Chapter 153 Another electromagnetic rail gun and another vertical launch system

Everyone kept pointing at the engine room.

"I asked why this tank runs so fast. It turns out it has twin engines."

“It’s a real talent to be able to work both a reciprocating engine and a turbofan engine at the same time.”

"That's right! We have added tanks equipped with turbofan engines."

“But I don’t see many hybrids of reciprocating and turbofan types.”

"I watched it for a long time and still didn't understand how the two engines worked at the same time."

"Two engines means two output shafts."

"Two output shafts mean one is faster and the other is slower."

"Obviously the output shaft of a turbofan engine must be faster than that of a reciprocating engine."

"When the two engines are working at the same time."

"One is faster and the other is slower. You need to change the speed in between."

"Where is this transmission system?"

"How can you be sure that both engines can work at the same time?"

"What if he designed the twin engines to deal with extreme battlefield conditions?"

"For example, if you go to a place where the temperature is [-] to [-] degrees below zero, diesel crystallizes."

"Reciprocating engines cannot be used, and the only option is turbofan engines."

"A turbofan engine is not like a reciprocating engine and must consume specified oil."

"Think of diesel, gasoline, alcohol, kerosene and other fuels, and the turbofan engine can burn and do work."

"There's nothing wrong with what you said, but it's just one of its functions."

"A true dual-engine design can work simultaneously."

"Otherwise, during the second round of surprise tests just now, we would have relied on one engine to generate power."

"Can it accelerate from [-] to [-] kilometers in eight seconds?"

"Even a single turbofan engine can't do it!"

"So this tank can definitely work with dual engines."

"And even with dual engines working, it can't reach zero to [-] mph in eight seconds."

"There must be other power outputs."

"Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve [-] horsepower with dual engines."

Just as everyone was looking for answers in the cabin, someone exclaimed:

"Look, this seems to be the hybrid control unit."

Following the sound, people discovered the power distribution device in the cabin.

A box-shaped hybrid control unit.

Two fist-sized cables were discharged from the control unit, leading to the energy storage power supply area.

"I guessed it right."

"This tank not only has dual engines, but also has a gasoline-electric hybrid auxiliary system."

"Strictly speaking, in addition to dual engines, this tank also has electric drive."

"With three power drives and [-] horsepower, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Such a design does exceed the power output of traditional tanks in terms of speed."

"At the same time, it also increases the maintenance cost of the tank in the later period, as well as technical related issues."

"One more thing, and the most important point."

"Dual engine fuel consumption issues."

"Eight thousand horsepower, [-] kilometers per hour, requires at least about [-] to [-] liters of oil."

"No matter which country you put it in, you can't afford this kind of fuel consumption!"

"So this tank still needs improvement, at least in terms of power."

"Come and see!"

"This barrel seems to be an electromagnetic railgun barrel."

A man stood under the barrel and said loudly.

Upon hearing the electromagnetic rail gun, everyone swarmed under the barrel again.

Each one's head was raised high, and their necks were stretched as long as a giraffe.

Staring at the barrel blankly.

"I asked why this gun barrel is different from the traditional gun barrel design."

"I just noticed it during the first round of static fire."

"I just can't believe it."

"But isn't this electromagnetic railgun something from a battleship?"

"Why would it be used on a tank?"

"Yes! I remember mentioning it before."

"It's said to increase the tank's firepower system."

"It is assumed that the electromagnetic railgun on the battleship is transplanted to the tank."

"But that's just a hypothesis."

"Later, in order to take the first step, countless experiments were conducted, but they all ended in failure."

"Later on, the topic of installing electromagnetic railguns on tanks was never mentioned again."

"Because in the eyes of all scientific researchers, the transplantation of this electromagnetic rail gun."

"It is simply beyond the reach of contemporary technology."

"I want to transplant the electromagnetic railgun from a battleship to a tank."

"That's ten or twenty years from now."

"Is this tank in front of you really equipped with an electromagnetic railgun?"

"Come in and have a look."

"I found the energy storage device of the electromagnetic railgun in the cockpit."

"The drive is so big, how can so many of us get in?"

“Open the hangout, you’re filming in there, we can all see it.”

With that said, the person in the tank cockpit opened the group chat video.

Aim the camera under the cab instrument.

There are two square meters of energy storage power supplies piled there.

This power supply looks very novel.

It's like stacking discs one by one, with a thickness of about ten centimeters.

"Is this an energy storage power supply?"

"The electromagnetic railgun can accelerate projectiles to a speed of two thousand meters per second."

"The shells loaded on the tank are basically about [-] to [-] kilograms."

"I want to accelerate fifteen to thirty kilograms of ammunition to a speed of two thousand meters per second."

"With such a large power supply and energy storage, can it be done?"

"Did you find the wrong energy storage power source?"

"That's right! Is the electric ring the tank's own power source?"

"The tank has its own power supply. The energy storage power supply I'm photographing now is connected to the tank's gun barrel."

"Is this just electromagnetic rail assistance, not electromagnetic rail gun?"

"It should be an electromagnetic rail gun!"

"In the previous static target shooting, the sound of the artillery projectile and chambering was completely different from that of traditional artillery."

"And compared with traditional artillery, the artillery is ejected from the electromagnetic railgun."

"Cannonballs don't have tails of fire and smoke."

"This is completely an electromagnetic rail gun. It uses the coil track to push the shell out."

"It's really puzzling."

"Without the drawings, even if it were completely disassembled, we wouldn't know how it works."

"Besides, if it's really an electromagnetic railgun, I wouldn't be able to understand it even if you were given the drawings."

"This thing can transcend the times."

However, just when the group video chat was getting heated.

The person in the cockpit accidentally touched the missile launcher system.

squeak...

A sound of mechanical lifting reached everyone's ears.

Then I saw the front end and rear end of the tank, and a small hatch was opened at the same time.

Two eight-barreled launch cannon barrels rose from the hatch.

Seeing how it looked vertically upward, while everyone was curious, some people immediately said:

"This, this, this...could it be...a missile launcher system?"

"Missile vertical launching system?"

"Isn't this equipment only found on battleships? Why has it been transplanted to tanks again?"
