In recent years, Dr. bull, on the whole, is still good in the state of Han.
The state of Han provided Dr. Boer with special research and development funds. He also found a desolate and remote area in the west of the state of Han, and established an artillery experimental base, 203 mm naval gun, which was developed there. According to some views provided by Qin Guan, Dr. Boer began to study not only gunpowder driven artillery, but also high-end technologies such as electromagnetic guns, He likes everything with guns.
As for the pioneer cannon before the Han Dynasty, due to its long casting age, there are still problems with the metallurgical technology. Therefore, after several experiments, Dr. bull can only give up and continue to increase the charge, which may explode. Power can't satisfy him. He has been in the base countless times, fascinated by the pioneer cannon, hoping to make similar cannons.
The secrecy of the base is quite high, which can also ensure the safety of Dr. bull. After all, this doctor was assassinated in history. Qin Guan doesn't want such a thing to happen again in China. Although it is desolate and remote, it has advanced modern equipment and communication tools, and even specially laid a network connection for them, so, They can also know all kinds of things happening outside at any time.
For example, the accident of eagle's 406mm naval gun. For example, Eagle sold this battleship to Han! It was after receiving the news that Dr. bull took a helicopter specially equipped for him to Huating and asked to see Qin Guan.
Although Qin Guan is very busy now, it can be seen from his red eyes that Qin Guan has not slept all night, but Qin Guan still received him at the first time. When the strong coffee was put in front of him, Qin Guan drank coffee and looked at Dr. bull.
Dr. bull is not very tall. Now he is a little fat and his skin is a little dark. It should be because the light on the Gobi desert is too strong, but his mental state is very good. Now, after seeing Qin Guan, his eyes are full of joy. This is the kind of look when you meet a confidant.
"Mr. Qin, I'm so glad to see you. I'm here for the battleship Iowa." Dr. bull came straight to the point.
For Dr. bull, he has nothing to hide. He can say what he should say. Even because of his personality, he has offended many people. This is also the reason why his research in Eagle country could not be carried out in the end, but he obviously did not learn any lessons.
It can be said that even in the Han Dynasty, there are not many people who can work under Dr. bull. Unless they are artillery geniuses, only geniuses will cherish each other. Such a group of experts are gathered in Dr. bull's artillery base.
They were also interested in the artillery on the Iowa battleship.
"Really? What are you going to do with it?" Qin Guan asked.
"We want to use the gun of this battleship to make a super cannon," Dr. bull said. "Our preliminary plan is to weld the gun tubes of this kind of naval gun together, at least four of which are welded into one gun tube, so as to combine a super cannon!"
Although the caliber is a little short, Dr. bull knows how powerful the naval gun of Iowa class battleship is. Its metallurgical technology is confidential until now. The bore pressure that this naval gun can withstand is also very high, and Dr. Bull has studied it very much, because Dr. bull did so in those years.
In the era when Dr. bull was also valued by the eagle country, he once bored the 16 inch main guns of the two battleships of the eagle country navy with large caliber and welded them head to tail to create a giant gun with a length of 36 meters and a caliber of 424 mm.
Yes, this kind of giant gun uses a 406mm naval gun, but the bore is expanded to 424mm.
In that year, he did many experiments with this naval gun, and successfully threw a 90 kg shell into 180 km high space. In various calculations, it can also send some light objects into space more than 250 kilometers, which is the scheme of launching satellites with cannons.
For the artillery, the longer the barrel, the greater the fuel energy of the artillery. In those days, the Navy only gave him two naval guns, but now, if the Iowa battleship comes back, it will have nine 406mm naval guns. If you remove four from it, you can complete the manufacture of super artillery. This super artillery has stronger performance.
When Dr. bull talks about this now, his eyes are full of longing, and in the face of his enthusiasm, Qin Guan will certainly not pour cold water on him.
"Of course it's no problem," Qin Guan said "But we didn't ask to keep the artillery when we introduced it, and the eagle people will certainly destroy the naval artillery when they sell it to us. Therefore, I can't guarantee that the naval artillery will remain intact when we receive the battleship. I can only guarantee that when it comes back, as long as you can see what's on the upper floor, you can see it Take it away. "
Qin Guan's guarantee is enough. Anyway, what he wants is to refit the hull. If he really wants to transform it according to the aircraft carrier scheme, the superstructure will be demolished. Since it is demolished, it is scrap iron. If Dr. bull wants it, he can give it to him.
"Great." this is also the answer Dr. bull wants. Now Qin Guan has agreed, Dr. bull is naturally elated: "I believe those people will not destroy. After all, it is too difficult to destroy the gun barrel. Moreover, even if they destroy a part, we can dismantle the remaining intact parts for use.
The other party's damage is still possible. For example, inserting explosives in the barrel will cause structural damage inside the barrel. However, it can only damage one section. It's a big deal to saw and use the intact parts.
Dr. bull is already looking forward to it.
"Doctor, I want to ask you another question." Qin Guan said, "you built this super cannon. What are you going to use it to launch?"
For Dr. bull, he is only fascinated by the study of super cannons. He doesn't think much about what cannons can launch. However, the practical value of such cannons must be considered by Qin Guan.
Super cannon, what is it used to launch?
"Of course it's a satellite," Dr. bull said. "Can this be a problem?"
It doesn't seem to be a problem what to do with a super cannon. The cost of using it to explore space and launch man-made satellites is definitely much lower than that of rockets.
"However, all kinds of satellites at this stage can not withstand the high overload of artillery launch," Qin Guan said.
