The so-called electromagnetic rapid-fire gun is actually similar in principle to the triple-mounted main gun.

This is equivalent to reducing the caliber a lot, setting it at a caliber of twenty millimeters.

Then it is similar to Gatling, integrating twelve tubes into one.

After the first barrel is fired, the second barrel will be connected immediately. After the twelve barrels are fired in sequence, the first barrel has been fully charged.

And the advantage of doing this is that the barrel can also get a certain cooling time.

After all, current technology cannot yet support ultra-high-speed, unrestricted shooting of battery weapons.

The energy is too much and the temperature is too high.

Furthermore, the rate of fire is not as exaggerated as that of the traditional Gatling. For the sake of safety, Wang Chen finally set the rate of fire at 800 rounds per minute in the regular mode. The rate of fire doubled in the unlocked mode, but it can only last up to three seconds.

minute.

Of course, even though the rate of fire has been reduced a lot, as a kinetic energy weapon, its accuracy and hit rate are far beyond what the previous Gatling can match.

By combining it with satellite guidance, as long as it is locked, with the bullet flying speed of this thing, once a coverage net is formed, there is basically no room to dodge.

There was not much difficulty in assembly. It only took Wang Chen about half a month to debug the first twelve-unit electromagnetic high-speed cannon.

The actual test results are very good.

In order to test the effectiveness, the Navy organized about 80 specialized unmanned target drones to simulate a surprise attack from a point.

The final result was that this high-speed gun shot down a total of forty-three, and most of the remaining ones were injured.

Although not all of them were destroyed, don't forget that this is just a high-speed cannon.

If there are hundreds of firepower nets combined, let alone eighty, even eight hundred will probably be enough.

Moreover, the ammunition used was conventional ammunition, not the more destructive three-way explosive.

That thing was really too expensive, even with Wang Chen's wealth, he couldn't afford to waste it.

Eight hundred rounds per minute. All the bullets fired are money.

The testing process went very smoothly. After all, it is a relatively mature technology and the possibility of problems is not high.

But just when Wang Chen was thinking about assembling the first triple electromagnetic main gun, the spare parts he needed were already sent over one after another.

It can be seen that there is a lot of attention paid to technology. After all, Wang Chen gave a full two-month construction period, but it has only been less than three weeks, and many small parts have already been shipped over.

The rest are expected to be produced soon.

Wang Chen inquired about it, and it turned out that in order to shorten the gap with Yingjiang as quickly as possible, the superiors specifically assigned three military factories to take charge of this project.

If you need money, you need people to give people. With this kind of support, the production speed will definitely not slow down.

Not to mention that Wang Chen provided complete sets of drawings, so production alone was not too difficult.

——

And just when Wang Chen was looking at a pile of spare parts in a daze.

Far away in the space center of the imperial capital, it was quite quiet at this time.

It was obvious that everyone in the control room looked unhappy.

Just now, they controlled Yutu 2, which was traveling on the moon, to a new coordinate location.

This task has been carried out for some time.

After the archeology of Da Mao's house discovered the black-and-white photo, the superiors decided to send Yutu No. 2 to check it out after discussion.

The coordinates used as the location are not too far away from Yutu 2, but due to the performance of Yutu's body, it took a lot of time.

However, just two days ago, when Yutu 2 was approaching the coordinates as planned, it suddenly received a strange signal.

Nothing was found through deciphering, it seemed to be some messy signal sources.

This is normal, maybe it's just because of changes in the magnetic field.

Everyone did not pay attention to this problem and let Yutu 2 continue to move forward.

After walking for another day or so, Yutu 2 received this signal again, and it was more obvious than before.

This has caught everyone's attention.

After all, a period of messy signals doesn't mean much, but if the same messy signal is received for two consecutive days, there will be a problem.

Thinking of that black and white photo, everyone including the space director became a little excited.

Although they couldn't crack it, they still urged the operators to rush to the coordinate point.

If there is really something hidden there, then as the boss of the space agency, he must find out.

However, until this afternoon, Yutu never received that signal again.

Just when everyone was a little confused, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the camera of Yutu 2 suddenly captured something.

This is a place similar to a basin, surrounded by barren sand.

And right in front, a strange bright light suddenly shot out from a rock.

This phenomenon was accurately captured by the camera and transmitted back to the control center.

After a few minutes of discussion, the boss of the space agency decided to move over and take a look.

However, this decision caused them to lose contact with Yutu 2 five minutes later.

Now the big guy was a little panicked.

Yutu-2 is the most important lunar rover they currently have.

Especially now it is also responsible for surveying and mapping the lunar terrain.

It will also have to be used to make preliminary preparations for base site selection after future moon landings.

Once contact is lost, the entire moon landing plan will be greatly affected.

After trying more than a dozen times to determine that Yutu 2 could not be contacted, the boss of the space agency decisively reported the situation to the above.

Although they can't control the Jade Rabbit, they don't take the blame for it.

After all, it is a task assigned by the superiors. If there is really any problem over there, then Yutu 2 itself has taken a lot of risks in the past.

The authorities also immediately dispatched experts to check.

Finally, after a series of attempts, they discovered that although the connection with Yutu 2 had been interrupted, strangely, the base's letter was still connected to Yutu 2's internal system.

To put it simply, the signal they sent out can find the Jade Rabbit, but the internal system of the Jade Rabbit does not have any feedback.

This situation is somewhat serious, and they are not sure whether it is caused by mechanical reasons or other reasons.

But as of now, they have indeed lost control of Yutu 2.

After receiving the news, the above also considered the needs.

As the second-generation lunar lander, Yutu 2 has put countless efforts into it.

Moreover, this lunar rover is also known for its longevity. It has already exceeded its expected service time over the years, and previous tests have always shown that the internal system is very normal.

It's impossible to say that the hardware was damaged without any warning, right? And it was so completely damaged?

But if the hardware is not damaged, what is the advantage?

Or is there really something wrong with that black and white photo?

The boss was also deep in thought at this time.
Chapter completed!
