Chapter 1,437 What weapons is this big guy equipped with?
And compared to these armored fighting vehicles and main battle tanks, this kind of humanoid mecha is more flexible and maneuverable, especially in complex environments. This is something that armored fighting vehicles and tanks cannot match.
Finally, we came to an area that everyone was most concerned about and curious about, and it was Zou Xiaodong who took the lead in raising this issue.
What kind of weapons can be equipped on such a big guy?
Hearing Zou Xiaodong's greeting, Meng Hai laughed: "There are many weapons that can be equipped. The most common ones are automatic machine guns and small-caliber artillery.
For example, we can equip it with a 12.7mm Gatling gun, making it a mobile firepower fortress.
Or equip it with a two-link 20mm rapid-fire cannon. In this way, its ability to suppress enemy positions on the battlefield will be very strong.
Or, we can add a 40mm automatic grenade launcher to it. With sufficient ammunition, it can quickly launch a large number of grenades into a designated area, turning the enemy's position into a sea of fire.
In addition, we can also install rocket launch nests, rocket launchers, anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, etc.
If it continues to expand in size, we can equip it with larger-caliber artillery and other weapons."
Judging from what Meng Hai said, the weapon firepower of this Xingtian mecha (robot) is not strong, but it is not weak either. Maybe its firepower is comparable to that of an ordinary armored fighting vehicle.
However, its maneuverability, especially its ability to adapt to various terrains, is unmatched by armored vehicles. Moreover, its strong firepower continuity can also play a huge role on the battlefield.
In addition, of course, it has strong battlefield survivability. Unless it is hit by a large-caliber artillery or missile rocket, general small-caliber weapons cannot cause it any harm at all.
Therefore, in addition to being suitable for combat in complex terrain such as jungles and mountains, it is also suitable for a battlefield, that is, urban combat. As we all know, urban combat will be a main battlefield in future wars. In the narrow streets of the city, it can be said to be very
It is not conducive to armored vehicle combat, because these armored vehicles cannot compare attacks from all angles.
As for this Xingtian mecha (robot), it is essentially a humanoid robot, which is suitable for entering and fighting in some small spaces, and it is difficult to be damaged by ordinary light weapons.
It can be said that it is perfect to use it to clean up the remaining enemies hiding in the alleys and buildings in the city.
In addition, this Xingtian mecha (robot) is also suitable for security patrols in post-war cities and other areas. Its powerful maneuverability and sense of oppression can greatly deter the remaining enemies. And when encountering
When attacking, it can respond quickly and quickly eliminate these remaining enemies.
When will the No. 2 prototype be completed? Wu Hao asked Meng Hai.
Hearing Wu Hao's question, Meng Hai thought about it carefully, and then answered: "The development of the Xingtian Mecha (robot) No. 2 prototype has begun. It is expected to be completed this winter, and it will be available immediately.
Testing phase.
We plan to complete four to five such prototypes before next summer, and start the field test phase, sending them to the Northeast, West Xinjiang, Plateau, and South for extreme testing in different environments to verify
Its reliability in extreme environments.”
After listening to Meng Hai's answer, Wu Hao nodded, then looked at the Xingtian mecha (robot) and said: "Hurry up, I hope to formally introduce it to the military chiefs at the military-civilian technology integration exchange exhibition next spring.
.
In addition, if possible, I hope to send it to the Zhuhai Air Show next fall."
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Meng Hai and other scientific researchers became excited. Being able to attend a domestic cutting-edge technology exhibition such as the Civil-Military Technology Integration Exhibition and officially introduce it to the military proves that Wu Hao is very interested in this Xingtian mecha (robot).
Their performance is very recognized and they have great trust in them.
It will be their greatest honor to be able to attend the Zhuhai Air Show, the major air show in the world today, to show off their latest masterpieces to their military counterparts all over the world.
Of course, no glory can compare with the weapons and equipment they developed, which can play a role in national defense construction and perform well in protecting the country.
Compared with those compliments, this is the greatest recognition for them and also their greatest wish.
You can rest assured that we will hand over two qualified Xingtian mechas (robots) to you in time for the military-civilian technology integration exchange exhibition next spring. You can take them to the exhibition to show its excellent performance to military leaders.
Meng Hai assured Wu Hao.
Well, I'll wait and see. When the project is successful, I will personally congratulate you. Wu Hao responded readily.
Thank you, Mr. Wu. Meng Hai and other project scientific research and technical personnel expressed their gratitude one after another.
Wu Hao waved his hand, then looked at the surrounding environment and asked with a smile: "Do you still have any difficulties or problems in your life during your research and development work?"
This is also the most frequently asked question during his inspection work. If there are any questions or requests, as long as they are reasonable, he will take the opportunity to help solve them in time. If he cannot solve them on site, he will deal with them as soon as possible after returning.
Everyone knew this. After hearing Wu Hao's question, Meng Hai opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything, with some hesitation in his expression.
Seeing this, Wu Hao smiled and asked: "If you have any problems, just speak out openly. If I can help you solve it, I will try my best to help you solve it. If I can't help you solve it, I can't help you if you raise it."
So, while I’m here, tell me if you have anything.”
After hearing Wu Hao's words, Meng Hai finally did not hesitate and immediately said to him: "There is indeed a problem in our research and development work that is hindering the progress of the entire project."
If you have any questions, just ask them straight away. Wu Hao waved his hand and immediately spoke resolutely. When it comes to work, he likes to go straight and doesn't like to go around in circles and use official talk. Everyone who has dealt with him knows this.
So seeing Wu Hao's expression, Meng Hai immediately replied seriously to him: "That's right, this Xingtian mecha (robot) is relatively large. Based on our current site conditions, it is difficult to fully utilize its performance."
carry out testing.
However, if it is placed outdoors, it is easy to leak secrets. So we are thinking about whether we can build a large indoor test field for subsequent related tests of the Xingtian mecha (robot).
At present, not only our project, many projects also need such a large-scale indoor test field. It’s just that due to conditions, it has not been mentioned.”
After hearing Meng Hai's words, Wu Hao thought for a moment and did not agree immediately. Instead, he said to him: "In this case, I will ask someone to do a survey first, and then I will give you a formal reply after research."
