Chapter 184: Play with a ball

Gu Cheng naturally started brainstorming in his mind to try to perfect this idea.

In the rapidly changing hot battlefield, especially in the modern battlefield of systematic combat, the opportunity to get close to the enemy is actually very rare.

Even with the excellent mobility of the X-B185 combat vehicle, it can be unscrupulous in striking opponents who do not have integrated sea, land, air, space, electricity, and information operations.

However, if it encounters an adversary with integrated combat capabilities, it is not easy for the X-B185 tank to approach the opponent, and it is almost impossible to dodge the opponent's aerial reconnaissance aircraft, satellite reconnaissance, radar early warning and other means at the same time.

It is impossible for any single weapon to be absolutely invincible, and integrated joint operations will be the trend of future high-level warfare, and even if the weapon system becomes more and more advanced, it will further embody the power of integrated joint operations.

Beating up a minion is another matter.

……

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Cheng came to Tianqing Industry.

"Boss, are you looking for me?" Zhou Huang learned that Gu Cheng was looking for him, so he put down his work and came immediately.

Gu Cheng said: "The development of the second-generation exoskeleton power armor has basically come to an end, and now it has been finalized and started to be manufactured in large quantities. ”

"New mission?" Zhou Huang said curiously.

"Yes!" Gu Cheng nodded and threw the documents he brought to him: "This is the intelligence information given above, take a look." ”

Zhou Huang took the document, as a technical detective technology was born, and there were a lot of secrets in contact, there was only one briefing in it, a rough glance, Zhou Huang looked at Gu Cheng and said in surprise: "X-B185? The task given by the superiors is for us to develop a new set of equipment for this vehicle? ”

Gu Cheng snapped his fingers and came to the control console, and said with a smile: "So, I decided to play a ball against it." ”

"Playing with a ball?"

Zhou Huang was subconsciously stunned for a moment when he heard this, feeling unclear about his remarks.

Gu Cheng, who was on the control console, did not answer the other party, his hands danced quickly on the keyboard, establishing a general theoretical model framework. Zhou Huang also came to the side after reading the briefing, and did not disturb him, watching silently on the side.

After more than twenty minutes, Gu Cheng stopped: "Okay." Xiaoqing, visualize the model according to the data. ”

Xiaoqing: "Good master!"

Gu Cheng picked up a tablet control next to him, and Zhou Huang couldn't help but say, "Boss, what's the situation?" What do you mean by balls? ”

It's still a bit confusing.

Hearing this, Gu Cheng clicked on the tablet control for a while, and looked at Zhou Huang: "A design for X-B185 that adapts to a variety of terrains, and moves quickly and flexibly, thinking about it, there is nothing more suitable than an independent spherical geometry." ”

Xiaoqing: "Master, a 3D model has been built based on your data."

Hearing Xiaoqing's prompt voice, Gu Cheng temporarily ended the conversation with Zhou Huang and operated on the screen controlled by the tablet for a while.

After a while, Zhou Huang coincided with him, and turned his eyes to the main screen, Zhou Huang saw the three-dimensional model he had just established, and was immediately stunned and subconsciously said: "I'll go~~, it's really a ball!" ”

Xiaoqing: "Master, how can the ball weapon be so cute...... (灬°ω°灬)」

Gu Cheng clicked twice on the tablet control, and the 3D model sphere on the main screen was cut into three pieces, and the inner view was presented.

The two hemispherical modules on the outside are two independent weapon systems, and the "tire" ring hollow structure module in the middle is the drive, energy and cockpit, the middle module occupies 68% of the overall volume and 70% of the mass, and the whole looks like a large model of multi-layer composite ball bearings, which is to ensure that the driver of the internal cockpit does not have to follow the circle, otherwise the seconds will be fainted in the cockpit.

Only the outer bearing will drive the whole spherical body to maneuver at high speed during the rapid drive rotation, while there is a heavy pile module under the internal cockpit chassis, which plays a role in balancing and stabilizing the center of gravity downward.

The weapon modules on the left and right sides are also independent systems, each connected to the core module in the middle by a mandrel, if it is not independent, it will not be able to hit the target at high speed at all.

You have to stop to attack, so rigid Gu Cheng can't accept such a stupid design.

Zhou Huang also felt a little cute, glanced at the rough three-dimensional model, and after looking for a long time, he didn't find out how the driver inside looked at the road condition information outside, and immediately said this doubt.

The core module in the middle, the outer shaft, is to rotate at high speed to drive the entire sphere to move, which means that the driver of the internal cockpit cannot see the road conditions outside.

Because there is no vision.

"Stupid ——!"

Gu Cheng only gave him one word when he heard his question, and then added: "Could it be that you think that this equipment is equipped with a windshield?" Not to mention that this is impossible to do, even if it can be done, it will not be done, otherwise it will be the weakest point of the entire sphere, and the result I want is the shaping of the full defense armor structure. ”

"That'...... Oh!! I get it, just like bats, using the principle of echolocation. Zhou Huang, who realized it later, finally reacted, and only by using this means could he avoid weak armor and obtain information about the external environment at the same time.

However, Zhou Huang was only half right.

"Electromagnetic waves, to be exact." Gu Cheng corrected him and said: "If I want to suppress the mobility of the X-B185, my method is simple and rude, that is, it is more excellent than its flexibility, the maximum speed of the X-B185 is a quarter of the speed of sound, I let the ball roll to one-third of the speed of sound, and the spheroid body is really adapted to the all-terrain environment, rampage." ”

It is said that the invention of radar is based on the principle of bat echolocation, they emit a wave, then receive its reflected wave, and then calculate the time difference from transmission to reception, multiply the speed of the wave, and then divide by 2 to get the distance information of the emitting source object.

In the principle of measuring distance, sound waves and electromagnetic waves are the same, as long as it is a wave, it is possible to use it in this way, electromagnetic waves and ultrasonic waves are both waves.

As for whether it can actually be used in this way, it depends on the properties of the wave.

When the ultrasonic wave propagates in the air, the energy loss is very large, and the short distance can only be measured, if the distance is far away, the energy of the wave will be lost in large quantities or even completely lost, and the speed of the sound wave depends on the medium and temperature of propagation, and the environmental impact is too obvious, such as the thinness of the air, if the vacuum can not be propagated, it is natural that the ultrasonic echo positioning can not be used.

Electromagnetic waves are much less affected by the environment than sound waves, and the energy loss in the process of propagation is also very small, and the speed is also the speed of light, even if there is an error, it can be small to negligible.

Gu Cheng continued: "There is a need for a powerful computer system with powerful, efficient and super graphics processing capabilities, and then through the driver's head-up display helmet system wearing a HUD, the real-time simulated environment is presented. In this way, the external environment can be seen at a glance, just like driving a car. ”

Xiaoqing: "Master, you are really a super genius (?? ω??。 )ノ」

Zhou Huang said with a confused face: ", Xiaoqing, you are an AI, when did you become like this?" How can you be so good at licking? What have you been through? ”

Xiaoqing: "The devil knows what I've been through."

Gu Cheng's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said lightly: "Xiaoqing is just stating a fact. ”

Zhou Huang: "......"
