Chapter 391 Electromagnetic Railgun

The four giant ships rushed past like reckless men. After the three Panamanian coast guard ships luckily escaped, they immediately used the machine guns on the ships to shoot at these strange ships. // Fastest update //

I saw little flashes of light flashing on the hulls of these ships, but there was no damage at all. The machine gun fire was just like tickling them.

"Cannon! Beat them with cannon!" The small-caliber rapid-fire cannons on several coast guard ships immediately opened fire on one of the ships.

"Da da..." A series of gunfire hit the hull of the ship, and there was a violent explosion on the hull.

On the cruiser, the female goblin asked Fang Shijie in confusion: "Why don't you fight back?"

Fang Shijie smiled and said: "With a fly like this, is there any need to fight back?"

Fang Shijie was actually showing off the powerful protective power of his cruisers. He knew that all the armor protection capabilities of these cruisers were much stronger than those of the two aircraft carriers. With just a few small guns in Panama, it was impossible to attack them.

They cause harm.

Burning with rage, several Panamanian coast guard ships shot down all their ammunition almost without interruption, but those huge ships continued to rush away as if they didn't care.

.

"Damn it! Why are the skins of these monsters so thick?" a Panamanian coast guard said in shock and anger.

Another coast guard seemed to be the leader. He immediately took out his phone and called for support from the brigade.

In fact, Panama had already deployed police forces on the nearby shore. When they saw these strange ships starting to break in, and the coast guard ships were helpless, they immediately opened fire.

Although Panama does not have an army, it does have armed police and armored vehicles. The armored vehicles are also equipped with small and medium-caliber artillery.

Suddenly, more than a dozen cannons on the shore opened fire on the four strange ships. The dense shells roared and hit various parts of these strange ships. Suddenly, the sound of the cannons rumbled and the sound was loud.

On this busy canal, various passenger ships and merchant ships started fighting. They all ran away very fast, trying to leave this place of right and wrong as quickly as possible.

However, while they were driving fast, they also had time to watch the excitement. This was a rare war scene.

"Wow! These boats were badly beaten! Flowers bloomed everywhere. Now they are useless! What a beautiful boat! What a pity, what a pity!"

"Hey, why do I feel something is wrong! You see, their ship is round after all, with no gaps at all. These cannonballs hit it for a long time. I don't see any damage to them!"

The shells exploded on the hulls, decks, superstructures, etc. of these ships, and the smoke billowed. It looked as if they had been beaten out of shape.

But when the sound of the cannons gradually faded, everyone looked through the smoke of the explosion and saw that except for the lingering smoke of the explosion, these boats seemed to be intact.

"What a solid boat! Oh my god! It has been hit by so many cannonballs and there is no damage at all. This is really amazing!" The spectators screamed in surprise.

"Let me tell you! You see, it seems to have a solid shell on the outside. Oh my god! The bulging superstructure on top of it is also covered in thick armor!"

When Fang Shijie asked Banshee to design this type of cruiser, he had fully considered its protective capabilities. Under normal circumstances, the most vulnerable parts of this type of cruiser are the ability to withstand naval guns up to 125 mm.

Of course, the protection of the hull and other parts is not to mention. Naval guns under 450 mm cannot even penetrate its steel plate.

Very few contemporary ships are equipped with guns larger than 120 mm, let alone guns larger than 450 mm.

In other words, if the Panamanian police force wants to break through the weakest armor on these cruisers, they must at least use the main gun on the main battle tank.

But Panama has no army at all, so how can it get cannons of more than 100 mm?

The Panamanian police were stunned by the powerful defenses of these boats. They did not expect that they were not even afraid of cannons, so how could they stop them?

After Panamanian senior officials received the news, they were shocked and immediately discussed countermeasures.

Find a few ships to stop them? This doesn't seem possible. Seeing how amazing the protective power of these strange ships is, even if they take two 10,000-ton giant ships, they will probably be smashed to pieces.

Continue to send police units to attack? But they don’t have large-caliber artillery. Wouldn’t it be a waste of time if they go there?

It was only then that Panamanian senior leaders deeply realized how miserable a country without an army is!

"Ask the Americans for support! Damn it! Why haven't the two American warships moved yet?"

While the Panamanian government was urgently studying countermeasures, Fang Shijie's cruisers were passing through the canal calmly. When the merchant ships and cargo ships saw them, they immediately hid aside and made way for them.

"Well! This is what it feels like to go on a rampage! Shooting? Isn't that bullying other children?" Fang Shijie enjoyed this feeling very much.

The footage of Fang Shijie's four giant ships ramming in the Panama Canal, and the footage of the Panamanian police bombing them indiscriminately, were soon spread to all parts of the world through channels.

"What kind of monsters are these? Are they not afraid of cannon fire?" Countless people were surprised by this.

"Oh my God! Are the battleships from World War II back? They are thicker than the skin of the battleships!"

The Chinese people, on the other hand, looked at the four giant ships in the picture with unlimited expectations. They had vaguely guessed who was most likely to end up with these giant ships.

"If it really comes from China, that would be great! Just looking at its defensive power is scary enough. As for its firepower, I think it will definitely not disappoint."

"You guys think, why didn't these warships fire back? I think it's probably because they were afraid of scaring the kid in Panama?! Haha..."

Among these spectators, the happiest ones were the old guys from the Chinese military who knew the inside story in detail. After seeing the unparalleled defense capabilities of these warships, they were all excited.

"When we deal with those small countries in the future, if we just ram a warship like this, we can destroy their navy!"

"It's amazing! If you say its hull can block the enemy's artillery fire, that's fair, but how come the defensive power of the buildings above it is so amazing! It's really terrifying!"

"It is so reassuring to have such a cruiser provide protection for our aircraft carrier!"

Just when Fang Shijie's warships were cruising through the Panama Canal, a powerful enemy finally arrived.

After the Panamanian government repeatedly requested assistance from the Americans, the Americans finally made some move.

Two U.S. warships are anchored at the eastern entrance of the Panama Canal, one is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer and the other is a Perry-class frigate.

The Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are the main battleships of the United States. They are all equipped with the Aegis system and have theater air defense capabilities. The United States has built more than 60 such warships, and it is also the only destroyer model in active service in the United States.

The strong military strength of the United States has been greatly reflected in the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. When some countries are complacent about getting only one or two or three or four Aegis system warships, they should also think about how many ships the Americans have.

Such a battleship.

Just like Japan. The backbone of their naval fleet is based on four Kongang-class Aegis destroyers. Their Eighty-Eight Fleet or Ninety Fleet, each fleet has a Kongang-class destroyer, which is the entire

The core of the fleet.

It is these four advanced Kong-class Aegis destroyers that have allowed the Japanese navy to maintain an absolute advantage over China for a long time.

Of course, since China developed its own Aegis destroyer, the advantage of the Japanese navy has gradually been offset. This also shows from the side how important this kind of theater air defense destroyer is.

As for the United States, the total number of warships like theirs has reached more than sixty, which shows how powerful the United States navy has reached.

Although the United States has a large number of advanced warships, their battle lines are too long and cover almost the entire earth. Therefore, this also makes their strength in some areas somewhat weak.

For example, right now, the United States has deployed only one Arleigh Burke-class destroyer near the Panama Canal, and the other is just a Perry-class frigate.

Compared with the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, the Perry-class frigate is much weaker. Although it also has air defense, anti-submarine and anti-ship capabilities, it is a multi-functional warship. However, due to its early commissioning, it has become the most powerful warship in the US Navy.

Auxiliary ships can no longer take on any important tasks.

Fang Shijie's four cruisers were undoubtedly a thorn in the flesh of the Americans. After seeing that Panama had not tested them out, the Americans finally took it upon themselves to test whether they were China's so-called donkeys of Guizhou.

Donkeys in Guizhou can only scream loudly, and the Americans also want to see if these strange ships only have high defense power and are just old buffaloes with strong skin and flesh.

This attack by the Americans was nothing short of ferocious.

Eight Harpoon anti-ship missiles were launched from the Perry-class frigate. These missiles have a range of 130 kilometers and can almost directly attack from one end of the Panama Canal to the other end of the Panama Canal.

At the same time, eight Harpoon anti-ship missiles were also launched from the Ali Burke-class destroyer. A total of 16 anti-ship missiles were launched from the two warships, respectively attacking Fang Shijie's four cruisers.

.

In fact, the Americans are not paying much attention to the research of anti-ship missiles. Although the technology of this Harpoon anti-ship missile is relatively mature, because it was developed decades ago, its attack efficiency is still not good despite many improvements in the later period.

Very satisfying.

While the Soviet Union already has supersonic anti-ship missiles with high penetration capabilities, the United States is still using subsonic Harpoon missiles and is not in a hurry to develop newer anti-ship missiles.

Of course, this is related to the strategic thinking and war thinking of the Americans. The Americans mainly rely on air strike power. They rely on powerful aircraft carrier groups to suppress all enemies. Most of the time, the Americans do not have the opportunity to engage in pure naval battles with their enemies.

Not much. Because of this, the Americans have relaxed their research on anti-ship missiles and used more funds to develop fighter projects and space projects.

Even subsonic anti-ship missiles are extremely deadly to ordinary warships. It is easy to launch missiles, but not so easy to intercept missiles. In the face of a saturation attack, as long as one breaks through the interception network, it will be fatal to the defense.

It will be a huge disaster for all parties.

After Fang Shijie heard the warning of a missile attack, he immediately ordered an interception. At the same time, he ordered the warship to immediately turn around and prepare to attack the enemy.

Four huge warships that were advancing at high speed suddenly made a spin in the slightly narrow canal and became sideways in the river.

At the same time, something with a strange shape suddenly emerged from the round spherical shell of the superstructure of these four battleships.

This long thing that resembled a double-barreled gun barrel rotated flexibly, and then moved slightly, as if it was doing an aiming action.

Suddenly, at the root of the double-barreled gun barrel, a group of faint blue light flashed, which looked a little weird and a little dazzling.

Many people saw this scene and didn't know what it was. However, they finally saw something new happening with these strange ships, and they all wanted to take a sneak peek.

People on the nearby boats and on the shore were holding their mobile phones or cameras to focus on this strange scene.

In the distance, a dozen anti-ship missiles trailing flames were flying towards them. Only when they saw these missiles did the audience know that another fight was about to begin.

"They can withstand attacks from small-caliber artillery, but they can't even withstand missiles, right?"

"That strange thing, isn't it a double-barreled artillery? Can it intercept those missiles? Isn't this somewhat impossible?"

"What the hell is that shiny thing at the base of that double-barreled cannon?

Just as everyone had a flash of thought, they saw the faint light at the base of the double-barreled cannons protruding from these strange ships suddenly flickered sharply.

Everyone's eyes were dazzled as the double-barreled guns suddenly ejected streams of bright light. These bright lights were like lightning, shooting straight at the anti-ship missiles flying in the distance.

"Oh my god! Lightning cannon? Is this a lightning cannon?"

"Oh no! I think I saw the legendary electromagnetic gun!"

"Yes! Electromagnetic gun! Electromagnetic rail gun!"

The electromagnetic railgun is actually not a new thing. It has been nearly a hundred years since its invention.

The rail gun is an advanced kinetic energy killing weapon made using electromagnetic launch technology. Unlike traditional cannons that apply gunpowder gas pressure to projectiles, the rail gun uses the force of the electromagnetic field in the electromagnetic system, and its action time is much longer.

More can greatly increase the speed and range of projectiles.

The electromagnetic railgun has some outstanding advantages: first, the projectile speed is fast, the accuracy is high, the range is long, and the power is high.

Theoretically, the speed of the electromagnetic railgun can reach sub-light speed, and the projectiles with huge kinetic energy will destroy the target by directly hitting it, which is extremely powerful.

Of course, with the current technology on earth, the maximum speed of the rail gun developed is only a few kilometers per second.

Due to its extremely high flight speed, the rail gun can reduce the flight time of the projectile, making the projectile less susceptible to interference and ensuring the accuracy of the projectile.

In addition, the shells are small in size and light in weight. Electromagnetic artillery shells use almost no propellant, reducing the amount of powder charged. Therefore, the shells are small in size and weigh one-tenth of the weight of ordinary artillery shells. This can significantly improve the performance of the weapon system.

Carry more ammunition and reduce logistical burden.

Fang Shijie's cruisers are equipped with dozens of such electromagnetic rails. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest
