After all, the Iowa has a displacement of close to 60,000 tons. It is a super warship. With such a huge displacement, it can do too much.

The previous naval guns must be dismantled. On the one hand, in modern warfare, the power of this huge gun is really not that great. Only when one side has completely seized air supremacy, can you rely on the other side’s coastline. , To attack the enemy's land targets. But in this case, our own 203 mm naval gun can also be completed. Although the power of the 406 naval gun is great, it is already in excess.

Moreover, if these naval guns existed, they would definitely make the experts of Eagle Nation talk endlessly, exaggerating their own threat theory, and besides, they had destroyed many structures of the turret and it was very complicated to repair. Therefore, Qin Guan now throws it out. Up his own point of view.

"After the three gun positions are removed, we can deploy more than two hundred Long Sword-10 cruise missile launch tubes in their original positions."

The arsenal ship uses a large number of weapons it carries to carry out ground attacks. Among various weapons, the cruise missile is the most suitable. It just so happens that it has developed the Changjian-10 cruise missile. Although it is relatively long, it only It can be stuffed into the launch tube of an Oscar-class nuclear submarine, but on this battleship, using the original turret position, the volume is absolutely no problem. Who dares not accept? Two hundred cruise missiles will be able to beat you down!

With two hundred gun positions on the three gun positions, it is absolutely no problem, or even more. Now, Qin Guan has proposed his own idea, which is also the most suitable method of operation for the Iowa battleship.

"Yes, such changes are rare." Pan Lao said: "This is also the most realistic situation, but it's a pity."

Everyone knows what a pity Pan Lao is doing. Such a powerful battleship and a powerful naval gun are about to be dismantled. It is really a pity. If this battleship can be directly operated, the 406 mm naval gun, think Just think about it.

"For our warships, traditional artillery will eventually be eliminated." Qin Guan said: "Perhaps the super artillery is its ultimate destination."

When talking about this, Qin watched the meeting place. Dr. Bull did not attend the meeting. The level of confidentiality of this kind of meeting is very high. After all, Dr. Bull is still an outsider. Besides, Dr. Bull doesn’t bother to attend such meetings. It was enough to get his barrels and research on super cannons. Qin Guan removed these barrels to him, which was enough for him to be happy.

For traditional artillery, the super cannon seems to be the home, then, what will the traditional artillery be replaced by?

"Now, ask our experts to introduce to everyone." Qin Guan said to everyone.

When the traditional artillery is eliminated, what is the new artillery? Qin Guan pointed out the direction to the special organization, that is the electromagnetic gun! In fact, Qin Guan and Dr. Bull had discussed the development of electromagnetic guns. However, it is not convenient for Dr. Bull to participate in this kind of meeting. Moreover, Dr. Bull’s best is still the most common artillery. He was still not good at developing electromagnetic guns.

Now I will introduce you to an expert from the power system. Of course, it is also a cross-professional one. At the beginning, I was engaged in the power system. Now, a research team has been specially formed, including the power system and the artillery system. In Han's military industry, this kind of cooperation is increasing.

"Now, the world is carrying out a new generation of theoretical pre-research. Compared with traditional gunpowder-driven artillery, there are two new development directions, namely electromagnetic railgun and electrothermal chemical gun. We follow the ideas provided by Mr. Qin, The research and development of electromagnetic guns has been carried out.” This young-looking expert said: “Compared with electrothermal chemical guns, electromagnetic railguns have much greater potential. However, if this technology is to reach the practical stage, it also has a lot of potential. The big problem."

After all, this is a kind of sci-fi technology. Electromagnetic gun, practical electromagnetic force to drive the artillery forward, so that it does not require gunpowder, there is no limitation of chamber pressure, etc., so that the artillery can reach higher speeds, but it is Brand new, there are many theories that need to be verified to determine the route.

"We are currently conducting research and development in many related fields. Of course, we also need the support of warships. If we want to put this type of electromagnetic gun on the ship, we need the support of warships."

The new generation of shipborne electromagnetic guns requires quite a lot of energy. If it is an ordinary warship, it is not enough to provide these energy sources. Just one shot is enough to make the entire warship’s circuit trip due to excessive load. Up.

"So far, we believe that the Iowa-class battleship is the only warship that meets our needs for electricity. Therefore, we look forward to using a secondary turret on this warship to conduct research on electromagnetic guns."

The Iowa class is an arsenal ship. In addition to a large number of missiles, it also has the most advanced electromagnetic gun in the world!

This is also Qin Guan's plan in another preparation plan. Although the caliber of the gun barrel has been greatly reduced, its power is not reduced, and it can reach the level of a 406 mm naval gun!

In later generations, warships began to engage in all-electric propulsion. The gas turbines on warships were only used to provide electricity, integrated power supply, radar, and naval guns. Only in the era of all-electric propulsion, the power supply on warships could be considered. It has been completely resolved, so this must be a trend.

But now, of course, this method has not yet been developed. If you want to experiment with this electromagnetic gun, you have to use a warship with sufficient power to provide an experimental platform. A warship with a displacement of close to 60,000 tons, of course, has such a huge amount of power. Supplied, so it’s best to experiment with it!

The 406 mm naval gun is a pity, it was removed in this way, but we can use a more advanced electromagnetic gun than it is, and only with a secondary turret, it can still be comparable to the original heavy gun. This is technological progress. If If this type of electromagnetic gun is successfully developed, it can also be used on various warships of its own side, becoming a typical representative of its own low-cost and high-efficiency weapons!

In the course of everyone's discussion, the Iowa-class battleship was given a newer identity that is closer to actual needs, but this is facing a new problem.

The aircraft carrier was gone again.
