The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

156. Requirements of the Army

"A new type of frigate? I heard him say that it is a pulse-star light gunship. Our fleet really needs a long-range heavy firepower output ship." Tang Xiao said, "Are you moving so fast now?"

Qu Xuewen said: "In fact, if it is the research of the new spaceship of the Kushen civilization, the speed is already very fast. After all, this is the foundation of our civilization's science and technology library. But now it is mainly small spaceships, and the problem of size is still considered. , this is what Chi Lao insisted on. After all, our total population is so large, we cannot build a battleship and stuff the entire navy into it."

"I agree with this. It's not too early to show off." Tang Xiao nodded.

Qu Xuewen seemed to be avoiding him. This time, he didn't take him around. He went directly to the research institute's space port, and then left as if fleeing.

As Tang Xiao expected, there are still surprises waiting for him when he comes to the scientific research space station this time.

Only a light frigate was seen docking in the built-in dock, and the outer armor was uncovered to reveal the complicated circuits and electronic components underneath.

This frigate has a much smoother shape than the Hammer-class frigate, and it doesn't have that clumsy and stocky feeling, on the contrary it is quite beautiful. Of course, what is more prominent is a large turret placed above the hull. This turret has a square hole and a double-mounted layout, but the other side is a short and thick fire control and sighting system.

This shape makes this frigate look like a much enlarged infantry fighting vehicle at first glance.

Professor Chi Jianjun was waiting next to the spaceship with a group of technicians, and on the other side was a tall and mighty middle-aged oriental man who was at least a head taller than Tang Xiao and whose muscles almost tore his military uniform. Four or five people in military uniforms followed behind him.

Unlike the navy's dark blue uniforms, this group of people wore dark green uniforms and belonged to the army.

Seeing Tang Xiao approaching, Chi Jianjun pointed to this side and said loudly: "Hey, the manager is here, go find him. Don't keep pestering me!"

When the muscular man saw Tang Xiao coming, he immediately rushed over like a tank, speaking like Hong Zhong, "Manager! I miss you so much!!"

A drop of cold sweat dripped from the corner of Tang Xiao's forehead, and he was ready to push this guy away with force.

But the muscular man still knows how to measure, rushed over and stood in front of Tang Xiao, gave a military salute, and said loudly: "Manager! Army Commander Xiao Guanghua is reporting to you!!"

Xiao Guanghua was an elite commander selected by Tang Xiao when he established the Army of the Fourth Civilization. He is currently the commander-in-chief of the Army of the Fourth Civilization. Tang Xiao didn't have many options at the time, so he chose Xiao Guanghua who seemed very reliable.

Because in his resume, he was a soldier who climbed from the bottom to the position of regimental commander step by step, relying on his illustrious military exploits through hard work. What Tang Xiao likes is his down-to-earth.

However, compared to the terrifying title of commander-in-chief of the army, the army of the entire Fourth Civilization has now expanded from 500 people when it was founded to 1,200 people, and there are no heavy vehicles except for a few jeeps.

In addition to training, the daily tasks of these armies are training, or they are to exterminate some large and dangerous animals that threaten the town. Finally, there was a pirate mission, but in order to avoid suspicion, Tang Xiao sent out all gnolls. Now Xiao Guanghua probably couldn't sit still.

Seeing his enthusiastic eyes, Tang Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Do you still want to be a pirate? There is no such job right now. Ni Yongxiao's operation against the black sun has not made any progress, so there is no place for you for the time being." The brethren under you are moving their muscles and bones."

"Manager, I came to see Professor Chi mainly for other things." Xiao Guanghua said: "Look, the navy's warships have been changed from generation to generation, and one after another has been built, but mine is still the same. I am using an old 21-style assault rifle. This kind of rifle is difficult to hit some large carnivores. You know, some beasts on the Dawn planet are simply indescribably powerful, and I really don’t know how they evolved.”

When he spoke, he habitually twitched his muscles, like a bodybuilder, leaving Tang Xiao speechless for a while.

"Changing clothes... I remember it was on the agenda before?" Tang Xiao glanced at Chi Jianjun.

"The M-8 Avenger Assault Rifle has been researched and started to be reinstalled. The main reason is that we need to use the universal tool in the same system, so we have completed the research on the M-8 by the way." Chi Jianjun obviously liked it. Xiao Guanghua's beating chest muscles were a little frightened, and he took two steps back to answer.

"Ah! Listen to you, manager! Our army's stuff is by the way!" Xiao Guanghua raised his hands and puffed up his biceps and shouted loudly, "I also know that the navy is the main force now, but our The army also needs it. I have been using these light weapons all the time, and if there is a need, I won’t even fire the tanks!”

"I think about it, the MNLAV-21 Pathfinder-class light attack vehicle, and the long sword surface-to-air missile, these things can also be equipped for the army. Don't worry, whether it is the next battle against the black sun The army will be needed for all operations on Tatooine. Your equipment will be ready gradually." Tang Xiao smiled and patted Xiao Guanghua on the shoulder.

"It's settled!" Xiao Guanghua said loudly.

"The same series of M-8 assault rifles also include a series of weapons including sniper rifles and shotguns, which will soon be included in the production range." Chi Jianjun added, hiding behind a technician.

After finally sending Xiao Guanghua away, Tang Xiao pointed to the frigate in front of him and said, "Pulse star light frigate? How about it, is it ready for mass production?"

"Mass production should be fine, but I need to remind you that this kind of frigate does not have the ability to fight alone. They are equipped with a miniature short-wave ion cannon, each shot lasts for 0.4 seconds, and the cooling time is 1.12 seconds. Shields and light armor can cause considerable damage, and the maximum range is 15,500 kilometers, so they can hide in the middle and rear of our battleship formation." Chi Jianjun said.

"How can such a large turret be miniaturized?" Tang Xiao said, pointing to the large gun hole, which was nearly 20 meters long and more than 3 meters thick.

"As far as the principle of this short-wave ion cannon is concerned, it is indeed a miniature. I checked the science and technology database records of the Kushen civilization. This ion cannon is the main gun installed on battleships after the technology matures." Chi Jian The army replied.
