141 Setting 12 The Lord of the "Hundred Soldiers" - Ten Swords No. 2

"Ten Swords' No. 2 machine, the development code name 'Wormda' is launched!"

— AI Thoth

"I've never seen a model like this, its structure is so advanced that the driver's seat can even be turned into a power exoskeleton mode, allowing the body to do the driver's movements!"

—Armstrong, Technician of the Osiris

【Styling】

Unit 2 is completely black, and its overall appearance resembles that of a demon in a video game. There are two large horns on the top of the head that curve forward, and the mouth can be opened. The cuirass part has a decoration like a skeleton.

[Equipment and Forms]

"Initial Form—Worm"

In its most basic state, the weapons of the second machine are only two laser knives and one laser rifle.

"Cruel Form"

Equipped with an additional giant shield and a long-handled laser battle axe. The shield has a relief of a three-headed eagle with its head destroyed, and a long-handled laser battle axe can be stored in normal times, and when fully unfolded, it is 20 meters long.

"Dian Wei Form"

There are two more laser halberds that can be stored like lightsabers.

"The Form of the Fudo King"

Two hands are installed on the back of the No. 2 machine, which can flexibly control various weapons and can be stored away in normal times.

In fact, the No. 2 was originally designed to have six hands, but due to the burden on the driver and the immaturity of the technology, it only had two hands when it left the factory.

(I incorporated some elements of chaos and esoteric religion in the Warhammer into the design of machine 2, the shape of the head is from the demon, and the design of the multi-hand is from the esoteric god.) )

【Airframe Positioning】

The body of the various melee laser weapons is tested, and it is also the only ten-sword body equipped with AI.

【Development process】

After the world's first humanoid weapon, Shijian No. 1, was successfully rolled off the assembly line, the design of the follow-up body began immediately. Now that the concept of humanoid weapons has been realized, the next direction is naturally to expand the possibilities of humanoid weapons. As the closest to the original, Unit 2 was tasked with testing laser melee weapons.

In the equipment of the No. 1 machine, a trial laser knife has been equipped. The laser knife is a weapon that originally only appeared in a few words with the ruins of the legendary era. However, with the blessing of photonic energy technology, the Moore Chamber of Commerce has successfully solved the problem that laser melee weapons cannot be shaped and the output is unstable.

The laser knife was beautifully developed, and the technicians quickly brainstormed and designed more than a dozen laser melee weapons, including some bizarre designs. However, even though the No. 2 machine has long been off the assembly line, the technicians have not been able to achieve the production of most of the laser melee weapons. In addition, the cost of each weapon was very high, which affected the subsequent development of the Ten Swords body, and the "Hundred Soldiers" plan was stopped.

The design problem is not only the weapon, but in the original design, the No. 2 was designed to make the most of the diversity of its weapons, so it was designed with six hands. First of all, it is very difficult to modify the skeleton based on the No. 1 machine to six-hand, and secondly, it is impossible to find a test driver who can control the six hands, so the designers also equipped the No. 2 machine with AI "Thot" to assist the driver in controlling the complex body.

(Because many of the development plans for the No. 2 machine were aborted, and the news that the unit was going to be sent to HER at that time.) The person who designed the AI is very dissatisfied, and the character of AI Toth is set to be relatively bad compared to other AIs)

Unit 2 left the factory too early, and because of the slow progress of weapon development, before it was about to be sent to HER, everyone found out that this body was not equipped with long-range weapons, and hastily gave the rifle of Unit 1 to Unit 2.

In this way, Unit 2 entered the battle in an almost half-finished form, but to the surprise of the developers, Unit 2 did not fall into the hands of HER, but joined the camp against HER and performed brilliantly. Under the impetus of Chairman Thomas, the development of some of the weapons design of the No. 2 continued, including the auxiliary arm, which had been eliminated. (The implementation plan has also been changed from the original direct estimate to an auxiliary mechanism attached to the back of the body.)

With the return of the No. 2 machine to the factory of the Moore Chamber of Commerce to complete the maintenance and installation of the auxiliary arm, the current No. 2 machine can be said to be the finished body, and there is still one weapon under development, which will be delivered for use in the future.

【Driver】

Unit 2 was supposed to be given to HER as a gift, but under the covert operation of President Thomas, Unit 2 was snatched by a group of guerrillas before it could be delivered to HER.

Lin Ao was originally just a refugee, and was involved in the snatching of the No. 2 machine, and was registered as a pilot by chance. He didn't know how to fly a complex weapon like a humanoid weapon at first, but thanks to the guidance of AI and others, as well as his own talent, Lin Ao has now grown into a qualified pilot.

(The setting of the No. 2 machine has not been written, but it is waiting for the appearance of the King of the Immovable Formation, and now the body settings of everyone in the Z team of five have been written.) Follow-up considerations will try to draw the machine design, but I haven't drawn for a long time and haven't used a pen tablet, it takes a while to get used to == I will post it on Weibo after I draw it)
