In terms of frontal firepower and armor, there is no essential difference between a soldier wearing T-3 power armor and a mutant with a steel plate on his chest.
If it is a one-on-one situation, the power armor can indeed easily deal with the mutant soldiers with almost no defense due to its high mobility and high battlefield adaptability. But if it rises to a legion-level battle, the advantages of power armor will be greatly weakened, and battles will often develop in the direction of relying on bunkers to vent firepower to each other.
Jiang Chen had already learned his lesson from the last firefight with mutants.
In a firefight with dozens of mutants, ten T-3s did not have any advantage in firepower, and it could even be said that they were completely suppressed. In the end, they still relied on the advantage of the condescending terrain and paid the price of several spare fuel rods and a power armor to barely win.
If Jiang Chen had had a few more artillery pieces, the situation might have been different.
At the same time, whether it has the ability to produce heavy firepower weapons on its own is fundamental to whether a survivor base can exist independently.
In every sense of the word, Fish Bones must develop heavy firepower!
And he has already set out to do so.
The Type 50 electromagnetic gun technology purchased from Zhao Chenwu last time has been completely digested by the technicians at the Fish Bone Base. Although the production conditions at the base are still rudimentary, after more than half a month of hard work, the workers at the Fish Bone Base were able to produce six Type 50 electromagnetic guns with the help of rudimentary production equipment.
This kind of vehicle-mounted electromagnetic gun is usually used as the main gun of a tank during wartime, but now it is obviously impossible to get a tank. Ever since, Jiang Chen thought of a compromise.
The Type 50 electromagnetic gun was welded to the improved truck bed, and the truck's armor was strengthened to a certain extent by welding steel plates. At the same time, a gunner is placed at the rear to fire the gun manually.
Ever since, this nondescript electromagnetic gun tank was born under Jiang Chen's imagination.
Moreover, he also gave this thing a name that hit the charts for the second time - Hunting Tiger.
Low armor, medium mobility, high range. High damage. It works wonders in suburbs with fewer buildings, but it's a target in the city. Although this design is a bit extreme, it is the only way to play it for now.
On the other hand, with the commissioning of the Hummingbird drone production line, patrolling the perimeter of the base has been completely handed over to these palm-sized little guys. At present, the reserve of Hummingbird drones in the base has reached more than 100, which is more than enough to form a drone attack formation. Although these little guys don't have a high bomb load. But once the numbers are established, launching a cluster-style attack is simply impossible.
... ...
The expedition to Shenxiang Town was scheduled for five days, and the survivors in the base were busy again.
Although the winter expedition seems a bit futile, as long as it is the boss's decision, they will implement it without hesitation.
The military factories were working overtime. The workers followed Jiang Chen's instructions and welded the Type 50 electromagnetic gun to the modified truck. The training ground became lively as a result. Soldiers wearing white cold-proof clothing, led by Cheng Weiguo, were nervously conducting pre-war training.
Although everyone was preparing seriously, Jiang Chen didn't have too many worries about this expedition.
Just about 40 mutants. Fish Bones not only has hunting tigers to provide fire support, but also helicopters that serve as aerial gunships.
It can be said that there is no suspense in this war.
After coming out of the villa wearing thick winter clothes, Jiang Chen walked straight to Jiang Lin's laboratory.
For the scientist who is passionate about the aerospace industry. He was still very interested. Not only did they get him a laboratory, but they also gave him a monthly budget of 1,000 sub-crystals to purchase related equipment.
Although the current aerospace technology is of little use to the Fish Bone Base. But rockets are not just for shooting into the sky. Shoot it at the ground, it's a missile!
Of course, the purpose of his coming this time was not for missiles, but for something else.
After opening the door of the laboratory, Jiang Chen quickly stepped inside and then quickly closed the door behind him.
He stood at the door and shook off the snow on his body. Then he walked towards the house.
"Ahem, what are you playing with?"
A dazzling array of mechanical parts are piled haphazardly in the corners of the room. Some of them are related equipment needed for rocket launches, and some are sundries moved from a prosthetic leg boutique. Although Jiang Lin does not intend to inherit his father's business. However, he still moved these things here.
"The engine of the rocket..." At this moment, Jiang Lin was wearing sunglasses, holding a welder in his hand, and was concentrating on playing with the parts on the table.
Looking at the hair that was stuck into clusters due to oil stains, Jiang Chen didn't want to guess how long it had been since he washed his hair.
It's good to be passionate about your career, but...
"Have you completed the task I gave you?" Jiang Chen walked over to him and asked as he stepped over a piece of mechanical leg lying horizontally.
"It's done. It's on the shelf to your right. The instructions are on the second shelf on the bookcase next to you." Jiang Lin carefully welded a small chip onto the engine and said without looking back.
"I said, you can't launch a rocket in this weather, why not do something else?" Jiang Chen took the weird mechanical stand off the shelf, fiddled with it, and said casually.
"Just wait until the weather clears... Set up an intelligent power control module in the engine, and then install a radio obstacle feedback system on the head of the rocket. Gee, I'm a genius." Jiang Lin said to himself He spoke softly, with a very excited expression on his face.
Although Jiang Chen couldn't figure out what he was excited about.
"Mechanical exoskeleton, model: k1." A line of small characters was inscribed on the side of the metal bar, and Jiang Chen read it out in a low voice.
Turning his attention back to the mechanical stand in his hand, he fumbled for a long time without finding a clue, so he walked to the bookcase and took down the instruction manual and followed the steps above to put it on.
Light plastic steel metal fits the sides of the limbs, and the spine is covered by overlapping metal strips in a scale-like manner.
To put it simply, this thing is like a metal skeleton. Although it has a full metallic texture, it does not feel cumbersome when worn on the body.
He moved his limbs. After moving his fingers, Jiang Chen didn't feel that this thing was of any use, and couldn't help showing a confused expression on his face.
Seeing that the boss had already put on his masterpiece, Jiang Lin put down what he was doing, clapped his hands and walked over.
"The start button is on the neck. You can try pressing it."
Following Jiang Lin's instructions, Jiang Chen doubtfully stretched his fingers to the side of his neck, quickly found a button, and pressed it tentatively.
A faint sound of electricity passed by, and Jiang Chen felt a slight numbness on the back of his neck. The next moment, a shocked expression appeared on his face.
This feeling is very amazing. It's as if these metal bars are part of one's own body. What drives one's body to move is no longer the bones in the flesh and blood, but the metal bones attached to the outside of the body!
Jiang Chen moved his arms, and the shock on his face became more and more intense.
It's hard to describe this feeling. Specifically speaking, it's like the metal skeleton is your own hand. And the real hand was just a prop that he was "holding".
"K1 type mechanical exoskeleton, the proud work of the prosthetic leg boutique." Jiang Lin showed a proud smile on his face, took a curved plastic plate from the side, and pressed it on the empty space on Jiang Chen's chest. on the trough.
"The detachable armor and ultra-molecular weight polyethylene bulletproof partition have no problem in defending against ordinary rifle bullets. The exterior is coated with a scattering coating, which also has a certain degree of defense against laser bullets. Of course, I personally do not recommend you to To test the strength of the armor and deliberately take a few shots.”
Said. Jiang Lin took several more curved plastic plates and put them on Jiang Chen's chest, abdomen, front of thighs, and shoulder blades.
"Almost dressed." Jiang Lin stood up, clapped his hands, and took the tablet from the table next to him with a smile. Connect a data cable to the disk behind Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen slumped his limbs and watched with interest as his fingers tapped rapidly on the screen. Soon, the tingling electric shock coming from the back of the neck disappeared, replaced by the shock of nerves passing through metal.
This time it was not just the metal that drove the limbs, but both the metal and the limbs were controlled by his brain at the same time.
As he moved his limbs, Jiang Chen's face became more and more surprised.
Look at the expression on the boss's face. Jiang Lin chuckled, quickly stepped aside and made a "please" gesture. He said proudly: "Come and try to punch the sandbag."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen clenched his fist with a thin finger guard attached. Use all your strength to hit him hard.
boom-.
Dust flies.
The violent impact dented the sandbags, and the hanging chains let out an overwhelmed scream.
"Nice shot! Let me see... 971 kilograms, not bad." Jiang Lin touched his chin and nodded, professionally debugging the data on the tablet.
not bad? It's awesome!
Jiang Chen stared at his hands in shock and complained in his heart.
Nearly a ton of punching power! A normal person's boxing power is only about 100 kilograms, and he remembers that the current boxing champion Tyson only has about 400 kilograms.
However, this sandbag was not punched through by a single punch, so I guess the quality is pretty good.
Apart from being surprised by the power, Jiang Chen couldn't help but take another look at the sandbag.
"Try the strength index again." Jiang Lin quickly walked to the other end of the room.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen moved his legs tentatively. After discovering that there was no obstacle to coordination, he followed suit.
An iron box the size of a wardrobe, the protruding part seems to be something like a weight lifting device. The white metal shell flashed with unknown signal lights, and the instrument beside it emitted a faint fluorescent light.
"Put your hands on the handle, and then lift it up with your greatest strength." Jiang Lin handed something like a weightlifting lever to his hand, and then made a "please" gesture with a smile.
Jiang Chen followed his instructions, put his hands on the barbell, and then raised it with all his strength.
[Strength index: 64]
"It's perfect!" Jiang Lin said excitedly as he snapped his fingers.
Compared to Jiang Lin's excitement, Jiang Chen's mood can be described as ecstasy.
With just a few metal frames, one can gain power beyond the limits of genetic modification. If every soldier wears one, the combat effectiveness of the Fish Bone Base will more than double! ()<over-->
