Chapter 179 Humanoid Combat Robot
Upon hearing Lorraine's abrupt question, Yao Guang's holographic image was momentarily stunned. Seeing this, Lorraine was quite certain that Yao Guang's database contained information about the Deep Dive Mode.
Seeing her reaction, Lorraine didn't press further, but instead steered the conversation back to clearing Lania Island.
How much weaponry do you currently have in stock?
The vehicle inventory is as follows:
[30 Type 19 heavy main battle tanks (15 tanks/company x 3 companies)]
[30 Type 09A tracked infantry fighting vehicles (15 vehicles per company x 3 companies)]
Six Type 09 120mm self-propelled mortars/howitzers
Five armored command vehicles
30 tracked armored recovery vehicles
[120 Type 21 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles (15 vehicles per company x 8 companies)]
[40 Type 21 wheeled assault guns (5 guns/company x 8 companies)]
Six HJ-18 anti-tank missile launchers
[3 Type 625 wheeled close-in weapon systems]
Six quadruple-mounted 35mm anti-aircraft gun vehicles
Six sets of HQ-21 short-range air defense systems
[18 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzers]
[12 sets of the JY-9 loitering munition launch system]
[120 "Lynx" six-wheeled assault vehicles]
[300 Hornet Electric Off-Road Motorcycles]
But when Yao Guang mentioned weapons reserves, she thought for a moment and finally told Lorraine about his weapons reserves in the most concise language.
The underground base has enough individual weapons to equip two reinforced infantry regiments.
"Then can you simultaneously upgrade the industry and deploy armed forces to eliminate all threats on Lania Island?"
Yes, but the industrial upgrading process will take longer, and the order of upgrading will need to be adjusted.
With the 3D spraying technology you provided, the timeframe for industrial upgrading will not be extended by more than 20%. The specific timeframe will depend on the armed forces required to be deployed on Lania Island.
Lorraine nodded, then turned his attention back to upgrading the existing equipment and making it unmanned.
The preliminary design for the unmanned modification of the Type 21 wheeled armored vehicle family has been completed.
The main challenge in the current unmanned transformation lies in the Type 19 heavy main battle tank and the Type 09 vehicle family. Although these armored vehicles possess a high level of information technology, their internal structure needs to be adjusted for fully unmanned transformation. My suggestion is to equip these vehicles with humanoid robots and spider robots.
During this period, neither side mentioned the unmanned transformation of 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzers and air defense equipment.
The reason why the unmanned conversion of 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzers was not mentioned is because these weapons were designed with remote firing capability from the beginning, and only need to be equipped with some robots that can perform shell loading.
The reason why the unmanned transformation of air defense equipment was not mentioned is because these air defense equipment need to be significantly upgraded. Therefore, at this stage, both sides' attitude towards air defense equipment is that as long as it is usable, that's enough.
Because the electromagnetic railgun technology obtained in Lorraine has low energy consumption, existing armored vehicles can unleash the full power of this railgun with only a slight upgrade to their power systems.
During their conversation, all of Lorraine's original unmanned combat vehicles were upgraded and replaced. Now, the unmanned combat units parked inside the transport ships and dock landing ships are all sentinel robots and hound multi-purpose platforms.
The logistics and engineering units have also been completely equipped with horse-drawn transport platforms and spider-shaped robots.
After discussing the unmanned modification, Lorraine inquired about the production status of the exoskeleton armor and individual flight devices from Yao Guang.
Production is complete, but the issue of miniaturizing the power armor's energy source remains unresolved. To allow for free movement, a large battery backpack needs to be installed on its back, which will significantly reduce the space available for weapons and equipment.
"In other words, it can be used, but its combat effectiveness is limited."
Yes, due to limitations in smelting technology, these powered armors cannot be moved using individual flight devices; currently produced gravity armors weigh a ton each.
"After industrial upgrading, will this power armor be able to reach the level of its original design?"
Yao Guang nodded decisively.
After understanding the general situation, Lorraine and the others followed Yao Guang to the training ground of the underground base, where they would test the various capabilities of the first batch of full-size humanoid robots.
Upon arriving at the training ground, Lorraine was not greeted by a full-size humanoid robot that matched the design drawings exactly.
However, he was not surprised by this. Before the problem of energy miniaturization was solved, this was already the limit that Yao Guang's combat command intelligence could achieve.
This batch of robots consists of 120 people, arranged in 12 rows, for a total of 10 rows. Just by looking at their appearance, Lorraine can tell what responsibilities these robots will undertake.
The two rows of robots at the front were covered in heavy armor. On their left hands were two-meter-high and 1.5-meter-wide shields that could cover their entire bodies. On the outside of their right arms were belt-fed shotguns, and on the outside of their right thighs were melee weapons.
Behind these two rows of heavily armed robots, the robot appears somewhat slender. It wields a QJD-10 electromagnetic machine gun, has a magazine-fed shotgun mounted on the outside of its left arm, and a QSD-10 electromagnetic pistol with a 35-round long magazine mounted on the outside of its right arm.

It wields a QJD-10 electromagnetic machine gun, has a magazine-fed shotgun mounted on the outside of its left arm, and a QSD-10 electromagnetic pistol with a 35-round long magazine mounted on the outside of its right arm.
Behind the two rows of assault robots is a row of slightly bulky robots, each holding a flamethrower in their hands, with fuel tanks on their backs sufficient for 40 shots or 20 seconds of continuous spraying.
Behind the flamethrower robot are sniper robots wielding different weapons. Their size is similar to that of the assault robots, but their load-bearing structures have been reinforced.
These sniper robots can carry the QUD-10 electromagnetic sniper rifle, the QUD-11 electromagnetic sniper grenade launcher, and the QUD-12 14.5mm anti-materiel electromagnetic sniper rifle.
The last two rows of support robots are the same size as the heavy robots, each wielding a grenade launcher and a QBD-10 40mm electromagnetic cannon.
After seeing the last two rows of robots, Lorraine remained silent for a moment. Then he instructed Yao Guang to assign the combat robot holding a grenade launcher to the field unit, since he needed these robots to assist the unmanned combat group in clearing the oil drilling platform.
The exercise then began, with each row of robots forming a class. These 12 classes entered the training ground in an orderly manner, and three classes were grouped together to begin live-fire exercises.
An hour later, all the live-fire exercises came to an end, and Lorraine began to think about the type of robot he needed.
The first robot eliminated by Lorraine was the support robot with a handheld grenade launcher and a 40mm electromagnetic cannon. The next robot eliminated was the sniper robot with a handheld grenade launcher and an anti-materiel electromagnetic sniper rifle.
Considering the combat environment, Lorraine ultimately chose to include heavy-armored robots, assault robots, and sniper robots equipped with QUD-10 electromagnetic sniper rifles into the combat sequence.
