Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

"Reduce the rate of fire of the weapon and increase the damage of the weapon? Isn't this just changing the assault rifle back to an old-fashioned rifle?" Listening to Chen Xin's explanation of his thoughts, the political cadres he brought to discuss couldn't help but think of the old-fashioned rifle.

Hearing what the political officials said, Chen Xin laughed instead: "This is normal. Isn't the war between us and alien creatures the same as the trench warfare on the battlefield of World War I? It's just that we are fighting fiercely. The degree is far more intense than that of World War I. Whether it is the delivery of steel or the consumption of materials, it is far more than the sum of the two world wars.

do you know? The materials and ammunition that are consumed on the front line every day are huge. Just the line of defense I visited last time. The three battalions on average destroy a ton of ammunition every hour. This is only the consumption of ordinary soldiers.

As for the ammunition consumed by explosives and rear artillery support, although not so much, it is not much less. The ammunition consumed by the entire line of defense can only be calculated in units of 10,000 tons at any time.

So even if I just reduce the rate of fire of the rifle to one shot per minute, the ammunition that can be saved is an extremely huge number. "

"But having said that, it is too much work to replace the entire front-line equipment, and the investment will not be small at all." The political cadres only made a little calculation and realized that this is by no means an easy task. .

Chen Xin also agreed with this. He nodded and said, "So I don't intend to solve the problem at once, and isn't it a step-by-step process like changing clothes? Even during World War II, new equipment was emerging in an endless stream in various countries. Isn't it true that many weapons developed in the middle of the war will not be widely equipped with troops until the end of the war or even near the end of the war?"

Hearing what Chen Xin said, the political cadre nodded reassuringly. Although he did not have the power to stop Chen Xin, he could still persuade Chen Xin to have random thoughts.

Since Chen Xin didn't have the idea of ​​messing around, he naturally wouldn't talk too much.

"Then what are you going to do, Academician Chen? Do you have any specific plans?" The political cadre asked Chen Xin curiously.

Chen Xin thought for a while and said: "I don't have any good ideas in a short period of time. I plan to start with the electromagnetic rifle that we are equipping the troops of various countries in Europe. This is a weapon that is being refitted, and the effect can be seen more intuitively. "

A small land ship carrying supplies gradually landed, and the officers who had been waiting on the ground for a long time hurried up with people to meet them.

As the hatch of the land ship opened, several staff members of the Yan Kingdom stepped down from above.

"Hello, I am Major Ma Wen, the commander of the XX stronghold of the XXX defense line, and I am ordered to come to receive the supplies." The officer took out a document from his body and handed it to the staff of Yan Kingdom, and explained to him, The attitude is very respectful, even with a hint of flattery.

It was no wonder that Major Marvin took such an attitude, because his troops were stationed in a remote location, so far his troops were still using the old equipment, and did not enjoy the benefits of replacing the new equipment provided by Yan Kingdom.

This time it was finally his turn to receive the supplies and get new equipment. Major Marvin was very excited. Naturally, he also wanted to please the staff of Yan Kingdom and strive for better benefits for his troops.

Although it is not time to replace the equipment provided by the Yan Kingdom, Major Marvin has already heard that the people of the Yan Kingdom will provide better weapons and equipment and better logistics supplies. If you can get a little more supplies from them, don’t worry. It is said that the attitude is flattering, even if Major Marvin is asked to call the Yan Guoren's father in front of him, he will not refuse.

Of course, the Yanguo staff did not have a special hobby of being called their father. After receiving the proof documents handed over by Major Marvin and checking with the list in his hand to confirm that they were correct, the staff began to ask people to call him father. Moving supplies.

"According to the numbers on the list, the equipment is a total of three battalions of electromagnetic rifles and exoskeletons, as well as a platoon of power armor and a company of new dual-purpose guns." The staff showed the list to Major Marvin. , and explained the amount of supplies to him: "You can get two bases of ammunition, and one week's standard supply of supplies for a regiment. I won't read what is in it. You can check the list yourself. Everything It’s packed, you can count the quantity.”

Hearing what the staff said, Major Marvin said thank you, and hurriedly asked the people he brought over to help count the quantity of the supplies, while he himself stayed with the staff, hoping to get closer.

"This batch of electromagnetic rifles is a new modification. Compared with the previous models, the firing power has been improved. Like the previous models, it is compatible with the NATO standard ammunition you are currently equipped with. However, because this type of electromagnetic rifles has reduced the rate of fire, Therefore, it is recommended to use it with the new ammunition that was issued." The staff did not pay much attention to Major Marvin's behavior of soliciting relations, but they still explained the equipment to him.

Major Marvin heard that the rate of fire of this type of electromagnetic rifle was lowered, but he didn't think there was anything wrong, and even thought it was a good thing.

Because for a long time, his troops have not been re-equipped, and the location of the station is relatively remote from the supply point, and there are often things that the supply is not delivered in time, so Major Marvin is particularly concerned about the consumption of ammunition.

In fact, even though the battle was very fierce, in order to save ammunition, Major Marvin's troops tried their best to fight in bursts of three rounds, instead of holding the trigger and not letting go, just finishing one magazine.

After all, it is very cool to directly empty the magazine by pulling the trigger, and the killing effect is also very good, but it consumes too much ammunition.

For Major Marvin's troops, whose logistical supplies are not necessarily delivered on time, every bullet needs to be saved.

So with regard to the rate of fire of the electromagnetic rifle, Major Marvin thought it was a good idea.

"Then what is the rate of fire of this electromagnetic rifle?" Major Marvin asked curiously. According to his estimation, the rate of fire of 300 to 400 rounds per minute is actually an ideal rate of fire. , which can not only ensure firepower, but also reduce the consumption of ammunition to a more acceptable level.

The answer given by the staff did not exceed Major Marvin's expectations: "This electromagnetic rifle has a rate of fire of 350 rounds per minute, three shooting methods, single shot, three bursts and bursts, and the magazine can hold 40 rounds." bullet."
