Chekov soon had the opportunity to prove himself. The Yanguo people summoned all the Lucians and introduced them in detail to the currently known types and abilities of alien creatures. Living samples of planetary organisms.
If Chekov really wanted to prove his ability, he would stand up and demand a duel with alien creatures at this time. Although he would be punished and imprisoned afterwards, this would indeed prove that humans can defeat alien creatures. good chance.
But when he saw the Yanguo people directly holding a pistol equipped by Lucia's army through the cage and emptying a magazine at the alien creature, while the alien creature was unharmed, even if he was drunk, he dared to fight Chekov, who was fighting hand to hand with a bear, couldn't help but become scared.
Although he is usually rather reckless, it is not like his brain is all about muscles and he cannot tell the difference in combat power at all.
Although the power of the pistol is not high, it is too outrageous that it cannot even penetrate the shell of a creature at close range.
Even if there are elephants and rhinos among the pachyderms on the earth that can withstand shooting from small-caliber pistols by relying on their rough skin and thick flesh, it is not like the bullets in front of them can't even make a dent when hit, or even A ricochet state also occurred.
Chekov himself has used the military pistol and has a deep understanding of its power. Even if the steel plate is shot, there should be a dent or something, but now the alien creature's shell directly resists like a steel plate. This is really a bit scary.
And after comparing the size of the alien creatures with his own size, Chekov also lost the idea of ??fighting the alien creatures in close combat, but he did not feel that the alien creatures were invincible.
"Vasily, do you think that if you use a bazooka to shoot at close range, can you kill alien creatures?" Chekov asked his friend next to him in a low voice, still the same far-fetched idea he had put forward before.
But this time, Vasily was really considering his statement. After thinking about it seriously, he said: "It's okay to use the bazooka rocket launcher, but you just heard the introduction from the Yanguo people. Alien creatures appear like a tide. Yes, how many bazookas do you think you need to defeat them?"
Of course, the bazooka rocket launcher can kill alien creatures, which the Yanguo people have already proved on the battlefield, but they also do not think that equipping all soldiers with a rocket launcher is a way to defeat alien creatures.
This is not to say that rocket launchers cannot destroy alien creatures, but it is not worth the cost of war and the killing efficiency is not enough.
To give the simplest example, the rocket launcher was originally invented to hit tanks. It is undoubtedly very profitable to destroy a tank with one rocket.
But if you use a rocket launcher to attack infantry, one rocket can knock out a squad, which is still a loss in war, because in theory, it only takes one bullet to kill a squad.
Of course, this is not how it is calculated in actual wars. Sometimes, in order to capture a strategic location, it is worth paying no matter how high the price is.
But in the battle with alien creatures, humans must calculate the cost.
Because for alien creatures, although lower-level sub-bodies such as combat sub-bodies are not reduced to the status of bullets, they are not much better. They are just cannon fodder and consumables on the battlefield. They are extremely cheap things.
As I said just now, it is a profit to destroy a tank with one rocket, but it is undoubtedly a loss to destroy only one infantryman.
Especially when alien creatures throw lower-level offspring into the battlefield as consumables like bullets, using rockets to block bullets is not only very wasteful, but also very inefficient.
After a rocket is fired, it needs to be reloaded, and during this time, the soldier who fired the rocket has been torn apart eight times by other alien creatures that rushed up.
It is precisely because of this that the Yanguo army gave up the idea of ??using rocket launchers and instead equipped all infantry with exoskeletons and heavy machine guns that can penetrate the outer shells of alien creatures. They directly used heavy machine guns to shoot instead of using rocket launchers. .
The Lucians also clearly realized the huge gap between themselves and alien creatures in this demonstration. At the same time, they also understood that equipping soldiers with armor-piercing bombs and grenade launchers can indeed kill alien creatures, but they still cannot achieve victory. The other party's purpose is just to allow him to die with dignity and to have some support before being torn to pieces by alien creatures.
But this is still a style of play that makes the battle loss ratio ugly.
??For humans to train a qualified warrior, it takes at least sixteen years for a baby to grow from birth to a level that can serve in the military, and another few months to a year or two for training.
But alien creatures only need a few months or even a few days or hours to hatch new combat offspring, and there is always an endless supply of them.
If we fight for consumption like this, humans simply don¡¯t have enough population to compete with alien creatures.
This is also the reason why the Yan Kingdom accepted the reinforcements sent by the Lucians and planned to upgrade their equipment. With one more country participating in the war and one more soldier on the battlefield, at least one more resource can be consumed.
Although it is very cruel or callous to say this, for war, an ordinary soldier is just a resource to be consumed, but the generals need to decide where to consume it and how to consume it efficiently. significance.
What the Yan Kingdom military is doing now is to ensure that the resources provided by Lucia will not be wasted or consumed meaninglessly, but that they can display their value and show the significance of their existence on the battlefield.
"The equipment we provide you is not too much. After all, we don't have enough equipment ourselves, so what we can provide you is an exoskeleton with a jetpack, but it does not come with an armor plate. We will provide you with the armor plate drawings. , you can have it produced in your country and then shipped to you, although I don¡¯t think a thin iron plate can have much protective effect in front of alien creatures." Chen Xin was currently introducing the offer to the top brass of the Lucia Army. Give them the equipment.
The top brass of Lucia's army didn't think there was any problem with the exoskeleton not having an armor plate. After all, they had seen what alien creatures looked like. An extra layer of armor plate was just to keep the alien creatures from tearing apart. The film becomes a tear-off box and that's it.
"What about weapons?" These Lucia officers are more concerned about weapons than armor.
Chen Xin raised a sci-fi-looking gun on the table and said: "The trial model No. 2 electromagnetic rifle launches 9mm nail bullets from an electromagnetic track. Its penetrating power is no less than that of traditional 12.7mm armor-piercing bullets. It is effective against alien creatures." Cause effective damage."
