With a soft "drop", various colors of light suddenly appeared on the transparent visual mask of the closed helmet, which was the text of the wasteland world, reflecting the condition of the mech with various data.

However, Wen Deshang didn't have time to take a closer look, and another voice sounded in his ears, and Rowling, who was sitting not far away monitoring all this, prompted: "The self-test of the No. 1 machine is complete, everything is normal, you can get up now." ”

"Machine One understands." Winder replied, paused, and asked, "Is there still any distortion in the voice?" ”

Rowling replied a little stupidly: "No, after the last adjustment, this problem should be contacted." ”

Wende nodded slightly, and signaled, "Machine No. 1 is starting to get up now!" ”

Because the height of the Origin Prototype power machine created by Rowling is higher than that of the mainstream power mecha on this side of the wasteland, in order to make it easier for users to enter and exit, the mecha is fixed in the parking area in a reclining position for standby.

The advantage of this is that the number of logistics personnel is reduced, and the user can easily slide into the mech through the upper chest and abdomen hatch.

However, in this way, the start is not so fast, and the user has to change some posture and change the center of gravity before he can stand up and walk out of the parked car.

Although this is not the first time to use a mech, some problems have been found during the previous testing process, and adjustments have been made to the power mech after the fact.

Therefore, Wende did not get up directly, but moved the limbs of the mecha in a small area.

Wende's height is more than 1.8 meters, and the height of the origin machine is 224 centimeters, and the height difference between the two is nearly half a meter, which leads to the body parts of the mecha are quite suitable for the user, but the length of the limbs of the mecha is much longer than that of the user.

In the case of Winder, his hands are actually at the front of the mech's forearms, and his feet are about the same.

There, there is something like gloves and foot covers, which are used for motion capture, and then mapped to the hands and feet of the mecha for operation.

The mecha's hands are intricate to ensure considerable flexibility, and it has all five fingers, which can perfectly achieve the movements that a human hand can do.

Winder moved his wrist half a circle, then raised his fingers one by one and withdrew them, and his hands were exactly right. When the angle exceeds the set, the motion mapping starts to kick in, driving the mecha's body to lean forward. At the same time, he raised his right arm and used his right hand to grab the railing fixed above the carriage.

This is a very simple action, but because the actual position of the body's arm is somewhat different from the cognitive position of the user's arm, Wende raised his hand slightly higher, and after adjustment, he firmly grasped the railing in his hand.

Then the legs are forced, with the help of the external force of the railing, so that the body's legs forward are unloaded and fixed posture, and transformed into a standing position.

The whole process went smoothly, except for a slight shaking of the body due to the shift of the center of gravity, nothing else happened.

However, this still made Rowling, who was closely monitoring here, notice, and immediately said: "Well, the data on my side has been presented." No. 1, is your feedback system working properly? ”

Similar to the action mapping that affects the user's movements, the Origin mech also has a force feedback system that affects the user's senses.

It allows the user to feel the state of the body to a certain extent, and it is very important to obtain this information directly without observing the data, which is still very important in the race against time in real battles.

For example, although the mecha just shook slightly, the amplitude never exceeded 15 degrees, and for various reasons, the user may not be able to feel it every time.

Therefore, in order to compensate for the first acquisition of such information, force feedback will come into play.

While the body was shaking, Winder could also feel it, and his shoulders seemed to be gently pressed, not with much force, but the feeling was very clear.

Winder replied, "The feedback system is fine. ”

Rowling said, "Then, you have to continue with the first machine." ”

For power mechs, the descriptions of driving and maneuvering don't seem to be appropriate enough...... Then it can only be reluctantly said that Winder is "wearing" the power mech, and walks out step by step from the car parked in him.

There was no more problems, and I had the heart to continue communicating with Rowling, "It's been nearly five minutes since I entered the mecha, right?" ”

(Note: Theoretically, the time standards of the wasteland world will not be exactly the same as reality, and it is easy to set these up, but each discussion and description is inevitably suspicious of the water's own statement.) So let's just assume that within the influence of the protagonist, the standards have been changed according to reality. This includes but is not limited to units such as time, length, weight, etc. ）

"Five minutes and seven seconds, to be exact." Rowling replied.

"That's not a short time. If you can prepare in advance every time, in case of an emergency, five minutes is still a bit fatal......"

"Well, I've thought about this situation and done some filings. For example, the self-test after you enter the No. 1 machine can be skipped when necessary. Although it affects the use of some accessibility features, basic actions are not restricted. As a result, you'll be able to deal with emergencies while her processor self-checks in the background with extra resources: she didn't go online with a function; It is also possible to increase the priority of the functions you need through settings. ”

"Sounds pretty good." Winder nodded, "How long will that save?" ”

Rowling said: "Under the normal process, the activation time of the mecha is three minutes and twenty-one seconds and one or two. In an emergency, the theoretical activation time of the standby mech is 14 seconds and 24 seconds, including the user's entry time...... Well, through the data of the previous tests, it should be able to start in less than 40 seconds. Well...... Wrong! Emergency activation may not require the user to fully enter the mech, and I can make some changes to make it happen at the same time as emergency activation! So...... Time can be compressed into 30 seconds! If the user does a lot of training, it should be shortened! ”

After a pause, Rowling added: "Of course, these are theoretical time-savings, and we still have to test them to verify them." ”

"At least it sounds good." Winder was quite satisfied, after all, the origin was still the original prototype test body, and problems were inevitable, as long as they could be found and improved.

He said so, but he quickly realized, "Wait, it's three minutes and twenty-one, and it's been five minutes when I asked?" So for the last two minutes, I spent all my time getting up and preparing for these moves? ”

"Yes." Rowling said a little helplessly: "I just wanted to say: your movements are grinding enough!" ”

Winder couldn't help but laugh dryly, but Rowling, who realized what he was trying to say, didn't continue the question, but flipped through the data on the microphone, and then said, "But through these trials...... Your average time out of the car is also more than 1 minute and 40 seconds. Well, you talk to Sister Guan (women always wish they were eighteen forever, huh...... Sister Su is a novice who has never been in contact with mecha before. But Carter actually took more than a minute......? ”

Her voice grew quieter, and after a moment she continued, "Maybe it's a matter of proficiency?" Is there still a big gap between the origin and the orange soda? ”

"Even if you're skilled, how much time do you theoretically stay? Thirty seconds? Or twenty seconds? Wende said: "This time is still a bit too long for me. And in an emergency, whether it's the vehicle that houses the mecha is moving, or this-" He compared the entrance and exit of the lower compartment, which can't be said to be smaller, but at the same time it can only accommodate two mechs in and out, "In some environments, the danger will be exacerbated." ”

"But it always takes time to get in and out...... Rowling scratched her hair irritably, and thought of a few ways to do it but immediately vetoed it, and finally could only ask: "Then what do you think?" ”

"How about a catapult under the mount?" Wende said, knocking on the wall of the carriage opposite the mecha with his hand, and motioned: "Make this place movable, you can usually turn it on and off, and if necessary, you can throw it off in its entirety - in this way, the body can be launched directly." ”

"Hmm......" Rowling muttered for a moment, "Theoretically seems to be possible...... "Seems to be possible," but the sentence was a little crazy, "but then not only will the mech have to set up an emergency start program, but the layout of the vehicle will have to be changed!" ”

Winder disagreed, "Anyway, the car is still in the design, and there are some changes that make no difference." ”

“…… You're all right......" Rowling said, "Because I'm the one who did the design!" And this damn design has been changed five times! ”

Wende couldn't help laughing and comforted: "Take it easy, I won't rush you about the design." Now let's continue experimenting. ”

As he spoke, he had already stepped out of the carriage, and what he saw was a wilderness dominated by yellow tones and occasionally dotted with green.

This is a no-man's-land some distance from the crossroads, and after several tests on the origin and a lot of improvements, today is the first simulated combat training in a complex environment!
