Chapter 9: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
"This kind of operating system is so poor that it can't even play half of the performance, and at most it can only be used for engineering." Liu Yi said as he climbed out of the cockpit of the mech.
Shangguan Qi squatted on the maintenance platform next to the cockpit, took a sharp puff of his cigarette, and asked while puffing on the smoke, "In your opinion, can this system be done well?" If I hadn't done it, I wouldn't have been able to explain it to my clients. ”
Liu Yi shook his head and said, "This system definitely can't be done, it's really rubbish." The reseller of the mecha casually found an inexplicable system and installed it, which was simply foolish. ”
"Can you rewrite the code for the system?" Shangguan Qi asked again.
"You can write, but it will take a long time, can your customers wait?" Liu Yi asked rhetorically.
"No, he's going to pick it up next week, and he's only two weeks at most." Shangguan Qi scratched his head and said.
Liu Yi thought for a while and said, "That's it, you give me some time, let me think about whether there is any way." ”
"Okay then, you think slowly, I'll fix the rest of the mecha first."
After Shangguan Qi finished speaking, he took a few of his technicians to repair other parts of the mecha, and Liu Yi got back into the cockpit and watched the operation interface start to fiddle.
This mecha is a model that has been eliminated by the army, the Hunter 2 general-purpose type, according to the regulations of the army, all eliminated or scrapped mecha must dismantle the operating system and power core, and then send it to a special factory for disassembly.
However, some people will take advantage of special relationships to quietly get some obsolete mecha to the black market to exchange for money, so you can always see some military mecha that are officially banned in the people.
However, these mecha lack operating systems and power cores, and people who resell mecha often replace them with something else, such as the power core is replaced by the engine of a civilian mecha, and the operating system is even more varied, as long as the mecha can move, it is over.
This is the case with the mecha sent to Shangguan Qi to repair, the reseller casually installed a system, although the mecha can barely move, but there are often various inexplicable problems, so the customer requires that the system problem must be solved.
Liu Yi connects his pen computer to the mech, and then uses a code analysis tool to check it out, trying to figure out the problem.
After some analysis by artificial intelligence, Liu Yi almost screamed when he saw the results, it turned out that the system on the mecha was adapted from the system of the maintenance robot, which was simply a typical example of Zhang Guan Li Dai and random matching.
"These people are really ...... Can't you just be serious? Liu Yi shook his head and said to himself.
Liu Yi completely gave up, no matter how the current system is adapted, it is impossible to use it for mechas, and the complexity of the mecha system is far from comparable to ordinary robotic systems.
It is no wonder that the military regards the operating system of the mecha as one of the most important military secrets, and once the operating system of the mecha enters the civilian population, it will soon be able to transform many civilian mecha into powerful weapons.
Another important symbol that distinguishes military mecha from civilian mecha is the power core, which is much more advanced than civilian mecha, which also leads to a great difference in performance between the two.
If you really let military mechs and civilian mecha fight, a military mecha can easily kill several times or even dozens of times the number of civilian mechas.
Now the problem Liu Yi is facing is not only the mismatch between the operating system and the mecha, because the smugglers used the engine of an ordinary engineering mecha to replace the dismantled power core, which will inevitably lead to a large modification of the operating system, otherwise there will be all kinds of unpredictable compatibility problems.
The more Liu Yi thought about it, the more he felt that his thoughts were like a mess, there were too many problems to solve, and he didn't know how much time it would take to do it alone.
"How? What can I think of that I can't do? I don't know when Shangguan Qi came to the entrance of the cockpit again, stretched out his head and looked inside.
Liu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, Shangguan Qi was also a little deflated when he saw this, and complained: "This job is really not easy to do, it's all about smuggling mecha to make money, why is it so difficult to get to me?" ”
"How many years have people been doing it, and you're just on the road, so it's naturally very difficult." Liu Yi explained.
"Is there really no way?"
"Let me think again......"
It was already dark when I got back to the tavern, business was good for the day in the tavern, several tables were full of guests, and the room was full of bustling noise.
"How's the work?" Lao Wu asked as he poured Liu Yi a glass of cold beer.
Liu Yi didn't say a word, picked up the wine glass and took a big sip, the coolness of the beer penetrated all over the body, and it was so comfortable that Liu Yi wanted to cry out happily.
"Don't mention it, it's more complicated than I thought." Liu Yi sighed: "To be honest, I have rarely been exposed to these things before, and I only have some superficial understanding. Now to solve such a complex problem, I have a big head. ”
"Hehe, don't worry, just think of a way slowly." Lao Wu smiled and comforted Liu Yi.
Liu Yi shook his head and said, "How can it be so easy, I don't have a clue now." ”
"If you can't help it, you might as well ask others, didn't you have a lot of teachers and classmates before, maybe others will be able to do it. People, there will be times when you can't, so ask others more......" Lao Wu said casually, but his hands have been busy.
Liu Yi smiled and didn't speak, but Lao Wu's words were imprinted into his mind, and his thoughts began to move slowly.
When he was studying for a master's degree and a doctorate, Liu Yi has been following his mentor Yu Wensong to conduct research and development of interstellar defense systems, although it also involves some problems related to mechas, but Liu Yi's main direction of attack is not on this, but how to configure the overall defense through artificial intelligence systems.
At that time, in order to test the defense system, there were also some experiments using artificial intelligence to control mechas, and the military provided a set of mecha operating systems for testing to the project team.
This matter was just an inconspicuous matter at the time, and Liu Yi basically forgot about it afterwards, and at this time, after Lao Wu's reminder, Liu Yi unconsciously remembered.
"That system seems to be usable, but I don't know if there is a backup ...... the teacher" Liu Yi thought in his heart: "Just ask the teacher." ”
Thinking of this, Liu Yi opened the interface of the portable computer and found his mentor Yu Wensong from the contacts.
However, looking at the connection button of the interface, Liu Yi hesitated again and refused to press it.
When he was in school, Liu Yi used to be one of Yuwensong's most proud students, and Yuwensong also had high hopes for him, but because of a trivial matter, Liu Yi had to return to his hometown, and he couldn't even find a place to stay......
Liu Yi felt that he had really failed his mentor's hopes, but now he had to be cheeky to beg the teacher, which was really embarrassing.
"Forget it, just be cheeky and ask the teacher again, after all, only the teacher can help me at this time." Liu Yi felt a little fever on his face, but he gritted his teeth and pressed the connection button.
After a while, a video call window popped up on the interface, and the face of the teacher Yu Wensong appeared in the window.
"Oh, it's Liu Yi, you haven't contacted me for a long time, are you okay now?" Yu Wensong said with a smile.
Liu Yi barely squeezed out a smile, nodded to Yuwensong and said, "I'm okay, is the teacher okay lately......
After greeting the teacher and the student, Liu Yi regained the familiarity between him and the teacher, and many words came up one after another, but he didn't know where to start.
Yu Wensong seemed to see that Liu Yi had something on his mind, so he asked bluntly: "Liu Yi, do you need my help with something?" ”
Liu Yi chuckled in his heart and said secretly: "The teacher is really powerful, he can see through it at once." ”
"I really want to ask the teacher for help." Liu Yi blushed and said: "Here's the thing, I'm currently working in a company, and I need to use a previous testing system, I don't know if the teacher has a backup ......."
Liu Yi didn't tell Yu Wensong the truth, but made up a set of lies temporarily, Liu Yi didn't want the teacher to know that he was currently doing something illegal, which would only make the teacher feel embarrassed.
After listening to Liu Yi's request, Yu Wensong thought for a moment and replied: "You are talking about testing the system of the mecha, I remember that there seems to be a backup, you wait, I will look for it, and I will transmit it to you if I find it." ”
"Thank you, teacher!" Liu Yi didn't expect Yu Wensong to agree so happily, and he didn't even interrogate the details, which made Liu Yi, who had already made up a set of lies, overjoyed.
A few minutes later, Yu Wensong sent a file package to Liu Yi, and Liu Yi opened it to see that it was indeed the system that had been used to test the mecha.
Facing Liu Yi's repeated thanks, Yu Wensong just said lightly: "Liu Yi doesn't care what you do, as long as you are worthy of your conscience, you failed to enter the army, it is really a loss for the army, I hope you will not sink in the future." ”
Liu Yi felt that Yu Wensong seemed to have something in his words, but he couldn't grasp the deep meaning for a while, so he had to agree verbally first.
After ending the call with the teacher, Liu Yi was no longer in the mood to sit in the tavern and chat, so he hurriedly went to the attic, opened the code of the test system and began to look at it carefully.
"It's done! This system can be used on mechs, as long as you change it! When Liu Yi finished reading the code, he slapped his face excitedly and said.
At this time, a ray of sunlight shone in from the window and fell on Liu Yi's face, and Liu Yi realized that it was already bright outside, and he actually read the code all night.
"Oops! My back hurts! After a little movement, a sore pain came from his back, and Liu Yi couldn't help but scream.
Hearing Liu Yi's call, Lao Wu's voice came up from downstairs: "What, haven't you slept all night?" ”
Liu Yi replied excitedly: "I have thought of a way!" This time, I'm going to give it a steal and change the pillars! ”
