Chapter 316: Not Enough Penetration? Then use the equivalent to make up!

"Mom! These bandits are running so fast! ”

Pulling the bayonet from the corpse of the marauder, he stood on the trench with a wide eye and glanced down the slope ahead.

Halfway up the hill below the heights, dozens of corpses lay crookedly, as well as rifles and shovels thrown by fleeing marauders.

This is the high ground on the north side of Songlinyu, and it is also the position of the Beartooth Thousand People.

Just ten minutes earlier, the Corps of Death, as usual, fired a round of mortars at the marauders who were hiding here digging holes.

Harassed by the mortars of the new coalition all day, the marauders who hid on the high ground had long been accustomed to it, and they calmly lay down in the half-dug trenches, waiting for the shelling to stop before continuing to dig up.

However, what they didn't expect was that this time they raised their heads and faced a bright bayonet.

Those marauders digging fortifications never dreamed that the New Alliance would dare to rush back to their positions with such a person!

What they didn't expect was that as soon as the mortar on the opposite side stopped, these people followed closely and killed them.

In short, by the time they came to their senses, it was too late.

The whistle of the charge and the shouts of killing, almost stepping on the still smoking crater, rushed into their faces.

And at this time, many of the marauders even had shovels in their hands, and the rifles thrown on the ground were not even loaded.

The construction site boy and the brick jumped into the trench first, and the automatic rifle in his hand suddenly strafed, instantly setting off a bloody storm in the narrow tunnel.

The marauders who were sent to dig the pit were themselves the third-line combat force in the tribe.

Although they also follow Beartooth from the north of the river valley province to the south, they usually chase others to fight

Where have I ever seen such a fierce style of play!

Especially when he saw that the centurion, who was an awakened person, was stabbed into a sieve on the spot by several bayonets, the remaining two hundred or so people's morale collapsed instantly, and they couldn't muster the courage to resist at all.

In less than ten minutes, the battle was over.

Kakarot glanced north with his binoculars, where the marauders' rout had escaped into the woods north of the highlands.

“…… Reinforcements are expected to come in a while, and judging by the intelligence from the air force, it seems that they are stationed in a mountain col about five kilometers to the north. ”

Debt-ridden eyes said with a smile.

"Do they still have a thousand of them?"

"I don't know, these marauders are strangely organized, a team of ten people may be twenty people, and a team of a thousand people may not be exactly a thousand people."

The construction site boy and the brick looked to the edge of the side and paddled the water.

"Commander, what do you say?"

Edge paddling said with a smile.

"What else do you need to say? Plant explosives! ”

"Didn't the brethren of the Burning Corps say that they will lift all the pits of these beasts! We must not fail the high hopes of our allies. ”

At this point, he suddenly remembered something, and then added another sentence later.

"By the way, bring back the rifles, shovels, earthmoving carts, and sacks they threw down, and we'll confiscate them!"

Hearing this, everyone's faces invariably showed evil smiles.

"Okay!"

Buried in the marauders' trenches, the Fringe Brothers quickly withdrew to the southern hill with their men before enemy reinforcements arrived, and without a word they got into the anti-artillery holes.

After waiting for a full hour, the artillery on the opposite side arrived belatedly and washed several rounds of 100mm guns towards their positions.

By the time the shells landed on the players' positions, the other players were already lying down and offline, except for a few who were still on the line.

Even dinner was eaten in reality.

The marauders, who had abandoned their positions and fled, regained their heights under the auspices of the cannon fire and the threat of the bear's fangs.

However, to their dumbfoundedness, the New Alliance men not only picked up the weapons and ammunition they had left behind, but also shovels, carts, and even bags for dirt.

The whole position was bare, and even the corpses were dragged together and poured fuel and burned, so that there was not a single hair left for them.

Who the hell is the predator?!

Lacking tools, they had to wait for supplies to arrive from behind, and then dig on the spot, or dig by hand.

And when the marauders returned to the trenches, with a series of explosions, their nightmare really began......

……

North of Dawn City.

Inside the weapons test site.

A scrapped Conqueror X tank, now parked in the middle of the clearing.

The twisted steel had been deformed, there were only three pairs of load-bearing wheels left, and the chassis had been cut through a gap, and the whole body was blackened.

Previously, the Black Snake Thousand People Team drove this tank to the northern suburbs to fight the autumn wind, and the ammunition rack and fuel tank were blown up on the spot by the "reptile" quadruped robot carrying the bomb.

After that, the tank was dragged into the industrial area and repeatedly dismantled and studied, and after squeezing out the last bit of value, it was thrown to the weapons test site as a target.

At this moment, Chu Guang was standing at the edge of the shooting range with Vanus, reviewing the newly developed anti-armor weapon of Goblin Technology.

According to war reports from the front, the Marauders have begun to learn wisely and are pondering the conversion of light trucks into anti-aircraft trucks.

Although with the cooperation of the Burning Corps, the air force of the Goblin Corps had already given away the Marauders' factories, Chu Guang didn't think that they would put all their eggs in one basket.

Those marauders will definitely be more careful in the future.

Or even simply move the plant from the surface to the underground.

The Marauders had apparently realized that without reliable anti-aircraft weapons, their tanks would be used as live targets on the front lines.

And without the protection of armored units, they must pay exponentially the casualties to retake Bluestone County from the hands of the New Alliance.

Before the Tooth Clan's tanks can go to the front, the new alliance needs more and more effective anti-armor means to deal with the rapidly changing battlefield.

"Gear One begins testing."

"Roger!"

Hearing the administrator's order, the mosquito waved his hand, and the player whose ID was called God Killer immediately trotted to the edge of the range.

Half-crouched behind the shooting bunker made of sandbags, the god of killing skillfully took out the recoilless barrel placed in the box, and unfolded the folding bracket to complete the erection.

Reload, aim, open the safe......

The whole set of actions is smooth and done in one go.

With a bang, thick smoke and armor-piercing shells rushed out of the launch tube, dragging a column of smoke towards the tank a hundred meters away.

The moment the missile hit, the left side of the tank's armor exploded with sparks and smoke.

"The hit works!"

Seeing this, the chasing soul who was waiting on the side first shouted, then immediately ran forward to check, and then shouted excitedly.

"Wear! Pierced! ”

Other life professional players who were standing on the sidelines couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"Awesome!!"

“666!”

"This Nima is too tortured!"

Many of these players are newcomers who only came in the beta version, because the "skill of a skill" was recruited into Goblin Technology by Brother Mosquito.

I've been listening to mosquitoes bragging on forums before, but now I've finally seen it with my own eyes.

Of course, there are also big-handed players who disagree.

"What's there to brag about blowing up a scrap?"

"This tank looks like a T72."

"It's an exaggeration, at most it's at the peak level of World War II, I haven't even seen the reactive armor, and the RPG will penetrate it in minutes."

", Tiger has this defense? That's obviously composite armor, okay! ”

Two young players quarrel over the performance of the tank.

But this is just a small episode.

Chu Guang, who was standing on the side, looked at the wreckage of the Conqueror Ten not far away, with a satisfied smile on his face.

It's just that because of his majestic personality, he doesn't smile very obviously when there are many people.

There was only one person in the entire shooting range with a heavy expression.

That's Vanus.

Once a commander of the Legion, he knew better than anyone the true strength of the Conqueror X tank.

I saw him shake his head and splash a basin of cold water.

"It's useless."

"This is the twelfth experiment."

"Even if you wear it, it doesn't mean anything."

I couldn't understand what those people were shouting, but I didn't need to understand the elated expressions at all. He could guess with his toes what those people were happy about.

A tank that has been scrapped.

It took a full twelve rounds to wear it, and it was still worn with side armor.

As long as the infantry and vehicle-mounted machine guns around the tank are not furnished, it is simply impossible to have so many opportunities to fire on the battlefield.

Mosquitoes are apparently aware of the problem as well.

After the excitement had passed, he scratched his head in bewilderment.

"It's not scientific......"

"This armor is too resistant to beating!"

Benchmarking T72?

The T72 isn't that hard.

Before the improved model came out, the side armor was 80mm.

Not to mention the fact that they used armor-piercing shells with hollow charges.

There is no N cover on the side, explosion reverse, grille, not to mention Lao Maozi's T72, even M1, Leopard II have to be cowardly. Especially the ammunition rack of the leopard two is placed in the body of the car, and if you wear a pencil-sized eye in the left front, your head will be blown up if you are unlucky.

In order to improve the armor-piercing ability, the Mosquito even sacrificed the effective range, increasing the weight of the warhead warhead III by a full 1.5 times while maintaining the same propellant.

At present, this model is named by him as a tandem armor-piercing projectile, although the range is quite impressive, only 150m, but the maximum penetration depth on the vertical plane has reached an astonishing 400mm!

The side armor of this Conqueror 10 tank is not so thick no matter how you look at it, and there is no reactive armor on the outside.

The mosquito thought about it, but only thought of two possibilities.

It's a bug!

It's definitely not your own problem anyway!

Listening to the mosquito's muttering, Chu Guang relayed his confusion to Vanus, who was standing next to him.

And the latter, after listening to the mosquito's confusion, gave a very concise answer.

“…… The Legion's main tank is the Conqueror 5 light tank, which is not very well armored against normal mutant creatures or survivor settlements. The Conqueror 10 heavy tank was designed with the Rift Valley and Corporations as imaginary enemies. ”

"Composite armor, positive pressure three-defense system, low dependence on electronic components, long-lasting combat performance...... These are the key points in the design. ”

"The armor in particular, the shell armor of the Conqueror X, has a sandwich of special ceramics and fibers between two layers of homogeneous steel, and the surface of this sandwich is protected by a lightweight, high-temperature, porous material. In general, the metal jet of the armor-piercing projectile will spread along the surface of the interlayer in the second layer after penetrating the first layer of homogeneous steel, resulting in the jet rapidly losing focus. ”

"There is no point in simply talking about the thickness of the armor, the metal jet of the armor-piercing shell simply cannot break the second layer. If it's the original Undamaged Conqueror X, you may not be able to use ten rounds of armor-piercing bullets. It's better to go directly to the hard core to pierce the armor, maybe it's easier to wear a little. ”

As we all know, once the metal jet is out of focus, it is like a water gun with a shower on the muzzle, and the armor-piercing ability is directly zeroed.

Crushing the opponent with sufficient numbers and relatively cheap costs is the consistent strategic thinking of the legion. The purpose of the Conqueror's 10 tank is not to surpass the armor of the Great Rift in terms of performance, but to increase the cost of destruction for the opponent.

If any infantryman carrying a recoilless gun and firing a black gun can destroy the tank, the armor flood will be meaningless.

The ability to break through at the twelfth shot was largely due to the fact that the tank had been placed here as a target wheel countless times.

The metal jet of the armor-piercing bullet fills the "diversion gap" on the surface of the interlayer!

Chu Guang was not discouraged by Vanus's answer, but just smiled faintly.

"It's okay, you can't deal with Conqueror Ten, and it's okay to bully light and medium vehicles. What's more, the way of armor-piercing bullets doesn't work, and we have other ways. ”

Vanus asked curiously.

"Oh? Like what? ”

Chu Guang looked at the mosquito.

"Let's start testing Gear Two."

Seeing the manager talking to himself, the mosquito nodded quickly.

"Okay!"

The customer was understandably dissatisfied with the power of the No. 1 equipment, and he himself was not very satisfied with the power of the thing.

But it doesn't matter.

He devised two solutions for Conqueror X, one of which was the use of tandem armor-piercing shells with greater penetration.

If you can't wear it, fry it!

The wreckage of the tank at the shooting range could no longer withstand the second toss, and the mosquito took Chu Guang and Vanus to the test site of the No. 2 weapon.

On the bare earth, there is a reinforced concrete fortification, which imitates the shape of a tank, and simulates the structure of the car body and load wheels.

Vanus didn't say anything when he saw it.

However, when his eyes fell on the aluminum alloy bracket behind the shooting bunker and the six-rotor drone on the bracket, the whole person was stunned.

"It's ......"

Before Chu Guang could speak, the mosquito standing on the side had already introduced it with a fluttering eyebrow.

"This is the second piece of equipment that our Goblin Tech has built for the Conquest Tank - the 'Switchblade' suicide drone! Of course, I'd rather call it a 'flying anti-everything IED'! ”

Vanus looked dazed.

Even after watching the simultaneous translation on the VM, he didn't understand what this guy was saying.

But the mosquitoes themselves weren't meant to be told to him.

There is only one person who really has the right to make a decision and place an order to buy arms, and that is the manager standing next to him.

He just needs to lick this one comfortably!

“…… Six-rotor structure, which ensures maneuverability! Powered by a solid-state hydrogen battery, it ensures battery life! Due to the aerodynamic design of the case, it is able to fold the rotor after locking on to the target, doing unpowered gliding! We have improved the motor output of the drone, and its maximum load capacity is even capable of reaching 15 kg! ”

"15 kg load! Hehe, if all of them are used to carry mixed explosives, its explosive power is even comparable to that of two tandem 155mm! ”

"We designed two types of warheads for the switchblade, which can be mounted on top of the drone's head or hung underneath the drone to dive to the top. Thanks to the foldable rotors, our switchblades can be catapulted or airdropped in addition to flat take-off and landing. ”

"To sum up, this thing can be both anti-armor and anti-infantry, very easy to use!"

The whole drone is roughly equivalent to an enlarged version of the Y-1 Firefly, the motor is produced by the Liszt factory, the carbon nano design is completed by the scientific research team, and the control program is Xiaoqi's masterpiece.

As for what Goblin Technology has completed, it is mainly the aerodynamic design and the warhead design.

Compared with the portable drone that can be stuffed in a backpack, the shape of this "switchblade" is more like a common plant protection drone in the agricultural field.

After finally reading the translation on the VM, Vanus looked at Chu Guang with a strange expression.

"So...... This thing is the equivalent of a drone with a remote-controlled bomb strapped to it? ”

Chu Guang was quite satisfied with the shape of this thing, and said with a smile.

"Can't you?"

Vanus was silent for a moment, then gave an uncertain answer.

"It's not impossible, it's just that the conditions are extremely harsh."

"How harsh?"

Vanus replied cautiously.

"It is only under certain circumstances that the kinetic energy of explosives can be concentrated on the surface of the armor. If only the bomb was thrown on it...... Ten kilograms of warheads, I'm afraid, are not enough to see. ”

Generally, the shock wave of explosives is spread in all directions, and in order to achieve the effect of armor piercing, it is necessary to transmit the kinetic energy generated by the explosion to the armor surface as much as possible.

And the contact surface needs to be as small as possible.

If you just throw the bomb on it, ten kilograms of explosives will probably scrape off a little paint, unless it is a monster with a speed of 24,000 like metallic hydrogen.

As for the "solid hydrogen" produced by the new alliance itself?

The power is far from it.

Chu Guang didn't care about Vanus's suspicions, but just smiled happily.

“…… So as long as certain conditions are met, a ten-kilogram warhead can also paralyze Conqueror Ten, right? ”

Vanus nodded.

"The only weakness of the Conqueror X is in the chassis, where the hull armor is weakest. But you can't expect to be so lucky every time you can break the track while the infantry around you are not paying attention, and stuff the explosives under the chassis to detonate. ”

Chu Guang didn't speak, but waved his hand, signaling that the mosquitoes could start.

Seeing the manager's movements, the mosquito immediately trotted excitedly to the side of the launcher, driving away the killing god who was about to operate for him.

With this opportunity to show himself in front of the faction leader NPC, how could he let others come?

"Let's get up, let me come!"

The Killing God was suddenly unhappy.

"Damn! Didn't you say I'd test it? ”

The mosquito continued without blushing.

"I said that you would test the armor-piercing bullet, not that you should test the switchblade. Listen to my brother, this equipment is difficult to operate, I'm afraid you won't be able to control it, so let me come! ”

“@#%¥!”

This is not a fixed wing, there is a ghost operation difficulty!

The Killer God scolded and walked away.

Drove away the little brother standing next to the launch rack, and the mosquito directly connected the drone with the VM and synchronized the image of the drone camera on the screen.

Target Locked!

The route is set up!

Launch!

As the button was pressed, the drone lying on the launch stand bounced off the launch stand like an off-string arrow.

The propeller roared, and everyone watched as the drone raced against the ground, and in an instant, it flew hundreds of meters away, and plunged directly under the crotch of the concrete tank.

With a bang, the flames of the explosion rose into the sky, and the smoke instantly rose twenty or thirty meters, and it turned out to be the concrete offensive from the ground, and the explosion was torn apart!

The dust cleared.

Only a bomb crater more than ten meters wide and concrete debris scattered around the ground remained.

Even the steel bars in the cement were blown apart, and not a single one could be found.

The crowd of onlookers dodged the falling slag and stone chips.

And Vanus, who was standing next to Chu Guang, was motionless, and everyone looked stupid.

A drone carrying a remote-controlled bomb to drill into the crotch of a tank?

Can you still play like this?

No matter how you think about it, the cost of drones and remote-controlled bombs is much cheaper than those anti-tank missiles.

"Beautiful!"

Chu Guang, who clenched his fists, couldn't help but shout hello.

Although it is a target made of concrete, it is so powerful that it is not easy for even a real tank to get out of the smoke of the explosion.

Looking at the mosquitoes coming this way, Chu Guang coughed lightly and said with a serious expression.

"I'm very satisfied with Plan 2, it would be nice if the maneuverability was a little stronger!"

"I'm going to buy 100 planes and ask to complete them within a month, can I do it?"

As soon as the mosquito heard this, he immediately patted his chest and swore an oath.

"Don't worry, esteemed manager, Goblin Tech never disappoints his customers!"

Chu Guang looked at Vanus, with a hint of show off in the smile on his face.

"How? Is this powerful enough? ”

Vanus's throat moved, his eyes straightened and his head bowed.

“…… Maybe? If your drone can fly over without being shot down. ”

This thing is very powerful, but the speed is not as fast as missiles and artillery shells, and the noise of the propeller is also a big problem.

But in terms of power alone, even he can't find fault with it.

Anyway, if he was to drive the tank, he definitely didn't want to be shot like this under his ass.

After all, even if the tank can carry it, the people inside can't carry it!

Chu Guang looked at the concrete wreckage not far away, and a happy smile was written on his face.

"Don't worry about this, by the end of the month we will have at least 100 switchblades, and our enemy will have a maximum of twenty or thirty tanks."

"Even if it's 10 drones to exchange them for a tank."

"It's definitely us who make more!"
