Chapter 44: Mecha 2
One day, Hao Yun followed Maggie to tinker, knock and beat, and finally got a general understanding of the general structure of the mecha in Vidney's native world.
An AC is divided into several modular components.
The first is the head, the highest part of the AC, which mainly integrates the on-board computer and visual camera. The lens, surrounded by thick armor, is mainly aimed at visible and infrared imaging, and the image signal is connected to the screen in the cockpit through a universal data slot.
The on-board computer has several key features, including balance calculation performance, lens performance, scanning algorithm performance, and anti-interference performance.
The attitude control of the AC machine is provided by inertial feedback components throughout the body to provide real-time data, which is realized by the balance calculation of the on-board computer. As the pilot makes a variety of large maneuvers in the cockpit, the attitude control system assigns weights, adjusting the vector nozzle angle of the main jet and the output of the auxiliary nozzles at more than a dozen key points around the pilot. This allows the AC to be roughly balanced at high speeds.
It is important to know that AC is not a human body after all, and the balance can be automatically adjusted by the cerebellum. Even if you drive, you will fly out if you turn too fast, not to mention the AC in the heat of battle. If you don't have a posture control system, you might just be lying on your stomach with a rush.
Lens performance affects the visual performance of the cockpit screen and the image recognition performance of the on-board computer. In a strong-light, low-light, and lightless environment, the visual lens should quickly capture various details in the field of vision, and upload it to the on-board computer to analyze whether it is an enemy aircraft or a meaningless obstacle.
The scanning calculation performance is combined with the scanning mode of the fire control radar, and according to the feedback of the overload radar waves, the perspective environment of the entire battlefield is reconstructed with 3D lines, which is displayed on the screen in front of the pilot.
Anti-jamming performance part of electronic countermeasures, the fire control radar used by the AC is quite high, and both the powerful radar waves of the enemy aircraft and the local aircraft can damage the sensitive elements in the airframe.
That's why in addition to installing protective layers in sensitive areas, many advanced head components are equipped with active anti-jamming components. These components pick up the incoming radar wave and emit another modulated set of radar waves at its normal angle. Using the interference effect of waves, a large part of the electromagnetic pulse can be deflected, so that the electromagnetic sensitive components can have a relatively stable operating environment.
However, when the incoming electromagnetic radiation is too strong, it is still blind, and the JAM series produced by the Eternal Night Star Group is a specialized weapon in this area.
Take the JAM-DL302 as an example, this electromagnetic ** gun has a range of up to two thousand yards. In this range, the gun AC can calmly arrange 8 (one egg clip) JAM plasma retained ammunition. These semi-stable plasma clusters continue to emit violent electromagnetic radiation for 12 seconds, and all electronic components exposed within a radius of 50 meters will burn out in less than a second.
Underneath the head, inlaid with a place that resembles a human cervical vertebrae, is a fire control radar with two modes of operation. The first is the fire control mode, which can be guided to lock on to enemy aircraft based on fire control radar signals. The most important role is to guide shoulder-borne island shells, and it can also greatly modify the crosshair of live weapons at close range.
The second mode is the scanning mode, in which the AC's visual imaging system will be greatly enhanced, the detection range will be multiplied, and even enemy aircraft hidden behind buildings can be captured.
However, at this time, the power furnace will supply most of the energy to the radar antenna, and the AC machine can only do conventional maneuvering. Moreover, an overloaded radar system can seriously interfere with the fire control system, at which point all weapons can only be put on standby offline.
It can be said that it is still quite dangerous, and it is generally only used to cooperate with the probe to collect battlefield data before receiving fire. However, the two modes are very quick to switch, and it is not completely impossible to play in battle.
The key features of the fire control radar are the lock range, lock distance, lock calculation speed, lock number and wingman support number.
The lock-on range is actually the radar lock-on frame on the pilot's helmet-mounted sight, and the larger the box, the easier it is to lock onto enemy aircraft. Of course, this is not a problem with the screen display, and it does not mean that you can make as big a lock box as you want. This involves the recognition performance of the lens and the feedback performance of the radar.
The lock-on speed is how long it takes to complete the fire control and aiming after the enemy aircraft is in the frame, and it also affects the response speed of the radar warning aircraft. These are of course the sooner the better. The AC has a better range of maneuvers than fighter air combat, and if you lock on for more than a second, you will basically lose.
Of course, the pilot can also choose to be completely manual, turn off the automatic fire control system of the weapon, aim with the naked eye, and calculate the advance with the brain.
The operation of pretending to be B like this,Of course, you can also do it.,For example, Kira Yamato who exploded a kind.。 Another example is the little white soft girl we are familiar with, who is talking to a good Ji friend.
When Xiaobai connects to the tactical center of the Plantagenet in Sisi form, he can guide 100,000 ship-based weapons of all kinds at the same time. As mentioned earlier, Xiaobai is a serious weapon master, is your understanding of weapons only staying on the street lamp?
The number of locks, which is actually the number of datalink channels. Generally speaking, AC operations are heads-up, and one-to-many situations rarely occur, so most AC fire control radars only have one datalink channel. After all, this thing, one more, the entire airborne calculation performance needs to be doubled, and the number of multiple locks is a bit too extravagant.
The exception to this is shoulder loading, where many new-generation fire control radars provide an additional fire control channel. Because it comes with a locking radar, the calculation resource requirements for airborne fire control are low. Moreover, the shoulder-loaded ** compartment generally carries dozens of bombs, and one shot at a time, I am afraid that the entire bomb bay will not be emptied after the exchange of fire.
The number of wingmen supported, this needs to be mentioned. This system primarily serves radar probes, or autonomous weapons, which share a chest gnaku and cannot coexist.
Radar probes mainly make up for the lack of radar detection capabilities, and many ACs will carry 2-4 radar probes in the chest gnaku.
Take the STK-16/ER produced by Fanid's War Hummingbird as an example, this pillow-sized probe can fly to a designated location within 14 kilometers and take place.
Due to their small size and specially camouflaged design, these hummingbirds have excellent battlefield survivability. They can operate for at least 180 seconds with the support of batteries, accurately capturing battlefield information within a radius of 500 meters.
The detection data will be transmitted to the AC by directional laser through an encrypted signal, so it is not safe from being captured or destroyed by enemy aircraft.
When the local AC is fighting in the detection range, the STK-16/ER can also cooperate with the host radar to assist in scanning, and the locking efficiency can be significantly improved.
Therefore, many experienced pilots will not fire all the radar probes at once, and will keep one in the gnac and save it for the enemy aircraft to face each other before hitting it, which can improve the odds of victory by a large margin.
Compared to radar probes, there are almost no autonomic weapons for the Organiser. Although it is really handsome to fly with 4 KO3-K2 wingmen, these floating rapid-fire machine guns are not good in terms of firepower, endurance, and even price, and will consume a lot of local calculation resources, which can be said to be more than worth the loss.
Unless it is the second ancestor who burned the bun in order to flirt with his sister or flirt with the man, people don't even have fuel in their hearts, let alone a few self-disciplined wingmen.
Right in the middle of the entire AC is the thoracic member.
The chest component is functionally quite simple, mainly providing standard slots for various other components, weapons, power stoves and radiators, and serving as a connection to the combat elements.
After the signing of the AC standard framework agreement between the three major groups of Eternal Night Star, Fanidi and Jiayuan Group, there will be no more incompatible components and cannot be accessed.
After three generations, the chest members all use universal slots, which can theoretically be used with any equipment of the three major groups at will.
It's just that universality is one thing, practicality is another. Differing design priorities can lead to performance conflicts. According to the tactical requirements, the selection of different components for running-in and debugging to maximize combat performance is the main job of the AC mechanics in this world.
The cockpit is embedded in the interior of the chest member, and the cockpit can be ejected and escaped with the pilot in the most urgent situation. The AC in the world of Widney is worth a lot of money, but the pilots on the other hand are a lot of them. Therefore, the battle is mainly to destroy the enemy AC, and except for the deep hatred, no one will be interested in killing the escape canny.
As for capturing AC on the battlefield, it was an almost impossible task. The two ACs are extremely dangerous when they are close to each other, even if the whole weapon system goes offline and the host radar goes down, just one shot from the impact armor can instantly reverse the victory and defeat.
Underneath the cockpit is the power furnace, which is actually a bit of a misnomer. In fact, the AC of Widney World uses a dual-power structure.
The first is a power furnace, which is actually a cold nuclear fusion reactor, in which four hydrogen atoms in a magnetocurrent ring fuse into a helium atom, and the released heat is converted in a heat engine to form an abundant power supply to the fighting elements.
However, abundance is also relatively speaking, and the electrical energy provided by the on-board power furnace cannot be converted into kinetic energy that supports AC to make high-speed charges, evasions, or even short-term suspension through the mechanical structure. Powered purely by electricity, the AC can only make some low-speed jogging movements.
This is the main flaw of the first generation of ACs, although they have a lot of weapon loads, they can even cross many terrain obstacles. But they are no more practical than traditional tanks.
A few shots of a tank's main gun can still damage an AC, and the cost of the two is simply worlds apart.
After decades of long-term research, the two-stage power scheme of power furnace and injector was finally launched on the second generation of AC launched by the Executive Committee of Eternal Nightstar.
On the basis of retaining the cold nuclear power furnace, the power scheme adds a main injector to the AC waist, which is actually an injection engine. In this way, the power furnace is responsible for the general power supply of the AC, while the injector is only responsible for providing the AC with instantaneous high-speed performance.
The second-generation AC equipped with a dual-power system shines on the battlefield. With the radar warning machine, the AC locked by the heavy artillery can instantly start the jet speed change, and do a maneuver close to 100 meters in a straight line in one second, and even fly for a short time.
This is already beyond the capabilities of traditional heavy weapons.
Since then, AC has officially become the king of war in this world.
