The next day, Fang Jie returned. In the information processing center, he pestered Song Han and still didn't give up on the idea of the high-precision machine tools in the processing workshop.
Song Han said helplessly, "Brother, is the ticket price of our venue too cheap, or are you too idle every day? Didn't I tell you to contact our official website? It's no use pestering me!"
Fang Jie said dejectedly, "Your science and technology museum doesn't have an official website at all!"
"If there's no official website, we have a parent company and an investment company. You can go to them! Stop bothering me. Don't you see I'm busy?"
"This lousy science and technology museum doesn't have a single visitor every day. What's there to be busy about?"
As he spoke, he looked at the model image on Song Han's computer and was a bit puzzled. "Is this a cold weapon armor?"
Song Han said irritably, "This is a hot weapon armor!"
Fang Jie laughed in surprise. "What kind of armor can withstand a tank shell now? This thing is useless except for being cool."
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something and carefully examined the modeling image on Song Han's screen. "Why is this modeling system different from the one we use?"
Song Han said matter-of-factly, "I'm the curator. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Jie's eyes lit up. "Brother, brother, can you also give me access to this permission?"
"No way!"
"I'll pay more!"
Song Han puffed out his chest and said, "Do I look like I'm short of money?"
Fang Jie pondered for a moment and then slowly opened his mouth, his voice full of devilish temptation. "I have a cousin. She's eighteen years old, as beautiful as the moon and more charming than flowers. People call her a delicate little white flower in Mountain City."
Upon hearing this, Song Han unconsciously licked the corner of his mouth. Why did he suddenly feel that the empty base was a bit lonely and cold?
"Well, it's not impossible. It's just..."
"I understand! I understand!"
Fang Jie quickly smiled apologetically. "How about you add each other's contact information and have a chat first?"
Both of them got what they wanted and sat in front of the computers from a distance, lowering their heads and getting busy.
Early the next morning, Song Han, who was still working hard on his daily tasks and doing exercises, saw the prompt on his wristband that a visitor had entered. He rushed out angrily.
"How dare you come again?"
Fang Jie, who had completed a private job with the high-precision machine tools of the science and technology museum the day before, was in an especially high mood. Just as he was about to show his skills, he looked at Song Han, who was angry, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Your cousin blocked me!"
"That can't be possible!"
Fang Jie asked in confusion, "I specifically praised you in front of her yesterday. Why did she block you? What did you two talk about?"
Song Han said a bitly, "Just the normal greetings."
Heartless Laughter: Hello.
Lost Angel: Hello.
Heartless Laughter: Have you eaten?
Lost Angel: Yes.
Heartless Laughter: What did you eat?
Lost Angel: Hot pot.
Heartless Laughter: Where did you eat it?
Lost Angel: At a hot pot restaurant...
Heartless Laughter: How did you get there?
Lost Angel: By bike.
Heartless Laughter: What kind of bike did you ride?
The other party is not your friend yet. Please add the friend and then start the chat.
Looking away from the computer screen, the two of them looked at each other.
"Is there a problem?"
Fang Jie rubbed his chin in confusion. "It doesn't seem to be a problem either."
"Get out!!"
"Don't be in a hurry. Don't be in a hurry. Actually, I also have a cousin!"
Song Han angrily drove the person out. Looking at the gradually closing gate, he held the handle of the kitchen knife at his waist and had a cold expression. "Women will only affect the speed at which I draw my knife!"
"I just bought the ticket!!!"
...
Not long after driving the person away, under the guidance of the system, Song Han quickly entered a state of deep learning and thinking.
"Is it true that exoskeleton armor really has no use in existing wars?"
The system said calmly, "There are no useless weapons, only wrong scenarios. In the modern war system, even a kitchen knife has its own advantages in close combat. Have you ever thought about the usage scenarios of exoskeleton armor? Do you plan to use it in a line-of-sight battlefield or an out-of-line-of-sight war?"
"Line-of-sight? Out-of-line-of-sight?"
The system explained, "In the existing war system, there are obvious boundaries in the division of the battlefield. Only by conducting targeted thinking and research and development according to the corresponding boundaries can weapons be placed in the right positions. Since the 21st century, wars have been taking place within the atmosphere. Without a breakthrough in underlying technologies, the war levels and the division of linear usage specifications are more complex and have a clear path. In line-of-sight wars, both sides mainly rely on the naked eye or with the help of simple optical devices to directly observe the actions and positions of the other side. The battles usually take place at a relatively close distance, emphasizing close contact and direct confrontation. In out-of-line-of-sight operations, both sides mainly rely on various technical means to conduct reconnaissance, strikes, and combat operations outside the other side's line of sight. The combat distance is farther, and it has stronger concealment and suddenness. So, have you thought about its usage scenarios?"
Song Han scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Can't we mix them?"
"Yes, we can!"
The system said, "To mix and use these two attack methods with the existing technical means is a huge systems engineering. Only after breaking through the underlying technologies can they be unified with one carrier. When the technology is insufficient, the number of people can make up for it. Just like the saying 'long divided, unite; long united, divide', both countries and war methods follow the same cycle logic."
Song Han's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something interesting. He continuously designed parameters in the model system and combined tanks, infantry, combat vehicles, artillery, rocket launchers, helicopters, small reconnaissance drones, air defense systems, and reconnaissance systems to set up a unified entity suitable for both line-of-sight and out-of-line-of-sight modern warfare.
A heavy combined arms brigade?
Shaking his head and throwing away the chaotic thoughts, Song Han asked expectantly, "If I want to confront this kind of army corps in the form of a single soldier, how should I upgrade the exoskeleton armor?"
The system's reply was a bit brisk. "Are you assigning a task to me?"
Upon hearing this, Song Han's face darkened. However, under the ultimate romance of men, he still nodded and admitted it.
"Tell me, how much does it cost?"
"All of it!"
Song Han thought about the balance of 300,000 yuan in his bank card and felt that he could probably accept it.
The task entrustment was reached, and the information fed back by the system in front of Song Han surged like a waterfall.
"With the breakthroughs in energy, materials, and information technology, future wars will show obvious two-level divisions: wars within the atmosphere and wars outside the atmosphere. It can also be compared with line-of-sight and out-of-line-of-sight wars, but under the influence of technological breakthroughs.
"Being able to directly observe the other side with the naked eye or with the help of simple optical devices"
This description of distance has become much farther. Affected by the curvature of the Earth and the linear attack angle of individual portable weapons, a division of five kilometers is a distance determination that conforms to objective laws. And to confront the current world's mainstream heavy army corps in the form of a single soldier, one must decompose the corps' equipment one by one and make corresponding universal modules for horizontal comparison. You need a universal weapon that can freely adjust its power, quickly target individual targets, and also have a power no less than that of the main gun of a main battle tank at a distance of five kilometers. The upgrade of the exoskeleton armor should also consider more internal buffering and prevention of shrapnel damage, and have the survival ability of non-direct hit under covered bombing. In terms of movement speed, it also needs a ground mobile vehicle that can ignore the terrain and is not slower than the current mainstream armored tanks on the battlefield. And for air defense and countermeasures against attacks from out of the line of sight, relying on our existing technical means, we need another carrier for independent design."
As the system information emerged, Song Han's hands began to uncontrollably set and adjust parameters in the simulation system. In a short while, a familiar yet unfamiliar image appeared on the computer screen.
...
"This experimental heavy armor cavalry will return to participate in this year's military confrontation exercise after completing your escort mission. If everything goes well, they will be the future ground heavy troops in our country to replace tanks."
...
"Heavy exoskeleton cavalry?"
With a press of the system's finger, the computer began to automatically demonstrate. Affected by the curvature of the Earth and the shielding of the stealth coating against radar, this heavy cavalry riding a huge mechanical dog slowly approached that huge army corps. At the limit boundary of the curvature observable by the human eye, under the guidance of the built-in computer AI ballistic trajectory, the Gaussian rifle fired first. Firing at full power, the electromagnetic Gaussian rifle, with a power no less than that of the main gun of a mainstream tank, first eliminated the most threatening covered rocket launcher corps.
As the artillery and tank units of the corps counterattacked along the attack route, the cavalry, calculated by the AI ballistic trajectory, began to continuously cruise and maneuver to avoid direct hits. It was like the combat form of nomadic peoples against the legions of farming peoples hundreds of years ago, flexibly cruising outside the clumsy reaction attacks of the corps, and each shot fired brought a violent roar. It was also like peeling an onion, layer by layer, removing all the thick defenses of the opponent. In the end, there were only a group of short-range infantry who had lost their defensive and counterattack means, and they were eliminated one by one under the targeted attacks.
Obviously, it was a modern war with hot weapons in the 21st century, yet it showed the cruel helplessness of the hunting tactics of nomadic civilizations against farming civilizations hundreds of years ago.
Song Han couldn't believe that victory would be so simple. "Then what if out-of-line-of-sight attack means are added, and the other side releases drones for long-range reconnaissance and conducts covered attacks first?"
"You need to load additional modules for air defense and out-of-line-of-sight reconnaissance defense."
With the system's recalculation and operation, unlike the first demonstration, this time a light blue four-rotor flying vehicle hovered above the cavalry's head, surrounding him like a hovering gyrfalcon. The drones released first by the army corps, and the fighter jets took off urgently. The honeycomb system mounted on the four-rotor flying vehicle also began to release many drones, which confronted and self-destructed each other.
When all the air units on both sides were eliminated, the four-rotor flying vehicle began to rise into the air and share the vision with the ground armored cavalry. Under the God's-eye view, the cavalry's attack became more relaxed and comfortable, and it completed the annihilation of the farming corps by the nomadic peoples at a speed nearly 30% faster than in the first round.
Looking at the demonstration result, Song Han murmured, "The Scourge of God!"
As the words fell, a column of light descending from the sky instantly melted that invincible cavalry.
The system said in a teasing tone, "The other side activated the high-altitude optical satellite system for reconnaissance and strike. In fact, the results of these two demonstrations are essentially wars between an advanced civilization and a backward civilization after a breakthrough in underlying technologies. If the technological levels of both sides are on the same level, the display of ground wars will be in another form."
After the system's words fell, the screen showed mechanized unmanned army corps. They spread out far away one by one to avoid concentrated fire attacks from out of the line of sight. They held the same electromagnetic Gaussian rifles and directly charged at each other with the famous skirmish tactics of World War II.
"At this time, war is no longer war but a confrontation between science and technology and productivity."
In the third demonstration, the system added new variables to avoid possible satellite reconnaissance. One side could see the other side, and the other side was a truly invisible enemy. The final result was self-evident.
"Young man!"
The system said in a somewhat bewitching tone, "You need another optical stealth method besides the electromagnetic wave radar stealth coating, which will enable your toy to have the real strength to confront an army corps in modern warfare."
Finally, before falling silent, the system left Song Han with a list of optical and electromagnetism literature names.
