Chapter 48 Digging a Hole

All three modification directions will affect the vehicle's appearance, so these three modification directions are fundamentally incompatible.

After receiving a clear answer from Peng Qi, Dong Qi didn't need to think too much and directly chose the attack-side modification direction.

Defensive modifications go without saying; as long as the vehicle's grade is continuously improved, the vehicle's own defensive capabilities will also continuously increase.

Therefore, there is no need to add external armor to improve its own defense. When Dong Qi upgrades his natal vehicle to the next grade, the added external armor may not be as defensive as the natal vehicle's own shell.

As for the modified chassis and power system for speed testing, it's not that Dong Qi looks down on the members of the research institute, although the transmission system is not as reinforced to its limit as the body frame.

However, its quality has long since transcended that of ordinary artifacts and reached the level of magical artifacts. It's not that those researchers couldn't obtain high-quality metal alloys.

Just by looking at Peng Qi's attitude towards Dong Qi, one can guess that even if the other party speaks nicely, the materials he uses are basically ordinary alloys that can be easily obtained.

Needless to say, the quality of the materials provided is vastly different from that of a transmission system that has undergone several rounds of reinforcement.

As for modifying the chassis and adding mobile tracks, Dong Qi believes that this is an unreliable solution.

Therefore, it was not that Dong Qi arbitrarily chose the direction of reform, but rather that there was actually only one direction left for Dong Qi to choose.

Seeing that Dong Qi had chosen the direction of attack-side modification without hesitation.

Peng Qi hadn't expected Dong Qi to be so decisive. After a slight pause, he said, "Based on your vehicle's strength and appearance, the simplest modification is to add a turret to the roof."

Upon hearing Peng Qi's words, Dong Qi immediately envisioned the appearance of his vehicle after a turret was added to its top.

Tsk tsk tsk~~~Isn't this the fast heavy firepower support vehicle that's always been popular in China?

Use vehicles with strong off-road mobility as the body, and install various heavy weapons on the top of the vehicle.

I knew Peng Qi would fool me, but I didn't expect it to be so easy.

However, it's not wrong to say that this plan is a mature and feasible one.

After all, this modification scheme has undergone many years of combat testing by the Chinese side, and it is not only powerful in firepower, but also very flexible in use.

After all, the vehicle body and the heavy firepower it carries are two independent systems temporarily combined together, so no matter which of these two systems malfunctions, it will not have much impact on the other part.

Seeing Dong Qi's slightly disdainful look, Peng Qi said with some dissatisfaction, "I knew you would think this plan is rubbish after you hear it."

But I want to tell you that using this modification method will not have a significant impact on your vehicle.

Don't forget, the most important thing now is to ensure that your car, after being modified, can continue to be enhanced under the influence of your superpowers, rather than directly modifying or replacing the internal parts of the vehicle.

Did you notice that the three modification directions I mentioned earlier, even the speed-oriented ones, which require modifying the chassis and tracks, only involve adding additional tracks and do not alter the overall body of your vehicle?

The current consideration is how to ensure that after the car is modified, you won't be affected when using your special abilities, rather than directly enhancing the vehicle by replacing a large number of internal parts.

Upon hearing Peng Qi's explanation, the slight emotion that had just arisen in Dong Qi's heart instantly dissipated.

Ignoring Dong Qi's silence, Peng Qi continued, "Furthermore, no matter what, even if our Great Xia Research Institute uses the same modification scheme as those guerrillas, the weapons they use are not the junk that those guerrillas arbitrarily installed."

As for what kind of weapons to install, I can offer you several different options.

C37 Sniper Rifle: Accurate aim within 3,000 meters, with a maximum effective range of 7,000 meters. Equipped with 25mm armor-piercing rounds, it can easily penetrate even the most sturdy skull of a rhinoceros from the front.

G5 Sniper Cannon: Precision range of 1,000 meters, maximum effective range of 5,000 meters, equipped with 40mm armor-piercing rounds, effective kill radius of 5 meters, ordinary building exterior walls are a joke in front of it.

M10 Howitzer: 152 mm barrel caliber, capable of firing conventional high-explosive shells, armor-piercing shells, and small thermobaric shells.

Q63 Multi-Port Rocket Launcher Platform: Can launch up to nine rockets with a caliber of 113 mm at a time.

The A12 Close-In Weapon System: the absolute king of firepower on the battlefield, with a maximum rate of fire of 135 rounds per second and a maximum magazine capacity of 3,000 rounds.

The last one, although it's an experimental weapon, is the one I most recommend you install: the Thunder Dragon Electromagnetic Cannon.

Although this electromagnetic weapon has not yet been officially deployed, its technology is already very mature. It has a barrel caliber of 100 mm, a precision strike range of 100 km, and can fire solid metal bullets as well as a variety of different special ammunition.

If you choose this weapon, I can tell you the specific parameters of solid metal bullets, so you can easily find any metal processing plant to manufacture solid metal ammunition.

After listening to Peng Qi's introduction of several weapons, especially the electromagnetic weapon that he emphasized, Dong Qi was not happy at all; instead, he had an ominous feeling.

Peng Qi claimed to be considering Dong Qi's best interests, but in reality, no matter which modification project Dong Qi chose, it would be a huge pitfall.

Putting everything else aside, let's first look at the bullets used by these weapons. Which one is a general-purpose bullet? They are all special-purpose bullets.

If obtaining general-purpose bullets is a difficulty level of 10, obtaining specific special-purpose bullets would be at least ten times more difficult.

Especially during this period, obtaining ammunition was even more difficult.

Besides, don't think that getting special bullets will make you powerful. Peng Qi may have nice words, but in reality, these weapons are not the latest equipment of Great Xia. On the contrary, they are the kind of equipment that will be phased out and relegated to the second line.

Although, as Peng Qi said, they were certainly better than the weapons used by the guerrillas, they were still obsolete for the front-line troops of the Great Xia.

As for that so-called new electromagnetic railgun from the laboratory, Dong Qi was speechless. Back on Earth, the electromagnetic railguns that China had announced already had a range of over 200 kilometers.

Everyone knows that the weapon parameters released by China are for weapons that are nearing obsolescence, and are by no means the latest weapon parameters.

The Great Xia on Earth and the Chinese on Earth are two sides of the same coin in a parallel world, and their ways of doing things and their personalities are almost identical.

Therefore, Dong Qi might believe to some extent that Peng Qi said the electromagnetic railgun technology was mature, but he would not believe it at all when it was said to be the latest model weapon.

Not to mention the emergence of Awakened Ones, the frequency of weapon upgrades will likely increase dramatically.
