Chapter 500: Innovative Equipment
"The production line has started to operate. It is estimated that we need a month to let the workers familiarize themselves with the process before the production can be put on track." In the office, Odemayer was holding a data board and observing the situation.
Just as she said, the current production is meaningless. She let the production line flow just to let the workers adapt to the work rhythm in the factory.
4 hours of work, 2 hours of study, 2 hours of training, and one hour in between for commuting and rest. Odemayer left the rest of the time to them. It was not that she really wanted people to live a good and easy life, but the soul stripping symptoms caused by the 40% energy output of the Geller stand required a certain amount of time to recover.
If there were really demons infiltrating, the energy output of the Geller stand would have to be increased to 80%, and then the Redemption Army with a thicker faith barrier would go to clean up the corruption and save the unlucky people who didn't have time to escape.
Working too long in the Geller stand under the blessing of Black Stone would easily make workers consumable, and Odemayer didn't want to start a new round of basic education.
"Factory production, production line supporting facilities, and a lot of messy things. Let Dilia and the others handle these things. I have made the skeleton, and I will not take care of the remaining details."
Odermaier yawned, and then threw the data board in his hand into Lin Fan's hand. She stood up and asked Lin Fan to follow her pace. The two walked in the tower overlooking the industrial area.
"What has that stupid boy been doing these days?"
Lin Fan knew that this was asking about Perturabo's situation. He thought about it and then answered, "He is busy making statues and building blueprints, and occasionally goes to the agricultural area to pick vegetables to eat."
"Hehe. This guy is really idle. Didn't you say he is very capable?"
"He is enjoying his life now. If he wants to help, he has to take it slowly."
"Okay."
A wall rises and falls, and inside is a heavy explosion-proof door. After the door is opened, there is a pipe assembled by coils, which is always releasing surging thunder, enough to make any intruder think carefully.
Odemaier's body raised a layer of shield, and Lightning avoided the shield. Lin Fan relied on his body to resist and passed through the tunnel with Odemaier.
Behind the tunnel is the place where Odemaier studies military weapons. Here are all the heavy firepower equipment of the 37th Regiment, such as Hydra anti-aircraft guns, Chimera transport vehicles, and Leman Russ tanks.
But the number of these armored vehicles is not large. Although sponsored by Sage Chaos, the 37th Regiment is still an infantry regiment in the supply standard of the Military Affairs Department, not a pure armored regiment.
If you still remember the organization and combat process of the Imperial Astra Military, you will know that most of the empire's legions do not have the so-called infantry-tank coordination and air-ground integrated combat.
In order to avoid the rebellion of the mortal army, the Imperial Astra Military has always assembled thousands of infantry regiments, armored regiments, and artillery regiments to form an expeditionary force, and then integrated training on the way to transportation.
The cultural differences between regiments make joint training between troops a management disaster. No one with a brain will take over such a laborious and thankless job.
Not to mention that there are still huge differences between infantry regiments. This regiment may be equipped with standard laser rifles, while the next regiment may be equipped with automatic rifles. They have difficulty aiming and rely purely on reckless attack.
In Odmayer's eyes, the design concept of these durable armored vehicles makes her scalp numb.
None of the vehicles have any anti-gravity suspension equipment. God knows how these equipment struggled in complex terrain and were ambushed by the enemy one by one.
The first thing Odmayer did after taking over these equipment was to solve the problem of flexibility, and then to solve the problem of observation.
The tracks were not completely disassembled. These things have been tested by thousands of years of war and are still effective, which means that the opponents are also very capable.
The main enemies faced by the Empire are the Greenskins and Chaos. The armored forces used by these two forces have almost no anti-gravity suspension design. In addition, the Tau Empire, the Eldar, and the Necrons have popularized anti-gravity suspension vehicles, and pure tracked armored vehicles are extremely rare.
Odmayer redesigned the engine and equipped it with an anti-gravity suspension generator. If the terrain is too bad, the tank crew can adjust the energy delivered to the tracks to the anti-gravity suspension generator.
As for the observation problem, Odmayer entered the interior of the Leman Russ tank. In addition to relying on the spots of the auspex to determine the enemy's position, the tank crew can only obtain combat information from a few observation holes and the commander's body leaning out.
Odmayer specially made a perception coating for this purpose, and a helmet that can penetrate the coating for the commander to use.
In this way, the commander does not have to lean out and observe the combat situation in the hail of bullets. He only needs to wear a helmet and turn his head to see the situation outside from the inside of the car body.
But Odmayer still looks down on the Leman Russ series tanks. This thing is too stupid from any angle.
The overly high body, the over-the-top and unprotected tracks, the narrow turret space, and the weird firing range of the body machine guns, these design concepts were eliminated as early as World War II. God knows what the guys of the Mechanicus are doing.
"Maybe when they dug the grave, they happened to dig up a tank blueprint designed in World War I, and then Leman Russ was born." Lin Fan could only use this excuse to answer Odmaier's question.
"We must produce new armored units. These things are too stupid." Odmaier patted the armor of Leman Russ.
"Then you will upgrade these armors?"
"Practice, and since they have been built, don't waste them."
"Then do you want to make some combat mechas?"
"Combat mechas?"
"Yes, like knights and Titans."
Odmaier pinched her nose more melancholy, and her temples began to throb.
After a long time, she sighed and looked at Lin Fan seriously.
"Combat mechas are good-looking, but they are not practical. You have time to build a flexible joint system, and your tanks have already been made."
Odmaier described to Lin Fan the romance and stupidity of mechas.
Apart from looking good, humanoid mechas have basically all the disadvantages, such as relatively greater consumption, more technical limitations, difficulty in maintenance, and a large area exposed to bullets.
