After finishing his visit to Yongxia Island Fortress, Ye Zhou took a special plane to return to Rongcheng. When the plane was still in the air, he had already seen the news that the electromagnetic gun was on board on the TV, which made him more convinced of Ma Weiming's previous statement that "the electromagnetic gun is just a by-product."

Being able to conduct experiments in this area so openly, and then report them openly. Depending on the situation, it is probably just a backward product.

However, even the power of such backward equipment is enough to bring about revolutionary changes in Ye Zhou's opinion. If the hull structure can be adjusted in the next 055d, the electromagnetic cannon with greater power and longer range can be accommodated, and the laser anti-missile system is combined, it would be great?

Not to mention whether the era of giant cannons can be returned, at least, the future mode of maritime combat should undergo a series of major changes.

However, this day still takes enough time.

The most urgent task now is to get special quantum computers as soon as possible to win that precious window for the development of China's new technology.

Thinking of this, he turned on the computer and began to deal with a series of topological quantum computing-related problems that were to be solved one by one from Gonggeerfeng.

.........

On the Internet, news about electromagnetic guns has reached the top of the hot search list, and countless netizens gathered on the forum to discuss the latest test results.

"Damn, has the rabbit taken medicine recently? New equipment comes one after another, first with the H-20, then the exoskeleton, and now it is an electromagnetic cannon, and 003 is about to be released... What's going on? Our Chang'e-2 also picked up alien technology on the back of the moon?"

"What alien technology? Haven't you discovered it yet? The recent new equipment is related to previous technological breakthroughs. The H-20 is aeroengine, and the electromagnetic gun and exoskeleton correspond to the battery. 003...003 seems to have something to do with anything."

"But in short, that's the case. It's the development of military equipment forced by the development of applied technology. I irresponsible prediction that the next equipment released should be a laser anti-missile system."

"Really? Is laser anti-missile too sci-fi?"

"There is no science fiction. These are mature technologies. They can mainly solve the problems of capacitors and batteries. Laser anti-missiles can be practical. Now that the electromagnetic guns have come out, these two problems have obviously been solved. Think about it, will laser weapons still be far away?"

"Is this going to enter the new era directly?"

"What new era is all about backward technology. If you really want a new era, it depends on when the two-way foil can be made..."

"The second-way foil is impossible, but I think the light particles are getting faster... Wait, I have a problem. Didn't the Ugly Kingdom have been using electromagnetic guns before? How are they doing now?"

"Their research has been stopped long ago. They are not making money yet. They owe such a lot of debts. Now that the energy hegemony is lost, they are still electromagnetic guns. It would be good to play with their own aircraft carrier fleets."

"Then they can't react at all, right? The naval gun with an extreme range of 300 kilometers is scary."

"You know they didn't respond, maybe they're sitting together for a meeting now..."

......

As netizens have discussed, at this moment, on the other side of the sea, in the white house of Ugly Kingdom, a discussion on the latest released electromagnetic cannon is underway.

"...So, the situation is clear. Huaxia tested the latest electromagnetic gun system this morning, and the results were amazing."

"According to data, the range of their electromagnetic gun is about 300 kilometers, the initial muzzle velocity is 4,000 meters, and the ultimate rate of fire should be 15 rounds per minute."

"This data performance has far exceeded our expectations, and even surpassed our latest results - the results two years ago, when the maximum initial velocity of the muzzle we could reach was only 2,700 meters per second."

"According to this data, this electromagnetic gun has fully met the demand for practical combat. In the future, it will gradually replace short-range anti-ship missiles, or be paralleled with them, and greatly change the naval warfare pattern."

"If China fully replaces all ships, their firepower delivery capabilities will make a huge leap. Although battleships are not practical, if a shield sword can still have the firepower of a battleship without making any compromises to its anti-missile capabilities, the problem will be very serious."

"What's more serious is that since the other party has taken this step, it means that they must have arranged the next change in naval power. They may want to bring naval war back to the era of cannon giant ships in some way."

Hearing his words, the man in the suit sitting at the center of the conference table frowned and then spoke:

"Wishen, although I am not an expert in the military field, I also have basic military knowledge. I want to ask you, what do you mean by bringing naval warfare back to the era of cannon giant ships?"

"Both sides do not use missiles, they rely solely on shells to bombard within sight range? How is this possible? This is not a film of the Pacific Rim!"

Weisen shook his head helplessly and replied:

"I know this sounds ridiculous, but unfortunately, it may be one of the directions for the future."

"In theory, maritime offensive and defensive equipment is developing simultaneously, shield ships are getting stronger and stronger, anti-missile systems are getting stronger, and missiles are getting stronger and stronger."

"A very simple example is that in order to break through the opponent's air defense network, we have hypersonic missiles and low-altitude breakthrough missiles, and China has more advanced wave-body hypersonic missiles. These missiles are very advanced, but the problem is that they all develop symmetrically with air defense forces."

"No one can guarantee a 100% breakthrough, nor can anyone guarantee a 100% interception, it depends on saturation strikes and effective attack probability."

"However, there is a technology that will completely change the balance between offense and defense, that is, laser anti-missile."

"Gentlemen, you also know that laser anti-missile is one of our main attacks. In the latest experiment, our laser anti-missile system interception rate has approached 99%. What does this mean? This means that in the future, it is very likely that missiles will not achieve any results at all."

"No matter how many missiles you launch, the laser anti-missile system can burn the missile's navigation department at the speed of light, causing all missiles to completely lose their accuracy."

“Isn’t this a good thing for us?”

The man in the suit interrupted Weisen.

Weisen glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, and then continued to explain:

"Yes, this is a good thing for us, but the problem is that the other party also knows that this is a good thing for us, so they have to make electromagnetic guns."

"Lasers can intercept missiles, but they cannot intercept pure metal shells. Our development of laser weapons is an asymmetric strategy, and their electromagnetic guns are based on an asymmetric counter-strategy, or in other words, this is an asymmetric strategy for asymmetric strategies."

"Maybe their laser weapons are not as good as ours now, but they don't care, because once their electromagnetic guns continue to make breakthroughs, then the situation we are going to face is..."

"Neither of us can defend against each other. We can only fight quickly and exchange injuries for injuries."

Weisen saw that the man in the suit wanted to speak, so he immediately reached out to stop him.

"I know what you want to say, you probably want to say that our ships exceed them, our missiles exceed them. If we exchange them, we will still have the dominance, right?"

"That's right."

The man in the suit nodded.

"But you overlooked a problem. As I said, their 055d is the shield ship! The air defense firepower it has in itself is enough to withstand our two to three waves of attacks."

"A shield ship that can be attacked and defended rushed to the range of the electromagnetic gun with our missiles, and then poured bullets into us at a speed of 15 rounds per minute and a high-precision fire-controlled radar. Can you imagine that kind of picture? Anyway, as soon as I think about it, I feel trembling all over."

"Before attending this meeting, I had conducted a preliminary sand table simulation. The result of the simulation was that the ship loss ratio between our two sides would reach 4:1."

“Yes, we are that 4.”

After his words fell, the entire conference room was silent.

Everyone's faces showed a confused fear. They didn't understand why things had developed to this level, and they didn't understand why just an electromagnetic gun could bring such a big change to the maritime pattern.

A moment later, a slightly younger naval officer raised his hand, and after Weisen nodded, he spoke:

"Mr. Weisen, based on your inference just now, I have another... more terrible idea."

"Is it possible that in China, there is actually a laser anti-missile system? It is even possible that their laser anti-missile system is more advanced than ours?"

Weisen nodded with a heavy expression.

"What you said is not possible, but has become a certain fact."

"According to the information we have, the other party's Jiuquan and Xichang base are preparing for some kind of large rocket launch. Judging from the satellite image, what they are going to launch is likely a laser anti-missile system."

"Space-based laser anti-missile system!"

The man in the suit lowered his head silently. Even if he was amateur, he could still hear the meaning of these words.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked:

"Can we limit the development of laser technology on the other side? For example, through raw materials and technology..."

"You're wrong."

Weisen interrupted the other party without mercy.

"Although we have been developing laser weapons for a long time, the technology we use is still incoherent combined beam lasers, while in China, they use coherent synthesis."

"I can't explain the difference between the two in detail to you, but you just need to know that the other party's technology is 20 years ahead of us."

"In addition, not just technology, 90% of the raw materials related to lasers are rare earths, and I don't think I need to say more about China's control over rare earths, right?"

"So, your idea is totally anti-op."

"It's not how we limit the development of laser technology in China, but how we should escape their restrictions on us in the shortest time."

After saying this, the atmosphere in the conference room also changed quietly.

The sound of flipping the paper sparsely sounded, and everyone began to do their best to deduce possible solutions. It seemed that after realizing their "prey", their originally frustrated emotions were actually wiped out.

If Ye Zhou could see this scene, he would definitely sigh at the opponent's strength and resilience.

After all, being able to become the world's number one power in just a hundred years should never be despised.

However, this did not affect the established strategy of China.

Just four hours after the electromagnetic gun test results were announced, Huaxia announced that it would completely stop exporting rare earth and rare earth products. At the same time, Xichang and Jiuquan satellite launch bases have successively disclosed their recent launch plans.

Many years later, when people look back, they may suddenly realize that the beginning of the era of anti-ship missiles happened on this day.
