Chapter 42: A New Task for the Assistants (Updates for the DFXX of the Eastern Suspense)
After the old principal left, Chen Shen turned his head again.
"Yang Xing, you all come over here."
The assistants are now checking the boxer number with the technical team to collect various data after this test.
Hearing Chen Shen's call, everyone quickly gathered.
"It's been almost three months since you came to the project team, and now that the boxer number has been completed, there is no need to improve it for the time being, so ......"
Everyone looked at Chen Shen eagerly, and they had already guessed what Chen Shen meant:
"We're going to start preparing the next mech!"
Chen Shen finished speaking loudly.
The crowd applauded vigorously, and the professors were also quite expectant on the side.
Chen Shen motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said, "However, I have other work on my hands, so you will be the main force in the research and development of the new mecha. ”
Everyone fell silent all of a sudden, and their originally elated faces became suspicious.
"We?"
Yang Xing almost thought he had misheard.
The same goes for everyone else.
"Can we do it?"
Everyone thought about it, they didn't even have the technology of the boxer now, how to develop a new mecha?
Even the professors on the side frowned, not understanding why Chen Shen made such a play.
These students will definitely not be able to develop new mechs now.
There is no doubt about that.
Of course Chen Shen knew that they couldn't do it, but he knew that those people who were watching the excitement next to him walked by.
He added: "According to my opinion, the new mecha will be designed and modified on the basis of the Boxer, and it may still be a bit far-fetched with your current abilities, so I still have to trouble the professors to help give them a little guidance." ”
Chen Shen looked at the twenty-five professors next to him.
Where do the professors still not understand?
This kid is not a drunkard at all, and he is fooling people by saying that letting students design new mechas, and his real purpose is to be them, the professors.
The professors looked at each other, everyone smiled and nodded, and finally the youngest Xu Ming stood up and replied with a smile: "Of course there is no problem with this, we also want to challenge it and see what it's like to design a mecha." ”
Chen Shen smiled: "This matter should not be too difficult for the professors. ”
The assistants watching around were also relieved.
It seems that it is just the aftermath of the big guy's fight that has affected them.
It's not that they don't have self-confidence, but they have self-knowledge, if they really let them do mecha now, it is estimated that it will take them a few years to figure out the technique of the boxer, and then imitate and transform it on it, which will take a few more years.
Maybe by the time the verifier comes out, ten years have passed.
Although it is a common thing in scientific research circles to produce results in ten years, it is much worse than the god who can get a mecha in two months.
The crowd gathered in the conference room.
"Okami, for the design of the new mecha, is it up to us to play freely on the drawings of the boxer?" Someone asked.
Chen Shen shook his head and said, "I have some ideas for the new mecha. ”
"Now the boxer technology has matured, but this does not mean that the development of mecha will be very good in the future."
"There are a lot of people out there who are not optimistic about mechas, and there are many opinions, but they are at least right about one thing, that is, the current boxer number is actually of no real use."
"It can't go to the battlefield, it can't plough the fields, it can't do production, it's barely okay to do sabotage, it's just a toy to show off its skills."
Although he didn't want to admit it, Chen Shen also knew that the boxer he made looked very shocking, but when it came to practical use, it really didn't work.
Isn't it possible to let the boxer hold his small battery and take the bucket in his hand to the Luxiang Technical Institute for further study?
"As we all know, if there is no way to realize the application of any kind of equipment, and only rely on the support of prospects and feelings, then it is difficult to develop this kind of equipment and subsequent technology."
"Even if it's a mech."
Everyone nodded approvingly, and they thought the same thing.
Just imagine, if all the people in the world were superhumans, and guns couldn't hurt humans at all, would it still be created?
Will anyone still be looking at guns for all sorts of purposes, such as pistols, rifles, sniper rifles?
"So an urgent problem in front of us is to explore a way to put mecha into practical use." Chen Shen said.
"Whether it is military, agriculture, or industry, as long as we can create a mecha with practical use, then the mecha can continue to develop in the future, otherwise its technology will be split up sooner or later and become fertilizer for other industries."
"So which direction do you think we should go?"
Everyone looked at Chen Shen, who was sitting in the first place, and when he said this, it was obvious that there was a direction.
"Quite simply, the mech's ability to provide strong protection to the pilot inside can be dwarfed by a human weapon of mass destruction such as missiles."
"However, in the face of accidents such as fire, as long as targeted protection is done, it is more than enough to protect the driver."
This sentence immediately opened everyone's minds.
"Really?"
"You mean ......"
"The next mech we're going to do is ......"
"Firefighting mech?"
Everyone looked at each other and felt a little incredible.
Is the idea really viable?
Yang Xing first raised an objection: "The volume and weight of the mecha are so large, it will be difficult to pass through the city, right?" ”
"And it's impossible for mechs to enter the building to extinguish fires, and besides, there are fire truck......s to extinguish fires," the others followed.
Chen Shen shook his head: "Your thinking is still too limited. ”
"We're talking about the new mecha now, not the boxer, you say that the mecha can't be passed on the city road, it's the case of the boxer, not necessarily the new mecha."
"Also, fires don't just happen in city buildings."
"Fires in forests, mountains, and areas where hazardous chemicals are stacked are more likely to result in firefighter deaths. For example, when a forest fire occurs, depending on the type of fire, the flame temperature can reach up to 900 to 1500 degrees, and people can only survive for up to 18 seconds under the heat wave and smoke generated by this flame. ”
Everyone still had questions, "If it's a forest environment with a lot of trees, it's difficult for mecha to enter the fire, right?" In this case, firefighting helicopters are usually used, right? ”
Chen Shen said: "The size of the mecha is designed to be smaller, or it can be made bigger and run into it directly, there are many ways to enter the fire, you can choose by yourself." ”
"The mecha grinds a path through the forest, and the next rain will start to recover, and the forest burned by the wildfire may never recover."
"As for how to compete with firefighting helicopters, the largest firefighting helicopter in the world currently has a maximum payload of only five tons, and the flight time is only half an hour when fully loaded, and the price is expensive, almost 100 million for one one."
"The load capacity of the mecha far exceeds that of the firefighting helicopter, the Boxer can carry more than 80 tons of armor, and the new mecha is designed to be lightweight on its basis, and it is estimated that the load of 30 tons is not a problem, which means that the redundancy it leaves for the firefighting system is very considerable."
"Let's put it this way, even if we pour dozens of tons of water into the mecha and spray it directly into the fire, it is possible to achieve very good results."
"And the mecha can directly enter the fire, and even go deep into the fire to perform rescue missions, and at the same time have a variety of firefighting and rescue purposes, and can also protect firefighters."
"Speaking of cost, the cost of a mecha like the Boxer is about twenty-two million, as long as there are no problems with the neural connection system and energy system, the logistics and maintenance are relatively simple, and the cost of the new mecha only needs to be controlled within fifteen million, and the firefighting mecha is competitive in the market."
"And the cost of neural connectivity and energy systems will drop dramatically in the foreseeable future......"
The reactor and ion battery of the Boxer cost 1 million and 300,000 yuan respectively, but the cost of this industrial product will drop rapidly with the number of productions, and Chen Shen estimates that the production capacity of these two things must be already being prepared internally.
There was silence, unsure if the idea was feasible.
The professors thought about it for a long time and discussed it with each other.
"We thought we could test the idea first, but we needed to bring in some fire protection system experts from elsewhere to help us." ”
The professors looked at the scene, and it was obvious that none of them had ever been to the real fire.
"Of course there's no problem with that."
Chen Shen said and looked at Wang Qian habitually, and suddenly reacted, there should be no one on her side, and she has to find someone else for this matter.
"I'll go to the principal and ask him to help coordinate it."
