Chapter 1551 New Weapon
1551. New Weapon
"How is the development of the next generation of armored units?" Tang Yu continued to ask.
"The chassis is still being finalized, but the facelift module has already been built," said Remi.
"Is there any problem with the chassis?" Tang Yu asked.
"One of the most fatal weaknesses of the Ceratosaurus tank is that the firepower of this tank is too weak. Although we have learned and communicated with the 01 country, the technology of the electromagnetic levitation engine has improved to a higher level, but it is also a 50-ton load. The weight, the cost of a unit standing on the ground and a unit floating in the air is completely different,” said Remi.
Tang Yu nodded. In fact, with the spread of the entire empire, many equipment designs are no longer handled by himself. For example, the next-generation tank of the Ceratosaurus tank, he said: "So the chassis of the next-generation tank is prepared to be tracked? Or wheeled? Or walk?"
"There are three designs. The wheeled chassis is faster, easier to maintain, and the cost is the lowest. But the load capacity is not enough. Moreover, although the design is a solid tire, the impact resistance is still a document number. The crawler type has a heavy load and is strong enough, but it is difficult to repair on the battlefield once damaged, and the speed is not ideal. The speed of the walking type is too slow, and if it is designed to form a crawler mode, the cost is too high. It doesn't meet our needs," Remy said.
Tang Yu touched his chin and said, "Then let the scientific research team solve this problem by themselves, and I won't interfere. I didn't participate in the two wars in the world of "Alien vs. Predator" and the world of "Dragon Age". More, let them design according to the needs of the battlefield."
"Then let's look at the armament designed for the new generation of tanks." Remy said.
Tang Yu drove directly to the laboratory on the other side, which was ready for the experiment. A special truck loaded with several weapon modules made for the new generation of tanks was being tested on the test site.
"Although there are still many differences in the design of the new generation of tanks, the basic concept is the same, that is, to achieve multiple functions through modularization, and to maximize the use of the capacity of the industrial assembly line. Therefore, on this basis, we give priority to the weapon The modules are made," said Remi.
Tang Yu saw that one of the modules was in the shape of a diamond, which looked like a carriage, and more than a dozen soldiers were opening the hatch and entering and exiting, and they kept feedback on the comfort of the seats inside and whether there was any obstruction in entering and exiting. Then, they sat in and tested the situation when it was bumped, shaken and even attacked.
"This is the troop transport module, right?" Tang Yu said.
"right,
A maximum of 20 soldiers can be transported, as well as the weapons and ammunition carried by these soldiers. If these soldiers are equipped with a mechanized exoskeleton, the number will be reduced to 10. This module is also equipped with a high-level and dual-purpose dual-mounted six-tube electromagnetic machine gun, which can provide a certain amount of support firepower. Depending on the situation, the machine gun can also be replaced with a shield generator. ’ replied Remy.
Tang Yu looked in another direction. The truck in this direction was equipped with a heavy artillery turret. The gun barrel is square, and there are sections of energy light shining inside. Then, the heavy artillery fired! A dazzling flash of lightning was shot from the muzzle, followed by a shot of electric fire, hitting the m1a1 tank as the target vehicle 500 meters away almost at the same time as the gun was fired!
"This is our latest electromagnetic gun with a caliber of 150 mm and a barrel of 75 times. The range is 6000 meters. That is to say, the shell can hit all targets within the range within 1.5 seconds. By the way, the m1a1 tank target vehicle we use is filled with steel, that is to say, it is solid. said Remy.
The trailer quickly pulled the target vehicle over. Tang Yu saw that the front of the m1a1 tank filled with steel had been opened, and a large hole with a diameter of more than 1 meter appeared on the front of the tank. Moreover, the tank had been destroyed. It's a match! ! The external reactive armor and ceramic composite armor couldn't stop the bombardment of this cannon at all, it was penetrated like a piece of paper, revealing the solid steel inside the tank that was burnt red by intense friction.
"Contact Fulan and send a captured Apocalypse tank over, and use this electromagnetic gun to experiment on the Apocalypse tank to see if it can penetrate the frontal armor of the Apocalypse tank." Tang Yu ordered.
"OK."
Next, Tang Yu also saw experiments on the air-to-air module, maintenance module, battlefield support module, bridging module, etc. that were being tested, but he felt that something was missing. So he turned his head and asked, "Why are there no weapons for long-range fire support?"
"Because of the new generation of long-range fire support weapons, our main reform is on the shells. According to the speculation of the scientific research team, the Xuanwu self-propelled artillery is still a very efficient artillery, and its potential has not been fully developed. Therefore, before we decide Before the gunpowder cannon is fully replaced with plasma cannonballs, the Xuanwu self-propelled cannon can continue to be used." Remy said.
"A new type of shell?"
"Yes, three types of artillery shells. One is the shell used to kill soldiers behind the bunker, which belongs to a type of white phosphorus shell. After the shell is launched into the sky above the target, it will lock on a maximum of 80 infrared targets below in a short time, and then fire sub-munitions , The hit rate exceeds 70%. The sub-munition is a white phosphorus incendiary bomb. Basically, once it hits one shot, that person is dead. In the previous experiment, five basalt self-propelled artillery fired 10 such white phosphorus sub-munitions in one salvo. All human targets in the 500-meter-long bunker can be cleared. In addition, I think, in the war we are facing, there should be no United Nations to condemn us for using white phosphorus bombs, right?" Remy said with a blank expression.
"The second type is high-explosive projectiles. This kind of projectile uses terminal guidance technology, and can adjust its landing point during the descent stage, so as to hit higher-value targets. In addition, the charge uses the latest cl-20 explosives, a A high-explosive shell with a caliber of 155 mm has a killing radius of 150 meters to 200 meters, which is five times that of ordinary high-explosive shells. To use an inappropriate analogy, such a shell can kill a target like the World Trade Center in one shot. Its plow is level ground."
"The last one you should be very interested in is a tactical nuclear bomb." Remy said.
"Nuclear shells?" Tang Yu seemed a little uninterested, "What our legion is most in short of now is not the ability to damage, right?"
"Actually, this kind of projectile has a small yield. It mainly uses controllable nuclear fusion to generate electromagnetic pulses. Therefore, it is actually the first generation of electromagnetic pulse bombs! The range of electromagnetic pulse radiation produced by each projectile can reach 400 To 600 meters! That is to say, within this range, if the enemy's electronic equipment is not protected, it will be completely burned." Remy said.
"If this is the case, it would be very interesting!" Tang Yu's eyes lit up immediately, "In the war with Izumo, this kind of bomb will definitely play a key role!!"
"It's better to be cautious." Remy said: "It is impossible for Izumo's level of technology not to consider the attack of electromagnetic pulse weapons."
