Chapter 287 Three Fast Principles
Research in electromagnetic physics has certainly not only achieved breakthroughs in the field of electromagnetic railguns.
After developing the long-range electromagnetic cannon ammunition derived from graviton physics, Fan Ren simply held a small meeting and discussion with Jin Qiaoying and Li Jian, who had rushed over from the training ground upon receiving the news.
Regarding the economic and trade affairs under the jurisdiction of Deputy Head Jin Qiaoying, the two discussed the feasibility of whether this long-range ammunition could be sold in the star market to earn star coins.
As a genius in economics and trade, Jin Qiaoying of course nodded in agreement.
After all, this is the first new ammunition in the entire galactic alliance that is of epoch-making significance and a milestone that will change the combat thinking of the electromagnetic railgun weapon system.
According to the high technological lead of the advanced civilization over the lower civilization in the Galactic Alliance, the huge profits brought by arms sales, once this kind of ammunition is on the market, the profits will at least increase tenfold.
This was still her conservative estimate. After all, there was currently no public information on the actual combat use of this type of ammunition.
As a highly liberalized market with highly confidential information for both parties to the transaction, the star domain market itself is so broad that it covers almost all of the hundreds of millions of civilizations in the entire Galactic Alliance.
Faced with such a huge market, according to Jin Qiaoying's idea, even for those civilizations that use electromagnetic railgun series weapons, the profits brought by a small amount of applicable purchases will be astronomical.
After all, electromagnetic railguns have always been a low-profile option for weapon selection for most civilizations in the Galactic Alliance.
The effective range of 200 kilometers is really too close for a mobile ship moving at thousands of kilometers per second in space.
Even though it has a high rate of fire and strong kinetic power, it is not a priority because of its range.
But now, Fanren's research results have solved this problem at once, and its range directly exceeds the missile weapons preferred by most low-level civilizations.
This will force these low-level civilizations to make careful decisions.
One piece of ammunition is priced at 1000 star coins, which is the best pricing plan at present when there is no actual combat data feedback.
On the other hand, Fan Ren was a little hesitant.
The main reason for his hesitation was that the manufacturing technology of this ammunition involved gravity-related technologies that only a fourth-level civilization could interpret.
This forced him to be careful.
After all, they have always interpreted the positions of the five super civilizations at the center of the Galactic Alliance in a speculative manner.
If their speculation is true, then it is obvious that the emergence of this technology will inevitably attract the attention of relevant parties.
And now, the Fox Pirates’ account is already selling the jump engines.
Fan Ren was worried that once long-range ammunition was put on the star market again, the Fox Pirates would definitely be targeted due to the attention this ammunition would bring.
As for the so-called confidentiality of customer information, Fan Ren merely regarded it as a rule that excluded the five super civilizations.
After all, as rule makers, all the rules they make are to better serve their control over other civilizations.
His idea was an unsolvable problem for Jin Qiaoying.
The key to the problem still lies in the Fox Pirates and the current strength of human civilization itself.
As a covert, illegal organization, the Fox Pirates' very existence is no longer accepted by mainstream civilizations.
The sale of jump engines in the star market today may be due to low production, which is not very noticeable compared to the shipment volume of level 4 and 5 civilizations. It can be analyzed as reselling.
However, once this kind of self-developed gravity science product is put on sale, it will surely attract great attention from these civilizations. One very important point is that in the weapon effective range ranking, the first place is well deservedly the laser-type weapon used by only the five super civilizations.
Ranked second are missile weapons, which are relatively backward in terms of technological level but have high cost-effectiveness in terms of practicality and cost.
The third is projectile cannon-type weapons with slow firing rate but huge single-target power, whose effective range is generally within 100-1000 kilometers.
Interestingly, this weapon is similar to the electromagnetic railgun in nature, for example, the muzzle velocity and ammunition flight speed are almost the same.
As for the range that exceeds the range, it is because the turret itself is small in size and has a targeted design on the barrel tracking speed, so that this weapon system can rely on the turret to track and rotate the locked target relatively flexibly, thereby greatly increasing its range.
In contrast, electromagnetic railgun-type weapons cannot achieve this effect due to their extremely long acceleration tracks.
That is to say, in terms of turret tracking speed, the electromagnetic railgun is basically zero, which makes it extremely difficult for the ammunition to hit mobile targets more than 200 kilometers away.
But coincidentally, the ammunition used by projectile cannons is relatively expensive.
After all, it contains the relatively expensive liquid metallic hydrogen in the Galactic Alliance as the source of the chamber's explosive power.
Similarly, the ammunition for long-range electromagnetic railguns is not cheap.
And finally, we encountered the electromagnetic railgun, a weapon system that is invincible in close combat and originally had a range of 200 kilometers.
However, due to Fanren’s research results, this ranking should now be changed.
He increased the effective range of the electromagnetic railgun, which originally had an effective range of only 200 kilometers, to an exaggerated level of 5000 kilometers in one go.
It is conceivable that this level of improvement will definitely provide a new choice for civilizations in the Galactic Alliance that use weapons systems other than lasers.
This will also inevitably bring a huge impact to the original arms market.
Under this great change, the illegal pirate group, as an unofficial organization, will inevitably be noticed by the five super civilizations.
If it is sold as human civilization, it will conflict with the original policy formulated by the committee to "store up food and slowly become king", develop steadily, and try to accumulate a certain amount of strength in a low-key manner.
It does not conform to their original development strategy.
Ultimately, the proposal to sell this type of weapon and ammunition was temporarily shelved because the above-mentioned problems could not be resolved.
The prerequisite for everything is that you must have a certain level of strength.
Everyone understands the principle that it is a crime to possess a treasure.
Li Jian's plan was relatively simple. This type of ammunition must be equipped in large quantities on various types of warships of the Qingluan Legion, as the main ammunition to replace the previous ammunition with an effective range of only 200 kilometers.
The ammunition in the past was used as backup ammunition, and its main purpose was only to be used when conditions were suitable and after approaching the target, with the strategic idea of saving combat costs.
But no matter what, the overall combat strategy of the Qingluan Legion is still based on the "three speeds" principle formulated by several people before.
Enter the battlefield quickly, kill the enemy quickly, and leave the battlefield quickly.
All of this is inseparable from a weapon system with a high rate of fire and ultra-long-range shooting range, so as to avoid a tug-of-war caused by range issues during combat, which makes the three-speed principle unable to be effectively implemented.
