"Flashy!" The little one raised his eyebrows and said with great confidence, glancing at us as he spoke. However, this glance is not a search for an answer, but a truth. At this time, he was not like a middle school student who had just entered the modern society, but more like an old pedant pointing out the country.

The vibration was like a bolt of lightning from the ear canal straight into my nerves, stirring my whole being. If it weren't for the fact that Si Han had only learned some of the knowledge of mecha through my introduction, I doubted that he had already understood the relevant content before he could say such incisive words. Because these four words are not unspoken.

"Tell me about it!" The three adults looked at each other for a moment, all of them looked solemn, Yun Hao stopped the movement of the chewing muscles, and replaced them with another muscle activity.

Sihan saw us like this, thought for a moment and said, "I think it's a waste to design a human form, if it's used for battle, then it's better to design it into a battle mode." If you want it to do some logistics, you can design it in a humanoid shape. Brother Jingtian just said that there is only one laser gun for the three types of mechas, so as long as you make a machine with a laser gun, why bother to make a human form? ”

I smiled and leaned back, as a student who had just learned about mechas, it was quite good to be able to make such an analysis, whether it was comprehensive or not. I squeezed my eyebrows at Yun Hao and said, "It seems that we still have to explain it to our future master." ”

"What master, come less!" Yun Hao glared at me, scolded with a smile, and stared straight at Sihan and said, "There are also this kind of mecha you mentioned, we call it a pure combat mecha." The structure of a pure combat mech is indeed simpler than that of a humanoid mech, but it also has fewer functions. For example, due to the limitation of the size of the body, it does not have a backpack, which makes it only able to run on the ground, and it is inconvenient to move on complex terrain. It is not without harm that the mecha is designed in human form, and we humans have evolved over hundreds of thousands of years of history to grow like this. Just as our human ancestors built airplanes like birds, from the swim bladder of a fish to the diving or ascending of a submarine, this is a successful application of machine bionics. The mecha is designed to look like a human, which can be regarded as the embodiment of bionics! Many people hold this view. It also has some truth to it. ”

Sihan's eyes rolled, and just as he thought that we had convinced him, he said again: "I still don't think it's right, the mecha will either take the simplified version of the pure combat mode, or take the enhanced version, like the current one is too ......." ”

As if looking for a word, he looked at Grandpa Kong and muttered, "What's the word, oh!" By the way, the mean, the current mecha design is too modest. ”

"What a mean!" Yun Hao slapped his leg and shouted. He was so excited that it scared all three of us.

"The original design was too modest, I just wanted to face the mask, but I forgot the essential role of the mecha."

Yun Hao's face was excited, his eyes began to glow, he turned to me and said: "You know that I have always wanted to improve the mecha, but I have always felt that there is nowhere to start, after all, the mecha has changed over the years, it should be more successful, if you want to change, where is the direction?" Listening to Sihan say this today, it has strengthened my determination to improve the mecha, thinking about it, our original mecha is too mediocre, not outstanding enough in professionalism, too much emphasis on the usual general skills and sudden combat skills, this must be improved. ”

I nodded, approving. In fact, I have been thinking about this problem since I came back from the expedition, but I have not been able to find the directional reason for the current mecha problem.

"Sihan, there will be a mecha discussion tomorrow, I have a quota, do you want to participate!" Yun Hao looked at Sihan with a sincere expression.

"No, I don't understand the specific things, I still don't participate, I still have classes tomorrow, or it's important to study!" Sihan refused, which was a bit unexpected for us, it seems that the little guy is still very accurate in his positioning, and he did not go to the sky after a few words of praise from us. The three of them laughed, and Yun Hao didn't mention it anymore, but seeing his eyes, he was afraid that he appreciated Sihan even more in his heart.

I asked about the situation of the seminar, it turned out that tomorrow the Machinery Association will hold a big discussion on mecha, not only attended by figures from various industries in the whole Celta mecha, but also members of the Science and Technology Committee of the eighth district of the alliance presided, this time it was the second vice chairman of the Science and Technology Committee Borge Gert, the standard is still very high.

"It's rare for people from the Science and Technology Committee to participate in the mecha competition!" I was a little surprised. The people of the Science and Technology Committee are generally responsible for the most cutting-edge scientific and technological fields, and things like mecha have less scientific and technological content, and ordinary people can make a few planes as long as they give him some equipment, which seems to not attract the attention of the Science and Technology Committee.

"It's rare for people from the Alliance's Science and Technology Committee to participate in mecha competitions. This time, the second vice chairman of the Borgegt Committee flew for a long time to arrive. Yun Hao nodded and said, "Actually, in addition to our Celta Star this time, the people from the closest resident stars to us will also come, but this will be after the rematch." The preliminary round is just a selection tournament within our Celta Star, and because it is the host, there will be more places, and there will be a total of eight places to enter the final 32. ”

"That's it! I thought it was just us Celta people participating! That's lively! "I never slept as a child, and I was immediately happy, and the event of several planets competing together like this is getting smaller and smaller now.

"Hey! Giggle! A playful voice with a child's voice came, but it was Sihan who was covering his mouth and laughing.

"What's wrong!" Grandpa Kong looked at the young man sitting next to him.

"I'm laughing at how that man's name is so weird! Boron-starting, it's weird! He laughed again.

"He's a Saipan, and most of the Saipan names start with boron." I explained.

"It's aliens! What do they look like? Sihan asked curiously.

I told me what the Saipan people looked like, and after hearing this, Sihan looked unbelievable, and said, "That looks too much like a monster, ugly to death!" ”

I sank my face and said solemnly: "You can't think about it, don't think that just because we earthlings are good-looking, other races are monsters!" We earthlings naturally think that we are good-looking, but the same is true of other races, and they often don't think we look like monsters. In terms of appearance, the Ice Prism and us earthlings are about the same, but they don't have hair! ”

"Oh!" Sihan nodded, a little timidity flashing in his eyes. It was the first time since I met him that I spoke to him so harshly. Hopefully, this harshness will correct some of his erroneous views.

The next day, Yun Hao took me and took Sihan to discuss the conference. Originally, I wanted to call the flocon, but she pushed it off.

The discussion was held in the gymnasium, which was crowded with people, and it seemed that everyone paid more attention to the mecha than I thought. There was a rostrum in the hall, and there were three rows of seats behind the rostrum, and there were already many people seated, who should be the participants in the discussion meeting.

Not long after we sat down, a middle-aged man with a lean body stood up from his seat and walked to the front of the rostrum, and said in his deep voice: "Citizens, welcome everyone to participate in the mecha discussion meeting, first of all, the second vice chairman of the Science and Technology Committee of the Eighth District of the Alliance, Borge Gert, delivered a speech. ”

Judging by the cheers of the Saipan ladies from the side, a handsome man who might have looked like a Saipan man stepped up to the podium. I took a serious look at it from the perspective of standard aesthetics, and I really couldn't see that our respected Borgegert was there, and I could only think that the Saipan aesthetic gene might really be bad, or that Borgot was handsome on the inside, not on the outside.

Borgegt only said a few words when he came to the stage, and roughly talked about the importance of this mecha competition, and his responsibilities here, which were concise and to the point, and did not have any long words. This makes me feel good about this high-level person, you must know that many high-level people like to use flowery rhetoric to tell some very simple truths, which are not particularly acceptable. Soon, the main son, the vice president of the Star Machinery Association, Long Yuntai, came to the stage, his thick eyebrows and big eyes, deep eyes and high nose looked very heroic, and as soon as he came to the stage, he attracted the voice of the ball lady, and the handsome guy was popular at any time. But I also saw the blank looks of some of the Sabbaine ladies.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Today, I'm talking about the flaws of mecha weapons and ideas for improvement! The mech's armament is equipped with a laser gun as standard, and the laser gun is limited to 0.5 seconds between firing at the outskirts of Grayton, which makes its single-machine firepower density insufficient. In battle, you can only rely on numerical superiority to win. Throughout the historical process of weapon development, in the era of firearms, one person and one machine gun could block many people, because machine guns can fire continuously, and the density of fire is strong enough. Now, it is impossible for one machine and one gun to stop even three mechas. We are now initially considering two options, one is to make the mecha larger, so that it has enough volume to install a more powerful laser, which can reduce the restrictions on the outskirts of Grayton and increase the rate of fire. The initial rate of fire can reach 0.4 seconds per round, and two laser guns can be installed, so that the density of fire can reach 2.5 times the original. ”

Long Yuntai didn't bring any speeches, blurted out, but what he said was something that everyone usually discussed, he was the representative of the mecha strengthening theory, this party had long thought that it was a mecha anyway, and it should be made bigger, so that it could increase energy reserves and be more efficient. He looked around, the gymnasium was very quiet, and I don't know if everyone was touched by his point or didn't listen at all, there was no noise at all. Long Yuntai spoke again, it was nothing more than some old routines, and finally retreated amid the cheers of many earth-descended ladies.

Long Yuntai just went down, and immediately a tall, thin and capable man walked up to the stage. He looked sad, as if the sun had never shone on his body, and his whole face was very pale. I was wondering who this person was, Yun Hao leaned over and said, "This is the vice president of our Academy of Mechanical Sciences, called Gao De." ”

Gao De walked up to the stage, cleared the noise, and then said: "Colleagues, citizens. I think the current mecha is very problematic, and it has reached the point where it is inevitable to overhaul it, rather than making a small fuss. The biggest shortcoming of the current mecha is four words - flashy!"
