The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2261 Big Killer

As the name suggests, a chariot is a vehicle used for land combat. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, chariots pulled by two or four horses and manned by three armored soldiers were born. They were generally used to attack the enemy formation, thereby breaking through and defeating the enemy and winning the war.

At that time, chariots were a symbol of hard power. The "cheng" in the so-called "bai chariot family" was the unit of measurement for chariots. Just imagine, dozens or hundreds of chariots charging together, the momentum alone was enough to scare the enemy into a panic and cause them to be routed.

When kings had conflicts, they would always say to their opponents, "How many chariots do you have?"

If a family has a chariot, it is more prestigious than the big and small ones.
However, such a peerless weapon, the king of the battlefield, was eliminated just after it appeared in the Warring States Period and in the Qin and Han Dynasties, without even a scrap left.

The fate of the modern king of war, the tank, is also the same. It was born in World War I, flourished in World War II, and then...
It started to go downhill.

First there were anti-tank weapons such as anti-tank guns, anti-tank cannons, anti-tank mines, and various anti-tank methods such as anti-tank cones and anti-tank trenches. Then came armed helicopters, which opened cans of tanks from the air. Next, drones were developed to blow up tanks, turning the King of War into a little puppy that could be kneaded and squeezed however the other party wanted.

It has not yet exited the stage of history, but it has not yet found a better replacement, so it can survive and maintain its remaining dignity.

Long before the SADF was disbanded, tanks, armored vehicles and other combat vehicle units were basically on the verge of disbanding. Various unmanned machines were prevalent, and coupled with the terrifying power of high explosives, no armor could withstand a single shot of "Justice from Heaven". If they could withstand it, there would be a second shot.

By the TPC period, tanks and armored vehicles were temporarily brought out to fill the void due to insufficient armaments, but in battles with monsters and aliens, it was proven that tanks, armored vehicles and other slow-moving and inflexible equipment were just targets in front of them. They suffered heavy losses every time, and the results achieved could not be said to be zero, but they were minimal.

So Chiba Makoto doesn’t quite understand why the police department is working so hard to build tanks?
In response to Qianye Cheng's confusion, Staff Officer Quan Teng laughed and took the initiative to take over the conversation and said: "The basis of hot weapons is gunpowder, but in the hundreds of years after the invention of gunpowder, people used it as fireworks. It was not until someone stuffed gunpowder into bamboo tubes that gunpowder changed from entertainment to a weapon.

Traditional chariots are indeed outdated. People have already studied them thoroughly and invented too many weapons to deal with them. Gunpowder weapons are far from powerful enough to deal with monsters and aliens, and they are not flexible enough to avoid the attacks of monsters and aliens. However,
With a slight change of thinking, they can become a powerful weapon for human defense."

As Staff Officer Quan Teng finished speaking, the sightseeing car stopped steadily. Looking to the front right, one could clearly see a hideous-looking turret being lifted by a bridge crane.

Unlike common tank turrets, this turret being installed on the upper part of the vehicle is cylindrical in shape and does not have a slender gun barrel in the traditional sense. In other words, it is just a huge gun barrel.

Its diameter is almost as wide as the chariot's width. When placed on the chariot, it almost covers the chariot. Its length is even more exaggerated, almost twice as long as the chariot, so that a hydraulic lifter has to be installed at the front of the chariot to support the lifting of this huge gun barrel.

If we didn't know that nuclear weapons had been destroyed, people would probably mistake its shape for a log transport truck.

"This..." Chiba Makoto looked at the chariot with quite unbalanced proportions. It was like a small horse pulling a big cart. It really made people worry whether it would roll over or fall forward while running.

Looking at the production line next to it, it is also a highly automated assembly line. In such a large factory, there are few workers. Robotic arms of different shapes and forms are busy in an orderly manner:

Welding, cutting, installing, screwing. Using slow but orderly movements, a bunch of parts are assembled into such a huge gun barrel. However, the speed is extremely slow and it does not move for a long time. If it were not for the robotic arm working, one would have thought that the production line had stopped.

“Is this a Texas gun?”

Chiba Makoto asked uncertainly. There were not many laser cannons of this size in TPC. After all, the larger the size, the more difficult it was and the longer it would take. Among the mature technologies, there was only the Texas cannon that had undergone years of actual combat testing.

But the Texas cannon is installed on an airplane. The most well-known one is the Feiyan II. The image of the fuselage opening from the center and firing the Texas beam is so deeply rooted in people's minds that when people mention the Texas cannon, the first thing that comes to mind is the Feiyan II.

So the police department modified the Texas cannon used by Feiyan II into a tank?
What a genius!

This idea is amazing and quite unique. Only a person with a hundred holes in his head can come up with such a design.

"It's the new Texas cannon," said Staff Officer Quan Teng with a proud look on his face. "After being modified, it can be used on land combat equipment. Not only has its power not decreased, but it has increased by at least 30%."

".That's really impressive."

Thirty percent may not sound like a lot, but in the concept that improving a little bit means crushing the opponent, thirty percent is already the highest.

"Although fighter jets are flexible and fast, they also have disadvantages that cannot be ignored. That is, the requirements for launching an attack are extremely high. Not only do they have to hover in the air, maintain balance and remain still, but they are also easily affected by air currents, which can cause deviations."

This is true. Airplanes fly with the help of air, so they are naturally affected by air currents, especially low-altitude air currents, which are chaotic and changeable.

The battles with monsters and aliens often take place in mountainous areas. The air currents there are swirling. If drawn with lines, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mess. Flying in such a place is not much safer than dancing on the edge of a knife.

A laser cannon is not a missile that can chase the enemy in turns. The laser is shot out in a straight line. The farther the distance, the greater the deviation.

Book friends who have served as gunners on yachts know that even if the sea is calm outside, the boat will still shake to some extent, and it is impossible to hit the target without support.

Operations in the air are more difficult than on the sea, because the slightest air current can cause the plane to shake. Therefore, the selection of pilots has always been much stricter than that of sailors.

A fighter jet is not exactly like paper in front of a monster, but it's almost like that. It's impossible for it to get right in the face of the monster. In addition, the Texas Beam takes a long time to prepare, so if you want to use it, you have to be far away from it. If the angle is slightly off, the attack will miss.

But it’s different if it’s a tank. The solid ground won’t shake up and down or left and right, and the laser cannon won’t be affected by wind and other factors. You just need to aim. The highlight is its simplicity and brutality.

If you think about it this way, moving the Texas gun to a heavy tank seems to be a good idea.

but--

However, everything in this world has its pros and cons. The speed of an airplane is achieved at the expense of stability, and the stability of a tank is also achieved at the expense of speed.

If targeted by a monster, an airplane may be able to escape by relying on its speed and altitude, but a tank has almost no chance of escape.

Regarding this issue, Staff Officer Quan Teng also has something to say -

"Don't worry, these are unmanned combat vehicles."

"unmanned?"

"Yes, unmanned!"

Staff Officer Quan Teng said with great enthusiasm: "In the past, due to the underdeveloped technology, people could only go into dangerous areas, but now it is different. Unmanned vehicles can go to the sky and into the ground, and people no longer need to take risks." "So." Qianye Cheng raised his hand and pointed to the huge laser cannon vehicle that was being assembled, and said: "Your plan is to use a cluster of unmanned combat vehicles to deal with the monsters."

"Yes, unmanned driving can save a lot of space and can be used as a combat system. It can also faithfully execute all instructions."

Staff Officer Quan Teng was quite ambitious, like a child showing off his new toy.

“The premise is to ensure network security and smooth communication.”

Chiba Makoto felt a little headache when he heard the words "unmanned and automatic". In the normal world, these two words are synonymous with high technology and a symbol of development, but in the theater or in movies and TV dramas, they are symbols of "trouble and disaster". Just like what you oppose will be smashed to pieces, unmanned ones will be controlled and automatic ones will become enemies. This is almost becoming a law.

But Staff Officer Quan Teng still said confidently: "Don't worry, it's okay. These tanks will use a dedicated network, multiple encryptions, and have built-in safety locks. Once an abnormal signal is connected or the key verification error in the command is made, the tank will refuse the command. Even if the other party forcibly takes over, it will be locked immediately, leaving the other party with a pile of scrap metal."

"It sounds safe."

Chiba Makoto's knowledge of computers and the Internet cannot be said to be complete, but it is also relatively superficial, so he just wrote it down and planned to go back and ask Nori.

"True knowledge comes from actual combat, and soon everyone will be able to see their power."

Staff Officer Quan Teng raised his head slightly, his eyes full of determination, and he was obviously very satisfied with the cluster of unmanned combat vehicles in front of him.

Come to think of it, the power of the Texas Cannon is obvious to all. It has killed a monster with one shot more than once. Of course, there have also been cases where the monsters had thick skin and tough flesh and were not killed.

but--

As the saying goes, if one shot doesn't kill, then shoot a few more.

Right now, the police department plans to use multiple Texas beams to deal with the monster. Even if the damage is '1', as long as it accumulates, the BOSS with drops of blood can be killed.

Firepower first!

This is a belief passed down from the Defense Force era.

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it."

Chiba Makoto said this sincerely, looking around at the production line that was making a lot of noises, and said, "What else? This is not the only tank factory in such a large place, right?"

"Of course not," Staff Officer Quan Teng had obviously received instructions. He raised his hand and turned to the right, saying, "Please!"

Looking in the direction he pointed, there was a door.

After verifying the pupils and fingerprints, with a "click!" sound, the steel door, which was more than ten centimeters thick, slowly opened. The lights behind the door turned on one by one, revealing an extremely large space.

It was several times larger than the tank factory behind it, and it was so huge that it seemed as if there was no end to it. The space continued to extend forward as the lights were turned on, until dozens or hundreds of searchlights were turned on at the same time, revealing a huge streamlined spaceship.

"This is the most advanced technology of the police department - Prometheus!"

As the lights turned on, Staff Officer Quan Teng's voice rose, and he said in a rhythmic tone: "It is 150 meters long and weighs 1,920 tons. The two new Max power systems allow it to operate for a long time without supplies, without having to recharge from time to time like the Atlantis.

Two laser cannons and nine sets of three-dimensional close-range reinforcement equipment systems can fight against any conceivable external enemy. If fired at the same time, it is enough to destroy a city.

The new generation of artificial intelligence center it is equipped with has computing power comparable to that of TPC's main computer, and can make decisions faster and better than humans.

If a top pilot can do calculus, it can solve the Goldbach conjecture in a second."

"Uh"

Another empty one.

How much does the police department dislike humans? No one is around no matter how they build things. Aren't they afraid that the other party will control the server and then take down everyone else?

"That main gun, is it a Max gun?"

Although it was a question, it was said in an affirmative tone.

"Good eyesight," Staff Officer Quan Teng praised, "This is the latest developed new Max cannon. It uses new technology and can concentrate ultra-high temperature and high-density Max energy and release it all within a few seconds. Its power is enough to decompose matter into elementary particles. In theory, even the moon can't withstand this cannon."

"awesome."

Staff Officer Quan Teng was very pleased with Qianye Cheng's praise, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

However, what Chiba Makoto praised was not this cannon, but the strength of the police department, which even authorized the Max cannon.

You know, ever since the Atlantis blew up the Mechanical Island with one shot, the Max cannon has become the ultimate weapon comparable to a nuclear bomb and has been strictly controlled.

Whether it is manufacturing or using the Max cannon, the director's authorization is required. Even the Atlantis has added several "locks" to strengthen the use of the Max cannon.

Even the Kurak, known as the mobile fortress, did not carry the Max cannon, making the Atlantis the only one. But no one would have expected that the Police Department could actually produce a space battleship equipped with a Max cannon.

If this isn’t impressive, what else could be impressive?
Sometimes I am really confused. Is the headquarters on guard against or supportive of the police department?
If you say support, they are targeting everywhere and everyone is on guard; if you say precaution, even super-killer weapons like the Max cannon can be approved.

So is it still a balance?
