0063 Annihilator

&

& Mass production? Does it matter? Lin Hai and Liu Yan glanced at each other, puzzled.

& Tank, which was developed by the Defense Army when it exchanged fire with robots on Mars, because the robots were not afraid of death, and the attack was very fierce, and often formed an encirclement war against the human army. In one sentence, this tank is born: it was born to be surrounded. Chen Xi motioned for everyone to follow him, and gave Lin Hai and Liu Yan popular science knowledge as they went.

>> This tank is very thickly armored? Lin Hai asked.

Liu Yan's heart was itching, and he said to Lin Hai impatiently: "Why do you say so much, you just release it and let everyone see it." ”

>> No, who knows if there are satellites passing over our heads. Chen Xi hurriedly stopped Lin Hai, who wanted to summon the tank out, "Let's go there," he pointed to a large warehouse near the camp, "We rented this warehouse, let's call it out here." ”

> Why did you rent such a large warehouse? After seeing this huge warehouse with a height of 20 meters and a width of 100 meters, Lin Hai was speechless for a moment, does Chen Xi have the ability to be a prophet? Such a large warehouse was prepared in advance.

& It was a warehouse, which the locals used to put cashew nuts and grain. However, due to the civil war, this warehouse was abandoned. We just rented it as a storeroom. ”

As soon as they walked into the warehouse, Lin Hai saw that all the vehicles they were riding in were parked here.

& What are you parking here? Liu Yan took the first step to express the doubts in his heart.

& It can make people confused about our reality and reality. Chen Xi said, "I don't know how many people, how many cars, how many equipment. Such a warehouse is important to us. ”

& Right, right here? Walking to the vacant space, Lin Hai asked.

&Here, everybody, stand back. Chen Xi nodded and began to ask everyone to step back.

&Is the Annihilator big? Seeing Chen Xi like this, Liu Yan couldn't help asking.

&> You'll know when you arrive. Chen Xi didn't explain, just asked everyone to give up the space.

After everyone gave up a large piece of open space and Chen Xi nodded, Lin Hai summoned the miraculous tank that Chen Xi said.

Then Lin Hai and Liu Yan came out "wow".

In front of them was a huge steel structure, about twenty meters long, eight meters wide, and five meters high. It has two large black barrels, a large metal box on each side of the turret, and two automatic weapon stations with large-caliber guns on the roof. The whole body and turret look slightly square, with only a slight inclination, and the exterior is painted with beautiful desert camouflage. Although it just stopped quietly, its huge body exuded the momentum of an ancient beast.

&This is the Annihilator? Lin Hai felt that his mouth was a little dry, and quickly swallowed his saliva.

>> This is the X-66 Annihilator Super Heavy Attack Tank. Even this oldest-fashioned first-production model costs a full 30 million United Shield. Oh, the United Shield is the main currency of another world, and in terms of current purchasing power, one United Shield is equivalent to three euros......"

& I don't care," Seeing what Chen Xi was talking about, Lin Hai was speechless, and he hurriedly interrupted the other party's words, "I just want to know the performance data of this annihilator!" So that I can arrange a fight that suits it. ”

>> "Chen Xi climbed onto the huge tank in a few clicks and beckoned to Lin Hai and Liu Yan, "Come up and take a look." ”

Finally, with the help of a group of soldiers, two people clumsily climbed onto the tank.

Chen Xi had already opened the hatch of the turret at this time, and he squatted to the side and beckoned the two to come closer.

& Is the hatch cover heavy? Seeing that Chen Xi had to use his arms to open this hatch, Lin Hai was a little surprised.

>> Well, the armor of this thing is very thick, so you can take a look. Chen Xi pointed to the edge of the entrance and exit.

Looking at the top armor that was thicker than the palm of his hand, the two young men compared with their hands, and then looked at Chen Xi together.

Lin Hai simply asked him, "How thick is the armor of this thing?" ”

Chen Xi patted the top cover armor and said, "Because this is the oldest model, the armor is already the thinnest among the super-heavy tanks." Its armor thickness is the same in both the body and the turret, with 600 mm of armor in the front, 500 mm in the sides, 400 mm in the rear and 300 mm in the top. ”

&&Isn't it too thick? Liu Yan muttered, "This is not even as good as the M1 of country M." ”

&Sorry. Chen Xi laughed embarrassedly, "I forgot to say, this armor data is the actual thickness of its armor." ”

& Isn't something made of composite armor? Lin Hai thought for a while and asked.

&Yes, because it is not necessary. Chen Xi knocked on the armor again, "This tank armor is made of G-shaped alloy from another world. The defense power of that alloy armor is ten times that of conventional steel armor, but the weight is more than half that of the same volume of steel, which is synthesized by adding a thing found on Mars that scientists named G ore, although it can also be synthesized on Earth, but the cost is 100 times that of G ore. In fact, even the Space Force, the Defense Forces, only the most important combat ships use this alloy as armor. The reason why this armor is also used for tanks is because on Mars, the robot rebels are too much of a headache. This tank can be used offensively in normal times, and its heavy armor can disable most weapons, allowing it to cover other lightly armored allies. When defending, it is an impregnable fortress when it stops directly at the battle position. ”

& You say that the armor of this thing is 6000 mm in front, 5000 mm in side armor, 4000 mm in rear armor, and 3000 mm in top armor? After comparing the data, Liu Yan felt that he could put his fist in his mouth.

>> That's right, but after all, this data is from another world, and we can test it by the standards of this world if we have the opportunity in the future. ”

& Now everyone knows that super-heavy tanks are behind the times, you look at the existence of various anti-tank weapons now, as well as helicopter gunships, which are specially designed to deal with tanks. Another world would design such a big thing? Why is that? After all, Liu Yan was born in a military family, and he didn't know how powerful the annihilator was like Lin Haiguang, but asked about the actual combat significance of the annihilator.

& It makes sense that since the advent of anti-tank weapons such as anti-tank rockets and anti-tank missiles, tanks have ceased to dominate the top of the land weapons for a time. But technology is advancing. You see this Annihilator is so big, but it weighs only one hundred and twenty tons. Or would you say that one hundred and twenty tons is still called light? But at least it is much lighter than the rat type of 188 tons. And it's bigger than a rat. ”

& You've finally made it into battle, against enemies who are about the same as you. You should know its actual combat effectiveness, not to mention that you say that its tactical level is the same as yours. ”

>> Think," Chen Xi scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "The first time I put this thing on the battlefield was in a counterattack of the defense forces on Mars in 2117. At that time, there were 100,000 troops invested in the clones alone, as well as more than 10,000 vehicles of various kinds, 2,000 aerial support of various aircraft, and even 20 destroyers of the space fleet that could provide low-orbit fire cover. The target of the attack is a mechanical city, a city built by robots. Located on a plain on Mars, the mechanical city was transformed by robots from the human city they destroyed, so it can be said that there is no danger to defend. At the time, everyone thought that humanity would win the battle. However, when the main human force advanced to a place less than a hundred kilometers away from this mechanical city, it was ambushed by robots. ”

&Hit? Liu Yan was very surprised, "Will he be ambushed by someone on the plain?" How stupid are the armies of that world? ”

& The generals were also surprised. But the robot succeeded in the ambush after all. They buried themselves in the ground. When the army walked over, it came straight out of the middle of the troops. And the number is 300,000. ”

& What about artillery support? What about air support? ”

& Humans and robots are all mixed together, who do you let planes and starships bomb? Bombing with your own people? An army of 300,000 robots is nothing more than a month's output of a standard production factory for the Machine Alliance. ”

& Humanity is defeated? But you didn't talk about this annihilator, did you? Lin Hai had already been listening to the drooling on the side, but at this time he suddenly opened his mouth.

& Because of the existence of the Annihilators, humanity is only defeated in battle, not defeated, and not completely annihilated. Chen Xi said very seriously, "At that time, there were only a hundred Annihilators on the battlefield, and they were arranged in the rear of the entire army. As the forward forces retreated, the 100 Annihilators rushed forward to form a defensive line and withstood the robot's attack until the robot was repulsed. When the robot was repulsed, there were still thirty-eight of the hundred annihilators, and sixty-two were destroyed, all of which were repeatedly attacked by the robot hundreds of times until the structure of the entire car body was destroyed. And each of them has destroyed at least a hundred giant robots. Chen Xi slapped the tank under his feet heavily, and the armor made a deep sound, as if he was also recalling his ancient past, "The one you used at that time was the kind of tank you saw." ”

& Well, I'll admit, this thing's defenses are really strong, and ordinary firepower is useless against it. But that's because you already have enough air supremacy. Liu Yan sighed, but still didn't give up his question, "And now, we don't have any air supremacy, right?" ”

"Say young people, listen to others and listen to them." Chen Xi pointed to the two metal boxes on both sides of the turret, "This is one of the defense systems of the Annihilator, the Dragon's Tooth omnidirectional missile with a range of 10 kilometers. It can be both anti-aircraft and anti-armor, and can also attack various building facilities, of course, it cannot penetrate its own armor. But everyone basically just uses it for air defense. Because there are only sixteen such missiles in a tank. Although the two seats are quadruple, there is only one set of spare ammunition in battle, which is generally used sparingly. The number of flying robots in the Machine Alliance is large. ”

Then Chen Xi pointed to the two black and thick guns in front of the turret: "This is the main weapon of the Annihilator, two 150 mm cannons." The firing range is six kilometers, and the effective firing range is five kilometers. There isn't much it can't destroy yet. ”

& What does this tank not have a railgun? Liu Yan looked at this pair of cannons, and didn't understand at all, obviously the orbital weapons had been equipped to the infantry level, but such a powerful tank was not equipped with railguns.

> For the time when it first came out, the 150-mm cannon was enough for all the targets of that time. Chen Xi replied, "After all, the cost of this tank is indeed too high, and most of the cost is spent on its armor." ”

>> Not to mention how eye-catching this tank would be on the modern battlefield," Liu Yan didn't know what to do with this big guy, "at least it's very attractive to firepower." ”

&His, as long as it works! That's it. Lin Hai didn't know when he had gotten into the car, and then a head popped up and said.
