Chapter 242 Voltage Armor

Shangqiu Xinghuan Research Institute.

A special experiment is underway at a special weapons testing range.

"Quick! Quick! Quick! Get ready..."

Dou Zong led the group of experimental rabbits, and after Zhou Mingrui and the two little ones left, he became the main person in charge, responsible for carrying out all kinds of experiments.

This time, USTC sent over a special armor, hoping they could test it. It will also be the main protective armor to be installed on Pengkun-1 and Pengkun-2 in the future.

With the help of a crane, a 2m x 2m, 30cm thick piece of armor was erected vertically on the ground, and the experimenters on both sides used bolts to fix it to the ground.

Subsequently, two superconducting wires and several fiber optic cables were extracted from the armor...

The superconducting wires are connected to a superconducting battery matrix on the side, while the light beams are connected to a computer in the laboratory.

On the front of the armor plate, several researchers are inspecting various sensors within the armor plate.

"Dou Zong, preparations are almost complete, we can begin!"

"Hmm..." Dou Zong pondered for a moment, then said to the soldier assisting with the test beside him, "...Let's start with the Type 08 obstacle-clearing rocket launcher."

"Understood, I'll go prepare it right away."

Three soldiers walked to a bunker a hundred meters away and began making tense preparations, while Dou Zong and others were also making their own preparations.

"Dou Zong, USTC is really amazing, they've even managed to create something like this..."

This armor differs from traditional armor that relies on its own strength to resist physical corrosion, although it is also very strong.

The composite armor uses carbon nanotubes and titanium crystals, making its weight only one-seventh that of steel of the same volume, but its strength exceeds one hundred million points.

The real new technology used is that this armor not only has physical resistance, but also magic resistance... The outermost layer of the armor has a 1mm thick mesh-like superconducting circuit at room temperature, which means that this armor is electrified!

This technology can be considered a precursor to future new armor, especially the discovery of grating stones, which made this type of armor possible.

Within composite armor, it is activated by a specific electromagnetic pulse, increasing its molecular binding capacity several times, or even dozens of times...

It's even possible to use a stacking armor tactic that combines voltage armor with this kind of energy armor... except that it requires an extremely high amount of electricity.

"The superconducting capacitor has run out of power..."

"The superconducting capacitor has run out of power..."

......

"Well, the fundamental principle hasn't changed. It's still an active reactive armor, but it's more advanced... We'll only truly break through traditional defense methods when our photon projector is successfully tested."

Directional photon projection shields are impossible to deploy on small units, but this armor solves that problem.

As Dou Zong spoke, the researcher inspecting the voltage armor shouted, "Dou Zong, the superconducting sensor is functioning normally..."

Dou Zong nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Two minutes until the test begins. All unauthorized personnel, evacuate!"

The researchers quickly ran to the reinforced concrete shelter on the side.

Dou Zong stared nervously at the pocket watch in his hand. With twenty seconds left on the countdown, he said in a deep voice, "Power on the voltage armor."

A researcher nearby pulled the switch, and instantly the electrical energy in the battery was conducted to the voltage armor through the superconducting circuit. The armor surface emitted a buzzing sound as the electrical energy condensed...

"This is the weapons team. Ten seconds before launch, final check: has everyone been evacuated?"

"All personnel evacuated. Testing can proceed... Over."

"Understood!" came the weapons team's voice from the walkie-talkie.

One hundred meters away, a soldier set up his Type 08 obstacle-breaching rocket launcher and aimed it at the newly erected armor.

After firmly locking onto the red dot on the armor, the soldier looked left and right to make sure there were no comrades behind him before firing the rocket. Through the thin glass fiber reinforced plastic outer wall of the rocket launcher, the fiery red appearance inside the rocket launcher could be seen.

The moment the rocket launcher leaves the launch tube, the counterweight is ejected from behind.

This rocket launcher uses the principle of balanced throwing. A counterweight of the same weight as the ammunition is connected to the tail of the ammunition. In this way, during the firing process, the counterweight moves backward and the missile moves forward. The two cancel each other out, so it is very convenient for soldiers to use.

The rocket covered a mere hundred meters in the blink of an eye, accurately hitting the voltage armor.

Like ordinary armor, the fuse activates the armor-piercing warhead, and a large metal jet with a large internal diameter and weight is ejected... It can be easily penetrated by the metal jet, and even if it cannot penetrate, it will leave a mark on the surface.

However, voltage-type armor is completely different. The moment the rocket hits the armor, the high-precision sensors inside detect the change in the external environment, activate the superconducting battery, and release the internal power into the designated grid in a violent manner.

The electrified superconducting grid activates a directional electrothermal reaction the instant the rocket's metal jet is ejected... According to the second law of thermodynamics, the massive electrical energy on the armor surface instantly heats the metal jet, evaporating it into copper ions.

A high-speed camera nearby accurately recorded the entire process.

After the explosion, the damage caused by the Type 08 rocket launcher was only due to the kinetic energy of the rocket hitting the armor; the internal metal jet had no effect.

"How much electricity did it use?" Dou Zong asked, turning his head.

"12%..."

"Hiss, this is too power-consuming... but it's worth it. At least when the battery is full, it can block 8... no, it should be 9 rockets."

However, considering the need to recharge the battery after it has been overloaded, nine batteries should be a more reliable option.

"That's pretty good! That's nine rockets. Besides, our tanks aren't sitting ducks. If they're attacked, they'll definitely maneuver to avoid it!"

Meanwhile, the veteran army officer who had come from other firing ranges to watch the spectacle was all smiles. He seemed to be envisioning the next generation of main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles equipped with electrothermal-chemical guns and voltage-type armor...

The most threatening weapon for a tank is its first shell, and this voltage-controlled tank only needs to block the enemy's first armor-piercing discarding sabot round, and the rest... hehe!

If this kind of armor could be fitted to individual soldiers... wow, nowadays all bullets are made of metal. It doesn't have to stop enemy fire, it would be great if it could stop sniper bullets!

"Uh, a tank?" Dou Zong looked at the army's senior officer with a blank expression. Isn't this the armored vehicle on the Pengkun II?

"It's just a little bit of electricity! Our army has invested in this project. Money and manpower are not a problem. As long as we can get this kind of armor onto the Type 99A, I'll send each of you a case of Moutai!"

"Prepare anti-tank missiles..."

"I think we shouldn't use anti-tank missiles, that's too conservative. Wait a minute, I'll just send a Type 99A tank over!"

The senior officer of the army picked up his walkie-talkie.

Chapter 243 Not Many Demands

Testing the main gun of the 99A?

"Dou Zong, I said our testing is supposed to be gradual, right? The 99A main gun test... we don't have that item in our records, do we?"

The armor assigned to the Pengkun II was never designed to withstand bombardment from tank main guns... The tests were primarily conducted on various heavy anti-ship missiles and heavy anti-aircraft missiles.

What does the Type 99A main gun even mean? It carries a 125mm armor-piercing discarding sabot projectile with a muzzle velocity of 2000 m/s! Its armor-piercing capability is even more formidable than that of heavy anti-ship missiles!

A moment later, the senior soldier put down his walkie-talkie, looked at Dou Zong and the others with a smile, and said, "Please wait a moment, the tanks will be here soon."

"Uh...this wasn't part of our test?"

"Now we have it!"

A deep voice came from afar, and an imposing old man slowly walked over.

The attentive older soldier quickly walked up to the old man and saluted: "Greetings, sir!"

Good heavens... Dou Zongsuan figured it out; he was afraid they wouldn't agree, so he directly called the leader over.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to check on you. You can test it however you like."

The old man said kindly that it was indeed as he said. As long as this voltage armor could withstand a 125mm penetrating armor of the 99A or an anti-tank missile, or even if it couldn't withstand the attack of artillery shells and missiles, the army would definitely let them know what passion was.

On the battlefield, the first wave of attack is the most threatening!

The researcher next to him quickly took out an ancestral folding stool and gestured for the old man to sit down.

"That's right, we'd like to see too."

At this moment, the air force and navy leaders walked in with smiles on their faces, and the research institute immediately added two more folding stools.

"How did you get here?"

"Hehe, with such a commotion, of course we had to come and check it out..."

"That's right, you wouldn't know until you came! These little guys are really amazing!"

The three experts chatted, none of them urging the experiment to begin; they seemed to be waiting for something...

"Uh... esteemed commanders?"

Dou Zong scratched his head, feeling a bit of a headache. They had only intended to conduct a routine damage resistance test, but somehow they had attracted the attention of a big shot.

"It's alright, no rush. Just test it however you want, we'll just watch from the sidelines."

That's what they say, but having a big shot around really increases the pressure.

"Check the voltage armor status!" Dou Zong said to the researchers in a deep voice.

Several researchers quickly stepped forward to examine the location on the armor surface where the rocket hit. In terms of pure kinetic energy impact, the Type 08 obstacle-penetrating rocket carried very little kinetic energy and could not leave any mark on the armor surface.

"The armor is intact..."

"The superconducting battery is fully charged. Now check the sensors..."

During the researchers' thorough inspection, the voltage-type armor had no other problems besides consuming a little electricity.

Suddenly, everyone felt the ground shake, and saw a Type 99A main battle tank approaching at a speed of 40 km/h.

"Ready! Ammunition type: Armor-piercing discarding sabot finned penetrator (APFSDS)..." The senior army officer glanced at the row of senior officers sitting nearby and whispered, "...Aim carefully before firing. If you miss, you'll be cleaning toilets for half a year!"

Soon, the Type 99A tank stopped, and the gunner aimed at the red circle in the middle of the voltage armor through the high-precision fire control system, and a 125mm armor-piercing discarding sabot round was pushed into the gun barrel.

boom!

A long flame shot out from the muzzle of the 125mm smoothbore cannon as the armor-piercing discarding sabot projectile flew out of the muzzle and crashed into the voltage-type armor with an initial velocity of 2000 m/s.

After the shell flew a distance, it separated from its trailing component, leaving only the tungsten alloy "arrow" that crashed into the voltage-type armor...

The instant the arrow struck the voltage armor, the same reaction as when the metal jet struck it occurred: current surged into the superconducting mesh, heating the incoming tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile...

However, tungsten alloys are not metal jets composed of copper. Their ionic state requires a much higher temperature, and the energy required to vaporize them increases exponentially... However, thanks to the superior electrical conductivity and overload resistance of superconducting materials, which are unmatched by conventional materials.
