Chapter 1558： Sincere smile

Number sy-9, a huge cosmic laboratory near the planet Ailan Siris is using its own rotation to simulate huge gravity.

Its huge toroidal living cabin does not rotate fast, because of its huge size, it does not need to be rotated quickly.

The light of the sun shines through the already-scaled Dyson ball umbrella panel, shining on the body of this super huge man-made space laboratory, reflecting the gray-white light.

The flashing outline lights were like breathing, and the huge golden eagle emblem slowly rotated to the place where the sun could shine, and gradually emerged from the darkness, full of majesty.

Inside the heavy shell, under the protection of two airtight cabins, in a huge office, an engineer in a white coat pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at the data on the monitor with a serious expression on his face.

With the current technology of the Ailan Hill Empire, myopia is no longer an incurable disease, but many people are still used to wearing glasses, because the auxiliary function of glasses provides a lot of convenience.

It can project a lot of information and can also provide the function of a headset, so it is a "pendant" for many technicians, and it is very convenient to use.

Of course, there is also a part of the reason, because wearing glasses can make less confident technical nerds more comfortable. They are used to protecting themselves behind masks. Glasses can provide psychological hints in this regard.

To put it bluntly, it means that you are not handsome enough. Hanging glasses decorations on your face can make up for the disadvantage of the small nose bridge and enhance the overall image.

And if he is a handsome guy... nonsense! A handsome guy with glasses is also a handsome guy, even a bald guy is also a handsome guy. Is there anything to discuss about this?

"It now appears that there is a problem with the idea of ​​using a large number of thrusters in the universe." Behind him, a beautiful female engineer leaned down, saw the series of data and said.

Grabbing the bitter tea in front of him and blowing on the heat evaporating from it, the engineer with glasses agreed without looking back: "Yes, instead of installing propellers in all directions, it gives the fighter jets more powerful maneuverability. , It’s better to choose a simpler way."

The female engineer stood up, put the tablet computer in her hand on the table curiously, and repeated the words of the male colleague just now: "Easier way?"

"Remember Uipa?" The male engineer took a sip of bitter tea and felt refreshed, so he tapped twice on the keyboard and called up a set of old information: "I think this kind of obsolete atmosphere Weapons, you can still try it out."

"Of course I remember, that outdated... wait... you mean?" The female engineer frowned, as if she realized something, and looked at the uipa data on the screen with some expectation.

In fact, when the Uipa-1 individual power armor of the Ailan Hill Empire was designed, it was intended to replace the tank and become the king of land warfare.

Compared with tanks, it is more flexible and can conduct short-term flights, and has higher tactical execution capabilities. But compared to tanks, its shortcomings are too obvious.

The first is that the target is too large, and it is easy to be attacked by the enemy's concentrated firepower. Sadly, in addition to increasing the energy defense of the magic defense barrier, it has no way to increase its defense by increasing its armor thickness.

At the same time, because of its defensive weakness, the uipa-1, which can only emphasize mobility, can only choose the main weapon that is not strong in firepower. The obvious difference in caliber makes it not as good as tanks in firepower.

These disadvantages also made Uipa-1 a chicken rib in land weapons, and eventually stopped its development, transferred to second-line troops or dusted into the weapon arsenal.

But I have to say that uipa-1 still has some technologies. The main battlefield of the Alanhill Empire and the Watchers that is worth studying is no longer on the surface. The difference between the cosmic environment and the surface makes the engineers of the Alanhill Empire , Re-aware of the technical advantages of uipa-1.

"Yes! The idea of ​​uipa-1 is completely outdated on the ground... But if you take this idea into the universe, it seems to become interesting." The male engineer pointed to the one on the computer screen. The huge humanoid mecha said.

The female engineer thought for a few seconds and put forward her own point of view: "But the problem is that we have no way to compress the power system and install thrusters on a huge humanoid mech, which is not a good choice."

"But it provides us with a development idea, an idea that can improve maneuverability! Manipulating fighter jets... is much harder than manipulating one's own body." The male engineer admitted that the other party's opinion had some truth, but he still insisted on his own. Point of view.

"Actually I have a lot of data to support my point of view...look!" He said, pointing to the humanoid mecha on the computer monitor, and said: "First of all, because of the soul connection technology, uipa's reaction speed, It's much stronger than the joystick, and it's more in line with operating habits."

"Secondly!" He continued pointing to all the marked joints of the humanoid mecha and said to the female engineer: "Because of the puppet robot technology, we can save a lot of weight and volume in the joint technology..."

Compared with installing attitude engines in all directions, relying on joints and flexible limbs to reduce the number of attitude engines, and taking advantage of joint technology, will enable the new uipa technology to achieve the dual advantages of saving internal space and reducing weight in the universe. .

The advantage of weight reduction in the universe is not obvious, but saving internal space can carry more fuel, which has many advantages for space fighters.

Because redundant attitude engines squeeze the internal space of the fighter, and also restrict the design. If you want to share one energy source, these attitude engines must be connected.

Humanoids don’t have to worry about these problems, as long as they adjust their limbs, they can gain propulsion in all directions...

After he finished speaking, he compared the space fighter jets currently used by the Ailan Hill Empire: "Because there is no gravity and resistance in space, the human figure is not worried about the obstruction of the atmosphere, and the speed is not at a loss..."

"What you said makes sense." Touching her chin, the female engineer also realized the essence of this design: "Flying in space is similar to diving and swimming. As long as the essentials are mastered, the reaction speed of the equipment may increase. Quite a lot..."

"Moreover, once the human form is made, the training cost may be reduced a lot." She patted her colleague on the shoulder and said, "Collate the data, enter it into the computer, and see the result of the data comparison!"

"No problem, tonight... have a meal together?" Finally, the male engineer entered the subject.

"I don't have time, sorry." The female engineer licked her curly hair and answered very simply, with a sincere smile on her face.
