5.16 Ensure in-depth cooperation
A few hours after the feast, Binghe was invited to Vilian's study.
Under the guidance of West's family guard, Binghe walked through the walkway covered with white reliefs on both sides of the wall, walked through the corridor with a mirrored surface, stepped through the crystal glass floor, and came to Verian's study, opening the heavy red wooden door, and being greeted by a light fragrance.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Ronggang has arrived." The servant whispered, then closed the door, leaving space for Binghe and Villyanne.
Vilian was dressed in a white satin one-piece shirt, which was more feminine and beautiful than usual.
When she saw Binghe coming, she walked behind Binghe with a smile, pressed Binghe's shoulders, asked Binghe to sit down, and then sat down opposite Binghe.
Outside of any pretense, Vilian said as if she cared about her brother, "I learned about your recent personal work from the Blood Rose family. Don't mind if I ask you for any of this. ”
Binghe nodded and said, "Don't mind, I was going to make it public, and I also want to report this matter to you." ”
"Is it really difficult to make a suit? ”
Binghe: "Yes. ”
Veryanne: "But I've heard that you can get together the materials and parts for a suit in ten days. (Mechanical muscle fibers, microgyroscopes, and complex electronically controlled arrangement systems.) )
Binghe added: "It's not enough to just gather the materials, you have to assemble them. ”
Veryanne: "The Medic Priest can do the assembly." ”
Binghe continued: "It is also necessary to debug according to the person's condition, otherwise when running at full power, it will cause dislocations, fractures and other adverse effects on the human body. ”
Vilian continued: "You can adjust to 10 percent power first, and get used to it first. The power is then continuously increased to allow the user to adapt to the operation. ”
Binghe aphasia.
What Verian said now was all asked from the Blood Rose family, and Blood Rose seemed to be trying to get the support of the upper echelons, and she didn't mention the difficulty of the battle suit at all in terms of the feasibility of the suit.
Seeing that Binghe was silent, Verian showed a sly smile and said in a demanding tone: "I want ten sets, and the related maintenance work of these ten sets of battle uniforms." ”
Artificial muscle fibers can break, as can various gyroscope parts. Therefore, it needs to be maintained, and in the eyes of Binghe, these ten sets of mechanical suits are nothing, and the fatal thing is the follow-up maintenance problem.
This is the industry of the steam age, and what is the mechanical clothing equivalent to the steam age on the earth?
The equivalent of the elaborate pocket watches of the eighteenth century on Earth. The small and very delicate parts, made by watchmakers in the eighteenth century, were very expensive and were only supplied to high-ranking officers.
Parts of clocks and watches are not changed frequently, but with the large use of mechanical clothing, if the productivity is not fundamentally improved, relying on the mechanic to polish the parts like a clockmaker will be a logistical task that will drive the mechanic crazy.
As a military aristocrat, when Verian considered technical issues, she still ignored some essential issues.
So Binghe stood up, shook his head slowly, and said, "At present, our partnership has not expanded to this point. ”
Verian was stunned, her eyes were disappointed, and then she put on an intellectual smile, regained her dignity and asked, "Bid, I can bid as much as Saint Sauk can bid." ”
However, to Vilian's surprise, Binghe still shook his head: "My cooperation with Saint Sauc in this regard is also zero. ”
Binghe looked at Verian's somewhat puzzled expression and explained seriously: "I am very young, and so far, I have only worked with a few people. And the cooperative relationship that can withstand the wind and waves is very few, very rare. Speaking of which, Binghe looked at Veryanne. And Verian looked at him suddenly, and glanced at Binghe with a rather complaining smile.
Binghe went on to explain, "Although I tend to work with people who have a good precedent for working with them, I still have to consider whether my partners can give me stable support without fear of external forces. ”
Binghe's words at this time revealed his concern about the situation in West: in the intertwined game of great powers, West may interrupt investment under foreign interference, so even if there is already a good reputation foundation between West and the Gun Flame family, if West collapses, cooperation will naturally collapse.
Binghe looked at Verian and explained sincerely: "West's international environment must undergo major changes, and Your Majesty, we must first take this as the primary goal." After completing this cooperation, we can build the foundation for in-depth cooperation. ”
Vilian and Bing looked at each other, and she suddenly found that although the boy in front of her looked as lively and cute as an ordinary child many times, he could always grasp the key points when it came to some important things and talk to herself with an equal attitude.
Veryanne: "Isn't the suit you've made now a catalyst for this primary goal?" As a military aristocrat, Verian thinks of the strategic intimidation of various countries by the war uniform. As a mechanic, Binghe denied it.
Binghe: "West now needs more pragmatic technology, and the current uniform technology is immature. The so-called immaturity lies in the following points.
First, it must be manufactured by a senior machinist.
[Explanation: The current equipment in Binghe's eyes is too simple, and according to the current equipment conditions, the mechanical muscle filaments made by intermediate mechanics through alchemy are completely substandard. 】
Second, it is not yet suitable for the current median occupation.
[Explanation: The various operating systems are very complicated and complex to coordinate, so that many medical priests and mechanical controllers cannot operate at all.] Binghe is now preparing to develop special chips and control systems to make the operation of the combat suit easier. Moreover, the mechanical suit is suitable for person selection now. Stricter than the indicators of the pilots of the earth. It is not only necessary to look at the pulse, but also to look at the physique, after all, it is eight or nine overloaded movements, and a little fat physique will cause problems, and there will be problems with internal organs and bones. 】”
After hearing these words, Verian did not waver, but insisted: "However, I think you can overcome these things. ”
Binghe: "What I have overcome is a technical difficulty, and what West has to overcome is a weakness in national strength. Now the direction in which West needs to invest its main energy should be the chemical industry, steel, machine shops, and shipyards. And the uniforms are now only something that a few people can wear"
Veryanne: "A few? ”
Binghe: "This mechanical suit, the original purpose, was designed for the fortress profession. ”
Veryanne's smile was sluggish, oozing a hint of sweetness. Then Verian recalled the signs of the realm around Binghe, and she looked at Binghe and asked tentatively, "You designed it for the fortress?" ”
Bing checked his career questions and replied, "Yes, in the future, the mechanical suit can be controlled by the chip assist user, and now only the fortress realm can be the most effective auxiliary control. ”
Binghe looked at Verian and added: "The future development of this technology is divided into three stages.
The first stage is that the fortress can be used.
The second stage is where the mid-level classes of Mechanical Controller, Medic Priest, Explorer, Knight, and Sighter can be used.
The third stage is that it can be used by the lower professionals. ”
Binghe pointed to himself and said, "I'm showing the first stage, relying on the help of the professional trait (domain). However, for the needs of the middle occupation, it is still in the process of research and development, and it is expected that it will take two to three years before it can be applied on a small scale. Ten to fifteen years is practical for many knights. It took thirty to forty years for all knights to be available, and for the lower professions. ”
Narrator: Uniforms need to be customized, and customization requires sequencing the characteristics of many professions, and tailoring the types of uniforms for them.
At the same time, information about the uniforms spread from West to the entire Western Continent.
Easily overwhelm six knights in white-knuckle combat. At least two or three times as much of a Cavaliers' role in the Heat Era — that's what the Knights of St. Saur themselves say.
There are two reasons why the knights praised the appearance of the uniform technique
There are partly pragmatic reasons: knights need to be in the field, to survey the terrain, to inspect heavy ordnance, to establish authority in the army, all require good physical strength. The mechanical suit can indeed reduce physical exertion and increase the combat power of the commander.
Of course, there is also part of the reason: the emotional factor of the knights. Today's knights are more or less nostalgic for the days of the past when they were unequaled.
By Earth's standards, the knights are still very powerful. Liquid armor can defend against rifle bullets from a distance of 50 meters, and pistol bullets from a range of 10 to 20 meters. As long as they are not targeted by anti-tank guns, most of the time the knight is under the effect of various auxiliary magic. A platoon can be killed by fire from a distance of seventy or eighty meters.
But now the knights want an era when only knights of the same rank could restrain each other at the beginning of the gunpowder age.
Since the advent of the era of large-scale rifled guns, the scene of two knights chasing two or three thousand peasant miscellaneous soldiers has gone forever. In the later part of the Beast Calendar, knights tried to counter firearms by increasing the strength of their armor.
For the first few hundred years after the steam calendar, the great military aristocratic knights were urging mechanics to make thinner, stronger armor. By the time of steam, the barrel was changed to pure steel, and the charge was changed to smokeless gunpowder. The knights have come to some terms with reality. And Binghe's current invention is very much in line with the old feelings of the military aristocracy.
As for Bing Core, as a mechanical controller, he wears a battle suit, and can fight better than a knight. Will it make the knights feel a sense of crisis? It's not a conceptual thing.
The further rise of the mechanic's status may force the nobles to consider further compromises on the status of the machine controller.
But as mid-level knights of military aristocracy, they are not worried at all.
Because of the mechanical controller, how could the two median professions, the Medic Priest, wear battle uniforms to the frontline battlefield to steal the knight's job? (Note: The knight revokes the liquid armor technique, plus the mimic catalysis, that is, the sub-module on the magic vein is changed slightly, and the mechanical suit cannot subvert the knight's profession)
And the battle suit, something that can only be made by the combination of mechanical controllers and medical priests, is obviously not a crossbow arrow that caused a knightly crisis in the Middle Ages, because the poor could not afford it. This kind of high-end weapon, which can only be purchased by knights and can be used only by knights, is a blessing for the knight class.
