"So, did you hit the target reef?"

Seeing Vice Commander Wei's expression somewhat strange, General Cheng asked anxiously.

"Good news, bad news!"

"The good news is that thirty shells have all hit the target reef with precision!"

Deputy Commander Wei put down his communication equipment and said to the crowd.

"Did all thirty shells hit with precision?"

"This is really great news!"

"What about the bad news?"

General Cheng first showed a surprised expression, and then asked curiously.

"The bad news is that these thirty shells, due to their high kinetic energy and power, directly lifted our target reef!"

"This target reef was originally significantly several meters above sea level, but now all the parts on the water have been blown up!"

"This target reef is considered abandoned!"

Deputy Commander Wei made an effort to show a look of heartache and said.

But when others around looked at Deputy Commander Wei, they could clearly see that he was struggling to suppress the rising corners of his mouth!

This is clearly two good news!

No one expected the power of electromagnetic railguns to be so great!

"The end strike speed of Mach 17 is really too fast!"

"If a few hundred kilograms of iron falls, its kinetic energy and speed can smash a big hole into the target reef!"

"Not to mention dozens of hypersonic shells using ground penetrating warheads!"

Cheng Canmou said excitedly with a red light on his face.

This electromagnetic railgun is definitely a great weapon in terms of range, firing rate, strike accuracy, and degree of damage!

"General Qin, you coast guards are really rich and powerful!"

"By firing four or five shells at once, the firing rate of the electromagnetic railgun can be calculated."

"But you've fired dozens of shots, but it's only a matter of time now?"

Captain Liu Hong said with envy.

Having commanded the 52C destroyer for so many years, he had never seen such a bold live fire test.

It's like anti-ship missiles on a warship, firing two or three missiles together would be overwhelming.

How could there be such a situation where everything is overwhelming, mountains are roaring, and steel rain is directly pouring down!

"Yes, how much does this combo cost?"

Deputy Commander Wei also asked curiously.

The firepower of this electromagnetic railgun is similar to that of a far-field battalion.

But when twelve long-range rocket launchers from a far-fire camp were fired at in unison, they would cost billions of dollars in military expenses.

After all, the cost of large caliber long-range rockets, even at a cost price, is over one million dragon coins.

And even the farthest Guardian 2D rocket has a range that cannot be compared to an electromagnetic railgun, only 480 kilometers!

If we compare medium range ballistic missiles with supersonic weapons with a range of one to two thousand kilometers, their value is even higher.

Its basic cost is over ten million yuan!

So everyone is curious, how much did the coast guard spend on that round of continuous shooting just now?

"Just one minute ago, we fired about 30 shells in a row!"

"According to cost calculation, it will cost approximately 5 million dragon coins!"

Qin Chuan roughly estimated and said.

"How much?"

"5 million dragon coins?"

"One or a total?"

General Cheng was shocked.

It's not because it's too expensive, but because it's too cheap.

So much so that he couldn't believe it.

I even doubted whether it was one or a total!

"Of course, it costs a total of 5 million dragon coins!"

"The highest cost for missiles and long-range large caliber rockets is in rocket engines and a large amount of solid propulsion fuel!"

"After all, it is definitely not a simple task to transport a weight of hundreds or even thousands of kilograms to hundreds to thousands of kilometers away."

"However, the electromagnetic launch of the electromagnetic railgun directly replaced the role of the rocket engine and solid propulsion fuel, giving the projectile an initial velocity of Mach 6 from the beginning."

"So the cost of 200000 yuan per shell is almost entirely the cost of warheads and structurally simple scramjet engines!"

"Another thing is to use a little electricity when launching electromagnetic railguns!"

Qin Chuan explained.

"Electricity bill?"

When Qin Chuan raised all the electricity bills, both General Cheng and Deputy Commander Wei laughed.

These less than 200000 supersonic shells are almost as expensive as cabbage in the arms industry. Do you still calculate the electricity bill?

"It seems that we have all fallen into the trap of traditional thinking."

"The cost of shells launched by electromagnetic railguns cannot be calculated using traditional methods due to their completely different propulsion methods from traditional rockets and missiles!"

"I never expected that the launch cost of this electromagnetic railgun with a range of 2000 kilometers would be so low!"

"Electromagnetic railguns are definitely a national treasure!"

General Cheng smiled and said.

Today, the launch of the 003 aircraft carrier for sea trials was already an extremely happy day.

But he didn't expect such a huge surprise waiting for him!

"The leader praised it too much, but in fact, electromagnetic railguns also have their own shortcomings."

"For example, if the projectile hits at a speed exceeding Mach 17 at the end, it cannot avoid the problem of communication blackouts!"

"If an aircraft carrier is traveling at a speed of 30 knots from 1500 kilometers away, and we wait for five minutes for our shells to fly to that area, the carrier has actually traveled 5 kilometers away!"

Qin Chuan took the initiative to ask a question.

And his words also made the two leaders ponder.

Just now they only tested the fixed target and did not consider the issue of moving the target.

However, shortly after, the questions raised by Qin Chuan were ignored by the two leaders.

You are a coast guard ship, really want to fight an aircraft carrier!

"General Qin, what you said is not a problem at all."

"We have the Dongfeng Express system and the carrier based Eagle Strike series to combat aircraft carriers. This is their mission!"

"The most important strategic task of electromagnetic railguns is to strike fixed enemy radar positions, airports, and other fixed targets!"

"There is no weapon system that perfectly balances everything, only a tactical system that cooperates seamlessly with each other!"

General Cheng said to Qin Chuan.

In his opinion, what Qin Chuan said is not really a problem or a flaw.

Because the birth of each weapon and equipment has its main purpose and direction.

The threat and damage degree of electromagnetic rail gun to fixed targets is absolutely at the level of Rocket.

Since that's the case, why use it to hit moving targets?

"Chief, I am raising this question because there are currently two solutions under consideration and I would like you to provide some feedback."

"Instead of..."

Qin Chuan listened to the two leaders comforting each other and quickly spoke with a slightly gentle tone.

"Ah, General Qin, is that what you mean?"

General Cheng and Deputy Commander Wei were both dumbfounded.

They just thought Qin Chuan was expressing regret about the electromagnetic railgun.

So quickly analyze and comfort!

But unexpectedly, Qin Chuan wanted them to provide reference opinions.

Electromagnetic railguns, can they really hit aircraft carriers?
