In Chen Xin's exclusive laboratory, a six-wheeled car less than three meters long was parked in front of him.
The body of the car is short and compact, leaving only two seats: the driver's seat and the passenger seat. The car is equipped with a round machine that looks like an astronomical telescope, almost one-third as long as the car, and the matching base is Occupies the back half of the car.
This is the new weapon Chen Xin created after being inspired by Qin Lan.
A laser weapon launching platform modified from the chassis of a Lynx assault vehicle.
Chen Xin has made a total of two versions, using pulse laser and continuous laser respectively. After small-scale trial production, they will be sent to the military for testing to determine the specific model for mass production.
However, Chen Xin is more optimistic about the pulse laser version, mainly because the damage effect of this laser is better than that of the continuous laser.
Of course, after Chen Xin upgraded, the damage effects of these two lasers have reached the standards of practical weapons, but the operating modes are different.
This six-wheeled assault vehicle equipped with two laser weapons is light and compact, and the six-wheeled chassis also has quite good traffic capabilities, and can have good maneuverability even in underground tunnels.
After Chen Xin's adjustments and upgrades, the laser weapon it carries only needs to be irradiated for about 0.5 seconds to cause effective damage to the combat sub-body.
Although it sounds like it only shortens the time from a few seconds to a few tenths of a second, which doesn't seem like much, in actual combat, it undoubtedly greatly improves the killing efficiency of laser weapons.
To give a simple example, if it takes 2-3 seconds to irradiate a combat child to cause effective damage and penetrate its chitin exoskeleton carapace, how can we ensure that the laser can be used in underground tunnel battles? Keep shining the same light for at least 5 seconds?
You must know that in the combat ring of underground tunnels, alien creatures still have considerable mobility. In addition to being able to move forward on the ground, they can also climb on the sides and top of the cave. In such an environment, if you want to Pointing a laser at a moving target and keeping it illuminated for several seconds is not an easy task.
In this case, it is best to shorten the time of laser irradiation, and it is best to be able to ignite the laser irradiation like in science fiction works, or even penetrate and cut.
However, although this kind of high-power and high-damage laser weapon Chen Xin can be manufactured through system upgrades, it is not suitable for production.
At least there is no way to achieve mass production in a short period of time to meet the military's needs for clearing out alien creatures in underground tunnels during counterattacks.
An irradiation time of 0.5 seconds can achieve effective damage. Such laser weapons can already meet the needs of the military and are also easy to produce.
Chen Xin has already asked the factory. They only need to slightly adjust the production line. The production of other parts is ready. In one month, one hundred small assault vehicles equipped with laser weapons can be equipped to the army to meet the needs of the army. need.
However, Chen Xin still tried to make a laser weapon with power that could instantly cut open the body of a combatant within the effective irradiation range to prepare for emergencies.
Of course, this laser cannon with the power to instantly cut through the body of a combat sub-body is not suitable for installation on an assault vehicle, but is more suitable as 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 power it can output is limited. The consumption of an ordinary laser weapon is already the limit.
As for Titan, the energy power it can output is much higher than that of a small assault vehicle.
For this reason, Chen Xin is also planning to equip Titan with laser weapons.
After all, if Titan could be equipped with more powerful laser weapons and directly sweep away alien creatures in the tunnels, combat efficiency would undoubtedly be greatly improved.
However, Chen Xin still had concerns about the actual use effect of laser weapons. He planned to wait until the military put two assault vehicles equipped with laser weapons into actual combat to test the effects, and then consider whether to equip Titan with laser weapons based on the effects.
Laser weapons and live ammunition weapons are two completely different weapons, and the method of use is more similar to holding a flashlight to illuminate the target, rather than shooting a bullet-like light group as shown in many movies.
Therefore, the use must be different from existing weapons. The specific use of this new weapon still 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 new weapons so quickly. Although they made requests to Chen Xin, they only had the mentality of giving it a try and did not really place their hopes on the new weapons. .
After all, they also knew that this request was very inhumane and somewhat whimsical.
The development of a new weapon, from design and finalization, to trial production, to actual combat testing, and finally to mass production, usually takes several years.
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 had created so many miracles before that the military had such an idea.
But even so, the military is still prepared for the lack of new weapons. They themselves feel that even if Chen Xin can come up with new weapons that meet the requirements in three months, they may not be able to enter mass production and catch up with the subsequent ones. Counterattack and suppression operations.
But now that Chen Xin had done it, the military was undoubtedly greatly shocked.
However, the way soldiers think about problems is different from ordinary people. For them, there is no preparation for new weapons. If they have new weapons, they will naturally make adjustments around them.
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 this seems to be similar to the damage caused by large-caliber bullets or small-caliber machine gun shells, it is obvious that the two still have the same essence. difference.
Laser weapons have well solved the problem of ricochet that the military has been worried about, as well as the problem that the explosion of artillery shells may cause tunnel collapse, and satisfied 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 start studying tactics and usage methods. On the one hand, they also returned the test results to Chen Xin and put forward some suggestions for improvement.
