Magazine capacity: 15 round
[Ammunition: 14.5 mm steel spikes]
Quadruple-mounted individual missile launcher

This missile can employ an anti-personnel high-explosive warhead, a tandem warhead with enhanced armor-piercing capabilities, and a fuel-air explosive (thermobaric) warhead for targeting clustered targets.
After looking at the weapon that Platinum had chosen, Lorraine asked a question.
"Are you planning to equip everyone with Gauss weapons?"
Platinum nodded and gave her explanation.
"After switching to Gauss weapons, the ammunition carrying capacity of each unit, except for Xuan Tie, can be increased by at least 50%. Combined with the high-energy batteries that come with the Gauss weapons, combat capabilities and combat duration can be greatly enhanced."
Platinum paused for a moment, then continued.
"The saved propellant and copper can be used to make more ammunition."
After listening to Platinum's explanation, Lorraine opened the database and began to check the manufacturing requirements for the three weapons.
After carefully reviewing the manufacturing requirements of these three weapons, Lorraine's first inquiry was about the Xuan Tie's replacement plan.
"Remove the 40mm grenade launcher and install a general-purpose Gauss rifle and a quadruple individual missile launcher."
Seeing that Bai Jin had clearly and concisely explained Xuan Tie's equipment change plan, Lorraine asked her to explain the equipment change plan for the entire team.
"The twin-mounted light machine gun on the kheshig's back was converted into a general-purpose Gauss rifle with a 210-round drum magazine."
"The light machine guns on Tengu and Roy's backs were also replaced with general-purpose Gauss rifles that use 210-round drum magazines."
"The cat replaced the 12.7mm sniper rifle on its back with a sniper-type Gauss rifle."
"I, on the other hand, carried a general-purpose Gauss rifle with a 90-round drum magazine."
After listening to Platinum's equipment change plan, Lorraine began to calculate the most economical equipment change plan.
"Use two of the five weapon selection packs to redeem a quadruple manned missile launcher and a sniper Gauss rifle. The remaining four general-purpose Gauss rifles can be produced by modifying existing firearms."
"This will save three weapon selection packs for emergencies."
Platinum nodded, having no objection.
After confirming everything was correct, Lorraine used two weapon selection packs and then arranged for the mechanical dogs to go to the processing center to change their equipment.
After resolving the issue of weapons and equipment, Lorraine returned to Ouyang Nian's side and asked if there was any urgently needed equipment.
Lin Shu was the first to speak and answer.
"There is only one chemical protection system that needs to be exchanged now, which includes both decontamination and chemical protection equipment."
"After the medical room was equipped with that set of research equipment, it was already at level 3. According to the current data, the materials required for a level 2 hydroponic farm are relatively simple."
After Lin Shu finished answering, Ouyang Nian added.
"Current industrial components are fully capable of producing all items below level 3. What you need now is a better power system, such as this integrated power system, which can improve energy efficiency by 50%."
"We can hold off on the powertrain system for now."
Seeing Ouyang Nian's puzzled look, Luo Lin replied.
"I'm not sure about the current construction progress of the littoral combat ship in the dock, nor do I know what equipment has been installed inside. If it has an integrated power system, we can save a piece of equipment selection."
"Then I have no problem."
After confirming that all the problems had been resolved, Lorraine told everyone to go back and rest.
The next morning, Luo Lin summoned Ouyang Nian and Bai Jin to find Chief Designer Huang Zhihui and Military Representative Chen Zhigang to inquire about the information on the two ships and the progress of the project.
Huang Zhihui first pointed to the littoral combat ship in the adjacent dock and said.
"The Blade-class littoral combat ship has completed most of its hull construction, and the outfitting progress has reached 60%. The equipment, piping, ventilation, and electrical systems are all completed, but the ironwork, internal outfitting, and weapons have not yet begun."
Then, Huang Zhihui pointed to the catamaran in front of him and said.
"This is our military's new high-speed catamaran transport ship, codenamed Vanguard. It is equipped with two GT-3000 heavy gas turbines with a rated power of 35 megawatts each, and the propulsion system uses four CPS-1400 waterjet propulsion units, which allows this high-speed catamaran transport ship to speed across the sea at 45 knots."
"The standard displacement of this type of transport ship is 1600 tons, the full load displacement is 2800 tons, the draft is 4 meters, and the maximum range is 1800 nautical miles."
"The cargo hold is 4 meters high and has a volume of 6000 cubic meters. There is a helicopter landing platform on the top of the cargo hold for temporary helicopter parking."
"Its stern features a heavy-duty crane and a foldable ramp. The crane can not only move two-ton cargoes, but also deploy and recover small landing craft."
After introducing the ship's specific parameters, Huang Zhihui gestured for Chen Zhigang to describe the ship's armed forces.
「其自卫系统为4台改进型的雷射拦截武器，标準输出功率100千瓦，最大射程8千米，可在1600米的距离上击穿3层5毫米钢板。」
"It has multi-target engagement capability, can complete target switching and aiming within 5 seconds, and can effectively capture targets with a flight speed of less than 100 meters per second and a diameter of less than three meters."
"However, it is worth noting that when all four laser interceptor weapons are operating at full power, the transport ship's maximum speed will be reduced to 30 knots."
After hearing the various data about the Vanguard-class high-speed transport ship, Lorraine's first question was about the ship's construction progress.
"The outfitting work is complete, and the painting work is currently underway, which is expected to be completed in 5 days."
Lorraine nodded, and then asked the two men to introduce the Blade-class littoral combat ship behind him.
"The Blade-class littoral combat ship is equipped with two GT-4000 heavy gas turbines with a rated power of 45 megawatts. It has an advanced integrated electric power system and a propulsion system using four CPS-2000 waterjet propulsion units, with a maximum speed of 50 knots."
"Standard displacement 2000 tons, full load displacement 2800 tons, maximum range 1600 nautical miles."
"Thanks to its unique trimaran design, this model possesses exceptional stealth capabilities and a large amount of rear space."
"This model has a separate mission compartment beneath its large aft deck, equipped with a stern hatch, a pair of cranes, and a folding ramp."
"With its equipped boom, it can deploy and retrieve small boats, underwater sensors, and various unmanned underwater vehicles."
"After the folding ramps are opened, light armored vehicles can also be transported by roll."
