4 A Dusty Essay (Part I)
Beijing, Mizuki University, School of Mechanical Engineering, Comprehensive Research Building, Professor Li Liping's Office.
As a professor of the School of Mechanical Engineering of Mizuki University, Li Liping has worked hard for the School of Mechanical Engineering, but even so, the development of the School of Mechanical Engineering is not satisfactory, and it is difficult to return to the glory of the year.
Because the United States resurrected the dinosaurs, the new Jurassic Park, and the appearance of the monster named Godzilla thirteen years ago, a monster fever suddenly broke out all over the world, so biological genetics was sought after by people, and the National Academy of Sciences also began to pay attention to the study of monsters.
What does the School of Mechanical Engineering study? Optical Engineering, Instrument Science and Technology, Power Engineering, Engineering Thermophysics? Does this have anything to do with monsters?
Therefore, the number of new students enrolled in the School of Mechanical Engineering of Mizuki University has plummeted in the past five years, and it is about to become an unpopular major of Mizuki University.
But as an old professor who has struggled in the School of Mechanical Engineering all his life, Li Liping is very unwilling, for this reason, he is ready to write a paper to connect mechanical engineering and monsters, so that people can pay attention to mechanical engineering.
To put it simply, this way is to rub the traffic of monster fever.
Although this method cannot be put on the table, this is the only method Li Liping has used at present, and he has appealed and visited before, but all of them have failed without exception. Even this kind of means of rubbing traffic was ordered by his granddaughter two days ago.
Even so, it is not easy to write a paper to save the School of Engineering, Li Liping has been sitting in the office for three hours, and he has not been able to start writing, it is really a bit difficult to connect the cold machine and the monster, this is really a bit difficult, you can't mess around, if such a paper is published, let alone make people pay attention to mechanical engineering, I am afraid that the entire School of Mechanical Engineering and even Mizuki University will become a laughing stock.
"Where do you find a breakthrough?" Li Liping's eyebrows were squeezed into a tuft, shaking his reading glasses, and he didn't have a clue in his heart.
Da Da Da Da .... There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and finally stopped at the door of Li Liping's office, disturbing his thoughts.
Looking up, it was Xu Jing, the assistant to the professor, who was looking for him with a pile of documents.
"Professor Li, these papers have been stored for more than ten years, and I am going to throw them away!"
"Throw it away, throw it away!" Li Liping frowned, "I'm busy writing a paper, if it's nothing serious, don't bother me these two days!" ”
"Okay, Professor Li!" Xu Jing nodded, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Liping's ghostly messenger: "Wait, paper? You say you're holding a paper? ”
"Yes, most of them are student graduation theses, and some are written by faculty and staff!"
"Show me!"
"Good!" Although Xu Jing was surprised by Li Liping's attitude before and after, she didn't think much about it, and asked for instructions to leave after putting all the papers on the desk.
Li Liping put down the work in his hand, removed the manuscript paper that was about to write the paper, took out a large paper, swept the dust on it, and glanced at it a few times.
"On the Future Application of Optics"
On the Prospect of Antigravity
.........
After reading the content of the previous papers, Li Liping laughed at himself: "Looking for inspiration from these papers, maybe I think too much!" ”
As he spoke, Li Liping sorted out these papers, and he didn't want to continue reading them, so he was ready to throw them away.
can be sorted out, but accidentally shaken out a paper.
On Future Wars: The War Between Mechs and Monsters
This title instantly attracted Li Liping's attention, isn't this the breakthrough he is looking for?
..............
In one of the five-story buildings guarded by the security department, an old soldier and a young man sat opposite each other.
"Qin Ran, 30 years old, unmarried, from Hekou Town, Anping City, Nam Giang Province, graduated from the School of Mechanical Engineering of Mizuki University in 2040 ......"
The old man told Qin Ran about his past as if he had a treasure, and said it slowly and unhurriedly, including the matter of the 80 million inheritance, as well as the origin of the Qiangfeng Automobile Repair Factory.
Regarding the old man's narration, Qin Ran looked indifferent, although it was only a short five hours from the time he beat the Tyrannosaurus Rex to the time he was brought here by the military, but if he wanted to investigate his own information, this time was enough.
At that time, when the reconnaissance plane appeared, Qin Ran had already guessed that he would be concerned by the military, but he did not evade, because the development of things was secretly in line with the original intention of building the mecha.
[War Vanguard] is just a preliminary experiment, what Qin Ran really wants to build is a giant mecha tens of meters or hundreds of meters high, but if he wants to build such a mecha, it is difficult to achieve it with personal efforts, and he must get the support of the state.
Therefore, Qin Ran did not resist the military's request, and was very cooperative.
Therefore, there is a scene of dialogue between the two now.
After briefly describing Qin Ran's information, the old man smiled, and then introduced himself:
"Jiang Weiguo, an old man who has been half-cut into the ground."
Inadvertently glimpsed the military rank of the other party's three gold stars, Qin Ran already knew that the other party was not an ordinary old man, and it was likely to be the supreme person in charge of the Southern Military Region, he didn't expect that a mecha would attract the highest person in charge of the military to meet in person.
"Hello, General Jiang!" Qin Ran was surprised, but still greeted politely.
Jiang Weiguo nodded, and the conversation began to get to the point.
"I'm curious, how did you come up with the idea of building a mech, like your [War Vanguard]?"
"Because I like it!" Qin Ran's eyes flashed a little reminiscence, he wanted to build a mecha in his previous life, but he failed to succeed due to technical reasons, and after crossing over, with the technical support in the system, he chose the mecha without hesitation, of course, this is only one aspect, and on the other hand, "I hope to use the [War Vanguard] as a springboard to let the country pay attention to the research of mecha and let mecha gallop on the battlefield." ”
Jiang Weiguo listened to it and smiled noncommittally, "However, mecha is like chicken ribs for war, the construction funds are huge, but the actual combat ability is not strong, it is easy to be interfered by the enemy's electromagnetic interference, even if it can shield electromagnetic interference, such a big man can only be used as a live target by the enemy!" ”
Of course, Qin Ran knew the shortcomings of the mecha, and he replied without hesitation: "[War Vanguard] is the first mecha, of course, there are all kinds of shortcomings, but with the development of science and technology, it will definitely be improved step by step, just like a mobile phone, how could the person who invented the mobile phone back then think of the diversification of the use of mobile phones today, and..."
Qin Ran paused, and then continued: "And the mecha I researched is mainly used in wars with monsters, not human civil wars!" ”
"Monsters?" Jiang Weiguo was stunned, this point coincided with his thoughts when he first saw the emergence of [War Vanguard], but this was only a flash of inspiration, and it was not necessarily applicable, so he asked rhetorically:
"The size of the monster is only a few meters or more than ten meters, the largest monster in the world is the King Kong found on Skull Island ten years ago, its height is only 15 meters, conventional weapons can destroy these monsters, do you still need mecha?"
Qin Ran shook his head disapprerovingly, "You seem to have forgotten that [Godzilla]. (Godzilla is a monster in the movie "Godzilla 1998", because of the nuclear explosion mutation, in order to distinguish the ancient Godzilla, so it is called [Godzilla])
But Jiang Weiguo didn't care, he shook his head: "[Godzilla] is just a special case, it belongs to mutated creatures, and its mutation cannot be replicated. Then, he added: "Even if the second [Godzilla] appears, it may not be able to deal with it even if it is the size of the [War Vanguard]." ”
[Godzilla] is indeed a special case, it is a mutation of a lizard contaminated by nuclear radiation, and the probability of this mutation is only 1 in 100 million. But Qin Ran knew from the system that the monsters in this world were not just as simple as mutations, and the chrysanthemum beast was about to appear.
If the mecha can't be used on the battlefield, then it has no value for the right thing.
"[War Vanguard] is still exposed early," Qin Ran thought to himself, "Maybe only when some giant monsters appear, it should be exposed to the state." ’
But things have developed to this point, and Qin Ran must seize the opportunity in front of him to convince Jiang Weiguo.
But with the attitude of the other party, it is difficult to do this.
Qin Ran organized a set of rhetoric for this kind of debate ten years ago, vaguely saying that there would be giant monsters, but when [Godzilla] affected the whole world, he couldn't convince the school's tutors, and now how can he convince Jiang Weiguo in front of him?
But no matter what, you have to give it a try, in case it succeeds.
After sorting out his thoughts, Qin Ran replied seriously: "First of all, [War Vanguard] is only an experimental product to verify that the mecha can be used in actual combat in the early stage, and the experiment has been successful, we can completely build a giant mecha tens of meters high or even hundreds of meters high according to its technology." Such a mecha has no problem dealing with monsters such as [Godzilla].
Secondly, the appearance of [Godzilla] was an accident, but its destructive power is well known, and the direct economic loss caused by [Godzilla] thirteen years ago exceeded 500 billion US dollars......"
