Chapter 123 Combat Drone Cluster
Chapter 123 Combat Drone Cluster
Communicate with the heavy knight for a while.
Got the formula for military gunpowder.
Su Wu's last shortcoming in modern gunpowder weapons has been made up.
From now on, as long as the raw materials are in sufficient supply.
All of his weapons will be truly comparable to the regular federal army in terms of effectiveness.
And with this confidence.
Su Wu's next action to capture the large shelter will naturally become more relaxed.
His gaze returned to the armory in the shelter.
Currently, about 6 express-grade drones have been produced and are temporarily stored on the sixth underground floor.
It is just the size of a drone swarm.
Su Wu planned to wait until the large truck came back.
All these drones were transported to Zhou Xiwu’s large shelter.
As the main armed force stationed there.
"First, for safety reasons."
"It would be better to strengthen a command center among them."
Normally, drone swarms do not need a command center because the shelter's artificial intelligence takes over the command.
But over there in Zhou Xiwu’s large shelter.
Because the distance is relatively far, all communication pressure is concentrated on the communication signal tower that is about to be erected there.
At that time, once the communication signal tower is destroyed.
The drone cluster stationed there will basically become no different from a pile of scrap metal.
What if the communication is cut off in the middle of a battle?
I couldn’t even imagine that scene.
"Then 20 will be allocated for main combat and daily patrol use."
While thinking, Su Wu gave the manufacturing center the task of modifying the drone.
Let it target the 20 marked express-level drones.
Install a 5.56mm small-caliber automatic rifle.
In addition, it is equipped with a large ammunition magazine with a capacity of 500 rounds.
This automatic rifle, specially adapted for drones, has an effective range of about 400 meters and very little recoil, which can fully meet the requirements of accurate shooting targets.
It's just not powerful enough.
However, this is actually an advantage in a small shelter where the purpose of the battle is not indiscriminate massacre.
As for targeting those with armor.
Su Wu chose to directly equip the remaining nine drones with two types of light rockets: armor-piercing bombs and incendiary bombs.
Let it act as an offensive force in a drone swarm.
"That's it for now."
As a cluster of combat drones consisting of only about 30 aircraft.
There is no need to design overly complex functions.
As long as sufficient firepower and large-capacity ammunition are met, these two requirements will be met.
"Finally, except for the drones."
"The armed forces on the ground cannot be abandoned either."
"Perhaps, we can try to add a batch of miniature unmanned off-road vehicles as a supplement."
The biggest advantage of ground vehicles is that they can use sniper weapons, heavy machine guns, flamethrowers, etc. that are more powerful, have greater recoil or weight.
At the same time, the amount of ammunition that can be carried is also greater.
And considering the complex environment underground in the shelter.
The best choice is undoubtedly an armed robot such as a robot dog that is both flexible and has a high load capacity.
Unfortunately, Su Wu currently has no way to produce such a war machine.
We can only settle for the next best thing.
I chose a miniature off-road vehicle that is about the same size as a robot dog and almost like a toy.
This type of off-road vehicle can basically only be driven on flat streets or wastelands.
The scope of application is quite limited.
However, relying on the office building, it is still quite good as the main force of defense and supplementary means of offense.
"Let's just produce 20 for now."
"Two will be equipped with sniper rifles, three will be equipped with flamethrowers, five will be equipped with rocket launchers, and the last ten will be equipped with multi-barreled machine guns."
Because the car body is designed according to the toy body shape, the length of the car body does not exceed one meter. The overall production cost is very low.
Su Wu directly placed an order for 20 vehicles in one go.
And after this batch of land combat machines has been proven to have sufficient value in subsequent practical tests.
Su Wu will continue to expand its production scale.
Apply them to mines and other shelters.
To replace the scarce construction robots and serve as guards for daily patrols.
4 hours later.
A large truck loaded with goods was parked steadily in front of the door of the outpost office named by Su Wu.
Open the carriage and extend the rails.
Let the activated miniature land combat vehicles automatically drive along the guide rails into the office.
At the same time, not far away across the street.
A hidden camera secretly filmed this scene.
"What do they want to do?"
Zhou Xiwu looked at the toy-like metal cars in the video, gradually driving down from the truck.
His face had turned a little blue.
Although the vehicles were almost laughably small, the shiny metallic guns welded on their bodies were no joke.
It is a real killing machine that can harvest lives in large numbers.
And they transported so many weapons to their own shelter.
It can't just be for show.
What the other person really wants to do.
Zhou Xiwu couldn't help but tremble slightly just thinking about it.
"Boss, should we get rid of it as soon as possible?"
A close confidant nearby asked in a low voice.
"Are you sure?"
Zhou Xiwu turned his head suddenly and looked at him with a dangerous light in his eyes.
"this--"
The confidant was a little hesitant and wanted to harden his heart and make a promise.
But after making a rough estimate of the scale of the armed forces captured.
I immediately lost confidence.
The person on the other side is not a dead person who has no reaction.
As long as we fail to bury them all in the ruins at once, we will give them the opportunity to go out and fight back.
The consequences are beyond his control.
"waste."
Seeing his confidant's evasive gaze, Zhou Xiwu cursed.
But for a moment, he was helpless about it.
After thinking for a long time, I could only helplessly suppress the unwillingness in my heart.
"Try to contact other shelters secretly."
"See if you can get a batch of electromagnetic pulse weapons over here."
“The future of our shelter may depend on them.”
Electromagnetic pulse bombs, from their inception, were designed to target drones and various smart electronic devices.
If these weapons still don't work.
Zhou Xiwu should consider packing up his belongings and preparing for retreat.
the other side.
After all the designated armed forces have entered the outpost office.
Only a few hours had passed.
Su Wu earned his first income from there.
That was a batch of gunpowder raw materials purchased at one-tenth of the price through private contact with an official from the Materials Management Office.
The number is not very large.
But it is enough to double Su Wu’s current ammunition reserves.
Greatly enrich the originally weak war potential.
