The Emperor’s Angel of Death

"grown ups!"

　　 Loken seemed to have made some determination, and suddenly raised his head.

　　 "There is one more thing I hope you can take a look at."

"Ok?"

　　 Soshyang looked at him suspiciously, and finally nodded.

　　 Then Loken led him to the door of Warehouse No. 1, and after taking a deep breath, the technical priest opened the door.

"this is……"

As the heavy metal gate slowly opened, a row of illuminated **** arranged on the ceiling of the warehouse lit up in turn, allowing twelve roaring steel beasts to emerge from the darkness, and Soshyan seemed to have broken into the den of a group of beasts. , Surprised them.

　　 Each of these metal monsters has the size of a super long Riemann Ruth heavy tank.

Soshyan walked into the warehouse and observed them carefully. These huge blue-gray bodies measuring 8 meters high and 5 meters wide were covered with rivets and fixing bolts. The track alone was as wide as a person, and the prismatic turret had enough An artillery as thick as an interstellar warrior's torso glowed with pitch-black oil under the light, like the fangs of a beast.

　　 "...I have never seen such a tank."

　　 "They are Makado heavy tanks, an ancient model that has almost been forgotten. Currently only Ma’kande II is still in production. They are also the pride of my mentor."

　　 Loken stepped forward and stroked the steel behemoth, softly as if he was petting his lover.

The Makado heavy tank is an extremely old design model. Many people think it is even the predecessor of Riemann Russ, but since the Great Rebellion, it is no longer uncommon in the imperial army, and few people even know that there is such a model. Kind of tank.

　　 In many areas of the empire, the Makado heavy tank has been fully decommissioned since the end of the rebellion, which gave rise to the prejudice that it is a heretical, indigenous armored vehicle in some areas.

　　 But in the era of the Great Expedition, it used to be one of the common equipment of the mortal auxiliary army.

Over time, a small part of the Makado heavy tanks still serving in the empire were either withdrawn to the strategic reserve area, or to the planetary interior and various other "preparatory fronts", and some were simply removed. Certain imperial defense forces are equipped as a tradition.

　　Even most of the casting world no longer produces new Macado bodies or improved models. As for the exact origin and provenance of the Macado heavy tanks, it is difficult to find out even for the mechanics.

　　Most people think that this type of tank is named after the magic pattern Makado-but he himself, as the personal adviser of the early emperor himself, is an extremely secretive figure.

　　 This reason, used by some theorists as the basis for accusing the tank design model, is most likely from the years that followed immediately after the outbreak of the Horus Rebellion.

　　Due to the urgent need for all kinds of combat supplies during that time-after all, too many things were lost in the war, including knowledge and production capacity, and even the ancient Rand attackers became dedicated to the Astartes.

　　 Therefore, even something like Macado is very likely to be turned out to be mass-produced for emergency use.

　　 But, like most things that come to age, they have become all kinds of mysteries.

　　Although it is intended to act as a main battle tank, the original Macado model is larger and heavier than the well-known Riemann Rus.

The tank itself is extremely durable due to its huge shape and heavy armor. It is equipped with a powerful main battle gun on a turret with limited shooting angle. The two secondary weapon points can be equipped with heavy logging machine guns, heavy bombs, laser cannons or Small automatic cannon.

　　 But also due to the premature age, the design of the tank has certain limitations, especially when compared with the smaller Riemann Russ.

The first point is the firing angle of the weapon. Due to the huge tank body, heavy armor and additional weapons, the firing angle of all weapons is restricted. The main and auxiliary turrets that cannot rotate at the same time appear under the chaotic encounter when the front line is infiltrated. Extremely weak, enemy infantry can also take advantage of these disadvantages.

　　 Despite this, experienced commanders will also combine infantry with it.

　　 However, the second flaw of the tank-the weakness of the engine is not so easy to overcome.

The main engine of the Makado heavy tank is an ancient combustion power engine and a modification used in many industrial and agricultural heavy machinery. Unfortunately, the size and weight of the Makado heavy tank make It is overloaded.

　　 This makes it perform very poorly in terms of logistics, and its fuel efficiency is extremely poor.

　　 If you want to further increase the engine power, it is inevitable to increase the tonnage of the tank again-because the only way to increase the power is to increase the number of engines.

　　 To put it simply, the design of the Makado heavy tank has fallen into the dilemma of adding more water to the surface and adding more water to the surface.

　　 This may be the real reason why it was abandoned.

"...The instructor has been improving the Makado heavy tank. He canceled the auxiliary turret, gave the main battery enough shooting range, and replaced it with his improved composite power engine, which is enough to make the Makado heavy tank run well. Manruth is as fast."

　　 At the same time Loken introduced, Soshyan himself was also observing this type of tank.

As the other party said, the Makado heavy tank in front of you really only has one main turret, which is different from most of the armor of the Empire, and the front of the car body has been cut into a **** with a 50° angle, making the original very thick Armored defense power has improved.

As for the secondary weapon, it is a heavy-explosive bullet gun on the front of the car body, and an external automatic cannon on each side of the car body. This design reduces the number of crew members by two, and only needs 4-5 people. Can fight.

Soshyan admitted that the improved Makado heavy tank is a trustworthy weapon, and it will even perform better than Riemann Rus in breakthrough battles and tug-of-wars~www.NovelMTL.com~ after all Tonnage and defense have more advantages than Riemann Ruth, and the potential for improvement is also quite huge.

　　The key to the question is, what does Loken want to do?

　　 "Priest Loken."

　　 Soshyan retracted his gaze from the Makado heavy tank and turned to the chattering mechanical priest.

　　 "What do you mean by taking me to see these?"

　　 Loken's shoulders froze visible to the naked eye, and then slowly turned around.

　　 There was a stiff smile on his face, and he said:

　　 "My lord, my lord, after listening to the great deeds of your battle group, I...I also want to make some contributions to the empire."

　　 "This is not our property, nor yours."

　　 Soshyang stared at Loken, his voice gradually sinking.

Under the gaze of the star warrior, Loken's psychological defense finally collapsed. He lowered his head like a kid who did something wrong, and said: ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ .còм

　　 "I...that...your ship...is there still...a technical priest missing..."

　　 Loken lowered his head, what he didn't see was that a smile appeared on Soshyang's face.

　　 just as he guessed.

　　 "Are you afraid of accountability?"

　　 "No, no, no! It's definitely not accountability, they will only get revenge! They hate my mentor and hate me! They will not let this opportunity pass!"

　　 Loken raised his head, his tongue knotted with tension.
