Chapter 3409 (2/2)
It can be seen from these settings that the power armor of warships is not prepared for combat at all. Even though the guy in front of him was wearing power armor, his combat effectiveness was one third of that of a marine. After all, it doesn't have a few weapons on its power armor, but it has good defense. However, if the meat shield that can be carried is not exported at all, what is the use of higher defense?
Looking at the warship soldier who roared up, Ling calmly raised his left hand and held the other party's neck. It didn't feel like Ling was reaching out to attack. Instead, it was like the other party actively put his neck into Ling's raised palm.
After pinching the guy's neck, Ling didn't feel soft. His thumb pushed up slightly, and his head immediately turned to the abnormal direction. Then Ling let go of his hand and stepped back. The corpse of that guy hit the ground with a thump of stone, and there was no movement.
The other warship soldiers nearby were stunned for a moment, and then someone reacted and took out the main weapon hanging by the jet backpack behind.
After all, if a warship sinks in space, it is difficult for people without their own power to escape. Not to mention the consequences of floating in the universe, it is extremely dangerous if it is accidentally floated in front of your own artillery, or accidentally drifted into the tail nozzle of other warships. Of course, there is also the possibility of being hit by artillery fire on the opposite side. Although the enemy does not usually use artillery fire to hit those abandoned warships, the other side will not take the initiative to avoid these people, so it is possible to be accidentally rubbed. And even if the firepower between warships is wiped away at close range, the power armor on their bodies will definitely be destroyed, so it is necessary to have power.
But that's the end of the Sith Empire's technology. The thrusters on their warship power armor are special devices that rely on liquid oxygen and current accelerators. The liquid oxygen from the pack can be used to accelerate the oxygen release from the cylinder.
In fact, this kind of jetting method is similar to the thruster backpack on the spacesuit that humans just entered the universe at the beginning of the 20th century. However, the propulsion backpack at that time relied on the pressure in the high-pressure gas cylinder to spray automatically, and did not rely on electricity for secondary acceleration. Therefore, it consumed very fast and could not support the flight for too long. However, this kind of jet backpack of the Sith Empire is much more advanced and has been used for a long time, and the oxygen in the cylinder is not completely used for jet propellant. The oxygen in the cylinder is also used to provide breathing to the warships in the powered armor. Unlike the air filled oxygen cylinders used by diving clubs, the power armor of the Sith warships used pure oxygen.
When people breathe, what they consume is actually only oxygen in the air. Other gases will not be consumed, but more carbon dioxide will be contained. Therefore, if the normal proportion of air is filled, most of the space in the cylinder will be occupied by useless gas. After all, the oxygen content in the air is less than 21%, and the rest is the gas that human does not need γ But people can't directly breathe pure oxygen, otherwise it will be oxygen poisoning. So the way the device works is to recycle the gas that the user exhales, pumping out the excess carbon dioxide, and sending it to the nozzle, which is used as a propellant. In this process, the system will automatically extract pure oxygen from the oxygen bottle and add it to the circulating gas, so that the oxygen content in the gas from the user's respiratory tract is always maintained at a basically stable standard.
The biggest advantage of this method of circulating gas is that the oxygen cylinder with the same volume can hold nearly four times more oxygen, and the excess oxygen can also be used as propellant, which can make the warships and soldiers fly directly to the nearby rescue ships or any nearby ships on their own side. In any case, self rescue is promising.
Of course. The jet system is quite large because it carries oxygen cylinders. Those power armors are carrying this thing on their backs, almost catching up with the backpack behind our power armor. But it's not just thrusters behind our power armor. The thing behind our power armor is not only a plasma thruster, but also a weapon backpack, which has a versatile folding weapon module and a small backup energy device. Its function is much more complicated than this. So it's about the size of their backpacks. As a result, the backpacks of these guys are as big as the thrusters.
The weapon that these guys hang on the side of their weapons backpacks is a pretty fancy device. The equipment on the side of the backpack is not a rifle, but a shotgun. Yes, it's a shotgun.
What are the characteristics of shotguns?It has the advantages of short range, wide strike area and great power in medium and short range.
These features don't seem to work, at least for people in space. But, in fact, this is the best weapon for warships. Why? The reason is simple. Warship soldiers have not received good combat training, so the hit rate of rifles is generally much lower than that of Marines. Then what shall I do? It's simple. Don't you miss your aim? Use the shotgun. It's not easy to miss a shot, is it? Moreover, the power of the shotgun is well known. If you encounter an attack at ultra close range, holding a shotgun is definitely more deterrent than holding a rifle, because the enemy knows that you will die if you hit him, but if he hits you, he may not be able to kill you.
Of course, the slow firing speed and short attack distance of shotguns are also a problem. But none of this is a problem.
Warship soldiers do not need to charge. They need to use guns to indicate that the warship is finished or is resisting the invasion of the enemy Marines inside the warship. If it's a shipwreck, they just have to run or defend. In this case, it doesn't make much sense to want to shoot at a speed and range. As long as it can deter the enemy and hinder the pursuit of the other party, the range and firing speed of the shotgun are not problems in this case. As for the fact that the enemy invades its own warships, it is much simpler. In addition to special areas such as the flight deck, most parts of the warship are narrow passages. The firing distance is not too far, so the range advantage is meaningless. As for the problem of slow firing speed In fact, the advantage of firepower coverage is enough to make up for the problem of firing speed.
In short, it is a consensus in the universe that warships and soldiers are equipped with shotgun weapons. Of course, the creators' technological strength is relatively high, so they don't use ordinary shotguns, but multi-functional electromagnetic rifles. In addition to the main ammunition shooting port, this weapon also has a hanging launching port, which can be regarded as a large caliber shotgun, and can also launch a variety of large caliber ammunition such as special grenades. As for pilgrims, it's even more exaggerated. All of them will basically have a surface kill weapon similar to a shotgun. After all, the pilgrims are famous for their protection of their own people.
After these guys took out their weapons, they aimed at ling here, but Ling didn't move, but coldly looked at these people. βIt seems that you are not going to live. There's no way. β
