Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

In Chen Xin's exclusive laboratory, a six-wheeled cart less than three meters long was parked in front of him.

The body of the car is short and compact, leaving only two seats for the driver's seat and the co-pilot's seat. The car is equipped with a round machine that looks like an astronomical telescope, which is almost one-third the length of the car. Occupies the rear half of the car.

This is the new weapon that Chen Xin created after being inspired by Qin Lan.

A laser weapon launching platform transformed from the chassis of the Lynx assault vehicle.

Chen Xin made two versions in total, using pulsed laser and continuous laser respectively. After small-scale trial production, it 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 effects of these two lasers have reached the standard of practical weapons, but the mode of operation is different.

This six-wheeled assault vehicle equipped with two kinds of laser weapons is light and compact, and the six-wheeled chassis also has quite good traffic capacity, even in underground tunnels, it can also have good mobility.

And the laser weapon it carries, after being adjusted and upgraded by Chen Xin, only needs to irradiate for about 0.5 seconds to effectively kill the combat daughter.

Although it sounds like it only shortened the time from a few seconds to a few tenths of a second, which doesn't seem like much, but in actual combat, it undoubtedly greatly improved the killing efficiency of laser weapons.

To give a simple example, if it takes 2-3 seconds of irradiation to cause effective damage to a combat daughter and penetrate its chitinous exoskeleton carapace, how can the laser be guaranteed to be able to fight in underground tunnels? Constantly illuminate the same location for at least 5 seconds?

You must know that under the combat ring of underground tunnels, alien creatures still have a lot of maneuverability. In addition to advancing on the ground, they can also climb on the sides and top of the cave. It is not an easy task to point the laser at a moving target and maintain the irradiation time for a few seconds.

In this case, it is best to shorten the time of laser irradiation, and it is best to achieve the kind of sci-fi works that can be ignited when irradiated, or even penetrated and cut.

However, although Chen Xin, a high-power and high-damage laser weapon, can be manufactured through system upgrades, 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 aliens in underground tunnels during counter-offensive operations.

However, the irradiation time of 0.5 seconds can achieve effective damage. Such a laser weapon can already meet the needs of the military and is also convenient for production.

Chen Xin has already asked the factory. It only needs to adjust the production line slightly. The production of other parts is ready-made. In one month, one hundred small assault vehicles equipped with laser weapons can be equipped to the troops to meet the needs of the troops. need.

However, Chen Xin still tried to make a laser weapon with a power that could instantly cut the body of the combat daughter within the effective irradiation range, just in case it was needed.

Of course, this laser cannon, which can instantly cut through the body of a combat daughter, is not suitable for an assault vehicle, but more suitable for a Titan weapon.

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 the limit to meet the consumption of an ordinary laser weapon.

As for the Titan, the energy output that can be output is much higher than that of a small assault vehicle.

Out of this consideration, Chen Xin also planned to equip the Titan with laser weapons.

After all, if Titan can be equipped with more powerful laser weapons, and directly sweep away those alien creatures 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 put two assault vehicles equipped with laser weapons into actual combat to test the effect, and then consider whether to replace Titan with laser weapons according to the effect.

Laser weapons and live ammunition weapons are two completely different weapons, and the way of use is more like holding a flashlight to illuminate the target, rather than shooting a bullet-like light cluster like many movies.

Therefore, the use must be different from existing weapons. How to use this new type of weapon requires actual testing and research by the military.

But these are not what Chen Xin needs to be responsible for.

—————————————————

Two assault vehicles equipped with laser weapons were quickly sent to the front line and handed over to the military.

The military was really surprised that Chen Xin provided the new weapon so quickly. Although they made a request to Chen Xin, they only had the mentality of trying it out, and did not really pin their hopes on the new weapon. .

After all, they also know that this request is very unreasonable and a bit whimsical.

The research and development of a new type of 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 replace a rifle. It takes three months to come up with a new weapon that can be put into actual combat. Even if it is just an engineering shovel, it is impossible.

This is because Chen Xin created too many miracles before, which made the military have such an idea.

But even so, the military is still prepared to have no new weapons. They all feel that even if Chen Xin can come up with new weapons that meet the requirements in three months, it may not be able to enter mass production. Counter-offensive and suppression operations.

But now that Chen Xin did it, the military was undoubtedly greatly shocked.

However, the way soldiers think about problems is different from that of ordinary people. For them, there are no new weapons and no preparations for new weapons. With new weapons, it is natural to 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 it seems that the damage caused by large-caliber bullets or small-caliber cannon shells is not much different, it is clear that the two still have the same essence. difference.

Laser weapons have solved the problem of ricochets that the military has been worrying about, and the problem that the explosion of shells may cause tunnels to collapse, meeting the military's requirements for underground tunnel operations.

So the military immediately organized a group of front-line commanders and fighters with rich combat experience to study tactics and usage methods. On the one hand, they also returned the test results to Chen Xin and put forward some suggestions for improvement.
