Chapter 804: Laser assault vehicle

In Chen Xin's exclusive laboratory, a six-wheeled car less than three meters

long was parked in front of him.

The body of the car is short and compact, leaving only two seats for the

driver and co-pilot. The car is equipped with a machine that looks like an

astronomical telescope. It is almost a third of the length of the car. The

supporting base is Occupies the second half of the car.

This is the new weapon that Chen Xin created after being inspired by Qin Lan.

A laser weapon launch platform transformed from the chassis of a Bobcat

assault vehicle.

Chen Xin made two versions, using pulsed laser and continuous laser

respectively. After small-scale trial production, they will be sent to the

military for testing to determine the specific mass-produced model.

However, Chen Xin is more optimistic about the pulsed laser version, mainly

because the damage effect of this kind of laser is better than that of

continuous laser.

Of course, after Chen Xin's upgrade, the damage effects of these two lasers

have reached the standard of a practical weapon, but the mode of operation is

different.

This six-wheeled assault vehicle equipped with two laser weapons is light and

compact, and the six-wheel chassis also has a fairly good passability, even in

underground tunnels, it can also have better maneuverability.

After Chen Xin’s adjustments and upgrades, the laser weapon it carries can

cause effective damage to the combat sub-body in only about 0.5 seconds of

exposure.

Although it sounds like it has only shortened the time from a few seconds to a

few tenths of a second, it does not seem to be much, but in actual combat, the

killing efficiency of laser weapons is undoubtedly greatly improved.

To give a simple example, if it takes 2-3 seconds to cause effective damage to

a combat sub-body and penetrate its chitin exoskeleton carapace, how can you

ensure that the laser can be used in the battle in the underground tunnel?

Always illuminate the same location for at least 5 seconds?

It is important to know that under the combat loop of the underground tunnel,

the alien creatures still have a lot of mobility. In addition to advancing on

the ground, they can also climb on the sides and top of the cave. In this

environment, you want to move It is not easy to point the laser at the moving

target and keep the irradiation time for a few seconds.

In this case, to shorten the laser irradiation time, it is best to achieve the

kind of sci-fi works that can be lit up by the irradiation, and even punching

and cutting is the best.

However, although Chen Xin, a high-power, high-damage laser weapon, can be

made through system upgrades, it is not suitable for production.

At least in a short period of time, there is no way to achieve mass production

to meet the needs of the military to clear out alien creatures in underground

tunnels in counter-offensive operations.

The 0.5 second irradiation time can achieve effective damage. Such laser

weapons have been able to meet the needs of the military and are also easy to

produce.

Chen Xin has already asked the factory that it only needs to adjust the

production line a little bit. The production of other parts is readily

available. In one month, one hundred small assault vehicles equipped with

laser weapons can be equipped to the army to meet the needs of the army. need.

However, Chen Xin still tried to make a laser weapon with a power that could

cut the body of the combat sub-body instantaneously within the effective

irradiation range in case of emergency.

Of course, this laser cannon that can cut the body of the combat sub-body

instantly is not suitable for mounting on an assault vehicle, but is more

suitable for a Titan weapon.

The greater the power, the greater the energy required. For a small assault

vehicle, even if it is equipped with a nuclear battery, the energy and power

that can be output is limited. It is already the limit to meet the consumption

of an ordinary laser weapon.

In the case of Titan, the energy output that can be output is much higher than

that of a small assault vehicle.

Out of such considerations, Chen Xin is also preparing to replace Titan with

laser weapons.

After all, if Titan can be equipped with more powerful laser weapons and swept

away those alien creatures directly in the tunnel, the combat efficiency will

undoubtedly be greatly improved.

Chen Xin is still worried about the actual use of laser weapons. He plans to

wait for the military to put the two assault vehicles equipped with laser

weapons into actual combat to test the effects, and then consider whether to

replace the Titan with laser weapons based on the effects.

Laser weapons and live ammunition weapons are two completely different

weapons, and their use is more similar to holding a flashlight to illuminate

the target, rather than shooting a bullet-like light ball like in many movies.

Therefore, the use must be different from the existing weapons, and how to use

this new type of weapon requires actual testing and research by the military.

But these are not what Chen Xin needs to be responsible for.

—————————

Two assault vehicles equipped with laser weapons were quickly sent to the

front line and handed over to the military.

The military was really surprised at the fact that Chen Xin really provided

new weapons so quickly. Although they asked Chen Xin, they were just trying to

try and did not really pin their hopes on the new weapons. .

After all, they also knew that this request was very unkind and somewhat

whimsical.

The research and development of a new weapon, from design finalization, to

trial production, to actual combat testing, and finally to mass production,

usually takes several years to be possible.

It is possible for the military to change into a rifle for ten or eight years,

and it takes three months to come up with a new weapon that can be put into

actual combat, even if it is just an engineer shovel, it is impossible.

This is why Chen Xin has created too many miracles before, so that the

military has such an idea.

But even so, the military is still ready to have no new weapons. com

themselves feel that even if Chen Xin can produce new weapons that meet the

requirements within three months, he may not be able to enter mass production

and catch up with the counterattack and suppression operations afterwards.

But now that Chen Xin has done it, the military has undoubtedly been greatly

shocked.

However, the way soldiers think about problems is different from that of

ordinary people. For them, there is no new weapon or preparation for a new

weapon. With a new weapon, it is natural to make adjustments around the new

weapon.

The two prototype vehicles were quickly tested, and the military quickly

figured out the effects of different types of laser weapons on the two

vehicles.

For the damage effect of the laser weapons on the two prototypes, the military

is undoubtedly satisfied. Although this seems to be not much different from

the damage produced by large-caliber bullets or small-caliber machine gun

shells, it is clear that the two still have their essence. difference.

Laser weapons have solved the problem of ricocheting that the military has

been worrying about, and the problem of tunnel collapse caused by artillery

bomb explosions, and meets the military's requirements for underground tunnel

operations.

As a result, the military immediately organized a group of front-line

commanders with rich combat experience to study tactics and methods of use. On

the one hand, they also returned the test results to Chen Xin and put forward

some suggestions for improvement.
