Chapter 32: Thrusters

It is the god-making plan of the High Command. Or is Boswell studying the impact of artificial intelligence. Tian Xingjian didn't know anything.

Now, on the work platform in the laboratory, he is considering how to assemble the parts of the new auxiliary thruster that took nearly a week to complete.

This new type of auxiliary thruster comes from the idea of a new type of auxiliary thruster named [Hummingbird] proposed in Casper's work log.

In this vision, Casper used his knowledge and predictions of future scientific developments to depict a thruster that uses high-frequency intermittent ion jets to allow the mech to spiral in the air like a hummingbird for a short period of time.

Once this auxiliary thruster is successfully developed, it will greatly increase the strategic space of the mecha. Even in mountainous areas with harsh terrain, mechs with such thrusters are not limited by terrain. When fighting, the mecha can also have more room for movement and strike angles.

As a mechwarrior, the fat man discovered the benefits of this thruster almost at first sight. If the armored forces under the command of Reinhardt had this kind of thruster in Gacharin, then the fat man would have been sure that in that terrain conditions, he would never be able to resist the enemy's tidal attack for more than twenty-four hours with his weak forces!

Since the elimination of helicopter gunships, the low-altitude areas of modern warfare have become a forbidden area. Mechs with high-speed movement capabilities, super defense and air defense capabilities will not allow any armed forces to appear in the air hundreds of meters above their heads.

The radar, fire control, and guidance systems of the Skynet system and the mecha ensure that the energy cannons, hybrid guns, and missiles hit 100 percent at low altitudes. Any armed machinery that dares to appear at low altitudes will become the target of unbridled and frenzied dumping of anti-aircraft fire.

In terms of the ability to dodge and move in an instantaneous way in a small space. Mechs on solid ground are definitely superior to low-altitude aircraft that rely on air reaction. In order to dodge the blows of anti-aircraft fire at low altitudes, it is necessary to have a sufficiently high speed at the beginning of the battle.

The only people who can meet this condition are armored fighters. But. Having an armored fighter fight at low altitude is like having a sniper use a knife to barrel man, and it's a devastating idea. Therefore, the low altitude in modern warfare eventually became a chicken rib, and the original tank killer gunship helicopter also gradually withdrew from the historical stage in the growth of mecha and air defense weapons.

And now, Casper is in front of the fat man. A door was opened for this forbidden area, which had been closed for nearly three thousand years.

Intermittent ion turbine thrusters, in terms of structure and function, are completely different from existing auxiliary thrusters. It has eight jets instead of one or two for normal thrusters. This guarantees that it can move in any direction in an instant.

Of course. If there is no sufficiently strong core power unit, eight jets are acted. It's just a laugh.

Mechs of tens or even hundreds of tons want to suddenly activate at low altitude at low speed or at a standstill, and obtain enough speed to dodge energy cannons and missile attacks. The amount of ground power required is not something that can be achieved with a few more jets.

Casper envisioned the use of high-power engines. Combined with a dual-track energy loop and multi-layer kinetic chamber technology, the storage is designed. The design idea of storing kinetic energy in battle and releasing it in a concentrated manner when needed.

This kind of design could not have been done a hundred years ago. Neither the engine technology nor the storage materials at the time could meet the requirements for the instantaneous release of a large amount of kinetic energy.

Casper has tried hundreds of materials. Kinetic energy reservoirs that can withstand energy compression and instantaneous release of impulse are not up to the mark. The engine of the miniature warship, which he designed to provide enough power to the auxiliary thrusters, was also not completed.

Even so, in both cases, Casper has done a lot of research on key technologies. One of the most important pieces of research was his completion of the structural construction model of a dual-track energy circuit.

The core of the kinetic energy reservoir is composed of hundreds of thousands of energy acceleration chambers with a size of one cubic millimeter. The energy acceleration chambers used in the most advanced modern kinetic energy storage are all single-track energy circuits. Whether it is advanced or not only lies in the acceleration chamber of the core of the memory, which has different distribution and efficiency with the different structures of various storages.

The dual-track energy circuit structure established by Casper fundamentally completely abandons the design idea of the single-track energy circuit, so that the energy can obtain greater acceleration force in the energy acceleration chamber of the same size. This technology more than doubles the acceleration of the energy circuit!

However, Casper's design can only exist in reason

Brain simulation. Although he completed the establishment of the structural model, he was unable to fabricate the dual-track energy circuit structure he designed in a cubic millimeter of space.

This cross-era design has been silent for hundreds of years, but now, it has been dug up by fat people.

For fat people, Casper's insurmountable miniature technology is simply not a problem. Over the past 100 years, microtechnology has come by leaps and bounds. A year ago, Milan hosted a major breakthrough in miniaturization technology. [Logic]'s miniature ship version of the radar is the result of this technology.

After staring at Casper's dual-track energy circuit structure for three whole days, the fat man didn't put it into practice.

This whimsical guy was not satisfied with just making an energy acceleration module with a dual-track energy loop structure, and after carefully studying the dual-track loop structure, he added two more gyrations to the structure diagram and changed a few lines.

He called the new structure the four-track slalom acceleration!

After completing this structure, the fat man threw away the structural design of the acceleration module. In his concept, he is just following Casper's theory and making a little improvement on the centrifugal spiral structure of the double-track loop on the basis of miniaturization technology.

What is the benefit of this structure for mechas, the fat man knows very well. However, what this structure means in the mecha world, the fat man didn't realize at all.

If there was a mechanical master next to him at this time, he would definitely go crazy.

No one would have thought that when the entire mecha world was still having a headache over how to distribute the acceleration chamber to obtain the mecha kinetic energy more economically and effectively, and was still arguing over how to obtain the maximum acceleration effect of the single-track energy loop, there was a fat man who had changed the structure that doubled the acceleration effect of the single-track circuit.

Quadruple acceleration naturally obtains more kinetic energy than double acceleration.

Everything just comes from the fat man's greedy psychology. He has always believed that if he can be faster, he will eat more.

With the acceleration chamber structure in place, the rest is simpler, and the multi-layer kinetic energy cabin designed by Casper has given the best solution for the distribution of the accelerator chamber.

It is a structure of concentric circles. There are 1.2 million acceleration cabins distributed in the three-story kinetic energy cabin pipeline. According to Casper's calculation data, the kinetic energy of the mecha is absorbed by the kinetic energy chamber arranged by the calculation of the attenuation amount, and the kinetic energy escaping does not exceed 1/10,000.

Not to mention the utilization rate of kinetic energy in the acceleration module, the amount of kinetic energy escape alone is not the same as the current escape kinetic energy of nearly 30% of ordinary kinetic energy storage.

To complete this part of the production, the fat man only needs to solve the problem of high-strength materials. This problem may be a bit of a headache for other mechas, but when it comes to [Logic], it is not a problem at all.

The bio-two-state metal, which is six times harder than the strongest cemented carbide in modern times, can be used directly. It only took two days for the fat man to stay in front of the central computer, check the data of the automatic precision machine tool when building the acceleration chamber, and obtain all the parts for assembling the auxiliary thruster.

Of course, many of these parts come from the college's laboratory warehouse. Fat people are never embarrassed. In his opinion, if he doesn't take everything in the warehouse apart and study it, he is already very authentic.

The fat man was busy with the high-flow jet selected from the warehouse, changed it with a new automatic maintenance arm saw on his arm, and installed it on the main body of the propeller like the rudder of a ship.

With a backhand grab, the fat man twisted up the little kid who was scratching his hands and feet: "What do you want to do with your own fun?" Don't think I'm not going to hit you if you look cute now! ”

It has become a habit for little children to pretend to be cute, and a tender little face is full of grievances: "Chubby, someone is looking for it outside." ”

"Who?"

"It's a very pure and innocent sister...... It's so pretty, so pretty. ”

"Smack!" The fat man slapped him unceremoniously and said angrily: "Ass, if you disgust me with this tone again, I will let you not lift it for the rest of your life!" ”

“***! That woman is so delicious. The fart knew that his mistakes could be corrected, so he immediately changed his tone and said: "Convex and upturned, I really want to eat grandma." ”

"What's her name?"

"It seems to be called An Lei."

"Crackling...... Beat you up as a human scoundrel! ”
