Release that Witch Chapter 1323: Defect
A week later, a strangely shaped vehicle slowly entered the test field.
It is the first crawler tractor manufactured and assembled by Neverwinter City Ministry of Industry based on a full set of drawings and technical guidance provided by the Ashpot Design Bureau. Except that the chassis is the same, its appearance is different from the test product. The vehicle is surrounded by a thick armor plate, which at first glance looks like a moving square box.
After driving into the explosive area, it stayed for about half an hour in front of the melting tower, then turned its head and headed south along the same road.
After driving for about five kilometers, a wheeled truck came close and picked up all the people on the car, while the box-box tractor was directly abandoned in the snow.
This group of people went all the way and returned from Great Snow Mountain to Neverwinter City the next day.
The Roland who got the news summoned them into the castle as soon as possible.
"How's it? No surprises?"
"Please be assured that Your Majesty, everything is going well." Felice smiled and presented a piece of Sigil to him, "Asia quickly positioned to the picture at the time, and we stayed shorter than expected." >
"Because of the specific time point, this is not too difficult," Asia said somewhat shyly. "Compared with other sisters, my ability to control the ability is poor ..."
"Okay, don't be humble."
"Yes, it's true ..."
Roland took over Sigil, but still looked serious. He tilted his head to the Momo at his side, "Trouble you."
"No, you are serious, Your Majesty." Momo reached out to cover one side of the eyes, so as not to see His Majesty The King, and at the same time exert its ability. After a while, she put down her hand and bowed to Roland. "Everyone's numbers and colors have not changed significantly, which is basically the same as when set off."
Until then, Roland was relieved and smiled, "It's hard for you."
"You too," witches replied in unison.
"The meeting room has prepared meals. Chaos Drink is available in unlimited quantities. Let's fill your stomach first." Looking at everyone with a happy face, he shook his head with a smile. As for the Taquila witch participating in the action, they are basically regulars in the dream world, and there is no need to give any additional rewards.
Using the retrospective ability of Asia to closely observe the instantaneous change of weapon when it acts, has always been the improvement method that the Engineering Department relies on most. By adjusting the backtracking speed, you can clearly understand the state change trend of the target at each moment, and most problems and omissions can be seen at a glance.
But as mentioned before, Splendor of the Sun is different from other weapons, especially the dirty bombs that have not fully responded. Many substances that emit lethal radiation will remain at the scene. If they rush in, they will undoubtedly be harmed by huge amounts of radiation.
For this reason, Roland has invested in the first track tractor prototype and converted it into a radiation-proof vehicle --. Its left and right rear sides and the floor are wrapped with multilayer lead plates with gold foil and beryllium sheets in the middle. The overall thickness is up to ten centimeters, which makes it have a high shielding effect on photon, electron and neutron jets. And the structural weight brought by comprehensive protection is also only magic cube powered steam engine can afford.
In addition, the internal oxygen of the vehicle is almost completely isolated from the outside, avoiding the risk of radiation dust entering the vehicle from the ventilation channel. In order to observe the scene of the explosion, a huge piece of leaded glass was installed in front of the car body, and the thickness reached an astonishing thirty centimeters.
Considering that entering and exiting the test field may cause contamination on the tracks and armor, he also specifically requested that the vehicle be replaced as soon as the personnel were sent out of the most dangerous core area, and the former was directly discarded in the snow.
It can be said that all the security measures Roland can think of have been used, but even so, it is still difficult for him to relax.
Fortunately, the final results show that this observation operation was a complete success.
After getting the first-hand information from the scene, Roland immediately started research with Anna and Celine.
...
Using time Sigil to repeatedly play back the retrospective scene that slowed down hundreds of times at that time, the defects of the No. 1 principle device gradually surfaced.
"Our explosive performance is too poor." Anna whispered.
"I can also see that the impact of the explosion did not seem to be successfully transmitted to the 'gun barrel'," Celine point main tentacle, "Can you use batch detonation to improve this problem?"
"I'm afraid I don't have much hope in a short time." Roland rubbed his sour eyes and watched the explosion record for two days. He felt that the whole world was only left with blue and white.
Although he had anticipated the problem with explosives, he did not expect it to be so obvious.
Neverwinter City has been mass producing double-base smokeless gunpowder. Although it is not as violent in energy and detonation speed as high explosives such as Hessoukin, it is sufficient for the military. Even if the power is not enough, it can be made up by quantity. However, when put into the principle device, the trouble appeared.
More than one thousand kilograms of explosive is not a point on the design. It is stacked as large as a safe. In order to allow the explosion energy to be transmitted to the uranium block, Roland has also specially made a lens similar to a funnel. Hope to gather the impact as much as possible.
There is no problem with this idea, but the situation has already occurred before the detonation has reached this point. Because the total volume of the drug pack is too large, each point is detonated simultaneously, so that the shock waves generated by the front and rear explosives cancel each other The less -- can be clearly seen from the retrospective slow playback. The shock waves that collide with each other drastically deform the entire steel lens and even the shell, which means that a lot of energy is acting outside the 'gun barrel'. And the energy that pushes uranium blocks is naturally much less.
Next is a chain reaction.
Insufficient pressure in the borehole caused the fission to stop soon, and most of the uranium was gasified at high temperature, which also weakened the effect of the neutron source in disguise.
"You can only think of a solution from another way." Roland said in a hand. Without electronic explosion control technology, it is almost a matter of impossible to want to excite all explosives in turn in a thousandth of a second, so that the front and back shock waves overlap. Even switching to high explosives has only improved and failed to eradicate the problem.
He can let Ministry of Chemistry try to study low-speed explosives and place them in front of the lens to reduce the interaction between explosives as much as possible. However, this process may require a lot of experiments to deploy. Can we still say whether it can be successful? The most reliable way today is obviously to make up for the deficiencies in detonation technology through structural design.
"It looks like I have to work overtime again tonight." He stretched a lazy back and said weakly.
"I will stay with you." Anna laughed, "How about rewarding a black fire massage?"
"Suddenly full of energy," Roland refreshed, "Are there any other rewards?"
"Like what?"
"Let me think about ... yes, what about the last one mentioned ..."
Is this also the knowledge I learned from the dream world ...
Celine covered the slightly hot face with main tentacle and quietly left the Northern Slope laboratory.
