Chapter 2450: Coordinated launch

"Then we can launch north or south, so it becomes a polar satellite." Qin Guan stood there, took two steps back and forth, and said, "Say hello to Xiong Guo, let's launch north. It’s the most suitable. It’s a vast land with sparsely populated areas, and our relationship with Xiong Country is pretty good.

In fact, Qin Guan even hopes to launch to the south. Certain countries in the south are always dishonest. If they don’t fall, it’s best. If they fall, they can be deterred. We failed to launch satellites. This is international Don’t get excited about the accident, how did you launch it? Cannon, if there is any change in the future, if our cannon launches satellites, it will always fail.
However, the current international situation is not good for Han, so it’s better to be safe. Just launch north. Tell Xiong that we plan to launch a polar satellite to the north, which will pass you. Over the territory, the bear people have no reason not to agree.
"Okay, I'll go to coordinate immediately." The Xiucai heard Qin Guan's deployment, and he took it seriously, and immediately went to coordinate, without even going to the real diplomatic department, but directly to the arms dealer Boris. This kind of coordination is more important. Faster and more effective, Boris can directly contact the opponent's garrison. When the opponent finds a cannonball flying in the sky, don't think it is a war.
"How heavy is this cannon?" It takes time to wait for contact. It just so happens that Qin Guan can chat with Dr. Bull again. Hearing Qin Guan's question, Dr. Bull became interested.
"Just talk about the barrel, this super cannon, the barrel is quite heavy, the Eagle Country’s technology is the most advanced, the 406 mm heavy artillery smelted out, only 108 tons, far below the same period Other naval guns."
The 381mm cannon of the Hans people and the 410mm cannon of the island country are less powerful than the 406mm cannon of the Eagle country, but the weight is half higher! They all need more than 150 tons of gun barrels, and the Eagle Country’s is only over a hundred tons. This is the crystallization of advanced metal smelting technology. The Eagle Country’s MK7 406 mm 50-caliber main gun will have a barrel. The structure has been reduced from MK2’s 7-story to 2-story, and the weight of the barrel is also reduced by 22 tons. It can be said that to measure a country’s high-tech is to look at the aviation industry and to measure a country’s basic industry, that is, to look at metal smelting. This kind of metal smelting technology of the Chinese is quite advanced, even in the current Han country, there is no such technology.
Now, when Dr. Bull said that the metal of the gun barrel was smelted, Qin Guan was moved. Dr. Bull, as an artillery expert, must have deeply studied the casting of cannons, his own 203 mm naval gun. , It was successfully developed under his hand, so if he wants a super cannon with a diameter of one meter, he must also study newer metal smelting technology. If it is handed over to him, will the domestic metal smelting technology continue? How about promotion? You know, this is the foundation of industry!
Qin Guan is really moved. Although the high investment is scary, he has a cemetery system and can get enough funds from the currency cemetery at any time. Therefore, these are not problems. I originally wanted to let Dr. Bull study it. He is obviously not interested in the electromagnetic gun, he likes this gunpowder cannon, and simply let him set up a bigger stall to play.
Speaking of technical issues, Dr. Burr was talking endlessly. He talked for more than half an hour without feeling cold in the breeze. At the same time, the preparation of the cannon was slowly beginning. .
The loading of this type of heavy artillery is quite laborious. It requires a specially designed hoist to hoist the shells and propellant separately, and then use special equipment to stuff them into the barrel.
The large-caliber artillery is all divided ammunition. The warhead and the propellant pack are two parts. Now, looking at the warhead and thinking of the broadcast inside, Qin Guan feels funny. This is just a test fire anyway. Successful this time, maybe a commercial satellite can be launched next time?
However, if a cannon is used for launching, in order to withstand the high overload, the satellite needs to be additionally fixed, which will increase the user's investment. I don't know whether the user will be willing.
"Mr Qin, we have coordinated, and our domestic observation system is also ready." Xiucai said to Qin Guan.
The Xiucai not only contacted Xiong Country, but the giant observation radar system nearby the country was also ready to track the orbit of the projectile to see if it was in orbit.
"Okay, let's get started."
If you launch a rocket, you still have to look at the launch window and the weather at the time. If you use a cannon, you don’t need anything. When you need it, you can set it up and fight!
Start! After finally getting the final order, Dr. Bull was very excited. He gave the order loudly, watching the propellant pack and the warhead being pushed into the barrel, and then the barrel began to stand up little by little.
Very slow, very slow, a single pipe is more than 100 tons, seven pipes connected together, that is more than 700 tons, plus additional reinforcement mechanism, the whole slowly rising mechanism has exceeded 1,000 tons. , Just this set of erected system, the power is quite large.
After more than half an hour of erection, the barrel was finally in place.
If you want to launch the highest, then place the barrel vertically, and if you want to launch the farthest, then place the barrel at a 45-degree angle, but now launching satellites, neither of them is suitable.
The ninety-degree elevation angle of the gun barrel allows the shells to leave the atmosphere at the shortest distance. This is also the method of rocket launching. However, in this way, the shells cannot be turned. Launching rockets has a complex control system that can be carried out at any time. Posture adjustment, but firing a cannonball, that’s a matter of fact. There is no possibility of any adjustment in the later period. It is not Dr. Bull’s business to set those devices on the cannon. For Dr. Bull, you don’t even need to know the ejection Accurate orbit, as long as it can't fall down, it will succeed.
So, is an angle of forty-five degrees appropriate? This is also inappropriate. If you go out in this way, you will spend too much time in the atmosphere and travel too much distance, and the air resistance will have a great impact.
Therefore, after accurate calculation, Dr. Bull set this angle at seventy-five degrees. In this way, the artillery projectile is on a high projectile trajectory. At the highest point, the speed level and the first cosmic speed can be reached. Flew around the planet.
The theory is the theory, the actual is the reality. The specific situation depends on the results of this launch. If it cannot become a satellite, the place of fall may be the northern part of the bear country or the northernmost ice cap area. Up.
Dr. Bull's face flushed with excitement.
