Chapter 52: Modified Vehicles
The land chariot that Loren has at the moment is an ordinary C-type chariot.
Land vehicles are classified from low to high, C, B, A, and S, and the C-type is made entirely of sub-high-grade metal. In other words, it is not as good as the high-grade metal that Loren currently has.
And Loren's current idea is to use the high-grade metal he has smelted to make the most basic modification of this land chariot. Of course, if conditions allow, he will use super metal.
However, at present, there are very few super metals refined by Luo Lun, and they cannot meet the conditions for mass production. Only high-grade metals have been mass-produced in small quantities through assembly lines under the strict organization of Loren.
The reason for the restriction on the mass production of high-grade metals is simple, it is still due to the shortage of raw materials.
Even though there are many base metals, the amount of ore that needs to be smelted is limited, and the ore around the enrichment field alone cannot be satisfied. Loren is currently considering whether to start buying the ore he needs.
Money is not an issue, but he needs to have a reasonable excuse before buying. Last week, Loren went to visit an abandoned warehouse in Yida 3, not far from the Academy.
In the name of an ore processing factory, he planned to store all the ore he had purchased here in disguise, and then unknowingly transfer it to the alchemist's hut through the spatial ring. Finally, mass production is carried out through the furnace assembly line.
In fact, the basic condition for building a space fortress is that the proportion of high-grade metals must reach more than 80%. The reason why Loren produces high-grade metals through the furnace assembly line is that he hides his selfishness of wanting to hoard high-grade metals.
In case one day he can build a Battlestar on his own, these high-grade metals are the most basic raw materials.
He just wants to work hard to realize this dream at the moment, but he doesn't dare to force it too much, as long as he accumulates little by little, Luo Lun feels that he is getting closer to his dream, which is the basis for motivating him to continue to improve his strength.
The basic structure of the land chariot was specifically described in the professional course. Later, Walkman's tutor also specially gave Loren a special tutorial on this content.
It can be said that Luo Lun is very clear about the structure of the land tank, he has the attitude of reviewing, spent half a day to disassemble the land tank exterior protection, and spent half a day to study the internal layout on the spot, and after knowing it, he began to transform it the next day.
Pieces of high-grade metal were kneaded by Loren with his bare hands to fit the size of the vehicle's structure, and then the exterior protection was reset little by little, but all of them were made of high-grade metal punk metal.
Punk metal is a relatively hard high-grade metal, and Loren really can't think of a better defense for the exterior of a vehicle.
The moving part of the chariot is made of high-grade metal with strong softness, and if the joints do not fit, he will take them off again and knead them again, which is equivalent to repeating the skill of deformation with his bare hands.
It didn't take long for the vehicle's exterior protection and interior settings to be replaced. The control system of this vehicle is actually intact, but the kinetic energy element is somewhat short-circuited, and its radar part and tracks can be used intact.
The only area of extensive damage was the howitzer, which was the vehicle's main means of attack - the howitzer was completely scrapped, which was the main reason for the vehicle to be disposed of.
However, if it weren't for Shawner's means, even this scrapped chariot would not have reached Loren's hands.
There are generally two types of firing of combat vehicles, one is a light attack armor-piercing projectile, and the other is a heavy attack howitzer. In addition to this, there is radar exploration with a range of 10 km, as well as kinetic magnetic interference.
Of course, compared to tanks, combat vehicles are fast and agile, can walk five to ten times faster than tanks, and can make sharp turns at high speeds with sufficient balance.
At present, there is no ammunition in the tank, so Loren adjusted the smelting equipment, temporarily refining a bullet with a lethal effect comparable to armor-piercing bullets from sub-high-grade metal, and in order to increase the rate of fire and the impact force, he added rotating threads to the surface of each bullet based on experience.
For alchemists, gunpowder is an excellent raw material for refining, so in Luo Ren's opinion, it is not too difficult to make bullets. All he lacked was a familiar process.
This can't help but remind Loren of the large-scale use of Gaussian-modified silver particle weapons on the virtual battlefield. Of course, that was virtual, with sufficient raw materials and Gaussian blessings, otherwise it would not have been possible to burst out with the perfect lethality and critical strike range at that time.
As for the howitzer attack device on the combat vehicle, which could not be repaired because of damage, Loren had no choice but to modify what was left to use. And by fusing the spraying method of the screen projectile, this part of the attack barrel is made into a honeycomb structure.
The bullet is a refined silver ingot, and every time it needs to be activated, it must be controlled by Loren's own strength, and at the same time use flash and magic energy. So it is conceivable that although this attack method is very powerful, it cannot be repeated many times, which has a lot to do with the amount of magic energy accumulated in Luo Lun's body.
This is the maximum degree of modification that Loren can do so far, and in order to make the tank look more beautiful, he also polished and brightened the surface of the vehicle, and from the outside it looks like the whole tank has been completely renewed.
The vehicle's kinetic energy system also retains a small half of the kinetic energy, which can currently provide a range of no less than 1,000 kilometers. Of course, this is on the basis of simply walking without any other consumption.
In two days, Loren felt that he was able to transform an original C-type tank into this way, and he felt that as long as he was familiar with it, the future modification work could be completed faster.
Originally, in the virtual battlefield, Loren had some experience with the temporary construction of a fortress, so when the modification was almost complete, he started to think carefully about the engine modification of this vehicle, and quickly took action.
Early in the morning of the third day, Luo Lun, who had not slept all the time, went to the public class with two panda eyes.
And it was on this day that he finally met the man who had been looking for him without success.
In fact, before Fanny appeared in front of her, Loren was already aware of it, because of the very good smell.
"Whew, I've finally found you!" Fanny stood in front of Loren's desk with an indifferent expression, and her tone was also very flat, which made people wonder if this was her original appearance, and the panic that day was just an abnormal reaction after escaping death.
Before Loren could speak, Fanny said, "My classmates have been saying that I am elusive and have not seen anyone for three days, and I am glad that they have not met you." ”
Loren smiled and said, "Everyone is each other, my name is Loren, and it's nice to see you again." ”
As he spoke, Loren stood up and reached out.
Fanny stretched out her hand and shook him gently, and said, "I already know who you are, the second-ranked student on the construction side of the last promotion, second only to Charles, and the heir of the Mudin family. ”
Luo Lun touched his head: "Actually, except for being handsome and extremely low-key, I don't have so many advantages." ”
"Oh, I don't see it." Regardless of the stiffness of Luo Lun's expression at this time, Fanny said seriously: "I want to invite you to do something, not only to thank you for saving me last time, but also to really need your level of construction side students to come out." ”
"What's the matter?" Loren looked curious.
