C2291 Laser Interference System
Under Qin Guan's lead, they arrived at a tank that had just gone offline. They could see that the barrel of the tank was clearly longer.2
In terms of the length of the barrel, it was more like double diameter. How much longer the barrel was? This was an important indicator. The longer the barrel, the longer the time it would take for the medicine to be fired. When the high-temperature and high-pressure gas came out of the barrel, the energy would be lost.
Therefore, by increasing the length of the barrel, it could increase the speed of the artillery shell. For armor-piercing bullets, speed was king. The higher the speed, the higher the penetration.
The latest tank gun developed in Han Country was already 55 times the diameter. If he continued to increase the length of the cannon barrel, he would face many problems. For example, the minute changes in the cannon barrel due to gravity would require the turret to rotate at a greater efficiency. Also, in the woods and other areas, it was inconvenient for the cannon to be long. Wait a minute.
Another important fact that Coconut Jujube Country could accept this plan was the lifespan of the cannon barrel.
The lifespan of the tank gun was not long. If one were to use the accumulation of time, it would only take a few seconds. The number of cannonballs would be a few hundred rounds.
The tank gun was highly compressed. Every time it was fired, it would be a ravaging of the cannonballs and the cannon barrel. There was also the roasting of the firing medicine. Therefore, under such a harsh environment, the cannon barrel... Even in the Hans Country, where metallurgy technology was the most advanced, it was very easy for the cannon barrel to have mechanical fatigue and so on. It was very difficult for their tank gun's lifespan to exceed 500. As for the Bear Country, due to their backward technology, their tank gun's lifespan was about half of their original lifespan. When firing the grenade and armor-piercing bullets, their lifespan was 300, while the armor-piercing bullets' lifespan was only 200.
When firing armor-piercing bullets, the pressure was the highest, and their lifespan was the lowest. Compared to the lifespan of a few thousand ordinary howitzer, this was definitely a very short period of time.
A very short period of time was something that could be calculated. For example... The initial speed was 1800 meters per second. The average speed of the cannon was 900 meters per second, and the barrel was 6 meters long. The time the cannonball was in the barrel was 6 meters apart from 900 meters per second. Adding another 500 rounds, the lifespan of a cannon barrel would be less than 4 seconds.
Therefore, although the tank gun looked majestic, in reality, it was a type of life force that was completely squeezed out. Of course, it could be used to exceed one's lifespan, but it had to bear the risk of being blown up by a cannon. And this was even if it was sliding, the Rifle Gun was even more out of the question. After firing a few hundred shots, the barrels inside the cannon would be flattened. If they opened fire again, the accuracy would not be guaranteed.
In these years of high-intensity wars, the 79th tank equipped by the Tank Force in Coconut Jujube Country was considered elite. Therefore, the frequency of usage was very high. In a few years' time, most of the tank gun had already reached the end of their lifespan. This time, they might as well take advantage of this opportunity to level up. Leveling up the tank gun as well was naturally a good choice.
Increasing the cannon's length and improving armor-piercing bullets. Although they did not use the Depleted Uranium armor-piercing bullets, it was still possible to destroy the target.
If he could not destroy it, then he should get closer. After all, the strength of the Y Country's Uranium Armor was known by the entire world.
Now, everyone was surrounding this tank and studying it carefully. The Coconut Jujube Country's 79 tanks were the most powerful ground weapons in the Coconut Jujube Country and were equipped by the President's personal guards. Therefore, they didn't hesitate to spend money to upgrade it.
"What's the mushroom head on this?" Compared to their own tanks, they could immediately find some differences in the details. In addition to the gun barrel being longer, there were some additional things on the turret. For example, this thing that looked like a black mushroom head.
I knew you would carry it! Qin Guan looked at the device and introduced it seriously, "This equipment is a secret weapon of our tank. Its full name is Laser Interference System. Listen to this name. Can you guess what it is for? "
Qin Guan knew about the trump card of the Coconut Jujube Country, the famous Reyer. However, he didn't know much about the elites of the Tank Force. The one who asked the question was a general of the Tank Soldier, although he knew his name. He didn't know about his position, but he also didn't know if he was a famous person or not.
However, this device was a new invention of theirs. If the other party wanted it, he could provide them with a simplified version.
"Laser interference system?" Hearing this name, the other side began to seriously consider: "In other words, it works on the other side's laser distance detector?"
Laser distance detector was already one of the most important components in the modern fire control system.
To be able to accurately hit the target, there must be various types of data. The distance was one of the key data. Only by accurately knowing the distance and the error of the meter... Especially the accuracy of the long-range shooting. It was even more essential.
In the past, they used to look at the target. On the aiming tool, they could see the width of the target, distinguish the model, then they calculated and got the data. It was not just the tanks on the ground who did it. The pilots had to carry the wingspan data of all kinds of planes. They also had to be able to calculate. It was not easy to hit the target.
However, technology was developed. Very quickly, a laser distance detector appeared. It fired a laser beam over and then returned. Calculating the time, multiplying the speed of light, one would be able to obtain the distance. This was quite accurate.
This was the method used to launch missiles in the early stages of the fighter plane. Later on, fighter planes entered the era of radar, and radar calculated all sorts of data. However, for tanks, this method was preserved. It was still using laser distance detectors to measure distance. After all, there was no need for radar on tanks.
Then, if one were to tamper with this laser range and give the other party the wrong result, it would be able to interfere with the other party's aim, making the other party unable to hit the target. This, was the effect of the laser suppression system?
"That's right. The technology is constantly developing. Tank Force also needs to constantly learn modern scientific and cultural knowledge. Only then can they keep up with the pace of the era." Qin Guan was very impressed by this commander. "Your analysis is more or less correct. We will propose the principles. ... It took us about five years to develop it successfully. Now it can be put into use, it can interfere with the opponent's laser range. It can make the opponent unable to obtain reliable distance data, thus causing the opponent's fire control system to fail. This way, unless we are within 500 meters, the opponent will not be able to accurately attack us. "
Within five hundred meters? One thousand meters away, we will be able to kill them. With this kind of weapon, the Tank Soldier will be even more confident.
