Chapter 213: Weapons
Looking at the list of at least a few million words, Rao is the material blown by the wind, Duncan also gritted his teeth, and pointed to the one in the clause that stood out from the crowd without a smile, "Don't you think the cost is too expensive?" With so much superconducting ore, do you want to hollow out the world of Avatar? Those are non-renewable resources, I can't find a replacement plan, use a little less, such a large amount, I can't agree! ”
Tony turned his head and said, "Then reduce it by 20%, and when the system matures, it can be applied to other worlds, which is a necessary investment, and then I will find a replacement plan." ”
You're empty-hearted, aren't you?
"The near-earth defense system of other worlds, I prefer the multi-ring defense scheme of deploying ion cannons on other planets in the solar system, anyway, no one will use the stolen resources like Thanos."
"But there really are those kind of people!" Tony also tried to convince Duncan, "Thanos has been throwing billions of tons of scrap iron into Earth for eight months, so the Earth Defense System needs more resources than that!" ”
"I suggest you make a resource recovery slip that can reforge discarded metal into new ones, otherwise you won't be a match for Thanos, who owns half the universe, anyway."
Duncan gave a plan for Tony's act of asking for money, and then waved his hand to block what the latter was still trying to say, "This war will end, it won't be long!" ”
Remembering the tragic images of the battlefield and the current state of the company, Tony leaned back in silence and nodded slightly.
After the small talk, Duncan left the Plum Gate Industrial Park, and after thinking about it, he decided to take a plane to the headquarters of the Umbrella Company's weapons research and development department in Maryland to learn more about the company's current cutting-edge weapons.
About half an hour after the flight, the Kun fighter landed at the weapons development base under the autonomous control of the Umbrella Company, where the Umbrella Company developed heavy weapons.
The buildings are built during the old Ambrera, and the architecture is more characteristic, and the curved oversized buildings are not practical, but they are beautiful.
There are a number of umbrella company security guards standing guard at the airport outside the institute, and there are heavy carrier vehicles back and forth in the airport, and these remote-controlled mobile board vehicles will smoothly pull the experimental weapon deep into the Apadin Plain for basic testing before being brought to Marvel Earth for actual combat testing.
Engineers are looking for new weapons with the best stability and the greatest utility.
When Duncan arrived, he was greeted by the head of the weapons development department, a white man named Warren, of pure Germanic descent, who looked like a young man in his twenties, but was actually in his fifties.
"Mr. Duncan, welcome to the Apatin Arms Research Institute!"
Warren was holding a tablet in his hand, his eyes were bright, seeing Duncan was like seeing a god, he bent down slightly, only God can go to the new world, and only God can extend the life span of human beings.
Some of the company's top leaders are temporarily in infinite admiration for Duncan, and his personal reputation is like that of Napoleon in his heyday.
Duncan followed Alice and boarded the car according to Warren's instructions.
They were moving towards the headquarters of the Weapons Development Department, but suddenly a small explosion was heard in the depths of the plain.
Duncan, who heard the explosion, asked Director Warren, "Is there a weapons test going on now?" ”
"Ah, yes, the project that is now underway is the data acquisition of the B31A plasma cannon in an atmospheric environment." Director Warren was driving and didn't look at the tablet, but he still accurately stated the test item.
The plasma cannon is a long-range weapon used in space, the principle of which is to use a laser to heat heavy hydrogen to a high temperature of one million degrees Celsius to turn it into a plasma state, and then use electromagnetic technology to wrap this charged particle into a "ball" and launch it to destroy the target.
Superconducting ore is a rare material that can realize the infinite ideas of scientists, and in the continuous exploration of superconducting ore, scientists who have taken NZT-48 have tried and explored many conceptual weapons.
"Take me to the field, and report back on your work by the way." Duncan decided to see the weapons in person and learn more about the work of the weapons research and development department from Warren.
Before, he paid too much attention to the situation of the company's biological department, and he didn't know the status of the weapons research and development department in detail, only knowing that many products were already in small-scale mass production.
"Okay." Warren turned the car around, went to the garage, and after changing into a jeep, began to introduce the work of the weapons research and development department.
After superconducting ore and Stark Industries' new materials entered the usable list, the weapons research and development department of the Umbrella Company had a large amount of money, and soon after the research on electromagnetic weapons, Duncan began to pay attention to the military construction of the Umbrella Company, which directly led to the overfunding of the weapons research and development department.
The weapons research and development department began to recruit people frantically, and the designers in the department, whether old or new, as long as they submit an application and review and confirm that there are no major safety hazards, are all one batch.
Many of these projects are useless industrial waste, but many of them are real weapons for practical reasons.
The weapons of the electromagnetic cannon series are just an appetizer, and the subsequent application of electromagnetic weapon technology has gradually transitioned from stationary weapons to mobile weapons.
Tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, fighter planes, and various types of warships have basically produced a set of electromagnetic series drawings.
Among them, electromagnetic launch technology has been successfully applied in tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and the launch method of replacing gunpowder propulsion with electromagnetic catapult is gradually replacing traditional gunpowder tanks.
Infantry fighting vehicles were similar, changing small-caliber rapid-fire guns to electromagnetic launches.
It's just that the application of electromagnetic technology on top of individual weapons has poor benefits, and although samples already exist, they have not been put into production.
In addition to the application of ordinary electromagnetic catapult technology, many more types of special heavy weapons were created.
Plasma cannons, stealth weapons, particle confinement weapons, laser weapons being tested......
Most of the application scenarios of plasma guns are space operations, and the power of use in the atmosphere will gradually decrease with distance.
Stealth weapons made by using optical stealth and the super computing power of quantum computers are actually a general term for a series of weapons that can be invisible, such as optically invisible airships, missiles, etc......
It's just that this weapon is currently only effective against terrestrial organisms and creatures close to terrestrial creatures, because optical stealth is based on the visible light of the human eye, and against non-human life, perhaps it is more useful to replace camouflage with other coverings.
When stealth weapons were put into use on Marvel Earth, they were seen through by the Zetarians, so this kind of stealth weapons were not mass-produced.
Particle beam weapons use accelerators to accelerate protons and neutrons and other particles to a high speed of tens of thousands to 200,000 km/s, and launch them through electrodes or magnetic beams to form very fine particle beams for bombardment targets.
The lethal effect caused by this type of weapon is more inclined to penetration, and charged particle beam weapons are usually used within the atmosphere. Neutral particle beam weapons are used outside the atmosphere and are primarily used to intercept ICBMs flying in the booster and mid-stages.
This limited weapon has achieved good results on the battlefield of Marvel Earth, and the ultra-high-speed jet has absolute control over highly mobile units, and the Umbrella Company is currently mass-producing this type of weapon and making it into a regional anti-aircraft weapon.
The final laser weapon is a huge upgrade based on Tony's heat capacity laser, which is a super weapon that can melt all matter after accumulating enough energy and using a magnetic field to release it, and the temperature generated in an instant is higher than the core temperature of the sun.
The technical hurdles have not yet been overcome, and if the technical problems of energy escape and control are solved in the future, the human fleet may be able to use lasers to melt through the surface of a planet, detonate its interior, and kill all life on the planet.
After Director Warren gave a dry introduction to the heavy weapons, he introduced some vehicles and individual equipment.
After several rounds of updates and iterations of the Guardian suit, the latest Guardian suit, the external power has been replaced from a powered exoskeleton to nano muscle technology, and the external armor covering the whole body has not changed much, it is still a bulletproof material obtained from the killer world and the impact-resistant steel insert plate used by Tony.
The full-coverage combat helmet has been replaced with a more inexpensive and practical version, and the eye area of the helmet has been replaced with single-sided non-reflective lenses, so that there is no need to take off the helmet after the helmet has no energy or the camera is accidentally damaged, as was the case with the previous generation of combat helmets.
On top of that, the Guardian set adds a flight component to everyone, with a small, non-detachable jetpack on the back that can also be loaded with 16 miniature missiles.
Although the entire outfit still looks like a bloated plate knight, its agility and defense have been greatly enhanced, and it can be used to strike a variety of flexible poses with just the slightest force.
It can squeeze the deformed nano muscles, which minimizes the inconvenience caused by the heaviness.
The mechanical exoskeleton has not been abandoned by the company, and the equipment will be decentralized to the newly formed security forces and biological disaster countermeasures units, so that those young men can also use the exoskeleton.
The progress of flesh enhancement technology will always clash with the rigidity and rigidity of the exoskeleton, and the exoskeleton with a theoretical upper limit is actually not a good piece of equipment.
It's like a T-virus reinforced soldier wearing an exoskeleton, and a black light super soldier with bare armor can't beat it.
Continue to upgrade the exoskeleton, and in the end, you can only upgrade the materials and functions.
The research and development of biological weapons is carried out in the biological department and is not under the jurisdiction of the weapons research and development department, but the two departments have also jointly developed a number of cyborg life forms that are strangely functioning and are also considered weapons.
For example, mechanical dogs, mechanical cheetahs, mechanical tigers, mechanical monkeys, ......
These T-virus-fortified animals have parasites and superconducting chips implanted in their brains to assist in manipulation, and their essence has become cyborg, most of the body surface is covered by fixed armor plates, and the embedded computer-aided computing can be used as a battlefield mobile support unit.
The technology is difficult to modify, so it cannot be mass-produced, but these cyborg animals are much more effective than purely mechanical creations.
They have instincts, and the robot dog will act according to its own judgment and the orders of its owner, which is a more abstract part of the thinking that if you want to make a pure machine complete, the computing power required is very large.
In addition to quantum computers, many animal brains are actually stronger than computers, and the data they need to process is no less than that of computers.
The highly mobile animal assistant on the battlefield does not need to be said to be helpful to the squad operation.
As he spoke, the jeep finally arrived at the test site deep in the Apadine Plains.
The test, which was supposed to be over, was fired again because of Duncan's arrival.
The plasma cannon that needs to be tested is a model-like prop weapon with reduced power, and the effect is only to blow up a temporary mound of dirt to evaporate completely, and the real plasma cannon is a rail weapon, which will be much more powerful than the one in the live demonstration.
At present, the institute is only collecting data, and has not yet reached the stage of making samples for launch into orbit for testing.
Duncan spent two days in the weapons research and development department, where he learned about the various series of weapons that had been applied to the technology, as well as the ongoing projects.
After that, he went to the factory and the military headquarters to check the production of weapons and the training of soldiers.
The role of war in the world of Marvel was originally to find a source for resources that had nowhere to be placed, and then use a war that was close to the end to stabilize the turmoil caused by the rapid development of the Resident Evil World Umbrella Corporation.
At present, both goals have been achieved, the zombie world has also provided a safer resource consumption point, and the gold swallowing speed of Marvel Earth has gradually increased, and now this war can enter the countdown to the end.
And he suspects that if he doesn't solve Thanos, Tony will come up with some kind of ruined thing......
At present, in addition to the weapons and equipment produced by the Umbrella Company, which are put into use on Marvel Earth, the remaining part of the Umbrella Company can also arm 900,000 troops, but only the company is now in the army and air force.
The newly recruited 300,000 soldiers have only been trained for about half a year, and there is still a long way to go before they can be put into battle, and they must learn new combat methods and learn to operate all kinds of new equipment.
It is expected that a year later, it will enter the Marvel battlefield in batches and use new equipment to fight.
By that time, Ultron's Iron Legion should have been fed by the Mobile Factory, and the counteroffensive would no longer be a problem.
After a week of circulating through the various branches of the Umbrella Company, the time came to the date of the transformation of the Blacklight Super Soldiers.
The top ten soldiers in the zombie world's actual combat training have put on their lab suits and are standing in the laboratory of the hive base.
Ten freezers have been prepared, and the experimenters are in place.
Before the transformation experiment, Duncan greeted each of the ten soldiers one by one, and when he stood in front of one of them, he was surprised to recognize each other.
"Corporal Peyton? The first time I saw you, I saw your strong soul hidden under the ordinary, and the medal will be your greatest affirmation! ”
Standing tall, Peyton almost burst into tears, and after shaking Duncan's hand, he looked firmly ahead and shouted, "Yes sir! ”
