Chapter 1121 Mecha Factory
If you want to promote the attack mecha to the world, "localized" production is one of the necessary conditions, so Zhong Yang began to prepare for this factory in 1966, the year before the mass production of the rk67 barbarians.
Artificial composite tendons, a special material that changes physical properties after conduction, are the real core of the mecha and are also a high-end technological product of "bionics".
Because it is impossible to repair itself like a creature, every time the attack mecha is activated, it will be at the cost of the loss of artificial tendons, which can create a good profit margin for this material.
Consumption means a continuous stream of demand, and for manufacturers, demand represents profit.
As a monopoly and pioneer of this technology, Zhong Yang is very confident that he can expand the organization's financial resources through this product, especially now that his relationship with the International Economic Union and the three major groups is in a stalemate.
It was easy to pass the identity authentication and wear chemical protection suits, and Zhong Yang was able to enter this heavily guarded underground factory.
In the white and bright production workshop, he saw bunches of conductive artificial muscle fibers tied.
These are the muscles that attack the mech. Since the second generation product, DT1 Dragon Teeth Assault Force, the Science and Technology Association has tried to bundle the originally scattered conductive artificial muscle fibers, mainly for easy replacement, so it has put a lot of effort into this.
It includes a bundle-like integration method that is closer to the human-fitting structure, and in order to facilitate maintenance and replacement of damaged parts, each muscle bundle is equipped with flexible disassembly joint parts. The standardized model is adopted throughout the production process.
The muscle bundles in different parts will be designed into different components according to different specifications and needs. When it comes to actual combat, they can be replaced immediately, saving a lot of maintenance time.
Compared to the semi-fixed installation in the past, it is much more convenient when disassembling and inspecting.
Moreover, the new conductive artificial muscle fibers have been produced in this factory, and the first generation products such as hydraulic cylinders and air pressure that are intended to be sold to governments will become worthless.
Compared with the first generation of similar products that still have a rigid effect, the second generation of conductive artificial muscle fibers have three conditions: subtle movement, instant explosive power and high output. For strong attack mechas, it is an indispensable part.
Even if the output effect per unit cross-sectional area is compared, this muscle bundle is overwhelming any creature with dozens of times the power of human muscle. There is no need to add the number of artificial muscle fibers repeatedly for a greater output effect like the first generation of barbarians, which makes the body bloated and affects the flexibility of movement.
This is made of a special composite material that shrinks with voltage, which is a memory material. Because its material is very light, thanks to its help, although the attack mecha is a land weapon, its mass is as light as the aircraft.
Of course, the new alloy used to make dt1 is also an ultra-light material, which makes this huge weapon not bulky at all. Even if the dragon teeth are fully armed, its weight is only 5.8 tons, which is less than half of the barbarians.
In addition to the gradual increase in output, the dt1 Dragon Tooth Assault Force also gradually possesses good bulletproof performance. The active electromagnetic reaction armor is thinner and more reliable than the passive electromagnetic reaction armor of the Barbarians.
The muscle bundle shrinks by applying voltage, but if it is not good to add too high voltage, it is important to supply the right power at the right time.
Because the muscle bundle itself also has a telescopic limit, this actuator device similar to the muscles of mammals has "maximum adaptive power". If it exceeds it, even if the current passes, the output will not increase, and it will only damage the tissue.
On the other hand, after frequent use of the muscle bundle of the mech, the performance will continue to decline and the efficiency will gradually deteriorate, similar to the phenomenon of muscle fiber fibrillation.
The tiny fiber breakage is similar to the muscle pain in humans.
Of course, human muscle fibers have not been broken, they are just lactic acid accumulation and stimulate nerve endings. If they are really broken, it will be troublesome. Thinking of the disability.
However, this artificial tendon has no natural recovery ability of organisms, so the fracture phenomenon cannot be stopped and repaired, and can only worsen and worsen.
As the first generation product, its overall usage limit has relatively fixed standards. The attack mechas used by ordinary practical troops are about seventeen battles or actual combat training, and then the muscle bundles must be replaced.
After more than seventeen times of use, the maximum adaptive power condition of the product decreased due to subtle fracture, which affected the maximum output of the muscle bundle, causing the effect to drop directly to 70% of the new product.
This creates a large market for the profits of this material company. In theory, the more people buy raid mechas, they have to purchase muscle bundles from themselves.
Even if it is just training, this muscle bundle is constantly losing, not to mention that such weapons will be very suitable for small-scale attack wars, so it is not surprising that frequent small-scale battles occur.
Fighting means high-intensity usage, and also means that muscle bundles must be replaced frequently, which is equivalent to forcing customers to buy their own products.
Of course, Zhong Yang plans to hand over such muscle bundles to agents outside the tissue, and also take out the inferior products that appear during the research process. While making up for the cost, he also monopolizes the high, middle and low markets.
Because no matter who becomes the manufacturer of this new type of material, he must sign a contract and pay an equal proportion of profit to himself. However, even if there is no contract, Zhong Yang is confident that no one dares to rely on his account.
The reason why Zhong Yang handed over the basic technology of attacking mechas to different countries and companies is to obtain more extensive research data and expand the breadth and depth of ancient Chinese books in this scientific and technological research project.
If it is only handed over to one department for research and development, both imagination and research direction have limitations and seem too single. This limits mecha technology to a very small range and is difficult to improve.
Competition will be the best catalyst for technological progress. Zhong Yang hopes that governments around the world will actively participate in this scientific and technological competition. At the same time, through the hidden secrets, they can acquire the technology developed by others, and combine their own advantages to establish a larger gap.
If you are afraid of comparison, you will one day fall behind the times. This is just a difference between sooner or later.
However, Zhong Yang also knows that some technologies can be handed over, while others cannot.
rk67 Barbarians and DT1 Dragon Teeth Assault Soldiers, these two generations of attack mechas are not equipped with electromagnetic optical camouflage systems. The main reason is that the earth's battery generator occupies too much volume and cannot install the hardware equipment of the "stealth" system.
But good news came from the research department. The new energy research project code-named "Palladium Element" is coming to an end. This solves the embarrassing situation where the earth's battery technology has enough battery life but insufficient explosive power.
It is estimated that when the third-generation attack mecha is launched, a nuclear fusion generator can be used to free up enough space to install an electromagnetic optical camo system that can make the body "invisible".
The third generation and later strong attack mechas will be able to be equipped with a more practical "electromagnetic optical camouflage system". This technology can form optical camouflage, making it impossible for the naked eye to see the combat unit entity equipped with the system.
At the same time, it also has anti-radar and infrared rays and other functions similar to aircraft stealth systems, making the fuselage equipped with this system truly "stealth".
Once this technology can be realized in the attack mecha, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the concealment ability of the attack mecha.
Not only that, Zhong Yang has allowed the Software Engineering Department to continue to develop better operating systems, allowing drivers to operate such complex mechanical devices more easily and even make more accurate actions.
The current strong attack mecha has an operating system loaded internally, a synchronous action recognition system called master-slave follow-up, which can read the operator's tiny movements and expand it to react on the body to make the body move.
The reason why small-scale movements are expanded is mainly because of the small space in the driving compartment, so that the driver cannot do the same movements as the body.
Specifically, if the operator's elbow rotates 10 degrees, the body will immediately react to the elbow rotated 30 degrees. During this process, various unnecessary small movements of the operator and the uncoordination of the movement process will be "translated" by the computer and the most effective movements to react smoothly to the body.
The processing performance of this process is an important factor causing the difference in the body's performance. From the real situation, whose computer hardware equipment is better and whose sensors have more sensitive and reliable responses will have more advantages.
Because whether it is attack or defense, the biggest advantage of a strong attack mecha is that it is as flexible as a human, with no defense than tanks, and no attack power than missiles or artillery.
If you stand like a wooden man, such an expensive weapon will not be necessary to appear.
The ancient Chinese scriptures that monopolize the computer market and have developed photon computers are equivalent to standing at the top. No matter how much other countries and organizations catch up, they are just providing Zhong Yang with more reference materials.
In addition to the muscle bundle production workshop, this place is also part of a comprehensive strong mecha production center. Zhong Yang plans to slowly move out the industrial chain in the Eternal Capital and cultivate corresponding technical workers in the real world.
After visiting the production workshop of the muscle bundle, Zhong Yang passed the underground tunnel and came to the interior of a mountain 500 meters away, which is not yet open to the public.
This closed mecha factory is built in a nearby Red Stone Mountain. The whole mountain looks very ordinary from the outside. Ordinary people who don’t know how to imagine that such a huge automated machining factory would be hidden here.
A large number of "general workers" are working tirelessly here, and there is not a single human in the workshop. After all, it is just a simple assembly and maintenance. Even low-level mechanical components such as "general workers" can be fully qualified.
After entering the factory through the dug underground tunnel, I realized that the entire mountain had been hollowed out by Zhong Yang. I could only vaguely see the outline of the mountain from the outside, but inside was a completely modern world. Even if I did it myself, Zhong Yang still felt that the scene in front of me was amazing.
This will be the production base of the DT series. In the next five years, relevant scientific research talents will be recruited to enter here to develop more advanced attack mechas, and it will also accumulate capital for Longyuan Company's expansion.
Time passed quickly, and a year and a half passed.
The raid mecha factory in Dongguan has been officially completed, and the installation and commissioning of the production line have been completed. Half a year ago, after a long dispute and compromise, Li Xiaomin finally spent 5 million Huayuan to get the "Longyuan" sign from Huayang Heavy Industry through the pressure and interference of the Ministry of National Defense.
At that time, the factory construction had finished and the machines began to be moved into brand new factory buildings.
Now, it is ready to start production.
Look, Ye Yiwei, the Minister of Defense, personally brought a group of young student soldiers to this modern armed forces production base, and let the students see the machines they were about to drive with their own eyes.
A year ago, Ye Yiwei selected the best twenty people from a group of college students who joined the army. They will be participants and founders of the world's first nationalized mecha force.
Because manipulating a strong attack mecha requires flexible thinking and good knowledge learning ability, and also mastering basic system operation capabilities and selecting qualified drivers from young college students. This is the most appropriate method.
Zhang Qiuyuan is one of them. He was born in an ordinary intellectual family, and his parents were both high school teachers. But since he was a child, he has been obsessed with military-related things. Despite his family's opposition, he chose Nansha Military Academy when filling out his application.
His excellent academic performance and personal character allowed him to enter Ye Yiwei's eyes and become one of the lucky ones.
The formation of the mecha unit is kept confidential even for the students, and ordinary training makes everyone feel strange. Not only is it different from ordinary troops, but a large number of confidentiality agreements are even signed.
Originally, Zhang Qiuyuan thought it was a lunar landing force, but he was excited for a long time.
Who knew that just this morning, the instructor led an old man in his sixties to the special training class. He said he wanted to visit a mecha production factory, and also said a lot of things to pay attention to.
Zhang Qiuyuan has long been familiar with those disciplined things. Now he only remembers two things, one is the word "mecha" that has never been heard of. The other is Ye Yiwei.
The face of the Secretary of Defense of Hualian often appears on the covers of major TV stations and media magazines. Zhang Qiuyuan is not unfamiliar with it at all. He exclaimed in his heart: "What kind of force is it that can actually allow the Minister of Defense to come and watch it in person!"
As the convoy arrived at the private arsenal in Dongguan, Zhang Qiuyuan was able to follow Ye Yiwei and enter the factory area. He also paid special attention to the expressions of the people around him.
As he expected, not only humans like him were surprised by the mystery of this mountain, but even the top students with backgrounds who were always arrogant were extremely shocked by this.
The researcher who led them into the factory obviously turned around and glanced at everyone. Seeing one or two of them stunned, they couldn't help but look proud.
It seems that in his mind, this factory is very proud of.
Zhang Qiuyuan and his team visited various departments within the factory in order based on the class. For Zhang Qiuyuan at this time, the complicated classification and system in the mecha factory were things he was completely unfamiliar with.
Although there have been researchers giving explanations next to each workshop, there are also introductions about mechas on the glass walls of each workshop. However, because there are too many types, Han Zheng couldn't remember much at the moment.
However, I heard many students in the special training class beside me whispering excitedly, combining the knowledge I heard on the spot and my own guesses and discussing with each other.
Zhang Qiuyuan was mixed in the team, and was surrounded by strong attacking mechas with tall and large horses. Occasionally, he could hear huge mechanical collisions. It was a mecha that was undergoing performance testing.
Zhang Qiuyuan looked at the tall figure enviously and thought to himself: Who is driving such a passionate weapon, which is really itchy to see!
The researcher in charge of leading the team is a good middle-aged man. He just pretends that the students don’t hear the occasional noise. As long as they don’t do too much, he always adheres to the principle that it’s better to do less than more than more.
Zhang Qiuyuan and his team visited the factory all morning and saw the smallest wearing mecha on a single body. It was almost a little bigger than humans and mainly played a role in protecting soldiers in battle.
This small mecha, which usually takes advantage of their extremely small but not easily detected by radar, can lurk behind enemy lines to detect messages, which is a bit like a spy job.
Because of its small body, it is not easy to be discovered by the enemy. Its good bulletproof performance can also have a good advantage when facing infantry units with only light weapons in the enemy.
There are small mechas and large mechas. When Zhang Qiuyuan and his team entered a workshop, they met the large mecha rk67 mentioned by the instructor, code-named Barbarian.
When Zhang Qiuyuan truly watched the real thing up close, he felt like there were thousands of horses galloping in his heart. His actual feeling was completely different from what he saw from a distance just now.
That thing is almost indescribable, because the height of eight meters is too huge compared to humans, so that Zhang Qiuyuan and all the students were so surprised that they could not speak.
The tank is only two meters high, and the mecha is a standing tank, which is completely incomparable.
Everyone opened their mouths wide. At that time, Zhang Qiuyuan stood in front of a glass curtain, trying hard to see the situation inside through the LCD monitor.
There seems to be data processing in it, and various Chinese materials flowing through my eyes, all about the performance and structure data of rk67. (To be continued...)
