Chapter 340: Custom Mecha
Self-controlled navigation has been around since the beginning of human exploration of the universe, but it is fundamentally different from later autopilot.
In the early days, autonomous navigation relied on pre-programmed programs, but now autonomous navigation relies on artificial intelligence for real-time control.
The God of War system carried by these four experimental ships is different from the current use of artificial intelligence, and the driving technology it uses is completely from the best piloting among human beings, and the system can be highly integrated with the human brain, so that any ordinary person can control the ship like an experienced pilot.
Liu Yi clearly saw the flight of each ship through the main screen inside the four experimental ships, and saw that the four ships maintained a high speed, making complex flights around the base.
Tang Jie only needs to convey his intentions to the God of War system, and the rest of the things are completely left to the system to complete, Tang Jie doesn't have to care about the specific operation details, as long as he grasps the purpose he wants to achieve.
With this system, anyone can immediately become an experienced and skilled pilot, without having to go through a lot of study and practice to get a flight permit like a regular pilot.
Liu Yi watched Tang Jie make the four experimental ships make all kinds of dazzling movements, and at the same time, the four ships were also carrying out various cooperations, just like a few flying veterans were performing.
"Oh! It's amazing! It's hard to imagine that such a move can be done, and there is such a high speed! Liu Yi exclaimed: "Is there anything special about the engines of these ships?" ”
Tang Jie said with a relaxed face: "The engine is nothing special, the key is unmanned, if it is controlled by humans, it is not necessary to use this speed to carry out complex flights." ”
"I see!" Liu Yi said suddenly.
Then Tang Jie began to make the four experimental ships line up in various ways, and began to shoot with laser cannons as they flew, and the scene looked very gorgeous, just like the scene that only appears in the game.
Liu Yi exclaimed: "People will never be able to do this kind of attack, it's really amazing!" ”
"In fact, human beings can do it, the real obstacle is not daring, or because everyone thinks differently, everyone dares to carry out such a complex and dangerous operation." Tang Jie said.
"Now that I'm convinced, the God of War system is really powerful, I couldn't believe that such an operation and team cooperation could really be achieved before." Liu Yi said convincingly.
Tang Jie said: "These are the most basic applications, the biggest use is still on the warship, with the God of War system, the number of people necessary on the battleship can be reduced by nearly half, and a lot of work can be done by the God of War system." ”
"Can that really be the case?" Liu Yi was a little incomprehensible, so he asked: "The current warship also has an artificial intelligence system, why can the God of War system reduce so many necessary personnel on the ship?" ”
"Actually, it's not that the battleship is any different, and the number of personnel needed has not decreased much, but the real reason is that the work that everyone can do has increased compared to the original, which is equivalent to reducing the number of staff. The work that used to take 10 people can now be done by 5 people, so it can greatly reduce the number of workers. ”
"I see, I didn't expect this system to bring so many benefits!" Liu Yi said with great emotion.
"In the end, it's not that other technologies have advanced, it's that people have become more powerful than before, and that's the core of the God of War system." Tang Jie said proudly.
"Now that I fully understand, what else do you want to show me?" Liu Yi asked expectantly.
Tang Jie replied, "Of course, it's what we do best - mecha!" ”
"Well, I can't wait! Fly the experiment ship back and take me to see the mech! ”
"Wait, it's going to be right away!" Tang Jie said, clicked a few times on the console of the holographic projection, and then said to Liu Yi: "Okay, I'll hand over the experimental ships to the system to operate, and they will fly back by themselves." ”
"It's that simple?" Liu Yi asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, it's that simple." Tang Jie smiled: "This kind of programmed operation can be completely assured by handing it over to artificial intelligence." ”
After speaking, Tang Jie took the lead out of the control center, Liu Yi looked back at the screen, and found that the experimental ship was indeed flying back, so he hurriedly followed Tang Jie's footsteps.
Tang Jie led Liu Yi all the way to the mecha test area, and when the two passed through a long and tall passage, Liu Yi found that both sides of the passage were full of tall comprehensive maintenance stands, and a mecha was being assembled on each shelf.
"What are these? Mechs in development? Liu Yi asked curiously.
Tang Jie said without looking back: "These are all prototypes designed by my doppelganger system, and the whole process from design to manufacturing is completed by artificial intelligence." ”
Liu Yi was taken aback when he heard Tang Jie's words, and pointed to those half-finished mechas: "These...... All of them? It's all designed by AI itself? ”
"That's right! I wanted to see what kind of product the AI would design, so I didn't interfere with it from start to finish. ”
"Is this really going to work?" Liu Yi said suspiciously: "Artificial intelligence doesn't know why humans fight. ”
"Try it, maybe it's a surprise, maybe it won't work at all, but it's fun, isn't it?" Tang Jie said with a smile.
"Perhaps......"
Soon, the two of them arrived at the mecha proving ground, which appeared to be a huge vertical cylinder, facing a huge water storage device.
The test site is surrounded by extremely strong materials to prevent damage to other facilities in the event of an accident during the test. Through various screens along the way, Liu Yi can clearly see the situation in the test site.
I saw that there were many mechs in the test site that were being tested, and the huge space allowed the mecha to conduct various combat tests inside.
Liu Yi found that many of these mecha being tested were unprecedented, fortunately, some of them were very strange in shape, not at all like mecha in the ordinary sense.
"What kind of mech is that? How does it look weird? Liu Yi asked, pointing to a strange body that looked like a beetle.
Tang Jie looked like he wanted to say something, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "That...... In fact...... It is still in the research and development stage, and it needs to be kept secret for the time being. ”
Seeing that Tang Jie refused to speak, Liu Yi didn't force her, but the curiosity in his heart was still very strong, so he asked, "Why is the appearance of this mecha so strange, much stranger than all the previous mechas?" ”
"It doesn't matter what it looks like, you'll know what it is later." Tang Jie still refused to reveal the slightest bit of information.
Liu Yi had no choice but to suppress his curiosity, followed Tang Jie to the locker room, and the two changed into mecha combat uniforms and put on helmets used in space, and then walked towards the ventilation cabin.
After the ventilation chamber, the two finally entered the interior of the test site, the environment here is the same as space, it is also a vacuum and no gravity, but the temperature is still kept at room temperature, otherwise it is difficult for the staff to stay in it for a long time.
As soon as the people who were working at the test site saw Tang Jie coming, they immediately gathered around, and when everyone got closer, they found that Liu Yi was also there.
Everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly saluted, and Liu Yi smiled, so that everyone didn't have to be restrained, and they could do whatever they wanted.
At this time, a brand-new mecha slowly leaned over, and saw the cockpit canopy slowly open, and the pilot came out of it, waving at Liu Yi and Tang Jie again and again.
At the same time, Ke Rin's voice came from the two of them's headphones: "Yo! You're coming! ”
Liu Yi hadn't seen Shangguanqi and Ke Rin for a long time, and these two had stayed at the Bingfeng base for more than a year to help Tang Jie with research and development.
Although Liu Yi asked them to go back to Yaqiu more than once, the two seemed to be happy to stay here and didn't want to go back at all. Now seeing so many new mechs, Liu Yi finally knows why they don't want to go back, with these mechas, even ten cows don't want to pull them away.
Ke Rin used his foot to use a little mecha, and with the help of the reaction force, he floated towards Liu Yi and Tang Jie, "Lord Governor, what do you think of this mecha?" Isn't it super powerful? Kirin asked jokingly.
Liu Yi then observed the mecha attentively, only to see that this mecha had not been painted yet, and the entire body was metallic silver-white, but the appearance was indeed as Ke Rin said, it looked quite powerful and handsome.
"What's this mech called?" Liu Yi asked Tang Jie.
"It's not named yet, it's codenamed XT-036, it's a special custom mecha." Tang Jie explained.
Liu Yiqi said: "Customized mecha? So, this is a mecha designed specifically for Kirin? ”
"Hey...... That's right! Ke Rin interjected, "This mecha is a special mecha specially built for me, a unique mecha in the world. ”
As Ke Rin spoke, he was already dancing excitedly, looking very excited about this mecha.
"When did our factory start producing this kind of dedicated custom machine?" Liu Yi spread his hands and asked, "Why don't I know anything about it?" ”
"Because now with the God of War system, excellent mecha pilots can control multiple mechs by one person, so the mecha for the pilot needs to be specially designed, so I began to try to produce some special custom mecha ......"
While listening to Tang Jie's explanation, Liu Yi looked at Ke Rin's special mecha with envy, and said secretly in his heart: "Since Ke Rin can have a special mecha, I might as well let Tang Jie design one for me." ”
Without waiting for Liu Yi to speak, Tang Jie seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and preemptively said, "Do you also want a special mecha?" ”
Liu Yixi said: "How do you know? If I could, of course I would like one too, after all, I am the owner of this place, and it makes sense to have a dedicated mecha. ”
