Chapter 76: The Army of Doom
What exactly is the weapon that the Federal Trade Commission has in its hands hands on? Everyone is curious, and the reporters know that everyone is curious, and they have finally gained something by digging up the inside story through various means.
It turns out that it is really a copycat metal storm, but it is higher than a metal storm, and the design of ultra-high battle damage shells is replaced by recyclable shells, which is equivalent to a hybrid of metal storms and SpaceX recoverable rockets, and even includes some concepts of the space shuttle, because the shells have moved away from the launch point and must glide to return to the original point.
Inside information shows that the military did not invest in this seemingly crazy project, but was just wishful thinking on the part of Ju Chen, a lover of weapons development, and, of course, it could also be a strange toy for the rich.
The reason why reporters can get these inside stories is because a lot of stuff is for engineers around the world on the engineering crowdsourcing platform ECC, and a lot of spies are mixed in it.
Originally, Juchen wanted to use ECC to compete with PCC, but now there is no need, the two are connected to each other, and ECC is more famous, which is equivalent to PCC's sister platform.
Weapon lovers are enthusiasts, and if there is an attempt to improve the Metal Storm weapon system, there is also the Greek phalanx of retro cold weapons is a bit of a.
That's right, after the exposure of the Imperial Butterfly close-in defense artillery system, Ju Chen generously announced his second weapon-related project, the Greek Phalanx or the Macedonian Phalanx retro project. He wanted to try to use modern advanced technology to produce ancient weapons.
First of all, to retro large round shield, scientific name: Aspis. But the material used is completely different, transparent aluminum is used, and the crystal arrangement is visually processed, that is, it can be seen through from the inside, but the inside cannot be seen clearly from the outside, which often appears in the torture room in anti-terrorist American dramas.
The outer side of the shield is covered with bumps that resemble diagonal armor, which can be used to deflect the sharpness of arrows and kill enemies during a collision.
Secondly, the spear, a 6-meter-long weapon of great destruction, scientific name: Sarissa spear. The material is still aluminum, but there is no need to be transparent, it can be perfectly balanced by modern and superb craftsmanship, the front end is lightweight, the rear end is weighted, and the counterweight hammer of the genuine Sarissa spear can be discarded.
The aluminum alloy is also made into a bizarre mirror, and the fan surface 60 degrees forward is a number of diamonds with strong reflection, which can dazzle the eyes under the stimulation of the sun, making the enemy half-blind. This is amazing, military fans know that modern technology is really good when they see this, and they basically start to throw off the genuine Macedonian phalanx of Chang'an Avenue here.
The armor is an enhanced version of the magical chain mail, which is a scheme that Ju Chen himself particularly appreciates, saving a lot of materials and being lighter than sheet metal armor. The reinforced chain mail is made of aluminum alloy, tightly arranged with non-periodic kinks, which is a technique with the steel cable net of the border wall, and then sewn with extremely tough tempered fibers, which can be worn directly as clothes, and soldiers will not feel uncomfortable wearing them all the time.
The helmet is still mainly transparent aluminum, but it is lined with fabric, and there are wormhole-type ventilation holes on the front and back, left and right, which are crooked and twisted, and the attack weapon cannot be directly pierced, and it is breathable and rainproof. This helmet also made military fans praise wildly, it was simply invulnerable, not only in the era of cold weapons, but also in modern times.
When the phalanx is destroyed, it is the beginning of the chaotic war, and at this time, it is the Tang knife, the world's three famous swords, Tang Dao, which is the world's three famous swords, debuted. Like the most famous sword now, the katana, the Tang sword is characterized by a straight blade, and the tip of the knife has been cleverly sharpened, which has better armor-piercing ability.
The mobility of the Macedonian phalanx is poor, and the flanks need auxiliary troops, such as the protection of cavalry, and the improvement of cavalry is even more bizarre, no longer using war horses at all, but mechanical kangaroos.
The mechanical kangaroo is the funniest one in this retro project, because Juchen has always admired the kangaroo's low-energy consumption and all-terrain running ability, and finally has the opportunity to express his admiration.
In fact, whether it is a war horse or a war elephant, the ability to run long distances is not as good as that of humans, and the African ancestors of humans are directly killing their prey, because the heat dissipation ability of naked apes is the best for large land animals, of course, it cannot be compared with kangaroos, kangaroos' Achilles tendons are springs, and they recover power every time they bounce.
To build a powerful cavalry, all you need is manpower to drive the mechanical kangaroos.
As long as the knight stands on top of the mechanical kangaroo and squats down to jump, similar to a kangaroo, the mechanical Achilles tendon, which is more elastic than the kangaroo, will absorb a large amount of kinetic energy with each jump, which will be converted into potential energy for the next time. Imagine a humanoid kangaroo galloping on the battlefield, and I'm afraid people with depression can't help but laugh. This is the product that is going to win the Nobel Prize for Funny.
Because it is a jumping sport, the complexity of the terrain is not an obstacle, whether it is a mountain, snow, or swamp, you can adapt to it by changing specific boots.
Military fans thought that the funny was over, but they didn't expect the cavalry's weapons to be even more bizarre, and they looked like pesticide sprayers at a glance!
It turned out that Juchen considered that the knight was almost yellow on the mechanical kangaroo, and he had no spare strength to pull the bow and shoot arrows, and even pulled the cross bow reluctantly, so he had to redesign the cavalry weapon for the kangaroo cavalry.
The backpack is designed as a special bow and arrow, to put it bluntly, it is an air bow filled with compressed gas, the firing device is on the helmet, as long as the target is stared at death, one hand pulls the trigger, the compressed gas can shoot out the sharp arrows, the whole back can carry a whole box of arrows, no less than 100, one arrow box is 10, and the arrow box can be replaced with one hand.
Don't forget the Kangaroo Cavalry's kinetic energy recovery device, which is also an inflatable device, inflating while running, and when you run to a distance where you can shoot the enemy, it is already filled with high-energy compressed gas, and then high-tech is great? Sorry, high-tech can really do whatever it wants.
The power of the air bow is almost comparable to that of a large cross bow, and it is not a problem to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, and understanding the horror of this setting, the military fans who originally read the joke were in awe: Damn, this is not ordinary.
It's so ridiculous that some fans accept incompetence: it's cheating.
One-way visual beveled armor round shield, high-reflective counterweight optimized aluminum alloy spear, non-periodic kink light thin chain mail, transparent aluminum wormhole stomatal helmet, mechanical kangaroo mount, mount automatic inflatable 100 combo super air bow...... The six major killing weapons are enough, and the cold weapons look scary enough.
If Monk Greenqin had these "cold weapons" back then, I am afraid that the British and French forces would have been defeated.
Some venture capital investors have quietly studied this ...... It's as if some of the equipment is more than just playthings, like that kind of helmet.
Assuming that the mechanical kangaroo recovers 100% of the kinetic energy, the main consumption is to overcome the friction on the ground, and assuming that the whole process needs only 10 times the original energy to overcome the ground friction during the jump, then the kangaroo cavalry may be 10 times more capable of running than the infantry.
Some forcefully marching troops can run about 150 kilometers in a day or two, which is already breathtaking, but if you change to a mechanical kangaroo, you can't run from the Central Plains to any strategic city to carry out a surprise attack in one day, this kind of mobility ability is scary enough.
Kangaroos can reach speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour, and if they run 20 hours a day, they can run an exaggerated figure of 1,000 kilometers.
To add insult to injury, the bike needs to be in good road condition to reach 50 km/h, and the Kangaroo Cavalry doesn't.
Only half of this figure can be reached, and it is considered a good infantry equipment.
Professor Gu Chen, a part-time philosopher, said meaningfully: "If thermonuclear war destroys most of humanity's industrial capacity, my cold weapon force may be the best weapon to conquer the entire earth." That's why I call this hypothetical army: the Army of Doom. ”
Netizens said: "The professor is so imaginative, please!"
"Hopefully, the Army of Doom will never be used. ”
"When I make a move, you should know you're going to walk home today...... No, the Earth is on the verge of becoming a single polity. ”
