"Then why not design a traditional tank? I think the design of the previous Paladin tank was good. Corvin picked up his tool and opened the Guardian tank's running mechanism, "It's also a 140mm gun, although it's otherwise worse than the Guardian, but at least it's much cheaper, and it's easy to maintain." ”

"But the Pentagon wants better performance, and although the Paladin is cheaper and has a lot less manufacturing man-hours, its laser system is not designed to intercept anti-tank missiles, the power output is not enough, and the armor is not strong enough." Romney shrugged, "The appearance of Riemannus Ruth shocked the generals of the army and marines, although the appearance is ugly enough, and it is too tall, 4.42 meters in height, you can see it at a glance, but the combat effectiveness of this thing is not weak." ”

"Of course I do." Corvin looked up and said, "I was there when the military tested the live ammunition. The M1A2 in active service is no match for Riemannus, either in armor or firepower. Moreover, Riemannus is much lighter than the M1A2, although the maneuverability is worse, but once the number goes up, the M1A2 is not an opponent at all. ”

"But the people in the Air Force and Navy say that we have air superiority, and it doesn't matter if the army equipment is almost there." Romney also started to pick up a tablet to check the system data, and then he didn't stop, "As you know, the army must be quite dissatisfied, so we have enough money to continue working on our tanks." ”

"Everybody loves walking machines now." Kewen forcefully removed a part from the mechanism, took it to the light and looked at it carefully, and then replaced it with a new one, "Even these traditional crawler types have to be added with mechanical walking ability." I don't even know what will become of the weapons in the future. ”

"It's a technological advance." Romney laughed, and of course anyone could hear the banter in his laughter, "We're just catching up with a good era." ”

"What the hell you." Corvin shook his head and continued to get busy with his work.

"Can the Guardians confront Riemannus directly?" Suddenly, someone asked, "Although the 140-mm gun was used, after all, the Riemann Ruth tank has been tested in real combat." ”

"Absolutely." Romney replied casually, "We haven't tested it with live fire before using the same armor as the Riemanus, and the Guardian's new main gun can penetrate the frontal armor of the Riemanus at a distance of 2,000 meters, while the Riemanrus needs to penetrate the Guardian's frontal armor at a distance of 1,000 meters." Once we use the same armor material, it will be even more impossible for Riemannus to stand up to our Guardians. ”

"But what about urban street fighting? We can't expect every battle to be fought at a distance of more than 1,000 meters, right? ”

"That's why I said we need Riemanrus' armor material technology!" Romney looked back impatiently, then looked at the crowd, "Who was asking this stupid question just now!?" ”

However, no one answered the question, and everyone looked at each other. Silent.

"Listen, I don't want anyone to ask this stupid question that I've explained so many times before!" Romney exclaimed, and went about his business.

Chen Xi chuckled lightly and continued to study the information on the computer, it was him who asked him just now.

"The current armor ......" Chen Xi finally found some of the data he needed at this time, "It is still depleted uranium armor, even if it is a new model, it is also depleted uranium armor." Ho, it's still thick-plate armor, it's not the previous mesh structure, no wonder this tank is getting heavier and heavier. They also got the idea of our armor materials. ”

"Hey, you!" Just as Chen Xi was reading the information, someone yelled at him, "What are you doing sitting there?" Come and help! ”

Chen Xi looked up, but it was Romney, the person in charge of the group of staff, and then Chen Xi looked in the direction pointed by Romney's hand, and on the other wall of this experimental field, a fan appeared, and three small forklifts each held one thing and drove towards the center of the field.

"What is this?" Chen Xi asked in a somewhat indistinct voice.

I didn't pay attention to who Chen Xi was. Romney replied, though his words showed that he was now upset: "The notice just came to us to help test the walking gear of these things." Damn, enough of our own business! Don't you know from above?! ”

"What is it?" Chen Xi asked.

"What else could it be?" Romney spread his hands. Leading everyone towards the forklift, "It's not the 'Legion' power armor designed by Professor Hansen yet. Seeing that someone else has something good, he also wants to get one out. But have we become specialized in testing? ”

Kewen smiled: "Everyone knows this, Professor Hansen and Professor Dalton are not compatible, and the two are always competing. We're testing Professor Dalton's design, and Professor Hansen isn't going to be left behind. ”

"You're right. But it's still those of us who do the test. "I've been involved in all the design of the running gear, but don't I work overtime here like you now?" ”

"You're our director." Kewen shook the wrench in his hand and said, "Besides, if it weren't for the high enough overtime pay, I might consider changing jobs." After all, we work too much overtime. ”

"Alright, I've heard enough of your complaints." "If you want to go back to rest early, then we'll take these things down and put them away, and then restore the tank's running gear to driving mode, and then we'll get off work!" ”

"I thought you'd say you wouldn't leave work if you didn't finish it together." Cowen smiled and walked over to the forklifts that had stopped, took the documents from the driver's hand and began to sign.

"If it weren't for these things, then I would have done it." After Romney finished speaking, he turned to look at the others, "Okay, let's help out, let us finish early today, and we can go to work later tomorrow!" ”

After Cowen finished signing, he motioned to the forklift driver to put the power armor that needed to be tested in one place, and smiled at Romney: "Hey, Romney, you still have to go to work later, so you are not afraid that the people above will trouble you?" ”

"I'm the head of this testing department, and before I leave, I'll be in charge here!" Romney said stiffly.

"Okay," Kewen followed the forklift to a corner of the field, and after directing the forklift to put down his things, he said loudly, "In order to rest early, come over and help." ”

So everybody walked over there.

Romney handed a few CDs to a staff member and said, "I'll give you this, it's the power armor data, you copy them all to the computer, and we'll take a closer look at them tomorrow." ”

"Okay." The staff member didn't say much, took the CD and walked over to the computer area, but if Romney could see through his breathing mask, he would find that he didn't know the staff member at all. Because this staff member is exactly what Chen Xi is disguised in.

It was at this time that a team of security personnel entered the test site.

"What's going on with you guys?" Romney saw it and immediately greeted him, "Don't you know that you can't just enter here?" And you didn't even change into dust suits and came in! ”

"I'm sorry, Dr. Romney." The security officer who led the team said, "We found this outside the gate of the test site. ”

He motioned for one of the team members to bring a metal plate with something like black dust piled up inside.

"What is this? A new material? Romney asked, puzzled.

"No, it's just dirt." The captain replied, "Just ordinary dirt. ”

"Damn, how can there be dirt here!" Romney said angrily, "This is the testing ground, how did you bring the dirt in!" ”

"Doctor, that's what I want to know." "I know the rules here, so I'm surprised by the dirt here." Maybe you don't know. ”

The captain pointed upwards with his finger: "There was an alarm from above, and we checked the entire building for this, but we found nothing, so we originally thought it was just a false alarm." But now, I don't think it's a false positive. ”

"You're saying someone has infiltrated here?" Although he was only a researcher, Romney also knew some insider information about the company, and he immediately understood. (To be continued.) )
