"Attention, attention, Experiment 7, you're too fast, slow down now!"

"If there is an obstacle ahead, turn immediately!"

"Boom!" With a loud bang, a flame lit up the dark space, and a large number of debris flew in all directions, drowning in the vast darkness in an instant.

"Damn! Failed again! The experimenters all hugged their heads and sighed.

Fortunately, the body used in the experiment was unmanned, otherwise the accident just now would have cost the life of a mecha pilot.

In order to develop a long-distance vehicle that can be used by mechs, many such experiments have been carried out, but the desired results have never been achieved.

Most of the people involved in the design and experiment are senior technicians transferred from the Bingfeng base, and under the leadership of Tang Jie, they have started this work since three months ago, and there have been more than ten products that have been experimented, but there are still many technical problems that are difficult to overcome.

Tang Jie looked at the various data that had just been fed back, and shook his head and said: "This is not good at all, although the speed of No. 7 is fast enough, but the flexibility is too poor, and it is difficult to turn in time when encountering complex situations, this design still doesn't work." ”

When everyone heard this, they all showed deflated expressions, during this time they worked day and night, but they were still far from the goal, and they had done more than a dozen test bodies before and after, none of which could be satisfied.

Now that the test body has been directly destroyed, and everything has to be done all over again, how can this not be discouraged?

Tang Jie also knew that everyone was working hard, but since this matter had fallen on her, she had to do it no matter what, otherwise she would not have lived up to her reputation as a genius.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard, let's have a good rest when we return to the design office, and we will meet again to discuss the plan when we return to the design office." Tang Jie said to everyone.

"Yes, sir!" Experimenter Dozens replied listlessly.

After disbanding everyone, Tang Jie returned to his cabin, reopened the previous design materials, and re-examined every detail of the design, trying to find the key to the problem.

In the final analysis, the aircraft required by Liu Yi must be small enough, but the power is large enough, and it must also be convenient and flexible to operate, otherwise it will not be able to achieve the purpose of design.

However, there are many contradictions between these requirements and today's technology, such as power and size, the absence of small, powerful engines, and the fact that energy must be used for a long time, which is unreasonable.

It was already three days after returning to Lan Shengxing from the airspace where the experiment was conducted, and as soon as he landed, Tang Jie hurried back to the research institute and began to work on a new design.

This time, Tang Jie abandoned all previous designs and chose a completely different way of thinking, completely overturning the original idea of trying to transform it on the basis of the assault ship.

The function of the assault ship is to quickly send the mecha to a place close to the target in a short time, and the flexibility is very poor, almost moving in a straight line, and such a design is difficult to meet the complex flight requirements.

Experiments have proved that this idea is not feasible, and in order to cope with complex flight requirements, the way of assault ships is too reluctant, and a new aircraft must be fundamentally designed.

Tang Jie referred to a lot of flying machines used today, and eventually she got a lot of inspiration from a kind of flying machine that was used on land.

It is a portable aircraft for land use, which is carried by the user behind the user's back and powered by several miniature jet engines, which can also be adjusted by the angle of the engine's jet ports.

Although this is only a portable land vehicle, the design idea is worth learning from, so that the two problems of power and flexibility can be solved at once.

After a few days of design and modification, Tang Jie finally came up with a very peculiar design, which looked completely different from all the common flying machines now.

The shape of this aircraft looks like a pair of huge wings, and the mecha can be easily connected to the aircraft, and when used, it is like a pair of large wings spread out from the back of the mecha.

Mech pilots can change the direction of flight by adjusting the angle of the wings as well as the wingspan, which is much more flexible than all previous designs.

More importantly, this time, Tang Jie did not try to cringe the powerful engine as before, but adopted a way of clustering multiple smaller engines, relying on many engines to provide powerful power, so that the flying equipment has good scalability.

Looking at his latest design, Tang Jie felt very satisfied, this way of thinking has solved many of the previous problems in one fell swoop, but there is still an important problem that has not yet been well solved.

To provide enough energy for so many engines, it takes a very powerful reactor to do it, and a miniaturized reactor obviously can't do it, but the reactor is too big to do, and the whole design will be out of tune.

In addition, there is the issue of sustainable time, and long-distance high-speed flight requires the reactor to be able to increase its energy for a long time, which is obviously not possible with ordinary micro-reactors.

Tang Jie is not an expert in this area, so he had to consult professionals in related fields, but most of them answered similarly, saying that this kind of thing could not be done at all.

Seeing that the people around her could not answer her questions, Tang Jie could only turn to the Internet, and she used her clone system to start searching for relevant information on the Internet, hoping to find a solution to the problem.

The hard work paid off, and with the help of artificial intelligence, Tang Jie finally found a design called "He Reactor" from a large amount of data.

This kind of reactor is not actually a new product, it has appeared more than ten years ago, but it is not widely used, so few people know about its existence.

The reason why this kind of reactor is difficult to promote is precisely because its volume and power are not in line with the general market demand, so it is difficult to be widely used.

To put it simply, the size of this reactor is not too big, but it is too small for use on ships and too large for mechas, so it is difficult to be promoted.

However, the shortcomings of He's reactor are precisely its advantages here in Tang Jie, according to the data, such a reactor is just right for the aircraft, which can provide lasting and strong energy, but also not too large in size, as long as it is transformed, it can be perfectly matched with the aircraft.

However, it was not easy to obtain such a reactor, because the scope of its use was not wide enough, and only one enterprise was still producing it, and this enterprise was not under the control of the Union, but in a hostile colony.

So Tang Jie came to discuss with Liu Yi to see if he could get this kind of reactor, who made Liu Yi promise that no matter what Tang Jie needed, he would meet it at any cost.

"I need this, I can get it in this company at the moment, you can help me figure it out." Tang Jie sat opposite Liu Yi and sent the relevant information.

Liu Yi opened the information and looked at it, and immediately frowned, and said, "Do you have to use this?" It's not going to be easy......"

"Then I don't care, the reactor of the chief is a must!" Tang Jie said very strongly: "Don't forget, you promised that no matter what you need, you will definitely give your full support." ”

Liu Yi smiled bitterly: "I know, but this enterprise is in a hostile military alliance, how can you let me get it for a while?" ”

"Aren't you going to think of a way to buy it from the black market? Or find a few smugglers and let them do it, as long as they spend more money, can they still not get it? Tang Jie said.

"Okay, I'd like to figure out how many of these reactors do you need?" Liu Yi asked.

"The more the merrier, at least about ten." Tang Jie stretched out his two hands and said.

"Got it, I'll send someone to figure out a way right away, you wait for my good news." Liu Yi said with a smile.

"In addition, I also need a company that produces reactors, and when this reactor is bought back, I need someone to make more copies for me."

"Okay! I immediately found someone to coordinate, which was much easier. ”

"That's good, your attitude is okay today, come to my villa in the evening, and I'll reward you well." Tang Jie said with a smile.

"Got it, I'll go as soon as I'm done with what I'm doing!" Liu Yi said emotionally.

As the saying goes, it's easy to do things with money! Stimulated by Liu Yi's heavy money, the smuggling syndicates that cooperated with the Colonization and Allian Federation took action one after another, buying He's reactor from various channels, and the price of this little-known thing rose continuously.

The companies that produce this kind of reactor also don't understand how this reactor can have a lot of demand at once, and it is because of sudden good luck.

A month later, more than 20 He's reactors were sent to Tang Jie's research institute, which was already all the quantities available on the market.

With the reactor in place, and the modified engine has been completed, Tang Jie led the researchers to officially start building a new testing machine.

Although the design is simpler than some of the previous test bodies, the difficulty of manufacturing is not small, especially the wings, which require many miniature engines to arrange on them and flexibly control them, which is not something that can be solved in a sentence or two.

It took nearly two months for the first test body to be built, and although it was still very rudimentary, it was finally ready for experiments.

Tang Jie led the research team to conduct flight experiments in space first, and the results can be said to be very good. Although there are still many problems, the major problems that have plagued you before have finally been solved, and all that remains is how to optimize it to make it more accurate and perfect.
