Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 701: Laser Assault Vehicle
In Chen Xin's exclusive laboratory, a six-wheeled car less than three meters long was parked in front of him.
The car is short and compact, with only two seats left for the driver's seat and the passenger's seat. The car is equipped with a machine that looks like an astronomical telescope. It is almost one-third as long as the car. The base occupies the rear half of the cart.
This is the new weapon Chen Xin created after being inspired by Qin Lan.
A laser weapon launch platform modified from the chassis of the Lynx assault vehicle.
Chen Xin has made two versions in total, using pulsed laser and continuous laser respectively. After small-scale trial production, they will be sent to the military for testing to determine the specific mass-produced model.
However, Chen Xin is more optimistic about the pulsed laser version, mainly because the damage effect of this kind of laser is better than that of continuous laser.
Of course, after Chen Xin's upgrade, the damage effect of these two lasers has reached the standard of practical weapons, but the operation mode is different.
This kind of six-wheeled assault vehicle equipped with two laser weapons is light and compact, and the six-wheeled chassis also has a fairly good traffic capacity, even in underground tunnels, it can also have good mobility.
The laser weapon it carries, after being adjusted and upgraded by Chen Xin, only needs to be irradiated for about 0.5 seconds to effectively kill the combat sub-unit.
Although it sounds like it only shortens the time from a few seconds to tenths of a second, it doesn't look like much, but in actual combat, it undoubtedly greatly improves the killing efficiency of laser weapons.
To give a simple example, if it takes 2-3 seconds to irradiate a combat child to cause effective damage and penetrate its chitin exoskeleton carapace, how can it be used in underground tunnel battles? Is it guaranteed that the laser can keep hitting the same spot for at least 5 seconds?
You must know that under the combat ring of the underground tunnel, the alien creatures still have a lot of mobility. In addition to advancing on the ground, they can also climb on the sides and top of the cave. Under such an environment It is not easy to point the laser at a moving target and keep it on for a few seconds.
In this case, it is best to shorten the time of laser irradiation, and it is best to be able to ignite when it is irradiated in sci-fi works, or even pierce and cut it is the best.
However, this high-power and high-damage laser weapon Chen Xin can be built through system upgrades, but it is not suitable for production.
At least in a short period of time, there is no way to achieve mass production to meet the needs of the military to eliminate alien creatures in the underground tunnels in the military's counter-offensive operations.
And 0.5 seconds of irradiation time can achieve effective damage. Such laser weapons have been able to meet the needs of the military and are also easy to produce.
Chen Xin has already asked the factory, just need to adjust the production line a little, the production of other parts is ready-made, one hundred small assault vehicles equipped with laser weapons can be equipped to the troops in one month, satisfying use of troops.
However, Chen Xin still tried to make a laser weapon with power that can instantly cut the body of the fighting child within the effective irradiation range in case of emergency.
Of course, a laser cannon whose power can instantly cut through the body of a combat child is not suitable for mounting on assault vehicles, but is more suitable as a weapon for Titans.
The greater the power, the greater the energy required. For a small assault vehicle, even if it is equipped with a nuclear battery, the energy output that can be output is limited. It is already enough to meet the consumption of an ordinary laser weapon. limit.
As for the Titan, the energy output that can be output is much higher than that of a small assault vehicle.
For this reason, Chen Xin is also preparing to equip the Titan with laser weapons.
After all, if the Titans can be equipped with higher-power laser weapons to sweep away those alien creatures directly in the tunnel, the combat efficiency will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
It's just that Chen Xin still has some concerns about the actual use effect of laser weapons. He plans to wait for the military to test the effect of two assault vehicles equipped with laser weapons in actual combat, and then consider whether to change the Titan according to the effect. laser weapon.
Laser weapons and live ammunition weapons are two completely different weapons, and the way they are used is more similar to holding a flashlight to irradiate the target, rather than shooting a bullet-like light group as in many movies.
So the use must be different from the existing weapons. How to use this new type of weapon still needs the military to actually test and study it.
But this is not what Chen Xin is responsible for.
——————————————————
Two assault vehicles equipped with laser weapons were quickly sent to the front lines and placed in the hands of the military.
The military was really surprised that Chen Xin really provided new weapons so quickly. Although they made a request to Chen Xin, they were just trying to give it a try, and didn't really pin their hopes on it. on the new weapon.
After all, they also know that this request is very impersonal and somewhat whimsical.
The research and development of a new weapon, from design and finalization, to trial production, to actual combat testing, and finally to mass production, usually takes several years to be possible.
It may take ten or eight years for the military to change a rifle, and it will take three months to come up with a new weapon that can be put into actual combat, even if it is just an engineer shovel.
This is because Chen Xin has created too many miracles before, so that the military has such an idea.
But even so, the military is still prepared to have no new weapons~IndoMTL.com~ They themselves feel that even if Chen Xin can come up with new weapons that meet the requirements in three months, he may not be able to enter Mass production, to catch up with the subsequent counter-offensive and suppression operations.
But now that Chen Xin has done it, the military is undoubtedly greatly shocked.
However, the way soldiers think about problems is different from that of ordinary people. For them, they have no new weapons and are they prepared for new weapons. With new weapons, they will naturally make adjustments around new weapons.
The two prototype vehicles were quickly tested, and the military quickly figured out the effects of different types of laser weapons on the two vehicles.
The military is undoubtedly satisfied with the damage effect of the laser weapons on the two prototype vehicles. Although this seems to be similar to the damage caused by large-caliber bullets or small-caliber machine gun shells, it is clear that the two There is still a fundamental difference.
The laser weapon has solved the problem of ricocheting that the military has been troubled by, and the problem that the explosion of artillery may cause the tunnel to collapse, and meets the military's requirements for underground tunnel operations.
Then the military immediately organized a group of front-line commanders and fighters with rich combat experience to start researching tactics and methods of use. On the one hand, they also returned the test results to Chen Xin and put forward some suggestions for improvement.
