Chapter 80: Fire Mecha (for Book Friends 20170529144404454 Update)

Looking at the somewhat strange mecha in front of him, Chen Shen still felt that its four legs were a little too eye-catching, but considering that its main application scenario was mountains, forests and landforms, it could be understood.

Xu Ming saw that Chen Shen had been staring at the mecha's feet, and he also knew what he was thinking, so he took the initiative to explain: "The four legs of this mecha can be deformed, like spider legs, with the calves as support points and the thighs as suspensions, thus turning the entire mecha into a platform. ”

"We changed the direction according to your previous thinking, changing its positioning in the forest fire to a fire truck that can adapt to a variety of terrains and move quickly and can also move to the edge or even the center of the fire."

"In addition to the driver, up to nine people can be carried in the cockpit, and the mecha can be exited through the internal fire escape."

"With this platform, which can maintain stability in the fire field, the firefighters can survey and extinguish the surrounding fire through the hose and water cannon installed on the legs of the mecha, and at the same time, when the wind direction of the fire changes abruptly and the fire turns, the firefighters can also hide back in the mecha to avoid casualties."

This is a good idea, in forest fires, the most troublesome point is the terrain, most fire trucks can not reach the edge of the fire, can only rely on manpower to drag water cannons and hoses to the fire site, or use ultra-long water cannons to extinguish the fire at a distance.

In the fire field, the most dangerous situation is the change of wind direction in the fire field, the change of wind direction will change with the fire, maybe after a change in wind direction, the firefighters will be directly engulfed by the high temperature flames.

The role of this firefighting mecha is to be their fortress and logistics base in the fire field, which not only provides safety protection, but also provides help in extinguishing fires, and people in the cockpit of the mecha can also observe the development of the fire at any time.

"But if the mech is divided into four legs, it will be a big hindrance to the speed of movement, right?" Chen Shen looked at the four legs of the firefighting mecha.

It's hard to imagine how fast such a mech can move.

If this design is adopted, the driver will have to train for a long time just to control it to walk.

"We also have this issue in mind." Xu Ming shook his head and said: "Actually, its four legs can be closed in normal times, it usually uses the two-legged form, and only when it is in the fire or when it advances, it changes its four-legged form and advances steadily." ”

As soon as he said this, Chen Shen went to the bottom of the mecha to take a closer look, and found that the four legs on the left and right sides were actually really used in the joint structure!

It's a genius!

He suddenly saw that there was an obvious mount structure on the legs of the mecha, and his heart moved: "Are you planning to install the storage box of the fire protection system on the legs?" ”

"Yes." Xu Ming nodded and walked over, "We plan to put the storage box of the fire medium on the four lower legs, and at the same time there are four small storage boxes on the waist. ”

He added: "This mecha stands on both feet, the height is ten meters, and when it is in the four-legged platform state, the height is six meters, and it can carry a total of 26 tons of fire-fighting medium, the tentative medium is water, and the inside contains an anti-wave device, and after the fire-fighting system is mounted, the weight of the whole machine is expected to be about 73 tons." ”

Compared with the boxer, the firefighting mecha has been optimized in terms of material, and this weight is not very exaggerated.

It's just that Chen Shen frowned: "In this way, when in the four-legged form, will the upper body of the mecha, that is, the center, be too heavy?" Can the support frame formed by the four legs at the bottom be able to withstand the weight? ”

Xu Ming patted the mecha's calf, "For this problem, we have installed a transfer track, before starting the platform state, we can transfer the storage box on the waist to the calf, reducing the weight of the center, and at the same time, the sturdy storage box on the calf can also provide additional structural strength for the mecha." ”

"At the same time, in the platform state, the mecha will additionally extend the support column to bear the weight of the center."

Xu Ming pointed to the waist of the mecha again, where he could see the track connected to the four legs.

At this time, Yang Xing found a simple structural diagram, and Chen Shen looked at it carefully.

Only to find out that this mecha is not exactly a logistics platform according to the drawings, and it also has a certain fire extinguishing ability.

It has three built-in high-powered water pumps that supply its water guns for both hands and back, and the three outlets can shoot up to 5,000 litres of water per minute with a maximum range of 85 meters.

That is to say, when fully loaded, using the water gun of the mecha itself, it can shoot out all 26 tons of water in six minutes at the earliest.

At the same time, it is also equipped with a high-power pump, which only takes 40 minutes to pump water when the water source is sufficient.

The most surprising thing is that it has a suspension cable installed on the wrist of both hands of the mech, which can be used to lift the tank and replace it, and when the water runs out, it can be easily replaced and installed as soon as it returns to the logistics location.

As for the outer fireproof layer, it is made of high silica fabric, which is almost the same fabric as the firefighting clothing worn by firefighters.

To put it simply, this is a combination of a multi-terrain suitable for mecha, a fire truck, a crane and other machines.

It uses the shell of a mecha, sets the system of a fire truck, and is equipped with the function of a crane.

This is a mecha with a fairly high degree of design completion, if it can really be realized, although it cannot be used in all scenes, but it is still very helpful to arrange it in some places where forest fires often occur in China, and even sacrifices are often caused by fire fighting.

Chen Shen is still looking at the structure diagram, and the test has already begun over there.

Today's test is not the He brothers, but the triplets of the Zhou family.

The boss of the Zhou family wore the sensing equipment on the boxer, and climbed into the cab step by step through the fire ladder that stretched straight down from the crotch of the mecha.

Seeing this scene, Chen Shen couldn't help but want to complain about this way of getting in and out......

However, considering that this is to be used in the fire, it is understandable that it is necessary to shorten the time that personnel stay in the outside world.

In addition, the energy system on this mecha is still the same as that of the Boxer, and the plasma reactor and battery on its body are still removed from the Boxer.

Inside the cockpit, it also does not have the holographic system of the Boxer, but is operated by mechanical buttons and touch screens, which does not look as sci-fi as the Boxer.

"I'm ready." The voice of the boss of the Zhou family came from inside the mecha.

Xu Ming was outside into the walkie-talkie: "Then turn it on." ”

"Roger."

The boss of the Zhou family followed the established procedure, operated on the mechanical buttons and touch screen, and soon activated this second mecha in the world!

After activation, the first thing Chen Shen saw was the flashing warning light above his head......
