Setting 7: Hawkeye "Hundred Steps" on Osiris

"I thought this would be the first humanoid weapon equipped with laser weapons."

—Osiris technician Armstrong

"I could shoot better if the barrels were replaced less frequently."

—Sergeant Anton Gagarin, crew member of the Osiris.

"Origin of the name"

It means "a hundred steps to cross the Yang".

"modeling"

A modified version of the "Lifeguard" painted in white, with stronger limbs and torso than the "Lifeguard". The glass mask on the head is replaced by a dedicated high-performance re-eye system.

"Armed"

A dedicated laser sniper rifle, a dedicated live-fire sniper rifle and the standard armament of the "lifeguard".

"Driver Introduction"

When talking about the "lifeguard" setting, we mentioned that the performance of the humanoid weapons developed by the Covenant in the early stages was lower than HER's Eagle-type weapons, and they were often overwhelmed by the enemy on the battlefield. Therefore, drivers and commanders usually choose conservative defense tactics in actual combat, which increases the requirements for drivers' shooting skills.

Anton Gagarin, a former Covenant fighter pilot, belonged to the colonial satellite "Mycenae" Legion, and later became a humanoid weapon pilot.

After experiencing dozens of fiascos, Anton realized that if he wanted to use the current humanoid weapons to fight against HER's Eagle Type, he had to accurately repel the enemy from a distance. Otherwise, when the enemy approaches, the "lifeguard" will lose. It's even worse.

So Anton, who was already good at sniping, became the first officially recorded sniper with humanoid weapons in the RX era. At first, he was able to shoot enemies within the maximum range of the machine gun, which is very difficult to do in the universe. . His marksmanship amazed his comrades and enemies, and naturally attracted the attention of the Covenant's upper echelons. They asked Anton to test the newly developed live-fire sniper rifle for humanoid weapons in actual combat. The results were much higher than their expectations. Anton became a well-known sharpshooter and was dubbed the "White Eagle" by his comrades. From then on, HER Dare not approach the territory of the colonial satellite "Mycenae".

Anton's military exploits increased, and his military rank became lieutenant. But he is a staunch anti-HER, and he has many like-minded people gathered around him, which makes the "Mycenaean" colonial assembly, which is already planning to surrender to HER, uneasy. Later, Anton beat the reporter in anger because the reporter insulted his dead comrade during an interview. Parliament imprisoned him and his rank was reduced to sergeant.

But Brigadier General Shepard of "Mycenae" protected Anton and made him his confidant. Commodore Shepard also used his own resources and fame to prompt the "Mycenaean" official and private parties to jointly fund the construction of the battleship Osiris. This made the surrender faction's parliament even more nervous. In order to avoid any military action by Commodore Shepard after they announced their surrender to HER, the parliament drove the Osiris and Commodore Shepard to Earth for a trial voyage.

Before the Osiris went to Earth, the first humanoid weapon "Hundred Steps" customized by the Covenant for Anton and equipped with a laser long-range weapon was completed. It was brought to the ship by Commodore Shepard and became the Osiris's weapon. Valuable combat power.

"development process"

Various forces are developing laser weapons for humanoid weapons, but this is very difficult. Because laser weapons consume huge amounts of energy, even if humanoid weapons are not expected to fire a few more rounds in battle, the risk of laser weapons overheating and exploding in battle due to the shrinking size of the firearm cannot be avoided.

Covenant R&D personnel took a different approach and canceled the development of laser rifle weapons and instead studied laser sniper weapons. At that time, there were already live ammunition sniper rifles for humanoid weapons. This kind of sniper rifle was huge in size and could be packed with more cooling devices to prevent the gun from overheating.

Having an idea does not mean smooth development. After dozens of failures, they finally built a sniper rifle that can shoot lasers. But after firing this gun once, the middle barrel will be close to melting due to overheating.

The solution is to replace a middle barrel every time a shot is fired. For this reason, they installed a "barrel chain" like a machine gun bullet chain on the sniper rifle, which can automatically replace the barrel after each shot. This makes the entire gun body larger in size and weight, requiring longer preparation before shooting.

In any case, the laser sniper rifle has been manufactured. The next step is to create a humanoid weapon worthy of this gun. This is the "Hundred Steps".

Baibu has the most advanced camera aiming system, and the cockpit has a simulated gun stock and trigger device to facilitate the driver's aiming. In order to improve survivability, Baibu's armor is also thicker. The internal system has also undergone a major overhaul, and some of the body data are even higher than the No. 2 machine developed by the Moore Chamber of Commerce.
