C2448 Super Cannon
When he got back, he started his own work. Day and night, now... Finally, the first super cannon... Four cannon barrels were reattached, and the subsidiary bodies were built. He welcomed his first experiment in high spirits, and also invited Qin Guan to take a look.2
He was not sure whether Qin Guan could come or not, but if Qin Guan came, it would be easier for him to apply for funding after seeing it.
However, it was not easy to find Qin Guan. Qin Guan's contact information was even rarer, so he could only pass through Elementary Scholars. Elementary Scholars were like a filter, filtering out large amounts of information and finding places worthy of Qin Guan to go.
Qin Guan liked to be a hands-off manager. Qin Guan trusted his assistants. It was best to let Elementary Scholars do the job of filtering. Qin Guan was in charge of guiding the country. In fact, he was just pretending to be cool.
Now, after hearing the Elementary Scholars say that the super cannon had been created, Dr. Boole impatiently planned to test it out. Of course, Qin Guan was overjoyed and immediately made a decision.
"Of course we have to go. If we want to fly into space, we don't have to use rockets. Shooting with this kind of cannon is also a way. Since Dr. Boole has already made it, of course we have to go and take a look."
After saying that, Qin Guan looked at his brother-in-law. "Chen Rui, if you feel that flying here is too boring, you can come with me to take a look. The launch of the super cannon is another kind of magnificent sight."
Go? The Jet Twenty test flight here had ended. They had finished shooting the target. He had to return to Flight Test Institute again. According to Qin Guan's plan, next would be the research and development of voice recognition and other systems. In the past few months, he had nothing else to do. Since that was the case... It would be good to go and see the super cannon.
"Let's go and take a look." Since Qin Guan had brought it up, Chen Rui had to go. He would use the cannon, launch the satellite, and fly into space. Chen Rui had never thought of this before. It was a science fiction thing.
That's right. Launching satellites with cannons was a science fiction. In the earliest days, it was 1865. At that time, a novelist by the name of Verne... He wrote a science fiction novel, From Earth to the Moon. It talked about three people riding a hollow cannon. The story of a giant cannon being fired to the Moon.
In the magic show, there was a project of cannon launchers. However, those cannons were all used to compress air, so there was not much overload inside. Ordinary cannons were fired, but the overload was so strong that it was hard to tell if ordinary people could withstand it.
More than a hundred years ago, the aerospace industry at that time had yet to begin. Using cannons to launch spaceships required enough imagination. Even now, it was still a childish fantasy.
However, this fantasy had another characteristic, and that was boorish!
When Chen Rui arrived in front of the super cannon for the first time, other than shock, he was also shocked. No wonder there were people who liked the super cannon. When they saw it, this kind of huge shock was incomparable!
"I'm very happy. President Qin, for you to be able to come here, this is the greatest encouragement for us." Wearing the same military coat, he wrapped himself in it. The hair on Dr. Boole's forehead was fluttering in the wind.
Dr. Boole's super cannon base was also on the desert. After all, it was dangerous to research such a super cannon. Only in the open wilderness, far away from the densely populated areas, could it be used. However, this brought another disadvantage.
There was no way to keep anyone alive.
After more than ten years of development, the country was flourishing. In the big cities, buildings were built one after another, and all kinds of public facilities were becoming more and more perfect. It attracted a large number of young people. For those people, for those people, big cities were very attractive. Who would come to such a desert? In their words, this was a place where birds didn't poop. Even birds don't want to fly over.
Only military workers, for the military development of the motherland, would hide their identities and continue to persist in this place. They used their lives to write their loyalty to the motherland.
Dr. Boole's base did not have a lot of people, less than a hundred. Most of them were people who had participated in the secret project of the super cannon back in the country. Therefore, the old man took up more than half of the research team. There were not many young men. At the same time, there were dozens of artillery men. They were in charge of controlling the cannon, but these soldiers were all young men. Now, they were making the final preparations next to the cannon.
"Dr. Boole, you are really rude." Qin Guan looked at the huge cannon with the same shock on his face. For Dr. Boole, if there were good things, he would have to use them all.
The cannon that Dr. Boole built in Barbados was connected to the Naval Gun of the two navy armies. It was less than 40 meters long, and it was all the resources that could be given to him at that time. And now, Dr. Boole had brought back nine cannons. After careful inspection, two of the cannons had some internal damage. They did not meet the requirements, so they gave up. The remaining seven cannons... All of them were welded together by Dr. Boole.
The welding of these super cannons required very high technology. To ensure that the welding strength was the same as before, there must not be any reduction. The rifleline inside must be aligned, not a single deviation, and the welded central axis must not have the slightest error. After Dr. Boole obtained these super cannons, according to the previous research and development processes, he successfully welded them and became such a heaven defying super cannon.
Its length reached 130 meters! If it wasn't for the suspension bridge like rope at the top of the barrel, people would easily think that it was a long pipeline.
That's right, it looked like a pipeline, but the structure on it... It was used to increase the strength of the barrel itself, so that the barrel wouldn't bend under the influence of gravity when it was too heavy. The huge additional reinforcement system clearly indicated that it was a super cannon.
There was an iron track on the base of the cannon, and it wanted to move such a super cannon. Now, its two iron tracks were vertical. In this way, by turning the motorcycles on both sides, the direction of the cannon could be adjusted. As the inventor of the entire system, when Dr. Boole designed these things, he didn't waste too much time, because these devices... He had been thinking about them for a long time.
Hearing Qin Guan's words, Dr. Boole smiled. With so many good things, of course he had to use them immediately.
"How far can it go?" Chen Rui asked.
"How far, how far. In my plan, it can already reach the speed of the first universe." Dr. Boole said.
What? Qin Guan's breathing immediately quickened when he heard this.
