Chapter 526 Manned Machinery and Automatic Machine Guns

The biggest difference from the traditional steam robot is that the middle part of this special steam robot is completely removed, leaving a space enough to accommodate an adult, and the positive joint walking feet are replaced with anti-joint walking feet that are more suitable for standing and shooting to offset the recoil. .

This is a heavy-duty support exoskeleton mecha designed specifically for manned long-range fire based on the steam mecha.

Five-meter mecha.

The joint joints that should be covered with armor have all had their armor removed, leaving the dark gray steam hydraulic rods exposed on the outside, making it easier for engineers to observe and measure.

The figure wearing green vine armor grinned and jumped out of the steamer's manned cabin, turning his body, which was numb due to excessive energy consumption.

"Thank you very much for helping us test the new walking machine. None of our other testers were able to complete the entire testing process."

The engineer responsible for researching manned walking machinery handed Li Yan a glass of sugar cane juice and asked him to take a rest and prepare for the next round of testing.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I can help you."

Li Yan waved and grinned, his eyes falling on the steamer soldier who had a pilot slot dug out.

I thought to myself that this test was really not done by humans.

For him to rely solely on the energy in his body to drive the entire steam mech without assistance is equivalent to him taking on the energy distribution and mobilization control functions of the rune core alone.

The researcher will use his operation as a template to record the mechanical mechanism and write it into the rune core to complete the input of the posture during manned action.

If the rune core is taken out and adjusted separately for each process, the time waste caused by debugging will be extended, and the best way is to directly put someone in to record the operation posture.

For example, manual binding of bones and adjustment actions when creating 3D content modeling is extremely tedious, and requires a lot of time to fine-tune the characters.

However, motion capture can be used to greatly shorten the production time of 3D content. If you make some fine-tuning later, the time cost of the entire process will be reduced immediately.

Now Li Yan has assumed the position of this motion capture personnel and assisted the territory in completing the test of the new manned steam robot.

On the contrary, it has increased the research and development speed of the territory to a certain extent, and the system has turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.

Li Yan drank the sugarcane juice in one gulp, and the sugarcane juice maintained at a low temperature suddenly entered his stomach, making people feel relaxed and happy.

"Cool!"

Driving this kind of exoskeleton mecha was quite tiring, but it did satisfy his inner desire to control the mecha.

It's just that the industrial-style mechas produced in the territory don't look as beautiful as the mechas from the Island Alliance. The large number of exposed mechanical joints have a rough beauty.

"What's over there?"

When Li Yan was watching the engineers overhauling the experimental machine, he found some long boxes with 20mm packaging written on them piled in the corner.

"Over there is the newly delivered 20mm semi-automatic cannon, which uses a belt to feed ammunition. It was originally planned to be installed on steam spiders and steam robots... Ah, their intelligence does not seem to be able to support the use of long-range weapons."

After all, aiming and shooting are a bit too difficult for these guys. Installing projectile explosive weapons to suppress them can barely suppress fire under command.

But letting them use high-speed direct-fire weapons is simply torturing this group of structures. The ballistic deflection caused by the recoil alone is enough to give them a drink.

Due to design problems, the body of the steam robot is not even good at withstanding the recoil of weapon fire, but the steam spider's six legs are not bad when it is stuck into the ground.

Construct: 'Intellectually Unacceptable'

So now those semi-automatic cannons are just sitting there, gathering dust, and the plan to install them on the structure is on hold for the time being.

The head engineer said to himself: "It seems that the automation of large-caliber weapons is much faster than that of small-caliber weapons. Maybe it is because the mechanical components are stronger?"

More durable?

"Weapon testing will not begin until the unit joints are adjusted. If you are interested, we can test the weapons now?"

Li Yan nodded and looked at the automatic cannons piled in the corner, feeling a little itchy.

The first time he touched a gun was the powder rifle given to him by Ji Lin, and he had never touched something as big as an automatic machine gun in his life.

"Team leader, the debugging of Unit 3 has been completed and you can enter the next testing stage..."

————

Outdoor equipment testing ground.

"The left side is a temporarily installed mechanical locking device. It can only adjust the cannon up and down. We have also tried the one that can be adjusted up, down, left and right. It almost didn't shake the frame... The left and right rotation depends on the weight of the body itself. "

The engineer looked at the cabin and felt that something was missing. He climbed down and installed a fixed mechanical sight in Li Yan's cockpit.

"Just fire at the crosshair of this thing. It should be about the same... Anyway, the stability of the 20mm cannon is very poor. A distance of one thousand meters will be evenly distributed within a radius of ten meters. I hope it will perform better when installed on the exoskeleton mecha. A little?"

The engineer patted Li Yan on the shoulder, then pulled the mechanical strap hard to lock him in his seat, coughing slightly.

"I have to reiterate, we are not doing shock absorbing mechanisms."

Li Yan pointed to the rattan armor on his body and told them that the rattan armor would extend in the cockpit, forming a unique shock-absorbing buffer layer to reduce the recoil generated when the mechanical unit moves.

"That's fine. I hope you can feel the recoil of this thing." The engineer muttered, "I also hope this damn thing won't fall apart before a chain of bullets is fired."

The vine armor that belonged to the tree people on his body grew to form a defensive buffer layer, with silk threads and vines overlapping.

The mechanical sight fell, and Li Yan saw a scrap iron plate temporarily hoisted to the frame by the airship as a target in the distance.

Then, pull the trigger.
