If it were in the past, the military would definitely not consider any close combat issues.

Human beings have been away from the age of cold weapons for hundreds of years, and melee combat in wars has been a few decades ago. With the development of technology, human beings have become increasingly out of face-to-face combat in wars, but rather strikes from outside the sight.

Even fighting within close range of sight, using weapons such as firearms and artillery is enough to kill the opponent when the enemy approaches.

In the past, the military used the method to solve this problem was pistols, which provided soldiers with an assault rifle as the main weapon to fight. When the enemy approached in front of him, they used pistols to fight at close range.

After all, in modern warfare, no one would also equip ordinary soldiers with protective equipment such as body armor or armor. The penetration of the pistol is enough to kill the enemies in front of them.

However, as the battle between humans and alien creatures unfolds, small-caliber weapons are simply scratching the surface of alien creatures, and they cannot even scratch their skin, and become useless things.

What this leads to is the overwhelming disadvantage of humans in close combat between humans and alien creatures.

Although humans can still kill alien creatures at close range with large caliber firepower weapons, once alien creatures attack humans, ordinary soldiers are unable to resist.

The jet backpack developed by Chen Xin previously solved some of the problems above, giving ordinary soldiers at least one chance to regain the distance in close combat.

But this is just a treatment of symptoms, not a treatment of the root cause.

This is especially true for large vehicles like Titans, after all, it is impossible to let Titans fly too.

Even if Chen Xin can do it, the cost is still a big problem. With the technology and resources to make the Titan fly, doing something else can change the situation.

So the Titans must consider the issue of melee combat.

Previously, the general-purpose Titan was easy to say in this regard. Adding bayonets to the weapons they were equipped, or simply carrying a cold weapon like Chen Xin's white dragon can solve the problem of melee combat.

Even though these bayonets and cold weapons only play a self-defense role and will not die so miserably, it has indeed solved the problem to a certain extent.

At least, when encountering an emergency, you can draw your sword to determine life and death, rather than killing yourself.

However, the new model of Titan needs to face this problem. It has indeed saved a lot of resources after removing both arms and replacing them with weapons, reducing unnecessary structures, and making maintenance and production much more convenient.

But similarly, if you lose the grasping ability of both hands, you will not be able to equip melee weapons.

If it was the past, this problem could be solved by infantry accompanying it. Anyway, the synchronous tank coordinates the synchronous tank coordinates, the tank coordinates, and the Titans coordinates the same.

But now... if the attack that Titans cannot stop was attacked by alien creatures, ordinary soldiers can only be considered a big deal and cannot play a big role.

Of course, Chen Xin had prepared and considered this point, and signaled to the staff beside him that after receiving Chen Xin's signal, they pushed out the melee weapons specially prepared for the new model Titan.

It was a large chain saw that matched the size of the Titan.

"When I was designing the new model Titan, I also considered that the weapons needed to be replaced to deal with different tasks. Therefore, the arms of the new model Titan are plug-in. When it needs to be replaced, you only need to pull out the originally installed weapons and you can replace them with new weapons." Chen Xin directed the staff to replace the weapons for the test body, and explained to the military representative who was a little stunned: "This is also for the convenience of logistics maintenance. If the weapon is broken and the body is still intact, you can restore the combat effectiveness by replacing the weapon.

The melee problem you are worried about is also simple. You just need to replace one of your hands with melee weapons to solve this problem.

However, I generally do not recommend this, because if this is done, it will cause the firepower to be weakened.

Of course, this is just a suggestion. How to configure weapons is the business of your military, so I won’t be too much trouble."

"What does Academician Chen say? The design of the new model Titan is already very good. Thanks to Academician Chen, we can have such new equipment!" The military representative said sincere compliments to Chen Xin, but at the same time he did not forget to ask: "Academician Chen, what is the production cost and working hours of the new model Titan? If the existing production line is converted to production, how long will it take to adjust? What changes should be made in the process?"

These are the real key issues. Whether a piece of equipment is easy to use depends on whether it is large enough. No matter how easy it is to make one or two pieces, unless it is a nuclear bomb that can solve the problem, it will be useless.

"Please rest assured that this is the production cost of the new model Titan is one-third more than that of the general model. The parts adopt a simpler design, making it easier to produce, and the technical threshold has been reduced accordingly. More factories can produce these parts." Chen Xin brought military representatives to the new model Titan and continued to introduce: "Because the structure is simpler and the use of modular design, the maintenance has also become much simpler.

If there are enough parts, even if you rely on manpower in the rear maintenance station, you can use spare parts to form one in one day."

"Can you put together a piece of human parts in the repair station?" The military representative was completely shocked. Although he understood from Chen Xin's introduction that the new model Titan's structure is simple and easy to maintain, he never thought that it could reach this level.

It's like someone tells you that there are enough parts that can be used to put a car in a repair shop. This is something beyond the normal range of imagination.

"Theoretically, but under normal circumstances, key components, such as engines, onboard hosts, etc., will not be prepared at the repair station. If these components are damaged, they will still have to return to the repair shop behind before repairing." Chen Xin explained to the military representative.

Although the modular design makes maintenance easier, Chen Xin obviously cannot really let the battlefield repair station ahead be able to match a Titan.

After all, even if it reduces the difficulty and cost of production of parts, the key core components are still quite precise things and cannot be placed in front of the repair station for easy maintenance on the battlefield.

Military representatives can also understand this kind of thing. After all, the simple repair station in the battlefield ahead only serves as a maintenance and repair of some minor problems. It is impossible to really serve as a major repair. In that case, the maintenance cost of the repair station will be too high.
