From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 392 Armored Corps and Missile Program

The most important aspect is speed. When a main battle tank uses a fuel engine, its upper speed limit can reach 150 miles per hour. If it is replaced with a nuclear fusion engine, this upper speed limit can be increased to the speed of sound or even several times the speed of sound.

Yes, although the model given by the system is a small fusion engine, it is generally used for spacecraft such as the Liberator or large combat mechas such as the Thor. The weight of the main battle tank is insignificant compared to these heavyweight units. Using a fusion reactor to propel it will naturally cause energy overflow.

Of course, the speed limit is the speed limit. In fact, there are very few high-speed environments where it can be applied. Except for charging on the battlefield where speeds of three hundred to five hundred miles can be used, most of the time a few dozen to one hundred miles is enough.

This is not a problem. There is a gear-shifting system to limit the engine power output, so the reliability should be very high. The excess power can also be used in other aspects.
Ordinary main battle tanks are designed according to the current era, and each component is extremely balanced, but this does not apply to the main battle tanks of the Tank Lane Alliance. It can be said that the tank design of the Tank Lane Alliance only has shortcomings in energy quality and engine. In other aspects, it is even stronger than siege tanks!

For example, self-repairing reactive armor.

Leng Xiyao suddenly realized that she had always believed that the siege tank was powerful mainly because of the fusion bombs and the accompanying fuel that came with it. If they hadn't been included, wouldn't it have been just a pure iron shell?
This is also the reason why Leng Xiyao did not consider mass production of siege tanks after Nishizumi Miho arrived, because this is more in line with Leng Xiyao's definition of armored forces. Her legion also needs such a fast mobile unit, rather than simply relying on siege tanks to play positional warfare and advance slowly. Such armored forces are also more suitable for Nishizumi Miho to command.

Flexible combat is the foundation of an armored corps!

With the armored forces, the current infantry with guns are no different from running naked. In the future, infantry will wear self-produced horse armor to fight. The armor part has been entrusted to Giant Sword City for production. She only needs to produce enough engines and then assemble them.

The production of the siege tank soon came to an end. After the giant mechanical crane assembled the last component and dropped it to the ground, Leng Xiyao heard the system's voice in her mind:
"Your human quest line has completed a branch - training a chief scientist."

"Huh? This works?" Leng Xiyao was stunned. Wow, can the task be completed with the help of a production line?
But if you think about it carefully, this is not an easy job. As a Douluo man, it is not easy for Lightman to copy the drawings of siege tanks. This requires a deep understanding of engineering.

Seeing his big baby land on the ground, Letterman got into the cockpit in surprise. Unfortunately, it wouldn't start at all.

The production line cannot generate fuel out of thin air. Before taking seawater, there is no fuel at all, and various instruments cannot be activated. There is no shells or anything like that. Everything needs to be manufactured by ourselves.

Leng Xiyao looked at the progress of the task thoughtfully. If the task branch could be completed in this way, then it didn't seem to be particularly difficult.

Similarly, is it possible to kill a Titled Douluo by covert means, even if the Titled Douluo has been captured and his soul power sealed?

As for commanding a military operation, perhaps the next battle to unify Jibing City will meet this standard.

"By the way, Lightman, can we use existing technology to study the propulsion system?" Leng Xiyao thought for a moment and asked.

A spaceship is not just about making an iron shell and installing an engine. The various components are extremely complex, and it is impossible for a group of people like us to research it alone, but we can still hope to make missiles and the like.

Miho Nishizumi also brought a set of missile blueprints, but the problem was that the matching guidance system could not be built according to the blueprints. Electronic engineering and mechanical engineering are completely different. Even if it could be realized, it would have to be a localized method, using a soul guide to replace the guidance system.

Therefore, Leng Xiyao's requirements were not that high. Although it was called a missile, the final product only needed to be a flying bomb with super-fast speed and super-long distance. The accuracy did not need to be too high. The main thing was to facilitate production and as long as the quantity was sufficient, it would be fine.

If this kind of flying bomb allows Feilong to aim at a city at a very long distance at high altitude, the effect will be quite good as long as it has enough endurance, and the equivalent does not need to be too large. At present, the equivalent of a cannon shell is actually enough. The main thing is the propulsion system.

"Well, if it's just an ordinary gunpowder propulsion system, it shouldn't be difficult. We can also make such a propulsion device, but I guess the range won't be much higher than the current artillery." Lightman said a little embarrassedly.

In fact, this is not a newly developed technology, but more like an improved fireworks propulsion technology. With Leng Xiyao's current gunpowder concentration, it is not difficult to propel the shell into the sky like setting off fireworks.
"Then, what if we use fusion fuel for propulsion?" Leng Xiyao is not a professional, but that doesn't stop her from coming up with wonderful ideas.

"This may be difficult. You know, if the fusion fuel also exists in liquid form, then we need a propulsion device that is smaller than the fusion engine. Although it is not impossible to complete the research and development under the current conditions, it may take at least a year or even longer." Lightman thought about it and said.

The existence of soul power and psychic energy can make up for the lack of materials to a great extent. The existing soul guides can also provide him with sufficient ideas. As long as the soul guides have similar propulsion devices, they can gradually improve them according to this idea and develop devices that use soul power to stimulate and fusion fuel as propulsion energy.

As long as each of these flying bombs is equipped with one gram of fusion fuel, it is estimated that it will be enough to meet Leng Xiyao's needs.

As for the production costs of these propulsion devices, they will certainly not be too high. Similar to engines, these things are mainly expensive in research costs. Once the technology is stable, manufacturing will not necessarily be expensive.

"One year? Then you have to work harder." Leng Xiyao patted Lightman on the shoulder and instructed: "Besides that, if you have any wonderful ideas, you can use 5% of the daily production capacity of this production line to help you manufacture the corresponding components. This should be enough."

"Whether it can be achieved or not, I will provide you with the resources needed for these studies."

Hearing this, Letterman was overjoyed: "That's great! If that's the case, I think it won't be long before you get a satisfactory result!"

This production line is almost the golden finger of all scientific researchers' dreams, because it does not need to consider any other technical barriers. It only needs to draw a blueprint of their ideas, scan it in, and finally produce a product consistent with the blueprint.

Of course, no technology can be achieved overnight, but at least by comparing the results of failed experiments, we can clearly see where the mistakes occurred, and then conduct research and improvements on this basis, without being restricted by the level of craftsmanship!
"Well, I'm sure all this won't last long."
