It had only been a few minutes, but everyone present felt as if a day had passed.
The observation ship and Captain Liu Yehua could not be contacted, which made everyone anxious.
Whether the railgun hit the target or not, the observation ship near the target should at least give them a message!
Just as many military bigwigs were anxiously pacing back and forth, the guard finally got in touch with Captain Liu Yehua again with the communicator in his hand.
Lieutenant General Liu Zhenguo snatched the communicator over.
"This is Liu Zhenguo. Did the cannonball hit you?”
"Why did you lose contact with your side and take so long to get through?”
Liu Zhenguo asked through the communicator.
"Sir, we hit it. At the 147th second after the electromagnetic railgun was fired, our ship successfully observed that the shell hit the target island reef!”
On the other side, Captain Liu Yehua reported as he wiped the water off his face.
" It hit the target island?"
"How much is the distance from the center target? After all, didn't you say that the island was about 10,000 square meters?”
Liu Zhenguo clenched his fists excitedly and continued to ask.
When the others heard the news of the hit, they were also extremely happy.
To cross a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers and hit an island reef of about 10,000 square meters, this accuracy was already very terrifying.
However, just like Lieutenant General Liu Zhenguo, the others were extremely concerned about the accuracy of the landing point of the cannonball and the center target.
"Yes, the 10,000-square-meter island is almost as big as a standard 400-meter perimeter playground.”
"But now that the island has been completely flattened, we can't see it at sea level at all. We can't estimate the exact location of the artillery shell.”
"At present, our ship has set off for the coordinates of the original island reef. We are ready to send divers to investigate the exact location of the artillery shell!”
Liu Yehua said with a bitter smile.
If he had known that this thing was so powerful, he would have moved the observation ship further away.
When the shockwave had sent the water vapor flying toward their observation ship, coupled with the explosion in his ears, he had even thought that the cannonball had hit near their observation ship!
At the Tianwei City shoreline base, when Captain Liu Yehua's voice came out of the communicator, everyone looked at Li Qiu as if they were looking at a monster.
You flattened a 10,000-square-meter island more than 1,000 kilometers away. What did you research?
"Li Qiu, did you add fuel to the electromagnetic railgun?”
Lieutenant General Liu Zhenguo asked Li Qiu with a trembling voice.
A normal tungsten alloy bullet could flatten a 10,000-square-meter island. Was this a joke?
Generally speaking, if a missile was loaded with a conventional 500 kg gunpowder warhead, it might not be able to achieve such power!
Li Qiu shook her head innocently when she saw everyone's doubtful gazes.
"What I just fired was just a normal solid tungsten alloy bullet. I didn't add any extra material to it!”
"Also, the electromagnetic railgun uses electromagnetic force to launch the projectile at such a high temperature. How could I dare to add fuel to it!”
Li Qiu replied.
"Then how can ordinary tungsten alloy bullets flatten an island?”
Lieutenant General Wang Hang also joined the ranks of those who suspected Li Qiu.
They would never believe that Li Qiu had not added any extra ingredients to the aircraft carrier.
Even though Li Qiu had already denied it once, everyone still looked at Li Qiu suspiciously.
"F * ck…Don't look at me like that. I really didn't add anything. This thing doesn't have any black technology. It's purely the result of Dali creating a miracle!”
"A tungsten alloy projectile weighing tens of kilograms can reach an initial speed of Mach 21 when fired by the electromagnetic railgun. Even when it hits the target, it can reach a speed of Mach 17-19.”
"Do you know what happens when a tungsten alloy bullet hits a target at this speed?”
Li Qiu asked everyone.
Hearing Li Qiu's words, many people were confused, but Liu Gong fell into deep thought.
"Could it be that the terrifying kinetic energy from the instant condensation flattened the island?”
"I remember that the mid-course anti-missile intercept missile uses a KKV kinetic energy collision warhead. There are no explosives inside this kinetic energy interception warhead. It's just a piece of pure copper solid metal that weighs dozens of kilograms.”
"However, when this kind of intercepting missile collided with a medium-range missile at high speed, the combined head-on speed of the two could reach Mach 15. This rapid collision would cause the two warheads to instantly vaporize in space like a violent explosion.”
" The collision clouds produced after they vaporize often spread out hundreds of kilometers of collision clouds in space. Even at the right angle, such collisions sometimes produce sunlight that is visible for thousands of kilometers.”
"And the speed of your electromagnetic railgun's projectile has already reached Mach 17, so you also rely on this terrifying kinetic energy to vaporize the solid metal projectile?”
After Liu Gong analyzed the situation, he looked at Li Qiu.
Li Qiu gave him a thumbs up. Other than admiration, there was nothing else to say.
A chief engineer was a chief engineer after all. The accumulation of all kinds of technology was indeed not something that an ordinary military engineer could compare to.
Li Qiu only gave a little hint, and Liu Gong had already guessed and analyzed the principle behind the terrifying power of the electromagnetic railgun.
"Then according to Liu Gong's analysis, doesn't that mean that the new electromagnetic railgun developed by Li Qiu can shoot a battleship with one shot even if the projectile is not added?”
" Or even an aircraft carrier with one cannon?"
"Moreover, this thing is so fast. It's very likely that it's not afraid of the other party's interception?”
"Even if they are intercepted, this is just a cannonball that costs less than 1,000 yuan. What are we afraid of?”
At this moment, all the officers present could no longer remain calm. They sized up Li Qiu and the electromagnetic railgun as if they were looking at a rare treasure!
