“… So, let's first summarize the functions that we plan to complete: combat capabilities, protection capabilities, cargo capabilities, all-terrain movement capabilities..."

Kassalina muttered, holding her chest with one hand, and holding her pointed chin with the other, waving her fingers from time to time, directing the four people who were driving the engineering armor, Han Biao, the big Han Biao, the giant dog, and the little Bobby, to move all kinds of parts around and compare on a groundhog engineering armor that had removed the outer armor plate.

"The combat ability is easy to do, anyway, it's not combat armor, it's impossible to ask how high its combat power can be, just load two high-velocity electromagnetic guns like last time, considering the load capacity of the marmot, we can choose a more powerful city defense seated eight-barreled ultra-high rate of fire plasma gun, if you get a more powerful and advanced model, of course it's the best... Don't count on melee combat, the structure of the mech doesn't allow it..."

Kasannalina held an electronic pen in her small mouth, and from time to time wrote and drew on the electronic board stuck on the maintenance arm of her left hand, and also instructed Pea to place two electromagnetic guns symbolically on the shoulders of the marmot to see the overall shape to consider the installation position.

“… And then there is the ability to protect, the groundhog's load-carrying capacity is excellent, and it is completely capable of bearing all kinds of thickened special heavy plastic steel armor plates for heavy combat armor, or high-strength ceramic armor plates are also not bad... It's not easy to do the cab, it will block the driver's line of sight, if you want to use a fully enclosed type, you have to install a starlight battlefield quick response radar, so the cost is higher than a marmot, not cost-effective... What a headache! It's better to add a welded mesh format protective net, anyway, it's not used as the main force for combat..."

The girl with a headache scratched her crooked ponytail into a fluffy squirrel tail, their economic conditions and the channels that can get equipment do not allow them to use any type of material wantonly, otherwise it is easier to directly get a batch of heavy combat armor in active service of the Star Guard Force than anything else, which leads to the fact that they must use all kinds of things they can find at hand as much as possible under the existing conditions, and the pursuit is cheap.

“… There is also the carrying capacity, which the groundhog does not need to be modified too much, and when the γ-44 uses the 'Groundhog-I' engineering armor leaves the factory, it is modified with the 'Unicorn-III' power furnace and the 'Hercules' power unit specially sold by the Unicorn Family, the problem is how to expand the cargo space of the Groundhog..."

"All-terrain movement ability, the marmot's bionic transmission structure mechanical legs are enough to cope with most terrain, but the movement speed is too slow, and the upper limit of weight bearing is limited..."

Kasannalina muttered some terms that confused Han Biao, and after listening to it for a while, Han Biao couldn't help but interject: "Kashan, why don't you put wheels on groundhogs?" I see that although γ-44 has basically returned to its original state, there are many places other than the forest that are still relatively flat, and there are still a lot of roads left over from the ancient interstellar era. ”

"Wheels?" Kassan's eyes lit up, "Go on!" ”

Inspired by the mechanical blind Han Biao whimsically came up with a bad idea, he is a person who does not understand the mechanical system of the interstellar era at all, but it does not prevent him from putting forward some of his own ideas and creativity, just like a designer, he does not necessarily need to have high manufacturing skills, as long as he can design the concept with cranky ideas, and leave the rest to the manufacturing personnel to have a headache.

Han Biao pointed to the groundhog that was picked up with only one layer of pipes [***] and said, "Look, let's install two rows of rollers-like wheels under the feet of the groundhog, so that it can glide on the flat ground, and the speed can be increased?" ”

"Ice skates? What is that? Kasan looked dazed.

Feelings: There is no concept of ice skates in this era? Han Biao sweated for a moment, took the electronic board and electronic pen in Kashan's hand, and drew a schematic diagram of a giant ugly impressionist skate.

Kasan blinked and understood, "Aha! Isn't this the auxiliary wheel system of combat armor? That's right! Why do we have to create our own transformation system? There are ready-made things that can be used at all! Uh-huh... This can be replaced by the 'self-propelled jet training wheel' of the combat armor, that is, the energy supply must be connected to the power system of the marmot, otherwise it will not take long at all, but this will cause the energy consumption of the marmot to increase by 3~5% Oops! Don't think about it yet, write it down and study it later! Hambio, go on! ”

Han Biao saw that his thoughts could still come in handy, and suddenly the memory in his mind surged, and the knowledge and conceptual system that had been bombarded by the Internet in the original era emerged, pointing to the groundhog's leg and saying: "Then you look here, if we modify its leg armor plate into a track, and then find a way to make its legs deformable, and turn it into a kneeling position when needed, on some rough roads, we can also make it faster." ”

Kassan's eyes widened, "Kneeling? Uh... Isn't that the crawler drive shaft of the mining gathering robot system? Attaching a tracked drive foot to a groundhog? How ugly is that? Changed the balanced structure of the marmot, the height of the fuselage dropped by 40%, and it was directly half shorter? Isn't that the groundhog's 'bionic transmission architecture mechanical legs' lost the advantage of all-terrain operations? Belch... No, no, we can find a way to replace the lower half of the leg with a crawler drive shaft structure, but in this way, the leg support strength suddenly loses 70%, how to bear the load? No way... Or is it better to install a pair of deformable crawler drive pairs, put them down when needed, and use the original bionic transmission structure to support them? Uh-huh! Write it down, write it down, and figure it out later! Hambio, you're such a genius! Go on! ”

Han Biao's words detonated Kasanna's creative inspiration, although what Han Biao said is available in this era, and even has been eliminated, but Kashan, who is limited by today's scientific and technological system, was flickered by Han Biao little by little, and the overall idea jumped out of the frame, getting closer and closer to the prototype of her "crazy mechanical design system".

Encouraged by Kashan, Han Biao smiled and pointed to the back carrier of the engineering armor: "Also, why do we have to carry the groundhog by itself?" What we want now is a tool that can be used in all kinds of situations, do away with its cargo carrier, and replace it with that... That..."

Han Biao couldn't say anything for a while, and after thinking about it, he said: "It's the kind of trolley we saw in the market in Area G of the D.87 base that has no wheels, but can float one foot above the ground." ”

"Maglev platform?" Kashan was confused: "What's the use of that, the maglev platform is the same as the maglev vehicle, it needs a magnetic rail and a magnetic field to operate... Besides, what does the cargo platform have to do with the groundhog, they are completely two systems? ”

Han Biao looked at Kashan inexplicably: "We can let the groundhog drag that platform to run!" ”

"Drag?"

"Yes! Drag. ”

"How do you drag it?"

After a conversation, Han Biao found that the concept of "dragging" seems to have been eliminated in this era, and the vehicle itself is completely used, because there are magnetic tracks and magnetic fields in the city, no wheels are needed, and the burden is greatly reduced, and the power of the vehicle itself is enough to transport the load, so there is no need to drag to save power.

This concept is like Kassan's habit of letting the motorcycle run on its own, while Han Biao uses a mule to pull the motorcycle, referred to as "motorcycle mule".

“… Yes! I understand! ”

Kashan jumped around excitedly, and the mechanical arms of her arms and the 16 spider robotic arms behind her almost poked Han Biao: "Why didn't I think of it?" At the beginning of the ancient interstellar era, this concept was used, but it was later eliminated! I'm going to check the information... No, no, no! Should there be better equipment to do this now, such as a 'planetary anti-gravity repulsion device'? Let's install the 'magnetic levitation platform' on the 'planetary anti-gravity repulsion device', it doesn't need to have power, just let it rely on the planet's own anti-gravity repulsion, it can levitate on any terrain, eliminate friction, and then let the groundhog drag it away? Wowhaha! This concept can be applied to many vehicles today!? ”

It's good," the motorcycle mule pulled. The "Retro Concept Carrier System" was born, and the scope of modifications was expanded from engineering armor to vehicles, and then to more areas.

“… In terms of defense, the armor plates on the marmot usually increase its own weight, so why don't we make those armor plates into a 'carriage' on the 'motorcycle mule repulsion platform'? Find a way to automatically and quickly combine it with the groundhog when needed..."

"Great idea! It can reduce the weight of the marmot and increase the flexible surname, which can reduce the energy output, eh? In this case, can we slightly change the structure of the groundhog? But how do you get the armor plates to cover the marmot in time when you need it? 'Auto-assemble kit'? Huh? This way, we can also add various tools to the kit and modify the groundhog whenever we need it! ”

"Huh! Huh!? Isn't there a primeval forest everywhere outside the base? Equip the groundhog with a pair of chainsaw hands when you need to open the way, and when you need to lift heavy loads, you can get a crane arm on its shoulder or back, or attach a sledgehammer and plate axe to it, and maybe it can still fight? ”

"In that case, why don't we cancel the Groundhog's engineering armor prototype, and then combine the components needed for various functions and directly modify it into a full-featured engineering platform?"

"Khan, how do you look like a Transformer? Huh? Huh? Eh, eh?!! Transformers? That's right! Transformers! We can ......."

All right! The renovation design seminar is completely crooked.
