1598: C1598 Vanguard Cannon

C1598 Vanguard Cannon

In order to intimidate the opponent, he had to bring out his true killing weapon. In the past, Qin Guan had always been trying to trick Dr. Boole to get the 203mm Naval Gun out first.

Just as he had expected, it would be very difficult for Dr. Boole to cooperate with others. Because Dr. Boole's personality was too arrogant. He would offend a lot of people. The project in Maple Leaf Country was going well. However, he was killed in the end. One of the main reasons was... It was because he didn't know how to conduct himself in the world. Otherwise, there would be so much research funding in Y Country. A little loosening of his grip would be enough.

Qin Guan didn't have the time to instruct everyone to pay attention to the cooperation with Dr. Boole. Now, everyone was in an awkward situation. This guy... His mouth was full of flames, making the people here sound like sh * t. It seemed like they were about to split up. Luckily, Qin Guan had finally entered the arena.

When they saw Qin Guan, the eyes of the others were filled with anticipation. It was good that President Qin was here. President Qin, take a look. This Dr. Boole was simply unable to communicate with others and cooperate with them. This fellow is completely stubborn. As long as it was him who suggested it... That was absolutely correct. Everyone could only obey.

Truth was something that could be disputed. This fellow's high and mighty appearance was truly disgusting.

Everyone was looking forward to it. But now, Qin Guan had not yet taken care of everyone's emotions. He had first talked about Dr. Boole. When Dr. Boole heard that he was going to develop this super cannon, he was immediately excited.

"If that's the case, the caliber must be at least 300 mm. If it can be put at 400 mm, it will definitely be the best." Dr. Boole said, "You are finally going to launch the super cannon project!"

Super cannon, was it expensive?

Actually, it was not much. The main investment was to build this cannon. It required advanced alloy materials. The Han Country already had the electricity slag heavy steel. It was totally enough. After it was built, this kind of cannon... After firing a few hundred rounds, it would reach the end of one's life. It was a large-caliber cannon. Their lifespan wasn't high, but that didn't mean they were useless. The rifleline would be grinded flat, and they could continue to expand and use it. After expanding the barrel twice, the side wall of the cannon was not thick enough. It could also fire smooth bore bullets. In short, one's lifespan could still be guaranteed.

For example, Dr. Boole's initial research was to connect the 406 mm Naval Gun used by the two Y Country Navy battleships. He also expanded the caliber and finally turned it into a 36m long cannon with a diameter of 424 mm.

It was the most common way to expand the Naval Gun's bore.

This kind of large caliber cannon was destined to be specially developed. Dr. Boole had long had a set of advanced experience.

In the past, the most famous super cannon. It was famous for directly hitting the capital of Chicken Country. At that time, its shooting range was only over 100 kilometers. But now, with the development of technology, the bore pressure was increasing, and the performance of the medicine was increasing. So, with the same caliber, it wouldn't be a problem to shoot for 400 kilometers.

Dr. Boole already had a series of solutions to all kinds of appendages, installations, and so on. With the current development of technology, it would be easier for him to aim at the computer. He could develop a cannon specifically for it to aim at the computer.

Dr. Boole was eager to try it out. At this moment, someone at the side spoke.

"President Qin, if we are talking about large-caliber cannons, we also have ready-made things." The person who spoke had white hair and wore glasses that looked like the bottom of a bottle. He pushed up his glasses as if it took a lot of effort. After all, it was a project that had already passed. It was no longer considered a leak.

"We have it?" Qin Guan was also very curious.

"Yes, we have one. In the past, we had a vanguard cannon with the codename 640-2. This project has 420 mm cannons."

420 mm? Hearing the old man's words, Dr. Boole was excited. "God, this is good news. I like you."

Dr. Boole was like a fickle child. Just now, he was scolding everyone for being dogsh * t. Now, he was smiling at the old man.

420 mm Ah, this is a good caliber!

The Han Country is also doing this kind of cannon, how come I didn't know about it?

Everyone got on the plane and went straight to the site of the 640 project. On the plane, only Qin Guan was qualified to listen to the story of the 640 project from this old man.

In that era, whether it was Bear Country or Y Country, all of them had a reconnaissance aircraft that was three times the speed of sound. At the same time, ， there was still the Anti-missile System in the Bear Country, but there was nothing in the Han Country. Therefore, the Han Country was also thinking of starting their own project. The Vanguard Cannon was developed during that era.

Its main purpose was to launch nuclear warheads in low-Earth orbit to intercept the low-Earth aircraft and intercontinental missiles that entered Han Country's airspace!

The anti-air missile technology in Han Country was outdated, so it was impossible to break through. Therefore, at that time, no matter how bold one was, how much land one produced, there was no other way. They could only make their move on the Antiaircraft Cannon.

The key research and development units for this project were 2210. They first conducted experiments on the 85mm smooth bore. This was the largest caliber cannon at that time.

After modification, the initial speed of a 4kg bullet reached 1200m / second. However, this was only the initial experiment. Using it to shoot into space was clearly unrealistic.

Then, a specially reforged Antiaircraft Cannon appeared. This kind of 140 millimeter barrel slide, the initial speed of the 18 kilogram warhead firing reached 1,600 meters per second. The firing speed reached 74 kilometers, with a range of 130 kilometers.

If one wanted to intercept low-Earth orbit spacecraft and intercontinental missiles, it was still not possible. However, this was already quite an achievement.

In this achievement, they continued to work hard, increasing the caliber to 320 millimeters. They created a specially-made subcaliber rocket acceleration bullet and solid pressurized acceleration bullet. After experimenting on this type of cannon, finally, they determined their own plan.2

This was the super cannon of Vanguard with a diameter of 420 mm!

After all, only a cannon with such a caliber had enough space to equip a nuclear warhead. Only a nuclear warhead could have sufficient destructive power.

Similar to the Anti-missile System deployed around the capital by Bear Country in this era, nuclear warheads were used to deal with nuclear warheads. Exploding the enemy's nuclear warheads in space was much better than exploding in their own cities. Even if it would cause some harm, it was worth it.

After all, to accurately hit, it would take another few decades. In 2020, the NMD system could not be said to be completely mature.

This old man was the person in charge of the project at that time. It was a crazy era. Even the west knew about Dr. Boole's super cannon, but they did not know that Han Country actually had the same cannon.
