168 The current state of the mecha industry

It's said to be enjoyable, but it's more like a technical exchange.

"Director Cai, I heard that the major branches are working on the fifth-generation mecha."

Sitting on the chairs on the deck, drinking afternoon tea, and simply saying hello, the topic of the two of them turned to the mecha.

The concept of the fourth-generation mecha has been proposed for more than two years, and today, two years later, some scientists have begun to put forward the concept of the fifth-generation mecha.

Cai Tiantong nodded, "Indeed, the mecha experts of the major branches have already held a video conference and had a simple exchange on the design of the fifth-generation mecha!" ”

"Most experts believe that the design upgrade direction of the fifth-generation mecha is mainly weapon systems."

Lin Feng frowned, listening to what Cai Tiantong meant, this is to define the fifth-generation mecha upgrade standard in the weapon system?

The third-generation mecha and fourth-generation mecha upgrades are defined as operating systems, while the fourth-generation mechs and fifth-generation mechs are defined as weapon systems, weapon system upgrades, are indeed a necessary upgrade.

Because the Battle of Jiangcheng and the Battle of Luoshanji have proved that in addition to their rough skin and thick flesh, monsters can actually use energy attack methods and chemical weapons.

For example, the electromagnetic pulse of the leatherback turtle, the flame attack of the giant crab, and the strong acid attack of the tailed rat and the virus.

In view of the monster's strange attack methods, the fifth-generation mecha had to make corresponding changes, among which the weapon system is the top priority in the mecha upgrade.

However, Cai Tiantong's words were not finished.

"Some time ago, I also participated in that video conference, and the mecha experts put forward a lot of different designs, some believe that the use of incendiary bombs should be increased on the fifth-generation mecha, some experts think that the fifth-generation mecha should increase refrigerant storage, and some experts think that a strong acid spray gun should be installed on the arm of the fifth-generation mecha......."

Lin Feng was speechless, these designs are really wonderful.

Incendiary bombs, many mechs are indeed equipped with incendiary bombs, such as the original [Chernoalpha], which is equipped with an incendiary bomb launcher on its arm.

But incendiary bombs are impossible to use on a large scale, after all, monsters are not dead things, they are biological weapons, if they burn, they will be like fire bulls that ignite their tails, completely ignoring the mecha in battle, desperately impacting the invading city.

The role of the mecha is to kill the monster, not to drive the monster away, if the mecha is equipped with incendiary bombs, it is better to directly use the helicopter to drop gasoline bombs, which is relatively cheap.

As for refrigerants, it is also unlikely.

There are only a few conventional refrigerants.

Ammonia Refrigeration (Code: R717), Freon-12 (Code: R12), Freon-22 (Code: R22), R-134A (Code: R134A), R-404A Refrigerant and R-410A Refrigerant.

These refrigerants act too slowly, and it is better to use a coolant, such as liquid nitrogen.

In other words, those experts mean to use liquid nitrogen.

At normal pressure, the temperature of liquid nitrogen is -196°C, so spraying liquid nitrogen on the monster may indeed achieve an instantaneous freezing effect. After all, with a temperature of -196°C, the monster can't bear it. In other words, liquid nitrogen can even be used against fire-breathing monsters, such as giant cancers.

However, the liquid nitrogen volatilizes too quickly, and the monster is so large that it is impossible to completely freeze it.

If you have the ability to freeze monsters, you might as well dispatch a few helicopters and drop cryonics in the air.

Similarly, it is not realistic to let the mecha spray strong acid, which is a double-sided blade that harms others and oneself.

Of course, these are just Lin Feng's personal opinions, maybe those mecha experts have already found the key to solving the problem, so they will come up with such a strange design plan.

Lin Feng was thinking about the pros and cons of these weapons, and listened to Cai Tiantong continue: "Some experts have proposed to modify the body design of the mecha, thinking that the fifth-generation mecha should be designed as a long-legged mecha!" ”

Long-legged mechs?

Lin Feng thought about it for a moment and understood the meaning of this.

In the Battle of Jiangcheng and the Battle of Los Angeles, many buildings were destroyed in the battle, and one-third of these destroyed buildings were destroyed by mechas.

Not to mention the damage caused by fighting monsters, there is a lot of damage to buildings when the mech is walking.

Some of the narrow roads are not as wide as the mech's shoulders, causing the mecha to pass by, and the high-rise buildings on both sides are also damaged by the mecha's body.

In response to this situation, there are experts who want to design long-legged mechas.

But what's the point of this design?

"Alas!" Without waiting for Lin Feng to be puzzled, Cai Tiantong had his explanation, "The headquarters of the Pacific Rim Defense Organization cut the money for mechas, and the fiasco of the Battle of Luoshanji made many mecha experts lose confidence. ”

Losing confidence, breaking the jar?

Lin Feng frowned, as if it was true.

As the mecha industry ushers in a cold winter again, it is normal for those experts to break the jar.

And this time it's not just a mecha winter, the battle of Luoshanji, although in the end the human race still defeated the monster, but the casualties of the six mecha greatly hit the confidence of the people, including these experts.

The fourth-generation mecha has shown absolute weakness when it encounters the fourth-weight monster, so even if the fifth-generation mecha is designed, can it withstand the invasion of the fifth-weight monster in the future?

Not only are the people not confident in the future of mechas, but these experts are also not confident in the future of mechas.

The people's lack of confidence may be guided by the media, but those experts cannot regain their confidence by listening to two sentences of TV news.

It can be said that the battle of Los Angeles not only underestimated the mecha industry, but also underestimated the confidence of these mecha experts.

However, this form is what Lin Feng does not want to see.

The mecha industry may have a cold winter, but if there are always so many people who are full of confidence in mecha, then the mecha industry will eventually usher in spring, if the confidence is gone, then the mecha industry may be completely wiped out in history.

This lack of confidence is not only caused by the huge losses caused by the Battle of Jiangcheng and the Battle of Luoshanji, but also the result of the disadvantages shown in the mecha and monster battles in recent years.

And the Battle of Jiangcheng and the Battle of Luoshanji were just the last two straws that broke the camel's back.

The exposure of the new ore on Skull Island can restore the confidence of a few people in a sense, but for these people to fully gather their confidence, it must be on the battlefield.

In view of this, Lin Feng felt that he should do something.

For example, several major victories in a row.

One against two, one against three, crush the monster?

These results may be difficult, but they are not completely impossible for Lin Feng.

But until that happens, there can be no more mecha deaths.

If all the mechs are killed, only Lin Feng's mecha remains.

Lin Feng can certainly be the pride of the sky, but the mecha industry will also decline completely.

Lin Feng is a human being, not a god, and it is impossible for him alone to drive the entire mecha industry, and it is impossible for the entire mecha industry to make mecha for him alone.

There must be more excellent drivers and more brilliant achievements to drive the revival of the mecha industry.
