Chapter 158 Test Firing of the Giant Cannon

What is male romance?

Everyone has their own opinion about this.

But one thing is certain, that is, toys full of violent elements can stimulate the nerves of most male compatriots.

Guns, cannons, airplanes, tanks, extreme sports cars and motorcycles, etc.

Someone once said that the human male body is inherently full of violent factors.

Although suppressed by various educations and cultures, nature cannot be changed.

For example, when Wang Chen stood next to this 380 mm caliber pale golden cannon, the restlessness in his body was already very obvious.

After a whole summer of continuous assembly, Wang Chen finally completed all the assembly work of this electromagnetic gun on the day when all the mythical beasts across the country returned to school.

With the last three parts being stuffed into the cannon, the merger work officially ended.

In order to get this baby out as soon as possible, Wang Chen put aside everything in the past few months.

The superiors originally wanted Wang Chen to continue leading the artificial intelligence research team in August.

But Wang Chen still asked them to postpone the time.

My own research and development has entered the most critical period. At this point in time, you ask me to lead people? Isn’t that just shitting and completely disgusting?

After putting down everything, and even Jin Sanshi almost forgot that he still had a boss, the project finally entered the final stage.

Today, the weather is very good, cloudless and blue sea.

Du Gang and Captain Wu also arrived at Wang Chen's factory early.

Three days ago, Wang Chen had submitted a test-launch application to the higher authorities. After one day of review, the Navy would provide all assistance for this test.

Among them is a large cargo ship that was just purchased.

This is not comparable to the small fishing boat that was five or six meters long before, but a serious large cargo ship, about 130 meters in length.

Moreover, a large amount of armor has been thickened, and it is said that its protective power has reached the standard of a cruiser during World War II.

In other words, it is tougher than current aircraft carriers.

In addition to this maritime target, there is also a small uninhabited island in the sea about 800 kilometers away from the factory.

It's only half the size of a football field, and it's full of various stones.

It is a completely uninhabited state.

This will also be used as a land target to test the power of the ammunition.

Just this morning, the navy also blocked the nearby waters and emptied all fishing boats.

Captain Wu from No. 001 came to observe as a representative of the navy.

"Tsk, it looks like science fiction up close." No, Captain Wu was stroking the shell of the naval gun with both hands at this time, and the heat in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Wang Chen next to him felt a little goosebumps, shook his body and said with a smile, "This is actually not a complete version. According to the final design, this naval gun should be the same as during World War II, using a triple-mount design, capable of firing three projectiles at the same time.

"

Triple pack 380?

Captain Wu couldn't help but sigh.

Well, it turns out that my layout is too small and I am thinking of single-shot, and others have already turned their attention to joint installation.

But one thing to say is exciting enough!

How about a larger caliber? Just go for the 460-caliber triplex.

The Yamato back then was indeed a giant ship that was coveted by the whole world, regardless of nationality.

Although it was ended by the aircraft carrier era.

However, its powerful protective capabilities are still recognized by the majority of military fans.

After all, Yamato was already fighting alone at that time, and it seemed that he didn't even have a formation together.

And it was hit by 10 torpedoes and 24 bombs during the indiscriminate bombing by Eagle Sauce before losing its ability to move.

It’s true that I’m full of resistance to beatings.

Although there are no visible heavy battleships in the world today, it does not mean that such battleships have no value in existence.

Again, the fundamental reason why big ships and big guns were eliminated was not the battleship itself, but because the guns were not long enough and fast enough.

Today's warships basically use missiles to carry out long-range fire strikes.

Comparing who has more pits is actually similar to comparing who had the bigger caliber back then.

Moreover, the battleship is wider and fatter, so theoretically it can accommodate more weapons.

Now that the gun problem has been solved, it is only a matter of time before the battleships return.

After all, even a 10,000-ton destroyer would be difficult to supply the electrical energy needed for the electromagnetic gun.

The nuclear power plant has relatively high requirements on the size of the hull itself.

If you want to have both nuclear power and electromagnetic cannon, going bigger is an inevitable choice.

As the commander of an aircraft carrier, Captain Wu is naturally obsessed with big ships.

Even though destroyers are being designed all over the world, there is a saying that there is a limit to destruction.

Not to mention that the current 055 Dachu is no longer considered a destroyer, it has the physique of half a cruiser.

Bigger ships, more powerful guns, farther missiles.

This is the philosophy our navy is always pursuing.

Preparation for the test took about three hours.

While Captain Wu and Du Gang were circling around the giant cannon, Wang Chen had already opened the connection between the two large batteries in the factory and the giant cannon.

With a slight sound, the huge cannon with its lower muzzle was quickly activated.

It rotated half a circle at a speed that was not suitable for its body size, and pointed the muzzle at the ocean in front of it.

"Wang Chen, don't test fire here!"

Du Gang was startled and quickly turned around and shouted.

Wang Chen made an OK gesture and then hugged a notebook on the table.

Soon, a small tour vehicle transported the three of them to a hillside behind.

This was proposed by Du Gang. After all, the ammunition used in this test was a stick made of three-element extruded explosives.

If something unexpected happens, the power of this thing may not be able to lift the factory into the sky in an instant.

Therefore, for safety reasons, not only were most of the equipment in the factory moved out, but all the nearest factories were also shut down and temporarily evacuated.

And he took Wang Chen and the others to hide on the hillside.

There is a simple fortification here, which can block subsequent shock waves even if it does explode.

After getting out of the car and finding an open space to sit down, Wang Chen took his notebook and started tapping quickly.

Du Gang and Captain Wu each held an extra-large telescope and focused their attention on the giant cannon diagonally below.

"Tell the fleet that I am preparing to fire and ask them to move to a safe distance."

After quickly inputting the ship's coordinates into the command box on the display screen, Wang Chen turned to Captain Wu and shouted.

Captain Wu nodded and took out a communicator from his bag. "Attention all ships, stay away from the two kilometers around the ship and maintain maneuverability!"
