Chapter 515 Battleship Armament

The laser energy cannon is different from the laser polymerization cannon. The laser energy cannon is a high-energy ion beam that is continuously accelerated and finally integrates a beam to launch an attack target from the muzzle. Its initial speed is much lower than the speed of light, while the laser polymer cannon fights at the speed of light, but its attack intensity is not comparable to that of the laser energy cannon.!.

In the space battle of advanced civilizations in the universe, the laser polymerization cannon has a fast attack speed and causes damage by continuous attack. Due to insufficient energy intensity, it has almost no effect on the armor of the warships, but it is an indispensable defensive weapon for warships and has a huge lethality against space fighters, mechas, ship missiles and assault landing crafts.

The destroyer, Elephant Kestows, was equipped with 60 laser polymerization cannons in front and back. In the space battle of the fifth-level civilization, this is a medium- and short-range ship that integrates offense and defense. Only when the close-range situation is absolutely controlled can it occasionally participate in long-range attacks.

The laser energy cannon and laser polymer cannon are two weapons, one near and one offensive and one defense, and are combined with the medium-range weapon electromagnetic rail gun or rapid-fire heavy machine cannon, which constitutes the main annihilation of enemy weapons in the outer shell of the warship, which is also the standard equipment for warships of various countries in the Milky Way.

The "solid core high-pressure engine" uses the energy generated by the "thermonuclear fusion" power furnace. Through a solid heat exchange device, hydrogen propellant is added to the high heat and then sprayed out at high speed from the nozzle.

Zhang Ziqiang saw that the output power unit of the power furnace is represented by a symbol similar to "g", which is the same as the gravity acceleration unit used by the earth. However, due to the differences in technology between countries, the maximum output power of the power furnace is also different. The maximum output power of the power furnace produced by the Arica Empire is 45g, and the destroyer produced by the Landibos is equipped with four sets of power furnaces, each set of power furnaces is 160g.

According to Kestows, when he was in the army, the power of the Randybos standard battleship power furnace was 300g. At that time, I heard that Randybos could produce 320g power furnaces, but I wonder if there have been any breakthroughs in recent years.

Solid high-pressure engines can generate extremely high thrust, which is more than fifty times stronger than the earth's rocket engine. Zhang Ziqiang's homemade jet engine cannot be compared with it at all. However, due to the problem of propellant, this type of engine has a low relative impulse, which means that it often needs to replenish propellant.

No matter what principle a warship engine is made of, it is nothing more than two important parameters, one is the maximum thrust n and the other is the comparison impulse. The maximum thrust of the engine determines the acceleration of the warship and the comparison impulse determines the endurance of the warship. If it is a state of war, the maximum thrust is much more important than the impact impulse.

Zhang Ziqiang learned that among the engines that Kestow knows, the specific impulse between the "ion slurry core engine" and the "particle beam core engine" is higher than that of the "solid core high-voltage engine", but his warships do not. It is not that the "ion slurry core engine" cannot be created in the base, but even the third-level civilized country, Arica, can also build these two engines.

Both engines spray high-speed particles outward, with extremely high impulse. The use of these two engines consumes very little propellant. Although the thrust generated is not large, in a weightless environment, these two engines can be accelerated slowly. As long as the time is longer, the speed can also be faster. These two engines are not suitable for warships. They are generally installed in transport ships and remote remote control scientific research ships. For example, the third and fourth-level civilizations use them to push scientific research ships to detect the starry sky environment near galaxies, and the aircraft can be accelerated to sub-light speed.

Some large ships also have these two engines at the same time, such as logistics ships, which use high-specific impulse engines during transportation and use high-thrust engines when supplying warships on the battlefield. However, it is only used in this way for special ships. Generally, only one main engine is used for warships.

There is something even more exaggerated about this warship, that is, the "micro-transition engine", which can enable the spacecraft to navigate at super-light speed in the star system. Unfortunately, this technology, like the "particle radar array" and the fifth-level "laser energy cannon", originated from the fifth-level civilization, belongs to military control technology, and the finished engine is also strictly controlled.

Not only did Kestow not only couldn't get the manufacturing technology of this kind of engine, but he couldn't even buy one more. Only his flagship came with one, which had broken over the years. There were no accessories to replace and no one could repair it.

There are many technologies in all aspects, such as the electrostatic paint of the shell of a warship. This paint can not only prevent radio radar scanning, but also the spiritual consciousness of Zhang Ziqiang and others. After several experiments, he found that this may be a coincidence and did not deliberately target spiritual consciousness. There are many paints used for the shell of a warship. Some can prevent spiritual consciousness scanning, but some cannot. Because most of the battleships of the Arica military are equipped with radio radars, the "Claw" pirate regiment has targeted the shell of a warship to facilitate robbery.

When a warship is sailing in space, its shell can also activate the ionizing magnetic field protection layer. The warship's cruise speed is very fast, and small meteorites in the universe can be seen everywhere, especially in the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt. Without the protection of the ionizing magnetic field layer, even a meteorite the size of a fist would be a tragedy! However, this ionizing magnetic field protection layer is completely useless for laser cannons full of pulsed energy particles.

There are more than 40 sets of space landing mechas in this flagship. However, after Zhang Ziqiang's personal gesture, he found that these mechas were of no use. They were nothing more than an ultra-large alloy shell, including cockpit, thruster, damping radar, light machine cannon, plasma gun, and only the high-frequency ion oscillation light knife can still be used to his eyes. As long as this knife is guaranteed to have sufficient energy, it can cut the shell of the warship!

The alloy shell material of the mecha is worse than that of the "treasure weapon" armor, and the strength of the laser energy weapon is not as strong as the true attack of the Jindan monk. It is so good that the propulsion of the mecha is good. If combined with his technology, his subordinates will have a stronger combat power in space in the future.

Forty space fighters made Zhang Ziqiang's eyes lit up. These space fighters can carry eight armor-piercing missiles against ships, four anti-tracking "bull traps", and a semi-automatic third-level laser cannon. They are not very destructive to the warship's armor, but they can kill enemy fighters in one shot.

This standard destroyer produced in the Landibos Empire also has a set of "intelligent brain". Zhang Ziqiang also obtained the highest authority in the system. Seeing that Kestow cooperated very well, his impression of him became better. He also saw Kestow introduce the entire warship to him with all his heart. He finally smiled and asked: "Kestow, can you produce warships on your own in the base now?"

"Sir, the base can produce warships, but their performance is far from that of the warships of the Bulantibos Empire, and are not much different from those of Arica's warships, but..."

Zhang Ziqiang glanced at Kestowsto, which scared him quickly explained: "Sir, the warship shell, main engine, and controllable thermonuclear fusion power furnace can be made, and its performance is higher than that of Arika. However, the particle radar array and laser energy gun are also controlled in the fifth-level civilization. Finished products can only be purchased through the black market, and radio radar can only be made in the base. The fleet scale has been slowly expanded over the years, because these two devices cannot be built by themselves."

"Well, that's right. Say whatever you want and don't be foolish." Zhang Ziqiang paused slightly and asked again: "How much difference is the performance of particle radar arrays and radio radars?"

"Thank you for your understanding." Seeing that he was not disappointed, Kestow felt a little relieved, he quickly replied: "These two types of radar technologies are too far apart. Particle radar arrays must be equipped with an intelligent brain to achieve all their performance. The radio radar response speed is slow, the scanning radius is short, and the scanning accuracy is low. It is not much different from the particle radar array within 120 kilometers. The accuracy outside the scanning radius is sharply reduced, and the anti-interference ability is weak. There are also many materials that can shield radio radar scanning, which is comparable to Arica's radar technology."

"Oh? Apart from this flagship, are all equipped with radio radars?"

"Sir, all warships are equipped with particle radar arrays. This is the small one that was exchanged for the pirate black market in the Landibos Empire. They are all second-hand equipment eliminated by the military. They are only controlled by the optical brain system, and their performance is only one-tenth of that of the flagship. What is missing now are laser energy cannons and intelligent brains, especially laser energy cannons. The prices in the black market are extremely high!"

Zhang Ziqiang frowned slightly and asked again: "What weapon is Arica's warship equipped with? Didn't they use laser energy cannons?"

"Sir, the laser cannon produced by Arica is only level 3, similar to Randybos's powerful single-soldier mecha laser cannon. We "Sharp Claws" take the high-quality route and are not equipped with level 3 laser cannons. Although there are only more than forty warships here, we can not be at a disadvantage even if we encounter a squadron of Arica!"

"Level 3 laser cannon? What is the power of the laser cannon in my car?"

"This..." Kestow was embarrassed and explained carefully: "Sir, the laser weapon you mentioned has not reached the standard of a first-level laser cannon, which is worse than a laser polymer cannon. Every time the laser cannon is increased by one level, the intensity of the attack energy is ten times more."

Zhang Ziqiang nodded. He didn't realize there was anything wrong. According to the standards of the Milky Way, the earth itself is a first-class civilization and may be able to produce laser weapons that meet the standard of first-class laser cannons. However, his laser generator is civilian equipment. Although Ananda later made military modifications, he did not learn the technology and his power was still not as powerful as that of Chinese military laser weapons.

"Can the base produce third-level laser guns?"

"Sir, the third-level laser cannon does not have much effect on us. There has been no research on this aspect in the base."

Zhang Ziqiang asked with interest: "Arika military warships are all equipped with third-level laser cannons. Why do you say that they are useless?"

"Sir, it takes too long for the third-level laser cannon to penetrate the armor of the ship. If the enemy ship evades, ten warships often need to fire at close range to simultaneously to tear open the shells of the enemy ships before the Arica military rescue fleet arrives. It is difficult to command more warships, and it is easy to directly beat the enemy ships and get no benefits."
