Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 746: Weapon question
It's still the same runway, and it's still the test flight of the aerospace plane, but this time the test flight of the aerospace plane is not the same as the last time.
The current aerospace plane has been handed over by Chen Xin. Although it has not undergone major changes, it is obvious that some problems exposed during the last test flight have been adjusted in this upgrade, and will also protect the The shield device was installed.
In this test flight, in addition to further testing the extreme performance of the aerospace plane, it is to test the shield device to test whether the shield device can work normally at an altitude of 40,000 meters .
Because I have already flown once, this time the takeoff is not as nervous as the last time.
"Academician Chen, what do you think of this test flight?" A researcher from Europe asked Chen Xin in English.
These researchers from Europe have also been familiar with the working environment on Yan Guo's side during this period of time. They also have more contact with Chen Xin, the general manager, and gradually become familiar with it.
While waiting for the aerospace plane to complete the take-off inspection, I couldn't help chatting with Chen Xin.
"This test flight? I have no idea. The aircraft has already flown once. There is no problem with the design in all aspects. In theory, it can meet the design requirements. I don't think there will be any problems with this test flight, unless it happens. Accident." Chen Xin didn't say much in the face of this problem, but just showed his confidence in this test flight.
In fact, this is also the case. After all, this aerospace plane has flown once before and has been optimized by his system. There is no possibility of any problems in terms of performance or quality.
Although there is still the possibility of an accident, in theory, this test flight is a 100% surefire.
Hearing Chen Xin say this, the European researcher raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised by Chen Xin's confidence in this test flight.
But he didn't say anything more, just nodded and said, "I hope God bless, everything goes as smoothly as you said, Academician Chen."
"This is in China, you have to say God bless you." Chen Xin joked, but he didn't make fun of other people's beliefs.
Although this apocalyptic disaster has caused the whole world to suffer a lot, and religions in all countries of the world have been severely affected, there are still a large number of devout believers who have become more steadfast in their beliefs under this circumstance.
They believe that this disaster is just a test given by the gods to mankind. Humans need to abandon bad habits and sins, purify themselves and regain the favor of the gods.
Chen Xin has always scoffed at this statement. When he was in Europe, he also had a conflict with a religious group in a certain city, which eventually ended in violent suppression.
But he still respects people who are truly religious and who are willing to be strict with themselves and not force the beliefs of others.
The foreign scientific researcher in front of him is obviously not a particularly religious person. The so-called God bless is just a mantra that has been cultivated for many years.
So in the face of Chen Xin's ridicule, he just shrugged and made an indifferent expression.
While the two were chatting, the aerospace plane also completed the preparations for the test flight, entered the runway, and soared into the sky with the roar of the engine.
Watching the aerospace plane climb, Chen Xin suddenly asked the researchers on the side, "Do you have any thoughts on the weapons of the aerospace plane?"
"There are no good ideas at the moment. It is probably meaningless to install missiles on aerospace aircraft. After all, the flight speed of aerospace aircraft can reach Mach ten, which is faster than the speed of many missiles." The researcher shook He shook his head, obviously there was no good answer to Chen Xin's question.
In fact, this is also true. Even the DF-17 hypersonic missile Yan Guo is currently equipped with has a maximum flight speed of Mach 10, and it is still a ballistic missile, which is not the same as the missile equipped on ordinary fighter jets.
So what kind of weapons should be installed in the aerospace plane is also a headache for the project team now.
If you want to develop a missile for use in a hypersonic environment, it is undoubtedly a new project, which will increase the input cost of aerospace fighters.
But it is obviously impossible to say no. After all, aerospace planes are meant to be used to fight wars. It is impossible to say that planes are built without weapons and can only be used as high-speed reconnaissance planes.
But it is obviously not easy to develop a hypersonic air-to-air missile or air-to-ground missile that did not exist before.
First of all, the engine of the missile is a big problem. After all, not all missiles can reach the flight speed of Mach ten or more.
DF-17 is a ballistic missile, and the relevant design experience cannot be directly applied to air-to-air missiles or air-to-surface missiles.
"How about laser weapons?" Chen Xin proposed an idea.
In a hypersonic environment, lasers are indeed much more ideal than missiles. After all, no matter how fast the plane is, it is not as fast as the speed of light.
"Laser weapons are indeed feasible, but under the current technical conditions, high-power laser weapons will have large optical lenses, which will be easily damaged in a hypersonic environment. If this problem cannot be solved, laser weapons still cannot be Used in hypersonic aircraft." The researchers nodded in agreement with Chen Xin's idea, but also pointed out the problem.
At the current level of human technology ~IndoMTL.com~ the most practical laser weapons are those produced by Chen Xin's scientific research center, but even those laser weapons that have been tested in actual combat want to be applied to super There are still many technical difficulties to be overcome on the aerospace fighters flying at hypersonic speeds.
With Chen Xin not intervening, it is obvious that human beings cannot achieve such a technological breakthrough in a short period of time.
Chen Xin also nodded his head clearly. Naturally, he also knows this kind of thing. After all, he has also participated in the development and manufacture of laser weapons.
It's just that difficulties are difficult. If there is no good solution to the problem, whether it is laser weapons or hypersonic air-to-air missiles and air-to-ground missiles, all have to be done.
But at this moment, another researcher on the side suddenly interjected: "I wonder if a high-energy particle beam weapon is feasible? Since we can build a magnetic beam device to confine high-energy charged particles into a shield, is it possible? Can it be fired and turned into a weapon?"
"High-energy particle beam? Do you mean to use a magnetic field to accelerate charged particles, and then use the kinetic energy carried by the particle beam to cause damage?" Hearing the researcher's proposal, Chen Xin couldn't help feeling bright.
This is indeed a very feasible idea. After all, energy shields have been created, and the technical principles used between the two are the same, just changing the way the electromagnetic field is applied.
