Boom~~~Boom~~~~The dull and huge engine sound kept ringing, and a tank was driving in the wilderness. Judging from the appearance of this tank, it can still be seen that it is a British Firefly tank during World War II.
, but too many places have been transformed.
The engine part at the rear of the tank has been raised a lot so that it can accommodate the nuclear fusion reaction engine used in the Horned Dragon tank produced by the Guardian Group. The turret of the tank has also been greatly changed. The original British 17-pound anti-tank gun was replaced
The gun mantlet was removed, and a large hole was opened in the mantlet. It was replaced by a short and thick ion cannon barrel composed of four energy rails and a magnetic field restraint device. The top of the turret was also opened into a convertible shape and installed
equipped with advanced radar and fire control systems.
Moreover, there is also a red rotatable 'eye' on the front armor of the tank. This 'eye' is rotating around to observe.
The tank does not travel very fast, about 30 kilometers per hour, which is similar to the original speed of the Firefly tank. However, considering that the actual weight is close to 50 tons, which is almost a third higher than the original, the power is still very sufficient.
Tang Yu and Kristina stood nearby and watched the tank's movement with satisfaction. From time to time, he clicked on the light screen that popped up in front of him and input some data for calculation. After a while, he said to the communicator: "Try
Weapons system, target is a rock at eleven o'clock."
Squeak~~~The tank stopped and the turret began to rotate. Under the action of the new electric motor, the turret rotated very fast. The only drawback was that because the rear hood was raised, the turret could not rotate 360 degrees and could only face the direction.
Rotate 120 degrees left and right respectively.
All I saw was that the barrel of the ion cannon began to charge, and the electromagnetic restraint device compressed a blue-white light group. About 2 seconds later, with a bang, the ion group suddenly spurted out! Boom!!! The one 300 meters away
A rock was accurately hit, and the ultra-high temperature even melted part of the rock into magma in an instant!
"Very good, not bad. Now come down and prepare to test the shield system." Tang Yu said.
Click, the hatch opened, and a man wearing a VR holographic helmet emerged from the cockpit. As his head moved, the 'eye' in front of the tank also moved. It turns out that this 'eye' is to provide the driver with a field of vision.
The optical sensor. This man took off his helmet and it turned out to be Zheng Hong. He laughed with satisfaction and said: "Except for the suspension system and the insufficient sensitivity of the operation, this tank is so cool!!"
Then another militia soldier climbed out from the turret, with an excited look on his face. After the improvement, the Firefly tank only needs two people to operate, a driver and a gunner.
"The improvement of the suspension system can only go so far. If it is any more, the amount of work will be too large and the gains will outweigh the losses. We will have a brand new tank in the future." Tang Yu clapped his hands and said.
A T-800 holding an M-134 Gatling machine gun came over from the other side. Tang Yu nodded and said: "Okay, Zheng Hong, come here. Now we will start the second round of shield test, which is far from the last test."
The time for the shield to be broken is... 5 minutes and 14 seconds, start."
Wow~~~~~~~~!!! The Gatling gun in the T-800's hand spurted out tongues of fire! Countless bullets hit it! However, an energy light curtain appeared in front of the tank, blocking all the bullets! It was about
After resisting thousands of bullets for 20 seconds, the shield suddenly disappeared. Bang, bang, bang! Countless bullets hit the outer armor of the tank, leaving countless bullet marks.
Tang Yu continued to record data on the light screen.
"Um...brother Tang Yu...brother...please give me another chance! Just once! I really won't mess around this time..." Kang Hao kept laughing beside Tang Yu and kept saying.
"Don't call me brother, I should be younger than you." Tang Yu ignored him.
"Oh... this... sister-in-law... sister-in-law, please advise him... I was really careless before..." Kang Hao looked at the majestic modified Firefly tank, swallowed, and turned to face
Kristina said without saying a word.
Kristina tilted her head, pointed to a Firefly tank behind her whose road wheels and tracks had fallen apart and said, "If you hadn't been disobedient and had to drive that tank to 60 kilometers per hour, wouldn't Tang Yu
You will be angry."
"I have long said that the engine power of the Horned Dragon tank is 1,300 standard horsepower, which is more than twice the original engine power of the Firefly. Therefore, although it can theoretically drive to a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, in fact it exceeds the speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
There will be problems at 40 kilometers per hour. After all, the engine and the tank are not compatible, and this tank is from 100 years ago." Tang Yu said next to him.
"Yes...yes...yes...I realized my mistake...at that time...didn't I just want to help you try the theoretical maximum speed of this tank...hehe...hehe..." Kang Hao laughed along with him,
He scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment.
"But Tang Yu also said that this kind of tank can only be used as an infantry tank, and it can be propelled in conjunction with the infantry. The combat speed will generally not exceed 20 kilometers per hour." Kristina directly exposed Kang Hao's excuse.
Kang Hao suddenly choked and his whole body slumped down.
Tang Yu looked at his appearance, sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give you another chance. The inspection of the Churchill infantry tank will be conducted in the afternoon. You can claim one."
"Really! That's great!!" Kang Hao jumped up like a child and ran towards the ten modified Churchill infantry tanks neatly arranged behind him at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
The chassis of this tank is like a ship, the road wheels are very small, the turret is not big, and it is boxy. It even looks like a product from the late World War I. In short, it is an extremely ugly tank.
Under Tang Yu's modification, this tank also raised the rear engine part to install a nuclear fusion reaction engine, and installed a twin-mounted 30 mm caliber electromagnetic cannon on the turret. This kind of weapon is very useful for ordinary people.
For the Terminator, it will be a nightmare. And six laser close-in defense devices are installed on the wide and flat chassis.
This time, Tang Yu modified a total of ten Churchill infantry tanks and four Firefly tanks. The former was equipped with a high-power electromagnetic gun to fight against heavy targets, and the latter was equipped with twin 30mm caliber electromagnetic cannons to fight against light targets. Mainly
It's for the Terminator.
The modified Firefly tank is just a simple heavy firepower platform. In order to install electronic equipment, the original parallel machine guns and other weapons were also cancelled, so it can only operate with the modified Churchill tank equipped with a large number of close defense systems. Otherwise, it
Any nimble infantryman can put a Firefly tank to death.
Tang Yu also plans to assemble two giant tanks from the super-powerful engines and some usable parts disassembled from the previously destroyed Hunter tanks. These will form the main armored force of the new Atlanta Militia Regiment. With these
With the addition of armored weapons, Tang Yu finally gained some confidence.
Over the past month, survivors who have wandered over have also joined New Atlanta, which has restored the number of people in the settlement to about 8,000 people. Counting the 3,000 prisoners of war, New Atlanta has finally begun to show some signs of prosperity.
Time has entered June 2046, and there is still about half a month before the first batch of reinforcements sent from his own era arrive!
Now Tang Yu has set his sights further afield. To the northeast of New Atlanta is Southampton, and to the east is a large desert. The west and south are also barren. To the north is a mountain range that is not high but stretches widely.
, at the other end of the mountain range, there is an even larger human settlement - New Chengdu!!
