Two behemoths, one Chen Xi also knows, it is a fist product sold by their Iron Eagle, the Riemann Ruth main battle tank. ※%, and the other, which is also obviously a tank, but Chen Xi does not recognize its model.

This strange tank, like the Annihilator, has a chassis with four tracks, distributed on both sides of the chassis, but these drives are shorter and narrower than the Annihilator, after all, it is still a lot smaller than the Annihilator.

On the chassis of the turret, there is a turret that is only one line smaller than the hull, a thick and long barrel is arranged in front of the turret, and in the upper part of the turret, two remote-controlled machine gun weapon stations are arranged on either side of the turret. And at the rear end of the turret, there is also a device of unknown purpose, which resembles both a laser emitter and some kind of observation device.

Several crew members were busy working on the unknown type of tank, but on the side of the Riemannus Ruth tank, only one crew member was cutting a piece of the tank's armor.

Seeing that the power of the optical camouflage was not very much, Chen Xi looked at it, and then walked quickly to a room with "dressing room" written on it.

There was no one in the room, Chen Xi turned off the optical camouflage, changed into someone else's dustproof suit, and put on a breathing mask, as for his helmet, it could only be put in a bag and carried around.

Fortunately, the staff in this place were very busy, and no one noticed that there was suddenly an extra person among them, anyway, everyone was wearing breathing masks, and no one could see each other's faces clearly, and if they wanted to recognize people, they could only recognize them by looking at the names on each other's chest plates.

Chen Xi held his helmet and paid attention to the movements of the staff, and then he walked to a row of desks, which were full of computers, constantly displaying various data and pictures.

"MBT-X8 Guardian?" Chen Xi saw a monitor showing three views of the tank, and the model of the tank was also written on it. So he stopped and began to quickly skim through the information on it.

"The Kingdom of Alvinson really dares to sell it, and the equipment that was given to them changed hands and sold a lot to the people of country M." Looking at the data displayed above, Chen Xi shook his head, a little helpless. "It seems that they are here and elsewhere to fully analyze our Riemanlus, however, Riemanrus is not very technical, only the remote-controlled weapon station and armor materials are more advanced. Oh yes, and the fire control system. But the versions we sell are all weakened versions, and you don't get any good stuff. ”

After reading the source information of the Riemann Ruth tank, Chen Xi began to read the data of the new tank in front of him. Maybe one day it will be right, wouldn't it be easier to fight with these data?

"It is 15 meters long, 6 meters wide, 3 meters high, and weighs 110 tons at full capacity. The main gun is a 140 mm 55 x diameter smoothbore gun, with 35 rounds of ammunition. It seems that it has strengthened the armor-piercing ability, and it is aimed at us. Two remote-controlled machine guns, one 12.7 mm caliber. Reserve 300 rounds, one 7.92 mm caliber. Reserve 500 rounds. The firepower is okay. The road speed is 65 km/h, and the off-road speed is 32 km/h, but why four tracks? It's not as big as an annihilator. Well...... What are they? Looking at the data on the screen, Chen Xi finally saw something that made him a little interested, "Variable walking system? Laser-guided joint attack system? Advanced Electromagnetic Railgun Replacement Program? ”

As Chen Xi searched his computer for the new terms and more data, such as the armor data of this tank, he heard someone in the staff surrounding the MBT-X8 Guardian tank shouting, "OK." Let's spread out a bit, let's test the running gear again! ”

Chen Xi lowered his body, hiding his body more behind the computer screen, and then looked at the staff.

At this time, even the staff member who was cutting the armor of the Riemanrus tank stopped what he was doing. Standing on the turret of the tank, his eyes fixed on the Guardian tank that was being watched by everyone.

As a staff member with a remote control device activated the switch, he heard the roar of machinery coming from the hull of the Guardian tank, and then the hull vibrated violently.

Chen Xi clearly saw that with the vibration, the tank hull began to lift upward, and the two tracks on one side suddenly separated from the upper and lower parts of the hull! No, it can't be said that they are completely separated, they were connected by other mechanical mechanisms before!

It took about half a minute for the Guardian Tank's hull to stop rising, and its four tracks had been transformed into four mechanical legs with tracks, which had been horizontally touching the ground, with an additional part resembling the sole of the foot, and the entire track and load-bearing structure were now erected, and between them and the hull, there was an additional mechanical part as another limb.

"OK, the transition was a success, and we started the next test, the walking test, stabilizing the speed." Another staff member said that in addition to telling others, he also said it to the voice note.

The Guardian Tank shook as the remote control device maneuvered, and then, with its mechanical leg in front left, lifted up and stepped forward. Next is the mechanical leg on the right rear. When the two mechanical legs were firmly on their feet, the other two legs also took a step forward and backwards, allowing the Guardian Tank to move forward by about one meter eight to two meters in ten seconds.

"Ok, the first step is successful!" The voice of the speaker was very excited, it seemed that they had failed many times before, "Raise the speed to the fastest!" ”

"It's better not to be so fast." Immediately, someone objected, "This thing is too heavy, if you walk too fast, I'm afraid the joint structure will not be able to withstand it, after all, this is only four legs, not the bird catcher spider multi-legged chariot has eight legs to support." I don't want to fix this hundred-ton guy anymore! ”

"Alright, Cowen, don't talk too much." The staff member who ordered the acceleration said, "If it really breaks down and you don't have to fix it alone, if we succeed in this test, then we can call it a day sooner instead of waiting until tomorrow." And if we don't get this damn system right, the tank will only be heavier in the future with additional armor or replace it with stronger armor, and then we will only have more trouble. ”

"Well, you're up to you here." Corvin shook his head, then took a few steps back, a little further away from the tank.

With the order, the tank, which now weighed 110 tons, took another step, and its four thick mechanical legs staggered at a significantly faster speed than before, and this time it took three seconds to complete a step in the same way. However, this is not without problems, even Chen Xi, who is the farthest away, saw that after taking this step, there was obvious smoke rising from the running mechanism of the tank.

"Damn, there's something wrong with this thing again." Kewen stepped forward to inspect it and said, "The structure is overloaded!" Romern, can't you test your steady speed first and then test your top speed walking?! ”

"We don't have much time!" The man named Romon replied, "You have all seen that the Riemannus tank, although the overall technical level is not the best, not even comparable to the M1, but its firepower and defense are excellent!" And the mobility is not too bad either! If we can't come up with better tanks within the allotted time, then the military will not give us enough orders! Think about your salary, man! You don't want to look for a new job. ”

"Okay!" After a sigh, Kewen said to himself, "Wait for the structure to cool down, then slow down a bit, and let's take a few more steps after setting it to the standard speed!" ”

"Fire extinguisher ready!" Romn spoke to the others before re-ordering the test to continue, he also saw the smoke and knew that if he was not careful, he would only delay more time if he was not careful.

"Buzz~Buzz~" The Guardian Tank walked again, this time adjusting, and the time it took to take a full step remained at five seconds, and then it stopped after walking continuously for more than ten meters.

"Romn, this should have been a success, right?" Corvin walked over to the tank, inspected the travel system, and asked, "As long as we stay below this speed, the structure can withstand it, and even if we fire a gun, it should be able to withstand it." ”

"There is no problem with structural design, after all, we have a lot of experience in this area, and we have so many finished products." Romney said as he walked over with the others, "The main problem is the friction of the parts. ”

He tapped on the tank's armor and continued: "This thing is already hundreds of tons now, and according to Professor Dalton's design and the analysis of the material of the Riemann Ruth tank, it may be even heavier in the future. At that time, no one knows whether the structure can support it. The only thing that attracts the military is that it is quite adaptable to all kinds of complex terrain, even in ruins or mountains.
