The field used to test the Ranger's performance was the field field used to test Peacekeeper-028.
In track wheel mode, after starting, the Ranger's speed soars, which is eye-catching.
According to the timely introduction by Bart Wildhammer, the Rangers are equipped with the latest special geocentric power furnace of their dwarves. The maximum cross-country speed can reach 147 kilometers per hour! On urban roads, the speed is still
Can become faster!
As a military weapon that should be classified as an 'armored fighting vehicle' or 'mecha', this mobility is already quite astonishing.
At least it has completely destroyed the original main battle tank of their civilization of all worlds!
The four separate track wheels made the Ranger's steering more flexible. With its amazing off-road speed, the Ranger soon ushered in the first steep mountainous terrain.
Before rushing into the mountainous area, the Rangers obviously began to control the speed. After letting the speed slow down a little, the four track wheels quickly deformed and transformed into four mechanical legs!
The whole transformation process is very smooth. The Ranger in the form of mechanical legs looks like a weird mecha spider.
Although the Ranger's four mechanical legs are completely different in shape and design from the Peacekeeper-028's deformed mechanical legs, the core technology is obviously the same.
Therefore, after having previous experience, it can be said that Xuan Ye and the others have done an excellent job in this part.
The ranger converted into mechanical leg mode and quickly rushed into the mountainous area. Within the mountainous area, various 'enemies' began to pop up randomly.
The Rangers were unambiguous. While using their four mechanical legs to move quickly, part of the armor on both sides of the spherical body quickly opened and flipped over, revealing the two special eight-barreled Flame Dragon Cannons that had been built in!
After the muzzle rotated several times, it spit out ferocious fire snakes, which instantly smashed the randomly popped-up 'enemy' into pieces.
At the same time, another 'enemy' popped up from another location.
The angle was very tricky, even to Luo Ji, it seemed a bit evil.
Under the circumstances at that time, it was basically impossible for normal equipment to counterattack in a short time.
However, the most powerful point of the design of the tank mecha lies here!
I saw the ranger who had just opened fire and destroyed an enemy. At the moment when he captured the second enemy, the four mechanical legs had not yet moved, but the spherical main body turned sideways extremely abruptly.
Coupled with the two eight-barreled Flame Dragon Cannons that can also rotate and adjust the angle, the target was completely locked on in a short period of time, and then it was strafed to pieces with heavy firepower!
Seeing this scene, Luo Ji couldn't help but applaud.
Before seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that Xuan Ye and the others actually did this.
Judging from the design drawings, the spherical body of the Ranger should be divided into two layers: inner and outer.
It feels almost like the white and yolk of an egg.
The cockpit at the core is the 'yolk', and the outer sphere carrying the weapon system, defense system and part of the power system is the 'protein'.
When the outer sphere rotates, the cockpit can actually be fixed.
Of course, if necessary, the cockpit can also be rotated, it all depends on the driver's operation.
It can be said that the test at the outdoor venue went very smoothly. Luo Ji, who had been mentally prepared for it, felt his eyes light up with his overall performance.
Later, in order to further test the performance of the Rangers, the Ordnance Research Department even prepared a city venue.
Because according to them, based on the Ranger's flexibility and size advantages, its advantages can actually become greater in complex urban battlefields.
The urban site used for testing was, of course, not a real urban site. It was just a special environment with paved roads and some simulated city buildings built around it.
Luo Ji was very satisfied with the test results. In the urban environment, the speed displayed by the Rangers completely exceeded his expectations.
Under this premise, the manufacturing cost was within Luo Ji's acceptable range.
And the only question he has now is...
"Bart, from the design drawings, when the Ranger's spherical body rotates to adjust the attack angle, the four mechanical legs below will not rotate with it, but there is a special connection, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Bart Wildhammer nodded after hearing this. He probably knew what Luo Ji's next question would be.
"If the connection between the Ranger's mechanical legs and the spherical body is damaged, the impact on the Rangers should be very large, right?"
This is an unavoidable problem, and at the same time, Bart Wildhammer and the others have already anticipated it.
"Your Majesty, please come with me."
As he spoke, Bart Wildhammer led Luo Ji to the bottom of the Rangers.
At this moment, the Rangers were still in the form of mechanical legs. After walking in, Luo Ji could clearly see every structure. The shell of the entire spherical body was not as rounded as it looked from a distance.
"Your Majesty, please look this way."
As he spoke, Bart Wildhammer pointed at the connection between the mechanical legs and the spherical body.
"The periphery of this connection is actually equipped with a protective shell. According to this protection strength, it is very difficult for ordinary light weapons to cause obvious damage. At the same time, because the ranger is not huge in size, so
It is actually not that easy for large weapons to lock on to this point and carry out precise strikes. Coupled with the mobility of the Rangers themselves, there is a possibility that the connection will be damaged, but the chance is actually not high."
Listening to Bart Wildhammer's explanation, Luo Ji nodded slightly.
In any case, Luo Ji was still very satisfied with this ranger. The only shortcoming at the moment was probably the lack of firepower.
Although the firepower of the two specially designed eight-barreled Flame Dragon Cannons is not bad, if they are against some heavy units with high armor and high defense, the output will be a little insufficient.
Thinking of this, Luo Ji subconsciously asked...
"I'm very satisfied with the Rangers. They can be put into mass production. Let's initially produce a thousand units. Then, how are you developing the two models of 'Ares' and 'Destroyer'? You should also know that light
The rangers alone don't have enough firepower."
"Well, hehehehe..."
Hearing this, Bart Wildhammer and the others laughed dryly, rubbed their hands together, and made a "Your Majesty, you understand" gesture.
