Taohuaao Military Base.

Experimental Ground No. 2.

After a series of extremely strict inspections, Chen Shi and Zhang Qi'an, with their identities as designers, finally passed through the heavily guarded guards and entered the experimental site. With such a high-level inspection, the two of them couldn't help but put another question mark in their hearts, could it be that the mecha was really manufactured? If not, how could even the designer be interrogated at all levels?

In the last step, they also have to obtain the authorization and approval of Elder Yan before they officially enter the venue.

Even behind them, there were two genetic soldiers who followed all the way.

"I didn't want you to come over, but Kobayashi meant to let you come and have a look, maybe it will help you design in the future. The two of you, you should know the confidentiality regulations, this is the highest level of secrecy, and it is strictly forbidden for you to mention it to anyone, including your relatives! Unless the secrecy is lifted from above, it will be a secret that you will have to keep strictly for the rest of your life! In addition, I don't care what your personal philosophy is, in your work, you should never work with personal emotions, I don't need you to understand, this is an order!" Yan Lao slapped the two with a serious expression.

Chen Shi and Zhang Qi'an hurriedly nodded yes.

It seems that the conversation in the office is still known to the above.

That's right, such an important project is sent down, and it would be funny if there was no monitoring on it and it was completely laissez-faire.

Fortunately, it was just a warning, and when Yan Lao criticized, Chen Shi and Zhang Qi'an were particularly afraid of being kicked out of the mechanical mecha design office. Their identities are different, and they can resign if they don't do well in the outside company, but they are all military personnel and must obey orders unconditionally.

Criticized it severely.

Yan Laocai took the two into the No. 2 experimental field.

What appeared in front of the two of them was a behemoth nearly fifteen meters high.

The appearance is very similar to the design drawings that were handed in before, except for some weapon systems. For example, hanging artillery and external armor, which were not installed.

"It's so beautiful!" Zhang Qi'an's body trembled slightly, even if he knew that this mecha was just an empty shell, but when it was designed from the drawings to the real birth, and then towered in front of him, Zhang Qi'an still couldn't help the excitement in his heart.

This is a work that I participated in the design.

It's like your own child.

Chen Shi was also excited. But his heart is clearer.

Just an empty shell has no effect, and in order for the mecha to really work, instead of tanks and armored vehicles into a new generation of combat weapons, the first thing is to make it move. And to meet this requirement, it is necessary to add the best drivers and the most powerful driving force to the mech. The design of the mecha is not destined to be designed like an airplane, which can refer to the successful design at home and abroad, continuously develop in aerodynamics, and then pass wind tunnel tests to constantly revise the data. Complete a new generation of aircraft. Mecha can't be like a tank armored car with tracks or wheels, let alone a helicopter or ocean ship design, it's a new design direction, if you want to carry out its project, it's actually equivalent to the designer abandoning all the previous successful experience, and re-groping for a new way that doesn't know where to go.

The design drawings made by Zhang Qi'an and several young people have no power design and no drivers.

So, this mecha in front of you.

It's just a shell.

A journey of 10,000 miles.

In fact, the first step has not really been taken.

"No, I can't. I'm going back, and I'm going to have to go back as fast as I can. Complete the power design. I'm not the most professional, this design, I have to let Chief Yan send more experts over to test all possible power sources and drivers. There is no time, now that the mecha shell has been manufactured, if it is delayed for too long, it will not be designed. The attention from above will be diverted, no, I can't let the mecha be thrown into the garbage heap of the design institute again, I have to let it really be born!" Chen Shi silently made a decision.

"Being able to carry out this project is already the best outcome. Zhang Qi'an seemed to hear Chen Shi's heart. He patted Chen Shi on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I won't fight with them again!" Chen Shi didn't know how difficult it was for the mecha project to be successfully established.

"You're designers, go up and have a look!" Elder Yan let the two move freely.

Chen Shi and Zhang Qi'an were waiting for this sentence.

Listen to it.

Hurry up and go up, touch here, knock there, no matter how you look at it, it's not enough.

To the surprise of the two, such a huge mechanical part could be manufactured in a day, which in their estimation would take at least three months or more. If nothing else, a set of production molds with equal proportions is enough for a headache.

What is drawn on the drawing does not mean that reality can be done.

Even if it can be made.

It doesn't mean that it can be done in a day.

"It's true, the robotic arm is real, and the construction of the individual parts is real. The more Chen Shi looked at it, the more shocked he became.

"It's incredible, I can't believe it's a project that can be completed in one day!" Zhang Qi'an sighed, if he hadn't personally participated in the design, then he would definitely think that this was a project that started months or even years ago. Their design drawings, although there are references to Lin Dong's original drawings, but there are actually a lot of imperfections in the details, if it is really launched, it is estimated that the leader in charge of the finished product manufacturing will scold his mother, and will immediately find a designer to spray a face. But what makes Zhang Qi'an feel extremely amazing is that the design that can only be presented on the drawings is really born in front of him, and in some places, it is more perfect than his own design.

The more they looked at it, the more incredible they felt.

At last.

I can't hold it back.

Walking up to Lin Dong together, they couldn't wait to ask the doubts in their hearts: "Chief Kobayashi, I want to know, why do you use wood to make them? Isn't it easier to use metal? How can a mecha made of wood move? Besides, the test data is not accurate? Also, why don't you have any of those weapon designs? The most important point, what kind of drive source force do you want to use? Is it electric or magnetic? Is the reserved space in the middle the one where the driver is installed?"

Chen Shi and Zhang Qi'an have too much incomprehension in their hearts.

Even if there was a sophisticated wooden mecha in front of them now, they still had countless reasons that they couldn't solve.

"Why do you use wood for mechs? My only raw material is wood. I made it myself, and it's just a test for the time being, so it doesn't matter what materials I use. If you want to do it, you decide what materials to use, I don't have that much metal. Besides, it doesn't get in the way of making it out of wood. Lin Dong explained casually.

"......" Chen Shi almost fell to the ground, and there was no metal as a raw material? What is the reason? Besides, it is the first time in my life that I have heard of making mecha from wood!

"The weapon system is not very well designed, and we will definitely try to fix it when we go back. Zhang Qi'an cautiously tested Lin Dong's attitude.

"In terms of weapons, I don't care how you design them, my mechs don't need those weapons. Lin Dong told the truth.

"......" Chen Shi was speechless again. Without using weapons, can mechs use their fists to beat enemy tanks?

"Is there another team designing the driver and engine?" Zhang Qi'an estimated that for such a large project, it is impossible for only one team to follow up, which must be the joint efforts of countless working groups.

"In terms of engines, keep it secret for the time being, you have good designs and can experiment on your own, but my design, before the technology is fully mature. It cannot be disclosed to the public. I also talked about this before I cooperated with the military to set up the project. It's just an experiment for the time being, and there is still a long way to go before the real finished product. Lin Dong avoided talking about drivers and driving forces. These are not something that the designers of empirical technology can understand, even if Lin Dong puts out the stalls of the energy gathering circle and the puppet magic circle and explains them one by one, Chen Shi and Zhang Qi'an can't understand it.

"The engine has been developed?" Chen Shi jumped.

"You mean. This, this, this mecha can move?" Zhang Qi'an was also so excited that he almost burst his blood vessels.

When they asked, they wanted to test the process. See if anyone is following up, who knows that Lin Dong said that the engine has been designed, even if the technology is not fully mature, but it is already the first step of the long march to make the mecha move.

Elder Yan talked to the old fox for a while.

came over and waved Chen Shi and Zhang Qi'an to drive them away: "Xiao Lin is going to install the drive of the mecha next, and you two will avoid it." ”

Experimental grounds.

Special vehicles carry several wooden boxes of various sizes.

Chen Shi and Zhang Qi'an were sent back to the rest room by the genetic soldiers. It's two hours.

Not only them, but also all the staff, including Yan Lao, did not stay in the center of the venue to watch the whole installation process.

Wait for Lin Dong to call and signal them to come down.

Everyone found that the wooden mecha that was originally placed in the central area of the experimental site had changed direction, and the original drooping arm had also been raised. Just look at it. It seems that there is no change, but Chen Shi and Zhang Qixin have a strange feeling. It seems that this mecha is alive, and I can't tell what the reason is, but I have this ridiculous feeling anyway.

Lived?

It's obviously a mecha made of wood, how can it give people such a feeling?

Chen Shi went up and knocked on the shell of the mecha, that's right, it wasn't changed, it was still the mecha made of wood, how could the cold and hard wood look like this?

Zhang Qi'an also came up and glanced at Chen Shi at each other.

Nodding to each other.

After years of cooperation, they have a tacit understanding.

Although they didn't say it, they could both see the affirmation they wanted in each other's eyes.

"It seems different from just now, but it's not any different. Zhao Xin couldn't help but come up and knock on it, which further confirmed that the induction of the two was not an illusion.

"Qianjun, you come and test it. "At this moment, there are Qianjun and Ye Qianru standing beside Lin Dong, they were the assistants who installed it just now, and Lin Dong will not go into battle in person in the next test, or them.

"Yes. Qianjun snapped a straight salute.

Ye Qianru cooperated and pushed a moving ladder, and Qianjun boarded it, and I don't know where I pressed it, and the chest and abdomen of the mecha actually opened a hatch.

When Qianjun entered it and closed the hatch, within ten seconds, the entire mecha made a slight and rapid starting sound.

The sound is like a motor with low power.

Several genetic soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to push away the mobile ladder, and there seemed to be a soft light from the inside of the mecha, and everyone guessed that it was a circuit connection, and then everyone saw the eyes of the mecha as a camera light up...... After about a few minutes, Qianjun, who didn't know whether to sit or stand in the mecha, suddenly called: "The puppet mecha No. 1 has been debugged, and the functions are normal, please instruct." ”

"Roger, please follow the instructions and raise your left arm and stretch it forward at shoulder level. Lin Dong took a communicator and gave her a command.

"Yes!" Before Qianjun's words were finished, the mecha's arm moved upwards 'grid, grid, grid'.

"It's really alive......" Chen Shi's eyes almost didn't fall to the ground.

How is this possible?

Can a mecha made of wood move?

If this is not to witness it with your own eyes, then you can't believe that it is true to kill Chen Shi!

"Number 1, raise your right arm, level with your left arm. Lin Dong continued to give instructions, and behind him, not only Chen Shi's expression was incredible, but everyone looked the same. When Lin Dong ordered Qianjun to manipulate the puppet mecha No. 1 to take a step, wave his arms to speed up the trot, circle around, run and jump, and simulate attacking the enemy in front of him, the expressions on everyone's faces were no longer angry, but completely speechless.

This kind of test is much more than everyone thinks.

The brain is dead.

For this kind of unscientific wooden mecha, Chen Shi didn't know what to say, he dared to say that the most mysterious thing he had ever seen in his life was the mecha in front of him that was as agile as a human being.

He could be 10,000 percent sure that the mecha designed by Zhang Qi'an and a few young people in the office could not move.

That even if you move a finger.

Now able to move like a human being, 100 million percent is the secret transformation of this Kobayashi chief. Although I don't know what method he uses, it must be beyond the current level of science and technology, beyond the current level of science and technology for a hundred years? No, only more! Now Chen Shi understands, why Chief Kobayashi only needs to design the mecha shell by himself, the reason is that this Chief Kobayashi really only needs a mecha shell, and the most important things such as the drive and power source inside are all available to this Chief Kobayashi, so why use his own design!

"Bang!" the mech fell to the ground with a heavy blow.

Qianjun, who manipulated it, made a somersault according to Lin Dong's orders, but failed.

Lin Dong sighed: "No, you can't do this kind of action, it's still far from the real actual combat!"

Chen Shi almost didn't have a cow to hear it, God, now the whole world is studying how to make the mecha move like a human, are you still not satisfied with the overcompletion now? Is it true that this wooden mecha can go to the battlefield like a human to fight?

Besides, I haven't heard of mechs that can do somersaults......

"Woo woo!" Zhang Qi'an wiped his tears, the old man of one meter nine, crying like a little girl, looking forward to it for many years, and finally saw a little hope at the dawn, the road of mecha turned out to be not wrong, it can really succeed, and it can really become a superweapon to replace the tank as the new hegemon of the land in the future. Years of blank eyes and neglect, years of frustration and confusion, suddenly came to his heart, knocking down him, a seven-foot man who had been struggling to adhere to the research and development route of mecha. Zhang Qi'an squatted down, wiping his tears, crying and laughing on his face: "It's not a dream, it's not a dream, it's not a dream!" (To be continued.) )
