Chapter 19: Air Combat Mech: Tempest
【Skill Book: Air Combat Mecha: Tempest*1】
While learning the skill book, Luke's mind felt a pang like never before. Countless knowledge rushed into his head.
It was like absorbing the entire curriculum from university to professional engineer in an instant. It covers a large amount of knowledge such as electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, ergonomics, etc.
For this reason, Luke digested it for another two weeks.
He was not idle during this time. Starting to build a real mecha requires a lot of preliminary preparation.
First of all, he needed a real studio.
It's hard enough to make Christina in the bedroom, and that's why Christina's main difficulty is the programming part of the AI, and there aren't many parts that need to be tapped.
Assembling a mech in your bedroom?
Stop it.
What if his adoptive parents see it. It is impossible to use extracurricular activities as an excuse.
Which elementary school has taught mecha to build?
This classmate, you are also from the Federation? I'm Kira Yamato! ……
Luke ended up renting an old warehouse not too far from his home.
The landlord lives in Ottawa and does not come back all year round, and this warehouse has not been taken care of for several years, and the rent is very cheap.
The most important thing is that everything can be finalized online. Apple Bill Payment.
With his own secret territory, Luke is still happy in his heart.
He was finally able to do whatever he wanted, making all kinds of strange things without fear of being discovered. If you have the ability, no one will know about secretly building a nuclear bomb here.
The site problem is solved, then the next thing that needs to be solved is the equipment.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
But with rice, without a pot, it still doesn't work.
Even a psychopathic strongman like Tony Stark, who has hands-on ability, can't build anything without tools in Afghanistan?
Later, under extremely rudimentary conditions, only the Mark generation was created, the kind of rags that fell apart.
Luke is not as arrogant as Tony, he is self-aware. He knew that the gap between himself and Tony now, well, was only that far from his fingers.
If you want to build an air combat mecha Tempest, you must be assisted by various professional equipment.
He had a higher starting point than Tony had when he was in Afghanistan, and he had Christina as his assistant.
Tony didn't have Jarvis by his side at the time, just Ethan, who was a doctor. The materials are also locally sourced.
Luke believes he can do better than Tony at the time.
It's another Saturday, and Luke excuses himself to go out to play with Peter Parker, and then he skateboards outside his warehouse, and seeing that no one is paying attention to him, he pulls out the key to open the door and enter, then locks the door.
Whoa—
He released a whole bunch of stuff from the storage space.
Hammers, wrenches, pliers; Various models of screwdrivers are also available; Brand new aerobic welding torch, matching oxygen cylinder; A set of electric forging furnace, eighty percent new; A second-hand computer used to do numerical control.
Finally, there's even a small lathe. Of course, it is also second-hand, Luke has checked, and there is nothing wrong.
"It's a money-burning project. For the time being, these tools can only be made with second-hand ones. Brand new ones are also sold online, but they are too expensive. ”
The more than 50,000 U.S. dollars that Kari washed white, after purchasing these, there was very little left in an instant.
These things are all obtained by him from online shopping.
Luke prefers online shopping because it saves him a lot of trouble.
On the Internet, you can't tell if the person on the other side is an adult or a 7-year-old child.
Or maybe it's a dog?
You can't rule out the possibility!
Because quantum science tells us that all possibilities exist at the same time before observations!
"Master, the liquid nitrogen you purchased has also arrived." Christina flew over and reminded.
"Okay, I got it. Christina, how much has you completed the data transfer with the host? ”
"The data has been transferred."
"Good. When you're all set, let's get started! ”
……
The engineering was easier than Luke had imagined.
After absorbing the skill book, Luke's understanding of engineering can be called masterful. Just like the inch fist and the qi mask, it has completely become an instinct in his body.
Coupled with Christina's artificial intelligence to assist him, the whole manufacturing process is very efficient.
Luke spends four to five hours a day working in the warehouse. Usually when he is not around, Christina is in charge of the tedious and procedural work.
As an AI, Christina can even give advice and suggestions from time to time, which can be sent to Luke's phone via text message.
Luke sends the instructions back to the warehouse at school, and Christina completes the task efficiently. One person, one AI works together seamlessly.
Ten days later.
Luke made the usual excuse that weekend, saying that he was going to play ball at Peter Parker's house, and he was a little excited and skateboarded to the warehouse.
"Christina, how's it going?" As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to ask.
"The surface painting of the fuselage is 95% complete and is about to be completed."
Luke's eyes are hot!
He walked over to the workbench and watched as Christina was at the helm of the two mechanical arms, putting the finishing touches on the body in front of him.
The entire body of the air combat mecha has been completed.
At this time, in front of him was a small robot with a height of 1.2 meters and a width of 1.2 meters, which resembled the Q version of the Gundam!
Luke made the most of the beauty of mechanical engineering he had learned.
The overall lines of the body are smooth, angular and aggressive. The color scheme is modeled after one of Luke's favorite Gundams: Assault on Freedom.
Therefore, the overall appearance of the body is a shiny silver-white main tone, and the two colors of blue and red are perfectly embellished. Sci-fi!
The mecha shell material, he used the best materials he could find, and after stacking multiple layers, he could ignore the close-range shooting of small-caliber firearms.
The power is jet power, which is similar to the Iron Man suit in this regard.
In the DNF, the Air Combat Mech Tornado is an unmanned combat unit unleashed by the Mechanic that uses machine guns and missiles to carry out anti-air and ground attacks.
On the basis of unmanned driving, Luke added an active driving function.
As a result, this mecha was changed by him into a rideable type: the 1.2-meter-tall mechage remains unchanged, the interior is hollowed out, and the circuit is slightly moved outward, and only his 7-year-old body can sit in it. If you are an adult, you can't even put a leg in it.
I have to say that this 7-year-old body has once again become his advantage.
There are many advantages of a small body, including a small target, easier to conceal, not easy to become a live target when flying in the air, difficult to capture by radar, etc., all of which are obvious advantages.
It is worth mentioning that this air combat mech does not use any common energy source, but uses small colorless crystals given by the system to drive it.
Colorless small crystals, Luke pulled out a lot of them from the box. There are about 1,000 pieces of storage space at the moment.
I didn't expect this thing, in addition to being kept for colorless skills to cast later, it was also a fuel block for air combat mechas.
Christina calculated that a small colorless crystal block can drive an air combat mecha to fly for 5 hours. In combat mode, one piece can provide about two hours of energy.
It's quite worry-free. It deserves to be produced by the system!
