Su Zhao, who knew nothing about the outside world, was satisfied after drawing up a list of employees who needed help to get justice as the boss.

"How can I be so smart with my little head! To come up with such a genius idea! I'm a good boss who cares about my employees! When the time comes, can I ask Hela to help me change the protective mecha into a military one, and maybe install a few rapid-fire laser cannons? Hey"

Su Zhao, who thought of the mecha, was itching, and wanted to immediately enter the virtual training system to experience the military mobile battle armor.

Su Zhao has not never driven various mobile armors for civilian use, but this is the first time that a big girl has been in a sedan chair when he touches the mobile armor.

With the awe and expectation of one of the dream machines of the Federation men, the mobile battle armor, Su Zhao still took out the patience to carefully read the course instructions about the mobile war armor in the system, and the first place was "The Development History of the Federation Mecha", and slowly explained the ins and outs of the mobile war armor to Su Zhao.

The Federation now has a very mature mecha technology, the full name is mobile external armor for crew, and its research and development history can be traced back to the early days of the Federation civilization when it was still on the home planet of mankind, and the mobile warframe, one of the mobile armor categories, was deployed on a large scale as one of the conventional weapons in the frontal battlefield of the Federation until the war with the Vecka civilization.

The earliest prototype mobile armor appeared as an image of engineering equipment, with the same functional positioning as an excavator, as a vehicle for engineering construction personnel to improve the safety index and enhance the work ability.

At that time, the operation method was still simple manual joystick with automatic program assistance, and large engineering mechs with enough space could choose real-time motion capture by personnel.

There is also a remote control model that can be used on the construction site where conditions permit, so as to save the occupant carrying space to accommodate other equipment, and the operator is safer to stay away from the construction site.

For a long time after that, the main role of the mecha was to be used as an excellent fixed engineering equipment on the construction site, but it still faced the following problems when it became a frontal battlefield weapon of the Federation such as a mobile battle armor and was officially put into large-scale use.

The first point is the operation delay, the humanoid mecha's activity mode is destined to be complex in operation, even if the joystick operation method is equipped with a large number of automatic program instructions, it is also a test of the operator's technical level, the operator's brain response plus the operation process and the instruction output and the final equipment action add up to a not short operation delay.

The latency of the motion capture operation method is much lower, although the crew space requirements are a little larger, and the mecha is made up for by making it larger.

The action is indeed directly converted into signals, but there is also the nerve transmission and muscle action time of the operator, and the physical level of the operator is also very tested.

However, such a delay is already a minor problem, and the delay is within the acceptable range.

Other problems are the fatal obstacles.

The second point is energy supply, and the construction site is directly connected to the cable to supply power to the engineering mecha, because of the large power consumption. Fixed use anyway, there is a fusion unit power supply, so what is the impact, not a large power consumer, anyway, the fusion unit generates the same electricity as no money.

However, when it is applied on the battlefield, because the energy consumption of the upright humanoid mecha is much higher than that of the same quality land combat firepower unit, and it can even be an order of magnitude higher than the energy consumption ratio disadvantage, even if it is equipped with self-powered equipment, it cannot make up for it. One mecha consumes enough for ten land tanks, and the army's precious energy is not used in this way when it is full.

In short, the mobile warframe equipped with the weapon system requires a strong energy supply, but the size and structure limit the range of energy supply equipment that can be carried, such as the huge fusion unit, which is generally used by warships and bases.

The third point is the decisive structural defect, and the engineering mecha is basically stupid and coarse to avoid this.

The Mobile Warframe certainly can't be as bulky as the engineering side, and what it needs to be combat is the flexibility of its humanoid form. This is the single and most important battlefield advantage of the Mobile Warframe.

Its structure is only one battlefield advantage, and the rest is all disadvantages.

First of all, high flexibility means complex structures, which are a huge disadvantage compared to self-propelled fire fortresses of the same quality, such as tanks. The complex structure brings a series of problems, such as difficult maintenance, small effective space, weak anti-strike ability, etc., simply put, it is poor practicability, not as durable as tank leather.

In terms of machinery, for example, the structure of walking on two legs is complex and inefficient, not to mention that it also carries the full weight of the mecha, and dozens or hundreds of tons of metal are impacting the movable joints such as knees and ankles every time you walk, so it is difficult to maintain them.

Secondly, a loss of balance and a fall may damage these joint parts, and if you fall on the battlefield, you can really only climb. Not to mention that the kinetic energy shells on the battlefield fly together, the high-energy particles dance wildly, and they will lie on their stomachs as soon as they hit the joint, no matter how thick the armor is, it is useless, and the ability to resist strikes can be described as weak.

The small effective space is due to the existence of head and limb structures, which not only occupy most of the mecha space, but also divide the already small effective space, and their own mass is the source of load for the movable joints.

Taken together, the energy, power, and weapon systems that can be carried by mecha tanks have shrunk in an all-round way, and the legs are not as fast as tracked tanks, not to mention ground-effect tanks that can fly close to the ground, and even break their legs.

"Oh my God, running and breaking a leg, this is the history of mecha development written by a genius, but I've really heard of running and breaking a leg, it turns out that the mecha had this problem a long time ago, I thought it was an accident."

Su Zhao was reminded of a broken leg by a sentence, and remembered that there was such a legend in his hometown about a mecha running and breaking his leg. However, he quickly turned his attention back to the books.

The firepower of the tank is completely the younger brother, the same weight, the tank can be equipped with a large-caliber self-loading kinetic energy gun, and the mecha can only be a small-caliber one, and its body cannot withstand the recoil when the caliber is large. The bomb space is even more insufficient, but some ghosts have designed to let the mecha charge shell hang on the head and manually reload, because of the problem of martyrdom, it was stopped by a colleague.

The endurance of the airframe limits the caliber of the charge gun, and the shrinking energy supply system limits the power it can carry high-energy weapons.

The conventional laser cannon is OK, and the high-power model is enough to choke, and it may run out of power after a few shots. Not to mention the mecha of the high-power electromagnetic gun, the tank is enough to choke.

In short, it is true that a weapon that can adjust the power can be carried, but if the power is low, the cannon will become a gun, and in the face of heavy armor, it is an itch.

As for the neutron heavy artillery, cation cannon, antimatter light cannon and other mass killing weapons are exclusive weapons for warships and bases, and the volume and energy supply requirements are not something that mechs can consider.

Anyway, the long-range fire weapon system that the mecha can carry can be installed in the tank, and it is more powerful and has a longer endurance; And the tank can be loaded, but the mecha brother may not be able to.

In the end, the mechs can't fly.

Flight functions are too much of a luxury for the mech's meagre effective space, and some people have designed the mech's flight system, including about a dozen thrusters, a complex flight attitude control system, several independent fuel storage and delivery systems, vent cooling systems, and so on.

But no one bought for his design, and he didn't make a penny from more than ten years of research and development, and he was directly on the verge of bankruptcy.

Someone told him a very simple truth, the overlord of surface flight is a fighter, and the overlord of space flight is a battleship, and if it is built in this way, it can only be a flying target.

So, he simplified the research results and turned them into flight systems for warplanes and small warships.

As a result, the flight system developed was simple and efficient, and the maneuverability was strong, and I directly won the honor of the Federal Star for fame and fortune.

His system is used by many warplanes and small starships, which is now the classic QXS integrated flight system of the Federation.

"Huh? I remember that Sirius's flight system was TLB-451-QXS, which should have been developed based on this system, and the joint predecessor was also related to the flight system of the mecha. Knowledge points, quickly write them down, and say that they will be tested at the end of the schedule. ”

Su Zhao, who was seriously reading the history of mecha development, seemed to have returned to his student days, and subconsciously wanted to take a note, but when he was looking for a pen, he suddenly came back to his senses and remembered his situation, laughed dryly twice and continued to read.

"If only there was a final exam, I miss it."

……

The book continues from the above, the mecha can't fly, and there is no need to fly, just leave it to the transport plane and the starship, this is the solution for the federal scientists to fly.

As a result of these shortcomings, the development of all large mobile warframe weapons was largely abandoned before the Vaika War, and only a few specific prototypes entered service for tasks such as base defense.

After a long period of time, the Federation finally found the positioning of the mobile warframe, and no longer faced weapons units such as tanks.

Rather, it specializes in defense, as a simple personnel protection vehicle, rather than a battlefield weapon, and the real result of the research is the individual protective mobile armor that the Federation is proud of.

This kind of mecha is characterized by miniaturization, and the upright height is basically less than 5 meters, which can be regarded as individual armor with a power system, which greatly increases the battlefield survival and sustained combat ability of individual soldiers.

The operation mode is basically a direct action connection, a small one to provide auxiliary power for personnel, a large one to provide a special personnel warehouse, and the driver is equivalent to wearing armor with a power system.

Individual mecha has the advantages of low cost, easy production, reliable performance, etc., and the small size energy consumption makes it easy to cope with high-energy batteries, which is popularized to every soldier in the Federation, and various improved models are all over the federal territory.

The above is the history of the development of federal mecha technology nearly two hundred years ago, and the term mobile armor before that basically refers to individual protective armor, the role of which is personnel protection, and there is only a negligible part of the weapon.

Later, the transformation of mobile warframes into weapon attributes occurred during the War between the Federation and the Vecka, and this war, officially named after the Federation, is:

"The Battle of the Silver Heart".

Su Zhao, who read the first chapter of the book on the history of mecha development in one breath, stretched his waist and breathed a long sigh of relief. I didn't expect this book to be so long before I read it, and the second chapter is still a well-known battle of the Silver Heart among the people of the Federation.

It's just that the galaxy is too big, and as a person who grew up and lived in the rear of the Federation, I have never felt the atmosphere of war, and I know that the Battle of the Silver Heart is that the Federation and the Veca civilization have been fighting for almost 180 years, and the other textbook knowledge is basically forgotten.

Several of the large rear sectors are also very anti-war, and the Council of Archons of the Star Sector has largely ignored the war except for providing technical and nominal support. Again, the Milky Way is too big, and it will take decades for the rear star to reach the war zone, not to mention the support of materials and personnel; The Federation is also too big, and each sector is actually relatively independent, and it is already a support for the war if it does not lag behind.

Moreover, so far, the Veica civilization has not bypassed the warring star sector to invade the federal area, and the federation has tacitly not carried out a counterattack on the opponent's homeland.

The specific reason for Su Zhao is unknown, but the scholar's speculation is that the distance is simply long, and the tens of thousands of light years of moat and the local situation of the other party with black eyes have restrained this tactic of both sides.

"I'm tired, I'm about to land on Bai Zexing, I originally wanted to have a physical examination of my armor, but I was delayed by this book. Let's watch it when I have time after the Battle of Silverhearts, and go get down to business first. ”

"Little Hela! I'm back! Aren't you ready to land? ”

Su Zhao didn't get any response in the bridge, so he could only scratch his ears and cheeks suspiciously:

"What's the matter? Hela is missing? ”
