Chapter 399 Cruise Ship Completed
Nanhua had no intention of hiding the news, and that very evening, this exciting news made its debut on Metro TV's evening news program.
Although the report on the stunning successful test launch lasted less than a minute, this brief moment was like a bombshell, causing huge waves in the hearts of everyone who saw it.
Especially when the TV camera focused on the huge building that towered into the clouds and stood on the top of the mountain, the people present seemed to have witnessed the gods coming to earth with their own eyes.
However, for those people from more professional fields in various countries, what really fascinates them is not just the external appearance, but the deep experimental information revealed in this short news clip.
The seemingly understated sentence - "The electromagnetic gun successfully hit the target on the Andaman Island in 2 minutes and 35 seconds" was like a thunderclap, leaving intelligence personnel from various countries dumbfounded and in disbelief.
With the keen insight of knowledge in their minds, they immediately realized the astonishing data behind it: the distance between Andaman Island and the new city is more than 700 kilometers!
This means that the initial velocity of the shells fired by the Nanhua electromagnetic cannon must reach at least five kilometers per second.
Such unimaginable data made everyone's mood extremely complicated.
Just as citizens in the ASEAN region saw the news and happily set off colorful fireworks, immersed in a joyful and festive atmosphere and cheered for their lives, detailed information about the successful test launch of the electromagnetic gun had already been transmitted to countries around the world at lightning speed.
They had been wondering what the purpose of the mysterious object built by Nanhua was. They had sent people to investigate, but they didn't expect Nanhua to announce it directly. Although they figured out that it was an electromagnetic cannon,
However, after learning the truth, countries fell into deeper distress.
Speaking of electromagnetic guns, everyone is actually not unfamiliar with them, because the theory about it was proposed more than 60 years ago.
That year, after defeating Germany and Japan, the United States successfully obtained the two countries' experimental data on electromagnetic guns.
However, these are only in the experimental stage, and no effective way to put them into practical use has been found so far.
When they discovered that Nanhua had successfully developed an electromagnetic gun, the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, immediately took action and hurriedly summoned top experts in related fields, eager to find out whether they also had the ability to manufacture electromagnetic guns.
After all, Nanhua has set an example in the past, and it is always relatively easier to follow the path others have taken.
Unfortunately, things went against our wishes and the feedback we received made it difficult to be optimistic.
U.S. President Johnson personally asked the researchers about the situation, and they answered without hesitation: "Dear Mr. President, we have indeed studied this technology. However, if Congress can increase its funding, it is estimated that within five years, we may be able to successfully develop our own electromagnetic gun."
After hearing this reply, Johnson nodded slightly to show his agreement: "Very good, I will definitely do my best to urge Congress to approve the appropriation as soon as possible."
The researcher left the White House happily and went back to the institute to report the good news. He wanted to let everyone in the institute, including the cleaners, know that they would have money to spend.
The situation in the Soviet Union was different. Khrushchev also raised this question to Soviet scholars.
However, Soviet scholars did not dare to give a specific time.
The political system is different. If they fail to do so, they will be held accountable, and no one is willing to step forward and take the lead.
After asking around, Khrushchev didn't get any results. The answers he got were all that it couldn't be done for the time being, and they couldn't even give a time frame.
However, although he was disappointed, he still allocated funds to make research on electromagnetic gun technology a key research technology for the Soviet Union.
But he did not wait for the success of the electromagnetic gun. In October, political turmoil occurred in the Soviet Union.
Brezhnev takes office.
The new Soviet leader attached particular importance to the military.
As soon as he took office, he sought out scientists and asked about the research progress of particle missiles and electromagnetic guns.
The news we received was that there was no progress.
Brezhnev did not follow Nanhua's footsteps in his research like Khrushchev.
He chose to increase the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons holdings.
And ensure the Soviet Union's nuclear attack means, intercontinental missiles, nuclear submarines, and heavy long-range bombers.
These projects were strongly supported by him.
In his opinion, as long as they can ensure the destruction of the enemy, what is the difference between zeta particles and nuclear weapons?
The area near the electromagnetic gun on Nanhua Road in Nanhua has become a must-take photo spot for visitors to Nanhua.
The background of the photos is the silver electromagnetic cannon on the top of the mountain.
Wang Ze also received the cruise ship design drawings from the research institute.
He severely criticized Frederick and asked them not to add anything to the cruise ship.
After removing a lot of exaggerated functional designs, the research institute provided the drawings in a short time.
After getting the drawings, Wang Ze continued to manufacture the cruise ship.
The cruise ship was parked here for several months, making it impossible for Nanhua's battleships to be maintained.
There is only one large dock in Nanhua that can accommodate giant battleships.
Although battleships are all made of light steel, maintenance of various equipment is still an indispensable task.
Since the nuclear power facilities on the bottom of the ship had already been built, this time we only needed to add a large number of sensing devices. In this way, if any problems occurred with the nuclear power facilities, the control room above would know the causes, making it easier to detect and repair them in a timely manner.
The large number of weapon devices in the middle of the hull were studied and constructed together with the people from the research institute. It was the first time for them to complete such a complex structure, although Wang Ze had supernatural powers and could discover problems and make changes on the spot.
But it was still not easy. It took me half a month to complete all the installations.
The building facilities on the upper level and deck are relatively simple after Wang Ze built these room structures.
All kinds of strange, beautiful or fragrant flowers, plants and trees were specially found from all over the country and sent to the naval shipyard.
Wang Ze controlled the plants and placed them in a botanical garden on the ship that was covered by transparent and solid glass.
A large number of water entertainment facilities on the ship were also completed at the same time.
From a distance, the ship looks like an amusement park built on a lush island.
When this cruise ship left the shipyard for the first time and docked at the New Town Port Terminal, the electromagnetic gun, which had long been a topic of public discussion, became an outdated focus.
This huge and beautiful cruise ship has made people even more excited, and they have begun to ask when the cruise ship will start operating and selling tickets.
(The previous chapter was reviewed and asked to be revised. Oh! It's so difficult.)
