v5 Chapter 55： Epee

Mr. Arendell wants to see the products of Cherry Military Industry and see the results of his investment with his own eyes.

As the chief designer, Fernando Donato knew that this was a time to test his job. He took out the latest epee rifle that he had improved.

"Compared with the previous prototype, the gun body is slightly smaller and the weight is greatly reduced. Its current weight is no longer a burden for the soldiers."

Ethan looked at the row of rifles named Epee before him. He found that the name was really accurate, and the thing seemed very heavy.

But for Ethan, this weight is nothing at all. He picked up the large rifle in front of him and observed it nearby.

The appearance of the epee looks very simple at first glance, it is a long rectangular box, but it is still beautified on this relatively simple and large frame: although it is an assembled whole gun, the various accessories are very clear. Even people who are exposed to this weapon for the first time can see the distribution of the modules that make up this gun at a glance.

"The modular design is convenient for soldiers to maintain, repair and even replace parts. When necessary, directly disassemble a few damaged rifles, and then assemble the intact parts into a gun. This rifle can still be used normally. ."

In the era where Ethan lived, or the era where the Marvel Universe is currently located, modularity has been a standard requirement for many weapon designs, but in the world of Team Galaxy, this is a very advanced weapon concept.

Of course, it was Annette and Serena who proposed this idea. It was with these advanced ideas that they successfully won the federal order.

"After further improvement, the current epee rifle can launch metal particles with a diameter of five millimeters at a speed close to the speed of sound, and can easily penetrate the outer shell of the insect, causing fatal and severe damage to its internal tissues."

The principle of the epee rifle is to use energy to push metal particles to shoot out at a high speed. The basic principle is actually the same as that of gunpowder weapons, but the energy used is different-including the basic principle of the Gauss weapon in StarCraft. The firing needle has not changed. The Gauss rifle that is fired uses electromagnetic propulsion.

The world of Team Galaxy has developed far in energy applications. Miniaturization is not difficult for them, and the technology that uses energy to promote is also readily available. What they lack is practical experience and some inspiration-long-term wars. Slowly stimulate this part of the inspiration, so the later human weapons and equipment have been rapidly evolving and upgrading.

Ethan chose the period when he had just started the war with the Insects. At this time, what the Federation lacked most was all kinds of inspiration, and they took advantage of this.

At this time, Ethan and the others do not even need to collect more advanced technology from other worlds. Using the existing technology in the Galaxy World, combined with their own ‘knowledge’, they can create a lot of equipment that satisfies the Federation.

Ethan observed that in addition to modularity and energy promotion, this rifle is actually all existing technologies in this world. What Annette and Serena do is just to combine some technologies and ensure that they can be normal. use.

At this time, Fernando Donato was still introducing Ethan's epee rifle.

"Because metal particles are used as ammunition, coupled with the size of the ammunition, the ammunition is very large, which is conducive to dealing with a large number of bugs. At the same time, we have improved the cooling system to ensure that the soldiers carry the ammunition on their bodies. Hit unprecedented in one breath, and this rifle will not be unusable because the barrel is overheated."

Ethan thought the cooling problem would be troublesome, but didn't expect it to be solved so easily?

Think about it, Galaxy Team’s technology is already very high. It’s just the development of weapons of war... It can’t be said that it’s gone wrong, it’s just that it’s not adapted to this battle with bugs. Most of the technology has been abandoned, and a new one needs to be reopened. The technology tree is so embarrassing.

Listening to the various data reported by Fernando, this rifle is already a very good mature work. Considering that it will be distributed to millions of infantrymen, with the current parameters of the epee rifle, even if there is nothing in the next ten years. Upgrade, I am afraid the Federation will always use this rifle as the main weapon and equipment.

If the epee rifle can continue to be upgraded to increase the bullet's firing speed to the speed of sound, it will be no different from the Gauss rifle in StarCraft.

In the face of this weapon, even if Ethan and their team members are equipped with protective clothing with energy protection layer, they dare not face the dense bullet rain straight line assault, because the energy layer of the protective clothing is destroyed before the enemy is killed. It broke.

As the explanation ended, several targets appeared in front of Ethan and the others, all of which were alloy steel plates. Ethan raised the rifle in his hand and pulled the trigger.

Ethan deliberately practiced marksmanship back then, and he is no stranger to firearms.

With the improvement of his mental power and physical quality, as well as the improvement of his control, he quickly mastered this ‘simple’ weapon.

After almost three shots, he figured out the ballistic trajectory of the epee rifle, and the bullets fired did not leave the head of the human-shaped target. Soon the heads of the targets of 10 meters, 30 meters and 50 meters were removed. Shattered to pieces.

"Good power!"

After testing for a while, Ethan nodded to Fernando with a look of satisfaction, and then made a look at Annette-such a good weapon, first got dozens of them in stock.

For those like Logan and Ada who like to use hot weapons to fight, they really need to upgrade their equipment.

Besides, this rifle is a little bigger in size, but its recoil is very small. It will not flutter around because of the recoil and ballistics during continuous shooting, so it is quite simple to use. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

If you cooperate with the various auxiliary aiming systems on your own protective clothing, you can harvest the enemy's life just like playing a game.

Ethan expressed his satisfaction. This is good news for Fernando. This means that his ability has been recognized by the sponsor. Considering that the company is already on the right track, it seems that he doesn't have to worry about his job for a long time.

Since the main idea of ​​the first-generation epee rifle was put forward by Annette, the founder of the company, although he is the chief weapon designer, there is no "personal copyright" on this weapon, so he does not have a patent right now. Fee' can be enjoyed.

As long as he can make major and excellent improvements to this weapon, he can get a share of the company's main product—for every epee rifle he sells, he can get a certain share.

The premise is that he can continue to hold his position as the chief weapon designer. If the big boss is not satisfied with his abilities, this long-term meal ticket may be far away from him.

"Apart from rifles, are there any new projects in the weapons laboratory?"

Ethan put down his weapon, while Nebula next to him was still holding a rifle to shoot. In this relatively closed weapons test field, the sound of the epee rifle was not unbearable—the sound of the rifle firing was not as good as a bullet. The sound of hitting the target is loud, which also means that the firearm will not cause damage to the soldier's hearing for a long time, which is another advantage.

It will not even affect the conversation between Ethan and Fernando. The chief designer heard Ethan’s inquiry and immediately listed the contents of several plans currently listed.

Including the design draft of the new all-terrain vehicle (still in the initial stage of conception); a new exoskeleton armor with good defensive power; individual heavy firepower equipment that can complement the epee rifle; it can be given to officers or adapted Small firearms used in narrow spaces.

"These directions have been set at the moment, but there are not many people currently, and most of our energy is focused on the transformation of the epee rifle."

This is also normal. After all, the epee rifle has already received an order. Before the epee rifle has been completely finalized and put into production and started to exchange for a steady stream of funds, those projects will definitely have to go back.

"All-terrain vehicles can be given up. Priority is given to the design and manufacture of exoskeleton armor after the epee."

Fernando heard the words and looked at the supervisor Edward Miller and the company owner Annette. This matter is not for him, and he doesn't know if he should listen to the behind-the-scenes gold master but Annie Te quickly stated: "This is also the company's decision. Our company has no advantages for all-terrain vehicles, and there are several other individual weapons..."

Edward Miller was recruited as a manager. He was more sensitive to these business issues and immediately understood why he had to abandon these projects.

Cherry Military Industry is not a top military industry group. The order for rifles is already at the limit. The boss is actively surrendering several other individual equipment markets to avoid being besieged by large groups.

Then, while other big groups are competing for other pieces of cake, first focus on the research and development of exoskeleton armor that the Federation does not pay too much attention to, so that when the Federation has a demand for this type of equipment, Cherry Military has a stable foundation. And there is a relatively mature product prototype.

"Sounds like a correct development idea."

As for whether the mysterious funder got any news, Edward and Fernando didn’t care. Their work was recognized anyway, and the next step was to try to make the company better and better. This is also to strive for a better one for themselves. treatment.

It is a good thing that the company has a clear development mindset. Since the boss has approved them, of course there is no reason to oppose it.

What's more, with the current R&D strength of Cherry Military Industry, it is not suitable to start multiple projects at the same time. It is better to focus on one item.

The specific details will certainly be discussed slowly after the fact, so there is no need to continue this topic now.

At this time, Nebula put down the rifle. After this period of test firing, through the body's "feedback" of the firearm that she is familiar with, compared with the state of using this weapon before, she has more of her current body. To understanding.

The improvement in physical fitness is very obvious.
