Setting (3)
Motorized Infantry:
1. Super Siren Lite: (Super-Hi-Siren/SE)
A replica of the machine was created based on the prototype data of the Super Kraken's testing machine, and then copied from the existing Super Kraken standard model, and finally obtained a condensed version.
The original system used is still Alph02, and the Egma coordination system is also the second generation, which means that this aircraft has the hardware configuration of this third-generation motorized infantry, but the control system is very backward.
After being upgraded, its combat power has been greatly improved, and the initial evaluation of the performance of this "magic change" is only 1/2 of the original at most, but I didn't expect Su Zhan to give full play to the performance of this body, so that its real effectiveness can not get accurate relative data.
The disadvantage is that the horizontal mobility in fighter mode is insufficient, and the vertical mobility in motorized infantry mode is insufficient, which forces the pilot to respond flexibly.
The power source is high-calorific fuel with dual propulsion nozzles that can switch directions at 180°, the avionics system is supported by high-reserve capacitors, and the mechanical movements carried out by the airframe are powered by electrical energy generated by high-efficiency chemical cells.
Compared with the active Super Kraken, you can have more choices in terms of armament, and you can carry out various plug-in equipment without worry.
The fuselage was piloted by Su Zhan for more than a month, and was later shot down in a deathmatch with the "MSV008 Navigator" motorized infantry, but the "Navigator" was also heavily damaged.
Ordered by Scanos, the Supreme Commander of the Timm Industries, Gero piloted the Super Kraken Scout (suffix number: V) for 6 hours and finally succeeded in finding the dilapidated Super Kraken. SE, however, after checking, fortunately the combat data is still intact.
After ordering Geralt to have no time to find the pilot's whereabouts, and after urgently retrieving the data stored in the air, he took to the air to control the reconnaissance-type super Kraken and destroyed the crippled body in the desert with the only cannon fire.
2. About the Super Kraken's series numbering:
Divided into reconnaissance type, assault type, and standard type, the factory to which Timm Industries belongs has produced a total of nearly 120 third-generation motorized infantry of this series.
Among them, the standard type (suffix number: LS) is the largest number of production, reaching as many as 70 aircraft, because it is the world's first multi-purpose special attack type of third-generation motorized infantry, the versatility makes it fully capable of handling most tasks, and many other models can do what it can do, so it is favored by various bases.
As for the Assault (suffix number: SD), it is actually just a derivative enhancement of the Super Kraken Standard, and the enhancements are in terms of power and mobility, as well as increased armament, and a fire control drive system has been added to the standard type.
It allows it to lock on to multiple targets at the same time, and has the ability to process more data, theoretically able to fight more than three standard super krakens in one machine.
At the beginning of the design, the R&D personnel according to the blind pursuit of the upper staff, that is, the so-called high mobility, high output and high firepower, the original R&D personnel did not intend to do it seriously, because it was unrealistic, but halfway through, a chance opportunity made it possible.
All of this is also due to a paper published by researchers at East Asia CARN, Haidt, on the efficient use of FT particles.
The title alone of a theoretical paper gave the developers the idea to increase the efficiency of the original second-generation particle compression thruster using FT particles from 45% to 60%.
This also results in an astonishingly high output, which frees him from the shortcomings of the initial output of the second-generation particle compression thruster and the long time to reach the maximum output.
Therefore, the Super Kraken Assault is also the world's first airframe equipped with the third-generation particle compression thruster, which also has a far-reaching impact on the new development, modification or improvement of the subsequent motorized infantry.
High power and high maneuverability have been solved, and the high firepower is by adding a nuclear reactor, so that the additional one alone provides the electrical output, which allows the Raider to squander the electrical energy more unscrupulously.
Compared to the Standard and Assault models, the Recon (suffix number: VP) was introduced a little later, starting a year after the birth of the Super Siren Standard, and it was not until February 2151 that the test and production were actually completed, and the first batch was only 4 mechs.
Timm Industries asked for one, and the remaining three were sent to three more important bases.
It is also the world's second multi-purpose tactical support third-generation motorized infantry, with a theoretical ceiling of 5-60,000 meters.
The power source is the twin particle compression thruster, and the system drive power comes from the new nuclear reactor power supply, and the standard nuclear power mixing system is upgraded to a more perfect configuration.
In addition, in order to achieve high speed as soon as possible, it is necessary to equip a mounted fuel thruster to achieve this, and the E carbon sp04 armor of the whole aircraft does not cover the whole body, which also leads to a significant reduction in the mass of the aircraft, but the mobility of the body is improved.
As a reconnaissance type, it cannot be equipped with too many built-in equipment, such as E-carbon alloy sword and shield and multi-purpose rifle, etc., and can only be attached to two external hardpoints in special cases.
In general, the external attachment points are equipped with additional thrusters and long-range monitors, and at the beginning of the design of reconnaissance use, E carbon alloy armor was not selected to cover the whole aircraft, only covering the cockpit and near the thrusters, and most of the rest were made of lightweight materials, such as high-purity titanium APH and optical-like stealth films.
Therefore, the Super Kraken Reconnaissance is actually a modification based on the original for special needs, and it is best used as a support cover wingman for other assault motorized infantry, and it can also take on a variety of tasks such as intelligence transfer.
Advanced avionics, operations and other systems, as well as high-level damage control modules, also make it more expensive, and these internal components and drive systems account for 1/3 of the total price.
The price of one Recon is equivalent to three standard models, and it can be described as an important and expensive mech, and according to Scanos's words of appreciation, it is the Eagle Eye that monitors the situation on the battlefield.
3. "Calamity X" Mobile Fortress
The steel monster manufactured by the Sigorid Arms Company is also a behemoth of secret production, and every component is secretly produced, and the assembly and maintenance work that lasts for the next ten years is covered with optical invisible film materials.
When the HS700's high-altitude monitor took a photo, the pilot was immediately frightened, it was a slow-moving steel giant, or an aircraft carrier walking on land.
The four airport runways correspond to four directions, and can also be rotated, each runway can take off four driving aircraft at the same time, and the command and control center in the middle is also seventy or eighty meters high.
Even the R&D personnel of Timm Industry had to sigh at how the Sigorid Arms Company did it, using dozens of pairs of huge load-bearing wheels made of composite materials such as E carbon, as well as 8 large rocket thrusters to increase the speed of movement.
The surface is almost entirely made of E-carbon sp04 armor, as well as all-round radar irradiation and advanced optical monitors, etc., and there is also a problem with the "split-light fixed shield", which can deploy this kind of anti-directional energy and other weapons at 360 degrees.
In order to support the huge power consumption, there are 8 new nuclear reactors inside to provide energy.
The Calamity X can carry up to 192 third-generation motorized infantry, with 160 aircraft in general and the rest of the space for other driving flying objects.
The maximum number of combatants, including assault or hand-to-hand combat, is 7,200, and 5,100 is usually enough for most situations.
It was its existence that, after the Nordic military alliance officially took over, was directly tested by the military with live ammunition, allowing the 4 * destroyers of the Mediterranean Fleet to launch a full bomb once, and a total of 128 missiles locked onto the "Calamity X", and all of them were intercepted.
This test shocked the NMA military, so they called it an "absolute barrier", and even after it was announced that it existed, it was claimed that only a nuclear bomb could destroy their "Aegis".
But the more troublesome thing is not only here, but this thing can also go to the sea, but it takes a long time to switch jobs, but as long as you get into the water early, no one can stop it.
The Philippoulos Navy estimated that the "Calamity X" was capable of fighting a full fleet alone, which also attracted enough attention from the Philippoulos military.
Of course, after it was made public to the world, the military of various countries was shocked, they had never seen the existence of such a thing, and the NMA was criticized by the whole world, but the accusation alone had no effect, and even Fipoulos gradually chose to remain silent.
The ROEA (East Asian People's Republic), which is known for its "iron-blooded military and political", is very unhappy, they have always thought that the existential threat opponents are BANG and TPP, but they did not expect the sudden emergence of an NMA that has hidden armaments for many years, which greatly annoys the East Asian military.
Obviously, in addition to NMA, countries around the world are also preparing to start researching this steel monster, but ROEA has no experience in developing large-scale drive equipment, and BANG has mastered more related technologies, but many design blueprints have failed after comprehensive consideration.
Naturally, Phipoulos would not allow the NMA to have such a thing, they have the world's top experts in various fields, and after various discussions, they gave up building this kind of thing on the same level as "Calamity X", and turned to develop a long-term high-altitude cruise drive equipment platform, and the theoretical idea is supported by particle compression propulsion devices, and they intend to further explore the potential of FT particles.
Compared with the abandonment of the same level of "hard steel" in BANG and TPP, the People's Republic of East Asia has restarted the "MSV" project that has been sealed in the past and has been sealed in the past, that is, it has decided to create a mass-produced motorized infantry of the MSV series.
However, the NMA is not sitting on the back of waiting for other countries to target their "Calamity X", and it is constantly giving priority to the latest weapons and equipment here, and regularly maintaining mobile and optical invisibility.
Since Calamity X theoretically threatens nuclear weapons at present, the NMA is also focusing on interception weapons.
It ended due to a nuclear explosion, as for the specific reason, please refer to the main story.
4. About optical stealth systems and optical stealth films
What they all have in common is to achieve visual invisibility, the difference is in the length of time, energy supply, materials, etc.
The optical stealth system (LCS) can only be stealth for a short time, generally no more than 30 seconds, and will consume a lot of electricity, and generate more heat, so this system is actually of little practical significance, especially in the process of white-knuckle combat, unless the enemy detection equipment is paralyzed, otherwise it will be found by the thermal sensor, and what is more embarrassing is that this system has a gradient transition time of about 1.5 seconds whether it enters the stealth or disengages the stealth, which is easy to capture the trajectory.
Optical stealth film (LCc) can be in a stealth state for a long time, generally used for body standby, through the release of special film materials, only need to be through a small amount of current to theoretically operate for up to half a month.
However, this thing is generally disposable, the film will fall off after being used once, of course, some bodies can also be released many times, but the effect will be worse and worse, the disadvantage of this film is that the reuse rate is low, but there are many advantages, such as reducing thermal radiation and radar irradiation wave reflection, or an excellent thermoelectric conductor.
