"The body size is too bulky, the mana consumption is too large, and the energy conversion rate of mana is also very different. Sending a soldier equipped with such a body to the battlefield is a murder!"

After putting it on again, it was only a slight operation, and I saw the flaws. Sure enough, it was the same as I had thought before, but the conversion power was increased, and the previous "one-cylinder" was converted into two models: "four-cylinder" and "six-cylinder". At the same time, the number of energy blocks was increased, and the main frame of the body was modified.

As a result, it has only changed from "Antelope" to "Hummer" (Antelope - Suzuki Antelope, China's domestic four-box sedan, which seems to have been discontinued), except for a little stronger carrying capacity, the original concept is fundamentally far from the same.

It also takes magic to drive and control it, unlike a car, where you can add an extra fuel tank. Moreover, in terms of micro-operation, just like drag racing, it is difficult to control if you are not an old driver, and the excessive difficulty coefficient makes novices simply out of reach.

Until now, the body that came out of the current condition was called the "iron coffin" behind the scenes.

From a driver's standpoint, this kind of weapon, which will constantly make unreasonable demands and make people mentally exhausted, is not much better than an ordinary mount.

On the battlefield, there is just one more movable live target, and it is oversized.

After listening to my complaints, Abdul-Jabbar surprisingly did not refute it.

He looked down for a moment, waved his hand to pause the experiment, then looked at me and said, "As an experiencer, I wonder if you can provide some good advice?"

"Huh?"

Abdul-Jabbar's attitude stunned me for a second. You know to ask for my opinion.

"Whether it's a four-core or a six-core, it's going to have to be miniaturized," I said, drawing down my thoughts from the last few days, "and it's better to be something like this." ”

A drawn drawing, appearing on the only table in the field, depicts what resembles an armor goggle.

Abdul-Jabbar whispered and motioned for me to continue.

"The outer armor of the armor does not need to be heavy, its main function is to provide power to the soldiers, and if it is too thick, it will look clumsy. If it's a frontal battlefield, it may be nothing, but in a surprise battle, it has no advantages at all. ”

"If the armor is removed, how can the problem of weak defenses be solved?"

"Defensive power also consider adding a magic shield, isn't it OK to dodge ordinary attacks directly? Anyway, driving it requires a certain amount of magic talent, if you can't even generate a shield, what kind of talent. ”

"Smack!"

Abdul-Jabbar suddenly clapped his hands, startling everyone present.

"Just do what you want!"

With that, Jabbar began to paint quickly on the basis of the original drawing I had drawn.

Sure enough, it's professional, just like my horizontal drawing where you only doodle. A few minutes later, the composition of the new mech came out.

"You ......"

It seemed that it was only then that Abdul-Jabbar remembered that I was still there, and the hand holding the pencil pointed at me, and said, "I need some time, so let's stop here for today's experiment." ”

"Oh!

It's rare to call it a day early, and just as I turned to leave, I heard it.

"Inform the people from the manufacturing department and the power department to come to me in a moment. At the latest, we have to come up with a prototype tomorrow morning!"

Jabbar shouted at the technical team members present.

(Damn, there's no need to be so ruthless!, I thought I could rest a few more days.) Dear God, pray that their progress slows down!)

Strange, I actually prayed to God?

......

God didn't seem to hear me, and as soon as dawn was called, I was summoned to the experimental field in the warehouse.

The prototype had already been parked there, and given my height, Abdul-Jabbar had added independent cushioning devices to the calves. What surprised me the most was that the quad-core power conversion device was really miniaturized enough to fit into the chest heart guard, and the outside was covered with a protective cover made of quartz. At first glance, I really want to think about Iron Man.

Although I have long heard of the efficiency of the empire, being able to complete such a large-scale change overnight is really refreshing my three views.

"In fact, the Mana Transposer has been working on miniatures for a long time. It's just that the effect of power conversion is not very satisfactory, so it has been shelved. ”

Abdul-Jabbar seemed to see my suspicion and took the initiative to explain.

"Oh!

(Wait, power conversion...... That said, this thing is also a problematic work-in-progress!)

I'm starting to worry again.

After the formula was dressed, the body was activated normally, which finally made me breathe a sigh of relief. The technicians started to get busy, reporting the data. The soldiers who served as auxiliary missions were also sent out.

I started looking at today's roadmap and from time to time communicating corrections through the throat microphone and the base's control staff. (In a normal straight-line slide, I basically don't have to do anything.) It's like driving on a one-way highway road, and you don't have to worry about something suddenly getting in your way on the other side. ）

"Captain, you're about to enter the mission area. Please do all the tests as planned!"

"Understood!"

Putting away the drawings, I instantly increased my speed to 100 km/h, and at the same time, the inertia also made my back clinging to the mech. In order to reduce the pressure on your eyes that are blown away by the strong wind, close the helmet attached to the back and neck, and then lean forward and lower your posture to reduce the resistance of the wind.

In the air, Jabbar rode a griffon that he had borrowed from there, observing it with a telescope. He doesn't seem to be happy with the current data.

"Captain, can you increase your speed a little more? Theoretically, you should be able to hit 280. ”

"What are you kidding, you asked me to dodge obstacles at a speed of more than 200 miles at the same time. Why don't you let me die?"

Regardless of how well this prototype can withstand and what the concept of 200 miles is, from the appearance of an obstacle in your line of sight to the fact that touching it is a blink of an eye, a matter of seconds. It's not just a test of how fast the driver's brain can work, but also how quickly the body reacts.

"Captain, how could I possibly send you to death. None of us have the right to choose death, remembering that this is for the Empire, for the cause of science. It's an honor!"

Abdul-Jabbar, a madman named Engineer in Charge, Director of the Mecha Development Department, and Doctor of Mecha Dynamics, habitually used the honor of the Empire as an excuse to gag me after hearing my complaints again.

"Dr. Abdul-Jabbar, please don't force people up. ”

As a prototype experiment, due to the rush of time, the body almost did not use any protective buffers (except for the calves to increase its height), and it was difficult to breathe at high speeds.

At the moment, I'm already thinking about whether or not to let these people add the oxygen-generating circle to the body.
