One Hundred and Fifty-Four, Research and Sweet Dreams (II)

The world has experienced a "cataclysm", which has caused a more or less disconnect between many knowledge and technology.

For example, the tactic that Wende is working on is a pre-cataclysmic product. The technology it uses is beyond the reach of the people of the wasteland - even if the person repairing it is already one of the best mechanics in the area.

As a result, the functionality of the Tactical Weapon is somewhat lacking, and it cannot be compared to when it was intact.

This inevitably makes Winder a little regretful, but not a lot. Because after the people of the wasteland world lost a lot of scientific and technological knowledge, the development did not stop completely.

Like the enhancement of beasthood, it was still a technology in the "laboratory" before the cataclysm, and it was a long time after the cataclysm that it was really perfected and promoted.

In this tactic of Katarina, there are also several cutting-edge technologies that belong to the "post-cataclysm".

Among them, Winder is most interested in the use of "means to identify and detect steel beasts and biochemical monsters".

Since the Cataclysm, steel beasts and cyborgs have been the greatest threat to human existence. Adult monsters can be killed with unusual firearms, but they also have a long lifespan and can continue to grow stronger over time. For a long time, the people of the wasteland were struggling to survive between monsters and monster activity areas.

It wasn't until the advent of hunters and other individuals and organizations that this situation was gradually reversed.

But the threat has not yet been fully lifted.

At least nearly half of the land in this world still belongs to the territory of those monsters.

In such an environment, it is undoubtedly extremely useful to have a reliable means of identifying and discovering them, whether for survival or hunting.

This tactic that Caterina has can do just that!

Although, to some extent, it still needs the cooperation of orange soda.

The orange soda has a component on its body that is specifically designed to do this. According to Wind, it's probably similar to a radar - emitting bands, looking for targets, and then identifying them based on the signature code - but in the end, the tactics do do the work.

It may seem like a superfluous move, but it's actually essential.

Because Orange Soda can have such abilities and components, it is developed by tactics. The exact process of Winder is unknown, and he can only guess that it is probably like he gave Sand Falcon an engineering drawing, and then the little guy collected the raw materials to evolve on his own.

Caterina has occasional complaints about this, after all, sometimes it is not so convenient to use.

But it was good news for Vinde, who not only had the drawings of the parts related to the surveillance, but was also able to conduct experimental studies without alarming the orange soda.

So after some tossing, he probably figured out how this thing worked, and it was a technology involving source power, which was similar to what he had guessed before.

Wende had killed steel beasts and biochemical monsters successively, so he knew very well that their electronic cores and magic crystals contained a certain amount of source power, and they were similar source force compositions to the Star Iron of the Ancient Martial World.

This is probably their most striking feature, and therefore the best means of detection.

Individual Tactical Weapons can react to all source force synthesizers, even the Star Iron as a foreign product. Interestingly, though, perhaps due to the higher concentration and laziness of the source force itself, it is not on this list of detection methods.

Winder figured this out, and then recorded the ready-made "feature code", and then integrated this detection method into the [Map Expansion] and [Field of View Expansion] of his ability system.

After all, this ability is very useful in the wasteland world, and can also be used to find source force synthetics in other worlds.

For example, in the ancient martial arts world, with this detection method, others want to use divine weapons to carry out sneak attacks...... It's impossible!

……

After completing the study, Winder couldn't help but feel refreshed, and after another cup of coffee, he went on in good spirits.

Of course, there are more interesting things in Katerina's tactics, but some of them are also cutting-edge, and Winder can't use them.

Like a combination of Caterina and orange soda...... Oh, and the transformation ability of the orange soda also requires the guidance of a tactical weapon just like detection.

This is easy to understand, after all, there is no "transformation pause" in reality. In some emergency situations, the ability to transform and dress without being attacked by others is essential.

This requires the tactician to continuously transmit signals to guide the orange soda to perform precise operations, and in order to completely zero error, even Katarina's tights are also key items - there are locators in all parts of it.

Wen De is a little insensitive to wearing tights, and the sand falcon is not completely normal, and the size and volume difference are too far. So although he is very interested in transforming into a mobile suit with orange soda, this ability is still a bit far away for him.

But he was not discouraged, because through contact with Caterina's memories, Winder learned that the transformation of Orange Soda into a "Power Mecha" was an extremely rare and rare ability, and at the same time, he also learned that there was a "Power Mecha" in the wasteland.

They are somewhat similar to the transformation of orange soda on the whole, but they are much less practical and stronger.

Because they are just ordinary machines, like undead steel beasts or chariots, they have the ability to repair themselves, and maintenance has always been a big problem; For the same reason, the working time of the power mecha is also extremely limited - after all, it is not a thing, and most of the items it absorbs are converted into its own energy!

Most power mechs are powered by electricity, and generally speaking, six or seven hours of continuous operation is the limit.

Therefore, on this side of the wasteland, most of the power mechs can only be used as a support tool for stronger steel companions, beast companions, and chariots.

But that didn't stop Winder's curiosity about the thing, and he decided to get one on this side of the crossroads. Not only because of its body, but also because of the power source it uses.

Wende has a hunch that the battery technology it uses should be more than that of his hometown and foreign land.

This judgment is based on the study of tactics. Yes, the tactics also use batteries. And it is very rare to have a battery that can store electricity and transmit electricity at the same time, so as to achieve self-sufficiency!

It can store electricity while it is powered by solar energy, bioelectricity, and mechanical power such as arm swings!

In the more than four years since she got the tactic, Caterina has never run out of power, let alone replaced the battery.

And after Wende used the scan to confirm that the battery and its accessories all had no source force, and it was a pure product of science and technology.

Winder realized that this battery might be the biggest takeaway for it tonight, and even for the entire Wasteland operation so far!
