Chapter Eighty-Eight: Thunder Hammer

A special train of weapons departed from the base of the "Divine Sleep" and headed straight for the ore refinery deep in the desert.

In addition to the freshly baked "Thunderhammer" siege tank, there is also a set of "Nano Angel" armor and a set of "Purgatory Bat" armor.

This time, it was White Tang himself who led the team, and the mission was to test the combat effectiveness of these new weapons.

At the same time, the "Divine Sleeper" base immediately began the construction of a low-earth orbit space port non-stop.

However, the consumption of "high-energy liquid gas" by the "low-earth orbit space port" is somewhat exaggerated, and at the current construction rate, even if the desert ore refinery is fully supplied, it will take at least a month.

Upon arrival at the Desert Ore Refinery, the stationed Lias and Britz "Hammer Bearers" arrived to greet White Tang.

This messenger of the Lord still carries a lot of weight in front of the core members of the "Journey to the Underworld".

In particular, he also brought the latest weapons and equipment, and these people are in a hurry to come here to have a good time.

After greeting White Tang, the next step was the weapons demonstration.

The all-white Battlefield Angel armor and the crimson painted Infernal Bat armor both look more eye-catching than the black Hammer Armour, but both are just appetizers.

When the "Thunderhammer" siege tank drove down from the train car, Lias almost drooled all over the ground.

"This and this, I'm going to open this, I'm going to open this!" He almost climbed up and held on to the barrel of the tank and didn't let go.

The tank hatch opened, and Susie came out of it: "Come on, look at you like this, go down first, I'll drive the car to the position and you will come to test the car." ”

In front of the heavy "Thunderhammer" siege tank, the multi-legged chariot is indeed like a small crab with thin arms and legs.

Next to him, the "Thunderhammer" siege tank, which was fully loaded and more than 600 tons, and the eight tracks quickly pulled the sand, even on the desert terrain.

The place where the giant sandworms were baited has been transformed into a makeshift weapon testing site.

The first to take the stage was the "Purgatory Bat" armor, and White Tang himself took the field and pulled the trigger on a target set up in the desert.

The "Purgatory Bat" armor does not have as many weapon systems as the "Hammerman" armor, and it only has two high-energy radiation devices on both arms.

There are two attack modes of high-energy radiation devices, namely continuous suppression mode and pulse output mode.

In the continuous pressing mode, the high-energy radiation device can continuously irradiate the target area, causing a high-temperature cauterizing effect.

The power output provided by the II Cold Fusion Power Core is enough to burn sand into glass in half a second.

This is also a common means of output for the "Purgatory Bat" armor.

The pulse output mode has a large loss of high-energy radiation devices, and can apply high-energy radiation pulses to the target area, instantly heating them to tens of thousands of degrees Celsius.

The trade-off is that the high-energy radiation device overheats and cannot be used again until the heat is completely dissipated.

After testing both attack modes, White Tang was full of praise for the Purgatory Bat armor: "This armor is more suppressive than the 'Hammerman' armor, and it also has a high hit rate, making it the first choice for positional warfare." ”

"The only drawback is that the high-energy radiation can only attack in a straight line, and in the presence of obstacles, the shooting angle is insufficient."

"And the continuous suppression mode is not lethal enough for the fortifications, and the high-energy pulse mode has a serious break time......"

He concluded, "This armor can only be used as a support unit, and it is enough to mix and match one from each squad, so you don't need to deploy it in large numbers." ”

Next up is Susie's "Battlefield Angel" nanohealing armor.

This is a set of medical auxiliary armor equipped with nano-repair machines and health recovery devices, which can repair damaged small and medium-sized armored machines and wounded soldiers in battle.

In addition, the "Battlefield Angel" is also equipped with a high-efficiency laser blinding system, which can quickly detect the optoelectronic sensing system of enemy units and blind them with laser cauterization.

What is surprising is that the basic weapon of "Battlefield Angel" is actually equipped with a power axe.

It turns out that in the army system of the Federation Star Field, medical auxiliary units such as "Battlefield Angels" also carry power axes to fight the enemy in close combat.

After testing the "Angel of the Battlefield" armor, it was finally time for the main meal of this test, and the "Thunderhammer" siege tank drove to its place with sand in place.

Susie said in the communicator: "The first test, two kilometers away, two test shots!" ”

Everyone picked up their binoculars and looked at the target placed on the top of the dune in the distance.

"Bang bang!" The double-barreled electromagnetic kinetic energy cannon fired two shells, which instantly smashed the target.

"Two hits!" Lias replied, "Susie, don't be sluggish, show the big guy to everyone." ”

Susie replied in the communicator: "Okay, you all pay attention, it's the finale next!" ”

"Click!" In a series of mechanical distant sounds, the driving tracks of the "Thunderhammer" siege tank began to rotate, from the previous four columns side by side, to a cross-X-shape.

Immediately afterwards, the support arms on both sides of the tank changed from a folded state to a bracket state, and the four support arms were also scattered in an X-shape.

At this point, the "Thunderhammer" siege tank was transformed into siege mode, and eight support points fixed it on the ground, and only in this way could it withstand the recoil when it fired.

The turret above the "snap" tank was raised, and the ten-meter-long ten-meter-long body of the "Thor's Hammer" 720 mm caliber railgun hidden under the turret was finally revealed.

After the final adjustments to the battery, Susie's voice came from the communicator: "Second test, forty kilometers away, one test shot." ”

This time, everyone couldn't look directly through the binoculars, and everyone gathered in front of the video screen.

It was the camera equipment that had been set up before, and in the center of the screen, a huge target was swaying from side to side in the hot desert wind.

"Fire!" Susie gave an order, "Boom! There was a loud bang, which shook everyone.

However, after a few seconds, the screen in front of everyone went black, and everyone could not see from the screen whether the shell had hit the target or not.

At this moment, a bright light came from outside the horizon, and the direction should be the position of the shelling, and it was not until two minutes later that the sound of a tsunami of explosions came.

"I said, Britz, how far away did you put the camera from the target?" Lias asked.

Britz replied: "One kilometer, what, is it too close?" ”
