Mecha Journey

"Bang bang bang... bang bang..."

His thick fists hit the sandbag hard. The owner of these fists was covered in sweat and looked at the sandbag in front of him intently.

Hitting the sandbag with his fist again, Yang Mu took a deep breath and turned to the side to rest.

On a chair not far from the sandbag, a slender figure was sitting there, but he was wearing work clothes that made him look more energetic and capable.

That person was Gao Yu, who was sitting on a chair in the equipment room and looking at the huge paper drawings in his hands.

This is the final draft of the design that Yang Mu spent another week drawing, but it has not yet been shown to Mr. Yan for review.

Yang Mu, who finally finished this painting yesterday, happened to meet Teacher Gao Yu while eating in the cafeteria. She had recently started teaching the second batch of students to build some parts. They had regular contact with her, and Yang Mu also asked some questions.

Seeing Yang Mu, Gao Yu came over to say hello and ask about some homework. Yang Mu also suddenly thought of the drawing he had just completed, and asked him to take a look.

Hence the current scene.

"Teacher Gao, what do you think?"

Yang Mu raised his head and said to Gao Yu while untying the trap.

Gao Yu was still looking at the unfolded design drawings. After a moment, she put down the drawings and looked up at Yang Mu. At this time, she had a surprised expression on her face.

"Very good, I'm curious, how did you come up with it?"

Gao Yu asked Yang Mu. Yang Mu smiled, but did not answer. He just went to get a glass of water and then looked at Gao Yu.

"Teacher Gao, do you think this thing can be incorporated into the military equipment system?"

Hearing Yang Mu's words, Gao Yu frowned, looked at the drawings, then looked at Yang Mu, and shook his head.

"It's difficult. Although this kind of design has been made and all parties are working hard, the shortcomings are too great."

"Electromagnetic pulse interference?" Yang Mu asked, and the other party nodded.

"Although your EMP counter-pulse interference can effectively resist electromagnetic pulses, there are many ways to restrain such an uncontrolled machine, and its operability is too unstable."

"Although unmanned control can reduce personnel losses, you have to know that the programs that can be written in the terminals of these unmanned attack weapons are only high-level programs, which cannot even reach the level of primary intelligence."

"In a large-scale battle, one powerful attack from the other side may cause all of these unmanned aircraft to malfunction, or even delay the entire battle."

Gao Hong handed the blueprint in his hand back to Yang Mu. During the transfer, it was revealed that the drawing on it was a flat body.

This strange design has eight slender mechanical legs, which look like a strange mechanical spider, and its flat body carries various weapons.

This is another kind of drawing in Yang Mu's mind, a design drawing of an all-terrain unmanned attack robot.

Its name is also very simple, it is called the all-terrain intelligent attack robot.

This weapon is also designed to attack bugs, and the original intention of designing it to be unmanned should be to reduce casualties.

The height of the machine body is only more than two meters, and it is not large. After the eight mechanical legs are unfolded, the entire body area is only three or four square meters. It is powered by energy batteries. The weapons only carry thermal weapons and are mainly used as a firepower output platform.

Although this kind of robot is not as big as a mecha after it is manufactured, the components are also very complex and require more professional knowledge from Yang Mu.

Among them, the problem that has been bothering Yang Mu is actually just like Gao Yu said.

Are driverless things really better than human-driven ones?

This is actually a bit like a meaningless false proposition, because in human's current thinking, things operated by intelligent systems, even though technology has become extremely advanced, are still only used as auxiliary tools.

For example, drones, unmanned tanks, and unmanned warship defense platforms that have been put into use are all unmanned. Although they are powerful, they are basically used in special battles or as auxiliaries in wars. platform.

But this self-propelled robot is different. This weapon is listed as the main combat unit on the drawing, and it is required to be deployed in large quantities on the planetary battlefield.

What Yang Mu remembered at that moment was that this kind of thing was actually completely useless.

Because on the planetary battlefield, it is completely possible to clean up the Zerg through humanoid mechas and tactical range weapons. Such weapons are really redundant.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Mu was deeply involved and became suspicious of such drawings.

But sometimes change comes in a moment. When Yang Mu remembered another characteristic of the Zerg, he had new ideas about this weapon.

Quantity, unparalleled huge quantity.

In the battle of human resistance, most of the troops suffered heavy casualties because they were trying to help resist the Zerg and win the evacuation of refugees.

The human body is very weak in front of the Zerg, which is often three or four meters high. The only weapons that can effectively resist are mechas and air power. However, sometimes the air is blocked by a locust-like Zerg, which really comes in handy. It can only be ground troops.

However, a single human fighting with a mechanical exoskeleton is still unable to resist the tall Zerg. The cost of driving a mecha is too high, and heavy weapons such as vehicle-mounted weapons are also impossible to produce quickly.

Bugs that attack in groups can quickly break through these obstacles. If a considerable number of things can stop the opponent's attack, then the retreat will definitely reduce the casualties.

This was the first reason that Yang Mu thought of, and the other reason was that Yang Mu learned from the drawings that the manufacturing cost of these things is not high, and this kind of thing itself has a certain deformation function and can be performed on the planet. Release in batches, automatically find locations to hide, wake up when needed, and erupt directly from the Zerg.

It was precisely because of this that Yang Mu had a different idea about this weapon.

It can organize intensive defense and attack when blocking the enemy, and it can also be broken into parts. The insect-like drone body and the optical camouflage equipment on it make it easier to penetrate into the Zerg territory and provide Humans offer more help.

Being able to infiltrate the Zerg will inevitably bring them more tactical methods.

The most important design above is the anti-pulse device, which will greatly ensure the survival rate of these machines and enable them to still be used after experiencing pulse attacks.

Ideas appeared one after another, and Yang Mu gradually strengthened his confidence again.

Yang Mu looked at Gao Yu, rolled up the drawing, and then asked.

"Teacher Gao, just tell me, is it easy to mass-produce this thing?"

Gao Hong was obviously stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded.

"If we don't consider super-heavy weapons, the production line of this kind of thing can be produced very quickly, and the cost will be only one-third of that of a mecha, or even less."

After hearing Gao Hong's answer, Yang Mu showed a satisfied smile on his face, looked at the other person for a few times, and then said silently.

"That's enough."
