Fantasia of the Sky

Chapter 977 New Weapon 2
Huanmeng was listening intently to the soldier's explanation—however, she felt something was wrong when she listened to it, and then it became very wrong, quite wrong; she tried to control her emotions, but the look of surprise was still on her face. It appeared on the screen—the battle scene described by the soldier was no longer what she had imagined.

In Huanmeng's impression, people on the surface should fight with muskets as the main weapons of soldiers, large chariots and tanks as the main offensive force, artillery as the cover force, and at most some auxiliary combat such as aircraft. It is also true in other places on the surface. That's right, but... After arriving in the Northern Continent, it changed completely.

In the Northern Continent, soldiers can no longer appear on the battlefield as a single combat unit—if they do appear, they are basically cannon fodder—there is almost no defense, the power of individual weapons is limited, and even the speed is restricted by those soldiers. The weapons on the battlefield have been surpassed - on the battlefield in the northern continent, all kinds of mechanical chariots are the main force.

In Huanmeng's impression, the difference between the chariot and the one driven by Night Breeze is that it has more armor and weapons - of course, the armor may be thicker, the weapons may also be more armed, and it may even be equipped with artillery or something. -However, this imaginary scene is far from what the soldier described.

The most basic chariot used on the surface, its armor defense level is close to that of main battle tanks on other continents, and the armament on it is no less than that of main battle tanks; the reason why it is still called "chariot" instead of "tank" is that It is because its chassis structure is different from that of tanks - tanks generally need to use crawlers to drive, so as to avoid their huge weight from collapsing the road and making it difficult to drive; while the tanks here can take advantage of the material - Lightweight yet tough, guaranteed firepower, defense and speed.

However, this kind of tank is only the most basic combat force, or the bottom line of surface warfare; if you want to gain the upper hand, you have to improve it-the first thing to be improved is the engine.

With more power, the speed of the chariot can be made faster. Researchers from various countries have worked hard in this direction; soon, in mutual competitions, the speed of the chariot on flat ground has been comparable to that of the aircraft. Before take-off - some countries even tried to improve the fuselage into a streamlined shape and add some auxiliary wings to directly turn the chariot into an aircraft. However, this method was quickly abandoned because the target was too large and easy to be destroyed.

Huanmeng was quite surprised to hear this... These people are indeed masters of mechanics.However, judging from the attitude of the soldiers, there are still many advanced types in the future——

Some countries think that the size of the tank can be enlarged, as long as there are enough powerful engines—at least install a few more, so that the tank can have extremely strong defense and firepower; The air flow will lift the body up when driving at high speed, and the shape of the tank has been improved to a certain extent, making the tank more maneuverable and able to carry more weapons—in short , The shape of the chariot is varied, and there are all kinds of styles.

Why don't these people on the surface put so much effort into improving people's livelihood... Huanmeng complained inwardly.
