Chapter 151: High-Tech Soldiers (II)

"Try it yourself?"

Hearing Vivian say this, Cheng Yuan finally couldn't help it and agreed to try on this super battle armor.

After seeing Cheng Yuan agree, Vivian just clapped her hands, and saw a female soldier in regular clothes walking over with a set of battle armor in both hands, and then helped Cheng Yuan put on his clothes.

Sure enough, as Vivien said before, although this set of battle armor looks complicated, it is all a module, as long as the armor is put on in order and the buckle is fastened, you can quickly put on the battle armor neatly, although it is a little more troublesome than wearing clothes, but it is much simpler and faster than the so-called medieval armor.

In fact, even if you don't have the help of the female soldier, as long as you follow the instructions, you can get dressed quickly, but if someone helps, you can wear it faster.

Put on your clothes, put on your helmet again, and then start the electronic device of the battle armor, and soon, some graphic data will appear in front of the helmet in front of you, at a glance, including the room temperature outside the clothes and the temperature inside the armor, as well as data including heart rate, which can provide real-time posture support.

"How does it feel?" Vivien asked.

"Hmm." Cheng Yuan stretched out his arm, did a few more squats in place, then walked a few steps, and nodded, "It's not heavy, and it's also very flexible, and the real-time assistance system on the helmet is also very good, not only can you clearly see your body temperature, heart rate and breathing and other data, but there is also a radar in the upper left corner, you can clearly see your position and the location of your allies." In short, with this, it feels like playing CS, and the body feels very good. ”

"Then do you want to shoot yourself and try it at a target?" Vivien asked again.

"Yes." Cheng Yuan nodded.

After seeing Cheng Yuan's agreement, Vivian clapped her hands again, and the female soldier immediately held a black automatic rifle with an optical scope in both hands and handed it to Cheng Yuan, which was the kind of SG42 automatic rifle that Vivian had said.

The SG42 automatic rifle looks a bit like the famous AUG rifle, also with a stockless structure, but the front sight is shorter than the AUG's crosshair, and it weighs less, and the overall feel is more comfortable than the AUG.

"It's very light to pick up, a bit like an AUG, but it feels a little different." Cheng Yuan commented.

"Of course." Vivien explains, "This gun uses a lot of nanomaterials such as carbon fiber, so it's stronger than steel, but it's lighter, so it's slightly heavier than a plastic foam gun." Also, this SG42 is indeed borrowed from AUG, but with many improvements.

For example, this gun has a lighter bolt and faster magazine change, so in the heat of battle, as long as the magazine is replaced, you can shoot directly without pulling the bolt.

Also, this gun has lowered the aiming baseline, which can be aimed with or without optical aiming, which increases the shooting stability; The front grip of the gun is also more rear, the barrel is slightly more homely, and the muzzle has been treated a little more, so that while slightly increasing the firepower, it also avoids burning the forehand when firing.

Of course, the most important thing is the ammunition, the gun uses 4.73 caliber caseless ammunition, which is lighter, and also eliminates the need for a shell throwing procedure, allowing for a faster rate of fire. The normal magazine capacity is 50 rounds, and the extended version has a magazine capacity of 80 rounds, and offers three modes: automatic fire, triple burst fire and semi-automatic individual fire, with a rate of fire of up to 2,600 rounds per minute. ”

"Such a small caliber?" Cheng Yuan frowned, "How can the power be guaranteed?" ”

"You can rest assured in terms of power." Vivian smiled, "First of all, due to the use of a new type of propellant and a smaller caliber, this bullet has an astonishing initial velocity of 1120 meters per second, which can provide stronger kinetic energy. In addition, we have also carried out special treatment for the warhead, taking into account both penetration and lethality.

First of all, in the warhead part, we have done a hardening treatment, which is harder than ordinary bullets, that is, slightly worse than depleted uranium bullets, coupled with high muzzle velocity, so that this bullet has a strong armor-piercing ability, and if it encounters a hard obstacle such as ordinary steel plate or body armor, it will quickly penetrate into it and go directly to the inside of human tissue.

And in order to cause more damage to human tissue, we used lead in the middle part behind the hard warhead, and there were special small notches in the unilateral carving. In this way, when the warhead is faced with a hard obstruction and produces resistance, because the muzzle velocity is too fast, and it is rotating forward, the small gap behind does not work, and then, after entering the soft tissues of the human body, the bullet will be wrapped by the soft tissues of the human body, at this time, the small gap made of lead will cause the bullet to cause a large tumble, thereby causing greater damage to the soft tissues.

We have done tests and used this gun to shoot a pig wearing a Kevlar body armor, the bullet can easily penetrate the Kevlar body armor and shoot into the pig's body, and then, the hole is very small, but the hole is the size of a baby's fist, although it cannot be compared with the efficacy of a dummy bullet, but the lethality is also greater than that of an ordinary 7.62 mm bullet.

In conclusion, due to the use of small-caliber caseless shells, it is possible for soldiers to carry more ammunition. Usually, a soldier carries 1,000 rounds of this shellless ammunition, which is equivalent to the weight of 220 rounds of M16 ammunition, but the power is stronger than that of M16 ammunition, and the shooting stability and rate of fire are also higher, so that in a firefight, the advantage is very obvious.

And don't forget, this gun can also be synchronized with the combat assistance system of the battle armor, that is, as long as the combat assistance system is turned on and your combat system is synchronized and wirelessly interconnected with this gun, then you don't need to deliberately use the gun's scope, just stretch the muzzle forward, and a virtual crosshair will appear in your helmet to help you shoot. ”

"Sounds pretty good." Cheng Yuan said, "I don't know what to do." ”

"Anderson!" Vivian suddenly looked at the white instructor next to her, "Help Mr. Cheng Yuan demonstrate." ”

"Yes, Miss Vivien." The Anderson nodded, and then walked up to Cheng Yuan, "Mr. Cheng Yuan, please follow me." ”

After speaking, Anderson walked to the open-air shooting range on the side first, and Cheng Yuan also followed him, and after arriving at the shooting range, Anderson began to put on Vivien's No. 6 battle armor by himself, and then picked up an SG42 automatic rifle.

After the equipment was completed, Anderson began to explain to Cheng Yuan: "Mr. Cheng Yuan, the operation of this gun is very simple, and it has a friend or foe identification system, once it is pointed at a person with battle armor, the safety will be locked and will not be fired, just like this." ”

After speaking, Anderson directly aimed the muzzle of the gun at Cheng Yuan, and then quickly pulled the trigger, but there was only a jam, but no bullets were fired.

"Look, no." After Anderson finished speaking, he put the muzzle of the gun up and pointed to one of the switches, "Look here, this thing seems to be a fast and slow machine, it is a synchronous interconnection switch, turn this on, you can have a linkage with your own battle armor, so that your auxiliary combat system can appear the virtual crosshair of this gun, you give it a try." ”

Hearing him say this, Cheng Yuan turned on the synchronization switch he grabbed in his hand, and sure enough, as soon as he turned it on, the subtitles on the helmet showed that he had found the new configuration, and then the image of SG42 quickly appeared.

"There must be an image of SG42 in your helmet by now." "If you agree to connect this weapon, just nod your head, and then you can complete the connection, if you don't agree, you shake your head, and you won't connect with this weapon." Of course, if you have multiple weapons nearby that aren't connected but can be matched with your combat system, you'll have a lot of options for your helmet, and you can choose which weapon you need by shaking your head, shaking your head, and nodding your head. For example, if you choose a weapon, you only need to quickly shake your head to an action to change the weapon, and if you select it, you can nod your head, and you can make a successful match. If you want to dismantle it, it's easy, just turn off the weapon's interconnection button. ”

Hearing him say this, Cheng Yuan tried, and sure enough, after he nodded, the weapon image in the helmet lit up, and then shrunk to the upper left corner, and after the weapon icon was in the upper left corner, a virtual one immediately appeared in front of him, like the kind of crosshair in CS.

After the front sight appeared, Cheng Yuan took the gun and swung it at will, and sure enough, with the change of the muzzle, the front sight also changed, obviously linked with the muzzle.

"Looks like you've learned." After finding Cheng Yuan swinging the muzzle back and forth, Anderson nodded, "Although this interconnection is good, it is easy to make people feel dependent, and it also consumes electricity, if you plan to fight for a long time, it is better to turn it off." Generally, this kind of interconnected combat is carried out in a short period of time, which can be more accurate and more able to cope with complex environments. For example, with this function, it can be used as a turning gun, able to shoot outwards without showing its head, like this! ”

As soon as he said this, Anderson didn't look back, directly held the gun in one hand, and shot continuously in the back, and after his series of short high-speed shots that barely stopped inaudible, Cheng Yuan could see very clearly that the targets behind Anderson were knocked down one by one, as if Anderson had eyes on his back.

After shooting a row of targets, Anderson stopped firing, put the gun on his back, took off his helmet again, and smiled at Cheng Yuan: "How is it, not bad, right?" ”

"Awesome." Cheng Yuan nodded, "You did all this by relying on the crosshair of the auxiliary combat system?" ”

"Yes." Anderson nodded, "But it's not entirely dependent on that, after all, it's just an assist, and the key depends on your own feel." After all, in the actual process of shooting, even if the recoil of this gun is already very small, but after all, it is impossible to completely eliminate the recoil, so when shooting, you must master the recoil, this is the feel, and to get a good feel, you can only rely on talent and practice to obtain. ”

"Understood." Cheng Yuan nodded approvingly, "It's like me playing shooting games like CS, although they are all played, but there are masters and low hands, the key is to see who has a better grasp of recoil and who plays more accurately." ”

"Hehe, although it's different from the game, it also makes some sense." Anderson smiled again, "Okay, the target is ready, you can shoot it yourself." ”

Nodding, Cheng Yuan silently walked to the side, then half-knelt on the ground, took a normal shooting posture, and then used three shots, automatic fire, and single-shot shots.

In actual shooting, Cheng Yuan felt that the recoil of this gun was indeed not large, especially when firing, the recoil was almost not felt, but if it was a high-speed automatic fire mode, and three consecutive burst shots, the recoil could still be felt relatively clearly, and the muzzle beating was also more obvious.

Of course, the muzzle of any gun will jump when it is fired continuously, and the muzzle of this gun is much better than other types of guns.

With the help of the auxiliary shooting system, although Cheng Yuan's shooting performance is not as good as Anderson's, it is not satisfactory, and he hit 42 of the 50 targets in total, which is quite good for a rookie like him.

After a series of shooting and activities, Cheng Yuan obviously felt the benefits of this battle armor, so to speak, even a combat rookie like Cheng Yuan, wearing this equipment, can immediately become a strong soldier, not to mention other professionally trained professional soldiers.

Sure enough, after Cheng Yuan finished enjoying himself, under Vivian's gesture and Anderson's command, the group of heavily armed special combat soldiers conducted a live exercise in various situations in front of Cheng Yuan and Vivian.

These special combat teams have practiced assault operations in buildings, sneak attacks on complex terrain, and other battles in bad terrain conditions, and it can be seen that the movements of the soldiers of all special combat teams are simple and efficient, and with the assistance of high-tech equipment, they are even more powerful. Watching their entire action is like watching a sci-fi blockbuster, which always gives a unique visual impact.

However, Anderson also said that although the equipment of the special combat team is good, these equipment are very complex and highly dependent on logistics, mainly for short-term assault use, and it will not work for long-term operations, it will run out of power quickly, and ammunition consumption will be fast, so strong logistics support is needed.

Under normal circumstances, in addition to carrying out anti-terrorist operations, it is impossible for these soldiers to go out to fight alone in field operations, and they must cooperate with large troops, that is, ordinary soldiers who do not have special combat armor to follow, and they must also be followed by heavy weapons.

These special combat teams, just like other special forces, are the sharpest blades, but a knife cannot only have a blade, and other parts must keep up.

"We also have a set of heavy weapons, or support fire systems." Vivian said, "In addition to ordinary armored vehicles, we are equipped with a number of exoskeleton armor systems. ”

"Exoskeleton armor system? What is that? Cheng Yuan asked.

"Have you seen Avatar?" Vivien said.

"Yes." Cheng Yuan nodded.

"That's good." Vivien smiled, "Our exoskeleton armor system is similar to the skeleton armor in the Avatar, look over there!" ”

Cheng Yuan followed Vivian's fingers and found that there were several robots that were about the same height as the big forklift, or the Titan robots, standing in the back compartments of several large trucks parked not far away.

This robot is pitch black, has four mechanical legs, and two arms, and its entire body is an oval-shaped egg, which looks like a large black egg that walks on four legs and has two arms extended!

"Egg-shaped robots?" Cheng Yuan was stunned.

"No, it's a large exoskeleton armor, or rather, a mechwarrior." Vivien said.

"Mechwarrior?" Cheng Yuan said thoughtfully, "In other words, this is not a robot, but a person who controls it inside?" ”

"Yes." Vivien nodded, "The simple use of robot warriors will definitely attract a lot of doubts at present, and our technology is not perfect, robots are always a little dull, in the complex and changeable battlefield, the robot warriors who use this kind of firepower now are still a little inappropriate, and it is easy to cause accidental injuries." Therefore, in the end, it is better to use robots made by humans, or to use skeletal armor. In this way, the main body of the control is people, and many problems are easy to solve. ”

As soon as he said this, the three egg-shaped robots, no, egg-shaped mechas, came over, and Cheng Yuan could see and understand that the head of the egg-shaped mecha was a transparent cab, and there were people in it.

"The glass in the cab is all nanoglass, and there is a graphene film on the surface." Vivien pointed to the cab, "So don't look very transparent, but it's not fragile at all, even if it's an RPG direct shot, it can't penetrate it, so using this kind of armor skeleton, the security surname is quite strong." ”

"Well, yes, yes." Cheng Yuan nodded.

"In addition, this mecha has four legs and two hands, which can cope with complex terrain and environment, and can use a variety of weapons." Vivien continued, "For example, the hands of this egg-shaped mecha can use cold weapons such as chainsaws, hammers, axes, etc., as well as ordinary machine guns and machine guns, whether it is plains or mountains, the survivability and field control ability in complex terrain are quite strong. ”

"No matter how strong you are, you still walk on the ground." Cheng Yuan shook his head, "If you encounter an armed helicopter, it's all over." ”

"Those are two different things." Vivian said, "Let's not say that this kind of mecha has the means to fight helicopters, let's just say that the helicopter itself also has many limitations, and it can't be so flexible as this mecha." For example, if you want to fight earthquake relief and rescue people in the rubble, this kind of robot is much stronger than a helicopter. Or urban street fighting, this robot is also more capable than a helicopter. ”

"Hehe, that's right." Cheng Yuan agreed, "Modern warfare is a war in which multiple arms cooperate, and it is impossible for one branch of the army to conquer the world. However, this kind of heavy equipment doesn't have much to do with exoskeletons. The exoskeleton we usually talk about should be a single soldier assistance system. ”

"Don't worry, the soldier's individual equipment is indispensable." Vivien smiled, "Look at the back." ”

Cheng Yuan turned his head to take a look, and sure enough, he found that behind the three egg-shaped mechas, there were three special combat team members walking around, the biggest difference between these three special combat team members was that their battle armor was also wrapped with a layer of mechanical arms and mechanical legs, and there was a big bag behind them, which looked as if there was an exoskeleton supporting it.

"This is the individual exoskeleton aid." Vivian said, "This exoskeleton aid of Exoskeleton III is made of carbon fiber material, which is very lightweight, and with the use of a new battery and electric motor, the soldier only needs to use very little force to drive it and let it carry you around." Basically, with a little practice, you can use this exoskeleton aid to march continuously for 100 kilometers on foot at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, and if necessary, you can also reach a sprint speed of 60 kilometers per hour. In addition, with this exoskeleton assist, a soldier can easily equip a 100-kilogram weight without any sense of burden or weight. All in all, with this exoskeleton assist, the soldier can do super Hercules movements with a force lighter than walking. ”

"Yes, yes, it would be perfect if there were helicopters."

"There are also helicopters, and there are two kinds, but they are still being modified, so they can't be seen now." Speaking of this, Vivien smiled, "In short, your army is like this, it is a high-tech army composed of ordinary soldiers, special combat soldiers, exoskeleton auxiliaries, egg-shaped mechas, and a large number of armored vehicles, helicopters and other heavy weapons. What do you think, how is this army I engaged in is better than Martina's army? (To be continued.) )
