Chapter 96: Talking about money? How tacky! (Part 2)
Hercules One strode to the alloy ingot, easily picked up the alloy ingot, and threw it dozens of meters away.
"The strength is not bad!" The bearded captain laughed: "Hey, those chick soldiers in the Federation definitely don't have such strength."
Anyone who puts on Hercules One will have more than twenty tons of physical power. This is the explanation given by Bill Rocks.
The alloy ingots were transported back to the ground, and dozens of tall and short metal pillars rose from the ground. The terrain of the test site suddenly became extremely complicated. Hercules One slightly bent its waist and ran quickly around these metal pillars.
It got up, and in the blink of an eye it brought up a strong wind in the test field. The testing equipment on the side of the field continuously gave its running speed. Fifty kilometers per hour, eighty kilometers per hour, one hundred kilometers per hour.
...In the end, Hercules 1 reached an astonishing speed of two hundred kilometers per hour!
Moreover, it was extremely dexterous when running. It ran around these metal pillars in an arc, but never encountered these metal pillars. No matter how complicated the route was, it relied on the built-in computing chip to make the fastest and most appropriate route.
reaction.
The metal pillar slowly retracted to the ground, and the running Hercules 1 once again stood in the middle of the test field. A three-foot-thick homogeneous steel plate target slowly rose a hundred meters in front of it, and Hercules 1 raised it
The armor plate of the right arm changed, revealing an energy cannon muzzle as thick as a fist. After a short period of charging, a white light shot out from the muzzle, punching through the homogeneous steel plate.
"Awesome!" Gu Xiechen couldn't stop applauding, and the bearded leader and others also applauded.
Bill Rocks gave the firepower index of Hercules One. The energy contained in it can satisfy the main gun of the right arm for one hundred consecutive designs. In addition to this main gun, Hercules One can have up to hundreds of external weapons.
In this case, when carrying weapons at full load, the maximum speed of Hercules 1 will be reduced to 150 kilometers per hour, but the weapons carried are equivalent to the firepower of an enhanced platoon.
As Bill Rocks explained, three modular weapon boxes rose from the ground. Hercules 1 walked over and easily carried the three weapon boxes on its back. With a few low mechanical hums,
Two 15mm caliber multi-barreled machine guns were hung on the arms of Hercules 1, one on the left and one on the right. An 80mm mortar tube protruded from the back of its head, and two 120mm large-caliber
Anti-armor missiles stretched out from its shoulders.
Armed to the teeth, this is the only feeling Hercules One gives people! And this is only a small part of the weapon configurations it can choose.
The dull sound of gunfire rang out, and two long tongues of flame spurted out. The firing of 12,000 rounds per minute lasted for a full three minutes. The 36,000 rounds of tungsten armor-piercing bullets turned the steel plate target in front of it into a honeycomb.
With a muffled "bang" sound, the mortar fired three high-explosive grenades in succession, and the ten-by-ten-meter steel plate target exploded into pieces in the loud noise.
"Okay, that's enough!" Gu Xiechen shouted. He didn't dare to let the two large-caliber anti-armor missiles continue to fire. These are perverted things used to hit battleships, and the energy shield of the test site may not be able to block them.
it.
With the sound of "chichi", the front plastron of Hercules 1 slowly opened, and a thin and shriveled middle-aged man jumped out of it.
"Alexander?" Gu Xiechen shouted in surprise: "You can't even walk steadily!"
Alexander, the former mechanical expert of the Gu Group, laughed "hehe" a few times. He waddled forward a few steps, and finally sat down on the ground unable to move. Breathing heavily, Alexander made gestures.
He smiled dryly and said: "Boss, if you want to give me a raise, I want a handmade Rolls-Royce luxury car! I also want at least two months of paid vacation! Look at this little baby of ours, I want to put it on
This baby can kill a federal Class A mechanized battalion by one person!"
There was thunderous applause, and everyone present applauded desperately. Even people like Zhehua and Siren couldn't help but cheer. It's amazing. This Hercules No. 1 is simply a one-man war fortress! It's thin and weak.
Even if Alexander wears this armor, he has such strong combat effectiveness. What if the person using this armor is a superpower? Or a powerful innate fighter?
"It's amazing, salary increase, bonus, paid vacation, everything!" As soon as the energy shield was removed, Gu Xiechen rushed to the testing site and hugged Alexander vigorously. "You guys did a great job! But...
How much does it cost? How much does a Hercules 1 cost?"
Bill Rocks walked up to Hercules 1 and touched the arm of Hercules 1 lovingly. He smiled and said: "We have invested 27.3 billion in research funds. However, the manufacturing cost is not
Not high. After replacing several rare metals with the alloy formula you brought me, boss, the manufacturing cost of a Hercules One is only a paltry 4.9 million!"
Alexander gasped and laughed: "The previous experimental body, all dispersion engine systems and energy transmission systems needed to be made of extremely expensive high-purity rare metals, so the manufacturing cost of a Hercules One was as high as hundreds of millions. But the boss
The alloy formula you brought back allows us to use ordinary steel and other common metals to achieve properties close to or even exceed those of rare metals, so the manufacturing cost plummets! The manufacturing cost is 4.9 million, which must be added to the production process.
Energy consumption and labor costs!”
“Perfect piece!”
Gu Xiechen sincerely praised Bill Rocks, Alexander and other scientific researchers, and he exchanged a look with the bearded leader.
The bearded leader nodded and said with a smile: "I should send invitations to my old friends... Well, Lieutenant General Jieshi from the Ordnance Management Department of the Federal Military Department and I have a good relationship. We were in the mercenary group back then.
Several heavy patrol boats were given to us by him."
Twenty-four hours later, the star shone brightly in the test field on the ground of the base.
From Chairman Poison Wolf of the Federal Military Department, more than a dozen generals, dozens of lieutenant generals, and more than a hundred major generals gathered at the Copenhagen No. 1 Base of Hardward Defense Company. The bearded leader used all his connections to spread the word throughout the military department.
It was said that Hardward Company had invented some good stuff, but he refused to say clearly what it was. As a result, everyone who received the news just felt that they were confused. Out of curiosity, Poisonous Wolf was very stressed recently.
All the major military leaders came here.
The serious-faced Poison Wolf stood next to Gu Xiechen, looking eagerly at the Hercules 1, which was covered with a piece of red satin in the test site.
"Is this the kind of new thing you are talking about?" Poison Wolf looked at Gu Xiechen coldly: "I hope it will make my trip worthwhile. I have been very busy and annoyed recently. Do you know that you are resurrecting?
How much trouble have you caused me on Jieshi Island? You almost monopolized the entire Earth Federation's defense market!"
"I vomited out a big part of it!" Gu Xiechen looked at Poisonous Wolf with an aggrieved look on his face: "Everyone makes money, I still understand this truth!"
"Fortunately you spit it out, otherwise..." Poisonous Wolf sneered a few times with unknown meaning. He pointed at Hercules One and sneered: "Shall we start?"
Gu Xiechen did not give the order to start the test. He looked at Poisonous Wolf with a smile and asked in a low voice: "Before starting the test, can I ask how much the military budget is for this year?"
Poisonous Wolf was stunned for a moment, then he squinted his eyes and sneered: "A total war with the Romans, special war budget...full support from the federal finance!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Gu Xiechen waved his hand gently.
The red satin was lifted up by a strong air current, and the mighty Hercules 1 appeared in front of everyone. Without further ado, Hercules 1 demonstrated one by one the set of standard tests done twenty-four hours ago.
After a while, more than a hundred generals on the scene burst into cheers at the same time!
Gu Xiechen stood next to Poison Wolf and laughed in a low voice that only Poison Wolf could hear: "Think about it, what would happen if all federal soldiers had a set of Hercules individual armor?"
Poisonous Wolf's eyes wandered away. He looked at the Hercules 1 with its machine gun still smoking from the muzzle, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Gu Xiechen smiled and looked at Poisonous Wolf with determination.
On the battlefield of Paradise Star, the casualties of soldiers are getting heavier and heavier, but the damage to the Romans is disproportionate. If one Roman soldier could exchange for the casualties of twenty federal soldiers before, then with the Hercules One, maybe one Roman
A soldier can only kill two or three federal soldiers before being killed - this is the conversion ratio when fighting alone. If a special force equipped with Hercules 1 can be formed, maybe the Romans will be able to fight for the first time in
They were suppressed by a comparable number of Earth troops on the frontal battlefield.
Unlike those heavy tanks that are powerful and have amazing defenses, individual armors are smart and convenient. Soldiers equipped with individual armors can fight in areas that heavy tanks cannot reach. There are no terrain restrictions, but the defense is as strong as heavy tanks.
A decent individual armor is undoubtedly the first choice on the battlefield.
"Marshal, I can say with certainty that the defensive power of Hercules One exceeds the energy armor of the Romans! Because it uses the alloy formula I brought from the Paradise Star!"
Gu Xiechen said with determination, holding his hands behind his back and smiling: "The alloy formula that General Valkyrie handed over to the military has not yet formed combat effectiveness, right?"
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Poison Wolf frowned and said, "How much does a single soldier armor cost? If I purchase a large quantity, are there any discounts?"
Clapping his hands fiercely, Gu Xiechen laughed and said: "Hey, we are all decent people, talking about money, is this too vulgar?"
Touching Poison Wolf's arm affectionately with his shoulder, Gu Xiechen smiled and said, "Let's talk about feelings, let's talk about feelings!"
