"When they think we are just toys and let down their guard and laugh, we have pierced them like a sword."
—Sasaki Musashi.
(At that time, he was the captain of the 8th Humanoid Weapons Squadron of the Holy Roman Empire of the Universe, with the official title of Staff Sergeant. This speech comes from his mobilization speech to his team members before the "Battle of Carthage".)
"modeling"
"Yingyang Style" is 20 meters tall and its main color is black. The head shape imitates the Roman Gallic G-shaped helmet, and the torso is in the famous "lobster armor" shape.
"Armed"
(Standard configuration) Machine gun, thermal saber.
(Optional) Hand grenades, flash grenades, smoke grenades, rocket launchers, semi-automatic smoothbore cannons, and shoulder missile compartments.
"development process"
When the Holy Roman Empire (HER) was founded, its economy and armaments were far inferior to other forces.
The monarch of HER, Frederick I, was an extremely fanatical person about "legends". He firmly believes that the humanoid weapons that appear in the "legend" are the hope that will lead HER to prosperity.
However, under the technical conditions at the time, there were too many difficulties to overcome in developing a humanoid weapon that could be used in actual combat. So much so that when other forces learned about HER's plan, they all laughed at it, thinking that it was just a toy and a living target in the universe.
At that time, all forces spent money on the development of fighter jets and warships, which meant that humanoid weapons had to be faster than fighter jets; their protective power must not be destroyed by fighter jets; and their firepower could sink the armor of warships, otherwise there would be no necessity of existence.
Since it appears in "legend", the breakthrough point may also exist in "legend". Genius scientist Keanu Long found inspiration from "legends" and solved development problems one by one.
The first is power. At that time, fighter jets still used fuel engines. Such engines could not support much larger humanoid weapons. Dr. Keanu Long set his sights on the nuclear power engine of the battleship, miniaturized it and made an engine for humanoid weapons.
But nuclear engines are unstable, especially when miniaturized. To this end, Keanu Lang studied the "legendary" photon energy technology and applied it to miniaturized nuclear energy engines to enhance reliability.
Next is the protection capability, which requires a trade-off between weight and mobility. Keanu Lang's team developed a new composite material for this purpose, which incorporates new metal elements discovered by HER in the universe, making it lighter than any material that has appeared before while also taking into account the hardness. , they named it "HER material".
(Other forces changed the name to "Material A" after copying this technology.)
By stacking HER materials layer by layer, the "Yingyang-style" reliable outer armor was finally made. In addition to increasing the hardness of composite materials, when faced with bullets and explosive fragments, only the outermost layer of HER material will be destroyed, while the inner layer of HER material will not be penetrated, leaving the same part of the fuselage It can withstand multiple hits, which also makes the maintenance of humanoid weapons easier.
At this point, the prototype of the humanoid weapon was finally developed, and after several modifications. Frederick I personally named it "Eagle Raising Style", which means "Eagle Raising Rome".
In terms of firepower, it was the most unexpected of all forces.
Using firearms to fire bullets in the universe requires a huge amount of kinetic energy for the bullets, so the firearms at that time had poor shooting effects in the universe. In this regard, HER's solution was the same as the engine, miniaturizing the cannon on the battleship to create a "cannon gun", because the cannon at that time had already solved the problem of insufficient kinetic energy of ammunition in the space environment. However, one flaw of the machine gun is that its muzzle is too large, and dust from the universe can easily adhere to the inside of the barrel, making maintenance more difficult.
The design of the Yingyang type also takes into account future "anti-humanoid weapons" battles. It is equipped with a thermal energy saber. The nuclear energy engine heats the blade to achieve the effect of cutting iron like mud.
In addition to the above standard armament, the Yingyang can also be equipped with grenades, smoke grenades, flash grenades, shoulder missile compartments (can launch 6 missiles), and can also be equipped with rocket launchers and semi-automatic smoothbore cannons according to the requirements of the driver and commander. pick one of two. However, the more equipment you carry, the greater the burden on your body.
"Achievements"
Although various countries obtained information about HER's development of humanoid weapons, no one expected that HER could mass-produce humanoid weapons at that time.
In the "Battle of Carthage", the disadvantaged HER fleet was continuously repelled, causing the Alliance fleet to relax its vigilance and be caught off guard by the sudden appearance of humanoid weapons. In the end, HER sank 78 Alliance warships, captured 46 warships, and captured 234 fighter jets at the cost of 41 warships, 78 fighter jets, and 2 Yingyang aircraft.
The alliance fell apart due to the losses in this battle. HER pursued the victory and seized a large number of colonial satellites. During this period, humanoid weapons played an important role. After witnessing the potential of humanoid weapons, various forces also began to develop their own humanoid weapons.
