dock of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Docking Company, a giant is quietly stopping here.

When it comes to Newport News Shipbuilding and Docking Company, I believe many military fans will know this well-known name - Mei Guo's latest electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier was built here, and it is also the only shipyard in Mei Guo that can build and design nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, as well as fuel replacement and overhaul of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

Against this background, the behemoth parked in the dry dock naturally could not be a civilian ship such as a bulk cargo ship or an oil tanker, but a real nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

This aircraft carrier is the USS Reagan aircraft carrier that was not injured slightly before.

There was a hole in its deck, and the substructure was even more ruined. What was particularly difficult to deal with was that a helicopter was "welded" into the hangar. The last solution was to chop the wreckage of the helicopter and transport it out little by little from under the deck.

Fortunately, this is not considered a serious injury, and it is not particularly troublesome to repair it - after all, the main method of killing of electromagnetic guns is still penetrating, and the copper warhead is too soft. After breaking through the first deck, it basically turns into copper water, and the penetration force naturally decreases significantly.

For Mei Guo, which has strong industrial capabilities, such damage can be repaired soon, but strangely, the Reagan has been damaged for so long and has not started repairs so far. Instead, many researchers have gathered to measure various data up and down.

On the other side of the shipyard, many people gathered together to conduct a complete analysis of the collected data:

"…So far, it seems that the opponent's suspected electromagnetic weapon has an average damage ability, and it is difficult to sink large ships such as aircraft carriers."

A researcher's conclusions besides his own.

“…”

All the scientists with white hair present remained silent.

"Isn't this very good? At least we don't have to be so scared." A guy who looked like a naval officer seemed to sigh relieved, "What? Is there anything wrong with what I said? Why are you all looking at me like this?"

When the admiral said this, the scientists looked at him with a strange look, which made the general feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's nothing, it's just that it's not sure about the inference yet." A scientist comforted.

"..." The general nodded and stopped talking, for fear of attracting those mocking eyes again.

"Here I ask me how the image is being processed in Seattle." Another scientist turned around and whispered to his assistant.

"They have finished it, and the pictures have been sent to our email... Professor, wait." As he said, the assistant called out a few photos he had sent to a professional graphics processing company for processing-

——These signs are almost all Viking fighter jets! The most valued among them is a photo left behind when the Reagan was attacked.

This photo clearly shows a USS Reagan aircraft carrier whose trajectory has reached its end. However, although it has been processed by a professional company, the brightness of the ballistic has been reduced to the point where the details can be seen clearly... but the shell that broke through the aircraft carrier deck still seemed a little blurry.

But that's enough.

Several scientists gathered on the screen together and began to calculate the shape of the shell based on the outline of the shell.

Just as several scientists were silent on the photos on the computer screen, another document was soon placed in front of them - a spectrum analysis report.

"...copper..." After reading the report, the scientist who was reading the report carefully looked at the child, he found that his colleagues were staring at him, so he went out to see the report and let them read it by themselves.

"Why is copper?"

All the scientists seem puzzled.

Copper is indeed not a suitable raw material for armor-piercing bullets, because its material is too soft. Only rifles that kill people will use soft metals such as copper/lead. The main purpose is to use the deformation of the warhead to keep more kinetic energy in the target body.

The main users of modern armor-piercing bombs have become tanks. After the disappearance of battleships, large-caliber armor-piercing bombs have long been no longer developed. The armor-piercing bombs of tank guns are mainly tungsten-core armor-piercing bombs represented by the Zhonghua Family and the depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs of Meiguo.

Whether it is tungsten or depleted uranium, they are very hard substances themselves. Only with this hardness can the power of kinetic energy be exerted and the kinetic energy can be better converted into armor-piercing ability.

So when scientists discovered that the material of the shell was actually copper, it was a bit scared. If they changed to a stronger material, perhaps the Reagan aircraft carrier would be hit by the opposite end if it was fired.

"Maybe they... don't have other harder ammunition materials?" a scientist muttered to himself.

"No, it shouldn't be... I think it may also be because of the conductivity - copper is very suitable as an electromagnetic railgun shell. It is both soft and conductive and has good conductivity. It not only does not damage the track but also can increase the power usage rate."

Another scientist who had been close to him said this.

"It shouldn't be." An electromagnetic gun expert spoke, "We have detected a small amount of aluminum before, which means that the other party is using a bullet support mode, and the bullet support itself will melt itself to protect the track..."

"It's different, look at this."

The oldest expert stopped the debate in time and magnified the picture countless times, making people vaguely seem to see some strange mechanical structure...

“…Irregular structure…”

"To reduce resistance? No..."

"Why is there a piece missing here? It doesn't look like an armor-piercing bullet...what happened?"

“…”

After all the scientists started to discuss, the researchers were no longer able to interrupt, and they could only stand aside and wait to start.

"This... Why do I think it's very similar to 'Dumb'?" The navy general couldn't help but interrupt.

"Not to say..."

After he mentioned this, several scientists suddenly felt more and more like him.

The so-called Dam bullet first refers to bullets exposed with lead cores. Such bullets have weak penetration power but will expand and deform in the body, ultimately leading to greater lethality.

Later, other soft-headed bullets, hollow warheads, explosive warheads, etc. are often called "Dambombs" when they are spread in the media. Over time, various ammunitions specially designed for Vigo's body retention and deformation capabilities are collectively called "Dambombs".

According to the general's prompt, the scientists' assistants finally restored the appearance structure of the electromagnetic gun based on the shape of the shell in the photo...

"...This... doesn't seem to be used to deal with armored targets, right?" Looking at the appearance and structure of the shell, a scientist said with some uncertainty.

"Indeed, from the perspective of appearance and material, it should be used to deal with large biological targets..." Another scientist agreed.

"Biological target? Could it be a whale?" the general asked strangely.

"No... it should be a stronger creature with whales... maybe some kind of alien creature we haven't come into contact with yet."

When the scientist finished speaking, the entire scene fell into silence again.

In fact, this is an obvious truth - the development of war weapons is generally very targeted. For example, radar is generated to target aircraft, and stealth aircraft is developed to deal with radar.

Another very realistic example is the development of modern rifles. From the earliest "one shot and two eyes" large-power rifle bullets to the later transformation of powerful bullets in small calibers, it is very consistent with the principles of war development.

If we only talk about power, the power of modern small-caliber rifle ammunition is definitely not as powerful as the 6.5mm rifle bullets used in the "Three Eight Big Cover" during World War II. However, in terms of personnel killing effects, the killing effect of 5.56 on people is far greater than that of 6.5mm rifle bullets.

Therefore, the greater the power of a weapon, the better, but the best is "just right".

The weapons used by Viking fighters that have never fought with Earthlings cannot be specifically developed for Earth warships. Just as the air defense weapons on Earth have never been developed for flying tanks such as Viking fighters.

Just like a rifle, the damage effect of Earth's air defense weapons also pursues "just just can shoot down fighter jets", so this power does not pose any threat to Viking fighter jets at all.

However, the electromagnetic cannon shells designed for large-scale biological targets can still easily destroy the combat effectiveness of an aircraft carrier!

After finally understanding this, the experts remained silent, and the plans they had proposed before naturally ended in vain-

——Before this, military experts and scientists mentioned the problem of low power of air defense weapons. This problem is actually easy to solve. After upgrading methods such as increasing the loading volume and even increasing armor-breaking warheads, air defense missiles will definitely cause greater damage to the Viking fighter, and even shoot it down directly.

Unfortunately, this plan was extinguished by the latest discovery of the shipyard.

The manpower time required for the other party to transform the kinetic energy bullet warhead is definitely much more convenient than developing a new missile or modifying an existing missile. It can be said that neither side has any preparations for this confrontation, but the next time the confrontation... after replacing the kinetic energy bullet with stronger penetration, the Meiguo ships only have the possibility of being sunk under the electromagnetic gun.

Moreover, missiles and other things are simply not as fast as Viking fighter flight speed.

Such a huge pot of cold water also made the Meiguo military fully recognize the reality. The huge fleet that had been staying east of Japan also began to turn around and return...

...Because Mei Guo could not bear the loss of losing this fleet.

Over time, all kinds of ammunition specifically designed for Vigo's body retention and deformation ability have been collectively called "Dam bombs".

According to the general's prompt, the scientists' assistants finally restored the appearance structure of the electromagnetic gun based on the shape of the shell in the photo...
