Chapter 190: Quality Is Not Enough, Variety Makes up for It
Under Han Yang's control, this wave of attack lasted for more than ten minutes, and more than 7,000 projectiles were fired before it stopped.
After waiting for a long time, the floating dust gradually fell under the gravity of Yu Shenxing, the water vapor froze into ice and floated down, and the fog dissipated, and the appearance of this small hill appeared in Han Yang's sight again.
At this moment, it can no longer be called a hill.
This hill, which is extremely strong due to the low temperature and cannot be broken by explosives under normal circumstances, has been completely flattened at this moment.
What appeared in Han Yang's field of vision at this moment was just a mess of rubble.
This is the power of the electromagnetic gun.
Calculated based on the mass of a projectile of 1.2 grams and the speed of 200 kilometers per second, the kinetic energy of a projectile is as high as 24 million joules, which is approximately equal to the explosion of six kilograms of TNT.
Compared with the standard rifle bullet named Revenge Type 1 by Han Yang, which weighs about 5 grams, has an initial velocity of 800 meters per second and a kinetic energy of 1,600 joules, the bullet of this latest model of electromagnetic gun developed by Han Yang is 15,000 times more powerful.
But... Han Yang is still a little dissatisfied with this.
"It's still too backward."
Han Yang sighed silently.
According to some clues, Han Yang knew that the conventional electromagnetic guns equipped by the Itar fleet could reach a firing rate of more than ten rounds per second, and the speed was very likely to exceed one thousand kilometers per second.
Moreover, the electromagnetic guns of the Itar people are extremely small, with an estimated total length of no more than one meter, and extremely low energy consumption.
In this way, an Itar warship can be equipped with multiple electromagnetic guns, which can shoot 360 degrees without dead angles.
At the beginning, it was under such an attack that the fleet of the human civilization space army was annihilated in one fell swoop. Even in that battle, the human space army did not see the other weapons of the Itar people except the electromagnetic guns.
To fight you, only electromagnetic guns are enough.
The electromagnetic guns developed by myself are undoubtedly far different from those of the Itar people.
However...
"It's just interstellar pirates. It's enough to fight merchant ships and transport ships. I don't want to fight the Itar fleet. It should be enough."
Han Yang thought secretly: "After the rapid iteration in the early stage, it will not be so easy to develop again. I have to take it slowly. Let's make do with it for now."
At this moment, the factory dedicated to manufacturing this electromagnetic gun has been completed. At Han Yang's command, the machines in the factory immediately began to roar.
In addition to this electromagnetic gun, Han Yang also plans to develop more types of weapons.
It can be said that the quality is not enough, but the variety can make up for it.
With the technology Han Yang currently possesses, if he wants to develop weapons suitable for interstellar combat under asymmetric conditions, he will undoubtedly have to do it on the basis of electromagnetic guns.
Han Yang studied for a period of time and finally determined another weapon.
Interstellar missiles.
Unlike the so-called interstellar missiles that were previously suitable for indoor and ground combat, the interstellar missile developed by Han Yang is a real missile, but it can also be launched through an electromagnetic gun.
Through electromagnetic acceleration technology, this interstellar missile can obtain extremely high initial velocity. Unlike electromagnetic gun projectiles, it still has its own propellant.
These propellants can be used as fuel to change its course after being launched, making it more flexible and changeable.
】
The underlying principle is the same, and some modifications at the application level are relatively simple. Han Yang studied for a period of time and developed a special electromagnetic gun model that can launch this interstellar missile.
This electromagnetic gun is 10 meters long and about 50 centimeters in diameter. It is larger than conventional electromagnetic guns and has higher energy consumption.
The size of the interstellar missile developed by Han Yang for this purpose is one meter long, about 20 centimeters in diameter, and weighs about 80 kilograms. It is loaded with 20 kilograms of propellant.
The propeller used by this interstellar missile is naturally chemical propulsion, which generates hot gas by burning propellant and sprays it out from the tail at high speed to obtain power.
Chemical propellants are inefficient and heavy, and are not suitable for interstellar missiles. However, Han Yang had no choice. At this moment, he could not build an ion thruster that was small enough to be installed on this interstellar missile and had enough thrust, so he could only use chemical propellants first.
At this moment, another round of weapon tests began.
About 10,000 kilometers away from Yu Shenxing, Han Yang placed a target and let it move away from Yu Shenxing at a speed of 20 kilometers per second.
Not only that, it also has its own power and can randomly change its orbital parameters to a small extent.
At this moment, the target was like crazy, spraying here and there without any rules. Each spray would change its direction of advance, making it impossible for ordinary electromagnetic cannon projectiles to lock.
In this situation, the interstellar missile came into play.
In the Grand Canyon of Yu Shenxing, an interstellar missile launcher was erected, roughly aimed at the position of the target, and directly launched an interstellar missile through electromagnetic acceleration technology.
Its muzzle velocity reached 30 kilometers per second.
After that, without any intervention from Han Yang, it automatically locked onto the target's position.
If the target drifted to the left, the interstellar missile would immediately shift a little to the left. If the target drifted to the right, the interstellar missile would immediately make corresponding adjustments.
No matter what, no matter where you run, you will be firmly locked.
About ten minutes later, the interstellar missile finally caught up with the target. Then, under the double blow of its own kinetic energy impact and the explosion of the warhead explosives, accompanied by a dazzling flash, the target was instantly destroyed, and no trace was left.
After that, the wreckage of the interstellar missile and the wreckage of the target continued to move away at a speed of more than 20 kilometers per second, drifting towards the depths of space, without leaving any clues near Yu Shenxing.
"It's okay, barely usable."
Han Yang was still not satisfied.
The biggest dissatisfaction was that the interstellar missile was too weak.
The warhead was too small to hold a nuclear bomb, and could only hold chemical explosives. Although Han Yang developed a new type of explosive that was far more powerful than TNT explosives-all-nitrogen anion salt, the power was still a little small.
But it's still the same sentence, it can be used, use it first.
In addition to electromagnetic guns and interstellar missiles, Han Yang also developed a series of weapons, such as electromagnetic bombs, interstellar mines that also use all-nitrogen anion salts as explosives, graphite bombs used to destroy ion thrusters, interstellar probes, and so on.
The major weapons factories started up again and went all out to start production. When the Hope II spacecraft arrived at Jade Star again, Han Yang had already produced tens of thousands of tons of various weapons.
