Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 142 The most important weapon of the country
At this moment, the soldiers stationed on the nearby islands also rowed to the target island reef and immediately sent out divers to conduct exploration.

According to their divers' detection, the distance between the electromagnetic railgun's just-fired shell and the center target they had planned was less than five meters!

This is more than 1000 kilometers, and the error is less than five meters?
Although it was just one shell and could not be used as a final conclusion, this data already demonstrated the electromagnetic railgun's incredibly accurate and precise strike capability.

Then they immediately picked up the diver and returned to the island where they started. They immediately called here to report the observation situation.

After receiving the call from the observation soldier, the officer immediately reported to Commander Yang:

"Commander, according to the report from the observation soldiers ahead, the shell fired by the electromagnetic railgun just now hit the target within five meters of the center, a precise hit."

"Okay, okay!" Director Yang laughed excitedly. Then he asked Li Weidong:

"Weidong, that's a perfect hit! By the way, what's the electromagnetic railgun's rate of fire per minute?"

"The charging time of the electromagnetic railgun shell is four seconds, and during the second four-second charging time of the launch, the automatic ammunition loading device has completed the loading of the second shell. The estimated firing rate can reach about 15 rounds per minute! Of course, this is a theoretical value, and the specific results will be available after the test is completed." Li Weidong said.

Commander Yang immediately turned to the officer who had answered the phone and asked, "Have the soldiers on the other side of the observation evacuated?"

"Commander, they have already evacuated and returned to the island where they are stationed."

"Okay, Weidong, let's go back and continue testing." Without waiting for Li Weidong's response, Commander Yang immediately walked towards the mountain where the electromagnetic gun was located. Li Weidong and others followed him.

Next, the official testing of the electromagnetic railgun's various indicators began. Suddenly, the flashes of lightning from the mountain and the roar of artillery shells breaking the sound barrier in the air rang out one after another.

Solid tungsten alloy projectiles were continuously fired out by the electromagnetic cannon.

……

After the final test was completed, everyone present showed joy on their faces and were very satisfied with the test data of the electromagnetic railgun.

"The most important weapon of the country!"

"This is the most important weapon of our country!"

Everyone was a little shaken after hearing Chief Yang's four-word evaluation of the electromagnetic railgun!
"A national treasure, yes, the electromagnetic railgun can be called a national treasure.

His value to our country's defense and his deterrence against other powerful nations are absolutely worthy of these four words!"

Commander Yang said with a serious face.

"The electromagnetic railgun project is enough to elevate our Flower Growers' overall defense capabilities to a higher level.

And you have to understand that this thing, even though it is so terrifying, is still a conventional force, not the kind of force that cannot be moved.

Now that it can be used, who would dare to act recklessly in the future? We can use it to carry out a devastating attack without violating any conventions. What do you think, if it is released, will other sects be afraid? Will they still dare to act recklessly in the South China Sea? "Chief Yang said to everyone with a smile, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood at the moment.

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Chief Yang's statement.

Afterwards, Chief Yang and Li Weidong talked for a while, then said goodbye and left to report to the chief manager.

After Commander Yang and his companions left, Li Weidong immediately returned to the nuclear power plant and began working on the electromagnetic railgun. According to Li Weidong's plan, a total of 12 electromagnetic railguns would be installed on the four mountaintops, with three in each direction to defend against or deter the enemy.

In the following days, in addition to going to the command room of the nuclear fusion power station once a day, Li Weidong either made electromagnetic railguns or worked with technicians from the institute to study how to miniaturize thermally controlled nuclear fusion reactors in preparation for installing them on warships in the future.

In early November, the construction of the ten "Golden Crows" gradually entered the final stage, and the ignition test may be carried out at the end of this month or the beginning of next month.

On November 28th, the first "Golden Crow" was completed in Heilongjiang Province. Since this was Li Weidong's first Golden Crow design, its completion was expected to be the first. Construction on the remaining Golden Crows was expected to be completed within ten days.

On the first day of December, Li Weidong and his father-in-law from the military, Chief Yang, drove to the base where the first "Golden Crow" was built.

Inside the base's main control room, Chief Yang looked around nervously.

"Which step will be taken today?"

Commander Yang took a deep breath and asked Li Weidong with a slightly excited voice.

"Today we'll conduct an ignition test to see how the Golden Crow performs and how much power it generates. If all goes well, we'll begin connecting the various cities."

Li Weidong said.

"it is good!"

Commander Yang nodded silently.

While the two were talking, inspectors from various units and equipment departments also came to the main control room to report.

"Superconductor inspection complete, sufficient raw materials injected."

"First, the inner wall inspection is complete and there are no safety hazards!"

"Report to the commander-in-chief, everything is ready, please give instructions!"

When all the preparations were complete, Li Weidong looked at Chief Yang and said:

"Commander, please give the order!"

However, Commander Yang looked at Li Weidong very seriously at this moment, shook his head and said:

"No, you come!

This is the result of your hard work, that of all the front-line scientific researchers in R&D, and that of countless engineers and workers on site. You, as the chief engineer, should give the order.

If I could witness this world-changing moment with my own eyes, I would have no regrets in my life!"

After listening to Chief Yang's words, Li Weidong walked to the front of the control room without further ado. Li Weidong could see all the front-line operators and engineers in front of the control panel, as well as the construction workers in the base who were waiting expectantly.

For this great project, none of them has left the base for nearly six months.

Li Weidong took a deep breath, looked at everyone in the base from the control room, and said:
"We are already at the forefront of the times, and a new era is about to be created by us!
History will remember today, and future generations will remember the contributions of each of you!
Each of you is a creator of history and this Peking University era!
I now declare the ignition started!"

All the staff at the operating tables started working.

"Preheating is over, the temperature has reached the critical value..."

"The superconductor temperature is normal, reaching 100 million degrees, and the fusion reaction is taking place..."

"The light of nuclear fusion is ignited, we succeeded!"

"Success!"
