Chapter 1102 Laser Weapon Development
Panshan.
The entire production base is running in an orderly manner.
Even now, this area of 100 square kilometers still remains relatively independent.
There are only two roads leading into the entire area, both of which have checkpoints. The checkpoints are easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, there is only one railway in and out.
In the entire area, the boundaries between the work area and the living area are clear. It is like a small society with everything.
There are even fish in the river here, and the fish in the reservoir are enough to meet the needs of the entire factory.
At this time, it is still like spring here, not hot.
Blooming flowers can be seen everywhere.
Employees in every position are working hard.
In one area, the huge factory building has been converted into a laboratory.
The laboratory is messy, and all kinds of electronic components and electronic equipment are piled up everywhere.
Scattered, thick and colorful wires are also tangled into a ball.
In the middle of the laboratory, there is a cable about 30 centimeters thick, which is made of countless wires, which is particularly conspicuous.
This thickest cable extends all the way forward.
It is connected to an electronic device with a strange shape, as if it comes from alien technology.
It's just that the front part of this electronic device, which looks a bit like a cannon barrel, has various cables exposed outside, as if it is still a semi-finished product.
Liu Tao is busy.
There are also technicians guiding him to assemble.
This is nothing else, it is a laser weapon.
Behind the electronic panel in front of him, there are countless complex wires. These wires are connected to laser weapons not far away, a laser cannon!
The laser cannon is placed by the window, and there is an open space outside. There is a movable steel plate in the open space, which is used to test the power of the laser cannon.
Strategic laser weapons are very complicated, at least they are very complicated now!
Tactical laser weapons such as laser guns and laser cannons are currently limited by high-energy batteries, and their power is still relatively limited.
Liu Tao is not in a hurry to make tactical laser weapons, because in terms of firearms, China is at the world's advanced level, and it is not urgent.
What he wants to make is strategic laser weapons to strengthen anti-missile and anti-satellite capabilities!
With the development of missiles, how to defend against missiles has become a major issue.
When the "Aegis" air defense missile system almost reached its ceiling, Liu Tao chose to develop laser weapons and use laser weapons for anti-missile.
He did not develop laser weapons at the Panshan Group headquarters, but came to the Panshan Base to develop laser weapons.
The Panshan Base has a very special status in the entire Panshan Group, because the Panshan Group came out of the Panshan Base, and there are too many Panshan Group marks here.
Even in Liu Tao's heart, the Panshan Base has a very special status. He comes to the Panshan Base at least two or three times a year to inspect the Panshan Base.
In the evening, the entire laser weapon was finally assembled.
Liu Tao's secretary came with dinner, and Liu Tao had dinner with four technicians.
The four technicians were all technicians in laser weapons.
Liu Tao did not let them assemble the laser weapon, but he did it himself.
After dinner, they continued to work.
It was about 9 o'clock in the evening.
"Ding ding ding-"
At this time, the countdown of the electronic panel also ended, and a series of bright prompts were issued.
"Bang——"
A huge bright red light burst out from the laser cannon with a loud bang!
"Puff——"
The light was just a flash, and then it went out.
A puff of green smoke accompanied by a burnt smell also diffused in the air.
Liu Tao frowned slightly.
Failed!
He was not depressed.
If laser weapons were so easy, the whole world would not have failed to develop them.
Now all laser weapons are in the laboratory development stage, and even a few equipment are experimental.
"The energy conversion rate is not enough, only 1% of the energy conversion rate!" Liu Tao shook his head.
The energy conversion rate also restricts the development and application of laser weapons.
Liu Tao glanced at the pump source next to him.
The role of the pump source is to excite the laser working material and pump the activated particles from the ground state to the high energy level to achieve particle number inversion.
Depending on the working material and the operating conditions of the laser, different excitation methods and excitation devices can be adopted. There are four common types: optical excitation (optical pumping), gas discharge excitation, chemical excitation and nuclear energy excitation.
The main purpose of the pump source laser using the light source is to effectively convert electrical energy into radiation energy and produce high radiation flux in a given spectral band. The most effective laser pump lamp will make the laser material produce the maximum emission at the wavelength of excitation fluorescence and the minimum emission in all spectral ranges outside the effective absorption band.
Commonly used pump sources include neon lamps, krypton lamps, and semiconductor lasers.
It can be understood that the pump source is the power supply of the laser weapon, which can play the role of power conversion efficiency.
Liu Tao looked at the power exciter again. Simply put, it can amplify the power of the power supply itself to meet the high power required by the laser weapon.
If you want to solve the laser weapon, then the pump source and the power exciter need to be solved.
Now, the countries researching laser weapons are stuck in the huge energy and conversion efficiency required by laser weapons.
After reorganizing and letting four technicians go down to rest, Liu Tao began to upgrade the pump source.
In a blink of an eye, a month has passed.
Liu Tao finally solved the bottleneck of laser weapons by continuously upgrading the pump source and the electric energy exciter.
Liu Tao pressed a small red controller button in his hand.
"Zizizizi--"
A beam of high-energy laser instantly shot out from one end of the laser cannon through the ytterbium laser glass.
The laser shot directly into the middle of a 50-centimeter-thick steel plate in front!
Almost instantly.
A dazzling white light was emitted from the middle of the steel plate, and the molten red steel flowed and dripped down.
At the same time, the computer next to it kept recording the test data.
Afterwards, Liu Tao kept adjusting and testing!
Constantly upgrading various components!
One technical problem after another was solved by Liu Tao!
The development progress of laser weapons is advancing at a terrifying speed.
The technical difficulties that plague laser weapon development experts in various countries in the world seem to be non-existent for Liu Tao.
Liu Tao's golden finger advantage in scientific research is fully reflected!
Just by developing this laser weapon, Liu Tao has saved at least more than 300 billion scientific research funds for the country.
When this laser weapon is successfully developed, it can be foreseen that in the future, on the basis of the missile-artillery combined air defense weapon system, there will be an air defense system that combines new air defense missiles, anti-aircraft guns and laser weapons.
In a short period of time, laser weapons play an auxiliary role, mainly intercepting short-range targets that suddenly attack from low altitude and ultra-low altitude. This will greatly improve the interception rate of precision weapons, solve the current medium and short-range air defense problems, and be used to defend important targets, such as important institutions, command centers, communications and power centers, etc.
In addition, there are anti-satellite and anti-missile, especially intercontinental missiles!
