Chapter 343: Samurai of the Round Table
The encounter ended in defeat, with seven of the ten chariots brought out by Chu Jungui destroyed, while the Federation Army paid a terrible price of 21 chariots and 2 heavy mechs.
The main reason for this is that Chu Jungui did not play, and the test subject's chariot broke down after only three results.
However, most of the test subjects were destroyed without being injured, and all the crew members escaped, and then were picked up by the receiving vehicle. In the end, the casualties were in the single digits, while the Union Army paid hundreds of casualties.
Two hours later, dozens of reinforcement chariots arrived at the battlefield, and by this time Chu Jungui had already returned to the base. William jumped out of the mech, scrutinizing the wreckage of the destroyed vehicle. After reading it, he shook his head helplessly: "It's really shoddy." ”
Still, he called the technical officer and said, "Drag all the wreckage back and draw the design backwards." ”
The technical officer muttered quietly, "Do you still need to research?"
Chu Jungui's chariot has no technical content at all, and the hull armor is a layer of alloy plates and a layer of composite materials, but a total of eighteen layers are placed. The assembly of the car body is simple and rough welding, and basically several layers of steel plates will be dropped after one shot. However, there were too many layers of steel plates piled up by Chu Jun, so it would take several shots to be destroyed. As for miniature missiles, at most blow up one or two layers of steel plates.
Faced with the technical officer's complaint, William kicked a cannonball on the ground and said, "Who said there is nothing to study? ”
The technical officer was even more polite, "With such a large caliber and such a muzzle velocity, I think it would be good if the power of gunpowder could be half of that of our current product." Is it necessary to study something so backward?"
William's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "I know that you are Gambo's brother-in-law, but this relationship is not enough for you to be called noble, let alone change your charge of questioning the commander on the front line." Are you planning to disobey?"
The technical officer's face changed, he took a step back, and said, "Of course you don't dare, respected General William." ”
He turned around and yelled, "Boys, work harder, put away all this pile of junk on the ground, and take it back to study it!"
William did not have a seizure, after all, none of these warriors belonged to the Lancer Corps, and his binding power was limited. He looked up into the distance, his eyebrows slightly locked. He was a little puzzled, why with superior troops and far superior technical standards, would fight a bunch of shoddy and hardly industrially designed combat vehicles.
Could it be that the opponent was just very lucky in this battle and the artillery shot was exceptionally accurate?
In the Doomsday Shadow Fortress, Chu Jungui held a freshly baked biochip and said to Roland beside him: "Look, this is our luck. ”
"yes!" Roland agreed, "it's a miracle that the chips can still be used in this hellish place." ”
Chu Jungui put the chip in Roland's hand and said: "The performance of the soldiers today is very good, but there are still many problems with our tank, and I need to modify the design." ”
"The caliber of the cannon can be smaller, even if it is only 200mm, it is enough to penetrate the opponent's armor. ”
"I'll think about it. ”
Returning to his room, Chu Jungui set out to design a new generation of chariots. In this design, the tank gun was quite a failure, and its reliability was impressively low. The reason has been found, that is, the existing heavy alloys are not strong enough, and the created tank guns cannot withstand the vibrations caused by excessive calibers. However, updating basic materials is not something that can be solved in a day or two, and there is no good way to do it for agent chips, unless you can get a supply of rare metals or find a new local resource.
Chu Jungui had to readjust the design and once again use the scheme of making warheads from the spiny-backed beast's spines. In this way, the caliber of the tank gun can be reduced to 120mm, and the disadvantage is that only large enough spines can be used to create a warhead. There are only a few thousand of these spines in stock.
As for other aspects, there is no need to make a big move for the time being, as long as the details are modified. The vehicle is battery-powered, which can be used to increase the instantaneous power, and has excellent acceleration and top speed, as well as dragging heavy hulls. Chu Jungui completely treats the tank as a disposable tool, so the use of batteries can fundamentally reduce costs.
The most technical aspects of the vehicle are the driving assistance and shooting control units made of biochips. In this old-fashioned armoured battle vehicle duel, where one side has a fire control computer and the other does not, the results can be very different.
When abandoning the vehicle, the vehicle crew should take the fire control unit away or blow it up directly to avoid leaving samples for the Federation.
With ideas, specific design tasks can be thrown to the chip. The agent chip is easy to use, but like other artificial intelligence, it lacks a big picture and needs someone to point out the direction.
When the chip completed the task, Chu Jungui took the time to look through the information. At this moment, he is facing the Knights of the Round Table Legion, and it is not clear which corps is below. The Knights of the Round Table claim to have 13 legions and are one of the more famous legions in the Federation.
At this moment, the lights in the room suddenly turned red, and the stiff electronic synthesized sound sounded along with the cheerful music: "The beast tide appears! Repeat, the beast tide appears!"
Chu Jungui sighed, stood up, and rushed out of the room.
After waiting for so long, the beast tide finally came.
A true B-rank beast tide, a pretty beneficial addition to the current Shadow of Doom Fortress. As soon as the battle was over, the warriors swarmed out and carried the corpses of the beasts back to the fortress, piled up like hills. The decomposer has to work around the clock to finish the material.
As soon as all the corpses of the war beasts were transported into the fortress, Chu Jungui set off with the mobile detachment that had been completed soon. This time, the mobile detachment consisted of 15 vehicles, which were still ugly cubes, and the number of armor layers was increased from 18 to 22. The original two thick barrels were replaced by four much thinner barrels, but in fact, due to the use of spike warheads, the armor-piercing ability was not much weaker, but because the main gun was changed from two to four, the firepower was increased.
This armed search unsurprisingly ran into the mobile guard patrol detachment of the Knights of the Round Table. The number of vehicles in the Round Table Warrior Patrol was increased from 30 to 40, and the number of heavy mechs was increased to 10, but the battle ended in a draw.
Chu Jungui destroyed 30 tanks and 4 heavy mechs of the opponent in one fell swoop on the premise of paying 9 tanks, and then hastily cleaned up the battlefield, recovered ammunition, chips, and some core parts of the federal army, and then calmly retreated.
The test subject's tank cannon was finally hit from beginning to end.
Chu Jungui's battle result statistics are not just a comparison of battle losses, but have been converted into currency. The cost of his new tank is roughly 200,000 units, which is probably not as expensive as the opponent's high-end shells. The price of a single federal main battle vehicle is 2 million, and the heavy mecha is 5 million, which is the result of a significant reduction. Therefore, the real comparison of the results of this battle is 4 million versus 96 million, and the difference is the consumption of ammunition.
That's right, the ammunition fired by the test subject is more expensive than that of the tank.
