Chapter Ninety-Seven: Deformation of the Carrier Vehicle
After visiting the new type of deformation power exoskeleton equipment, Zhang Bin introduced many deformable weapons made by using deformation body technology to Qiao Lu.
For example, the multi-functional sniper rifle that can freely switch between assault mode and sniper mode, the high-tech gun blade with both blade and pistol modes, and even the special weapon of cannon and warhammer for Transformers, which can satisfy human firepower desires while also giving Transformers certain melee abilities.
These things can be described as dazzling, and it seems that they have not wasted more than two months.
"And what about the mech?" Qiao Lu asked, this is the greatest use of the transformation technology.
Zhang Bin replied: "Of course we are also developing mechas, please come here." ”
He took Qiao Lu to a heavy truck, where several crew members were putting the finishing touches on it.
This kind of heavy-duty carrier Qiao Lu can be said to be very familiar, and its voice broadcast "Thousands of Roads" has also become a symbol of the wandering earth.
During the last Battle of Pandora, this kind of carrier was transformed into an armed mining vehicle and put into battle, but what was it transformed into this time?
There was no need for Qiao Lu to wait too long, and the transformation of the heavy carrier vehicle had already begun.
The behemoth, which weighed more than fifty tons, began a dazzling mechanical transformation in front of everyone.
Originally, the position of the cab became the torso of the mecha, and the driver's position was placed in front of the mecha's chest, so that the driver could still observe the situation ahead through the window even when the neural connection was ineffective.
At the same time, the front wheels of the carrier vehicle are transformed into the legs of the mech, which is a bit short for a humanoid mech, but it does not prevent it from traveling on both feet.
The left hand sticking out of the body has an excavation drill bit attached to it, and the right hand is a multi-functional giant tong used to grasp minerals, marking its identity as an industrial mecha.
Overall, the Carrier Mech resembles the Dreadnought armor found in the Warhammer 40K, with a low and bloated body that looks like a walking carrier, and the original carrier car has become its backpack for the minerals it gathers.
It's just that it's all for practicality, the bloated torso is for more space, and the short legs are because there is a vehicle form that can maneuver at high speeds, so there is no need to run at all.
In the spirit of absolute pragmatism, this carrier mecha inevitably looks a little rustic, and it doesn't look so high-tech.
But those who think this way will surely change their minds after taking a slap of the electric light poison dragon drill in their left hand.
It doesn't look like it's used to work on Earth.
Zhang Bin explained to Qiao Lu: "Since the planetary engine now has the ability to mine on its own, the demand for mineral mining on the earth has been greatly reduced. That's why we plan to use this carrier mech to form a space engineering team to try out space mining operations when we reach the next world. ”
After all, the resources on the earth are limited, and if the wandering earth wants to continue to develop, it must try to exploit the resources on other planets for its own use.
In this way, this kind of multi-functional engineering mecha is also very necessary, I don't know how harsh the working environment will be in space, and the transformation mecha that can flexibly cope with various situations can be said to be the first choice of the engineering team.
Driving when you have the conditions and walking when you don't have the conditions is the way to move that can adapt to the complex ground environment in space.
"Well done." Qiao Lu nodded.
This new type of carrier mech will definitely come in handy in the following worlds.
After seeing the application of these basic deformation techniques, Qiao Lu was still not satisfied.
Although 4,000 Transformers have joined, humanity's own battle mecha research and development cannot stand still.
But the most critical military combat mech, Qiao Lu never saw it.
To this question, Zhang Bin replied slightly apologetically:
"In the development of large military combat mechs, we have already built prototypes. However, we have encountered certain problems in how to mass produce. ”
"What's the problem?"
Zhang Bin replied: "The transformation mecha we made is different from the Transformers, and there is no way to use fire energy to drive it. Therefore, the issue of energy has become the key to the manufacture of large military combat mechs. The heavy nuclear fusion reactor is enough to supply the normal operation of industrial mechs, but if it is used in military combat mechs, it is still a bit scarce. ”
The essence of heavy element nuclear fusion reaction technology is to burn stones, and for the carrier mecha that was originally used for mining, there is naturally no need to worry about running out of stones to use, and you can replenish fuel by digging anywhere.
However, military combat mechs cannot be designed in this way, and loading too much fuel will affect the performance of the mecha itself, so other energy supply methods can only be sought.
Zhang Bin continued: "The best solution is, of course, antimatter power, but the current antimatter production is not enough, and we can only produce about 4 grams of antimatter in a month. Another option is a miniaturized cold fusion reactor, but we have not yet made a breakthrough in this technology. ”
Heavy nuclear fusion reactions are still thermonuclear fusion reactions, and cold nuclear fusion technology, which can be more miniaturized, needs to be obtained in the plane that will be traversed in the future.
I have to say that the current technology tree of the Wandering Earth is not normal, and it has mastered more efficient antimatter power technology before even mastering cold nuclear fusion technology.
Therefore, the production technology of antimatter has not been able to meet the supply demand.
Despite this, the problem of insufficient antimatter production reflected by Zhang Bin, Qiao Lu can have a little solution.
"I see." Qiao Lu shook hands with Zhang Bin and said, "Thank you for bringing me to see these latest technologies, Dean Zhang." ”
Zhang Bin hurriedly shook his head and said, "Where, I should report to you, and I have to bother you to come over in person." ”
Just as Qiao Lu was satisfied and about to leave the military laboratory, Zhang Bin suddenly stopped him.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Qiao, you still have a gift to take with you."
"Gifts?"
Qiao Lu was puzzled for a while, it was the first time for him to come, how could there be a gift here?
Zhang Bin smiled: "It's someone you know, who is working here now." ”
Hearing him say this, Qiao Lu immediately reacted.
It's Luo Yun.
"She's still doing research on power armor." Qiao Lu asked.
Zhang Bin nodded and said, "The transformation body technology has also been applied to your power armor by her, presumably about this matter." ”
For Luo Yun's Thundercloud-style power armor designed for him, Qiao Lu was quite grateful.
This set of power armor can be said to have withstood the test of the Cybertron battle, if it weren't for such a powerful set of power armor, Qiao Lu's initial operation would not have been able to carry out so smoothly.
Now that she's developed a new variant of power armor, what will it look like?
Then you can only find out by going and looking.
