Chapter 697 The idea of ??double installation

    ??

    ¡°The idea of ??dual cannons is indeed feasible, but it is not practical.¡± After receiving the report from Jiang Juan, Chen Xin¡¯s evaluation after reviewing it was that it was not practical.

    "Academician, why do you think it's not practical? Can't the design of dual machine guns double the amount of firepower delivered?" Jiang Juan, who was called to the office by Chen Xin, was a little unconvinced.

    The idea she put forward was based on her actual experience on the battlefield. It was obviously unacceptable to her to be directly rejected by Chen Xin.

    Chen Xin shook his head and asked her: "Since you are a Titan pilot and have used cannons then let me ask you, what kind of cannons does the Master type use?"

    "The cannon equipped with the Duke type is the 23-1 aircraft cannon, with a caliber of 23mm. It uses 23mm standard aircraft cannon shells and is a single-barreled sliding movement cannon." As a driver, Jiang Juan said:  The Titan and supporting equipment are still very familiar.

    Chen Xin nodded slightly, still very satisfied with her professional ability, so he continued to ask: "Not to mention the technical difficulty of the double-mounted transformation, I only ask you, connect the two cannons together in parallel to make a double-mounted cannon.  For a coupled machine gun, what is the distance between the two muzzles? Have you calculated it?"

    "This" Jiang Juan hesitated for a moment, but quickly replied loudly: "Report, no!"

    "It won't be more than 20 centimeters." Chen Xin announced the answer to Jiang Juan and explained: "It's not that I haven't thought about the design of twin-mounted cannons, and it's not even that there are no double-barreled cannons that can be used, but in the end we still  The reason for choosing a single-barreled machine gun is not because you can't afford a double-barreled machine gun or don't want to use a double-barreled machine gun, but because a double-barreled machine gun delivers twice as much firepower as a single-barreled machine gun and does not perform well on the battlefield.  Effect."

    "Why? With one more barrel, wouldn't it be possible to fire one more shell and cause greater damage?" Jiang Juan asked strangely.

    Chen Xin shook his head, obviously a little disappointed that Jiang Juan could ask such a question, but he still explained: "If it is used to hit targets such as aircraft or tanks, then doubling the firepower delivery can indeed solve the problem.  But the problem is that we are fighting alien creatures now.

    One round of 23mm general-purpose cannon ammunition is enough to penetrate the shell of an alien creature and cause effective damage. If fired, one more round will still hit the same position to a large extent. In addition to blowing the target into pieces, it will not  It cannot effectively improve the damage efficiency to alien creatures.  "

    ¡°Adding a gun barrel can indeed increase the amount of ammunition delivered, which can also indeed increase the probability of effective kills when dealing with armored targets such as tanks and aircraft.

    After all, you can¡¯t just knock out a tank or an airplane with one shell, but firing one more shell can increase your probability of knocking out the target.

    However, when the target is changed to an alien creature that can be killed with one shell, adding a barrel and doubling the amount of ammunition delivered is just a waste of ammunition.

    A target that can be killed by one shot does not require two rounds to kill it. The two barrels are so close that two shells will basically only hit one target. One shot can ensure the kill, and two rounds will only blow up the target.  Even more fragmented, there is no such thing as two barrels that can hit two different targets.

    In fact, multi-barreled machine guns are just a way to increase the rate of fire when the rate of fire of the machine guns was not enough in the past.

    ¡°But for modern military industry, it can already achieve extremely high rates of fire, and the amount of ammunition delivered per minute can even reach thousands of rounds. At this time, multi-barreled machine guns become useless and impractical.

    This is why there are fewer and fewer gun barrels on modern warships. Except for the Gatling-style rotating barrel design, multi-barreled designs are rarely seen.

    Because with the support of modern technology, one barrel is enough to ensure a sufficient rate of fire and hit the enemy with enough shells.

    After listening to Chen Xin¡¯s explanation, Jiang Juan couldn¡¯t help but feel frustrated. Although she still felt a little unconvinced, she also understood that her idea was not that realistic.

    "But you don't have to be depressed. Although it is a bit redundant to have a twin-mounted cannon, it does not mean that it has no reference value at all." Chen Xin comforted Jiang Juan.

    But his words are not simply to comfort people, but they do have a certain reference value.

    "To fight against alien creatures, we really need to increase the amount of firepower delivered." Chen Xin saw Jiang Juan's puzzled expression, so he explained to her: "Simply increasing the rate of fire or adding an extra barrel is useless.  What's the point, because doing so will only drop a large amount of ammunition on the same target, and this is a very inefficient approach for this war.

    What we want is indeed to drop more ammunition on the enemy¡¯s head within a unit of time, but we must also avoid throwing more ammunition at the same time.Put too much ammunition on a target.

    To achieve these two goals at the same time is the key to my designing the Duke type into a three-weapon position, because in this way, the three weapons can project ammunition to three different targets at the same time, effectively improving the firepower delivery.  While increasing the quantity, it also improves the killing efficiency.  "

    "In that case, isn't my idea meaningless?" Jiang Juan also understood Chen Xin's thoughts at this time. He obviously didn't want to waste a lot of ammunition on the same target.

    "It really doesn't mean anything to Titans, but it has a different meaning to ordinary weapons." Regarding Jiang Juan's idea, Chen Xin was not comforting her, but it did have a certain reference value.

    "Ordinary weapons? Academician, do you mean individual weapons?" Although she is a Titan pilot, Jiang Juan still knows about the weapons equipped by ordinary soldiers: "They are using heavy machine guns now, right? Are you going to make that one?"  Duplex?"

    "Yes, for the 23mm machine gun, one shell is enough to kill alien creatures, but for the 12.7mm heavy machine gun, it can only penetrate the outer shell of alien creatures." Chen Xin  In fact, there have been plans to improve the lethality of individual weapons for a long time, but there has been no good idea.

    Coupled with the busy schedule of various things, he could not spare time to design new weapons.

    But now Jiang Juan's idea of ????double installation suddenly gave him new inspiration, and this is just adding existing weapons together. It does not require too many redesigned parts. It is simple and easy to operate.  A very practical idea.

    "Your idea is very meaningful. There will be a formal award for you later." Chen Xin looked at Jiang Juan and said with a smile to her.

    However, Jiang Juan bit her lip and asked Chen Xin: "Academician, can I not want the reward? I still want to replace my Titan with a twin-mounted cannon." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel  .com
