Tuguhun has not been to the club to watch the boxing match for many days, since the last morning meeting, the "Snail Shell" and "Pangolin" two series of intelligent armor need to Tuguhun and Zuo Shishi to complete the test, and the "Aegis" 1.0 needs to start the test program, the sudden increase in workload has made the two busy and dizzy, Tuguhun even appeared in the test "Snail Shell" when the "pangolin" password error, which is ridiculous.

At the morning meeting, Prince Hao Lian only gave a week for Tu and Zuo to finish the work related to the "snail shell" and "pangolin", and now that a week has passed, the test of "snail shell" is basically completed, and the test of "pangolin" is only 90% completed, and the remaining 10% of the functions are only some non-combat auxiliary functions, such as deterrence subsystem, psychological recovery subsystem, etc., in the words of Zuo Shishi, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, and can be tested again in the future.

According to the plan, the R&D center of the underworld sealed the "snail shell" and "pangolin", and also held a short and solemn sealing ceremony for this purpose, at the sealing ceremony, Prince Hao Lian announced that from now on, all R&D teams will be transferred to the research and development and testing of "Aegis" 1.0.

Unexpectedly, the test work of "Aegis" 1.0, which is regarded as a simplified version of the "Snail Shell", has been carried out bummpily and quite unsmoothly, which is mainly due to the hard requirements of the Privy Council, which must achieve the best "cost performance" in terms of performance and price, which is very different from the previous "Snail Shell" and "Pangolin" pursuit of performance regardless of cost, after all, you get what you pay for, and you want to spend a penny to do something that costs two cents, and there is no such thing as a cutting-edge weapon research and development.

No, this week, the R&D center is having a headache for the armor protection performance of the "Aegis" has not been able to reach the ideal state, and there are two solutions initially conceived: first, increase the thickness of the armor; Second, increase the speed of maneuvering.

The first method is divided into two items, A and B, and item A is to increase the thickness of the armor without reducing the load; Item B is to increase the thickness of the armor while reducing the load.

Item A can indeed make the "Aegis" resist the killing and damage of larger-caliber warheads, but the disadvantage is that the "Aegis" itself is increased, and if the weight is not reduced, then in the case of limited physical strength of soldiers, the total weight will be too large, resulting in a decrease in mobility and excessive physical exertion, which will lead to a great reduction in combat effectiveness.

In the A test, Tuguhun once ran with a full load, but after running less than 10 kilometers, he was exhausted and paralyzed, and the battle was impossible.

In item B, when there is no way to reduce the dead weight, the weight can only be reduced by reducing the number of weapons and the base number of ammunition carried, which will lead to a significant decrease in the density of individual firepower.

In the B test, Tuguhun only completed two salvos, and the ammunition was exhausted, in order to save ammunition, the firepower density can only be reduced, which will lead to insufficient lethality, one weapon and equipment is not even lethal, and everything else is nonsense.

The second way to increase the speed of maneuvering, there is no other way, but to install a booster device on the "Aegis", and the power-assisted device needs the support of the power unit, but after the installation of the power-assisted and power-assisted device, the unit price of the "Aegis" has risen to an astonishing four million gold coins, even if the civilian power-assist and power-unit using the "Miner"-2 mechanical exoskeleton, the unit price is as much as three million gold coins, in Hao Lianbo's words, the unit price of more than one million gold coins does not need to talk to the Privy Council, reduce the function by themselves, reduce costs.

The development of "Aegis" 1.0 has come to a standstill.

On this day, Tuguhun got up early, saying that he got up early, but in fact he didn't sleep all night, and the "Aegis" test did not go well, seeing that time passed little by little, who still had the heart to sleep?

Tou Tian made an appointment with Zuo Shishi to meet at the "Huangquan" shooting range, so Tuguhun asked the attendant to send him up early, and after eating hastily, he asked Chunmei to come over to help him put on the "Aegis", and drove himself to the shooting range.

Unexpectedly, in addition to Zuo Shishi, Prince Hao Lian Bobo was also there, and the two were fiddling with a rugged anti-gravity locomotive.

"Morning prince! Dr. Left early! Tuguhun walked over and beckoned, "Whose locomotive is this?" Are you still bothering His Royal Highness the Prince to do it himself? ”

"Mine!" The left master didn't raise his head and answered.

"Yours?" It's hard to associate this rugged-looking locomotive with Dr. Zuo, who has a sven appearance.

"What's this for? Play? Tu Guhun asked.

"Useful!" The prince tightened the last screw of the locomotive's anti-gravity device and returned.

"Useful?" Tugu Hun is a little confused by the second monk.

"Will you drive?" Zuo Shishi raised his eyes and looked at Tu Guhun .

"It will be a little, it turns out that there is a locomotive in our village Xiong Hao, which is similar to this one, I usually play with him and learn a little." Tuguhun said.

"That's fine!" Prince Hao Lian said, "You will open it in a while!" ”

"Shall I drive?" Tuguhun asked, "Today's holiday?" Aegis is unexpected? ”

"Test," said the prince, "so you come and drive, this is part of the Aegis test." ”

"This ......," Tu Bone Foggy Brain Stirred, and suddenly understood, "You don't want to use anti-gravity locomotives to improve the mobility of Aegis, do you?" ”

"Yes!"

"Correct solution!" Zuo Shishi made an OK gesture towards Tu Guhun.

Tu Gu suddenly brightened, "This idea is simply genius, who came up with it?" ”

"Of course our Dr. Zuo came up with it," the prince said, "Come, take a hand,"

Tuguhun hurriedly stepped forward to help straighten the locomotive.

"The BMW M-2590 can reach a speed of 800 kilometers per hour with a load of one ton, and a speed of 500 kilometers per hour with a load of two tons," Zuo Shishi said, "The weight of the Aegis at full load is 0.8 tons, which should be no problem." ”

"How much does this car cost?" Tu Gu asked.

"Eighty-three thousand gold coins, this is the market price of Tongwan City," Prince Hao Lian replied, "plus the full load of 'Aegis', a set of 370,000 gold coins, the total price is about 450,000 gold coins, if we buy BMW's patent for mass production, the cost will be reduced, the total price should be about 3560,000, if the unit price of a set of 'Aegis' drops to this level, I have the confidence to convince the Privy Council." ”

"Here, get in the car!" The prince patted the leather seat of the motorcycle.

Spit out the bones and didn't say anything, and raised his feet to step onto the locomotive.

"This is the start button." Master Zuo walked over and pointed to a green button on the front of the car and said.

"Green button, start." Write it down.

"This is the gear button, press it to increase the speed by one hundred kilometers per hour," Zuo Shishi pointed to a yellow button, "After the locomotive starts, it defaults to the lowest gear, and the speed is thirty kilometers per hour." ”

"Yellow button, gear, every time you press it, the speed increases by 100 kilometers per hour." Spit bones and heart.

"The brakes are on the left handlebar." Zuo Shishidao.

"Brakes, left handlebar." Spit out the bones and remember it in my heart.

"The right handlebar can be rotated, which is an electric valve, which is similar to the concept of 'throttle', and the rotation to the end is the top speed of that gear."

"Right, electric gate."

"Alright, that's all," Master Zuo finally asked, "do you remember?" ”

"Remember!" Spit bones and muddy road.

"Then give it a try!" Prince said.

"Good!"

So for almost a whole day, Tu Bone covered with "Aegis" 1.0 armor, driving a floating locomotive on the "Yellow Springs" road.

******

In the early spring morning, the wind and the sun are beautiful.

Blue Wolf Castle, National Institute of Biochemistry.

Researcher Ning Haibo quickly changed into a sterile suit, cap and mask in the locker room, and after a simple spray disinfection, she walked into a smooth corridor, passed through two isolation doors, and came to a small cabin similar to a storage room.

Researcher Ning opened the conveyor located in the center of the cabin, took out the favorite fresh melons and fruits, freshly roasted lamb chops, barley bread, and fresh goat's milk and other foods of the orc "Taishan" from it and put them into a tray, then she picked up the tray, brushed open the last isolation hatch, and entered the No. 12 experimental module.

Experiment Module 12 is a hemispherical glass dome covering an area of 15 hectares, and the building is a dense artificial biomimetic forest.

The bionic forest simulates the ecology of a tropical rainforest, with trees, shrubs, rockeries, artificial streams and small lakes, and even some almost lethal macaques, elk, yellow sheep, squirrels, hares and other animals, as well as thousands of birds.

Researcher Ning placed the tray on the back rack of a small floating vehicle next to the isolation door, and slowly drove along the winding forest path, her destination was a tree house on a giant banyan tree in the heart of the "tropical rainforest", which was the "home" specially made by the institute for "Taishan".

About a kilometer into the float car, Researcher Ning saw an unforgettable scene on the right side of the road - the male macaque named "Old Barry" was pierced through the jaw by a simple "spear" made of rough branches several meters long, and the branches and corpses were stuck in the small mound of earth beside the roadside, like a banner of victory.

"God, it must be the masterpiece of 'Tarzan' again!" Researcher Ning was not surprised, and said to herself in her heart, she stopped the floating car, walked to the "flag" to check it carefully, and reported it to the management center through the communication system.

"Experimental Module 12 calls headquarters! The twelfth experimental module calls the headquarters! ”

"This is the management center, please speak!"

"The body of 'Old Bally' was found one kilometer away from the boulevard, please send someone to deal with it immediately, over!"

"Roger! We'll send someone right away, and we're done! ”

In fact, in the past half a month, the No. 12 experimental cabin has found killed small animals one after another, from the earliest parrot, to yesterday's yellow sheep, and then to today's "Old Barry", the experts and scholars of the institute have long found from the monitoring that it was "Taishan" who did it, and the reason for not stopping it is to want to study in depth the various rebellious behaviors of "Taishan" who is in "adolescence".

After checking and reporting, Researcher Ning turned around and saw a familiar figure, it was the half-orc "Taishan" - a three-meter-and-ame tall who looked very much like an adult "ancient ape", he was standing a few meters behind her, holding a branch made of a rough "spear" in his hand.

"Hi, Tai, Tarzan," Researcher Ning stumbled with emotion, she reached for her waist to hold the handle of the tranquilizer gun, "I'm 'Aunt Goo', you—you should know me, right?" ”

"Tarzan" didn't speak, his dark pupils staring at her.

"I bring you food every day, 'Aunt Goo', don't you remember?" Researcher Ning tried to defuse the tension between the two.

"Coo-coo......" "Tarzan" looked up and muttered, snorting heavily in his nostrils, then shaking his head.

"Look, there's food over there!" Researcher Ning pointed to the floating car.

"Taishan" glanced sideways at the floating car, but still did not speak, and then he walked towards Researcher Ning with a "spear" in his hand, and raised his hand to Researcher Ning......

"Poof! Burst! ”

In the next second, two powerful anesthetic needles shot into "Taishan" in the chest one after another, and at the same time, Researcher Ning's eyes caught a glimpse of "Taishan" just picking up a fallen leaf from her left shoulder......

The two looked at each other, and Researcher Ning saw that "Tarzan"'s eyes changed from trust to suspicion, from doubt to disappointment, from disappointment to anger, from anger to hatred!

"Taishan" slapped his left palm on his chest, and while the two powerful anesthetic needles were shaken away, he raised his head and roared, "Whew! ”

The next moment, the rough "spear" pierced Researcher Ning's throat.

A few minutes later, the four staff members sent by the management center to dispose of the corpse of "Old Barry" saw a terrifying scene - two straight tree trunks neatly inserted into the mud ground next to the road, one of which had the body of "Old Barry" hanging on it, and the body of researcher Ning Haibo hanging on the other side.

The sound of the alarm instantly resounded throughout the National Institute of Biological Sciences.
