Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

There is a hardened ground outside the factory where Zero is located, and the chassis of the super-heavy tank, the project it is leading, is being tested.

This huge chassis has no weapons installed, and there are a large number of empty weapon interfaces on the vehicle. Although there are no weapons installed, the sound of such a huge machine moving on the ground is terrifying enough.

The chassis of the war fortress moved at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour, then turned, reversed, turned around on the spot, and crossed the hill. In just a short while, the hardened ground was pressed into potholes by its tracks, and all kinds of gravel were scattered everywhere.

Perhaps the driver saw Li Qinwu, the huge chassis slowly stopped, several hatches opened, and three people poked their heads out.

These three people are intelligent clones. Li Zhu, Li Ge, Li Liang, and Li Qinwu did not expect to see the three of them here. It seems that they have completed their tasks and found their favorite research and development directions.

"What do you think of this tank? Can it be used on the battlefield?"

Zhuge Liang and the other two nodded quickly, with excited smiles on their faces.

"It can definitely go to the battlefield! All the parts of this tank were made by Zero himself, so there is no problem with its reliability!"

"Although this tank is very slow and its mobility is not very good, we have positioned it as a mobile fortress. We can equip it with various weapons and send it to strategic locations. It will be impossible for the enemy to take it down!"

"Big is good! Good is big! We need more heavy tanks! I declare that the Cult of the Heavy Tank is established today!"

The three of them spoke more and more crazy, and their faces became more and more fanatical. Li Qinwu was happy to see this. Only these slightly crazy scientific researchers could produce good things that were ahead of their time.

"Where's Zero? Where's Zero?"

Li Qinwu hasn't forgotten the important matter yet.

Zhuge Liang and his two companions retreated into the chassis of the super heavy tank. After a while, a large door at the rear of the tank opened, and Zero's body, which looked like mechanical tentacle, poked out from inside.

As soon as it saw Li Qinwu, it said, "Master, the war fortress has passed the test. The engine is running well, the transmission structure is performing well, and the machine spirit is stable and eager to kill, but the tracks need to be replaced frequently. Apart from this, we only need to install enough weapons and the war fortress can be put into the battlefield!"

Li Qinwu looked at this steel monster with enthusiasm in his eyes. He couldn't wait to send this tank to the battlefield to see the expressions of the Japanese!

"Zero, the enemy will launch an attack on us in a month and a half. Can we install the weapon system within this month and a half?"

After a while of calculation, Zero said: "Master, as long as the materials are in place, I can install the weapon in a month and pass the adjustment test.

Currently the tank has 4 main weapon slots, 4 combat turrets, 4 secondary weapon slots, and 10 small weapon slots. Master, please choose the weapons to install. "

Li Qinwu looked at the empty slot on the car body and thought carefully.

His sight first fell on the center front part of the vehicle body, where there were four huge circular openings. That was the location of the tank turret, where four large artillery pieces could be installed!

The layout is a bit like a battleship. The two front turrets are side by side with slightly different firing angles, which can attack targets in front and on the left and right sides. The two rear turrets are slightly higher and can attack 360 degrees without blind spots.

The weapons placed here will be the main source of firepower for the tank. Li Qinwu searched the artillery under his command, and after much thought, the 120mm naval gun appeared in his mind.

In the construction plan led by Zheng He Li, the two 120mm guns of the Pioneer were to be removed and used here!

As for the two missing doors, just remove them from the Tao-class destroyer.

Li Qinwu planned to use a Tao-class destroyer to send Liu Changchun to the United States to participate in the Olympic Games. The ship must not carry weapons. In order to avoid being misunderstood by the US Pacific Fleet, it is better to unload all the weapons and equipment and use them in the war fortress!

After thinking it over, Li Qinwu asked, "Zero, can all of these four weapon slots be equipped with 4mm naval guns?"

"Yes, Master. The 120mm naval gun can be installed on this tank. We just need to make the turret and the weapon basket larger. Now please select the secondary weapon."

Li Qinwu observed the four secondary weapon slots, two at the front side of the vehicle, and two at the rear side. The attack angles were good, and the space was not small, so artillery could be installed. However, it could not be too large, at most it could be the size of a Type 4 mountain cannon.

Li Qinwu took into consideration that if such a large war fortress was deployed on the battlefield, it would certainly be attacked by heavy enemy firepower, and therefore it must not be accompanied by infantry at this time.

If the enemy infantry chooses to rush in and carry out blasting, it would be a bit dangerous. The four secondary weapon slots at the four corners of the tank are of suitable size, and Li Qinwu plans to install some self-defense weapons.

"Zero, can flamethrowers be installed at these four positions? I hope that when necessary, they can be aimed at the ground and spray fire, creating a circle of fire walls around the war fortress to prevent enemy infantry from approaching."

"Yes, Master. There is enough space in the war fortress to install four sets of gas cylinder pressurization equipment and fuel tanks."

After the main and secondary weapons are finalized, there is nothing much to say about the next small weapons. All of them are Reaper small-caliber machine guns. The few weapon slots that can hit the sky are equipped with Type 85 anti-aircraft machine guns to provide limited anti-aircraft firepower.

After finalizing the weapons installation, Li Qinwu talked about the main purpose of this place.

"Zero, after completing the War Fortress project, I want you to produce a set of precision lathes. I want to use it to process steam turbine blades."

Li Qinwu explained to Zero the MC iron barrel he signed in. This thing can place a magma block that always exists. As long as they can manufacture high-quality steam turbines, they can realize their ambition of unlimited energy!

The power light on Zero flashed quickly a few times. Even though the Warhammer 40k Human Empire it came from had very advanced technology, and some mechanical priests had even created things that looked like perpetual motion machines, the production cost of those things was too high, and maintenance was difficult and even dangerous.

It's not like here, where placing an iron bucket on the ground will produce infinitely hot magma. The safety, reliability and cheapness of this kind of thing make even this experienced mechanical arm feel a little unstable.

However, Zero immediately adjusted his mentality.

"Okay, Master. The mission has been updated. After completing the War Fortress, my production mission will be to manufacture precision machine tools."
