Chapter 395： disciple

According to the data in the column on the right side of the image, the entire robot is 11 meters high and 3 meters wide. The lower limbs are equipped with all-terrain suspension and hydraulic buffering equipment. The cockpit is designed with bulletproof materials and can be frontally protected against machine guns below 30mm. The main armor It can resist the following howitzers. Even when facing armor-piercing warheads, as long as the key components are not hit, it is difficult to completely paralyze the giant combat robot with the file number "1a4789" and the scientific name "Disciple".

The attack method of the land warfare robot is a bit special. Its weapon system is not ordinary grenades, high-explosive shells, kinetic warheads, guided missiles and other conventional weapons, but high-energy lasers.

The three tentacles on the head of the "disciple" are completely composed of zero-element polymer, with strong energy conductivity, high toughness, and can rotate 360 ​​degrees and move up and down. The rhombohedral crystal in the center of the claw-shaped structure at the tip is also composed of zero element polymer. However, compared with the zero element polymer on the tentacles, the purity is higher. The micron-sized element particles are arranged closely and orderly under high pressure. A high-permeability concentrating crystal, combined with gain and resonance devices, can highly polymerize high-energy photons to form a bundle of laser beams and release them.

The giant combat robot is flexible and fast. It not only has strong lethality against mechanized infantry and light vehicles, but can also burn through the armor of most main battle tanks within a certain period of time. If it cooperates with the battlefield data link network, or installs a scanning and locking system for flying targets, it can pose a powerful threat to light air targets such as fighters and armed shuttles.

To put it bluntly, the "disciple" is an all-purpose land weapon that integrates infantry killing, vehicle destruction, and air defense. Of course, there is no such thing as perfection in the world, and disciples also have their weaknesses. First, the cost is high. This thing is not a low-quality contraption where there is money on the shelf of outpatient gifts for both sexes. Not to mention precision instruments such as energy, gain, and resonance devices, even the planetary army that consumes ordinary elements cannot afford it.

Second, the body is too big. The body size is intended to be large, and it is easier to become the enemy's key care object. indeed. A single tank, fighter plane or something is not enough to pose a threat to it, but what about groups of tank brigades and fighter planes? Also, the high-energy laser of the "disciple" can burn through the main battle tank, but it does not mean that it can harm space battleships.

In this age, the actual armor thickness of the main battle tank with Chobham armor varies according to the type, structure, and material of the warhead from the attack, and its protective ability is equivalent to-homogeneous rolled armor. But in the field of space battleships. Because of the armor casting technology of Epsilon Technology, the actual armor thickness of the Longsword-class frigates of the Star Alliance is about about, but if converted into homogeneous rolled armor, the highest can be astonishing. What does this number represent? 9 meters thick pure steel plate!

This is just a 120-meter longsword-class frigate, and the strong bow-class destroyer, the Tomahawk-class cruiser, and the King Kong-class battleship above. How terrible should they be? The "disciples" cannot break their armor, but they can easily lock the "disciples". Therefore, once naval ships participate in a ground war, the fate of the "disciples" can be imagined.

third. cooling problem. It is true that the "disciple" can be said to be an epoch-making research result, a new product that inherits the past. For the first time, high-energy laser weapons have been miniaturized to land warfare units, and are not used for anti-missile, communications, interference, and small-scale experimental strikes as before, but are truly weaponized and put into actual combat. In time, mass production of this weapon is not impossible.

However, it's like a shipboard laser cannon. Heat dissipation is a big problem. In the space environment, the shipborne radiator array can provide a powerful heat dissipation effect. However, how to dissipate heat on a relatively small land vehicle like the "disciple" is a big problem. According to the introduction on the pda. Through the joint development of multiple scientific research departments of "Iga Industry", the problem of this century has finally been solved by compressing the huge heat dissipation system into an array of particle heat dissipation furnaces and fixing it on the back of the "disciples".

It is true that the new heat dissipation system solves the combat endurance of the "disciple", but the attack speed of the "disciple" is limited by the heat dissipation per unit time, and cannot carry out high-frequency continuous attacks. Therefore, this giant combat robot is not suitable Fighting alone and acting as the main attacker in the advancement of the Army Group is a good choice.

The above is the relevant information obtained by Tang Fang from the pda data.

"It seems that the scientific research department of'Iga Industry' still has a few brushes." Tang Fang couldn't help but nodded. According to the content of the research and development log in the pda, the development idea of ​​the "disciple" weapon system was derived from a large-caliber weapon system. Remains of the Ypsilon ground vehicle of the laser cannon.

Combined with the development schedule on the last page of the R&D log, the test model of the "Disciple" came out 6 months ago, and is now undergoing evaluations in terms of combat effectiveness, defense capabilities, and adaptability, and based on information feedback, we will improve its soft, Hardware system.

In the official database of "Iga Industry", the "disciples" are absolutely s-level files, and their R&D, manufacturing, and evaluation processes have always been paid attention to by corporate executives and even the board of directors.

War weapons like the "Disciples" are not like the "Phantom" tanks, "Lei King" tanks, and "Wildfire" tanks that Tang Fang saw at the "Galaxy" Armament Research and Development Center in Crotan. If defects such as durability are deemed worthless by the evaluation team, the entire R&D plan will be abandoned.

In the Star Alliance, weapons designed by different military enterprises have different styles, just like "Iga Industry", which can be described as a pillar enterprise in the field of combat robots, just like the defense encountered by the administrative division of the main port of "Rockia". The robot is manufactured by "Iga Industry". Such as the "Rover Technology Consortium" has high attainments in quantum computers and various types of chips.

Of course, in terms of space battleship manufacturing, because it is jointly developed by the R&D department of the military industry enterprise and the scientific research department of the Star Alliance, the difference in style is not that big.

Let's talk about "disciples". As a result, this giant combat robot can be regarded as the facade product of "Iga Industrial". Once it is successfully developed, it will become a banner of the enterprise. As long as it is supplemented by appropriate advertising, it is bound to be "Iga Industrial" in combat robots. The influence of the field is pushed to the extreme.

Second, the most critical. And most importantly, the success of the "Disciple" R&D program represents technological progress. Laser weapons extend from the cosmic battlefield to the ground battlefield, and are more compact, practical, modular, and efficient. To put it bluntly. The "disciple" is just a step and a cornerstone. In the future, "Iga Industry" will build on this basis step by step, develop more practical and powerful weapons, and occupy the entire laser weapon market.

To sum up, "Iga Industry" has spent a lot of money on the research and development of "Disciples", and it is absolutely impossible to discard it, one day. "Disciples" will appear on the arms purchase order of the Star Alliance government.

"'Disciple'...'Thor'...Tsk, tusk, tusk." If one day "Disciple" and "Thunder God" appeared on the battlefield at the same time, what kind of picture would it look like? Suddenly Tang Fang had a very vicious thought, and there was one more sentence.

"Son, be good, shout'Dad' to listen."

But I don’t know how such a secret weapon manufacturing process fell into the hands of the Chief Executive? Recalling the previous conversation with Clement, he thought of Junichi Fukui, the poor child must have spent a lot of thought to get this information, but it was a pity. It's cheaper for yourself. "You deserve it!"

No wonder these data materials can unlock the evil bat and Thor... Tang Fang flew the data crystal card casually, and took advantage of the opportunity to grab it in the palm of his hand. Immediately afterwards, his eyes narrowed and tightened: "Fukui Junichi, what should I do with the information in it? Should I use it myself... or sell it back to "Iga Industry"? Would you say that the old guy Mitsuta Iwashita will be angry Go crazy?"

"Ding Dong!" Just when Tang Fang was wondering whether to open the mouth with a lion, and Yin "Iga Industrial" handed it, there was a ringing bell from the door. He put away the data card and turned his head to look. Johnny's face appeared on surveillance.器内。 In the device.

He smiled slightly, as if he had known the merchant was coming, and straightened up. He said casually: "Please come in."

"Huh!" The security door opened, and Johnny walked into the room alone: ​​"The people outside are busy with porridge. You pour it out, sit here and have tea." The businessman said. Go to the single sofa on the left and sit down.

"I know why you are here." Tang Fangyi didn't let tea, and he didn't treat him politely.

"Hmm...you know?" Johnny stunned. For a long time, as if thinking of something, he shook his head helplessly: "You guy, you are a thief, I can't hide anything from you."

Tang Fang smiled faintly, took a sip of tea from his teacup, and did not reply.

"Brother Tang, I advise you to think twice. This is not a trivial matter..." The businessman looked worried.

"Needless to say, I have decided."

Johnny's complexion changed and he persuaded again: "Don’t think too much, brother Tang, I’m not here this time from the position of the manager of the “Rovers Technology Consortium” in the “Rockia” office, but as a friend. I’m here to persuade you. Although I don’t know the specific purpose of your large-scale purchase of mineral resources, there is no big problem whether it is used for metal smelting or mineral trade. Only ship manufacturing, the water in this industry is really good. It’s too deep, so deep that even people in the industry like me are terrified. Brother, listen to what I said, don’t get involved in it."

"Huh?" After hearing what he said, Tang Fang couldn't help frowning. Before Johnny entered the door, he had already guessed the purpose of the businessman's visit, but what he didn't expect was that Johnny was here not to take a corporate stand, but to visit as a private person.

The idea of ​​forming "Morning Star Casting" was born after he killed Junichi Fukui and Clement. When he first came to "Jakartapur", he did not mention it to Johnny.

From the point of view of the manager of the "Rovers Technology Consortium" in the "Rockia" office, knowing that he is going to form "Morning Star Casting", Johnny's first consideration should be the subsequent transaction between the two parties and "Morning Star Casting" The impact on the Star Alliance ship market after completion. Unexpectedly, the businessman came to persuade him in his personal capacity for the first time.

To be honest, Tang Fang was a little surprised and touched.

The water in the arms market has always been mixed, and he knew this well. If a foreign organization wants to gain a foothold in the Star League, but also has to reach out into the field of arms, you will know how many difficulties and resistances it will encounter in it.

Johnny's concerns were reasonable, however, there was one thing he did not consider. The depth of the water, that is to the dwarf, what if the guy who is flowing is a giant?

How did Johnny know that the political storm staged by the Jakarta Burr star system was nothing but a piece of rubble that Tang Fang casually threw into the center of the lake, knowing that it was behind him. There is also an entire quarry.

"My brother's kindness is appreciated, but this matter..."

How could Tang Fang's illocutionary words fail to hear Johnny? On the one hand, he felt helpless. On the one hand, he was worried about him again, and the old face fell in love with the stick face of the chef. There was a change: "Oh, without mentioning the hurdle of start-up funds, sales are still far away. Just talk about the most basic problem in front of you, where can you recruit reliable personnel? Can't you rely on the mud of'Garuda'? Is it the master of the wall? It may not be a problem to scold the streets, but asking them to calm down and engage in business and production activities is not so difficult."

"This is only one aspect. People and everything are soft resources. Also, for hardware foundation, do you have a site? Do you have equipment? Even if the main product of "Morningstar Casting" is civilian-class ships, you can't make the industrial base Isn’t it built in deep space? Strongholds and large-scale pirate groups will become your major hidden dangers, but if you rent the “land” of the Star Alliance government, then you will inevitably be involved in the maelstrom of local and even central political struggles. As for production equipment In terms of it, do you know how much manpower and material resources are needed to build a dock-type space station, and how long does it take? In addition, there must be a certain technological strength, of course. I believe you are not lacking in core technology, but you must maintain A large shipyard operates. From the procurement of raw materials, to processing and manufacturing, to assembly and molding, and then to quality inspection and performance evaluation, the total number of workers required can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands."

"Not to mention dealing with the relationship with upstream and downstream cooperative enterprises. Beware of malicious framing by peers and maintain a good relationship with the government."

"Have you thought about this? Have you thought about it!" Seeing Tang Fang expressionless. Drinking tea without hurries from start to finish, Johnny grew more and more angry. The more he talked, the more anger he got. He was kind enough to persuade him to consider it carefully, but the person involved was scornful, with a stubborn expression wishing to "knock your earwax on your face".

It was Tang Fang who was at a loss. To change someone else, the merchant had already flown over the soles of his shoes, and he didn't bring such a person!

"Have you heard what I said? Think about it, young people, don’t take it for granted. It’s good to be motivated, but society is dark, the situation is complicated, and people’s hearts are unpredictable. Before making a decision, you must We must first investigate the situation, figure out the situation, and think carefully..." Johnny patted the table and said for a long time. His voice went from high to low, and his mood gradually recovered. He suddenly realized one thing, one A thing that he ignored in a state of anger.

Throughout the series of large and small events that occurred after the Morningstar entered the Jakarta Burr star system, the "Rover Technology Consortium", "Iga Industry", the small pirate group, the local government, and the navy, in just over a day, "Luo The situation of "Kia" is changing rapidly and the tide is raging, but what did the guy on the other side do? He didn't move like a mountain, and he saw a trick. Anyone who played with him didn't have a good end. After a big battle ended, the treatment, prestige, and benefits were full.

Indeed, the idea of ​​forming "Morning Star Casting" was his temporary intention, but combined with his past performances, God knows what little abacus he was making in his heart. Opposite this seemingly lazy, terrible young man who is too strenuous to move his **** is really true. Be shrewd, definitely more slippery than the old fritters in the parliament.

Thinking of this, Johnny was like a jammed machine gun, all of a sudden.

Tang Fang gently blew away the tea gathered in the cup, and looked up at him unexpectedly, "Huh? Why don't you say it?"

Regardless of whether the cup in front of him was used by anyone, Johnny picked it up and drank half of it in one breath. Then he put the cup on the coffee table without saying goodbye, and got up and walked to the door.

This time it was Tang Fang's turn to be puzzled: "Huh, what are you doing?"

Johnny looked back at him angrily, and dropped a sentence: "I shouldn't have come!" After speaking, he turned and continued on.

When Tang Fang was happy, he winked at him: "You have a lot of ideas, or... Don't be the office manager for the'Wanderer', and learn how to cook with meJohnny A black line in the forehead: "Can I think you are digging the corner of the'roamer'? "

"It doesn't matter..." Tang Fang raised his hands and made an innocent expression.

"You guy!" Johnny sighed and walked out of the room without looking back.

...

Due to the cooperation of the Xinggang government, the relevant declaration and approval procedures of "Morning Star Casting" were extremely fast and smooth. After Radu Khan, Addison and others signed the lease contract, they bid farewell to Tang and took the express shuttle. Go to the invisible place of the "Garuda" Pirate Group and gather the men.

After planning what Walton and Joey would do next, they worked with Dalton, Gardner, and the interim chief of "Rockia" Washington and others, and the Morningstar submitted an application for departure early the next morning. , Sailing out of the Jakarta Burr Star System.

Johnny guessed right. Tang Fang is not the office lords who drank tea and flipped through newspapers, and his **** decided the way of thinking. Now that he made the decision to form "Morning Star Casting", he already had a general outline of development in his heart. (To be continued)
