It's just that the restrictions on IA by the governments of various countries have been relaxed to a certain extent because of the emergence of professional clubs, but strictly speaking, the IA machinery in all clubs, especially the core mechanical components, is only three generations of products declassified by the military more than ten years ago.

According to the military's division of the IA mechanical system, most of the countries in the world are equipped with IA machinery is generally three generations of products, and the large-scale installation of the fourth generation of products can only be exclusive to superpowers such as China, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union.

It's just that although the internal core of IA in professional clubs belongs to the third-generation IA products, in terms of the theoretical parameters after modification, it is even higher than the third-generation IA of the military.

However, in terms of the equipment level of weapons, not to mention reaching the standards of the second-generation IA, even the firepower of the first-generation IA is actually completely unreachable, although it has a certain conventional thermal weapon, but whether it is the energy release index or the extreme destructive power that can be caused, and even the most basic shooting caliber, there is a world of difference from the weapons equipped by the military.

After all, the military's weapons are designed to kill or even kill with one blow and destroy the enemy's fortifications, and the reason why competition is competition is still to ensure the safety of professional players.

Therefore, with a third-generation core protection mechanism, IA often has a defensive IA on the field, even if it is attacked by the opponent dozens of times, as long as it does not hit the vital part, it will not lose its combat effectiveness instantly, even if it is the offensive IA with the weakest defensive ability, then it can also ensure its own safety to a certain extent, plus the assistance of teammates in the team game, so that the game can be full of unpredictable variables.

With the IA system and enough professional players, is it the whole core of a club?

Of course not, maybe those professional players who fight in the arena are more glamorous, but every fan and viewer knows in their hearts that there is a profession that is far more glamorous than these professional players, and this profession is the mechanic that all IA depends on to survive.

Even in many clubs, the value of the chief IA mechanic is higher than that of the ace player, and this is why Hu Xiaopeng thinks that Mu Qing is joking to give him the treatment of the chief mechanic.

The status of the mechanic in the club is extremely high, because it is the mechanic who gives IA a more perfect mechanical form, just like the IA machinery when the alliance was first established, all of which are composed of retired standard products of the military, whether it is the mechanical structure or the power and fire control system of the original energy machine, it is a completely unified form.

How to enhance the IA machine, how to transform the various IA machines into the operator's habits, and even give a completely new form to the IA machine, all change because of the presence of the mechanic.

A defensive IA machine with heavy armor, an offensive IA machine with ultra-high mobility, a firepower IA machine with a very long attack range, a support IA machine with quick repair capabilities, and even an air combat IA machine that can temporarily use low-altitude flight capabilities.

These mechanical variations of IA are the work of various mechanics, and over the decades of the professional league, the mechanics' abilities for IA have been improved and developed, and various ideas have been added to many types of IA.

For example, adding a silent stealth system to the offensive IA can not only attack head-on, but also have the ability to stealthily assassinate, such as adding a jamming radar system to the long-range fire IA, so that it can not only better lock the enemy's position, but even temporarily interfere with the enemy's communications, etc.

According to incomplete statistics, since the development of the professional league, there have been at least thousands of variants of IA machinery, although many types of IA have been gradually eliminated or replaced.

But no matter how it develops, any type of variant will also be upgraded in the five basic prototypes of defense, offense, range, air combat, and support, and each club will also make different arrangements and proportions for different teams and different game content.

For example, in Mu Qing's WIN club, in addition to the five basic types of IA machines driven by the current official players, there is one defensive and one offensive IA, that is, a total of seven IA machines and drivers.

Of course, this is only the IA machinery driven by the official players in the external announcement, and as for the other backup IA machines in the club, naturally they did not appear in the official report.

At this time, Hu Xiaopeng was standing in front of a defensive IA that was more than five meters high, and the medium-sized Hu Xiaopeng was not even as tall as the legs of the IA in front of him, perhaps because the distance was too close, from the appearance, the red and black paint on the outside of the IA body was not bright, and even looked a little broken, but even so, the golden "WIN" logo on the IA chest armor was still very obvious.

"What? Any questions? ”

Seeing Hu Xiaopeng standing in front of this IA machine for a long time and not leaving, Mu Qing walked to Hu Xiaopeng's side and asked softly.

"No, there's no problem, it's the first time I saw the three generations of IA, and I was a little inexplicably excited."

Hu Xiaopeng was a little embarrassed, but he still answered Mu Qing's question, but when Mu Qing heard his words, he was obviously much surprised, and hurriedly asked.

"For the first time? How can it be? ”

"What's impossible? Do you think that I can buy this thing at the vegetable market? ”

"No, I mean, you've never been exposed to three generations of IA? Then how could you have ...... in that game"

At this time, Mu Qing really didn't understand Hu Xiaopeng, a person who could make professional clubs lose under his hands, how could he not have been in contact with the three generations of IA? You must know that although the third generation of IA and the second generation of IA seem to be only one generation apart, they are fundamentally different.

Because if the third generation of IA is a real IA machine, then the second generation of IA can only be regarded as a pseudo IA machine, and the first generation of IA, in the eyes of many people, can not be regarded as an IA machine.

This is not only the difference between the primordial machine, but also the difference in design concept, otherwise, the third generation of IA would not be able to become a conventional military force in many countries.

The first generation of IA machinery belongs to the humanoid armor structure, that is, the outer body is covered with a layer of metal armor, and the original energy machine is responsible for the power output and fire control of the armor, but this design has many drawbacks, first of all, the driver can not move inside the IA for a long time, whether it is drinking water or eating, or small things such as defecation, there is great inconvenience.

The biggest problem is that in battle, the driver is not easy to get out of trouble after the mechanical damage, but causes unnecessary casualties, even if it is its own mechanical failure, then it will become the enemy's bag because of the inability to move armor weighing hundreds of kilograms.

Therefore, the second-generation IA machine changed the previous humanoid armor structure to the cockpit mode for design, but because of the dead weight of several tons, neither the original energy machine nor the aggregated energy can effectively withstand long-term fierce battles.

In addition, both the defense capability and its own combat effectiveness are extremely weak, and this has led to the second-generation IA being eliminated by various countries after only being installed for more than ten years.
