DipNovel Chapter 41: High Damage with the Left Hand
Chapter 41: High Damage with the Left Hand
As the sun rises in the east, its rays gradually spread across the earth, illuminating a vast and open land.
As the camera moved, a dense and quiet cluster of camouflage tents gradually appeared in the live stream.
"Beep beep beep~"
Suddenly, a loud and clear bugle call rang out, as if it were about to shake the heavens and the earth awake.
In less than three minutes, the camouflage tents were buzzing with excitement.
One after another, fully armed soldiers, each accompanied by their own disciplined dogs, rushed out of their tents and then stood in a straight square formation in the open space.
"Right face! Right turn! Run!"
As slogans rose and fell, the camera gradually zoomed out, and then one formation after another appeared in the frame, gradually converging into a long, endless line of people.
Just as the audience was marveling at the scene, the camera suddenly switched to the outside of a warehouse.
"Boom!"
With the roar of engines, one tank after another slowly drove out of the warehouse, then faster and faster, farther and farther away, gradually disappearing into the dust, leaving only a cloud of dust in the sky.
The live stream then switched to the drone's perspective.
A thick cloud of dust, pulled by the tank formation, gradually draped the vast land in a thin, gray veil.
Just then, the drone suddenly zoomed in a little and activated its speed measurement function, marking the speed of each tank in the scene: 165 km/h.
This speed immediately caused many people's expressions to change drastically.
Because the speed of most main battle tanks in the world is between 70-80 km/h.
Yes, the speed of mainstream main battle tanks is only around 80 km/h, and that is the maximum speed of tanks on hard-paved roads.
If it's a non-paved road...
Even a small electric scooter might be faster than a main battle tank!
This is one of the reasons why pickup trucks are sometimes more useful than tanks.
However, the tanks in the live stream are now traveling at twice the speed of mainstream tanks under ideal conditions!
And this happened on an unpaved road!?
Outrageous!
However, upon closer reflection, it's not entirely absurd: compared to the Luan Bird space carrier, high-speed tanks are just so-so.
But then again, aren't there just too many of these high-speed tanks?
There are at least dozens of high-speed tanks in the picture.
There are probably quite a few things outside the frame as well.
This means that the University of Tokyo's tanks have basically all been replaced with new high-speed tanks!?
Thinking about it further, so the weapons and equipment sold at the previous exhibition were actually weapons and equipment that the University of Tokyo had phased out!?
Just as everyone was lost in thought, the scene changed again: four other mainstream main battle tanks appeared side by side on one side of the front of the high-speed tank formation.
Before anyone could think, the lead high-speed tank suddenly locked its tread wheels completely, making a high-speed emergency stop and scraping two deep marks on the ground.
The tanks behind made a sharp turn, perfectly avoiding those tanks that came to a sudden stop at high speed.
"Boom boom boom~"
The tanks had barely come to a stop when their cannons opened fire.
Subsequently, the main battle tanks in front of the high-speed tank group were shrouded in smoke, and some dark figures flew out from the smoke.
Once the high-speed tanks that had come to an abrupt stop started moving again, the main battle tanks also came into view, and it was clear that thick smoke was billowing from the inside out of the main battle tanks.
It was obvious that the main battle tanks were destroyed by a single shot from the high-speed tank.
It's also clear that those high-speed tanks weren't just for show; they were real machines that were fast and accurate.
Unfortunately, these two performances by the high-speed tanks only caused a stir among onlookers, while those in the know, after experiencing the speed firsthand, remarked: "Is that all?"
Of course, that's not all.
Just when those in the know thought they had weathered many storms and could remain calm even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of them, the live broadcast suddenly split in two.
One scene shows main battle tanks from various locations, belching thick smoke and already scrapped. The other scene shows the main battle tanks from various locations starting from a point, then moving rapidly for ten kilometers, and finally stopping on a tank that has never been seen before.
It should be a tank, right?
Although that tank was larger than other tanks, and its gun barrel was longer than other tanks, the shape of a tank could still be seen, so it was another new type of tank!
Just as the audience was speculating, the drone very considerately began to approach the tank.
The first thing that catches the eye is the small anti-aircraft machine gun and smoke grenade launcher on the top, followed by the external backpack and heat dissipation grille at the rear of the vehicle.
Once it reaches a certain altitude, the drone begins to move horizontally, and the tilted skirt and tracks gradually appear in the view.
As the camera moved, viewers confirmed that it was a new type of tank.
This tank has a split design, with a chassis featuring four sets of wide tracks.
Suddenly, the drone rose slightly, revealing the weapons of the new tank in the frame, which made the audience gasp.
The new tank's weapon is not a rounded cannon barrel, but an electromagnetic linear cannon with a large-caliber hexagonal barrel.
The muzzle has a flash stop/recoil control device, and the barrel is also covered with cooling pipes and electromagnetic coils.
So, this is an electromagnetic railgun tank!?
Just as the audience regained their breath, the drone suddenly retreated at high speed for a short distance.
"boom!"
A loud, heavy bang suddenly rang out, and the electromagnetic railgun tank jerked to a halt under the impact of the massive recoil, instantly kicking up dust around the tracks.
At the same time, a short but thick cloud of dust rose in front of the cannon muzzle, rolling and spreading into the distance.
In the blink of an eye, the main battle tanks in the other scene suddenly shuddered, and then their parts flew everywhere like a shower of flowers, finally scattering all over the ground.
After the dust settled, the main battle tanks that had been billowing thick smoke had completely disappeared from the scene, leaving only scattered wreckage of varying sizes.
"Bang!"
The landing of the electromagnetic railgun tank's shell casing brought the audience back to their senses. They looked at the line of text on the screen with either surprise or horror: "Linear railgun tank 12 kilometers from the enemy, hit the target with one shot and successfully destroyed the target!"
One shot, and it hit!?
Basic operations are not a big deal.
However, it destroyed four mainstream main battle tanks side by side with a single shot!?
Moreover, it destroyed four mainstream main battle tanks with a single shot from 12 kilometers away!?
How are the other tanks supposed to survive?
It should be noted that the normal range of a tank is only 1.5 to 2 kilometers, and the maximum range is only 4 kilometers.
This means that other tanks are just moving targets in front of linear gun tanks, and slow-moving targets at that!
Besides tanks, which are slow-moving ground targets, there is another moving aerial target in front of linear artillery tanks: helicopters!
武装直升机飞行高度约4500至6000米，极限高度约6000至7000米，反坦克飞弹射程约3至8公里，火箭弹射程约1至3公里，机炮射程约500米至1.5公里。
Therefore, both the flight altitude of the armed helicopter and the range of its weapons are within the range of the linear cannon!
Therefore, as long as a linear artillery tank can detect an armed helicopter, the armed helicopter is a moving target in the air!
Thinking about this, some people got goosebumps: linear artillery tanks, how terrifying!
Suddenly, the live stream switched again.
