C2388 Four Doors Welded Together
In these past few years, Dr. Boole had been doing pretty well in Han Country.0
Han Country had provided Dr. Boole with specialized research and development funds, and he had even found a desolate and remote area in the western region of Han Country. He had built a research base for artillery, 203 mm Naval Gun. It was developed there, and according to some of the perspectives provided by Qin Guan, not only did Dr. Boole study the cannon powered by gunpowder, but he also began to study high-end technology like the Electromagnetic Cannon. As long as it was carrying a cannon, he would like it.
As for the Vanguard Cannon in Han Country, it had been forged for a long time. There was still a problem with the metallurgy technology on it. Therefore... After a few experiments, Dr. Boole could only give up. If he continued to increase the capacity of the medicine, it might explode. The power was not enough to satisfy him. He was lost in thought as he faced the Vanguard Cannon countless times in the base. He hoped to produce cannons of the same kind.
The secrecy of the base was quite high, which could also ensure Dr. Boole's safety. After all, this professor had been assassinated in history. Qin Guan did not want such a thing to happen in the country, even though it was a desolate and remote place. However, it had advanced modern equipment and communication tools. It had even specially set up a network connection for them. Therefore, they could understand all kinds of things happening outside at any time.
For example, the incident with the 406 mm Naval Gun in Y Country. For example, the incident with the 406 mm ___ in ___. Y Country sold this battleship to Han Country! After Dr. Boole received the news, he took a helicopter specially prepared for him. He came to Hua Ting and requested to see Qin Guan.
Although Qin Guan was very busy right now, it could be seen from his red-eyed circles. Qin Guan had not slept for the whole night, but Qin Guan still welcomed him immediately. When the thick coffee was placed in front of him, Qin Guan drank it. On the other side. He looked at Dr. Boole.
Dr. Boole wasn't very tall. He was a little chubby now. His skin was a little dark, probably because the light on the desert was too strong. But his mental state was very good. Now, after seeing Qin Guan... His eyes were full of joy. This was the expression of meeting a confidant.
"President Qin, I'm really happy to see you. I came this time specifically for the Iowa battleship." Dr. Boole went straight to the point.
To Dr. Boole, there was nothing he could hide. He could say whatever he wanted, and because of his personality... He had even offended many people. This was also the reason why he couldn't continue his research in Y Country. However, he clearly hadn't learned any lessons.
It could be said that even in Han Country, there weren't many people who could work under Dr. Boole. Unless it was a cannon genius, only geniuses would appreciate each other. In Dr. Boole's artillery base, such a group of experts had gathered.
They were also very interested in the cannons on the Iowa battleship.
"Is that so? What do you plan to use it for?" Qin Guan asked.
"We want to use this battleship's Naval Gun to create a super cannon." Dr. Boole said, "Our initial plan is to use the cannon barrel of this Naval Gun. There are at least four of them welded together to form a cannon barrel. This way, a super cannon will be assembled! "
Although the caliber was a little short, Dr. Boole knew how powerful the Naval Gun of an Iowa class battleship was. Its metallurgy technology has been kept secret until now. The pressure that this Naval Gun can bear is also very high. And Dr. Boole had studied it very well, because back then... Dr. Boole had done this before.
In the era when Dr. Boole was still valued by Y Country, he had once used the two 16-inch main guns of the Y Country Navy. The head and tail welded together, creating a 36-meter long, 424 mm cannon.
That's right, this cannon used a 406 mm Naval Gun, but it was enlarged to 424 mm.
In the past, he had done many experiments with this kind of Naval Gun, and successfully threw a 90-kilogram cannon into the 180-kilometer-high space. And in all sorts of calculations, it could also throw some light mass objects. To space above 250 kilometers, this was the plan to use cannons to launch satellites.
For cannons, the longer the barrel, the more energy they would have. In the past, the navy only gave him two Naval Gun. But now? If this Iowa battleship were to return, it would have nine 406 millimeters of Naval Gun! Taking down four of them from above, it would be able to complete the manufacturing of the super cannon. The performance of this super cannon would be even more powerful.
When Dr. Boole mentioned this, his eyes were filled with longing. When faced with his enthusiasm, Qin Guan naturally would not pour cold water on him.
"Of course, this is not a problem." Qin Guan said, "But when we introduced the cannons, we did not request to keep the cannons. When the people of Y Country sell them to us, they will definitely destroy the Naval Gun. So, I can't guarantee that when we take back this battleship, the Naval Gun can still remain intact. I can only guarantee that when it returns... As long as you can take a liking to the things on the upper floors... Then we can take them all."
Qin Guan's guarantee was already enough. Anyway, they wanted the hull to be modified. If they really had to follow the plan of the aircraft carrier, then... The buildings on the upper floor would be demolished. Since it was dismantled, it would be a piece of scrap metal. Dr. Boole wanted it... Alright, I'll give it to you.
"Great!" This was the answer Dr. Boole wanted. Qin Guan had already agreed to it. Dr. Boole was naturally delighted. "I believe that those people will not destroy it. After all, it is too difficult to destroy the cannon barrel. Besides, even if they destroy a part of it, we can still destroy the rest of it. Take it out and use it.
It is still possible for the other party to destroy it, such as inserting explosives into the cannon barrel. It could cause structural damage to the inside of the cannon barrel, but it could only be damaged for a short period of time. At most, they could just cut it open and use the intact parts. That was still possible.
Dr. Boole was already looking forward to it.
"Doctor, I want to ask you another question." Qin Guan said, "You built this super cannon. What do you plan to use it for?"
For Dr. Boole, he was only obsessed with studying the super cannon. What could the cannon fire? He did not think much about it. However, the practical value of this cannon was something Qin Guan had to consider.
What could the super cannon fire?
"Of course it's a satellite." Dr. Boole said, "This question, can it be considered a problem?"
What was the use of a super cannon? It did not seem to be a problem. Using it to explore space and launch artificial satellites, its cost was definitely much lower than a rocket.
"However, all the satellites at our current stage are unable to withstand the high overload of cannon fire." Qin Guan said.
