Chapter 566： Warhammer

Just as the cut wooden sticks and the smashed stones replaced the claws and teeth, the original sword and individual martial arts will inevitably be replaced by steel-built guns. In this unstable world, the war goes hand in hand, and Survival, inefficient personal force must, and must give way to an efficient war machine - this is the objective law of the development of things.

Gao Wen does not know whether every world follows such an objective law, but at least he can be sure that the world follows such a law.

Even if there is extraordinary power in this world, even if the superpowers of this world have the power to move mountains and reclamation, this principle will not change. The extraordinary people who move mountains and reclamation will be able to move mountains with higher efficiency. The sea machine was replaced, and this was decided on the day when the first hunting stick was sharpened.

He looked at the chariot in front of him with amazement, as if he saw another era stretching in front of the chariot's crawler.

Rebecca, Hetty, Phillips and Nicholas eggs are with him, and everyone (and the ball) is equally focused on the chariot.

The idea that Rebecca came out after the advent of the magic car - the installation of a cannon in the car - was finally realized, and it not only contained a cannon, but also installed the armor plate and shield generator.

This tank, which can barely be called a "tank", is not the same as that originally designed by Gao Wen. It is very different from any tank he understands. It has no inclined armor and the main body of the whole vehicle. It is an almost square iron box. The tall iron box is spliced ​​with a large number of rivets and welding points. Each armor is nothing more than a thin steel plate. There are several tracks in the chariot and Gao Wen’s impression. The points are similar, but they are significantly more rough, and deep rune dents can be seen on each track plate - the earth element runes can reduce the wear of the metal plate and the ground contact, and slightly enhance the track attack on the element system. Resilience, it is said that this is a suggestion from a rune craftsman in the Hosman region; its turret is equally impressive, it is a trapezoidal iron cover, narrow and wide, the front end of the iron cover is open, two parallel The metal rail extends straight out of the opening, and the simple optical sighting device is mounted parallel to the metal rail and is located in the lower half of the iron cover.

Limited by the current technology, the main gun installed is the smallest "convincing" light rail gun, and it is also specially designed for the light-duty transformation of the chariot. The power naturally has a certain discount, but for the battlefield of this era. In fact, this thing is already a shredder that will move.

From the appearance, it is rough like a punk product, and it does not match the design concept of the tank on the earth.

All of its armor has almost no bevel and curvature; its armor is also very thin, and at some seams where rivets are connected, it can even be seen that its side armor is only a thin steel plate; finally, it is still in Gaowen It seems quite tall and a large turret.

These designs have greatly reduced the difficulty of manufacturing this chariot (which is one of the reasons why it can be built so quickly), reducing the cost of the chariot, greatly reducing its weight, and increasing the payload and interior space. But all this brings the obvious problem: its physical defense seems to be reduced.

In Gao Wen's original design data, there is the concept of slanted armor and low body, but in the final product, these two concepts have been abandoned.

In the beginning, he also made a lot of arguments for Rebecca and Carmel because of these changes, but in the end, he made a concession because he later discovered that this seemingly reduced defense design was actually It is the most reasonable.

At first, he gave the tank a strong physical defense ability according to the inertia thinking, and wanted to make the future chariots resist physical attacks such as shells and reduce the hit rate by increasing the armor angle and lowering the height of the car. But he ignored one point - the most powerful and only form of attack in the world that can threaten the chariot is magic.

The tank does not need to face the shells at all, and even the throwing stones do not have to be considered too much. On the battlefield, it is basically a small power projection weapon and a powerful magical attack - a small power projection weapon. For example, bows and stone bombs do not damage the armor made of thin steel plates. The magical attack of large powers, with inclined armor or curved armor, has no effect at all.

Powerful spells such as lightning, blasting, and ice whip can't "jump", and some spells with guiding effects won't hit the target because of the low body of the tank. The magic attack requires not to work **** the armor, but to build a shield generator in the chariot body.

And with the magic shield, even if the chariot encounters a powerful live ammunition attack—such as the shelling of another sibling tank—it also has a certain defensive capability, instead of compressing the valuable car of the chariot in order to resist the live ammunition attack. Inner space.

Under the guidance of this idea, the technicians of the Institute of Mechanical Manufacturing and the Magic Technology Institute abandoned the operation of “I don’t understand what is useful”, such as the bevel armor, and turned the chariot into such a square and person. Gao Mada's iron box, and in the increased internal space, stuffed into two sets of magic shields, and finally, created this thing in front of Gao Wen.

"We have tested it, its weapons and shield system work fine," Rebecca said cheerfully beside him, his face full of pride, "I said, in the car shell The two sets of shields are much more expensive than hanging a pile of inclined steel tubes, and the cost is still low, and the weight can be reduced... Your previous thoughts are just a good idea, not practical at all..."

Gao Wen, who was hit by the objective laws of the world, could not refute Rebecca’s words academically, but he could use his ancestor’s identity to knock on the brains of his little granddaughter, so he took Rebecca’s head with his hand: “I The previous idea was wrong, but who said that my previous plan was because it was good-looking?"

"Oh..." Rebecca screamed, but the next second was happy. "So what do you mean that the chariot we are making now looks good?"

I don't know how her idea jumped over.

Gao Wen did not take care of Rebecca, who had already taken care of himself. Instead, he looked up and looked at the punk-style "magic tank" and asked him with a question: "Is the final plan still used for the railgun?"

The egg of Nicholas floated over and made a squeaking voice: "The smallest type of rainbow light can barely fit on the turret, but it will almost 'eat' more than half of the energy of the power ridge. If it continues to shine, it must be parked in place. Short shots will also seriously affect the stability of the engine, and the heat of the rainbow light cannon is too large, continuous illumination for more than 30 seconds, the turret will become extremely hot, the frost runes can not be pressed down, the occupants can not stand - So in the end we chose the live ammunition. Although it is necessary to carry the shells, this is the only feasible solution."

Gao Wen nodded and looked at the production line behind the chariot: "How long does it take for mass production?"

The Nicholas egg sank a bit and said, "In fact... it will be able to achieve mass production in almost half a month."

Gao Wen was surprised: "So fast?!"

“Because it is completely “spelled” with the existing technology, and the production line is directly transformed with the production line of agricultural machinery,” Nicholas said. “The chassis is a general-purpose ii-type agricultural chassis, and the armor is basically An iron box spliced ​​with rivets and solder joints can be used for the existing welding work platform. The main gun has been mass-produced in the military factory production line. As for other internal devices, the technical content is not high."

Gao Wen slowly nodded, and the iron ball star said that it is really reasonable.

He thought that he wanted to build a tank. At first, this seemed to be an unreachable goal. But after the magic guide car was built, the light rail gun was built, and various agricultural machinery were successfully developed, the tank was already unconsciously. Ready.

Even in the history of the earth, the first tank seems to be the same thing that puts the ready-made technology together and knocks it out.

In front of this rough prototype, one day it may develop into something high-precision, but now it is really an iron shell on the tractor chassis, and a gun on the iron shell. So simple...

With such a simple thing, it is enough to deal with the challenges that Cecil will face next time, and outside of Cecil... it is also "highly sophisticated".

“Achieve mass production as soon as possible after the final test, how much can be made before next summer,” Gao Wen said to the Nicholas egg, and then turned to Phillips on the other side. “Choose a higher talent in magical machinery and driving. The soldiers, the task of training the first tank soldiers will be handed over to you."

After Nicholas Egg and Philip each led their lives, Gao Wen looked at Hetty again: "You are responsible for the budget."

Hetty: "...Yes."

Cecil’s big housekeeper wants to cry without tears – she dares to be dragged over to see “agricultural machinery” early in the morning, just to approve the budget.

But after a short burst of tears, Herti felt a bit of urgency and deep meaning from Gao Wen’s attitude: "The ancestor, do you think the crisis... will it break out within a year?"

"This is the worst situation," Gao Wen nodded. "It's already summer. - According to the temperament of the kings and nobles, they should be almost finished."

Heti looked at Gao Wen’s eyes and slowly nodded.

According to the original estimates of the ancestors, at the latest this summer, Ansu’s aristocrats will reach a consensus on the restoration of the magnificent wall, not because their efficiency can be calculated so accurately, but the situation decides of.

They must complete all the wrangling and discussion in the first half of the summer to ensure that enough manpower and resources are organized in the fall, to select the right representatives, and to follow the elves to the vicinity of the barrier to carry out the restoration works. It will take too long and the weather will When it turns cold, the team will need higher costs, and in the cold winter, all projects will become difficult. If the team is near the magnificent wall of the environment, if it is difficult to construct, it will not be able to establish a safe shelter camp in time. Then the losses that can be faced and the cost of engineering failure are unaffordable for any family.

"Whether they will eventually let me go to Ansu to repair the barriers, the Ansu civil war will temporarily stop during the time to repair the barrier, but they will not stop for too long - the repair and repair of the barrier Strong work takes about one to three years. Once this problem is solved, all the worries are gone, the civil war will restart immediately, and... absolutely definitely more violent, all the bottom lines and faces will be torn. By then, Cecil wants to stay out of the way and make money at both ends... I’m afraid it’s not that easy.”

Speaking of this, Gao Wendeng paused and continued: "So we must be prepared as soon as possible. Counting the time when the engineering team is on the road, the barrier may be repaired at the earliest next fall, and the safety margin left to us. The amount 'will not exceed the summer of next year' - it will take time to adapt to the running-in after the weapons and equipment are produced."

Listening to Gao Wen’s plan to accurately calculate every step, Hetty couldn’t help but bite his lip: “Is the situation really going to develop as you estimated?”

"In many cases, the plan is not allowed, the facts will always exceed your expectations, just like on the battlefield - it is likely that you have made more than a dozen plans, but when the war really broke out, it still depends on the commanders. Play, even rely on squatting up," Gao Wen laughed, watching Herti say, "But good decision makers still make plans, at least, there is a plan we have something to do, isn't it?"

Gao Wen himself knows that his analysis of the situation is only "analysis". Even if there is Gao Wen? Cecil's experience, satellite experience, and previous life experience, he does not dare to ensure that his analysis is accurate. But as he said to Hetty, at least... there must be a plan.

Herti bowed her head and said with a tone: "Yes, I understand."

Gao Wen nodded, then he turned to the prototype chariot, and his tone rose, and he said quite happily: "Okay, let us give this cold and hard big name a name -"

Every pair of eyes looked at him with anticipation, and he looked up and down the steel-built chariot.

Square armor, rigid lines, simple and calm shape, straight stretch of railguns...

To be honest, it is like a hammer.

"It's called a warhammer, the warhammer i-type main battle tank."
