Warhammer: Empire Reboot

The three-layer force field flashed continuously.

The first layer blocks the debris.

The second layer can withstand the light laser cannon.

After a brief reinforcement of the third layer, it can withstand a simulated anti-armor missile.

The vehicle shook violently.

Xiong Da did not fall.

However, the speed decreased significantly.

Lawson looked at the data and made no attempt to hide the problem.

"This thing absorbs firepower."

T-001 said, "Yes. The size cannot be reduced too much. If it is reduced, the bear guards will not be able to ride it, and the weapons and force field will not be able to be maintained."

“Then we’ll admit it will attract fire,” Lawson said. “Designate it as a heavy assault platform, not a reconnaissance motorcycle.”

Xiong Da completed the first round of test drives and rode the motorcycle back to the test track.

He jumped out of the car and looked down at the fastening buckle on his breastplate.

Lawson asked, "How do you feel?"

"Fast. Hard enough. That felt good."

"shortcoming?"

"It's a sharp turn. It doesn't work in narrow places. When I drive, my mind is too busy."

That's very accurate.

The data eye on T-001 is flashing.

"Boss, I request that swarm intelligence be used in a second trial."

Lawson turned his head.

"You even connected to a navigation system?"

"Yes. The vehicle was originally designed with a swarm intelligence interface. The first round of test drives was purely driver-controlled, with only basic stability features connected. The second round of tests will enable swarm-assisted navigation, battlefield path planning, fire control prediction, force field angle adjustment, and group formation synchronization."

Lawson's eyes lit up.

Xiong Da got back on the bus.

This time, he integrated with the swarm intelligence navigation system.

The lights in the test field dimmed.

The test route was changed to a complex terrain simulation.

Abandoned tanks.

Air defense firing positions.

Moving target.

Low-lying barriers.

Simulated building area.

Three high-speed unmanned target drones.

The heavy motorcycle started up again.

The changes are obvious.

In the first round, it was like a brick flying at high speed.

In the second round, it seemed to come alive.

Before the vehicle accelerates, the rear attitude nozzles have been pre-adjusted.

Before entering the curve, the outer force field slightly contracts, and the anti-gravity ring distributes thrust in advance. The heavy motorcycle does not force a tail swing, but instead cuts into the next section of the course along the arc calculated by the swarm.

The turning radius is still large.

Physical limitations exist.

However, it was more than 30% shorter than the first time.

More importantly, Xiong Da no longer focuses a lot of attention on manipulation.

Swarm intelligence handles the route for him.

His job was simply to charge forward, select targets, absorb the impact, and smash the enemy at close range.

The weapon systems have also changed.

The heavy artillery on both sides no longer fires blindly, but instead uses swarm fire control to lock onto enemy air defense nodes.

Missiles were launched ahead of schedule to suppress distant artillery positions. Plasma melt jets automatically fired short bursts as they swept over the armored formation, burning through the tops of three simulated armored vehicles.

A high-speed unmanned target drone attempted to approach from the side and rear.

The swarm intelligence directly marks it to the other side of the gun group.

Xiong Da didn't even turn around.

The heavy explosive cannon turned and fired three shots in a row to destroy the target drone.

The final test involved an assault on a fortified target.

The simulated target is a reinforced gun emplacement.

During the first test drive, Xiong Da chose to crash into something in a straight line.

This time, the swarm navigation allowed him to first ascend to 400 meters, bypass the frontal fire, and then dive at Mach 1.4 to cut into the weak point above the side of the gun emplacement.

The impact field is activated.

The adamantite struck the horn.

boom!

The outer armor of the gun emplacement was blasted open, creating a huge crack.

At the moment of impact, Xiong Da was ejected from the fixed frame. The heavy armor anti-gravity module ignited briefly, and he fell directly into the crack like a cannonball.

The warhammer crashed down.

The simulated bunker core has been determined to be destroyed.

Looking at this scene, Lawson finally showed a satisfied expression.

"now it's right."

T-001 said, "After the swarm intervenes, the vehicle no longer relies on the driver to handle high-speed information alone. The Bear Guard is responsible for power, impact, and close-combat destruction. The swarm is responsible for path control, fire control, and shield deployment."

Lawson nodded.

"Like a shark in the air."

The first test drive was a reckless and chaotic experience.

On the second test ride, the heavy motorcycle was still fierce, but it was more precise.

It is no longer just a flying battering ram.

It will bypass frontal fire, bite the flanks, tear through the defensive line, ram the fortified positions, and throw the bear guards into the places the enemy least wants to be torn apart.

The tactical value of this type of force is clear.

On open battlefields, launch high-speed assaults on enemy artillery positions.

On the scorched earth surrounding the capital, they quickly traversed contaminated and ruined areas.

In low-altitude battlefields, hunt down armored formations, heavy firepower nodes, demon engines, and pirate convoys.

In amphibious operations, they are deployed from transport ships or low-orbit orbit as the first wave of heavy assault forces to seize air defense positions or the perimeter of railgun emplacements.

It is not suitable for close-quarters urban warfare.

Not suitable for narrow cabins.

Not suitable for Spirit Chaser light aircraft.

But the battlefield never needs one weapon to solve all problems.

What Lawson wanted was a heavy assault team capable of rapidly deploying the Bear Guards.

He looked again at the heavy assault motorcycle.

"What's your name?"

T-001 replied: "Currently codenamed T-Heavy Low-Altitude Assault Anti-Gravity Motorcycle Type 1."

Lawson remained expressionless.

"Don't give things names like that in the future."

T-001 paused.

"Please name it, Boss."

Lawson looked at Big Bear.

Xiong Da also looked at the vehicle, his eyes full of liking.

This thing is big, hard, fast, and powerful enough to ram into enemies; it can even throw bear guards into the face of an enemy.

It's really hard for Xiong Wei not to like him.

Lawson thought for a moment.

"Flying Bear".

Record T-001.

"Flying Bear Type Heavy Anti-Gravity Assault Motorcycle".

Lawson said, "The first batch will consist of three hundred vehicles. Don't rush to mass-produce too many. Let Xiong Wei test them first to optimize the steering, force field, fire control, driver's mount, and swarm navigation interface."

T-001 stated, "Production resources can be handled by the Agrippina III Heavy Vehicle Plant. Each vehicle consumes the equivalent of one-third of a light gunboat. The force field generator is the main bottleneck, and the consumption of refined gold rams is relatively high."
