Section 07 Viking

The design drawings of the new UAV are not complicated, and can even be said to be very simple - a triangular nose, horn-like ramming angles, full motor wings......

Two electrojet engines are buried under the "shoulder blades", and the lines outlined on the skin are like the vest lines of bodybuilders, which are both smooth and powerful.

The tail vertebrae in the center of the mouths of the two nozzles are thick and long, like the tail of a crocodile...... The square scales on the tail are energy recovery devices, and the fine scales on the tip of the tail are battlefield awareness devices such as various sensors.

From the front, the sharp "horns" and the triangular head of the viper look very aggressive, the full wings can make all kinds of unbelievable movements like the wings of birds, and the front of the wing even seems to have a blade, which looks very sharp.

The final "tail" pressed against the aircraft has an indescribable weird feeling, but there is also a strange beauty like a dragon.

In terms of overall appearance, the new drone resembles an angry dragon or a Viking in scaly armor, with a sharp and ferocious momentum......

"No ranged weapons?" Chen Zheng threw the plan aside and couldn't help frowning.

"Yes, there's no way around it...... Even with a powerful cannon, it will take at least 3 or 4 rounds to take out those wyverns, and you're asking for a thousand......"

“…… So, is the supply not keeping up? Chen Zheng sat back in his chair. He has already considered the supply problem, but with the current level of technology, it is still very difficult to create a low-consumption and high-power electromagnetic cannon.

"That's right, even if our drone is fully loaded, its ammunition can kill 30 to 40 dragons at most, and the more bombs it has, the slower the drone's action, the slower the speed, and the easier it is to cause battle damage......"

The man with glasses has a very clear mind.

"So, in the end, we decided to go with a more conservative melee mode. Tremendous speed is given by the engine, which uses the ramming angle and the cutting of the wing to carry out the killing...... In this way, as long as the formation of the flying dragon is slightly denser, several drones can quickly empty the flying dragon ...... in the square area in a very short time."

"Oh?" Chen Zheng couldn't believe it, he had seen the strength of those flying dragons with his own eyes, and it was actually very close to "impossible" to try to torture them just by relying on drones.

However, Chen Zheng still put forward such a design request, and the glasses man and his team still found a perfect design plan.

"What about the materials? There are thousands of ferocious impacts...... Besides, the wings are still fully moving, and the materials needed for the joints are expensive, right? Chen Zheng saw the weakness of this drone at a glance.

Melee combat is indeed the best way to save supplies, but melee combat is far more attrition to the entire body than ordinary long-range combat.

"Well...... the man in glasses smiled bitterly, "For the time being, we can't make qualified joint parts, and even ordinary high-strength wings we can't make for the time being." ”

"However, the joint material can be replaced by zero crystal, which has extremely high anti-friction properties, good thermal conductivity, and most importantly, zero crystal is extremely rigid and almost indestructible, which is the best joint material."

"And the high-strength wing...... We need to solve the mining of titanium first, without which we cannot build a "knife" wing that is both strong and durable.

"Oh, that's how it was designed." Chen Zheng nodded, he didn't have a good way to deal with the titanium element, so he could only wait for the news after the prospecting team found the metal deposits.

“…… But the electromagnetic cannon still has to be added, and at least it must be reserved in case there are ranged monsters that can't melee combat. ”

Chen Zheng weighed it, and in the end, he sacrificed some endurance and added the design of the electromagnetic gun.

"Maximize performance while taking into account versatility."

Chen Zheng ordered.

"Yes." After the man with glasses received the order, he was quite a little speechless and stopped.

"What's the difficulty?" Chen Zheng asked.

"This ......" the man in glasses scratched his head, "we need a core to control these drones......"

"Isn't the tarot server working?" Chen Zheng was stunned.

"No, you can only run simulated intelligence on the server, and if you insist on using simulated intelligence, the drone's performance can only be used by up to 30 percent."

"So what do you need? Real people to operate? Chen Zheng frowned and said, "Not to mention the time to train them...... Are you sure that these people will be trained to be better than the operations computed by the server? ”

"This ...... I didn't mean that. The man with glasses pushed his glasses, "What I need is ...... Virtual Personality. ”

"......" Chen Zheng fell silent.

Virtual personality, using zero crystals to create electronic brain hardware, and then using some means to stimulate the electronic brain hardware to make it naturally awaken...... When it awakens and then enters a specific "norm", this is the most common production process of virtual personality.

However, the whole process carries with it endless uncertainty.

"Do you think we can 'bet' on a high-level personality?" Chen Zheng was a little unconfident......

"No, we don't need a personality of too high a level, we just need to have an 'instinctive' personality." Glasses swore and promised.

"Let me think about it......" Chen Zheng waved his hand, not immediately replying to the question.

……

The night breeze blew gently.

The early spring evening is still cool.

On the roadside, in the corners of the walls, and under the eaves, there is still some snow that has not yet melted.

Chen Zheng wandered alone on the stone road......

According to the current schedule, the stock of Zero Crystals is barely enough to make a tide gate, and the remaining fragments are just enough to meet the teleportation consumption of one person.

If more zero crystals are consumed, some extremely precise parts will need to consume a lot of time to carve out by hand.

Chen Zheng calculated the amount of zero crystalline used in the new drone...... For each additional drone, the construction of the tide gate was delayed by about ten days.

And the virtual personality is a big consumer of zero crystals, and every time an electronic brain is manufactured, the construction of the tide gate will be delayed for almost two months. It's okay if the electronic brain wakes up directly the first time...... If you don't awaken, then the zero crystals consumed will be wasted.

"Ugh."

With a sigh, Chen Zheng's footsteps stopped.

He has already made his decision.

In addition to the most critical parts that cannot be omitted, if you don't look at the time, Chen Zheng can probably squeeze out the zero crystal share of two electronic brains and sixty drones.

Sixty drones is the bottom line of a must, so Chen Zheng only has two chances.
