2452: C2452 Success and Failure

C2452 Success and Failure

When the cannons appeared in human history, the various officers and heads of state were particularly obsessed with the cannons, and the scene of the cannons being fired was enough to shock people to the extreme.1

On the ground, the largest caliber of the 155mm cannons was fired. The sound of the firing was enough to shake the heavens and earth. When these 46mm cannons were fired on the ground, it was like the earth was collapsing and the sun and moon lost their luster!

This was also the first time Qin Guan felt it. Although he had seen battleships firing on television before, he had never felt it before. Although it was also a scene now, it was still a scene. However, the ground beneath his feet was trembling, and the image on the wall was shaking. In his ears, there was a roar that was difficult to accept. This kind of feeling was something that couldn't be understood just by watching television.

Even Dr. Boole's expression changed. He did not expect that the cannon barrel would be lengthened and the medicine developed with modern technology would be so powerful!

If he did not come in, he was afraid that he would be injured outside. This kind of huge shock wave could damage his internal organs when it hit his body. This was too scary, right?

The entire ground was covered in smoke. A part of the smoke belonged to the cannon muzzle. A part of the smoke was from the blast door, blowing up the surrounding smoke and dust. In short, nothing could be seen anymore. The scene was a blur. It even gave Dr. Boole the illusion that his cannon had exploded, right? So heroic?

Fortunately, the sharp north wind blew away the smoke very quickly. The outline of the super cannon appeared in front of him again. Everything remained the same. It was still as majestic as before, and it was still his cannon.

Dr. Boole suddenly turned his head and ran out with big steps. He could not wait to see what would happen after the cannon was fired.

The firing of the cannon was very spectacular. After the shot, there would be another very important task, which was to wipe the barrel of the cannon. If it was not wiped clean, the next shot might blow up the barrel. It was very difficult to wipe a cannon that was more than a hundred meters long. Fortunately, the cannon was thick enough that the thin man could crawl in and wipe it. He made the cannon slightly raise its angle and drill in through the muzzle. He could wipe it all the way back.

Dr. Boole had been looking forward to the cannon with a diameter of one meter. He had thought about it from many perspectives. After it was thick, it was easier to wipe the cannon barrel. Besides, if it was a new cannon, it could be made into a smooth bore without any rifleship. It would be even easier to wipe it off.

Qin Guan did not immediately run out. Just after the artillery shell was fired, the tracking data for the later stages also began.

The ground control net discovered this high-speed flying object. After taking off from the ground, it immediately reached a speed of 7000 meters per second. As it flew, it continued to accelerate, accelerating, and the rocket engine at its tail kept pushing it. It continued to increase its speed, height, speed, and trajectory. When it reached the highest point, if the speed was appropriate, it would be a satellite. If it was not suitable, then the cannonball would fall again.

Would it work to use cannons to launch a satellite? If the experiments that cost a lot of money were always failed, it would inevitably lead to criticism. Especially in the aerospace system, some old comrades could not think straight.

This was from the development of the hydrogen oxygen engine back then. Some old comrades were afraid of failure. After blocking this project, after the first launch failed, there were even more sounds. Fortunately, Qin Guan's support gave the designers confidence. Later on, the consecutive success made these doubts disappear.

Now, they were going to use cannons to launch satellites. That would be snatching the jobs of rocket experts. Everyone knew that... The rocket structure was complicated, and it cost a lot of money. The cost of one launch was very high. As for the cannons, it was very easy to fire them once. This was definitely a low-cost aerospace launch method. Once it succeeded, it would cause an earthquake in the entire industry.

Therefore, the rocket experts had their doubts. If this experiment failed, their objections would be even more intense. Qin Guan was looking forward to the development of the experiment.

"The data seems to be not bad at the moment." Qin Guan said. He didn't know anything else. He only needed to look at the curve on the screen and the degree of similarity between the predicted theoretical curve. Now the scene had been switched to this one.

"Yeah, it looks like it's going to be a success."

If it was an ordinary cannonball, after it was fired, the speed of the cannon would become smaller and smaller, and the speed of the cannon firing would be greater than eight thousand meters per second. Only then would it be possible to reach the speed of the first universe. However, the current artillery shell is a rocket booster, after going out, it can continue to accelerate. On the other hand, during the ignition process of the rocket booster, the mass is constantly reducing, according to the most basic kinetic energy formula, it could be seen that its speed would increase... Now... Under these effects, the cannonballs continued to fly into the sky. Flying.

"It has reached the expected speed. Launch successful!" Scholar Cai was also nervously looking at the image. Finally, he shouted, Success! Even a layman could tell that this launch was a success!

"Quick, find a radio and listen to his broadcast." Qin Guan said.

This kind of thing. It was a low-Earth satellite, and it circled around the planet. It only took eighty-four minutes, so when it reaches the top of our heads... They should be able to hear the sound of the broadcast, right? The first artificial satellite in the Han Country was also like this.

"Wait, look, those numbers seem to be wrong, right?" The Elementary Scholar asked.

There were no aerospace experts present, and Dr. Boole had already run out to look at the cannon. It seemed to him that the cannon was more important than whether the satellite had entered orbit. As long as the cannon was intact, he could continue the experiment.

Now, the higher-ups were constantly sending back false information. What did that mean?

"Well, connect me to the control center." Qin Guan said, "Ask them about the situation over there."

Although they were all in the wilderness, the communications had already been laid out. The Elementary Scholar quickly made a call. When he finished understanding the situation, his face was also very ugly as he said to Qin Guan, "The control center did not detect any signal from this satellite. It might have been scrapped."

The launch was successful, but after it went up, it could not work. It was an out-and-out space waste.

Qin Guan felt a headache when he heard that. He fired the satellite with a cannon. Theoretically, there was a fatal factor. The initial acceleration was too great. The human body could forget about it, even if it was an electronic device. Under that kind of acceleration, it could malfunction. To put it in an inappropriate way, the current inside is formed by the flow of electrons. Under this acceleration, the direction of the electronic flow inside could change due to inertia. This way, the circuit would naturally lose its effectiveness.

"Let's go find Dr. Boole and talk about this problem." Qin Guan said. When Dr. Boole said that there was no problem with the Artillery missile, Qin Guan agreed. Now that he thought about it, although the principle was the same, the quantity was different. The acceleration inside the super cannon was much greater than the speed of the Artillery missile in the tank gun.
