    ??

    If it were in the past, the military would definitely not consider the issue of close combat.

    Human beings have been out of the cold weapon age for hundreds of years, and close combat in wars has been a matter of decades ago. With the development of science and technology, human beings have increasingly separated from face-to-face combat in wars, and fought outside the visual range.  of blow.

    Even in close-range combat, using weapons such as firearms and artillery is enough to kill the enemy when it gets close.

    In the past, the military used pistols to solve this problem. Soldiers were equipped with an assault rifle as the main weapon for combat. When the enemy approached, they used pistols for close combat.

    After all, in modern warfare, no one will equip ordinary soldiers with protective equipment such as body armor or armor. The penetrating power of a pistol is enough to kill the enemy in front of them.

    However, as the battle between humans and alien creatures unfolds, small-caliber weapons are completely ineffective against alien creatures, and cannot even scratch their skin, making them useless.

    And what this leads to is that in the close combat between humans and alien creatures, humans are at an overwhelming disadvantage.

    Although humans can still kill alien creatures at close range with large-caliber firepower weapons, once alien creatures attack humans, ordinary soldiers are unable to resist them.

    The jetpack developed by Chen Xin previously solved some of these problems, giving ordinary soldiers at least a chance to regain distance in close combat.

    But this is only a symptomatic treatment, not a permanent cure.

    This is especially true for large vehicles like Titan. After all, it is impossible to make Titan fly.

    Even if Chen Xin can do it, the cost is still a big problem. With the technology and resources to make Titan fly, doing something else can change the situation of the battle.

    So Titans must consider the issue of close combat.

    In the past, the general-purpose Titan was easy to say in this regard. Adding a bayonet to the equipped weapon, or simply bringing a cold weapon like Chen Xin's White Dragon, can solve the problem of close combat.

    Even though these bayonets and cold weapons are only for self-defense and will not lead to such a tragic death, they do solve the problem to a certain extent.

    At least, when encountering an emergency, you can draw your sword to decide life and death instead of just killing at the neck.

    But the new model of Titan needs to face this problem. Removing the arms and replacing them with weapons does save a lot of resources, reduces unnecessary structures, and makes maintenance and production much more convenient.

    But similarly, if you lose the ability to grasp your hands, you will not be able to equip melee weapons.

    If it were in the past, this problem could be solved by accompanying infantry. Anyway, infantry and tanks cooperate with infantry and tanks. Tanks cooperate, and Titans also cooperate with each other.

    But now if an alien creature breaks through, even the Titans will not be able to stop the attack, and ordinary soldiers can only be considered as a nuisance and will not play a big role.

    Of course, Chen Xin had already prepared and considered this. He signaled to the staff on the side. After receiving Chen Xin's signal, they launched the melee weapons specially prepared for the new model of Titan.

    It was a large chainsaw matching the size of a Titan.

    "When designing the new model of Titan, I also considered the need to replace weapons to cope with different missions. Therefore, the arms of the new model of Titan are plug-in. When replacement is needed, only the originally installed weapons need to be pulled out.  When you come down, you can replace it with new weapons." Chen Xin directed the staff to replace the weapons on the test machine while explaining to the stunned military representatives on the side: "This is also for the convenience of logistical maintenance. If the weapon is damaged,  , but the body is still intact, you can restore its combat effectiveness by replacing the weapons.

    The melee problem you are worried about is also simple. You only need to replace one of your hands with a melee weapon to solve this problem.

    But generally I don¡¯t recommend doing this, because doing so will weaken the firepower.

    Of course, this is just a suggestion. The specific configuration of weapons is your military's business, so I won't say anything about it.  "

    "What are you talking about, Academician Chen? The design of the new model of Titan is already very good. It's all thanks to you, Academician Chen, that we can have such new equipment for use!" The military representative said sincere compliments to Chen Xin  , but at the same time he did not forget to ask: "Academician Chen, what are the production costs and labor hours of the new model of Titan? If the existing production line is converted, how long will it take to adjust? What changes need to be made in the process?"

    These are the real key questions. Whether a piece of equipment is easy to use depends on whether it isThe quantity is large enough, and no matter how useful it is, if you can only make one or two pieces, unless it is a nuclear bomb that can solve the problem with one piece, it is all in vain.

    "Don't worry about this. The production cost of the new model Titan is one-third lower than that of the universal model. The parts adopt a simpler design, which makes it easier to produce. The technical threshold is also lowered accordingly, and more products can be produced.  The factory will produce these parts." Chen Xin led the military representatives to the new model of Titan and continued to introduce: "Because the structure is streamlined and the modular design is adopted, maintenance has become much simpler.

    If there are enough parts, in the maintenance station at the rear, even if it is just relying on manpower, one can be put together with spare parts in one day.  "

    "Can you build one with parts in a repair station?" The military representative was completely shocked. Although he understood from Chen Xin's introduction that the structure of the new Titan model was simple and easy to maintain, he never thought that it could actually reach this level.  kind of degree.

    This is like someone telling you that there are enough parts and a car can be built for you in a garage. This is something beyond the scope of normal imagination.

    "Theoretically, it is possible, but under normal circumstances, key parts, such as engines, airborne mainframes and the like, are not prepared at repair stations. Damage to these parts still has to be returned to the repair shop behind for repair.  "Chen Xin explained to the military representatives.

    Although the modular design makes maintenance easier, it is obviously impossible for Chen Xin to say that he can actually build a Titan at the front field repair station.

    After all, even if he reduces the difficulty and cost of producing parts, the key core components are still quite precise and cannot be placed in a repair station in the front for simple maintenance on the battlefield.

    Military representatives can also understand this kind of thing. After all, the simple repair station in the front field only plays a role in maintaining and repairing some minor problems. It is impossible to say that it can really play the role of major repairs. In that case, the maintenance cost of the repair station will be  It's just too high.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
