From scrap mecha to sci-fi heaven

"[Missile Engineering] Upgrade Requirements - Internship: Participate in the R\u0026D and design of any missile and achieve success. (Completed)"

"Upgrade Requirements Completed!"

"Missile Engineering LV1 → Missile Engineering LV2"

"Your relevant knowledge has been further improved; you have mastered the relevant manufacturing processes of armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing shells, and armor-breaking shells."

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

"Upgrade Requirements - Test: Use your own work to complete a combat test."

"Upgrade Requirements - Precision Guidance: Make your own work accurately hit ten enemy units."

All software systems were integrated and imported into the Tianjian tactical cruise missile that had been manufactured long ago, and the prompt information on the upgrade panel popped up.

This time, Lin Yu did not absorb and organize knowledge as usual, but could not wait to take out the Tianjian tactical cruise missile and smart glasses.

The overall appearance of the Tianjian tactical cruise missile is just as its name suggests, resembling an eight-sided Han sword.

However, the 'sword body' is in the style of modern mechanical metal.

The pattern on it is simple and cold, with matte black paint as the main color and bright silver as the blade edge.

The overall length is about 1.2 meters.

Of course, the thickness must be far beyond that of a normal sword. Even if Lin Yu tries his best to compress it, it is still two palms thick.

This is when he spared no expense and used micro ion thrusters as power components instead of chemical fuel thrusters in the propulsion system.

Using micro ion thrusters as consumable missile thrusters is undoubtedly an extremely luxurious behavior in terms of cost.

But there is no other way. If you want to truly achieve the freedom of use like a flying sword, and want to achieve long-term cruising and flexible turning, then only the ion propulsion system can do it.

The tail of the hilt is the main thruster nozzle, which is the main power source. The sword body also has a small number of hidden jet nozzles for adjusting the flight attitude.

In addition, the ion thruster does not need to carry too much additional working medium, and can rely on nuclear batteries to achieve endurance, which can maintain lightness and achieve the effect of long-term cruising.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons. The entire Tianjian tactical cruise missile is actually manufactured based on the deduction and understanding of the flying sword by the personality of the Chunyang Emperor. There are many details involved, and even the patterns on the sword body have the effect of breaking the wind and diverting the flow.

In terms of the guidance system, it is equipped with audio-visual detection, infrared detection, active radar detection, and a composite guidance system that combines corresponding guidance with command guidance.

The warhead, that is, the part that creates damage, can also be replaced in different ways.

"Welcome to the fourth-generation drone matrix system of the Stan Group."

"The adapter device has been detected to join the armed matrix."

"Device name: Tianjian tactical cruise missile-01"

"Satellite information is being retrieved... climate information..."

"Record, Tianjian tactical cruise missile prototype, first flight test..."

Put on the back armor of the Chunyang Emperor's armor, and put on smart glasses to open the drone matrix system.

After some settings and operations, Lin Yu put his fingers together to form a sword, and his mind moved with it: "Get up!"

Swoosh!

Without the need for an additional launch structure, the tail of the Tianjian tactical cruise missile in front of him ejected a light blue flame, flew forward, and then circled 360 degrees from bottom to top, circled in front of Lin Yu and rushed straight into the sky.

At the same time, a screen was immediately separated from Lin Yu's smart glasses, showing all the audio-visual data and radar data detected by the Tianjian tactical cruise missile.

It was the first time to process this information, and he did not switch to the Pure Yang Emperor personality at the first time, so he was still unfamiliar at first.

But after all, he was just operating a Tianjian missile, and he quickly got used to this feeling, driving it straight into the sky, cruising for several minutes, and then recalling it with reluctance.

Because it uses command guidance and ion propulsion, the warhead also uses highly controllable inert explosives. If it is not actively detonated, it can be launched and retracted. There is no problem in using it as a flying sword.

"It's a pity that there are still some limitations. It would be better if it could be replaced with brain-computer interaction."

Although he was a little excited and wanted to continue, Lin Yu still calmly evaluated the prototype Tianjian cruise missile.

At present, the Tianjian cruise missile is definitely qualified as a cruise missile, but if it wants to perfectly achieve the effect of a fairy sword, it will definitely require a lot of testing, fine-tuning and optimization and improvement.

In addition, the current neural interaction system is still a little bit lacking. The real ideal state should actually use brain-computer interaction technology.

Brain-computer interaction, as the name suggests, is the interaction technology between the brain and the machine.

In essence, this is actually a further upgraded version of neural interaction technology.

Neural interaction technology intercepts the neural signals that have been sent by the brain, and can also reversely transmit some simple pain signals.

This mode is very suitable for mechas, because the second-generation mechas generally use bionic bodies, which are similar to the structure of the human body and can be operated as easily as using an arm.

But if it is used on drones, it is not so easy to use on additional objects such as Tianjian cruise missiles.

They are completely different from the body and are external objects. The neural signals transmitted from the brain do not contain the control signals of these "non-human" objects.

The reason why neural interaction can be used to control drones in this case is that they are equipped with corresponding encoding and translation programs.

For example, the fourth-generation drone matrix system of the Stan Group, in addition to assisting in the control of multiple drone formations, its real core function is encoding and translation.

That is, the control signal of the human body to a certain subtle part, such as a finger, was originally to control the finger to slide to the left, but the encoding and translation system will "translate" it and present it on the drone as a command such as turning left.

But this is essentially still an instruction, with a layer of difference in the middle, and obtaining various information about the drone also requires a process of observation and thinking, plus operation, and the implementation is not smooth.

And brain-computer interaction technology goes a step further and directly captures the EEG signals generated by brain neurons.

Whether humans are thinking or doing any activities, they are all neuronal activities, which will inevitably generate EEG signals. Monitoring EEG signals is essentially equivalent to monitoring surface thinking.

Encoding the EEG activity records under different thoughts and different ideas is equivalent to a comparison and translation manual. Referring to this manual, each time a different EEG signal is obtained, the program will know what you want to do.

This is the real control of the mind at will based on thinking, and even being able to output text, output sound, draw images, etc. based on thinking.

Correspondingly, if the signal is transmitted in the reverse direction, it can create pain, touch, vision, and hearing, making the human and the machine completely integrated.

External devices can also be operated like mental control, directly controlling movement in the mind, planning the trajectory of action with thoughts, and inheriting the human body's three-dimensional spatial perception and balance perception, etc., which is really like controlling one's own body.

If Lin Yu is not wrong, the third-generation machine above the second-generation machine is likely to use brain-computer interaction technology, making the human and the machine integrated, and the machine can obtain touch, vision and smell alone, and can also operate external weapons such as floating guns.
