Chapter 63: Umbrella's Individual Combat System
After meeting Alice, Duncan remembered something that he had forgotten, and today he was going to observe the training of soldiers!
After putting his image in order, he took the car and Alice to the training ground of the special operations forces.
There is an underground shooting range underneath the indoor training ground for special operations forces, but this underground shooting range was dismantled and expanded into a new huge space half a year ago.
It became a training ground for the advance team members that the Umbrella would send to another world, as well as a place to test new equipment.
The first holographic virtual reality game system developed by the tool man Ultron was invested here, and the main engine room is connected to 200 game helmets, and the soldiers need to train for more than 4.5 hours in the game and another 6 hours in reality.
Generally, physical training is done in the morning, game training in the afternoon, and gun training in the evening.
Theoretical knowledge is learned on Saturdays and Sundays, day after day, for four months.
Most of the time it's a two-hundred-player match, and occasionally there are war dungeons, bots, zombies, and alien creatures that don't look good.
Among these two hundred, one hundred of them are elite clone soldiers who have been training in third world countries for half a year and can survive.
The other hundred people are ordinary people who have undergone rigorous training, temporarily led by retired officers from all over the country, and they all enjoy the combat in the virtual game, they don't need to take risks, and they can decompress, except for the continuous electric shock that simulates the pain after being shot is a little painful, there is nothing unsatisfying.
In the 100-Man Tournament, clone soldiers who have been instilled in memory and lack a reverence for life carry out orders more strictly than ordinary people who have been trained, and they often fight against ordinary soldiers.
The other side was beaten to the ground, and it was not until they learned to use all sorts of strange tactics that this situation was alleviated.
The major, who served as an instructor and commander of ordinary soldiers, has long since thrown some of the knowledge he has learned in the army to the corner, and under the absolute quality gap, only unexpected thinking can win the war.
This idea is passed on to every ordinary soldier trained by the instructor, and this is good, clones should be able to assist each other with ordinary people in order to exert their strength best.
The SUV drove into the training ground, and after parking the car, Duncan and Alice went underground through the elevator.
The transparent elevator was only shielded by a railing, and when they fell, the two of them had already seen the whole situation of the training ground.
The underground training ground is divided into two floors, the second floor is a weapons testing area, and the first floor is a theoretical study area and a place to store game cabins.
The individual combat system has matured after being modified countless times, and Duncan came to see this, so he went directly down to the minus two layers.
The facilities on the second floor are simple, with a place to store new equipment and two separate spaces, one for a fixed shooting range and the other for a simulated environment.
Ultron copied all the materials in the Stark Industrial Database, including Stark's personal research results, and the power exoskeleton was nothing more than castrating most of the armor's functions and making some minor modifications.
It made the first set of finished products in less than half a month, and until now, the power exoskeleton has been upgraded to version 3.5.
Due to the different needs brought by the use environment, the power exoskeleton is only used as a plug-in, and when equipped, it needs to be installed in different combat suits to be worn in order to play a good effect.
Moreover, the powered exoskeleton cannot be directly put on the outside of the body, and if it is hit by a bullet or violently impacted, it may not be able to be used without cushioning.
Ultron gave three options when it was manufactured: make a mechanical unit to assist human soldiers in combat, and not develop a power exoskeleton.
Use a full-body armor that is not very castrated to the most ridiculous version, with full body protection, and you can fly.
The power exoskeleton is covered with two layers of fibers, and bulletproof inserts and shock-absorbing inserts are installed, which are similar to ordinary soldiers wearing heavy body armor after use, and the whole person will look extremely bloated.
Duncan consulted with military experts and hired instructors to finalize the third plan, because the third plan is stable, low-cost, suitable for large-scale installation, and they can afford it.
After the plan was determined, after careful design modifications, there were only two types of power exoskeleton suits on the table, the unnamed bulletproof suit and the flight suit.
The bulletproof suit is to wrap the exoskeleton in the highest bulletproof combat suit, the metal part is covered by chemical fiber fabric, and the limbs and chest and abdomen of the combat suit are filled with a large number of bulletproof inserts.
Driven by the power exoskeleton, the overall weight of the plug plate can be borne by ordinary people, and its flexibility is similar to that of wearing the full Interceptor body armor of the US military's active Class III.A bodyarmor.
The overall suit looks very wide and heavy, and after wearing it, it is like a child wearing an adult's clothes, and the head will be smaller in comparison.
However, when the insert plate is removed and the inner rope is tightened, the clothes will become fitted, and after the exoskeleton energy is exhausted, it can also take off the weight for flexible combat.
Duncan wanted to promote the bulletproof model, because the protection level of this equipment is very high, and only those who survive can output it, and the bulletproof suit plays best in complex environments.
The battery of the power exoskeleton can support them to continue fighting for 72 hours, and they can also carry a few more batteries to fight for more than a week during the operation, and with the power supply of the small ark reactor on the drone, there is no problem in fighting for more than ten days.
In addition to bulletproof suits, there are also flight suits.
The flight suit is a lightly castrated Hydra soldier's flying device, with anti-gravity devices on the chest, back, and legs, and the level of protection is not as high as the bulletproof suit due to the addition of flying devices.
This set of equipment has a very impressive movement speed, and it is equipped on snipers who need to change positions at any time, making it easier to get out when being chased.
The UAV in the individual combat system is connected to the exoskeleton, and the shape and function of the UAV are designed by the designers of the military department of the umbrella company.
They had a heated discussion on the issue of size, and some designers said that the role of drones only needs to be reconnaissance and lock the enemy, and the smaller the size, the better.
Some designers say that the load of the drone can provide soldiers with more ammunition, and if necessary, it can also allow the drone to take the land soldiers over obstacles, so the volume should be large.
The two sides had a heated discussion, and the end result was all for all.
Different types of drones are made according to the positioning of soldiers, locking up enemies, assassinations, assaults, transports, and medical treatment.
In the simulated environment, a team of five people is engaged in a simulated battle in an obstacle.
Duncan and Alice go to the observation room and observe the performance of the soldiers through the cameras on the ceiling.
Five soldiers, four in bulletproof suits and one in a flight suit.
They also have different weapons and different bags on their backs.
Scout, Assaulter, Fireman, Medic, Sniper.
Scouts, assaulters and medics have a new assault rifle independently developed by Umbrella Company, and the fireman uses a Belgian M249 Minimi light machine gun, which is a general-purpose machine gun used in the U.S. military.
The weight of 7.5 kg is not too heavy to hold in the hand after putting on the power exoskeleton, and the slow movement of the end gun does not feel tired.
The remaining snipers also use sniper rifles independently developed by Umbrella, and squad operations require more firepower, so they do not use sniper rifles with higher power and accuracy.
A five-man squad weaves through obstacles, with snipers at the back of the line, along with half-sized payloads, medical drones.
The remaining three drones hovered around, and the reconnaissance drones directly used thermal induction and infrared scanning to detect targets in advance.
Before the hidden target could step out of the obstacle, the grenade was already gurgling over, a flash of red light, and the dummy fell to the ground.
Immediately dummies appeared in all directions, infrared sensors flashed continuously, and red dots shining on the bodies of several people represented being shot.
Five soldiers faced the fire attack of the four-panel dummy in the room, the guns in their hands fired continuously, covering each other and scattering, and the drone hovering in the sky opened the emhole and fired a large number of miniature missiles at the target that appeared.
The miniature missile did not explode after hitting the dummy, and it took no more than 2 seconds from the completion of the reconnaissance to the end of the battle, and the red dots of the family did not shine on a few people, at most, when all the enemies appeared, they were a little scrambling.
However, with the support of miniature missiles carried on the drone, there is still a high probability that you will be able to get out of trouble when you are under siege.
The test was a success.
Duncan didn't know what needed to be improved, and that was what the commander and those in the weapons department should be thinking about.
He just came to see the excitement, and by the way, he asked the instructor about the training, and wondered if the first two hundred people could carry out a new exploration mission?
The door to the new world had been opened a few days ago, and Duncan only saw a dense forest through the portal, and the portal was one-way until it solidified, unless Duncan went directly to allow people who had completely left the Resident Evil world to return.
He didn't do that, he just threw a few drones into that world, and the deeper exploration had to wait until all the equipment was ready.
Because of the multi-angle picture through the portal, Duncan saw stones suspended in mid-air and various strange animals and plants, which did not look like a parallel world Earth at all.
