Tower Defense Strategy - Chapter 303

Are electromagnetic orbital launch site.

Are is a foresight among a group of oil guys. It has been planning tourism very early, and within a few decades, it has changed from an obscure peasant country to one of the top destinations for the world’s richest travelers.

The professional team invited is indeed professional enough. In this process, Are has the world’s best airline (beautiful people and good service), and gradually becomes the air transportation distribution center of the world island and the center of Heizhou, and the development of the port There is also improvement.

But like other oil guys, Are also likes to build wonders.

What is the world’s largest concentrating power station, the most luxurious hotel, the tallest building, the largest biofuel (algae) plant, the largest desalination plant, etc.

Electromagnetic orbital launch towers can undoubtedly be made into “spectacles.”

They chose a very good place, on the edge of the largest city, as long as the building is more than 13 stories high, you can use the telescope to cross the desert, and you can clearly see the moment the rocket is thrown into the air to escape from the acceleration shell and ignite.

For an artificial body of the carrier rocket level, few countries in the world can complete the technological breakthrough in the action of air shelling. The moment the electromagnetic rocket is ignited in the air, there is no doubt that it is an artificial spectacle.

In order to match the spectacle, Are has several major projects launched simultaneously in XX24.

One is the integrated ocean power grid.

This thing is a comprehensive power network including offshore wind energy, surge power generation, and snorkeling power storage.

There is no difference between offshore wind energy and ground-based wind energy. Since country C specially made offshore wind power erection vessels a few years ago, the funding threshold for this project has been relatively lowered.

What needs to be mentioned is that offshore wind power is often unavailable. If the wind is too small, the blades will not turn, and if the wind is too large (above level 8), it will not turn, so it can only be used as a supplement to the grid. The best match is hydropower… Hydropower can cooperate well with anyone.

Are lacks fresh water resources, and naturally there is no common large-scale river hydropower.

Surge power generation is a supplement. Its principle is similar to wind power, except that it is driven by water wheels. In order to meet surges in all directions, it can adjust its direction.

There are many forms. One type of main body is underwater (shallow sea). In order to prevent the surge power station from turning into a reef, it has a useless structure that extends out of the water and becomes a buoy, which can naturally also be used as a marine environment detection point; A main structure is on the surface of the water (various sea depths), fixed with anchors, usually in the shape of a scissors or a knotted stick, which can be opened and closed according to the conditions of the waves to increase or decrease the frontal surface.

It is more stable than wind resources, has a lower technical threshold, lower initial investment, that is, more corrosion and barnacle adhesion, and greater investment in operation and maintenance.

Snorkeling storage power is the core stabilizer of the entire network.

There is no technical content. When there is electricity, the buoy on the sea is pulled down, and when the power is short, the buoy is released to drive the motor to generate electricity.

Due to the monster disaster on the sea, the snorkeling storage battery cannot be deployed in the deep sea, but the oil guys have money and just add area.

When the trinity is built, the entire area becomes a no-navigation zone, and only small ships for maintenance can be used.

In order to ensure safety, several lighthouses with cannon and torpedo launching capabilities have been deployed near the open sea. There are personnel on duty in the lighthouses for daily patrols using unmanned submersibles.

By the end of the project, the defensive surface has been completed; the deployment of wind power installations is 60% complete, with a maximum power generation capacity of 630 MW; 30% of surge power generation is completed, with a maximum power generation capacity of 110 MW; the deployment of snorkeling storage power will affect the construction. There is less progress, and some of the power storage capacity that has been built is only 2 MWh.

The second project is the power grid!

Are already has the largest concentrating power station contracted by country C. Commerce is part of it, and it is more for creating wonders.

Compared with photovoltaics, concentrating power stations need to invest a little more manpower, and the advantage is the construction cost. Now it needs to be spread out in a large area in a short time to support the electric tiger of the electromagnetic transmitter. Photovoltaic is more suitable.

Cooperating with it is a kinetic energy loading device placed at the launch site.

It’s a bit like the kinetic energy storage used on Kunpeng, but the purpose is different.

Assuming that during the daytime, the current generated by the entire Are photovoltaic and concentrating power generation, due to the increase in daytime power consumption of factories, air conditioners, etc., can only allow the entire power grid to obtain a load margin of 500 MW, which is far from enough for electromagnetic rail transmitters.

At this time, an energy loading device is needed. With huge power, a few large overweight wheels are pushed up. When the loading device reaches a preset peak value, the power grid is switched back to direct supply, and the launch site can obtain additional power supply.

Industrial energy storage has always been the focus of power development, but the development is very bad.

Before the monster crisis, practical large-scale energy storage mainly relied on two types: reservoir storage and compressed gas storage.

Reservoir energy storage uses high-drop reservoirs specially built for energy storage. When the power grid is surplus, water is pumped in from a low place, and water is released for power generation when it is needed. Because of water evaporation and kinetic energy conversion, the utilization rate cannot be said to be high. Its advantage is that it can also work part-time for flood peak adjustment, agricultural irrigation and other functions like normal reservoirs, and the overall benefits are good.

Compressed gas storage uses salt caverns to store energy. These salt caves are the legacy of early salt washing collections. Because of the geological connection of washing salt, their airtightness and water tightness can be guaranteed. In terms of use, the air is directly blown in, and when used, the air is deflated with a fan, or it is pressurized with a turbine to generate electricity.

There are other smaller-scale industrial power storage models that are less cost-effective and difficult to commercialize.

The kinetic energy storage in front of us, because it is difficult for the large device to maintain a full internal vacuum in the atmosphere for a long time, there is aerodynamic resistance in the equipment, and the energy decays quickly. The energy storage time can only be calculated by the hour, and the cost performance is lower.

But it has an advantage that it can’t compare to others-it doesn’t pick the terrain, it’s very suitable for the electromagnetic orbit launcher, which consumes a lot of power in a short time.

After the completion of the first electromagnetic orbital launcher, in order to reduce the burden of new power facilities and reduce the impact on the work and life of surrounding cities during launch, country C began to invest in this aspect, and one after another was built next to each launch site. A lot.

The model built in Are has a maximum discharge power of 30 MW for a single machine, three stacks of upper and lower, covering an area of ​​less than two hundred square meters, including enough cranes and maintenance access for a single machine, and less than one 900 MW kinetic energy loading device. Hectares, in an unfriendly environment such as salt spray, high humidity, and dust, a factory building is covered. In fact, there are larger single machines, but they are limited by transportation conditions and local production conditions and cannot be afforded.

This kinetic energy loading device is now on sale everywhere, and it is also used by Eth with the electromagnetic gun.

The third project is naturally defense.

It’s completely different from Eth’s thinking. Are doesn’t count on the combat capabilities of his home and surrounding lords at all, so it fully adopts the turret chain of remote, wired encrypted signal management.

The so-called turret chain means that each electromagnetic gun will cover the range of at least two other turrets. In fact, some key defense areas, such as the southeast of the core city of Are, can deploy seven to ten turrets within three kilometers. , Within the range of a single electromagnetic turret, there may be thirty turrets.

Electromagnetic turrets have a longer range, heavier projectiles thrown, and power consumption is equally scary. Regional salvos may even burn the main line of the power grid. Therefore, it is also necessary to have its own power storage plan.

The Are part is mainly based on the deployment density, using batteries or kinetic energy storage solutions or combinations in places with different densities to ensure that in any case, at least a few rounds of salvo can be used.

Probably because of the flustered money, Are also purchased additional parts for the electromagnetic turret, a 15mm caliber semi-electromagnetic cannon.

This thing was just made in Country C itself, and I hadn’t decided whether to equip the troops or not, so it was suddenly attracted by Are’s purchaser.

The concept of a semi-electromagnetic gun is present in “Planet Strategy”, but Earth Globe did not have it before.

The principle is to use gunpowder to provide additional initial velocity, and the electromagnetic accelerating tube can make the projectile reach a suitable velocity with lower energy consumption.

However, the ignition of gunpowder will generate a huge amount of heat. If the acceleration effect of the gunpowder is to be ensured, it must be activated in a confined space, which will further cause local overheating. For superconductors, which are very temperature-sensitive materials, there are simply two systems that are completely incompatible.

It was not until this year that the development of the Black Magic series reached a certain level, and the semi-electromagnetic gun was not possible.

The work of the Black Magic requires a high temperature environment, and it is a temperature range of only a hundred degrees. The relevant research institutions have deduced and discussed, and they all feel that the threshold for making a cannon is lower, because the shooting characteristics of a cannon are more conducive to natural temperature maintenance. As for the problem of temperature imbalance in each part, heat conduction and heat dissipation structures can be used to balance it.

The initial temperature of the 15mm caliber electromagnetic machine gun is the result of the black magic conduction and self-heating. The heat conduction and heat dissipation structure is extremely complicated. The result is an average outer diameter of two hundred millimeters and a thicker rear end~www.mtlnovel.com ~ There are four fans on the top and sides.

Because the real thing is too bloated, it is simply positioned as a vehicle and directly docked with the existing electromagnetic tank and turret system, which means that it is not considered to save too much electricity for the time being.

The resulting effect is indeed not comparable to that of a simple gunpowder weapon. At a rate of fire of 200 rounds per minute, the projectile exit velocity is 2800 meters per second, and the muzzle kinetic energy is nine times or more than that of conventional projectiles of the same quality.

I also used my mind to the speed of the chamber. It is useless if it is slow. The range is not enough. It is better to use a cannon-type tank gun; it is too fast to be decelerated by air and heated too severely. Cannonballs are difficult and can be made, but they have no aerodynamic stability, so just don’t.

The speed of 2800 is the final balance of factors such as process difficulty and power consumption. It can barely cause trauma to the first-level monster at a distance of five kilometers, and a better blow effect can be achieved within three kilometers.

An electromagnetic gun turret with the same electric power can achieve continuous firing of two 15mm cannons. In theory, it can single out some more suitable first-level monsters. Actually…has not been combated yet.

The goal of the research organization is to use this thing as a pod as soon as possible and improve it to be able to mount a fighter jet.
