Chapter 784: The flames of war (I)

The name Pilot mainly comes from Titan, which directly means "pilot of Titan".

But in the world view of Titanfall, the earliest batch of Titans are of course few in number, and businessmen, especially super military-industrial groups like IMC, are certainly not fools.

In order to promote this kind of special operations unit, their driver must be the strongest individual soldier on the battlefield, the best driver, paired with the strongest combat unit——

Even without the Titans, the Pilot must be the deadliest individual soldier on the battlefield.

[Jack: I can help you establish standards for pilot trials, but your technological level is too backward, and your people may not be familiar with firearms yet.]

Halfway through, Jack suddenly felt something was wrong:

Is Latvia lagging behind in technology? It is indeed backward, and the science and engineering level of most people is the level of medieval rural areas.

But he still remembers the modifications Lear made to BT. Even the resistance laboratory couldn't understand that kind of modification.

So he paused, waiting for Lear's reply.

As for Lille, he is now in Latvia's new capital, observing the rebuilding efforts.

In the last war, many people who operated Death Warriors and Rhino mechas had their brain-computer interfaces re-implanted, and also suffered from engineering prostheses and exoskeletons.

This kind of prosthetic body is enough to allow them to obtain extraordinary accuracy, durability and strength. One person can do the work of several people. All the tools are in the backpack for seamless switching. In addition, the adhesive mixed with spider silk mixture, it only takes a few days to build a house that is sheltered from the elements.

This kind of thing is considered a miracle by the locals: just like the guns, cars and other tools used to suppress them were once seen in the hands of the Grand Duke of Latvia.

Only this time, the miracles weren't killing people, and there were no grinning lord guards chasing them away like piggies.

Use technology to rebuild homes, and everyone will want to become a hero in rebuilding their homes.

If you pick up a murder knife, most people will not happily use it to kill people. But if you pick up a hammer that can repair a house, most people will use it to repair the broken house without any psychological pressure.

If someone is breaking into a house, a hammer can serve the same purpose as a knife.

[Lille: They are ready to accept modern science and industrial technology. Maybe they are still very backward, but on a spiritual level, they are ready. 】

[Jack: Okay. What weapons do you think your first batch of pilots and riflemen need? 】

In the world of Titanfall, the main infantry firearms include energy weapons, magnetic rail weapons, and live ammunition weapons are still in service.

Because a pilot is no better than a normal soldier, most of the time it is difficult to move with the squad and carry equipment, ammunition and weapons like ordinary soldiers, so it is necessary to learn to use all types of weapons.

[Lille: Of course it’s live ammunition weapons. There are a lot of live ammunition weapons here, but I can also ask our industrial department to start researching new weapons. 】

The first batch of Pilots will first need to become familiar with live weapons.

In the arsenal of the rebels, there are quite a variety of firearm types, including R-201 rifles, Hemlock repeating rifles, G2A5 precision rifles, and V-47 parallel rifles;

Machine guns include flamethrower; submachine guns include CAR submachine gun, R97 submachine gun; shotgun EVA8 automatic shotgun; pistol RE45 automatic pistol, Hammond P2016, Mozambique.

Even in the arsenal of the rebels, live ammunition weapons are the most abundant, for no other reason:

Before breaking out of the Earth, they were also using live gunpowder weapons.

It can be said that these weapons are actually the final upgraded versions of current military industrial weapons. For example, the R-201 rifle is improved from the SCAR and M4 carbine, and the G2A5 precision rifle is improved from the FAL and M14.

The design of IMC combines the advantages of almost all old-era firearms, and one of them happens to be the most suitable as a first-generation upgraded weapon:

V-47 parallel rifle.

This is an improvement from the AK series, inheriting the advantages of the AK gun series' simple and durable structure, strong reliability, and huge power. At the same time, it takes advantage of better parts accuracy, making the rifle more stable at medium and long distances.

But at the same time, it also refers to the ACR rifle and adds an external modular structure, adding more possible uses without affecting the power of the firearm itself.

The main reason why this gun is called a parallel rifle is because its recoil and shock absorption system have been greatly improved:

The recoil management system, which has been improved, optimized and designed by countless geniuses, will change the vertical recoil of the rifle into the left and right directions. For firearms, it can reduce vibration and wear on the sighting system, increase the service life and reduce the frequency of calibration.

For soldiers, when moving quickly, shooting from cover, or assaulting, the disturbance of the muzzle caused by the parallel recoil will be slightly easier to control.

Overall, this is an advanced firearm that is very suitable for Latvia: because they have just captured a large number of AK series weapons.

And because it is only an improvement in nature, it will not be too difficult for the upcoming Latvian military industry——

[Jack: But even simple firearms require machine production. What are you going to do? 】

Lille looked down at the first batch of Latvian cyborgs that were already using prosthetics:

With strong enemies around, the time to build a house has passed.

[Lille: We don't have those machines for now, but we will hammer out the weapons we need one by one, continue. ]

The parallel rifle will be equipped with the Latvian Army and become a standard weapon.

As for the Iron Pilot, the Iron Pilot needs to complete more projects:

The training program for the first batch of Iron Pilots will be provided by Jack, and Lille will convert the data and encapsulate it into the corresponding chip, so that those who are willing to become Iron Pilots can complete countless high-intensity simulations in a short period of time.

They have to learn how to use a variety of firearms that may appear on the battlefield, including flat rifles, in a virtual scene, and learn how to use the special equipment that can be produced at present:

A three-dimensional movable suit composed of spider silk launchers and magnetic suits, and adapt to the Sian Westin implanted by Lille himself, with sub-second reaction, and respond to threats and shoot within 0.1 seconds-

The Iron Pilot must maintain high-speed movement in a complex battlefield while wearing 20-30 kg of combat equipment, and maintain accurate shooting at 30-50 meters targets while moving on a complex path at 60km/h, with a hit rate of more than 95%.

Shooting is a long-range strike capability, and the coordination test under high-speed movement also includes the use of melee weapons: either their gorilla arms, or mantis knives, or their iron knees.

Finally, there is psychological quality and stress resistance training interspersed in the training: dark environment, isolated space, noise interference.

Everything is aimed at training a warrior who can be called a "Titan" in spirit and combat skills.

[Jack: Even in the virtual space training, the Iron Pilot Trial has a mortality rate. ]

[Lille: I don't expect everyone to pass, just like before the end of the war, you can never be sure that one side will win 100%. ]

[Lille: Finally, I hope you can try to transmit some substances over. ]

The Iron Pilot Trial is just the beginning. To become an Iron Pilot, you need to go through the real test of blood and fire, which is not easy.

But there is nothing easy in this world, especially for people who have nothing.

In the distance, Christopher was training with the guards. As soon as Lear's message was conveyed, he stopped his work -

The war is approaching.
