"...So the laser weapon didn't achieve the desired effect?"

Phineas touched his chin and said that as a master of weapons design, he had to think more realistically.

The advantages of laser weapons are indeed obvious, but the disadvantages are also the same. It is difficult to increase the range. Once the distance is far away, it becomes a "flashlight".

It is not very realistic to reach the level of a gamma ray burst.

In comparison, the old method is actually very cost-effective, and the projectile encounters very little resistance after exiting the chamber in the outer space environment, and has a long range.

Phineas quickly got to work, pulling out a series of his own "amateur designs" from his library.

"Regarding kinetic energy cannons, I have ideas from three directions: rail guns, coil guns, and the reconnection gun I'm currently researching - but all three technologies have insurmountable shortcomings, and trade-offs need to be made."

All three are electromagnetic guns, but the design ideas are slightly different.

To put it simply, if you want to make a super electromagnetic gun, there are several difficulties that need to be solved:

The first point is that the cannonball and the cannon bore should be as non-contact as possible. This is easy to understand - once a projectile with extremely high speed comes into contact with the cannon bore, extremely severe friction and ablation will occur, and the hardware loss will be serious.

The second point is that the electronic circuit should be simplified as much as possible. This is also easy to understand. As a weapon, it should be as simple as possible, so that the reliability of the weapon can be guaranteed and the chain will not fail at critical moments-Why does everyone like AK?Just because it's reliable.

The third point is to overcome the back electromotive force.

The coil gun is the earliest electromagnetic gun proposed. It consists of an accelerating coil and a projectile coil. The principle is that the energized coil will generate a magnetic field, and a repulsive force will be generated between the magnetic field and the magnetic field. When the accelerating coil is supplied with alternating current, the alternating magnetic field will be in An induced current is generated in the projectile coil, and the magnetic field of the induced current interacts with the magnetic field of the accelerating coil to accelerate the accelerating coil to high speed.

The advantages of this mode are obvious. The projectile and the drive coil do not need to be in contact, there is almost no hardware loss, the design is also very simple, and it is convenient for multi-level acceleration.

But the shortcomings are also obvious. As the projectile speed increases, the back electromotive force in the system increases sharply, which is difficult to overcome. It will be difficult to increase the exit speed, and the projectile may even be pulled back.

The reconnection gun is a recently proposed concept: simply put, it uses the coil gun mode to accelerate, but cuts off the power when it is about to leave the magnetic field, and repeats this process to continuously accelerate the projectile.

In theory, it can perfectly overcome the first and third problems, but when the projectile reaches a speed of more than ten times the speed of sound or even higher, it is difficult to control the timing of power outage and the reliability is very low.

A railgun is an electromagnetic gun with two long energized rails in science fiction movies. When it is fired, the plasma armature behind the projectile is energized and continuously accelerated by the ampere force.

This method has the simplest structure. It can continue to accelerate while in orbit and is almost unaffected by the back electromotive force. It will only produce a very terrifying discharge phenomenon when it is discharged.

The only disadvantage of this mode is that the projectile will rub against the track, causing very serious friction and ablation.

Now that they are in space, Harry must consider that the faster the strike speed, the better. It is difficult for the coil gun to overcome the back electromotive force. The reconnection gun is too complicated and difficult to implement. The difficulty of implementation of both technologies will increase with the speed of the projectile. And grow geometrically.

Therefore, Harry is still more optimistic about the rail gun, and the rail gun can better control the exit speed and use the gravity of the star to achieve curved strikes.

"Actually, I also like this idea better - of course the faster the better, the current highest record of this thing is Mach 8." Phineas called up the latest experiment of the rail gun.

"If fired in space, the speed should be faster, the mass of the projectile can also be increased, and the exit kinetic energy should reach 50 megajoules."

Hearing this number, Harry frowned: This speed is completely insufficient, and the number of 50 megajoules is also a bit small.

Put on the earth, this level of electromagnetic gun is already considered cutting-edge, but put in space?Harry suspected that some spaceships could reach this speed, and it would be embarrassing if the shells could not catch up with the target.

But as Phineas said, the speed is too fast, and the barrel will probably be scrapped first.

Furthermore, the mass of the projectiles is also very small. Phineas's railgun is only a ten-megajoule weapon. After modification, it may barely reach the hundred-megajoule level.

If they want to increase speed, friction is a hurdle that cannot be overcome, and they need better materials.

Better materials... But no matter how good the material is, it cannot avoid the generation of friction unless it can create an absolutely smooth body - but that is not realistic.

Gotta find something magical.

Harry sat in his chair and thought - what other skills could he use?

"Sir, why don't you try wrapping the cannon bore with an energy force field? We can use Dr. Otto's force field generator to create an invisible cannon barrel to isolate between the cannonball and the cannon bore to eliminate friction to the greatest extent."

Oyce said suddenly, building the model in front of Harry.

Looking at the simulation results, Harry was stunned for a moment: This is feasible!

The so-called friction force is essentially generated by the interaction between two molecules, so theoretical absolute smoothness does not exist.

But the energy force field - this thing is a constraint field in the form of pure energy, not composed of particles. If you use this force field to constrain the movement route of the cannonball in the barrel and avoid contact with the barrel, you can minimize friction and burn. Eclipse even eliminates this effect!

The energy field can even accelerate projectiles a second time...

"...You are really a genius!" Harry said excitedly, "Phineas, I have a new technology here that may be able to overcome friction-"

With this technology, as long as the energy field is strong enough and the barrel is long enough, maybe they can even create a sublight railgun!

Phineas became excited after reading it - let alone hundreds of megajoules, a gigajoule cannon is not a dream!

Imagine that such a huge amount of energy is concentrated in a projectile with a volume of several cubic meters. What ship cannot penetrate it?

"Boss, I have to spend some time learning and verifying this technology--"

Force field technology was new to Phineas and he would have to take some time to learn.

This technology is theoretically possible, but it just takes some time, and there is no rush.

The weapon direction has been finalized, and it’s time for me to conduct the most important research:

That is the research on the Infinite Rough Stone.

He may not have the ability to use and control the Power Stone, but he is already familiar with the Mind Stone. Mastering the Mind Stone will also be of great benefit to Harry's understanding of the original stone.

Ever since I and Zemo brought Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, I haven't really studied them yet - these two siblings are the designated beneficiaries of the Mind Scepter in the MCU.

While the Ancient One is still alive and can still receive guidance from the Supreme Mage, it is time to start relevant research.

After lying on the chair and resting for a while, Harry said:

"Start the Hades Project."

"File activated--Sir, there is a communication from Earth. It is from Mr. Stark."

Harry was stunned for a moment: What did Tony want with him?It’s impossible to treat yourself to a meal, right?

"Connect."

As soon as the message was connected, Tony's extremely rough voice rang:

"Where are you? A robot calling itself Ultron is attacking humans!"

what?
