Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 590: Simple maintenance

In the past, the military would not have thought about melee combat.

Humans have been out of the age of cold weapons for hundreds of years, and melee combat in war has been decades ago. With the development of technology, human beings have become more and more out of face-to-face combat in war Out-of-sight strike.

Even in close line-of-sight combat, the use of firearms, artillery and other weapons is enough to kill the enemy when they approach.

In the past, the military's solution to this problem was a pistol. Soldiers were equipped with an assault rifle as their primary weapon to fight, and when the enemy approached, they used the pistol to fight in close quarters.

After all, in modern warfare, no one will equip ordinary soldiers with protective equipment such as body armor or armor, and the penetrating power of the pistol is enough to kill the enemy in front of them.

However, with the unfolding of the battle between humans and alien creatures, small-caliber weapons are simply useless for alien creatures, and they can't even rub their skins.

The result of this is the overwhelming disadvantage of humans in the close combat between humans and alien creatures.

Although humans can still kill alien creatures at close range with large-caliber firepower weapons, once alien creatures attack humans, ordinary soldiers are simply powerless to resist.

The jetpack developed by Chen Xin before solves some of these problems, giving ordinary soldiers at least one chance to regain the distance in close combat.

But this is a symptom, not a cure.

This is especially true for a large vehicle like the Titan, which is impossible to fly.

Even if Chen Xin can do it, the cost is still a big problem. With the technology and resources to make the Titan fly, doing something else can change the situation of the battle.

So Titans have to think about melee combat.

In the past, the general-purpose titan was easy to say in this regard. Adding a bayonet to the equipped weapon, or simply bringing a cold weapon like Chen Xin's white dragon, can solve the problem of melee combat.

Even if these bayonets and cold weapons are used for self-defense, they won't die so tragically, but they do solve the problem to a certain extent.

At least, in the event of an emergency, you can draw a knife to decide your life and death, instead of killing yourself.

However, the new type of Titan needs to face this problem. The removal of the arms and the replacement of weapons has indeed saved a lot of resources, reduced unnecessary structures, and made maintenance and production much more convenient.

But again, without the ability to grip with both hands, there is no way to equip melee weapons.

If it was before, this problem could be solved by means of infantry accompaniment. Anyway, the infantry and the tanks are coordinated, the tanks are coordinated, and the Titans are also coordinated.

But now... if the aliens break through to the front, the Titans can't stop the offensive, and the ordinary soldiers can only be added to the front, and can't play a big role.

Chen Xin, of course, had already prepared and considered this point. He signaled to the staff on the side that after they received Chen Xin's signal, they pushed out the melee weapons specially prepared for the new type of Titan.

That's a large chainsaw that matches the size of the Titan.

"When designing the new model Titan, I also considered the need to replace weapons to cope with different tasks, so the arms of the new model Titan are pluggable. You can replace the weapon with a new one.” While instructing the staff to replace the weapon of the test body, Chen Xin explained to the stunned military representative: “This is also for the convenience of logistical maintenance. If the weapon is broken, but the body is still intact, you can restore the combat effectiveness by replacing the weapon.

The melee problem you are worried about is also simple, just replace one of your hands with a melee weapon and you can solve this problem.

But generally I don't recommend doing this, because doing so will result in reduced firepower.

Of course, this is just a suggestion. How to configure the weapons is your military's business, so I won't worry about it. "

"What did Academician Chen say! The design of the new Titan is already very good. It is thanks to you, Academician Chen, that we can have such new equipment!" The military representative said sincerely to Chen Xin A sincere compliment, but at the same time, he did not forget to ask: "Academician Chen, how about the production cost and working hours of the new model of Titan, and how long will it take to adjust if the existing production line is changed? What changes should be made in the process?"

These are the real key issues. Whether a piece of equipment is easy to use depends on whether it is large enough to handle. No matter how useful it is, if you can only build one or two pieces, unless it is a nuclear bomb. It can solve the problem, otherwise it's all in vain.

"Please rest assured, the production cost of the new Titan is one-third lower than that of the general-purpose model. The parts adopt a more concise design, making it easier to produce, and the technical threshold is correspondingly lowered. There are more factories to produce these parts." Chen Xin brought a military representative to the new Titan and continued to introduce: "Because the structure is simplified and the modular design is adopted, it is also easy to maintain. a lot.

If there are enough parts, in the repair station at the rear, even if it is only by manpower, it can be assembled with spare parts in one day. "

"Can manpower use parts to make one in the repair station?" The military representative was completely shocked. Although he understood from Chen Xin's introduction that the structure of the new type of Titan is simple and easy to maintain ~IndoMTL.com~ I didn't expect it to be this far.

It's like someone telling you that there are enough parts to build a car for you at a garage, which is beyond your normal imagination.

"Theoretically yes, but under normal circumstances, key components, such as engines, airborne mainframes, etc., will not be spared at the repair station, and the damage of these components will still have to be returned to the repair shop at the rear. It can only be repaired." Chen Xin explained to the military representative.

Although the modular design makes maintenance easier, it is obviously impossible for Chen Xin to make a Titan in the field repair station in front of him.

After all, even if he reduces the production difficulty and cost of parts, the key core parts are still quite delicate things, and it is impossible to put them in the repair station for simple maintenance in the field.

Military representatives can also understand this kind of thing. After all, the simple repair station in front of the battlefield only plays a role in maintaining and repairing some minor problems. It is impossible to say that it can really play a role in major repairs. In that case, the repair station maintenance costs are too high.
