Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

After readjusting his state, Chen Xin stopped worrying about genetic modification, and instead focused his energy on a few more important things at hand.

However, most of the projects need to wait for the completion of the construction of the scientific research base before they can be launched. The only thing that can be done is the research of military weapons.

The research and development of Titans and large vehicles is limited by the site. Chen Xin did not proceed immediately. Instead, he intends to wait until the scientific research base is built and the conditions are met before proceeding with the research and development work. Now he only intends to use the time before the scientific research base is built. , make a few exoskeletons and power armor matching weapons.

If it is just an exoskeleton, it is also possible to use ordinary weapons. Although the assistance brought by the exoskeleton is not very strong, it can at least allow soldiers to use heavier and stronger firearms and weapons with stronger recoil to play a more powerful role on the battlefield. firepower.

The power armor is different. If nothing else, the trigger of an ordinary firearm is designed with the thickness of an ordinary person's finger. You can wear a tactical glove or something, but if you wear a thick antifreeze glove, your finger It's almost as thick as a carrot, and I'm afraid my fingers won't fit into the trigger ring.

So weapons equipped for power armor should at least be enlarged in the size of the trigger.

More importantly, soldiers equipped with power armor are much stronger in both strength and load.

Under such circumstances, using ordinary firearms, they can even shoot an automatic rifle with one hand and keep the ballistic stability without holding and pressing the gun, so naturally they can also be equipped with a 12.7mm rotary barrel machine gun. A heavy weapon originally intended to be used with a vehicle.

However, the caliber of 12.7mm is still too powerful. Except for the main battle tank, it is difficult for ordinary vehicles, even armored vehicles, to withstand armor-piercing incendiary bombs with a caliber of 12.7mm.

Chen Xinke remembered that Yan Guo's weapons research department used a car to test it when designing the 12.7mm rotary machine gun.

Therefore, it is inevitable to design a firearm with moderate power that is more suitable for soldiers equipped with power armor as a common weapon.

After all, you can't always carry out a mission with a heavy machine gun that can tear ordinary people into two sections, right? That's too much firepower.

"If you want to design a weapon for power armor, what do you think it should be designed as Second Lieutenant Deng?" Chen Xin asked Second Lieutenant Deng with a recording board. At this time, Second Lieutenant Deng was testing the power armor made by Chen Xinxin.

This set of power armor was made by Chen Xinxin, using the prototype design that Chen Xin had already completed when he and Qin Lan made the power armor.

And Chen Xin has improved its power system, using the same small isotope thermoelectric battery as the exoskeleton power source, but the output power has been amplified a bit, and some adjustments have been made in terms of flexibility.

The whole set of power armor looks a bit like medieval knight plate armor, which is rather rounded because of the lack of edges and corners.

In terms of design structure, this power armor is actually the design of the exoskeleton packaging deck. As a whole, a set of exoskeletons are designed first, and then the armor pieces are installed on the skeleton of the exoskeleton.

Unlike the two sets of Chen Xin and Qin Lan, the internal structures of those two sets are more complex power armor skeletons, not just exoskeleton armor.

The reason why Chen Xin designed this way is not that he is reluctant to give good things to the military, but that he needs to consider the manufacturing cost and whether the manufacturing process can support the complex design structure.

Anyone who knows World War II knows that Hans military industry is known for its sophisticated design and high quality, especially tanks. Tiger, Leopard and King Tiger tanks are invincible on the battlefield, but the corresponding complexity is The structure and a large number of parts are not only troublesome to repair, but also very time-consuming to build.

Correspondingly, the T34 tank of Suvia has a simple structure and is solidly built. It is easier to repair if it is damaged. Even with the extensive maintenance style of Maozi, it can withstand the toss, and it is also easier to manufacture. Simple, even during the Battle of Stalingrad, there was a story of a T34 made by a tractor factory that drove into the battlefield without even painting.

By comparing the two, it can be known that simple, reliable and easy maintenance are very important for a country's logistics and armaments.

Chen Xin can certainly create technologically advanced, fully functional and powerful power armor, but that kind of thing is closer to a rich toy like the Iron Man suit, rather than a military equipment that can be deployed on a large scale.

In addition, the country is now mass-producing exoskeletons. Using a production line and using a large number of parts of the same specification can also reduce the investment in manufacturing and facilitate faster production.

Second Lieutenant Deng didn't feel much about this, and he was quite satisfied with the power armor on his body.

Although it is an action-feedback power armor, he did not feel any unresponsiveness. Basically, when his body moved, the power armor had already responded, and the efficiency was very good.

As for Chen Xin's question about weapons, Lieutenant Deng thought for a while and said: "I think it is necessary to have a stable and reliable automatic rifle, although I see many weapons in games or science fiction works are quite tall, what kind of electromagnetic , Gaussian, laser, etc., but it is still simple and reliable, and it is good to be able to continuously and steadily output firepower.”

Chen Xin nodded, not surprised by this, a good gun is not finished with high accuracy and fast rate of fire, but more importantly reliability and stability, otherwise the AK47 would not be the most productive firearm in the world. , even from World War II to the present.

"I understand, I will pay attention to this." Chen Xin recorded Lieutenant Deng's opinion, and then asked him, "Do you think there is any room for improvement in this power armor?"

"Everything is good, but our special forces will carry a lot of things when they perform missions. How can this power armor be loaded? Is it an external carrying device?" Second Lieutenant Deng asked a very critical question.

In various film and television works and video games, it is usually not considered how the characters carry materials. The former is for aesthetics and visual effects, while the latter has a versatile backpack space, and even the action of digging things is not required.

But it is definitely not possible in reality. Even Chen Xin himself made a silo behind his power armor. This kind of power armor for the military must have a place to put things, otherwise, ammunition and other There is no place to put things.
