Chapter 317: Not Penetrated Deep Enough? Then Use the Equivalent to Make Up! (1/2)

"Oh my god! These bandits run so fast!"

Pulling out the bayonet from the corpse of the predator, the debtor standing on the trench glanced at the bottom of the slope in front.

I saw dozens of corpses lying crookedly on the mountainside below the high ground, as well as rifles and shovels dropped by the fleeing looters.

This is the high ground on the north side of Songlin Valley, and it is also the position of the Xiongya Thousand Soldiers.

Just ten minutes ago, the Death Corps, as usual, fired a round of mortars at the looters hiding here digging holes.

After being harassed by New Alliance mortars all day long, the looters hiding on the high ground were already used to it. They calmly lay down in the half-dug trench and waited for the sound of gunfire to stop before continuing to dig.

However, what they didn't expect was that when they raised their heads this time, they were faced with bright bayonets.

The looters who were digging fortifications never dreamed that the new alliance's few people would actually dare to attack their positions!

What they didn't expect was that as soon as the mortars on the opposite side stopped, these people came up to kill them.

Anyway, by the time they came to their senses, it was already too late.

The whistles of the charge and the shouts of killing rushed into their faces almost stepping on the still smoking bomb craters.

At this time, many looters were even holding shovels in their hands, and the rifles thrown on the ground were not even loaded.

The boy at the construction site and Brick jumped into the trench first, firing with automatic rifles in their hands, instantly causing a bloody storm in the narrow tunnel.

The raiders sent to dig holes were themselves the third-line fighting force in the tribe.

Although they followed Xiongya from the northern part of the river valley province to the south, they usually chased and fought others.

Where have I seen such a fierce fighting style!

Especially when they saw that the Centurion, who was an awakened person, was stabbed to pieces by several bayonets on the spot. The morale of the remaining two hundred people collapsed instantly, and they couldn't muster the courage to resist at all. One or two of them only hated their parents. He gave birth to two legs and ran towards the forest at the foot of the mountain in a panic.

In less than ten minutes, the battle was over.

Kakarot raised his binoculars and glanced to the north. The looters' defeated troops had already escaped into the woods to the north of the highland.

"...Reinforcements are expected to arrive soon. Judging from the information from the Air Force, Xiongya and the others seem to be stationed in a mountain col about five kilometers to the north."

Liability Big Eyes said with a smile.

"Are there still a thousand of them now?"

"I don't know, the organization of these marauders is weird. A team of ten may have twenty people, and a team of thousand may not necessarily have exactly one thousand people."

The boy and Brick at the construction site looked at the edge of the water and paddled.

"Captain, what do you say?"

Edge Paddling said with a smile.

"What else do you need to say? Plant explosives!"

"Didn't the brothers of the Burning Legion say that they would destroy the dens of these beasts? We must not let down the high expectations of our friendly forces."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something again, and then added another sentence.

"By the way, take back the rifles, shovels, earth-moving carts, and sacks containing soil that they left behind, and we will confiscate them!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed evil smiles.

"okay!"

After burying the T and T in the predator's trench, Brother Bing quickly led his men back to the southern hilltop before enemy reinforcements arrived, and got into the anti-gun cave without saying a word.

After waiting for a full hour, the artillery from the opposite side arrived belatedly and fired several rounds of 100mm artillery towards their position.

When the shells landed on the players' positions, except for a few rotation players who were still online, the other players were already lying down and offline.

Even dinner was finished in reality.

The raiders who had abandoned their positions and fled, encouraged by the sound of cannons and threatened by the bear's teeth, returned to the high ground.

However, what surprised them was that the New Alliance people not only picked up the weapons and ammunition they left behind, but also dragged away shovels, carts, and even bags for soil.

The entire position was stripped bare, and even the corpses were dragged together, poured with fuel, and burned. They didn't even have a hair left.

Who is the predator? !

Due to the lack of tools, they could only wait for supplies to be delivered from behind, while biting the bullet and collecting materials locally, or simply digging with their hands.

And when the predators returned to the trenches, with a series of explosions, their nightmare really began...

…

North of Shuguang City.

In the weapons testing site.

A scrapped Conqueror 10 tank was parked in the middle of the open space.

The twisted steel had been deformed, only three pairs of road wheels were left, a big hole was opened in the chassis, and the entire car body was completely black.

Previously, the Thousand-man Black Snake Team drove this tank to the northern suburbs to fight the autumn wind, but the ammunition rack and fuel tank were blown up on the spot by a "reptile" four-legged robot carrying a bomb.

Afterwards, the tank was dragged into the industrial area and repeatedly disassembled and studied. After the last bit of value was squeezed out, it was thrown to a weapons testing site as a target.

At this moment, Chu Guang was standing at the edge of the shooting range with Vanus, reviewing the latest anti-armor weapons developed by Goblin Technology.

According to battle reports sent from the front line, the Marauders have begun to learn to be clever and are thinking about converting light trucks into anti-aircraft cards.

Although the Goblin Corps' air force, with the cooperation of the Burning Corps, had taken down the Marauder's factory, Chu Guang didn't think they would put all their eggs in one basket.

Those predators will definitely be more careful in the future.

They may even move the factory from the surface to the underground.

The predators have obviously realized that without reliable anti-aircraft weapons, their tanks can only be live targets on the front line.

And without the protection of armored units, they must pay multiple casualties to take Qingshi County back from the hands of the New Alliance.

Before the tanks of the Ya clan go to the front line, the New Alliance needs more and more effective anti-armor means to cope with the ever-changing battlefield.

"Equipment No. 1 begins testing."

"Received!"

Hearing the manager's order, Mosquito waved his hand, and the player with the ID called God of Killing immediately trotted to the edge of the shooting range.

Half-crouching behind the shooting bunker made of sandbags, God of Killing skillfully took out the recoilless gun barrel in the box, unfolded the folding bracket and completed the installation.

Loading, aiming, opening the safety...

The whole set of actions is smooth and seamless.

With a bang, thick smoke and armor-piercing shells rushed out of the launch tube together, dragging a column of smoke to bombard the tank a hundred meters away.

The moment the missile hit, the left side of the tank's armor exploded with sparks and smoke.

"It's a hit!"

Seeing this, the soul chaser who was waiting on the side shouted first, then immediately ran forward to check, and then shouted excitedly.

"It's penetrated! It's penetrated!"

The other life professional players standing by and watching couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"Awesome!!"

"666!"

"This is too cruel!"

Many of these players are newcomers who just came in the Beta version. Because of their "special skills", they were recruited into Goblin Technology by Brother Mosquito.

I have always heard Mosquito bragging on the forum before, and now I finally saw it with my own eyes.

Of course, there are also big players who disagree.

"What's so great about blowing up a piece of junk?"

"This tank looks like it's only at the level of a T72."

"That's exaggerated. It's at the peak of World War II at best. I don't even see any reactive armor. An RPG can penetrate it in minutes."

"What nonsense! The Tiger has this kind of defense? It's obviously composite armor, okay!"

The two little players quarreled over the performance of the tank.

But this was just a small episode.

Chu Guang, standing aside, looked at the wreckage of the Conqueror No. 10 not far away with a satisfied smile on his face.

But due to his majestic personality, his smile was not very obvious when there were many people.

There was only one person with a heavy expression in the entire shooting range.

That was Vanus.

As a former centurion of the legion, he knew better than anyone the true strength of the Conqueror No. 10 tank.

He just shook his head and poured a basin of cold water.

"It's useless."

"This is the twelfth experiment."

"Even if it penetrates, it doesn't mean anything."

Although I couldn't understand what those people were shouting, I didn't need to understand their cheerful expressions. He could guess with his toes what those people were happy about.

A scrapped tank.

It took twelve rounds to penetrate it, and it was the side armor.

As long as the infantry and vehicle-mounted machine guns around the tank were not just for show, there would be no chance for them to fire so many times on the battlefield.

Mosquito obviously realized this problem.

After the excitement passed, he scratched his head in confusion.

"It's unscientific..."

"This armor is too tough!"

Benchmarked against T72?

T72 is not that tough.

Before the improved model came out, the side armor was only 80mm.

What's more, they used hollow charge armor-piercing shells.

Without N shields, explosive reactive weapons, and grilles on the side, not to mention the old Russian T72, even the M1 and Leopard II would be scared. Especially for the Leopard II, where the ammunition rack is placed in the body, if there is a pencil-sized hole in the left front, the head will be blown off if you are unlucky.

In order to improve the armor-piercing ability, Mosquito even sacrificed the effective range. While maintaining the propellant unchanged, the weight of the III warhead warhead was increased by 1.5 times.

At present, this model is named tandem armor-piercing projectile by him. Although the range is quite touching, only 150m, the maximum penetration depth on the vertical plane has reached an astonishing 400mm!

The side armor of this Conqueror No. 10 tank does not look so thick, and there is no reactive armor on the outside.

Mosquito thought about it and only thought of two possibilities.

There must be a bug!

It is definitely not his problem anyway!

Listening to Mosquito's mumbling, Chu Guang relayed his confusion to Vanus standing next to him.

After listening to Mosquito's confusion, the latter gave a very concise answer.

"...The main tank of the Legion is the Conqueror No. 5 light tank. When dealing with general mutant creatures or survivor settlements, the armor is generally not very thick. The Conqueror No. 10 heavy tank was designed with forces with certain industrial capabilities such as the Great Rift Valley and the Enterprise as its imaginary enemy."

"Composite armor, positive pressure three-defense system, low dependence on electronic devices, and sustained combat performance... These are all key points in the design."

"Especially the armor. The body armor of the Conqueror No. 10 has a special ceramic and fiber interlayer between two layers of homogeneous steel, and the surface of the interlayer is also protected by a lightweight, high-temperature resistant porous material. After the metal jet of a general armor-piercing projectile penetrates the first layer of homogeneous steel, it will diffuse along the surface of the interlayer in the second layer, causing the jet to quickly lose focus."

"It is meaningless to simply discuss the thickness of the armor. The metal jet of the armor-piercing bullet cannot break through the second layer at all. If it is an original and undamaged Conqueror 10, it may not be effective even if you fire ten rounds of armor-piercing bullets. It is better to use hard-core armor-piercing directly. , maybe it’s easier to wear.”

As we all know, once the metal jet loses focus, it is like the muzzle of a water gun connected to a shower head, and the armor-piercing ability directly returns to zero.

Defeating opponents with sufficient numbers and relatively cheap costs has been the Legion's consistent strategic thinking. The purpose of the existence of the Conqueror 10 tank is not to surpass the Rift Valley armor in terms of performance, but to increase the cost of destroying the opponent.

If any infantryman with a recoilless rifle and a black gun can destroy a tank, the flood of armor will be meaningless.

The reason why it was able to penetrate on the twelfth shot was largely because this tank had been placed here as a target countless times.

Maybe the metal jet of the armor-piercing bullet has filled the "diversion gap" on the surface of the sandwich!

Chu Guang was not discouraged by Vanus' answer, but just smiled lightly.

"It's okay. We can't deal with Conqueror 10. It's okay to bully light and medium vehicles. What's more, the armor-piercing projectile is blocked. We have other methods."

Vanus asked curiously.

"Oh? For example?"

Chu Guang looked at Mosquito.

"Let's start testing Equipment No. 2."

Seeing the manager talking to him, Mosquito nodded quickly.

"okay!"

It is reasonable for the customer to be dissatisfied with the power of Equipment No. 1, and he himself is not very satisfied with the power of that thing.

But it doesn't matter.

He designed two countermeasures for Conqueror 10, and using tandem armor-piercing shells with greater penetration was only one of them.

If you can't wear it, blow it up!

The tank wreckage at the shooting range could no longer withstand the second tossing. Mosquito took Chu Guang and Vanus to the testing site of the No. 2 weapon.

A reinforced concrete fortification was built on the bare land. The entire fortification imitated the shape of a tank, simulating the structure of the vehicle body and road wheels.

Vanus said nothing after seeing this thing.

However, when his eyes fell on the aluminum alloy bracket behind the shooting bunker and the six-rotor drone on the bracket, he was stunned for a moment.

"This is……"

Before Chu Guang could say anything, Mosquito standing aside had already introduced him with excitement.

"This is the No. 2 equipment created by our Goblin Technology for conquering tanks - the 'Switchblade' suicide drone! Of course, I would rather call it a 'flying anti-everything IED'!"

Vanus looked confused.

Even after watching the simultaneous interpretation on the VM, he didn't understand what this guy was saying.

But the mosquito itself wasn't meant for him.

There is only one person who really has the right to make decisions and place orders to purchase arms, and that is the manager standing next to him.

He just needs to lick this one and feel comfortable, that's enough!

"...The six-rotor structure ensures maneuverability! The solid-state hydrogen battery is powered to ensure endurance! Due to the aerodynamic design of the casing, it can fold the rotors after locking the target and perform unpowered gliding! We have improved the unmanned aerial vehicle The machine’s motor output power can even reach a maximum load capacity of 15 kilograms!”

"15 kilograms of load! Hehe, if it is all used to carry mixed explosives, its explosive power can even be comparable to two 155mm rounds in series!"

"We have designed two warheads for the switchblade, which can be installed on the top of the drone's head or hung below the drone to swoop to attack the top. Since the rotor is foldable, our switchblade can not only take off and land on the ground, but also can Ejection or airdrop.”

"To sum up, this thing can be used against both armor and infantry. It is very useful!"

The entire drone is roughly equivalent to an enlarged version of the Y-1 Firefly. The motor is produced by the Lister Factory, the carbon nano design is completed by the scientific research team, and the control program is Xiaoqi's masterpiece.

As for what Goblin Technology has completed, it is mainly aerodynamic design and warhead design.

Compared to a portable drone that can be stuffed into a backpack, the shape of this "switchblade" is more like a common plant protection drone in the agricultural field.

After finally reading the translation on the VM, Vanus looked at Chu Guang with a strange expression.

"So...this thing is equivalent to a drone with a remote-controlled bomb strapped to it?"

Chu Guang was quite satisfied with the shape of this thing and said with a smile.

"is it not OK?"

Vanus was silent for a while and gave an uncertain answer.

"It's not impossible, it's just that the conditions are extremely harsh."

"How harsh?"

Vanus replied carefully.

"Only under certain circumstances can the kinetic energy of explosives be concentrated on the armor surface. If you just throw the bomb up... a ten kilogram warhead may not be enough."

Generally, the shock wave of explosives spreads in all directions, and if you want to achieve the armor-breaking effect, the kinetic energy generated by the explosion must be transmitted to the armor surface as much as possible.

And the contact surface needs to be as small as possible.

If you just throw the bomb up, ten kilograms of explosives will probably only scratch off a little paint, unless it is a monster like metallic hydrogen with an explosion speed of 24,000.

As for the "solid hydrogen" independently produced by the new alliance?

The power is far different.

Chu Guang didn't care about Vanus' suspicion and just smiled happily.

"...So as long as certain conditions are met, a ten kilogram warhead can also paralyze Conqueror 10, right?"

Vanus nodded.

"The only weakness of the Conqueror 10 is the chassis, which is the weakest part of the car body armor. But you can't expect to be so lucky every time. You can take advantage of the surrounding infantry to break the tracks and stuff explosives under the chassis. Explode.”

Chu Guang did not speak, but waved his hand, indicating that Mosquito could start.

Seeing the manager's actions, Mosquito immediately trotted excitedly to the side of the launcher and drove away the God of Death who was about to operate it for him.

Why would he let others have this opportunity to show off in front of the camp leader NPC?

"Let's drive, let's drive!"

The God of Death was immediately unhappy.

"Damn! Didn't you agree that I would test it?"

Mosquito continued without blushing.

"I said I wanted you to test the armor-piercing bullets, but I didn't say I wanted you to test the switchblade. Listen to me, brother, this equipment is very difficult to operate. I'm afraid you won't be able to control it, so just let me do it!"

"x-on:#%￥!"

This is not a fixed wing, it is extremely difficult to operate!

The God of Death cursed and walked away.

After driving away the little brother standing next to the launcher, Mosquito directly connected the drone with VM and synchronized the drone camera image on the screen.

Target locked!

Route setting completed!

emission!

As the button was pressed, the drone lying on the launcher bounced out of the launcher like an arrow off the string.

The propeller roared, and everyone watched the drone speeding along the ground. In an instant, it flew hundreds of meters away and plunged directly into the crotch of the concrete tank.

With a bang, the flames of the explosion shot into the sky, and the thick smoke instantly jumped twenty or thirty meters. It actually lifted the concrete fortification from the ground and exploded into pieces!

The dust cleared.

Only a crater more than ten meters wide was left on the ground and concrete debris scattered around.

Even the steel bars inside the cement were blown to pieces, and no one was found intact.

The people watching on the sidelines all dodged the falling dirt and stone chips.

But Vanus, who was standing next to Chu Guang, was motionless, and everyone was dumbfounded.

A drone carrying a remote-controlled bomb drilled into the crotch of a tank?

Can you still play like this?

No matter how you think about it, the cost of drones and remote-controlled bombs is much cheaper than those anti-tank missiles.

"pretty!"

Chu Guang, who clenched his fists, couldn't help but shout "Hello".

Although it is a target made of concrete, it is so powerful that even a real tank would not be easy to drive out of the smoke of the explosion.

Looking at the mosquitoes coming this way, Chu Guang coughed slightly and said with a serious expression.

"I'm very satisfied with Plan 2. It would be nice if the maneuverability could be stronger!"

"I plan to purchase 100 aircraft and require them to be completed within a month. Can I do it?"

As soon as the mosquito heard this, he immediately patted his chest and made a vow.

"Don't worry, respected manager, Goblin Technology never disappoints its customers!"

Chu Guang looked at Vanus, with a hint of showoff in the smile on his face.

"How? Is this powerful enough?"

Vanus' Adam's apple moved, his eyes straightened and he nodded.

"...Maybe? If your drone can fly over without being shot down."

This thing is powerful, but its speed is not as fast as missiles and artillery shells. The noise from the propeller is also a big problem.

But in terms of power alone, even he couldn't fault it.

Anyway, if he was asked to drive a tank, he definitely wouldn't want such a shot under his butt.

After all, even if the tank can hold it, the people inside can't!

Chu Guang looked at the concrete wreckage not far away with a happy smile on his face.

"Don't worry about this issue. We will have at least 100 switchblades by the end of the month, and our enemies will only have twenty or thirty tanks at most."

"Even if it's 10 drones for one of their tanks."

"We definitely make more money!"
