Chapter 316: Not enough penetration? Then use the equivalent amount!
"Oh my god! These bandits run so fast!"
After pulling out the bayonet from the corpse of the predator, the debtor standing on the trench glanced down the slope in front of him.
I saw dozens of corpses lying crookedly on the mountainside below the high ground, as well as rifles and shovels dropped by the fleeing looters.
This is the highland on the north side of Songlin Valley, and it is also the position of the Xiongya Thousand Soldiers.
Just ten minutes ago, the Death Corps, as usual, fired a round of mortars at the looters hiding here digging holes.
After being harassed by New Alliance mortars all day long, the looters hiding on the high ground were already used to it. They calmly lay down in the half-dug trench and waited until the sound of gunfire stopped before continuing to dig.
However, what they didn't expect was that when they raised their heads this time, they were faced with bright bayonets.
The looters who were digging fortifications never dreamed that the new alliance's few people would actually dare to attack their positions!
What they didn't expect was that as soon as the mortars on the opposite side stopped, these people came up to kill them.
Anyway, by the time they came to their senses, it was already too late.
The whistles of the charge and the shouts of killing almost rushed into their faces while stepping on the still smoking bomb craters.
At this time, many of the looters were even holding shovels in their hands, and the rifles thrown on the ground were not even loaded.
The boy at the construction site and Brick jumped into the trench first, firing with automatic rifles in their hands, instantly setting off a bloody storm in the narrow tunnel.
The raiders sent to dig holes were themselves the third-line fighting force of the tribe.
Although they followed Xiongya from the northern part of the river valley province to the south, they usually chased and fought others.
Where have I ever seen such a fierce fighting style!
Especially when they saw that the centurion, who was an awakened person, was stabbed to pieces with several bayonets on the spot. The morale of the remaining two hundred people collapsed instantly, and they couldn't muster the courage to resist at all. One or two of them only hated their parents.
He gave birth to two legs and fled towards the forest at the foot of the mountain in a panic.
In less than ten minutes, the battle was over.
Kakarot raised his binoculars and glanced to the north. The looters' defeated troops had already fled into the woods to the north of the highland.
"...Reinforcements are expected to arrive soon. Judging from the information from the Air Force, Xiong Ya and the others seem to be stationed in a mountain col about five kilometers to the north."
Liability Big Eyes said with a smile.
"Are there still a thousand of them now?"
"I don't know, the organization of these marauders is weird. A team of ten may have twenty people, and a team of thousands may not necessarily have exactly one thousand people."
The boy and Brick at the construction site looked at the edge of the water paddling aside.
"Captain, what do you say?"
Edge Paddling said with a smile.
"What else do you need to say? Bury explosives!"
"Didn't the brothers of the Burning Legion say that they would destroy the dens of these beasts? We must not let down the high expectations of our friendly forces."
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something again, and then added another sentence.
"By the way, take back the rifles, shovels, earthmoving carts, and sacks containing soil that they left behind, and we'll confiscate them!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed an evil smile.
"okay!"
After burying the T and T in the predator's trench, Brother Bian quickly led his men back to the southern hilltop before the enemy reinforcements arrived, and without saying a word, he got into the anti-gun cave.
After waiting for a full hour, the artillery from the opposite side arrived belatedly and fired several rounds of 100mm artillery towards their position.
When the shells landed on the players' positions, except for a few rotation players who were still online, the other players were already lying down and offline.
Even dinner was finished in reality.
The raiders who had abandoned their positions and fled, encouraged by the sound of cannons and threatened by the bear's teeth, returned to the high ground.
However, what surprised them was that the New Alliance men not only picked up the weapons and ammunition they left behind, but also dragged away shovels, carts, and even bags for carrying soil.
The entire position was stripped bare, and even the corpses were dragged together, poured with fuel, and burned. They didn't even have a hair left.
Who is the predator?!
Due to the lack of tools, they could only wait for supplies to be delivered from behind, while biting the bullet and collecting materials locally, or simply digging with their hands.
And when the predators returned to the trenches, with a series of explosions, their nightmare really began...
…
North of Shuguang City.
Inside the weapons testing site.
A scrapped Conqueror 10 tank was parked in the middle of the open space.
The twisted steel had been deformed, with only three pairs of road wheels remaining, a big hole was opened in the chassis, and the entire car body was completely black.
Previously, when the Black Snake Thousand-Man Team drove this tank to fight the autumn wind in the northern suburbs, the ammunition rack and fuel tank were blown up on the spot by a "reptile" four-legged robot carrying a bomb.
The tank was then dragged into an industrial area and repeatedly dismantled and studied. After the last bit of value was squeezed out, it was thrown into a weapons testing site as a target.
At this moment, Chu Guang was standing at the edge of the shooting range with Vanus, reviewing the latest anti-armor weapons developed by Goblin Technology.
According to the battle reports sent from the front line, the Marauders have begun to learn smart and are thinking about converting light trucks into anti-aircraft cards.
Although the Goblin Corps' air force, with the cooperation of the Burning Corps, had taken down the Marauder's factory, Chu Guang didn't think they would put all their eggs in one basket.
Those predators will definitely be more careful in the future.
Or even simply move the factory from the surface to the ground.
The predators have obviously realized that without reliable anti-aircraft weapons, their tanks can only be used as live targets on the front line.
Without the protection of armored units, they would have to pay multiple casualties to take Qingshi County back from the hands of the New Alliance.
Before the Ya clan's tanks go to the front line, the new alliance needs more and more effective anti-armor means to cope with the ever-changing battlefield.
"Equipment No. 1 begins testing."
"receive!"
Upon hearing the manager's order, Mosquito waved his hand, and the player with the ID name Killing God immediately trotted to the edge of the shooting range.
Squatting half-crouching behind the shooting shelter made of sandbags, the God of Death skillfully took out the recoilless gun barrel placed in the box, unfolded the folding bracket and completed the installation.
Load, aim, open the safety...
The whole set of movements was done smoothly and in one go.
With a loud bang, thick smoke and armor-piercing shells rushed out of the launch tube, dragging a column of smoke towards the tank a hundred meters away.
The moment the missile hit, the left armor of the tank exploded into a cloud of sparks and thick smoke.
"The hit works!"
When Zhuihun who was waiting aside saw this, he yelled first, then immediately ran forward to check, and then screamed excitedly.
"It's worn! It's penetrated!"
The other professional life players standing aside and watching couldn't help shouting excitedly.
“Awesome!!”
"666!"
"This is too much punishment!"
Many of these players are newcomers who came in during the Beta version, and were recruited into Goblin Technology by Brother Mosquito because of their "skills."
I have been listening to mosquitoes brag on forums before, but now I finally see it with my own eyes.
Of course, there are also big players who disagree.
"There's nothing to brag about when you blow up a piece of trash."
"This tank looks like it's at the level of a T72."
"It's an exaggeration. It's at the peak level of World War II at most. We haven't even seen reactive armor. RPG can penetrate it in minutes."
"What nonsense? The Tiger has this kind of defense? It's obviously composite armor, right?"
Two young players quarreled over the performance of the tank.
But this is just a small episode.
Chu Guang, who was standing aside, looked at the wreckage of the Conqueror-10 not far away with a satisfied smile on his face.
It's just that due to his majestic personality, he doesn't smile very clearly when there are many people.
There was only one person in the entire shooting range with a heavy expression.
That is Vanus.
As a former legion commander, he knows better than anyone else the true strength of the Conqueror 10 tank.
I saw him shaking his head and pouring a basin of cold water on it.
"it's useless."
"This is already the twelfth experiment."
"Even if you wear it, it doesn't mean anything."
Although he couldn't understand what those people were shouting, he didn't need to understand the cheerful expressions. He could guess with his toes what those people were happy about.
A tank that has been scrapped.
It took twelve rounds before it was worn, and it was still wearing side armor.
As long as the infantry and vehicle-mounted machine guns around the tank are not just decorations, they will not have so many opportunities to fire on the battlefield.
Mosquitoes are obviously aware of this problem too.
After the excitement wore off, he scratched his head in confusion.
"It's unscientific..."
"This armor is too resistant to beating!"
Comparing to T72?
T72 is not that hard.
Before the improved model came out, the side armor was only 80mm.
What's more, they use armor-piercing projectiles with hollow charges.
There is no N cover hanging on the side, explosion reflector, grille, let alone Lao Maozi's T72, even M1, Leopard 2 has to be cowardly. Especially the ammunition rack of Leopard 2 is placed in the body, if the left front is penetrated
He has eyes the size of pencils, and if he is unlucky, his head will blow out.
In order to improve the armor-piercing capability, Mosquito even sacrificed the effective range and increased the weight of the III warhead warhead by a full 1.5 times while maintaining the same propellant.
The current model is named by him as a tandem armor-piercing projectile. Although the range is quite impressive, only 150m, the maximum penetration depth in the vertical plane has reached an astonishing 400mm!
The side armor of this Conqueror 10 tank is not that thick at all, and there is no reactive armor on the outside.
Mosquito thought about it and could only think of two possibilities.
There is definitely a BUG!
It’s definitely not your problem anyway!
Listening to the mosquito's muttering, Chu Guang relayed his confusion to Vanus who was standing next to him.
After listening to the mosquito's confusion, the latter gave a very concise answer.
"...The main tank of the legion is the Conqueror 5 light tank. To deal with ordinary mutant creatures or survivor settlements, the armor is generally not very thick. The Conqueror 10 heavy tank was originally designed to be based on the Great Rift Valley, Enterprise
Such forces with certain industrial capabilities are imaginary enemies."
"Composite armor, positive pressure three-defense system, low dependence on electronic devices, and durable combat performance...these are the focus of the design."
"Especially the armor. The body armor of the Conqueror 10 has a sandwich of special ceramics and fibers between two layers of homogeneous steel. The surface of the sandwich is also protected by a lightweight, high-temperature-resistant porous material. Generally, armor-piercing bullets
After the metal jet penetrates the first layer of homogeneous steel, it will spread along the interlayer surface in the second layer, causing the jet to quickly lose focus."
"It is meaningless to simply discuss the thickness of armor. The metal jet of armor-piercing bullets cannot break through the second layer at all. If it is an original and undamaged Conqueror 10, it may not be effective even if you fire ten rounds with armor-piercing bullets. It is better to use hard-core armor-piercing directly.
, maybe even easier to wear.”
As we all know, once the metal jet loses focus, it is like a water gun with a showerhead connected to its muzzle, and its armor-piercing ability returns to zero.
Using sufficient numbers and a relatively cheap cost to defeat the opponent is the Legion's consistent strategic thinking. The purpose of the existence of the Conqueror 10 tank is not to surpass the Rift Valley armor in performance, but to increase the opponent's destruction cost.
If any infantryman carrying a recoilless rifle and firing a black gun can destroy a tank, the flood of armor will be meaningless.
The reason why it was able to penetrate on the twelfth shot was largely because this tank had been placed here as a target countless times.
Maybe the metal jet of the armor-piercing projectile has filled the "diversion gap" on the surface of the interlayer!
Chu Guang was not discouraged by Vanus's answer, he just smiled lightly.
"It's okay. We can't deal with Conqueror 10. It's okay to bully light and medium-sized vehicles. What's more, the armor-piercing projectile is blocked. We have other methods."
Vanus asked curiously.
"Oh? For example?"
Chu Guang looked at Mosquito.
"Let's start testing equipment No. 2."
Seeing the manager talking to him, Mosquito nodded quickly.
"okay!"
It is reasonable for the customer to be dissatisfied with the power of Equipment No. 1, and he himself is not very satisfied with the power of that thing.
But it doesn't matter.
He designed two countermeasures for Conqueror 10, using tandem armor-piercing shells with greater penetration was only one of them.
If you can't wear it, blow it up!
The tank wreckage at the shooting range could no longer withstand the second tossing, so Mosquito took Chu Guang and Vanus to the testing site of the No. 2 weapon.
A reinforced concrete fortification was built on the bare land. The entire fortification imitated the shape of a tank, simulating the structure of the vehicle body and road wheels.
Vanus said nothing after seeing this thing.
However, when his eyes fell on the aluminum alloy bracket behind the shooting bunker and the six-rotor drone on the bracket, he was stunned for a moment.
"This is……"
Before Chu Guang could say anything, Mosquito standing aside was already introducing him with excitement.
"This is the No. 2 equipment created by our Goblin Technology for conquering tanks - the 'Switchblade' suicide drone! Of course, I would rather call it a 'flying anti-everything IED'!"
Vanus looked confused.
Even after watching the simultaneous interpretation on the VM, he didn't understand what this guy was saying.
But the mosquito itself wasn't meant for him.
There is only one person who really has the right to make decisions and place orders to purchase arms, and that is the manager standing next to him.
He just needs to lick this one and feel comfortable, that's enough!
"...The six-rotor structure ensures maneuverability! The solid-state hydrogen battery is powered to ensure endurance! Due to the aerodynamic design of the casing, it can fold the rotors after locking the target and perform unpowered gliding! We have improved the unmanned aerial vehicle
With the machine’s motor output power, its maximum load capacity can even reach 15 kilograms!”
"15 kilograms of load! Hey, if all of it is used to carry mixed explosives, its explosive power can even be comparable to two 155mm rounds in series!"
"We have designed two warheads for the switchblade, which can be installed on the top of the drone's head, or hung below the drone to dive and attack the top. Since the rotor is foldable, our switchblade can not only take off and land on the ground, but also
Eject or airdrop.”
"To sum up, this thing can be used against both armor and infantry. It is very easy to use!"
The entire drone is roughly equivalent to an enlarged version of the Y-1 Firefly. The motor is produced by the Lister Factory, the carbon nano design is completed by the scientific research team, and the control program is Xiaoqi's masterpiece.
As for what Goblin Technology has completed, it is mainly aerodynamic design and warhead design.
Compared to a portable drone that can be stuffed into a backpack, the shape of this "switchblade" is more like a common plant protection drone in the agricultural field.
After finally reading the translation on the VM, Vanus looked at Chu Guang with a strange expression.
"So...this thing is equivalent to a drone with a remote-controlled bomb strapped to it?"
Chu Guang was quite satisfied with the shape of this thing and said with a smile.
"is it not OK?"
Vanus was silent for a while and gave an uncertain answer.
"It's not impossible, it's just that the conditions are extremely harsh."
"How harsh?"
Vanus replied carefully.
"Only under certain circumstances can the kinetic energy of explosives be concentrated on the armor surface. If you just throw the bomb up... a ten kilogram warhead may not be enough."
Generally, the shock wave of explosives spreads in all directions, and in order to achieve the armor-breaking effect, the kinetic energy generated by the explosion must be transmitted to the armor surface as much as possible.
And the contact surface needs to be as small as possible.
If you just throw a bomb up there, ten kilograms of explosives will probably only scratch off a little paint, unless it's a monster like metallic hydrogen with an explosion speed of 24,000.
As for the “solid hydrogen” independently produced by the new alliance?
The power is far different.
Chu Guang didn't care about Vanus' suspicion and just smiled happily.
"...So as long as certain conditions are met, a ten kilogram warhead can also paralyze Conqueror 10, right?"
Vanus nodded.
"The only weakness of the Conqueror 10 is the chassis, which is the weakest part of the car body armor. But you can't expect to be so lucky every time. You can take advantage of the surrounding infantry to break the tracks and stuff explosives under the chassis.
Detonate."
Chu Guang did not speak, but waved his hand, indicating that the mosquitoes could start.
Seeing the manager's actions, Mosquito immediately trotted excitedly to the side of the launcher and drove away the God of Death who was about to operate it for him.
Why would he let others have this opportunity to show off in front of the camp leader NPC?
"Let's drive, let's drive!"
The God of Death suddenly became unhappy.
"Damn! Didn't you agree that I would test it?"
Mosquito continued without blushing.
"I said I wanted you to test the armor-piercing bullets, but I didn't say I wanted you to test the switchblade. Listen brother, this equipment is very difficult to operate. I'm afraid you won't be able to control it, so just let me do it!"
"@#%￥!"
This is not a fixed wing, so it is incredibly difficult to operate!
The God of Death cursed and walked away.
After driving away the boy standing next to the launcher, Mosquito directly connected to the drone using VM and synchronized the drone camera footage on the screen.
Target locked!
Route setting completed!
emission!
As the button was pressed, the drone lying on the launcher bounced out of the launcher like an arrow off the string.
The propeller roared, and everyone watched the drone speeding along the ground. In an instant, it flew hundreds of meters away and plunged directly into the crotch of the concrete tank.
With a bang, the flames of the explosion shot into the sky, and the thick smoke instantly jumped twenty or thirty meters. It actually lifted the concrete offensive from the ground and exploded into pieces!
The dust disperses.
Only a crater more than ten meters wide was left on the ground and concrete debris scattered around.
Even the steel bars inside the cement were blown to pieces, and no one was found intact.
The people watching on the sidelines all dodged the falling dirt and stone chips.
Vanus, who was standing next to Chu Guang, was motionless, and everyone was dumbfounded.
A drone carrying a remote-controlled bomb drilled into the crotch of a tank?
Can you still play like this?
No matter how you think about it, the cost of drones and remote-controlled bombs is much cheaper than those anti-tank missiles.
"pretty!"
Chu Guang, who clenched his fists, couldn't help but shout "Hello".
Although it is a target made of concrete, it is so powerful that even if it is a real tank, it is not easy to drive it out from the smoke of the explosion.
Looking at the mosquitoes coming this way, Chu Guang coughed slightly and said with a serious expression.
"I'm very satisfied with Plan 2. It would be nice if the maneuverability could be stronger!"
"I plan to purchase 100 aircraft and require them to be completed within a month. Can I do it?"
As soon as the mosquito heard this, he immediately patted his chest and made a vow.
"Don't worry, dear manager, Goblin Technology never disappoints its customers!"
Chu Guang looked at Vanus, with a hint of showoff in the smile on his face.
"How? Is this powerful enough?"
Vanus' Adam's apple moved, his eyes straightened and he nodded.
"...Maybe? If your drone can fly over without being shot down."
This thing is powerful, but its speed is not as fast as missiles and artillery shells, and the noise of the propeller is also a big problem.
But in terms of power alone, even he can't fault it.
Anyway, if he was asked to drive a tank, he definitely wouldn't want to have such a shot under his butt.
After all, even if the tank can hold it, the people inside can’t!
Chu Guang looked at the concrete wreckage not far away with a happy smile on his face.
"Don't worry about this issue. We will have at least 100 switchblades by the end of the month, and our enemies will only have 20 or 30 tanks at most."
