Chapter 693: Simple maintenance

If it were in the past, the military would definitely not consider the issue

of close combat.

Human beings have been out of the cold weapon era for hundreds of years, and

melee combat in wars has been decades ago. With the development of science and

technology, human beings have become more and more away from face-to-face

combat in wars, but are out of sight. Blow.

Even in a close range of sight, using weapons such as firearms and artillery

is enough to kill the enemy when they are approaching.

In the past, the military used a pistol to solve this problem. Soldiers were

equipped with an assault rifle as their main weapon to fight. When the enemy

came close to the front, they used the pistol to fight at close range.

After all, in modern warfare, no one would equip ordinary soldiers with body

armor or armor and other protective equipment. The penetrating power of a

pistol is enough to kill the enemy in front of him.

However, as the battle between humans and alien creatures unfolds, small-

caliber weapons are basically scratching the alien creatures, and they can't

even break the skin and become useless.

The result of this is the overwhelming disadvantage of humans in the close

combat between humans and aliens.

Although humans can still kill alien creatures at close range by relying on

large-caliber weapons, ordinary soldiers are simply unable to resist once the

alien creatures attack humans.

The jetpack previously developed by Chen Xin solved some of the above

problems, giving ordinary soldiers at least one chance to regain their

distance in close combat.

But this is only a temporary cure, not a permanent cure.

This is especially true for large vehicles like Titan, after all, it is

impossible for Titan to fly.

Even if Chen Xin can do it, cost is still a big problem. With the technology

and resources to make Titan fly, doing something else can change the situation

of the battle.

Therefore, the Titans must consider the issue of close combat.

In the past, the general-purpose Titan was easy to say in this respect. Adding

a bayonet to the equipped weapon, or simply bringing a cold weapon like Chen

Xin's Bailong, can solve the problem of close combat.

Even though these bayonets and cold weapons were to act as a self-defense and

would not die so miserably, they did solve the problem to a certain extent.

At least, in the event of an emergency, you can draw a knife to kill you,

instead of killing your neck.

However, the new model of Titan has to face this problem. Removing the arms

and replacing them with weapons does save a lot of resources, reduces

unnecessary structures, and makes maintenance and production much easier.

But in the same way, without the ability to grasp both hands, there is no way

to equip melee weapons.

If it was before, this problem could be solved by the accompanying infantry.

Anyway, the tanks are coordinated, the tanks are coordinated, and the Titans

are also coordinated.

But now... if the alien creatures break through to the front, the Titans can't

stop the offensive, and ordinary soldiers can only be regarded as an addition,

and it will not play a big role.

Of course, Chen Xin had prepared and considered this point a long time ago,

and signaled to the staff on the side that after receiving Chen Xin's signal,

they pushed out the melee weapons specially prepared for the new model of

Titan.

It is a large chain saw that matches the size of the Titan.

"When designing the new model of Titan, I also considered the need to replace

weapons to cope with different tasks. Therefore, the arms of the new model of

Titan are pluggable. When you need to replace it, you only need to pull out

the original installed weapon. When you come down, you can change into new

weapons.” While instructing the staff to replace the weapons of the test body,

Chen Xin explained to the dumbfounded military representative: “This is also

for the convenience of logistical maintenance. If the weapon is broken If the

body is still intact, it can regain combat effectiveness by replacing weapons.

The melee problem you are worried about is also simple. You only need to

replace one of your hands with a melee weapon to solve this problem.

But generally I still don't recommend this, because doing so will weaken the

firepower.

Of course this is just a suggestion. How to configure the weapons is a matter

for your military, so I won’t be too much trouble. "

"What do Academician Chen say! The design of the new model Titan is already

very good. Thanks to Academician Chen, we can have such new equipment!" The

military representative said to Chen Xin a sincere compliment. , But at the

same time did not forget to ask: "Academician Chen, what are the production

costs and man-hours of the new model of Titan? If the existing production line

is converted, how long will it take to adjust? What changes will be made in

the process?"

These are the real key issues. Whether a piece of equipment is easy to use

depends on whether it is large enough to be managed, and no matter how good it

is, only one or two pieces can be built, unless it is a nuclear bomb that can

solve it. The problem, otherwise it's no use.

"Please rest assured that the new model Titan can save one-third of the

production cost compared with the general-purpose model. The parts adopt a

more concise design, which is easier to produce. The technical threshold is

also lowered a lot, and there can be more. The factory produces these parts."

Chen Xin brought military representatives to the side of the new Titan, and

continued to introduce: "Because of the simplified structure and the modular

design, maintenance has also become much simpler.

If there are enough parts, in the rear maintenance station, even if it only

depends on manpower, it can be assembled with spare parts in one day. "

"Can it be assembled with parts by manpower in the repair station?" The

military representative was completely shocked, although he understood from

Chen Xin's introduction that the structure of the new model Titan is simple

and easy to maintain. uukanshu.com never thought it could reach this level.

This is like someone telling you that if you have enough parts, you can put

together a car in a car repair shop. This is beyond the scope of normal

imagination.

"Theoretically, it is possible. However, under normal circumstances, key

components such as engines and airborne mainframes will not be stocked at the

repair station. Damage to these components will still have to be returned to

the repair shop in the rear to be repaired. Chen Xin explained to the military

representative.

Although the modular design makes repairs easier, Chen Xin obviously can't

really make the battlefield repair station in front of him all fight a Titan.

After all, even if he reduces the production difficulty and cost of the parts,

the key core parts are still quite sophisticated, and it is impossible to put

them in the front repair station for simple maintenance on the battlefield.

Military representatives can also understand this kind of thing. After all,

the simple battlefield repair station in the front is only used to maintain

and repair some minor defects. It is impossible to say that it can really play

a role in overhaul. In that case, the maintenance cost of the repair station

It's too high.
