In the time before the Great Plague of this year, the military industrial center of the Northern Earth Gun Flame Industry Alliance.

The No. 6 experimental plant of the Gun Flame Family has successfully verified the rationality of the aerodynamic design of low-altitude and high-speed assault equipment through a diode computer, and has carried out model tests in the wind tunnel.

Binghe and the seven mechanics of the family finalized the design of the new mech.

April 3, 1030 in the steam calendar.

In the center of the No. 7 experimental plant, after four modifications, the first batch of finished products was prepared.

This can no longer be said to be a mechanical combat suit, but a kind of individual combat mecha similar to a combat uniform. The weight of the entire individual combat mecha reached 1.2 tons, a large number of aluminum alloy materials were used, and there were two pulse-detonation engines on the two ribs of the mecha.

The mecha resembles a mechanical velociraptor with gliding wings. Pieces of ceramic-metal composite bulletproof panels cover the cockpit, legs cover most of the cockpit, and at the same time there is a thick layer of bulletproof glass in the cockpit observation.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the mechanical tail on the mecha that is 1.5 meters long. In stationary standing, the mechanical tail will be retracted, and the tail end will be held in place in the back sheath of the butt. This avoids the wear and tear caused by dragging on the ground. The biggest role of this tail is to maintain balance during high-speed movements.

Generally speaking, this thing is an airplane flying close to the ground, and when the shock engine is activated, it enters a high-speed charging state.

In the past, it was difficult to ensure balance after the humanoid mechanical suit was accelerated to a certain extent by running, and the key to the balance of this low-altitude assault mecha that can float 40 meters in one step by relying on the ground airflow effect is to rely on the pneumatics of the wings.

But in this way, it is difficult to turn in the air. This is extremely easy to lock on to the target's magic. In order to make up for this shortcoming, Binghe thought of many methods, such as the idea of adding a jetpack and turning the wings into a bird flapping structure, but found that they were unsuccessful.

In the deadlock of thinking, Binghe suddenly thought of the extremely "anti-Newtonian" action of some plateau cats, and added this long-tailed system in a flash of inspiration. Directly solves its ability to suddenly change direction in mid-air, and the effect is outstanding.

In terms of human aesthetics, this tail makes the entire suit look a lot like a mechanical alien, with an evil and violent beauty. Binghe gave this mecha the code name Dragon Guard Mecha.

The entire Seven Lab made fifteen of these mechs. And now on the proving ground, Dusty is testing one of them. The mechanical tail supported the ground and suddenly popped violently, and the mecha weighing one or two tons bounced off. Then it spread its wings and took off like a grasshopper. In less than four seconds, it accelerates to a high speed of 30 meters per second.

Thousands of meters of the test site was shrouded in a sharp whistling sound. The sound is like the noise of a motorcycle speeding down the highway.

Dusty initially controlled a low speed of thirty meters per second, but as he became more proficient, he began to accelerate the mecha to a speed of more than sixty meters per second. The entire mecha is like a peregrine falcon, showing a streamlined body flying low in the field.

In order to test the breakthrough ability of the Dragon Guard mecha against traditional firepower, a three-millimeter small-caliber bullet was used in the experimental site to simulate fire interception, and in the test, this mecha demonstrated excellent assault ability at a distance of 300 meters.

When the class reaches a speed of more than 50 meters, it can rewrite a lot of rules of war.

The load of the Dragon Guard mecha is capable of carrying a large number of rockets, which is no longer something that the current machine gun position can defend. This required barrage blocking by armored vehicles equipped with an automatic fire control system.

Obviously, the mobility of armored vehicles is not as flexible as the current mecha - the Dragon Guard mecha is essentially a low-altitude aircraft with some complex mechanical structures, which can correspond to the helicopter gunship on the earth. The lack of this class on Earth is due to the lack of low-altitude viewing angles, but the fortress's top-down viewing angle can make up for it.

The armor controlled by Dusty stopped on the concrete floor, and the metal frame that popped out of his ankle sharpened the ground with dazzling sparks. The smell of burning metal spread with the splash of sparks. And this two-hundred-kilogram metal armor brings air currents like a small airplane. The air currents caused a wrinkle in Bing's clothes, which fluctuated, flattened, and fluctuated in the wind.

When testing the performance of the mecha, Binghe was testing the smoothness of the mecha's data link, that is, how to flexibly transmit the data observed in the fortress field to a whole team of mechs, so that they can perform flexible operations in impact tactics.

The bell ......, a very crisp and piercing metallic sliding sound. The Dragon Guard mecha came to a halt on a metal platform thirty meters away from Binghe.

The layers of mechanical structures in the armor opened, and the red-faced Dusty jumped out of it and ran to Binghe's side, excitedly telling about his feelings about driving a speed-based mechanical car.

Binghe rubbed Chenjia's head indulgently and said, "You, the realm can only be opened sixty meters high, don't take such risks, slow down, be careful." ”

Dusty Jia chirped: "Master, there is no problem with the automatic balancing program you set, and with the tail rudder structure, I think it should be able to be rationed to the mid-level professionals." I didn't use Domain Scouting just now, Concentration and Dynamic Vision, these two spells are enough for me to grasp my surroundings. ”

Binghe waved his hand and said, "Make a small batch first, about five sets, and I'll let the knights over there take over the equipment." ”

Dusty said curiously, "Will you just produce five?" ”

Chenjia's eyes glanced at the laboratory on the side, where there were obviously fifteen finished mechas, as well as a large number of parts configurations. Binghe now says that only five pieces will be produced. But out of trust in Binghe, Chenjia felt that he had missed something.

Binghe said leisurely: "This kind of very expensive thing is very good to produce five pieces at a time, and we can't guarantee the quality if we have more." And-"

Binghe looked at Chenjia and emphasized word by word: "The cost of our testing mecha is very high, and now the Gun Flame Family is qualified to test mecha except you and me, who else?" ”

Binghe's tone grew louder, and his voice was deliberately heard by some people on the test ground. At this time, in this proving ground, there were also more than a dozen mechanics.

Although these mechanics are the backbone of the Gun Flame Industry Alliance, Binghe is well aware that some of them also act as the eyes of the royal family of St. Sauk, receiving double pay.

The mecha parameters tested today will soon be passed in front of the upper echelons of the Empire. And Binghe's current words are to inform the big men of the empire that the latest military equipment now, the Gun Flame Family will not hand it over casually.

Bing Core can pretend to be confused, default to the empire does not improve the status of the Gun Flame family, and default that the Saint Sauk royal family needs time to adjust the space.

Although Binghe is not in a hurry to change the political status of the Gun Flame family for a while, and admits that the royal family of Saint Sack has the need to alleviate domestic contradictions, Binghe wants to remind Saint Thoke that the empire can always acquiesce to the reality that the interests of the Gun Flame family are suppressed, which is also a loss to the royal family.

As long as St. Thauk drags on for a day, the Gun Flame Family's major weapon technology innovation will be hidden from the Empire for a day.

[Two minutes later, in the test field, three mechanics are skillfully performing ground service for the test mech. 】

Now Binghe is also wearing this set of Dragon Guard mech, and the weapon hardpoint of the mecha is mounted with automatic firearms and seven rockets without warheads.

While testing the electronic weapon system on the mecha, Binghe continued to mutter to the dust on the side: "Dust, do you know why there are so few geniuses in this world? ”

Dust, who was holding back the field to observe the movement structure of the mecha, raised his head and shook his head in confusion.

Binghe leaned his head on the mechanical helmet of the cockpit, and before falling down the glass baffle, Binghe said in a tone of 'I am from society': "Because I pretend to be mediocre, I don't suffer." ”

[Six days later, in the bright spring of the imperial capital, the Celestial Tower greeted the bright sun, and the imperial prince Chanhong sat in the General Intelligence Bureau. 】

When the plague event ended, Emperor Jialong handed over part of the intelligence work in the empire to Chan Hong, citing that he was too tired from his work.

When Canhong took over the work, he inadvertently discovered that His Majesty the Emperor was 'missing' some information about the plague incident.

His Majesty's 'exhausted' Chan Hong understood that there was no clear evidence from the empire to indicate who the culprit of the plague was, and as the future successor of the empire, His Royal Highness Chan Hong could only increase his attention.

And the direction that Canhong has strengthened his attention to, including the medical and pastoral college in the imperial capital, as well as the every move of the young mechanical fortress in the north.

In the study with a high ceiling, Chan Hung turned on the electric light on the table. Pulled out of the drawer this month's intelligence letterhead.

Now, as usual, he first opened the information from the Northern Gun Flame Family. However, after seeing a few triangle accents on the intelligence label, the prince looked at him seriously, and his hand quickened to open the information book.

Then he saw a series of photos and some very professional mechanical parameter data.

Chanhong held the intelligence notebook in his hand for several minutes and did not put it down. He read word by word, trying to make sense of the technical data.

And when he saw that the first batch of test weapons was going to be delivered to West, Chanhong's face darkened.

And then I saw the informant's record - Bing checked and explained to Dusty that "those reasons why they gave West's weapons to test were not willing to give them to the Imperial Legion."

Chanhong couldn't help but snort coldly, then raised his head and ordered the others in the room, "All go out." ”

Chanhong cleared all the people in the room, and when the room was empty, the prince smashed the information book in his hand to the ground.

The thick information book was smashed and the paper binding fell off. The photo flew up to a meter away.

Chanhong pointed to the floor tiles, and Binghe, who was sitting in a mecha in a certain photo, scolded: "You slippery ghost, do you think the empire has treated you badly now?" ”
