2449: C2449 Dreams Come True

C2449 Dreams Come True

First cosmic speed, that's a threshold to get a satellite to launch into the sky. If you want a satellite to orbit around a planet and not fall down, then you need a satellite to have enough speed... This speed is the first cosmic speed, smaller than this speed. It was like a cannon firing a cannonball, no matter how far it flew. In the end, it still fell down.2

Now, Dr. Boole said that this cannon could reach the speed of the first universe. Of course, it shocked Qin Guan. If that was the case, did that mean that it could really use this thing to launch satellites?

"Then, when the cannon is fired, can it reach such a speed?" Qin Guan continued to ask. If the cannon could reach this speed from the muzzle, then he would need to continue to slow down when he left the atmosphere. If he went out, his speed would not be enough, and he would have to fall down.

Dr. Boole shook his head. "When the muzzle was fired, its speed was still a little slow, so we were going to fire a rocket booster. Finally, with the help of the rocket's power, it pushed the cannonball to the first speed of the universe. It just so happens to be the time to exit space. "

Qin Guan nodded. That was more like it. The rocket booster was a common type of large-caliber cannon. In order to increase the firing range, the bullet would be pushed by the rocket. The firing range of this kind of cannon could increase by about half.

"If this experiment is successful, we hope to build a cannon with a diameter of more than one meter. After all, the current caliber of this cannon is still relatively small. If we want to launch a satellite, the size of the satellite will be greatly limited. " Dr. Boole said. Now, their Great Chief Launcher's speed was enough, but his caliber was not enough. What kind of satellite could be fired with a diameter of 400 mm? The diameter of the satellite must be at least more than one meter, then it should be worth it, right? Moreover, if the barrel of the cannon was one meter, with enough ammunition to push the cannon, it would probably weigh about two tons, two tons of satellites. He was already a big guy in a satellite, so he had full practical value.

"So now, what are the cannonballs we're firing?" Qin Guan did not answer Dr. Boole's question. After all, he used the Naval Gun of the abandoned battleship to modify it. If they continued to build new cannons, it would be acceptable. The investment would be very high. It would be fine if there were results. If there were no results, it was just to satisfy the personal interests of the cannon genius. It would definitely not be worth it to invest a large sum of money to create a big toy for him.

Of course Qin Guan knew that ordinary Iowa class battleships used MK8 Type APC cannonballs. These cannonballs were quite large, weighing 1224 kilograms. 7kg, a ton of artillery shells, one cannonball. A basketball court will turn into a terrifying crater, and the people nearby will be killed. It was just that it was so powerful, and the terrifying power of this cannon... It was also something that some war maniacs liked the most, just in terms of length. A warhead was 182 centimeters long, the same height as a tall man. Including the launch drug, it would exceed the height of two people!

Now, what kind of situation would it be if a satellite was launched? So what if it was a warhead this time?

"According to our calculations, if we want to use this cannon to launch the artillery shells, at the speed of the first universe, the warhead of the cannon cannot weigh more than a hundred kilograms." Dr. Boole said, "So, we specially made a simple warhead. It had a thick layer of metal on the outside, and there was only a simple instrument on the inside. Heavens! After that... A broadcast will be broadcasted to the world."

Speaking of this, it immediately reminded Qin Guan of the first artificial satellite in Han Country. This artificial satellite was broadcasted, and the current Dr. Boole... He was only researching cannons, but he was definitely an amateur in the field of satellite research. Therefore, it was enough for the satellite to be able to broadcast after it ascended to the sky.

"Broadcast what?" Qin Guan asked.

"Super cannon, launch the satellite. Dr. Boole, dream come true." Dr. Boole said seriously.

Instantly, everyone on the scene tried their best to hold back their laughter. This was the way the Westerners thought. In China, the ancient culture taught people to be humble, but in the West, they were all proud and arrogant. At this time, Dr. Boole naturally wanted to show his contribution.

Qin Guan nodded. "Alright, let's do it this way."

The country did not attach any importance to this project. It was Qin Guan who had created it. Now, Dr. Boole wanted to use the cannon to launch the satellite to make a name for himself, so it was better to make him famous.

"However, do you need the help of our aerospace control network?" Qin Guan asked.

In the Parallel Spacetime, the Northern Kimchi Country was quite arrogant. From time to time, they would conduct some nuclear experiments and launch missiles. Especially using the name of launching satellites to conduct missile experiments. However, although they can launch, they don't have the ability to detect and control... Of course, they didn't have to worry. As long as they launched it, they wouldn't succeed. Soon, the Surveying Vessel from the Y Country would be measured. If they only knew how to launch it and couldn't monitor it, then it wouldn't be a perfect Aerospace Technology.

Now, Dr. Boole was also going to launch a satellite. Was there a need to monitor and control it?

Dr. Boole shook his head. "No need. Our cannonballs do not need any control."

This was a cannonball, not a rocket. The process of firing a rocket was cumbersome. A few level rockets fell off one after another and started a second ignition in the air. Using a giant cannon to launch a satellite, that was one thing. Fire, success, it was that simple. After firing the cannonballs, even if the mission was completed, there was no need to control it, so there was no need to trouble the space Surveying Vessel. However, if the space agency could monitor it, that would be even better.

"Then, what if the launch fails? Will it fall?" Qin Guan asked. If it couldn't reach the speed, it would definitely fall down. If it fell down, where would it fall to?

"We will not fail, I am sure." Dr. Boole was very confident. To him, nothing was out of his consideration. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Let's carefully plan the direction of the launch." Qin Guan said, "If it is launched directly to the east, and it lands in the capital, or the gathering area of the nearby people, then it will be very troublesome."

Even if the cannonball was less than 100 kg, the impact of it falling would be disastrous. Therefore, this test shot was definitely not a child's play. If there was an accident, Qin Guan would not be able to bear the responsibility.

"Yeah, if our cannon can be moved to the coast, then once it fails, the cannonball will also fall to the pacific ocean. That will be much safer." The Elementary Scholar said from the side.

They were now in the west, and firing toward the east was too dangerous. However, the planet's rotation was from the west to the east. So, most of the rocket launches are also from the west to the east. Make full use of the line speed brought by the rotation.

The cannon could not be moved. When it was welded into a monster like this, it could only stay there.
