"It's too late at 3 o'clock, and it will be 5 o'clock at the earliest."

Barely controlling the desire to vomit, Professor Song wiped his somewhat messy white hair with his hand, and then added a little breathlessly. "For ...... In order to avoid federal inspectors, assembly times are strictly calculated. In order to ensure that the plan went smoothly, we only played 1 hour in advance. ”

"It's okay!"

Lucas seemed to have completely forgotten that he had just drunk the "human head soup", and casually raised his foot and kicked Director Cao's head to the corner of the wall, cutting it out categorically.

"Three o'clock!"

"Nope! 2 o'clock! If the attack is scheduled for the early hours of the morning, how many mechs can you provide? ”

......

After a little silence and calculation, Professor Song was a little embarrassed.

"This ......"

"The final modular assembly of the mecha is carried out in batches, in order to keep it secret and avoid the eyes and ears of federal surveillance. This kind of assembly work is not as you think, one is finished and then installed, but more than a dozen at the same time, so ......"

"No need to explain, just tell me the number!"

......

"Up to 200 units, it won't exceed that."

......

"If I transfer these mechs first at 3 o'clock, will it affect you to complete the assembly of the 304 mechs before 5 o'clock?"

......

"No, it's all done in batches, and one batch can be assembled at the same time......"

......

"No need to explain!" Lucas's words are still crisp and clear, but they are not at all polite. "Professor Song, soldiers are most afraid of delaying fighters. This matter is urgent, you can arrange it quickly! Please! ”

"Okay, I'll do it." Professor Song turned around and greeted the technicians who had not recovered from their discomfort, and hurriedly walked out of the banquet hall and melted into the night.

With Lucas's several orders to the arm-borne combat control aircraft, Baiyo's mechanized infantry battalion went directly from a state of readiness to combat mode. The five hundred mechs silently and quickly threw away the "nutritious supper" prepared for them by the Iron Horse Industry and began to assemble urgently.

......

......

The assembly warehouse is making final preparations before the raid, but due to artificial intelligence and automated production equipment, there are not many staff in the huge warehouse, and there is no very anxious atmosphere. This is in stark contrast to the thunderous lightning attack that will happen tomorrow.

On the way, they quietly killed a busy technician, and after putting on Du Feng's technician uniform as an iron horse, the two finally stabilized their rhythm. Tang Yun wants to stop Baiyo's raid in the way of a "mechanic", which can be regarded as a good strategy for drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle. He is also a very good mechanic, walking and stopping under the busy mechanical arm, looking at the ups and downs of the mecha accessories, mecha core, and mecha limbs, while looking for the main control room, his heart naturally has to understand the assembly mode in this workshop.

At the beginning, Tang Yun was indeed a little confused, mechas, especially standard military mechas, must be one of the pinnacles of the entire federal manufacturing industry. If compared, this is no different from assembling an F22-level fighter in the old calendar, or even a more expensive AWACS aircraft. It is impossible to work on an assembly line and mass produce like ordinary cars and computers. But this assembly shop ......

It seems that it is not a one-by-one solution, but a 5x5 assembly phalanx as the core, with 25 units at a time as a batch, unified assembly.

Tang Yun is not a stupid person, especially in terms of combat, he has completely and thoroughly inherited his father's excellent genes. After considering the cause and effect of the whole thing, what kind of evasion of the inspection of the federal inspectors, and the preparation for war quickly came to his mind.

At the same time, an even more inexplicable problem arose for him.

As a mechanic, Tang Yun completely understood the way of connecting the falcons of these "modular" mecha accessories, and also understood the coordination mode of these robotic arms. It's been 191 years in the new calendar, and modular mechs have been popular for six or seven years, which is a very normal thing. But the problem is, these are all military mechas! Except for the L18 that he made with the 4th Battalion Mechanic Group, Tang Yun had never heard of the modular technology of military mecha in the Federation or Baiyo!

There are pros and cons to everything, and there are two reasons why the military has not adopted modular technology.

One is that the first optimization of modular components must be to connect the components, and disassemble the original integrated design to make it easy to disassemble and assemble. This naturally brings about a decrease in the strength of the entire mecha structure, which in war, is fatal. The other is that in consideration of tactical coordination, the military pays attention to the coordination and uniformity of all parties in its operations. Even something as relatively individual as photocrystallization has to be restricted to a considerable extent, let alone a mecha? Nature is as simple as possible.

One model for range, one model for melee, and one model for synthesis. At most, a heavy armor type or mobile enhanced type is over. According to the different combat environment, interstellar marine battalions like the 4th Battalion even chose the combat mode in which the entire battalion only uses L18 mechas.

The fact that military mecha were modularized already made Tang Yun very puzzled, and then he discovered an even more exaggerated fact, the "modularization" method of these mecha was exactly the same as the L18 he made with the 4th Battalion Machine Repair Team.

For the modular transformation of L18, Tang Yun can be said to have contributed a lot. But when it comes to the modular design of L18, it is the 4th Battalion Mechanic Team headed by Shi Xiao that really plays a role.

The real design was completed in the defense of Komia more than ten years ago, and then the 14 mecha engineers at the core of the 4th Battalion were sent to Changping Star to participate in a bullshit symposium, and then disappeared inexplicably, and most of these technologies disappeared.

The reason why L18 can be done is that Shi Xiao, who was left behind by these lucky people because of reasons such as not enough level, stationed in the machine repair team to press the formation, cold and fever and stomach trouble, etc., took these remaining "fragments" and added them bit by bit in the next ten years.

Therefore, this design is not much different from what was made by all the personnel of the original 4th Battalion Mechanic Group.

Tang Yun didn't believe that there would be such a strange thing as "heroes see things the same way" among technicians, so his mood began to slowly become heavy.

The assembly workshop is very large, and the main control room is even more difficult to find for newcomers.

It shook like a headless fly for a while, until Du Feng was impatient, and he was stupid enough to propose something to "focus on the present", and let Tang Yun and himself find some hammers, pipe wrenches and the like to smash one by one. Tang Yun finally saw the green and delicate guide sign.

"The main control room, non-senior staff are not allowed to enter!"
