Chapter 32 Aerial Firepower Platform
Chapter 32 Aerial Firepower Platform
The more Su Wu analyzed, the more dissatisfied he became with the combat capability of the construction robot.
But this is an infrastructure and hardware problem.
Unless it is completely redesigned, there is no way to solve it.
"I was lucky this time, but I may not be lucky next time."
"This can't go on like this."
After the review, Su Wu took a deep breath.
The pressure and sense of crisis caused by this unexpected encounter made him realize that he must build a more professional armed force.
To deal with the threat from their own kind in the gradually collapsing order of the doomsday.
However, he was a little troubled as to how to do it.
It is okay to develop armed forces, but it cannot take up too many resources, and at the same time it must have an overwhelming advantage in combat.
Otherwise there is no meaning in development.
I pondered for more than ten minutes.
Finally, Su Wu turned his attention to the field of drones.
This time, the supplies he purchased from the official shelter included various models of commercial drones.
The most expensive one is the K2 series of agricultural drones.
As a mass-produced commercial drone, the K2 series agricultural drone has various obvious shortcomings.
Its body is mainly made of plastic and thin metal sheets, and its own defense is almost zero. Even if it is hit by a fist-sized stone, it may crash on the spot. The mass-produced motor and poor cooling system make it only work properly in an environment below 3 degrees. At the same time, the fastest flight speed is only meters per second, and the maximum flight altitude is below meters. It is not even as fast as a normal adult running.
But all these shortcomings cannot erase or offset its two extremely unique advantages.
It is an aerial unit and has a load capacity of up to 50kg.
These two advantages give the K2 series agricultural drones unlimited modification potential.
The former allows it to ignore obstacles and terrain and easily reach any battlefield, while the latter can carry enough ammunition to dominate the battlefield with absolute firepower.
"Just choose it."
Su Wu made a decision.
He sent a construction robot to the warehouse and brought the only two K2 series agricultural drones to the manufacturing center.
Then scan, model and draw the most accurate 3D model.
Used to facilitate modification and design.
"First of all, in terms of positioning, it should be a long-range bombing weapon."
"For a 50kg payload, at least 40kg must be used to carry explosives."
Bricks fly with great force.
No matter what kind of enemy you face, throwing a wave of bombs will definitely have the effect of clearing the field.
As for the source of explosives, Su Wu had traded several hundred tons of fertilizers and daily chemicals with the official shelter. Just refine them.
Although the quality may not be as good as the fine gunpowder obtained from the heavy knights, it is more than enough to make bombs.
With the positioning in mind, the rest of the design will be much easier.
In the way of bombing.
Su Wu rejected the inefficient method of directly dropping bombs, which was half-reliant on luck, and chose rockets, which would sacrifice a certain amount of load but have a longer range and are more accurate.
A K2 series agricultural drone has a total payload of 50kg and can carry five individual-level rockets with an average weight of 8.5kg.
The remaining 7.5 kg of load capacity can be used to carry other accessories.
For example, a more efficient heat dissipation system allows the drone to fly normally in an environment of 85 degrees. For example, a more rigorous waterproof and air filtration system allows the drone to shuttle through rain curtains and smoke produced by combustion.
There are also fine-tuning of the fuselage structure, so that with the help of artificial intelligence, even if the drone is attacked, as long as the core components are not damaged, it can quickly regain balance and continue flying and fighting. A series of modification designs are constantly born in Su Wu's consideration.
Then, through artificial intelligence simulation and calculation, it is transformed into practical modification drawings.
Then with the help of engineering robots, it can be installed on the K2 series agricultural drones.
More than ten hours later.
Two K2 series agricultural drones equipped with rocket launch nests appeared on the manufacturing table of the shelter manufacturing center.
Officially incorporated into the shelter's combat command system.
"Now we finally have a real armed force."
Looking at the icons representing the two K2 series agricultural drones on the console screen, Su Wu felt satisfied and at ease.
And this is just the beginning.
There is still a lot of room for expansion.
I thought about it.
Su Wu also added a blueprint of a foldable shooting platform and asked the engineering robots to build ten of them according to the blueprint.
This shooting platform has a very simple structure.
It consists of an assault rifle, a large ammunition compartment, a camera with infrared function, a base that can rotate freely 360 degrees, and a microcomputer.
It has a total mass of 40kg and can be folded into a metal box when in dormant mode.
It can be carried by a K2 series agricultural drone that has emptied its rockets and airdropped to any designated location. After being dropped to the location, it will automatically deploy in combat mode and attack targets marked as enemies autonomously or remotely controlled by the artificial intelligence in the shelter.
At the same time, in addition to going out to fight, they can also be deployed in farmyards on the surface and in key locations of underground shelters as regular shelter defense facilities.
"The rockets of the K2 series agricultural drones are the first line of defense."
“The folding shooting platform is the second line of defense.”
"Finally, construction robots equipped with automatic rifles and engineering robots can form the third line of defense."
"With this kind of formation, unless we face a regular army, it's unlikely that anyone can break into the shelter."
Commanding the modified K2 series agricultural drones to conduct a drill outside.
Through the screen, I watched as a rocket it carried successfully ignited and accurately hit a small hill more than 200 meters away.
Su Wu finished his work with satisfaction.
. . . . . .
the following few days.
Everything goes well.
Large trucks continue to deliver supplies purchased from official shelters to farmers' yards day and night.
Then, the construction robots sorted the materials and stored them in the manufacturing center warehouse, daily necessities warehouse, and feed planting area on the second underground floor of the shelter according to their types. Some materials that are not picky about the environment and can be stored for a long time, such as cement, were directly piled in the simple sheds in the farmyards on the surface, or even in the two-story buildings where people originally lived.
With sufficient material support.
Su Wu quickly completed the final renovation of the three-story underground breeding factory, allowing the purchased fish fry, eggs and duck eggs to be hatched to settle down smoothly inside.
At the same time, seeds were sown on hundreds of soilless cultivation racks in the feed planting area, waiting for them to germinate and grow.
During this period, the workload of the shelter increased significantly.
Su Wu had to spend another 15 survival points and add three construction robots to make up for the labor gap.
This is the end.
At the end of the second month of Su Wu's construction of the shelter, the number of his construction robots reached seven. The shelter began to show signs of prosperity.
