Chapter 202 Crosshair System

All FPS games today are born out of a "crosshair system" that was created in the late 60s and 70s. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for this system biquge.infobiquge.info which was originally used on U.S. tanks......

- 20XX "Blizzard Game Weekly" - The History of FPS Games

The U.S. Department of the Army, generals are discussing the application of the Pip-Boy.

PIP-BOY1008 is indeed a very new thing, and it works very well.

In the original M48A3, which did not use the Pip-Boy 1008 system, the original fire control system was used.

The original version was equipped with a mechanical ballistic computer, a mechanical computer that performed some simple calculations by meshing precision gears, and used the main rangefinder to take aim. The number jù is displayed on the indicator and at the same time entered into the ballistic computer for calculation - the gunner selects the type of shell to be fired by hand, and each ammunition has a different muzzle velocity, so the mechanical computer assigns a different cam to each type The cam computer gets the target distance number jù and combines it with the position number of the turret to calculate the firing angle of the gun - of course, this is the whole process manually.

And the M48A3, equipped with Catherine's Pip-Boy's new fire control, uses a laser rangefinder and a fully digital computer. In this way, in fact, the work of the crew has been greatly reduced.

The gunner only needs to press a button on the handle and give a command, and the tank will automatically reload the ammunition.

After the ammunition is loaded, the system will move on to the next step, the gunner will use the guò laser rangefinder to observe the precise distance, and then use the guò keypad input, and the muzzle will be automatically adjusted, while the gunner only needs to use the guò handle's cross button to fine-tune, and that's it.

On top of that, with the adoption of the Pip-Boy 1008's digital interface, soldiers are able to get started faster and the time required for training is greatly reduced.

The original M48A3, due to being fully manual. Therefore, mechanical computer calculations are very troublesome, and if you are not careful, you are likely to lose the best opportunity to attack.

A tank artillery soldier must spend a lot of brain power on top of calculations, and this calculation is likely to take more than ten seconds - and by that time, the other side has already escaped.

Catherine's fully automatic digital computer, on the other hand, is capable of completing a series of complex calculations in a matter of seconds or less.

The gunner just judges whether to shoot, when to shoot, and there may be wrong parameter corrections, and that's it, and the rest just needs to be done automatically by the computer.

"With the new fire control system, the hit rate of the M48A3 has been greatly improved, and the increased cost is relatively small. It's just that the M48A3 was never designed with such a digital device in mind. ”

After modification, the performance of M48A3 has increased significantly, which is undoubtedly good news for the military.

"Maybe we should equip it on the M60?" Someone asked.

"Maybe it can be used in other ways, and the Pip-Boy will be able to turn all the dashboards into digital displays, so that we can save more space for our armament......"

"Maybe ARK will have to talk about this, maybe they will have some updated ideas......"

……

On the other hand, Catherine was still designing "The Age of Discovery" at this time.

In Catherine's thinking, some of the original systems that are worthy of criticism also need to be improved.

For example, Catherine is a reference to Age of Discovery 4, which allows her to enter the interior of the cabin and modify it. It is also possible to convert some food and alcohol goods into food when there is no water or food.

In addition to this, Catherine has also developed and created an original canal system that allows players to develop the legendary Suez Canal and Panama Canal by themselves.

Originally, Catherine also wanted to set up some special content, for example, lemon can prevent sepsis, etc., but in Catherine's opinion, this seems to be a bit too complicated, and in the end it can only be abandoned.

Although it was temporarily abandoned, Catherine did not give up, but was ready to wait until the second part in the future to be developed.

In fact, in "history", Europeans and Americans like freer games, mainly from TRPG, which emphasizes role-playing and world experience; The game, like the other two juxtaposed by ACG, is telling a story to consumers through the medium of guò games.

One is to experience another world, and the other is to observe a story.

In the case of Catherine, she prefers the former.

Just when Catherine was busy with the game, the call from the Office of Quality Supervision and Management called again.

-- The Pentagon hopes to meet Catherine on April 1 and have some discussion on the issue of the beep-boy, preferably with some technicians.

Catherine was not aware of the exercises conducted by the US military, but it was clear that this was an opportunity

Can't let it go

With a month to go, Catherine immediately integrated the people of all the departments and began to gather superior forces to overcome the problem of the Pip-Boy.

Fortunately, before this, the company had made a breakthrough in the research of the Pip-Boy, and the use of 16-bit CPUs had been considered for a long time.

The new device was named "Pip-boy1016" by Catherine.

For a whole month, Catherine was testing the system.

Soon, when it was finally time to meet, Catherine flew back from the West Coast to the East Coast, and then to the Pentagon again.

As soon as she came here, Catherine was greeted by a video.

On video, it is 5 M48A3s against 3 M60A1s.

Catherine's heart rose at once.

-- Obviously, these 5 M48A3s are modified models with the Pip-Boy 1008 installed.

Soon, the scene changed from 5v3 to 1v1.

The two sides were galloping and shooting at each other.

However, two consecutive shots were fired, but none of the tanks hit.

"Three guns...... Three artillery ......"

Catherine muttered.

"Boom"

With the firing of the third cannon, the M48A3, which finally hit the M60A1, was judged to have destroyed the opponent, which made Catherine breathe a sigh of relief.

"Miss Edson, I think I've already known what your device is capable of, and I have to say that the Pip-boy is really an amazing thing."

"Yes, and this time, I brought a better system."

Catherine took the opportunity to sell her semi-finished products.

April 1...... Anyway, today is April Fool's Day.

"Oh?"

Originally, the generals just wanted to have a discussion about the improvement of the Pip-Boy, but they didn't come up with it, and Catherine had already "choked" a new version of the Pip-Boy.

Catherine price display was taken out.

"We have taken advantage of the Pip-Boy 1008, and in the new system, we can use the guò number jù bus, so that the tank crew can get the number of all the subsystems of the tank. For example, the commander can easily know how much fuel is left in the tank just as easily as the driver, and he can immediately know how many rounds are left in the autoloader, where the tank is at the moment, and so on. The work and testing of the various components in the vehicle system are also controlled and managed by the multi-microprocessor system. ”

Hearing Catherine's words, the generals kept nodding their heads.

Catherine continued: "Another advantage of this system architecture is that it improves the reliability of the system, and when a microprocessor fails, the system can be restructured, and a working microprocessor can replace the faulty microprocessor. ”

The eight-core processor is indeed very powerful, but once there is a problem with one of the cores, it is a big problem.

So, Pip-Boy's group has been working on this method of working with the remaining core.

According to the plan, the final product, even if part of the integrated circuit board is destroyed, the computer can be modified internally, so as not to affect the normal operation.

Of course, in the end this was just an assumption, and Catherine could only do it for the time being, and the tank would still work in case of problems with some of the cores.

For military enterprises, performance is not the most important thing, stability is.

Of course, it is also necessary to improve the performance as much as possible when the stability is sufficient.

"In our company's vision, the future war should be fully automatic and digital, and we envision that in the future war, only 1 or 2 people are needed to operate the tank."

Then, it's Catherine's killer feature.

"So, we've adopted a 'crosshair system,' look."

Catherine asks the technicians to turn on the new Pip-Boy.

"This screen is connected to a camera, pay attention to this crosshair, which should actually be the indication location of the tank's impact point."

Catherine showed the generals the green crosshair on the small screen.

"This is the automatic aiming system we designed, where the crosshair in the pattern appears, it will become the point of impact, and the tank will automatically adjust the muzzle to aim at the target."

This was inspired by games like CS and WOT in the future, so Catherine called it a "crosshair system".

In fact, this is the reverse calculation.

Normally, two firing angles are calculated from the target position, and the reverse is calculated from the current gun angle, and the principle is very simple.

But with auto-locking, this feature seemed a bit redundant, so Catherine thought of another use.

- For machine guns.

After all, if it is necessary for the gunner to operate it manually, it means that the automatic ballistic calculations are already inaccurate.

However, considering that automatic locking is still in its infancy, Catherine estimates that there may still be some market for her system.

Catherine, of course, split this system in two, using one part on the main gun and one on the machine gun.

As for the remote-controlled machine gun, it was used as early as the Nazis, but it was the machine gunner who used a thing similar to a periscope to observe the outside world in the machine, and the equipment was huge, taking up a lot of space, and Catherine used the camera and the way the display screen was used, which was able to save a lot of space.

Such an electronic remote-controlled machine gun system is definitely Catherine's first.

Both of these crosshair systems, Catherine uses a handle to operate, so it is quite convenient......
