From scrap mecha to sci-fi heaven

"Acquisition of requirements completed!"

"You have acquired a new skill: Electronic Countermeasures LV1."

"You have opened a new upgrade requirement! (Expand to view)"

"Upgrade requirements - sharpen your tools first: design and build an electronic jamming system."

"Upgrade demand - prevent it before it happens: design and build an anti-interference system."

"I finally got it. I still need network attack and defense, but I have Xue Siqiao for the time being, so don't worry."

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the prompt message given by the upgrade panel.

It’s not in vain that I worked so hard and worked so hard to conquer the mecha dueling world in Block Street.

In terms of electronic countermeasures skills, active interference is secondary, but detection and defense are the top priority.

Needless to say, defense means resisting interference.

This is also the basis of electronic countermeasures. Only when it is detected can countermeasures be possible.

"Upgrade Requirements - All-round Pilot: Replace at least two mechas with different combat styles in one battle and achieve outstanding performance."

For example, with regard to the flying commander aircraft, based on his own fighting skills and these design improvement experiences, he was able to conceive of a tactical system that adapts to the various parameters of the aircraft, focuses on close combat, and can perfectly cooperate and leverage with Chitu.

"Upgrade requirements - air and space combat: complete a perfect air and space combat."

"[Mecha Driving] Upgrade Requirements - Training: A total of forty-eight hours of driving mecha. (Completed)"

In addition, there have been some other improvements these days.

What pleased Lin Yu the most was the aircraft's tactical design experience and vehicle adaptability.

The aircraft's tactical design experience is to design various experiences and techniques that are most suitable for combat methods based on the aircraft's own combat skills.

But even these are secondary.

"You have opened a new upgrade requirement! (Expand to view)"

His experience in air and space combat will make him more adaptable to flying combat, and will also provide him with more reference for his combat skills and 'supernatural powers' when imitating the personalities of various immortals.

Reconnaissance, to be precise, should be reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.

After all, immortals and gods are always inseparable from flying to the sky and escaping to the earth.

Collect electromagnetic radiation signals from enemy electronic equipment to confirm their location, parameters, type, etc.

"Your relevant knowledge has been further improved; your air and space combat experience has been moderately improved, your airframe tactical design experience has been slightly improved, and you have gained slight vehicle adaptability."

That is the mecha piloting skill that has been acquired for a long time, but has also stayed in LV1 for a long time.

Secondly, in turn, it hides itself, improves the concealment of its own electronic equipment, resists detection and interference, and ensures the normal operation of its own electronic equipment.

Now that you have the skills, you have a great start.

It can be said that in today's era, this skill is basically indispensable in all aspects.

"Mecha Piloting LV1→Mecha Piloting LV2"

The improvement that mecha piloting brought to Lin Yu was far greater than he imagined.

Relevant experience and memory can not only help him maximize the performance of his body.

It is easier to grasp the opponent's rhythm in battle.

After all, if the opponent wants to increase their strength, in addition to enhancing the performance of the body, all they can do is to maximize the performance of the body as much as possible.

He is familiar with the improvement of airframe tactics, which means he has mastered the correct optimal solution.

From this, it is natural to infer the opponent's tactical style and habits to a certain extent.

This is similar to using mecha engineering to predict the movements of enemy aircraft.

Secondly, since it can be based on the body design and improved tactical style.

Then why can't we design an aircraft body that is more suitable for specific battles based on the designed combat plan?

Therefore, this part of the experience of mecha driving can in turn greatly help his mecha engineering skills and actual mecha design process.

Vehicle adaptability, as the name suggests, is the ability to adapt to the vehicle.

This is a talent, or it is similar to the combat and hit intuition given by fighting and shooting. It is a special ability that allows him to quickly adapt to different vehicles.

This will allow him to adapt to and control different aircraft more quickly, and make it easier for him to become familiar with and design the aircraft's tactical style.

It's not even limited to mechas.

Vehicles, vehicles, battleships, red rabbits, are they not considered vehicles?

Even... (Zhao Xing:!!!)

Ahem, let’s get back to the topic.

"It's not difficult to create an interference and anti-interference system... without strength requirements or other restrictions."

After sorting out the newly acquired knowledge and memory, and looking at the next stage of electronic countermeasures upgrade requirements, Lin Yu quickly made an upgrade plan.

This thing is not as abnormal as the upgrade requirements of software engineering, so that other assistance cannot be used.

At that time, he can serve as a spiritual leader and theoretical guide, leaving Miao Xiaomiao to do the software work, and Wang Xiaoliu to study and practice the hardware.

This is the correct way for capitalists to open up.

Lin Yu's abacus clicked.

However, the bad news brought by Xue Siqiao made all his capitalist plans to squeeze employees come to nothing.

"The equipment uses too much electricity, and I just paid a large electricity bill. There is basically no money in the account, and the merit account of the Pilots Association has also been maxed out. There is not enough left to buy computing hardware and enough micro-ion thrusters... "

Xue Siqiao's words made Lin Yu's face fall.

With the addition of Miao Xiaomiao, a coder saint, and with full firepower, the development of the software system of Chunyang Emperor Armor and Tiandun ultra-long-range support platform can be said to be making rapid progress.

Even in order to keep up with Miao Xiaomiao's testing needs for software systems, he, Wang Xiaoliu, and Bai Wei had to work frantically and step up hardware manufacturing.

Because the Chunyang Emperor Armor is a miniature exoskeleton armor, it requires extremely high precision and volume of components. The more miniaturized the components, the higher the price.

Chips, sensors, energy, detection equipment... these all cost money like water.

The same is true for the Tianjian tactical cruise missile.

In order to ensure the ultimate controllability, it does not use chemical thrusters, but luxurious micro-ion propulsion, plus a bunch of precision parts for detection and guidance. It can be said that each one is expensive to build.

Not to mention the Tiandun ultra-remote support platform.

According to Lin Yu's design, this is a medium-to-large missile launch platform plus a computing platform. It must at least be equipped with a micro-supercomputer-level computing center and various high-precision detection and enemy tracking equipment.

In order to provide enough mobility without becoming a living target, he plans to arrange electromagnetic deflection force fields, small nuclear reactors, high-power ion thrusters, etc.

Scattered in bits and pieces, these days, nearly 4,000 achievements in the Tianting Mecha Group's account were wiped out just by exchanging various resources.

Not even enough.

Of course, a large and high-standard military weapon like the Tiandun ultra-long-range platform must be paired with enough Tianjian tactical cruise missiles. It is normal to spend tens of millions or hundreds of millions.

but……

"What's going on with the electricity bill? I still have tens of thousands of federal coins in my card, right? I've maxed out the electricity bill alone?"

Lin Yu held his forehead.

"It costs more than 20,000 yuan just to charge your body. Metal printers and various processing and maintenance equipment are also large energy consumers. Not to mention testing the electromagnetic deflection force field and performing a bunch of calculations..."

Xue Siqiao rolled her eyes and started counting on her fingers.

Small nuclear reactors are different from nuclear batteries. Although they have higher power and energy, restarting and adding reactive substances are extremely troublesome and dangerous. They can usually only be operated by production companies.

But Lin Yu's thing was stolen, so there was no contact between the manufacturer and after-sales service, so it was basically a disposable product.

This thing also needs to be used as the energy core of the ultra-long-distance support platform. Unless necessary, he will naturally give priority to using Ceylon's urban power system.

Before, he either dismantled the nuclear battery on the enemy's body, or charged it for free at Zhao Xing, Black Snake, or the enemy's base. He really didn't expect that paying the electricity bill would be so expensive.

"Stop, stop, stop, forget it, my head is getting big. In short, we have no money at all in our account now?"

Lin Yu rubbed his eyebrows with one hand and raised his other hand to interrupt Xue Siqiao.

"I barely left some money for food."

Xue Siqiao said angrily: "But it's only enough for food. I mean, you really didn't plan to pay Xiaomiao and me a salary, did you? We also promised Xiaomiao an emergency rescue contract."

Three hundred thousand is enough to live a leisurely life outside the city for a long time.

But in the city, especially for a pilot, it is really difficult to even maintain basic expenses.

This is under the premise that performance replaces most of the body-related expenses.

"It turns out you're using a different method to push for wages, right?"

Lin Yu said angrily.

But after thinking about it, I really have a headache.

Money is a bastard, but it’s really fucked when it’s short.

"Pfft, okay, I'm just kidding you."

Seeing Lin Yu's worried look, Xue Siqiao chuckled and couldn't help laughing and said, "I actually have good news for calling you. The people from Turing Entertainment are here."

"coming?"

When Lin Yu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Turing Interactive Entertainment is the operator of Metaverse’s “Mecha Battle”.

It's true that pilot association missions can earn merit, but no one will exchange this thing for money unless they have to.

Therefore, the licensing of virtual machines for mecha battles is considered to be the most stable source of income for the mecha team.

If you can sign a license for the machine, you can first get a licensing fee, and then you can get a full 50% share of the sales of the virtual machine.

The rest are either unstable or have certain thresholds.

Of course, for Lin Yu, body authorization has another benefit.

He could completely change the name of the virtual machine to "Flying General Lu Bu".

In this way, he can reap the fame of his personality. In the future, the more popular he is, the higher the sales volume of the virtual machine will be. This will not only bring financial income, but also complete the task of upgrading the mimetic personality.

"Otherwise? Do you really think I'm urging you to pay your salary?"

Xue Siqiao laughed angrily, but then he became serious and reminded: "Looking at what they mean, they seem to be planning to lower the price of the licensing fee. Please pay attention later."
