When the train stopped in front of everyone, the iron axe finally got a glimpse of its whole picture.
It has only five sections in total, which is much shorter than the one on public display, but because it is wrapped with steel plates, it looks much thicker and larger, and with its non-reflective dark appearance, it looks like a prostrate wild beast.
The shape of the front section and the rear section of the car are exactly the same, except that they are arranged symmetrically. In addition to the two rotatable machine gun turrets, there are also many small holes in the armor belt below. There is no doubt that those holes are used for Soldiers observe and shoot.
Iron Axe can already imagine the situation when the enemy rushes towards the new weapon.
The spears that fell like rain hit the steel plate and made a clanging sound, but the train did not move at all, still maintaining a stable speed. At the same time, the side of its body spewed more than ten rays of fire towards the enemy, beating the target that entered the range into a honeycomb.
Whether it's a devil or an evil beast, they can only be beaten passively, and they can't handle it at all. It was like a moving city wall, providing the most reliable protection for the First Army wherever it went.
Just thinking about it makes me excited!
The surrounding soldiers who were in charge of vigilance were already talking faintly.
But that's not the most eye-catching part of the train.
In addition to securing the front lines for the First Army, its ultimate goal is to destroy the Taquila ruins, as well as those skeleton monsters as tall as towers, so large-caliber artillery is a must.
At this moment, the two deadly weapons were placed on the second and fourth carriages.
Although it is still loaded with 52mm fortress guns, according to His Majesty, these guns have longer barrels and more charges. At this point, you can see the difference with your eyes. A gun takes up almost all the space of the entire carriage, and even a machine gun cannot be stuffed.
The rear of the gun barrel is also surrounded by a huge iron shell, which is even wider than the car body, so that even if the devil attacks from the air, the artillery fire cannot be interrupted.
The only thing that worries Iron Axe is that although this new enclosure design is extremely safe, it also adds a lot of weight and bulk, and it feels quite top-heavy. Especially when the artillery is fired, the direction needs to be adjusted. If the entire rotation is turned around, can the train withstand the violent impact of firing
"Report to Your Majesty," a soldier trotted to the king and saluted, "Everyone is ready, please order!"
"This is a weapon that has not yet been officially installed. Whether it is maintenance or improvement, it is the responsibility of the engineering department." Roland smiled and shook his head, "So it is not me who is in charge of the test today, but the minister of the engineering department. You should Report to her."
It was only then that Iron Axe noticed that the queen had also attended the test, but compared to other witches, her attire was completely a work uniform, so he didn't recognize it immediately.
"Your Majesty the King and Queen..." The soldier stammered a little, and he saluted Anna again, "All the staff are ready and ready..."
"I see," Anna replied peacefully, "let them start the test."
"Yes!" The reporter hurriedly shouted at the train, "Start the artillery!"
This little episode caused everyone to show a smile of understanding, but it did not affect the test in any way. As the password was issued, the alarm sounded resounding over the forest for a while.
"woohoo"
Iron Axe immediately turned his attention back to the train. When a crunch of the winch came, he was surprised to find that the car body had changed.
Two sturdy "iron feet" unfolded under the second and fourth carriages, and before that, he thought they were just insignificant baffles. It was not until it was fully opened that the iron axe realized that it was a set of machines that could operate alone. A flat iron plate was fixed at the end of the "iron foot", and even slightly propped up the carriage after falling into the snow, like a giant Spider's long feet.
This... Isn't this exactly what the Devil's Deformed Species look like!
Could it be that Bi got this inspiration from the enemy and used it in the new weapon
But no matter what, the pure metal combination looks not only without a trace of evil, but full of majestic momentum. When these iron feet were completely settled, the artillery finally pointed to the sky and made the first roar!
Amid the violent tremors and airflow, the black behemoth remained motionless, as if solidified with the earth.
…
It seemed that the effect was not bad. Roland took off the earplugs and nodded approvingly at Anna.
These subsystems have been tested many times before being loaded into the car. This time, it is just to verify the performance of the integrated system. It is not surprising that the first fire can be successful.
In fact, rather than the fire unit and power unit of the armored train, he valued the four support legs under the gun mount.
This can be regarded as the first practical test of hydraulic device.
According to Pascal's principle, the pressure on the airtight liquid is equal in all directions, so in the U-shaped tube with unequal cross-sectional areas, it only needs to squeeze the small cross-section with a small force to transfer a much larger pressure to the large cross-section. force. It is precisely because of the amplifying effect of this four-two-barreled jack that the hydraulic device has an extremely wide range of applications, from jacks with manual pressure to pump-controlled machine tools.
Its only difficulty lies in processing and sealing, but for the current Neverwinter City, there is no technical difficulty.
The train is equipped with a set of hydraulic support equipment controlled by an electric motor.
Two steam-powered locomotives push and pull to drive the body, and the ample power can enable the armored train to travel at a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour. Next are two artillery units. The turret is equipped with fifteen rounds of ammunition, so it is extraordinarily large. In the middle is the ammunition loading vehicle, which is also the power source of the whole vehicle. One Dawning No. 1 can meet the needs of two hydraulic pumps, interior lighting and ventilation.
These five carriages constitute a basic armored train unit.
If reinforcement speed is not pursued, new boxes can be added to the front and rear, such as a troop carrier or a sentry vehicle with more suppressive firepower. And this is also the charm of armored trains. By changing the trailer section, you can combine various tactical weapons.
Amid the endless exclamations of admiration, Edith walked over to him with a smile.
"In this way, the most important part of the plan for attacking Taquila has been made up," she said while rubbing her chest. "Don't you know that this new weapon has a name?"
Roland pondered for a moment, "Just call it Heihe."
"Heihe?" Edith rolled her eyes, "corresponding to the bloodline of the devil?"
As expected of the Pearl of the North, he couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, "... That's right."
In the area that the red fog cannot cover, the devil once carried out thousands of criss-crossing red fog blood lines to maintain the needs of the frontline outposts. texture. And now, there will be another lifeline of another color on the fertile plains.
A dark armored train will be carrying personnel and ammunition, cruising in the vast desert plains, forming a new long black river.
