MTL - Monster Factory-~ 1356: Extreme weapons
Since Ye Qing feels this kind of repeated torpedo, there are some magic metal **** floating around the electromagnetic king.
Then why not make it more technologically magical?
An amorphous torpedo is made entirely from unshaped metal.
Perhaps using a torpedo to describe it is not very appropriate, the amorphous metal can change shape.
In addition, the torpedo that relies on chemical reaction energy to kill ships is a one-time combat weapon. After a loud noise, it will become a fragment.
Ye Qing hopes to have a high-tech weapon that can be used repeatedly, and it should try to keep quiet as much as possible during the killing process.
Then the amorphous metal is naturally the best choice, and the name can be changed when it is finalized.
You can also turn its shape into a fish, use the fins to swing, or swing like a squid to act as a power, so that you can be completely silent.
The sailfish in the ocean can swim at speeds of nearly sixty knots, and its mouth is at the front end of a slender bone-like sharp horn.
It can easily pierce the outer shell of a wooden fishing boat when it swims fast in the sea.
With an amorphous metal, it will only be faster.
"That... what is its weapon system?" The crystal stunned. "Boss, you really don't want to make the amorphous metal into a blade, and cut the hull repeatedly."
“Although the amorphous metal can turn the blade into a nano-scale thickness, the thickness of the hull of a warship can be between 20mm and 30mm. The key parts also have composite armor protection. It is afraid to cut with the amorphous metal. Hours."
"Even if there is a group of scorpions in the warships, they can touch them along the sound."
"Of course I know." Ye Qing smashed his forehead, and the unshaped metal was magical, but counting on it, it was unrealistic to sink a few thousand tons of warships.
Therefore, it is necessary to install a weapon for the indefinite torpedo.
This kind of weapon should be quiet and free of damage, and it can cause huge damage to warships.
The electromagnetic generator was first abandoned and it was in the soft kill range.
"Remove the chemical explosion, then there is the energy weapon." Ye Qing clap his hands and cheered on the crystal and the masters: "We brainstorm and design a subversive weapon for the indefinite torpedo."
The master did not think about it: "It doesn't take much time to think about it. I have seen the destroyer that we pulled back. Its outer casing is made of high-strength non-magnetic steel."
“In theory, this steel can be cut quickly by plasma cutting technology common in industrial processing.”
"The biggest problem is still stuck in the energy."
The principle of plasma cutting technology is not complicated. The use of electric current to generate high-temperature plasma arcs, these high-temperature arcs of several thousand degrees, can quickly melt various alloy metals in the working area. As early as Ye Qing started his business, he used this technology to help a clubhouse cut high-strength explosion-proof doors.
So in theory, even with the simplest plasma technology, the outer shell of a warship can be cut.
However, energy is conserved, and an indefinite torpedo with a volume of only a few tens of kilograms, even if it carries an energy module that has not yet been developed, it is impossible to sink a ship of even a thousand tons.
Because the ship's sinking is slow, the crew can detect and quickly take remedial measures when the hull enters the water.
“I will first calculate the energy required to cut a square meter of high-strength non-magnetic steel with plasma cutting technology.” The crystal crystals are taken out of the holographic glasses and counted using the formula calculation program.
After a few minutes, the crystal led the calculations to the electronic screen.
The frigate's high-strength non-magnetic steel casing has a thickness of 30 mm. If a high-frequency plasma technology with an output of 9600 is used to cut a one-square-meter gap, it is theoretically necessary to consume 0.5 kWh of electricity.
According to the energy storage density of the energy module, an energy module of three hundred grams weight is needed to be able to cut the energy consumption.
The amorphous torpedo assumes that ten kilograms of energy modules are used as a power source. After removing the necessary energy for maintaining the deformation of the amorphous metal, only the high-frequency plasma cutting knife is enough to cut a tens of square meters of armor from the outer shell of the warship.
"It seems that it does not seem to work."
This energy consumption situation will not make Ye Qing difficult to accept. "Theoretically, the indefinite type of torpedo only cuts a small armor and lets itself drill in to destroy the important facilities inside the warship, such as the ammunition depot or the oil depot. The chance can be successful."
"But what I want is a revolutionary energy weapon."
"If you want a plasma cutting knife, we have to have a mini reactor."
The crystal has turned over and turned his eyes. "Boss, we are not Stark Industries, we can't make a small Ark reactor."
"We have to face the reality that the Behemoth industry is currently able to produce the highest energy storage battery, only the energy module."
"No, the energy module has not been built yet."
Ark reactor...
If there is a kind of Ark reaction furnace in the movie, all the difficulties will be solved. Not to mention the plasma cutting knife, even if it is a high-energy laser, the shock knife can create it.
This technique of the Ark Reactor is not to be considered. This is a violation of the principle of conservation of energy.
The most realistic technology is to boil water only to miniaturize the nuclear reactor.
Miniaturized Reactor Technology The behemoth industry is at the forefront of the world and can theoretically reduce the reactor to a truck size.
But it is still too big, built on the torpedo, the weight of the entire torpedo is at least a few hundred tons.
Without a nuclear reactor, there is not enough energy to supply the weapon system...
reactor……
Ye Qing carefully considered the various possibilities of miniaturization of nuclear reactors.
After thinking for a long time, Ye Qing certainly did not come up with the results.
However, the principle of the nuclear reactor suddenly gave Ye Qing inspiration.
"Electronic crystal, you just got the UHF plasma cutting knife in the energy consumption formula, how much can the arc working temperature reach?"
Dian Jing did not understand why Ye Qing asked this, but it immediately replied, "The arc temperature is 8000 degrees, of course, this temperature is only inside the arc."
Ye Qing continued to ask, "What is the temperature limit of the reactor core of the humpback whale?"
"Extreme temperature?"
The driver said that the boss should be clear, "Boss, if you are referring to the removal of the primary circuit cooling water, let the core freely heat up under the cooling measures. The reactor core temperature will gradually Rising to the limit of more than 3,500 degrees."
“In fact, when the core rises to three thousand degrees, the zirconium alloy fuel rods we use to seal the nuclear fuel will be slowly melted by the high temperature, and then we will completely lose control of the core.”
"Boss, the example of the core out of control, you humans have been performing many times, how to explode, I don't need to explain it."
Ye Qing smiled happily, laughing very proudly, letting a little bit of fear of the electric crystal.
"Electronic crystal, you are right, we can't make the Ark reactor."
"But we can use the idea of fuel rods to create a new weapon."
The electric crystal blinked, "What... what weapon?"
"Oh... it can be called a nuclear fission knife."
"Or you can call a fission knife."
