歷史資料：
???? 十年前沃爾庫塔曾發(fā)生一次抗議活動，上百名蘇聯(lián)戰(zhàn)斗工程師及造船工人因反對蘇聯(lián)磁暴技術(shù)的研究而鋃鐺入獄。將臭名昭彰的磁暴武器用于海軍的首次嘗試——“電鰩”級突擊快艇終究還是于第二年投入量產(chǎn)。特斯拉線圈及其衍生產(chǎn)品一直都由蘇聯(lián)實驗科學(xué)部負(fù)責(zé)，電鰩也不例外。實驗科學(xué)部不斷從性能日志中獲取的數(shù)據(jù)，用于改良電鰩快艇。部里保證，目前的型號是最安全、最好用的一款。

????
???? 電鰩由生于莫斯科的古怪科學(xué)家羅曼·格羅扎維特茲（Roman Grozavitz）所首創(chuàng)，磁暴步兵裝甲服里仍在使用的便攜電容器也是他的發(fā)明。那會兒他正打算給自己的私人快艇裝一對磁暴線圈，用于其頻繁捕魚活動。在格羅扎維特茲看來，特斯拉線圈不僅抓魚效率很高，而且抓的時候還能順便把魚烤熟——他就喜歡這樣的。漸漸地，這個奇特的想法成了一種執(zhí)念。格羅扎維特茲廢寢忘食地改造他的快艇，將船身替換成了橡膠皮的絕緣材質(zhì)，加裝了一套輕便高效的電力供應(yīng)設(shè)備。格羅扎維特茲忙活這事，不僅沒娶到妻室，也花光了儲蓄的盧布，不過好在蘇聯(lián)實驗科學(xué)部注意到了他，招他入伙，給他提供津貼和住宿，格羅扎維特茲得以繼續(xù)從事這“危險電刑領(lǐng)域勇敢……創(chuàng)新的探索”（實驗部周刊在那時的報道內(nèi)容）。不久后，電鰩這個想法擱以前那是天方夜譚——或者至少說是愚蠢的點子，現(xiàn)在確變成了現(xiàn)實。這款迅速的快艇裝備有電力武器，能將活魚等生物蒸發(fā)至微小粒子。時至今日，有些人仍認(rèn)為晚年的格羅扎維特茲是一位英雄，挖掘了尼古拉·特斯拉畢生事業(yè)中所潛在的破壞力。

? ? ?
????為突擊快艇配備絕緣船體、加裝磁暴武器，蘇聯(lián)剛掌握這些技術(shù)后，實驗科學(xué)部就對原型設(shè)計激動地研究了許多改良。唯一一個耗時多年才解決的問題便是電鰩的可折疊機(jī)械腿。這些機(jī)械腿長得與昆蟲的六條腿十分相像，也與鐮刀的有異曲同工之妙，有了它們，電鰩就能爬上粗糙地面了。至于為什么研究這么一種裝置，那是因為蘇聯(lián)的敵人們一度意識到了對付電鰩的最好方法就是在內(nèi)陸進(jìn)行反擊，欺負(fù)電鰩磁暴槍射程有限，船體裝甲薄弱。經(jīng)過改裝后，電鰩就可以上岸了，陸地也就安全不再了。
????這種船只本身就有潛在危險，故蘇聯(lián)征召了地位低下的科學(xué)家，派他們?nèi)ゲ倏v電鰩，并告訴它們只要出色完成艇上工作，就給大筆薪酬和上周刊專訪的機(jī)會。

戰(zhàn)場筆記：?通過戰(zhàn)地偵察，已獲悉電鰩至少具有以下幾個特征：

• 磁暴線圈——電鰩最顯著的特征莫過于那兩臺磁暴線圈槍，盡管和蘇聯(lián)典型的防衛(wèi)武器相比有些迷你，但威力仍非?？膳?。這一對線圈槍每次都只能對同一目標(biāo)發(fā)射致命的一擊電流。

• 磁暴突波——電鰩可以通過增幅線圈，重新設(shè)定船體內(nèi)數(shù)百萬電容器的電壓，進(jìn)而向周圍水域放射出高強(qiáng)度高傷害的電流。電鰩如此做時會短暫短路，但除此之外就并無不利了——附近的東西可就遭殃了。電鰩的發(fā)明者羅曼·格羅扎維特茲最初用這種技術(shù)來捕魚，而如今，操作手則用它對付盟軍海豚師團(tuán)。

• 陸走水游——電鰩日前已經(jīng)完全能進(jìn)行兩棲作戰(zhàn)了，不過通常它們還是在海面上泛舟。于陸地作戰(zhàn)時，電鰩行動緩慢，但兩棲能力確實對發(fā)動奇襲和沿海襲掠有很大幫助。

• 易損科技——電鰩的輕裝甲說明了它只是一款試驗性、且由民間首創(chuàng)的船只。常規(guī)的武器都能輕易破壞其船身，損毀內(nèi)部相當(dāng)不穩(wěn)定的設(shè)備。因此，蘇聯(lián)并不鼓勵電鰩拼命作戰(zhàn)或是先發(fā)制人。

history

In the Vorkuta Unrest ten years ago, hundreds of Soviet combat engineers and shipwrights were corralled and given strict sentences in response to their attempted protest of the Soviet Union's continued research into its Tesla-based weapons technology. The stingray-class strike vessel--a first attempt at a naval weapons platform featuring the Soviets' infamous electric coilguns--nevertheless went into full production the following year. The Soviet Ministry of Experimental Science, responsible for the Tesla Coil and all its spin-offs including this one, has continued tinkering with and revising the stingray design ever since, obsessively iterating on its capabilities by continually mining data from stingray performance logs. The current model, assures the Ministry, is the safest and most effective yet.

?

?

The stingray is the Soviet Union's lightest, quickest,

and most maneuverable platform able to use its feared Tesla technology.

Pictured is one of the many failed variants.

?

The stingray was first invented when the eccentric Moscow-born scientist Roman Grozavitz, responsible for the portable capacitors still used in the Tesla trooper armored suits, decided to outfit his private speed boat with a pair of Tesla coils in order to enhance his frequent fishing expeditions. The coils, he assumed, would not only be used to effectively hunt the fish, but would simultaneously cook them to a burnt crip, just as he liked. This whim gradually became an obsession; Grozavitz worked tirelessly to outfit his boat with a rubber-coated, insulated hull and a power supply that was light yet efficient. While the work left him wifeless and rubleless, the Soviet Ministry of Experimental Science took notice and took him under its wing, granting subsidies and providing accommodations for the "brave ... innovative exploration into the science of lethal electrocution," as the Ministry Weekly Journal reported at the time. Soon enough, the Soviet Union was crafting that which was previously considered impossible, or at least stupid: fast-moving ships fitted with electrifying weapons that could reduce more than just fish down to their elementary particles. Today, some still consider the late Grozavitz a hero for helping unearth some of the true destructive potential of Nikola Tesla's lifetime of work.

?

?

Once limited to the seas, the latest versions of the stingray feature collapsible movers

that allow these vehicles to climb up onto dry land.

?

Once the Union understood how to create fast-moving strike ship with insulated hulls and Tesla-based weaponry, the Ministry of Experimental Science excitedly explored various improvements to the original design. The only one that stuck after all these years are the stingray's collapsible movers, which resemble the six legs of an insect, and allow the vessel to move on dry land over rough-hewn terrain, much like the Sickle security vehicle. The need for this arose as the Union's enemies realized that the best way to retaliate against stingray assaults was to fight them from inland, capitalizing on the limited range of the Tesla coilguns as well as the light armor of these ships. Now that they can move onto shore, the enemies of the Union are no longer safe even on land.

?

Because of the inherent danger in the design of these ships, the Union recruited scientists in poor standing to operate them, offering them generous-sounding compensation packages and an opportunity to be featured in the Weekly Journal in exchange for successful tours of duty.

notes

Battlefield reconnaissance has revealed at least these facts about the Stingray:

?

? Tesla coilguns -- The most prominent feature of the stingray strike craft is its set of twin Tesla coilguns, which are much smaller than the Union's emblematic defensive weapons yet still extremely dangerous. Both coilguns are always brought to bear on a single target, for a lethal dose of alternating current.

?

? The Tesla surge -- By amplifying its coilguns to redirect voltage through millions of capacitors in the hull, the stingray is able to radiate extreme levels of electrical current through surrounding waters. While this briefly short-circuits the vessel, it suffers no lasting harm, unlike anything else nearby. Stingray inventor R. Grozavitz originally used this technique for fishing, and today, stingray operators use it to combat Allied dolphin divisions.

?

? Movers and shakers -- Stingrays recently gained fully-amphibious capability, although the seas are their natural habitat. On land, stingrays move slowly and awkwardly, although the ability to get up onto shore does help make these vessels well-suited to surprise attacks and coastal raids.

?

? Delicate science -- The stingray's experimental, nonmilitary roots are most evident in the vehicle's light armor: Conventional weapons can easily punch through the stingray's hull, rupturing the rather unstable equipment inside. Stingray operators are therefore encouraged to fight bravely and strike first.
