The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 95 This freakish mecha designer should be shot!

"Wait a minute, speaking of which, don't these mechs have any ranged attack capabilities?"

After examining them, Andrei discovered that these mechs were a bit strange.

He searched for a long time but couldn't find any cannons on the mechs. After careful observation, he finally vaguely found the cannons in the palms of the two huge mechanical arms.

I don't know what this design is all about. Is it trying to emulate Iron Man?

Moreover, looking at the structure of these two cannon barrels, he felt that they didn't look like proper cannons at all; the shapes on them seemed completely different from those of normal cannons!

Compared to the palm cannon, these two mechanical arms look even more exaggerated. They consist of three giant iron claws, each about the length of a person, forming the main part of the mechanical arms. When the iron claws are put together, they can vaguely form the structure of a drill bit.

So what is the attack method of this thing?
A close-range palm strike, or these three iron claws for hand-to-hand combat?
Goodness, he was dumbfounded. Why do the mechs in this world have melee combat capabilities?
But then he thought about it again, and after glancing at the bayonet of the Black Hawk Empire's Dauntless mech, he immediately stopped talking. They were all the same, weren't they?

Besides this structural aspect, Andrei also saw a huge round shield on the back of the mech, which seemed to be able to be removed by the mechanical arm and then placed in front of him.

Damn it, what kind of medieval-style mecha is this?
Upon seeing this, Andrei could no longer contain his urge to complain and whispered to Yelena beside him, freely criticizing the design of the mecha.

Seeing Andrei's enthusiastic expression, Yelena rolled her eyes in annoyance.

She now completely believes that Andrei lost his memory after being hit by the cannon, and he is completely dazed and a different person compared to before.

Otherwise, if it were the old Andrei who advocated romanticism and dreamed of being a poet all day, he would never have done something like talking to a girl about the flaws in mecha design, not even his childhood friend!
However, recalling Andrei leading his troops into battle, Yelena's face suddenly turned slightly red for some reason.

Although she was terrified that Andrei might be shot dead at any moment, she had to admit that Andrei looked like a hero back then, and the way he charged forward with the soldiers while holding the flag was so cool.

"Yelena, what are you thinking about? Are you listening?"

Seeing that Yelena was still in a daze, Andrei waved his hand in front of her and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

While he was busy criticizing the mecha, Yelena gradually became distracted, and then, for some reason, suddenly blushed!
Hiss—! Could it be that my flirting skills have improved since I transmigrated? Or is it that flirting skills in this world have decreased by 100 times compared to Earth?
Thinking of this, Andrei couldn't help but rub his chin.

Talking about mechs can make a girl blush, so if we actually say a few cheesy pickup lines, wouldn't we seduce her completely?
"Oh? No, nothing, I was just feeling a little sleepy!"

Seeing Andrei's thoughtful expression, Yelena blushed even more. She quickly waved her hands and then asked:
"Wait a minute, Andrei, what did you just say to me? I didn't hear you!"

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask, how was this mech designed? It doesn't seem to have any long-range attack capabilities. Why is this thing so strange?"

Andrei repeated his question, then pointed to the mecha and said:

"You know I have amnesia, so I don't remember much about what that thing was like. But since it didn't fire at us when it was standing on the hillside, I guess it doesn't have any long-range artillery capabilities, right?"

After observing carefully, Yelena nodded. Although understanding mechs wasn't exactly part of a nun's duty, she was, after all, a medical nun who would be on the battlefield, so naturally there were some things she needed to know.

"Indeed, this thing was named the Burner by the Cambrian Empire, and it was designed from the beginning as a melee-only melee machine!"

"The two mechanical arms, together with the shield, are its main means of attack. The shield, along with the shoulder armor of the mech, is a defensive measure used to withstand enemy artillery fire and to quickly approach the enemy."

"In addition, this thing has two coaxial grenade launchers mounted on the side, and a flamethrower is also installed inside the robotic arm, which can be used to assist infantry in assaults."

After listening to Yelena's introduction, Andrei couldn't help but roll his eyes and casually remarked:
"The designer who created this thing is probably mentally unstable; he should be shot!"

"Is he mistaking this for an ancient infantry charge? What's the point of that big shield? And what about the flamethrower and all that? Couldn't he just replace it with two cannons?"

Yelena blinked, recalled the rumors she had heard, and then said:
"I don't know the specifics, but it's said that the mechanical arm's buffer device was inadequate and couldn't withstand high-intensity artillery fire, so it was replaced with these two flamethrowers."

"At least if you aim this thing at the enemy's mech observation port and spray it in, or keep burning it, it should be able to burn the people inside alive, right?"

Andrei didn't want to say anything more about that brain-dead designer; he simply pointed casually and said:

"So, since the robotic arm can't withstand high-intensity artillery fire, why doesn't he just mount the cannon on the back of the mech?"

"When you need to fire artillery, just lay the mechs down, set them up, and fire the cannons from their backs. Isn't that much better than this messy setup?"

Right!

Upon hearing this, Yelena blinked; she also sensed that something was wrong with this thing.

"...Okay, you're right, the design of the Burner mech is indeed pretty brain-dead!"

Thinking about it this way, Yelena couldn't help but feel a little tired, and she really felt sorry for the soldiers fighting on the front lines, as well as for herself.

Just as Andrei and his companion were busy complaining, he suddenly noticed that the cavalry officer on horseback and several other people were walking towards them.

After comparing their ranks, Andrei quickly jumped out of the car and saluted the officer.

He couldn't quite tell who had the higher rank, but he could see that the guy's rank on his shoulder had an extra line compared to Lieutenant Colonel Unere, so he was probably at least a colonel.

Seeing Andrei's serious expression, the officer paused for a moment, then laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying:
"Haha, Captain Vorontsov, you don't need to be so nervous, there's no need to be so serious!"

"Let me see our war hero. Back when you were in my class, you were just a spoiled brat who couldn't even finish your homework. I never imagined you'd become a war hero!"
