Chapter 663

In order to resist the high temperature corrosion vesicles of alien creatures, upgrading the outer armor material is the most direct way.

When it comes to corrosion-resistant materials, Chen Xin first thought of ceramics and ceramic armor.

Corrosion resistance of ceramics is a common sense that many people know.

Before Chen Xin became an Internet writer, he once worked in the chemical industry. It's very normal to deal with all kinds of corrosive things in this industry.

Among them, ceramic, plastic, and other corrosion-resistant materials made of parts or lining, is the most direct way to deal with metal materials in the process of use by a variety of chemical corrosion.

The corrosion resistance of plastics may have overturned many people's cognition, but in fact, there are such plastics, which are even widely used in the chemical industry.

But this plastic is obviously not suitable for armor.

After all, corrosion-resistant plastics are corrosion-resistant, and their strength and hardness are not high enough. Although they can not be pierced with a knife, they are far from being able to be used as armor.

As for whether the strength of corrosion-resistant plastics can be increased to the hardness of tank armor, it is certainly possible, but the cost and time investment of R & D are not worthwhile, and can not meet the needs of the current battlefield.

At this time, it is not to be as perfect as possible in the laboratory, but to take out as much as possible what can be used to meet the needs of the battlefield. As for the follow-up improvement, it can be done slowly.

That's why when we look at the military equipment in World War II, the early models are all messy and full of experimental things, while the equipment produced in the later period obviously has more optimized design and adapts to the changes of the battlefield.

So instead of trying to improve the performance of plastics, it's better to think of a more practical way.

In fact, the armor of modern tanks is no longer composed of single material. The composite armor used by modern tanks is to stack multiple layers of materials with different properties to obtain the performance of multiple materials. To achieve a thin layer of armor is equivalent to the effect of heavy armor in the past.

Therefore, Chen Xin wants to improve the tank and Titan's outer armor, using the form of composite armor is the most simple and effective method.

All he has to do is develop a new type of composite armor.

But it is not so easy.

In addition to plastics, corrosion-resistant materials also include ceramics, and ceramic composite armor has been used in the military field for a long time.

But on the battlefield, even the tanks equipped with ceramic composite armor are still difficult to resist the high temperature corrosion vesicles of alien creatures.

To a large extent, the reason is that the ceramic composite armor is designed to resist armor piercing projectiles rather than corrosion.

The firing principle of the ceramic layer is different. With the thickness of the ceramic layer itself, after the high hardness alloy steel on the surface of the armor is corroded, the ceramic layer filled with glass fiber reinforced resin by ceramic balls in the middle can not resist the erosion of high temperature corrosive liquid, so that the bottom layer of high toughness alloy steel will be eroded together.

Therefore, in order to resist the attack of corrosive vesicles from alien organisms, the corrosive liquid must be isolated in the outermost layer.

"The outer layer is coated with anti-corrosion plastic, the middle layer is supported by high hardness ceramic interlayer, and the bottom layer is still made of high toughness alloy steel. Do you think this design can resist the attack of corrosion vesicles from alien organisms?" In the temporary laboratory, while drawing a diagram on the whiteboard, Chen Xin asked other researchers in the laboratory.

Several researchers frowned and listened to Chen Xin's explanation, but they shook their heads.

"It's a good idea, but even if the hardness of plastics is higher, it's hard to match the performance of steel. And even if the performance can meet the requirements, the production cost will be very high in this case." A researcher is a little bit cold water, but he is obviously thinking from the perspective of reality.

At this time, another researcher also chimed in and said: "the key is that even if we develop new armor, we have to replace all the tanks currently equipped by the military. In this case, the investment is too large, and even if the country agrees to this plan, it will take a lot of time to replace all tanks with new armor."

"It's easy to say that it's a big deal to use armor plate to attach armor. Although the effect is poor, it can still play a defensive role. Now the key is how to design a new type of armor." Another researcher also joined in the discussion and put forward his opinion: "academician, in the final analysis, your design is to create a corrosion isolation layer on the surface of the existing armor to isolate the corrosion of the corrosion vesicles thrown by alien creatures. In this case, we will directly coat a special protective coating on the surface of the existing tank armor, Can it have the same effect? "

"Protective coating? "Coating?" As soon as Chen Xin listened to the researcher's words, he immediately understood what he meant.

This is more practical than changing new armor. At the same time, both the cost and investment are much smaller, and it can meet the needs of the battlefield faster.

Moreover, it is easier to develop a new type of coating to paint and coat tanks than to develop a new type of armor to replace tanks.

"In that case, our R & D direction will be to make protective coatings!" Chen Xin also quickly adjusted his thinking and determined a new R & D direction. However, he stressed: "even if we are developing new protective coatings, the development of new protective armor can not be delayed. We should develop a new type of material or armor that can resist alien biological attacks, which can be used as a technical reserve for the next generation of Titans."

There is nothing wrong with Chen Xin's words. For a long time, Yanguo's military industry's research and development idea is to research and develop a generation, reserve a generation, and use a generation.

New coatings can be applied to the battlefield immediately, while new armor can be used as a technical reserve for the next generation of equipment.

However, this idea is undoubtedly based on the fact that this war will last for a long time. After all, only alien creatures will attack with corrosive liquid.

The war between normal human beings will still focus on piercing rather than corroding armor.

Therefore, both anti-corrosion coatings and anti-corrosion armor are only used to deal with alien creatures. If alien creatures can be eliminated in a short time, these things will not be useful.

"Academician, do you think this war will last for a long time?" One researcher asked his own question.
