137 Battle of Los Angeles (8): Who Commands the Monsters?
Thanks to the simple televised speech of the previous Pacific Rim Defense Organization, the death of the [Echo Sabre] did not cause widespread panic among the people.
However, watching the live broadcast, the cancer destroying the city unscrupulously made everyone worry for a while.
That's Luoshanji, the largest city on the west coast of the United States, and it's ruthlessly destroyed by monsters.
Our Mecha ..... What about our mechs?
Finally, in the midst of the people's thousand calls, the remaining four mechs finally arrived at their respective battlefields.
The [Dangerous Wanderer] encountered the virus on the beach by the sea, while the other three third mechs surrounded the giant cancer in the main road of the city.
[Dangerous Wanderer] and the virus are already old rivals, and the two face each other and fight directly.
Now the [Dangerous Wanderer] has no ranged weapons, and can only fight closely.
But Beckett and Asako's understanding of melee combat is definitely the top in the North American division.
When the aerial helicopter was changed, the virus did seem to be less intelligent, which was good news for the [Dangerous Wanderers].
But less does not mean that there is absolutely no wisdom, which makes the fight between the two behemoths can only be equal.
The virus gave the [Dangerous Wanderer] a claw, and the [Dangerous Wanderer] gave the virus another blow.
You go back and forth between the two, and you have a lot of fun.
However, compared to the 'easy' on the side of [Dangerous Wanderer], the situation of the other three third mechs is not so optimistic.
The crab behaves like a monster that has become a spirit.
[Berserker] slashed through with an axe, only to catch up with the giant pincers of the Cancer.
With a click, the handle of the axe was actually cut off by the cancer. More than 100 tons of axes fell onto the road, smashing a deep hole into the road.
[Melancholy Romeo] did not dare to use artillery fire to attack from a distance, for fear of accidentally injuring his teammates, so he could only fight in close combat, and he scooped up the Cancer's broken wrist and wanted to use the anti-joint method to dislocate it.
However, even though [Melancholy Romeo] turned on all the power, it still failed to reverse the Cancer's joints, and was instead reversed by the Cancer.
The small round shield of [Thunder Shield] can use shield strikes, but it rushes up and uses shield strikes, but it only knocks back the cancer one step, and then it is pierced by the big pincers of the giant crab The small shield is pierced, even if the elegant electricity attached to the small shield is ignored by the crab.
Although the first battle was defeated, the three mechs did not give up, but surrounded the giant crab again, pressing forward step by step.
It is impossible for them to let the Cancer destroy Los Angeles with impunity, and sacrifice is the mission of every mecha pilot.....
...............
At a height of 500 kilometers above the sea surface of Luoshanji, four transport planes worked together to transport a red mecha through the hoisting frame.
Facing the scorching cold wind, it was like an iron giant, swinging in the air.
It's a mecha [Tiger Guard].
"Xiaofeng, have you watched the video of the Battle of Los Angeles?"
In the communicator, Lin Guoxiang's voice came.
"Well, I looked!" Lin Feng nodded, and the display platform in front of him was playing the video of the Battle of Luoshanji.
"The monsters that invaded this time seem to have given birth to wisdom, and the monsters blessed by wisdom are indeed very powerful, Xiaofeng, are you sure?"
In the communicator, Lin Guoxiang was very worried about this battle.
No one expected that after the monster had wisdom, it would become so terrifying, the [Saber Athena] hung up in one shot, the [Dangerous Wanderer] was also thrown out several times, and he was completely at a disadvantage, and the [Echo Saber] was also killed in the second encounter.
As for the combat power of the other three third-generation mechas, it is completely insufficient.
In this regard, Lin Feng pondered for a long time: "To be honest, if I encounter the two monsters in the current video, I am not too sure, but I think that these two monsters are not born with wisdom, but I feel that someone is directing them." ”
Hearing Lin Feng's speculation, Lin Guoxiang reacted instantly: "Someone commands them? You mean Newton? ”
"At the moment I don't have absolute evidence to prove my guess, because it's too far away from the battlefield to logically make sense in some aspects, and when I get to the battlefield, I should be able to confirm whether my point of view is correct."
"Hmm!" Lin Guoxiang echoed, "I think it's ridiculous to think the analysis sent by the North American branch just now, their experts actually think that the monster has some kind of smart program installed on it, and the aerial helicopter can touch this smart program." ”
Lin Feng also wondered: "This, what does it have to do with the Hangzhou helicopter?" ”
"In the previous battle, as soon as the aerial helicopter arrived, the monster became wise, and as soon as the aerial helicopter left, the monster was as brainless as before. That's why they have this inference. ”
After getting this explanation, Lin Feng also felt very strange, how could this monster feel like a star showing off his acting skills, and his acting skills exploded as soon as he broadcast live.
Is this a monster among stars, or a star among monsters?
That's.
It seems that only the speculation of the North American Division can be used to explain this illogical phenomenon.
But Lin Feng had a faint feeling that something was wrong.
That's right, Dr. Newton.
Since Dr. Newton can control the little monsters in the second part, he can definitely control the real monsters as well.
He must be commanding these monsters.
As for how to command, it's even simpler.
While watching the live broadcast, use the feedback from the live broadcast screen to accurately command the monster to attack.
It's like playing a PS game, the live screen is his display, and the brain is his controller.
It must be so.
But the only question is, how did Dr. Newton solve the signal delay?
There are several reasons for the signal delay of live streaming: the network environment for streaming (video recording), the bandwidth for server upload and delivery, and the network environment for pulling streams (playback).
For various reasons, there can be no "zero latency" in reality, at least with the current technology, which is unlikely to be achieved, and the delay during live streaming can only be shortened as much as possible.
Even so, it is not possible to accurately guarantee how many seconds of latency, and perhaps a very low latency can be achieved in the experimental environment, but in the real environment, the actual delay will be greater when considering the deployment of edge nodes, backbone network congestion, weak network environment, equipment performance, system performance and other issues.
In general, the encoder has a delay of 2-3s on the PC side and 15-25s on the mobile side. The increase in latency on mobile is mainly caused by HLS transcoding. Mobile live streaming usually increases the latency by about 2 seconds compared with encoder live streaming, and desktop live streaming tools usually increase the latency by about 5 seconds compared with encoder live streaming. If the keyframe interval is 3 seconds, the delay on the phone can be maintained at 20s.
If there is a delay of 20 seconds, such a command is purely a drag, and it is better to command the monster to fight than to let the monster fight on its own.
Even the delay on the computer side is between 2-3 seconds, plus the human nerve reaction time and command feedback, it is at least 3 to 4 seconds.
With a delay of three to four seconds, it seems that it is enough to command a huge monster to fight, because the monsters and mechs are clumsy, and the combat delay itself can exceed this time.
But in reality, it is simply not possible.
Because of this delay in the feedback time, the total delay time has reached seven or eight seconds.
In seven or eight seconds, the plasma cannon can be fired 4 times in succession, including the preparation time.
