The Great Voyage: I'm Not a Pirate

Chapter 43 Railgun, Harvest on the Ship

Since we have the ability to discharge electricity, how can we not develop a railgun? Sister Pao's skills are so cool that it would be a waste not to develop them.

The electromagnetic gun, also called the coil gun, is an advanced kinetic energy killing weapon made using electromagnetic launch technology. Unlike traditional cannons that apply gunpowder gas pressure to projectiles, electromagnetic guns use the Lorentz force generated by the electromagnetic field in the electromagnetic system to accelerate the metal projectiles to achieve the kinetic energy required to hit the target. Unlike traditional gunpowder-driven cannons, , the electromagnetic gun can greatly increase the speed and range of projectiles.

The principle is to use super strong electromagnets to shoot out cannonballs made of conductors. It is generally used on battleships. Of course, if you insist on installing it on land, no one will say anything.

The advantages of the electromagnetic gun are its high power, long range, high accuracy and low cost. It is simply the first choice for future weapons. In addition, because the projectiles are generally solid iron bullets, there are no electronic components in them., so unless you hit it head-on, other interception methods will have no effect. What's more, the speed of the electromagnetic gun is super fast. It is said that the fastest speed can reach 100 kilometers per second. Although it is not yet reached, it is It can also reach four or five kilometers per second. This speed is already more than ten times the speed of sound. Basically, if you launch a shell here, it will arrive there, and there is no time to react, let alone intercept.

But until the 21st century, the electromagnetic gun was not completed because the materials were unqualified, especially the lack of superconductors and superconducting materials, which meant that the materials could not withstand the high temperatures generated by the huge discharge. In other words, one shot Cannonballs will burn down a machine... No matter how rich the country is, it can't afford such squandering, right? What's more, the cost of building a railgun turret is extremely high. Even the United States cannot afford such a squandering. How is this a cannon fight? This is obviously burning money. Precisely because there is no material, the electromagnetic gun can only become a work on the design drawing, and it is very difficult to realize it.

But when it comes to Luo An, these problems are no longer a problem. Because of the Bobo Fruit, he is a superconductor and can turn electricity into magnetism 100%. As for the rest, it is very simple. He only needs a suitable conductor. That's it, and there is no doubt that cannonballs made of pure iron are the most suitable material - as for where his cannonballs came from, well... they were naturally stolen from the warehouse of the Kingdom of Victoria.

After firing the last cannonball, Luo An was a little disappointed because the Tianlong ship did not sink. On the one hand, it was because the Tianlong ship was of good quality and was made from the branches of the Adam tree. On the one hand, it was also Luo An's own fault.

Because the characteristics of the electromagnetic gun are fast speed and high power, but the super power also brings great penetration, so that although Luo An has deliberately controlled the speed and used exploding shells, There were still some shells that did not explode, but fell into the sea after penetrating the Draco ship. So despite the fact that the Draco ship is riddled with holes, most of them are just skin injuries, which just look scary. You can just plug them with wooden boards. You don’t even need to go to the shipyard to repair them. Just rely on the shipwrights on the ship. Fixed.

What's more, although the railgun did not cause much damage to the ship, it is still very lethal to people. You must know that the railgun not only has the lethality of projectiles, but more importantly, this thing is electrified. Therefore, after each cannonball hits, the people next to it will be burned to coke by the strong current. Even if they are farther away, they will not be electrocuted, but the cannonball will pass through the air flow carried by it and roll up the ship fragments, which will also kill people. It was riddled with holes.

Therefore, when Luo An arrived on the ship, in fact, there were few living people on the entire ship. Even those who were alive were all defeated soldiers, lying on the deck holding their wounds and wailing. Luo An just released After a few lightning lines, all these people were killed. Anyway, there are no good people on this warship except slaves. They are all bastards who help others to do harm. He has no psychological burden at all when killing them.

"Um? Isn't it? Did someone get there first?"Luo An quickly found Germa Kesheng, but he saw that Jerma Kesheng had turned into a pile of flesh, with blood and flesh splattered all over the room. There was a bloody stick next to the body. It fully explained how this Tianlong man died.

However, Luo An was not interested in how Germa Kesheng died. In addition to rescuing the slaves, he came here this time to search for treasures and collect treasures. Knowing that this is a Tianlong man, especially this time when he patrols the East China Sea, the countries along the way will definitely provide a lot of treasures, plus his own collection - this is definitely a big sum, and you can't miss it.

Jer Marco Saint's collection was not hidden, but was placed outside openly. But think about it, this is his bedroom. Who would have the courage to come to his house to steal things? Don't you want to live anymore?

"I'll go, they're all good stuff."After seeing the collection of Saint Jermak, Luo An's eyes turned into shining gold ingots. You know how much he cares about money, but even so, he was shocked. It can be seen that the collection here has a lot of value. How rich. More importantly, the collections displayed in the room are not only huge in quantity, but more importantly, also in quality. Most of them are antiques, and the rest are rare items. For example, Luo An is in In Germa's holy collection, two famous swords were found, one of which was the Great Kuaishou Raikiri, and the other was the Good Kuaishou Ziyun. In addition to these two swords, there were also three Devil Fruits. The specific types I can’t tell what they are, but judging from their appearance, they should be one each of the natural type, the superhuman type, and the animal type. As expected of a Celestial Dragon, he can even collect natural type devil fruits. It seems that he will have to go to the Holy Land one day. Marie Joa took a look, and there must be more Devil Fruits hidden there. There were not many collections in Germache's holy room, only more than a hundred rare antiques and treasures, two famous swords, three Devil Fruits and a non-stop A ring that shines with a faint blue luster. This ring was pulled out from the only intact hand of Germa Kesheng. It can be worn by Jerma Keshen even when he sleeps. Obviously, this ring is not It’s not just as simple as being precious, I’m afraid it has other functions, but Luo An didn’t understand the purpose of this ring for a while, so he could only put it away first and study it slowly when he gets back.

The above is what Luo An learned from Germa The only strange thing about the things found in the holy room was that there was no gold or bailey in these collections, which made Luo An puzzled for a long time.
