A round of salvos from steam tanks filled the canyon with smoke.

When Ning Zhe saw the collapsed mountain and the smoke-breathing steel creations, he felt a sense of enthusiasm: "I used to only know that the chaebol had large ships and cannons. Although we cooperated with the chaebol and got some equipment, but They are all defective products eliminated by the chaebol, and they are almost scrapped, I never thought that one day we can actually manufacture this kind of equipment."

"Indeed, the torrent of steel is the sharpest sword that the chaebols rule the world! No one has ever been able to match them before. If you want to fight against the chaebols, the first thing you must pursue is equality of force." Hu Yihan looked at Zhou Gong beside him: "We What is the performance of this steam tank?"

"It took us two years to build the current prototype after continuous transformation and upgrading. The firepower of this tank is six times that of the chaebol tank. In addition to four artillery pieces, there is also a steam cannon, and The equipment that I am most satisfied with is the steam gun it is equipped with!"

While Zhou Gong was speaking, he picked up a special band walkie-talkie invented by Steel Egg: "Start the steam gun!"

"Bah—"

The steam tank let out a sound of decompression, and was instantly enveloped by a burst of steam, and a circle of white mist like a long dragon sprayed out from the outside of the car body.

Zhou Gong introduced: "This is a way for steam tanks to defend against infantry charges. It can emit steam exceeding 300 degrees Celsius within three seconds, and swallow enemies who dare to approach with hot steam. Whether it is to defend against the impact of engineers, Or charging the array of enemy infantry, it will have a strong effect."

"What about the speed?" Ning Zhe looked at the huge size of the steam tank and asked, "Compared with the chaebol's tank, how fast is our tank?"

"Speed ​​is a shortcoming. The top speed of chaebol tanks can reach 60 kilometers per hour, but our tanks are too large to speed up. The top speed can only reach 40 kilometers per hour, but the armor is chaebol tanks. three times."

Zhou Gong continued: "In addition to being bulky, our tanks have other disadvantages, mainly because of the different engines. Our tanks are powered by steam engines, because there are many pipes in the internal space, and the rest of the space is too narrow, so There is no way to install the unit that determines the pressure function of the boiler. At present, the commander of the tank can only judge the pressure of the boiler through the sound of the boiler, the sound of the pipes, and the accumulation of steam clouds around it.

Determining the degree of pressurization of the steam boiler is a very delicate project. Except for the artillery, all parts and operations of our tank need to be completed with steam pressure. More instructions, more choices in battle.

Correspondingly, the higher the pressure of the boiler, the greater the risk of rupture. The rupture is still a trivial matter, and it will be troublesome in case of an explosion. In the past two years, we have had three steam tanks explode due to excessive pressurization. The worst one, All that was left was a cloud of steam-covered metal fragments.

At present, we are optimizing the interior of the steam tank. Compared with the fuel engine, the steam engine still has some disadvantages, especially the boiler hand is a high-risk industry. Once an accident occurs, it is inevitable to be killed or steamed. And Due to the excessive noise of the steam tank, the vibration and noise generated when firing and driving will also make members feel uncomfortable.

The research and development of a weapon often takes many years to adjust and perfect. As for what kind of effect our steam tank can play in actual combat, it is still unknown. It is precisely because of this that we have never proposed Application for overproduction. "

Ning Zhe looked at the steam tanks being practiced on the playground, and asked sideways, "Isn't Steel Egg able to solve these problems?"

Zhou Gong shook his head: "Steel egg has artificial intelligence, and it also has some knowledge theories of the old world, but it is not an omnipotent god. The most important thing is that the machinery in the old world is mainly fuel engines. Steel egg There is also little knowledge of the steam field, so I can't help in this regard."

"The engine and noise can be improved slowly, but can we improve the speed?" Ning Zhe expressed his thoughts: "On the battlefield, tanks and armored vehicles are the priority targets, and the distance between tanks There is a big difference between the battle and the infantry. It is really difficult to stop this kind of machinery with infantry alone. Once both sides dispatch tanks, the war will escalate, and the lack of power will affect the situation on the battlefield.

Our tanks can't keep up with the speed. When the infantry gains the advantage, it is difficult to pursue the enemy. Once our army is defeated and the tanks are left behind, it is difficult to entangle with the local tanks. Although our tanks are powerful , but once encountering kite-flying tactics, our tanks are not opponents at all, especially in desert terrain, enemy tanks will consume us with their flexible mobility. "

Hearing what Ning Zhe said, Zhou Gong nodded and explained: "We have also considered what you said, but the disadvantages of steam machinery are large size and slow speed. In terms of power, it is really difficult to compare with fuel oil. machine, the only advantage is that the power of the steam engine is stronger, and it can be equipped with stronger armor. Definitely not an opponent, so we decided..."

"Boom!"

The second round of firing from the steam tank has already started~lightnovelpub.net~ The loud explosion covered Zhou Gong's words, but Ning Zhe heard what he was saying, and suddenly opened his eyes wide.

After the sound of the cannon, Ning Zhe was about to ask Zhou Gong a question, but Shangguan Xiaohu had already walked to his side: "Brother, the time is up, we have to return to Liberty City to attend the welcome ceremony."

Ning Zhe looked at his watch and said to Zhou Gong: "Zhou Gong, I am very interested in what you just said. I will make a special trip tomorrow afternoon to talk about this in detail with you. When the time comes, you will The steel egg is also called!"

Zhou Gong responded: "Steel eggs may not be able to participate. Recently, we organized a scientific expedition team to expand beyond the control area to find resources. The various ores we have here before are all stored in the old world. Although The reserves are still sufficient for a period of time, but these things still need to be prevented before they happen."

Ning Zhe nodded and said: "Jin Qinhuan is now at a critical moment of comprehensive development, and resources cannot be sloppy. The participants are determined by the scientific research center, but we must find some professionals to come. I want to get all the information."
