General Sheffield took a sip of water and then looked at the report carefully.

If Catherine saw this report, Catherine would definitely be shocked - because the name of this plan is "On the Feasibility of Mobile Armor".

"It is undeniable that the huge fuselage, heavy movement, powerful firepower and thick armor are always enough to make anyone's blood boil."

"From this article, we will discuss the feasibility of mobile armor."

Why is there such a feasibility report?

Speaking of which, it is also related to Catherine.

The mechas and plans of Catherine's "Howling Snow Wolf", "Laughing Octopus" and "Angry Raven" have also been known to Sheffield - Poseidon Laboratory has cooperated with the military before

It's related, and Catherine has nothing to hide.

After that, "Black Man" became famous.

The emergence of the Black Man changed everything to a great extent.

It is amazing that a person can face the siege of hundreds of people and still calmly leave after being shot hundreds of times.

In addition, Sean Conte wore armor and killed all sides on the Iran-Iraq battlefield. This amazed the Americans and stepped up the development of personal weapons and armor.

To this end, they even formulated a series of armed plans ranging from small to large.

Among them, the small armor plan was shelved due to energy problems, but the large machine plan attracted the attention of many people.

Compared with other types of mechanical tools, the biggest advantage of mobile armor with mechanical arms and legs should be its versatility.

If you have both flexibility of operation and strong power, it will be more effective in many situations.

This is not a problem for normal civilian use.

Usually the problems encountered are common and there is sufficient time to consider the most suitable solution. For example, a tower crane fixed to the outside of the building is designed to adapt to the construction of high-rise buildings and is suitable for road and rail transportation and rapid transportation.

Design of universal container transportation mode for loading and unloading, etc. In such clearly defined situations, it is obvious that general-purpose equipment will lack the competitiveness with special-purpose equipment.

Therefore, the possibility of using humanoid general-purpose machinery in ordinary civilian situations is obviously very small.

——But in a military environment, this has unrivaled advantages.

Hmm... How should I put it? Sheffield came to the exact opposite conclusion like Catherine's "it can only be used for civilian use".

In the military, especially platforms that use robotic arms to carry weapons, it will be possible to use and quickly replace a variety of different weapons and equipment and perform actions other than operating specific equipment. In the battlefield environment, it is likely to have advantages over existing equipment.

Sheffield thinks so.

Humans are fragile. But if it's a mobile armor, it's different.

——Of course, Sheffield will never consider someone like Gang Damu.

As soon as Gang Damu entered the battlefield, a guided missile came over... Okay, nothing will happen to Gang Damu now...

In Sheffield's mind, he clearly believed that there had not been any modern war in the true sense.

The armed conflicts in the Middle East are nothing at all. They are at the level of World War II at best. However, in the Vietnam War, due to its asymmetry, it is difficult to call it a model of modern warfare. Large-scale armed conflicts that occurred under existing conditions are actually

It is more likely to evolve into a beyond-visual-range war that combines costly long-range missile strikes with large-scale cross-sea air strikes.

In this situation where large-scale corps conflicts are unlikely to occur, it is unlikely that mobile armor, which can only be used in land battles or naval battles, will become the main body of the battle. Only in local conflicts can there be examples of the use of mobile armor.

As for all-out war?

That's the matter of long-range missiles beyond visual range.

To go even more extreme, it would be the destruction of land with nuclear warheads.

Once a full-scale war breaks out between the United States and a certain country, a nuclear war is bound to break out - so Sheffield never considers a full-scale war.

Because that is no longer something that an "American general" can decide.

At that time, there was only one thing that could determine the position of the United States - the nuclear button in the hand of the president.

After seeing the report, Sheffield thought of another plan - the power armor plan.

Considering the possibility of manning and the mobility when walking is the main mode of action, the size of the mobile armor cannot be too small, and the design of the mechanical exoskeleton also appears more like a new type of mechanical military uniform than mobile armor.

Exoskeleton - or the latest power armor, this plan is contradictory and conflicting with Sheffield's plan to a certain extent.

"Our current main contradiction is the contradiction between power armor and mobile armor. We must resolve the power armor so that our mobile armor plan can be launched!"

Sheffield is preparing for a little conspiracy here.

Powered armor is, to some extent, closer to the original intention of the previous plan.

Whether it is "Black Man" or John Conte, he is always wearing a suit of armor.

But in Sheffield's view, only the torrent of steel is a man's romance!

Powered armor, exoskeletons, etc. are all weak and explosive!

Only mechas are romantic for men!

Individual weapons and such are just consumables...

"But at the same time, considering the possibility of urban warfare and the threat of enemy artillery, mobile armor cannot be too large in size. This issue has been demonstrated in detail in the early stages of tank design. Therefore, if the two factors are combined,

A humanoid design with a height of about 10 meters would be a more reasonable size - small enough to use buildings in urban warfare.

It has enough size and weight to use large-caliber weapons with certain lethality. However, considering maintenance and stability, the multi-legged design will have more advantages in all aspects except floor space. At the same time,

Mobile armor must have the ability to at least resist most light weapons so that it can handle it calmly in confrontations with infantry."

This is what the article says.

Sheffield nodded, he was very satisfied, he was quite satisfied!

Compared with existing army equipment, the most obvious advantage of mobile armor is that its tall appearance gives it a completely different field of vision from the existing situation.

As a general, Sheffield knew a lot of things.

Most modern army conflicts are characterized by the infiltration and harassment of small groups of special operations personnel. Since most of them can only carry a certain amount of light weapons, they adopt tactics when facing tank troops with strong firepower and protective capabilities.

Most of them operate covertly and avoid contact as much as possible.

But when faced with mobile armored forces, its tall fuselage brings a wide field of view, a load capacity sufficient to carry a variety of detectors, and the mobility that can be quickly deployed will make the existing special forces covert tactics - crawling, night fighting

Camouflage, camouflage clothing, etc. - lose their concealment effect, and their mobility and effectiveness will be unable to be configured on towers of the same height.

Therefore, mobile armor may be used as an ideal base security equipment in combat against infantry. For the same reason, it is specialized mobile armor in situations such as riots, suppression, and suppression - such as high-pressure water cannons.

Replaces original weapons - and can also be used as a supplement to the combat effectiveness of riot police.

On the other hand, considering the existing examples of airborne light tanks in the airborne troops, airborne lightweight mobile armor can also be used as a possible method of use in rapid suppression operations. On the one hand, its advantages in load capacity and field of vision can provide a strong

Fire support, on the other hand, the tall fuselage will undoubtedly bring amazing oppression to the enemy in suppressive operations.

The only problem is that the airborne troops will not be attacked by missiles due to their small rcs in the air and are only threatened by light weapons against the air. The airborne mobile armor has to face the concentrated attack of anti-air firepower. Therefore, the stealth performance of the airborne type must be improved.

Strengthening is undoubtedly necessary.

Of course, standing on two legs was not considered at all in the mobile armor from the beginning.

Are bipedal fighters good?

Wrong! Big mistake!

That's a complete scam!

Therefore, these armors in Sheffield all use tracks or tires.

"Of course, if tempered carbon nanotube fiber can be mass-produced, it will have a perfect effect, and bipedal fighters will not be a problem at all. If it is a mecha made of tempered carbon nanotube fiber material, it will become

A complete battlefield killer - it can crush any enemy."

If it is made of tempered carbon nanotube fiber material, it can indeed completely crush the opponent. It doesn't even matter if it is made into a strong wood - because it can completely ignore missile attacks.

There are only three ways to kill a mecha made of tempered carbon nanotube fiber.

First, use materials of the same hardness and cut them.

The second step is to kill the driver.

Finally, the tempered carbon nanotube fiber material is torn apart with huge force.

Compared with beating tanks, this kind of armor is a man's romance!

"Considering the huge inertial force brought by the mecha, the mecha can completely adopt unmanned control - control the mecha from a distance, so that the mecha can fight more objectively."

Sheffield thinks so.

Human thought is a very important factor that affects war. If this factor is not solved, mechas and horses will not be feasible at all.

But what if it is controlled by a drone?

Wouldn't this be great?

Suddenly, Sheffield thought of the Iridium satellite project.

Miss Edson seems to be planning to use Iridium satellites to transmit data...

"It's time for Catherine to prepare for the submarine matter."

Sheffield nodded, it seems that this matter cannot be forgotten now.

Maybe Miss Edson will really surprise me then?

Sheffield felt more and more good about this report the more he read it. Looking at the author, he was a former special operations team member named "Quill". And this person is now working as a consultant at the research institute...

…

Two updates completed!

There will be a surprise tomorrow ~ (To be continued)
