Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 419: New equipment design
After readjusting his state, Chen Xin no longer bothered about genetic modification, and instead focused his energy on a few more important things at hand.
However, most of the projects need to wait for the completion of the construction of the scientific research base before they can be launched. The only thing that can be done is the research of military weapons.
The research and development of Titans and large vehicles is limited by the site. Chen Xin did not proceed immediately. Instead, he intends to wait until the scientific research base is built and the conditions are met before proceeding with the research and development work. Now he only intends to use the research base before the establishment of the research base. At this time, make a few weapons that match the exoskeleton and power armor.

If it is just an exoskeleton, it is also possible to use ordinary weapons. Although the assistance brought by the exoskeleton is not very strong, at least it allows soldiers to use heavier and stronger firearms and weapons to play on the battlefield. Get more firepower.
And the power armor is different. If nothing else, the trigger of ordinary firearms is designed with the thickness of ordinary people's fingers. You can wear a tactical glove or something, but if you wear a thick antifreeze Gloves, fingers almost as thick as carrots, I'm afraid they can't fit into the trigger ring.
So weapons equipped for power armor should at least be enlarged in the size of the trigger.
More importantly, soldiers equipped with power armor are much stronger in both strength and weight.
Using ordinary firearms in such a situation, they can even shoot an automatic rifle with one hand and keep the ballistic stability without holding and pressing the gun, so naturally they can also be equipped with a 12.7mm revolver Machine guns are heavy weapons that can only be used with vehicles.
However, the 12.7mm caliber is still too powerful. Except for the main battle tank, it is difficult for ordinary vehicles, even armored vehicles, to withstand the 12.7mm caliber armor-piercing incendiary bombs.
Chen Xinku remembered that the weapons research department of the Yan Kingdom used a car to test it when it designed the 12.7mm rotary machine gun.
Therefore, it is inevitable to design a firearm with moderate power that is more suitable for soldiers equipped with power armor as a common weapon.
After all, you can't always carry out a mission with a heavy machine gun that can tear ordinary people into two sections, right? That's too much firepower.
"If you want to design a weapon for power armor, what do you think it should be designed as Second Lieutenant Deng?" Chen Xin asked Second Lieutenant Deng with a recording board. At this time, Second Lieutenant Deng was testing the power created by Chen Xinxin. armor.
This set of power armor was made by Chen Xinxin. It uses the prototype design that Chen Xin had completed when he and Qin Lan were making the power armor.
And Chen Xin has improved its power system, using the same small isotope thermoelectric battery as the exoskeleton power source, but the output power has been amplified a bit, and some adjustments have been made in terms of flexibility.
The whole set of power armor looks a bit like medieval knight plate armor, which is rather rounded because of the lack of edges and corners.
In terms of design structure, this power armor is actually the design of the exoskeleton packaging deck. As a whole, a set of exoskeletons are designed first, and then the armor pieces are installed on the skeleton of the exoskeleton.
Unlike the two sets of Chen Xin and Qin Lan, the internal structures of the two sets are more complex power armor skeletons, not just exoskeleton armor.
The reason why Chen Xin designed this way is not that he is reluctant to give good things to the military, but that he needs to consider the manufacturing cost and whether the manufacturing process can support the complex design structure.
Anyone who knows World War II knows that Hans military industry is known for its sophisticated design and high quality, especially tanks. Tiger, Leopard and King Tiger tanks are invincible on the battlefield, but the corresponding It is a complex structure and a large number of parts, which is not only troublesome to repair, but also very time-consuming to build.
Corresponding to it is the T34 tank of Suvia. It has a simple structure and is solidly built. It is easier to repair if it is damaged. Even with Maozi's extensive maintenance style, it can withstand the toss. It is also simpler, even during the battle of Stalingrad, there is a story of a T34 made by a tractor factory that drove into the battlefield without even painting.
Comparing the two, it can be known that simple, reliable and easy maintenance are very important for a country's logistics and armaments.
Chen Xin can of course create technologically advanced, fully functional, powerful power armor, but that kind of thing is closer to a rich toy like the Iron Man suit than a military piece of equipment that can be deployed on a large scale .
In addition, the country is now mass-producing exoskeletons. Using a production line and using a large number of parts of the same specification can also reduce the investment in manufacturing and facilitate faster production.
Second Lieutenant Tang has no idea about this~IndoMTL.com~ The power armor on his body has made him quite satisfied.
Although it is an action-feedback power armor, he doesn't feel any unresponsiveness. Basically, when his body moves, the power armor already responds, and the efficiency is very good.
As for Chen Xin's question about weapons, Lieutenant Deng thought for a while and said, "I think it is necessary to have a stable and reliable automatic rifle, although many weapons in games or sci-fi works I see are quite tall and high-quality. , what electromagnetic, Gaussian, laser, etc., but it is still simple and reliable, and it is good to be able to continuously and stably output firepower.”
Chen Xin nodded, not surprised by this, a good gun is not finished with high accuracy and fast rate of fire, but more important is reliability and stability, otherwise the AK47 will not be the world's production The tallest firearm, even from WWII to the present.
"I understand, I will pay attention to this." Chen Xin recorded Lieutenant Deng's opinion, and then asked him, "Do you think there is any room for improvement in this power armor?"
"It's good in all aspects, but our special forces will carry a lot of things when they perform missions. How can this power armor be loaded? Is it a plug-in carrying device?" Second Lieutenant Deng asked a very critical question problem.
In various film and television works and video games, it is usually not considered how the characters carry materials. The former is for aesthetics and visual effects, while the latter has a versatile backpack space, and even the action of digging things is not required.
But it's definitely not possible in reality. Even Chen Xin himself built a silo behind his power armor. This kind of power armor for the military must have a place to put things, otherwise There's simply no place for ammo and other stuff.
