Chapter 146: Electromagnetic Catapults and Electromagnetic Railguns

Zhang Wen kept throwing stones into the air.

Looking at the dense wires in front of him.

Zhang Wen and a group of Qingtianchang engineers.

Last night, it took an entire night to install it properly.

Looking into the distance.

He saw Professor Dou coming over.

"Why did you come too?"

Zhang Wen said.

"Came to cheer you on!"

Professor Dou said.

"Hahaha! Good!"

Zhang Wen laughed.

Subsequently, Zhang Wen used a vehicle to tie up an aircraft model.

Choosing a fifteen-ton aircraft model.

Then transported it to the runway.

Tied on the catapult device.

Looking to the side of the runway.

The batteries on the ground were already fully charged.

Zhang Wen had them enter the safe house first.

Then he came into the safe house.

Seeing Zhang Wen, Professor Dou asked, "How come you built a safe house too?"

"Electromagnetic catapults are much safer than steam catapults."

"Hey, safety first."

Zhang Wen said casually.

Subsequently, he took out the control device.

Pressed the catapult button.

With a faint sound of electric current ringing out.

The coils lit up one by one.

The aircraft instantly accelerated from 0 to 500 km/h.

Directly taking off.

This scene truly stunned everyone.

"Awesome!"

"666!"

Professor Dou's students cheered.

And Professor Dou looked at Zhang Wen in disbelief.

A few words spilled out of his wide-open mouth.

"Success on the first try?"

"This is just too godlike!"

"Normal, we at Qingtianchang have been playing with electricity for how many years."

Zhang Wen didn't look back and said.

And he was now carefully watching the speed and trajectory of the speed every second during the catapult process.

And the battery level.

"Continue!"

Zhang Wen said.

"The battery level is now at eighty percent. Among which, energy recovery recovered three percent of the electricity."

"Drag four more over for me."

Zhang Wen instructed.

Subsequently, the Qingtianchang engineers hurriedly dragged four more over.

Second aircraft, catapult successful.

Third aircraft, catapult successful.

Fourth aircraft, catapult successful.

But when the fifth aircraft was catapulted.

The battery level was only at fifteen percent.

Zhang Wen didn't hesitate and pressed the catapult button again.

He saw the aircraft still accelerating, but when it accelerated to near takeoff speed.

The speed slowed down.

The aircraft didn't fly up, but kept gliding until it came to a complete stop.

"It seems it can only be catapulted when it's above twenty percent."

Zhang Wen hurriedly noted it down.

Although this situation is rare.

But once it happens, it is bound to be a big deal.

After all, if frequent catapults are used, besides testing and something big happening, Zhang Wen couldn't think of anything else.

This sentence completely stimulated Professor Dou.

Professor Dou now had the heart to kill Zhang Wen.

He had been exhausted and stayed here for more than half a year.

To be able to complete one catapult successfully.

And Zhang Wen had only been here for a few days, not even a week, and had successfully completed four catapults.

"What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Wen saw that Professor Dou's complexion was a bit bad.

And asked.

"Nothing, nothing, I'm going out to clear my head."

Professor Dou felt stifled watching Zhang Wen's humble-bragging behavior and went out directly to get some air.

And Zhang Wen watched Professor Dou go out with a confused face.

Had to continue writing down the records.

"On a warship, if the turbine is used to supply power directly, such a large power consumption will definitely cause tension in the entire ship's power supply."

"Can only use battery energy storage."

"Through battery energy storage, the way the turbine supplies power to the battery can ensure the power supply of the entire ship."

"In this case, there are only two ways."

"Make the battery bigger, or speed up the charging."

"Or make two sets of cycles, one of which is low on power, the other can take over, and it can also be used for emergencies."

Zhang Wen wrote in his notebook.

Subsequently, Zhang Wen walked out of the safe house.

At this moment, those students of Professor Dou had already left with Professor Dou.

And Zhang Wen took the Qingtianchang engineers, except for the personnel left behind.

Came to the other side of the base.

There was a mountain here.

One could intuitively feel the power of the cannonball.

The equipment was already prepared.

It was generally similar to the electromagnetic catapult device over there.

But the only difference between here and the electromagnetic catapult.

Was that after the catapult's energy recovery device was removed, it was made into the shape of a cannon barrel.

Because Zhang Wen didn't give the barrel any decoration.

Now the barrel was densely packed with a bunch of coils.

After Zhang Wen came over, he placed a solid large iron ball onto the launch device.

It wasn't that Zhang Wen didn't want to fix up a shell.

It was just that current shells all have electronic devices to a greater or lesser extent.

And after passing through such an intense magnetic field, Zhang Wen really couldn't imagine any electronic device that could remain unscathed.

Zhang Wen had them hurry into the safe house.

And he himself turned on all the devices.

Afterwards, Zhang Wen himself also hid in the safe house.

Pressed the button.

Subsequently, a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering bombardment sound came.

Zhang Wen poked his head out.

Looking at the situation outside.

He saw that a large hole had been blown out of the mountain opposite by the shell.

Soil and rocks were still falling to the ground continuously.

But Zhang Wen was still not very satisfied with this result.

According to his calculations, this level of acceleration.

The shell should at least have been able to pierce through the mountain.

"Maybe the current electricity is really too weak."

"Should I switch to permanent magnets?"

Just as Zhang Wen was pondering.

Shaken by the bombardment sound.

Thinking it was under attack.

Sang Haoxuan, who hurriedly came over fully armed with his gear, had a confused face.

He looked at everything in front of him, and then looked at Zhang Wen.

Instantly understood what was going on.

Tentatively asked: "Factory Director Zhang."

"What is this?"

Zhang Wen was asked this and immediately retreated from his state of contemplation.

Said: "This is an electromagnetic railgun."

"It's also my experiment."

"Don't worry."

Sang Haoxuan heard this and instantly put his heart back into his stomach.

"That's good, that's good."

"Sigh, why didn't Professor Dou come?"

"Are they experimenting too?"

Zhang Wen asked curiously.

"Yes, they are still experimenting."

"Heard they want to break through fifteen tons this time."

Sang Haoxuan didn't hide it and said immediately.

"That's good."

"Should be okay."

Zhang Wen thought.

The carrier-based aircraft currently in service in Dongda is the J-15.

The situation in an empty-load state is only about seventeen or eighteen tons.

Can call it over to test first.

Subsequently, Zhang Wen said to Sang Haoxuan: "It's nothing."

"You take your people back first, you're fully armed like this."

"Good!" Sang Haoxuan saw that it was Zhang Wen who was causing the trouble, so he went back with peace of mind.

Then, Zhang Wen directly called Director Yang.

"Director Yang, I am Zhang Wen, the experiment here is about done."

"Whether it's electromagnetic or steam catapults, both are about ready to catapult aircraft of about twenty tons."

"Now is the time for real carrier-based aircraft experiments."

Soon, on the phone, Zhang Wen heard Director Yang's steady voice.

"Experiment approved. Pay attention to safety." ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
