Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 562: Corrosion-resistant materials

To resist the high temperature corrosion vesicles of alien creatures, upgrading the outer armor material is the most direct way.

When it comes to corrosion-resistant materials, Chen Xin first thinks of ceramics and ceramic armor.

Ceramic corrosion resistance is a common sense that many people know.

Before Chen Xin became an online writer, he used to work in the chemical industry, where dealing with all kinds of corrosive things is quite normal.

Among them, parts or linings made of ceramics, plastics, and other corrosion-resistant materials are the most direct response to the corrosion of metal materials by various chemical substances during use.

Plastics are resistant to corrosion, which may subvert many people's perceptions, but in fact such plastics do exist, and are even widely used in the chemical industry.

But this plastic is obviously not suitable for armor.

After all, corrosion-resistant plastic is corrosion-resistant. Its strength and hardness are not high enough. Although it is not enough to be pierced with a knife, it is far from being able to be used as armor.

As for whether it is possible to increase the strength of corrosion-resistant plastic to the hardness that can be used as tank armor, this is naturally possible, but whether it is the cost and time investment of research and development, it is not worth it, and it cannot satisfy the current situation. battlefield needs.

At this time, it is not to be as perfect as possible in the laboratory, but to try to come up with the things that can be used to meet the needs of the battlefield. As for the follow-up improvement, it can be done slowly matter.

This is why, looking at the military equipment during World War II, the early models were all messed up and full of experimental things, while the equipment produced in the later period obviously had a more optimized design and was more adaptable to changes in the battlefield.

So instead of looking for ways to improve the performance of plastics, it is better to think of a more practical way.

In fact, the armor of modern tanks is no longer composed of a single material. The composite armor used by modern tanks is to superimpose multiple layers of materials with different properties to obtain the properties of multiple materials and achieve a thin layer of armor. It is equivalent to the effect of the thick mean armor in the past.

Therefore, Chen Xin wants to improve the outer armor of tanks and Titans, and the use of composite armor is the easiest and most effective method.

All he has to do is develop a new type of composite armor.

It's just not that easy.

In addition to plastics, corrosion-resistant materials include ceramics, and ceramic composite armor has long been used in the military field.

But on the battlefield, even tanks equipped with ceramic composite armor are still difficult to resist the high temperature corrosion vesicles of alien creatures.

The reason is largely because the ceramic composite armor is designed to resist armor-piercing projectiles, not corrosion.

The firing principle of the ceramic layer is different, plus the thickness of the ceramic layer itself, after the high hardness alloy steel on the armor surface is corroded, the ceramic layer filled with glass fiber reinforced resin by ceramic **** in the middle cannot resist high temperature corrosion liquid So that the bottom layer of high-toughness alloy steel will also be eroded through.

So in order to resist the attack of alien corrosive vesicles, it is necessary to isolate the corrosive liquid in the outermost layer.

"The outermost layer is coated with anti-corrosion plastic, the middle is supported by a high-hardness ceramic interlayer, and the bottom layer is still made of high-toughness alloy steel. You think this design can resist the attack of corrosive vesicles by alien organisms. Is it?" In the makeshift laboratory, Chen Xin asked other researchers in the laboratory while drawing a schematic diagram on the whiteboard.

Several researchers frowned and shook their heads while listening to Chen Xin's explanation.

"It's a good idea, but for plastic, no matter how hard it is, it's hard to match the performance of steel, and even if the performance can meet the requirements, the production cost will be very high in this situation!" One The researcher poured cold water a little, but he was obviously thinking from a practical point of view.

At this time, another researcher also interjected: "And the key is that even if we develop new armor, we have to replace all the tanks currently equipped by the military. In this case, the investment is too large. And even if the country agrees to this plan, it will take a lot of time to replace all tanks with new armor."

"It's easy to say if you change your outfit. The big deal is to use armor plates to attach armor. Although the effect is less, it can still play a defensive effect. Now the key is how to design new armor." Another researcher also joined the discussion, And put forward his opinion: "Academician, your design actually boils down to creating a corrosion-resistant isolation layer on the surface of the existing armor to isolate the erosion of corrosive vesicles thrown by alien creatures. If this is the case, we Is it possible to apply a special protective coating directly on the surface of the existing tank armor to achieve the same effect?"

"Protective coating? Coating?" As soon as Chen Xin heard the researcher's words, he immediately understood what he meant.

This is indeed more practical than changing to new armor. At the same time, both the cost and investment are much lower, and it can meet the needs of the battlefield faster.

And developing a new type of paint to paint and coat the tank is easier than developing a new type of armor to completely refit the tank.

"If this is the case, then our research and development direction will be on protective coatings!" Chen Xin also quickly adjusted his thinking and determined a new research and development direction, but he still emphasized: "But even if we are now The development of new protective coatings~IndoMTL.com~ The development of new protective armor cannot be pulled down. We should develop a new type of material or armor that can resist the attack of alien creatures, which can be used as a technical reserve and applied to the next generation The Titans come up."

There is nothing wrong with Chen Xin's words. The research and development idea of ​​Yan Guo's military industry has always been to develop a generation, reserve a generation, and use a generation.

New paints can be applied to the battlefield immediately, while new armor can be used as a technical reserve for the next generation of equipment.

Just this idea is undoubtedly based on the fact that this war will last for a long time. After all, only alien creatures will use corrosive liquid as an attack.

Wars between normal humans will still focus on penetrating rather than corroding armor.

Therefore, whether it is anti-corrosion paint or anti-corrosion armor, it is only used to deal with alien creatures. If the alien creatures can be eliminated in a short time, these things will not be useful.

"Academician, do you think this war will last long?" a researcher asked his own question.
