Chapter 529 Firepower Testing and Weapon Engineering Department
The moment he pulled the firing trigger, he knew why the engineer specifically reminded him that no shock-absorbing equipment was installed.
The heavy impact sounded like a high-decibel drum beat, and Li Yan even felt a heavy hammer hitting the metal plate in pieces next to his ears.
Then the sound of firecrackers during the Spring Festival spread in the air. The single-barreled machine gun began to spit out flash fire snakes as long as its own barrel. Brass shells with two finger-thickness fell to the ground with tobacco.
"Damn, does this thing have such a strong recoil?"
Li Yan grinned and released the mechanically connected fire button, feeling that all the bones in his body had been shaken away by the fire.
Machinery is often better able to withstand external damage than humans. There is no need to waste time adjusting the shock-absorbing module for early verification machines that will be sent for scrap after completion of testing.
In fact, the engineers in the territory are quite humane. They at least considered installing shock-absorbing modules, unlike some manufacturers in the previous life who just produced them without considering any shock-absorbing... and that's it!
Trust the driver!
Of course, the only problem is that it's not very driver friendly, but sometimes in order to shorten work hours and increase productivity... it's a necessary sacrifice.
"Colonel Li Yan! Hey, how do you feel?"
The engineer climbed onto the mecha, used a crowbar to pry open the hatch cover that was passively locked due to the shock, and shouted loudly to the tester in the cockpit.
Now Li Yan and Fang Ai both have the honorary military rank of colonel. Of course, it is just a honorary military rank without actual military power... and military pay will be paid as usual.
"I don't feel very good... vomit..." Li Yan struggled for a moment and waited for three seconds before waking up from the shock: "Didn't you say this thing is a semi-automatic cannon? Why did it happen as soon as I pulled the trigger? It’s all out.”
"Next time we will install a speed limiter on this thing, because we forgot to install the speed limiter when we just inspected it." The engineer helped him remove the fixed temporary welding frame and found that the small parts inside were also stuck. Use a crowbar to help him remove the frame: "I thought this 20mm semi-automatic cannon would explode. It seems there is no problem with the bullet processing."
In many cases, it's not that the weapon's firing speed is insufficient, it's just that the driver who controls the weapon is not very able to grasp the recoil caused by high-rate weapons.
Proper rate of fire helps suppress fire and improve accuracy.
"If I can write a complaint, I will definitely be the first to vote for you."
Li Yan choked.
"Then Colonel Li can wait for a while. The Military Department and the Ministry of Industry have to give us a big note... Okay, the straps at the back have also been cut off... Come on, do you want me to give you a hand? "
Li Yan, who crawled out of the cabin and gave the engineers a bad review, turned around and jumped to the ground wearing the tree man's living armor.
He saw that the barrel part of the semi-automatic machine gun, which was similar to a single-barreled heavy machine gun, was slightly discolored on the mount point on the right side of the anti-joint walking mecha.
Half a bullet belt, a total of sixty rounds of 20mm copper-cased ordinary bullets, were sprayed out like water in less than twenty seconds after he pulled the trigger.
Li Yan couldn't help but click his tongue. If this thing hit him, he would be silent.
"The effect is good. The armor plate has been swept away. The firepower this thing can provide has exceeded the defense capabilities of all the units in our territory... The military department must want this thing to enhance its operational capabilities. Oh...they said that the creatures on the large sky island have become less friendly recently."
The engineer took off the telescope from himself and handed it to Li Yan, asking him to look at the target erected in the distance.
Li Yan found that his accuracy was not as bad as he thought. The internal vibration was a bit severe, but it did not greatly affect the weapon's firing accuracy. With the help of mechanical sights, he even landed most of the bullets in the target area accurately. Inside.
The originally complete additional armor plates of the aerospace ship were now scattered on the ground like torn pieces of paper, and even the wooden piles holding up the deck were broken into pieces.
If it were a group of monster infantry standing there, if it was a group of trolls or something else, the end might be worse than that iron plate.
He would probably be beaten to pieces by this half bullet chain.
"The target is 800 meters away and can effectively penetrate a homogeneous steel plate of more than 15 mm. This thing has an effective range of 1,000 meters and a maximum range of 1,500 meters."
The engineer explained to him that others could then record data on the mecha after the firing was completed. The first-hand data after the test was the most important.
"By the way, why did you come to me for testing? I remember that there are many...many heroic units in the territory?"
They can't be any worse than me, right?
Li Yan stood up, relaxed his body, turned his head and asked the engineer.
"Because you are the only one left who is willing to be a tester. The tree lords are really powerful, and their battery life is the strongest I have ever seen. Chief Chang Heng said last time that he wanted to check on the development progress of new weapons. We never saw him come again after that. Mr. Dean came often when he was still our leader, but now we can’t see him.”
The engineer answered honestly.
"Look, I'm just an engineer. Engineers are not very good at controlling such large equipment for testing."
Li Yan's eyes twitched. If the engineer in front of him hadn't fooled him, he wouldn't have come here if he hadn't said that there were countless heavy weapons available in the weapons production base in the territory.
Endless weapons and ammunition, you can shoot as many as you want.
The treeman lord raised his arm, and suddenly missed the feeling of pulling the trigger of the semi-automatic machine gun.
Which man can resist the temptation of driving a mecha and using gunpowder weapons full of industrial violence.
Anyway, his territory is full of treemen, and it can be fully automatically operated without him... I just don't know how Brother Ji Lin is doing now, is he okay?
