At the same time, Professor Li Liping also opened the paper and began to read it carefully.

"The appearance of [Godzilla] was an accident, but its huge destructive power and unparalleled sense of oppression are fatal to the attraction of keen war careerists, who will devote themselves to researching giant beast creatures and creating biological weapons, so that future wars will evolve into wars between humans and monsters........"

"How to deal with the monster of war, the battle between the United States and [Godzilla] three years ago tells us that the strike effect of conventional weapons is minimal, and the destructive power of nuclear bombs is too strong, causing irreversible effects on the earth's ecology. So if you want to deal with the giant beast, the best way is to build your own "monster", that is, the steel mecha ........."

Browsing here, Li Liping has to admire the foresight of the author of the paper, because recently he heard the rumor that the United States is secretly researching this kind of agent that amplifies the probability of genetic mutation in animals, isn't this exactly the biological weapon mentioned in the paper? .......

Compared with Professor Li Liping, Jiang Weiguo knew more, and used it to refute Qin Ran without reservation.

"Indeed, other countries attach great importance to the research of biological genetic engineering, or rather, every country in the world attaches great importance to it, including our own. In that case, why not create the same biological weapon against the enemy's biological weapon? Others make a [Godzilla], and we also make a [Godzilla], and no one can take advantage of it. ”

"No, no, no!" Qin Ran vetoed one after another, "Compared with mechanical weapons, biological weapons have four main shortcomings. ”

"First, there are too many uncontrollable factors, and they are likely to be counterattacked, after all, monsters have brains, and they can't be controlled by humans all the time."

"Second, the cost is too high, not to mention the cultivation cost and cultivation time, after the monster becomes an adult, eating and drinking every day is an astronomical amount."

"Third, communication is difficult, the monster is not a human after all, it can't communicate with people in language, because of this, we can't completely convey the strategic goal to it, and it is impossible to achieve precision strikes."

"Fourth, the battle mode is single, and the combat damage cannot be repaired. There are only a few ways to fight monsters, and it is impossible to put a helmet on them, a heavy sword, and if the battle is interrupted, it is impossible to regrow them. Comparatively, mechs are more malleable. ”

Jiang Weiguo listened, nodded, and then smiled again, "There are also many shortcomings of the mecha, and as far as I know, the current mecha technology is not mature enough, and you must know better than me what the specific manifestations are." ”

"Yes!" Qin Ran did not deny it, "There are indeed many shortcomings in mechas, but these shortcomings can be improved step by step, and the immaturity of technology is mainly reflected in three technical difficulties." ”...........

At Mizuki University, Professor Li Liping opened the second page of the paper at this time, and compared with the author's conception of the future war situation on the first page, the second page began to explain the idea of war mecha, and at the same time put forward three main technical difficulties in the construction of mecha at that time.

"First, power supply, ordinary power systems cannot drive tens of thousands of tons of machines, and controlled nuclear fusion must be used to power to succeed, while large-scale controllable nuclear fusion reactor technology is immature.

Second, neural connection technology, if the conventional numerical control system is used to operate the mecha, then the actual combat performance of the mecha will be greatly reduced, and the mecha and the driver must be connected nerveally, so that the mecha can become a part of the driver's neural perception, so as to better play the combat effectiveness of the mecha.

Third, mechanical delay, the mecha is essentially a machine, a machine composed of various distributed parts, and the machine itself has a certain delay, one is the delay in information transmission, and the other is the delay in kinetic energy transmission. The delay in information transmission is negligible, but the delay in kinetic energy transmission can cause the mech's movement to lag significantly. ”

Seeing this, Li Liping sighed, he knew that in addition to these three main technical difficulties, there were many technical projects that needed to be overcome in mecha construction, but they were not stated one by one in the paper. Even if it is only the three main technical difficulties, ten years later, it has not been overcome.

"The idea of connecting machines and monsters may be really whimsical!" Li Liping laughed at himself.

Of course, Jiang Weiguo, who listened to Qin Ran's story, would not think so.

"How did you overcome these three difficulties? Mind telling me about it? Of course, this is your personal achievement, and it doesn't matter if you don't say it. ”

When it comes to the professional field, how can Qin Ran be conservative.

"[War Vanguard] is relatively small, so I use rubidium thermal ion reactor for the power system, because rubidium is easy to ionize, which is very suitable for magnetic fluidization energy supply, and the thermal efficiency is high, the total thermal efficiency of general nuclear power plants is 29%-32%, so the thermal efficiency combined with magnetic fluidization can reach 55%-66%, which is why I chose rubidium-ion reactor as the power.

However, rubidium hot ions are too active and not easy to control, and they are used for smaller mecha as power, but if it is a giant mecha, it needs a nuclear energy reactor, which is a change in the design of controllable nuclear fusion technology, and the principle of rubidium thermal ion reactor is used on 235 uranium, of course, this is only my unilateral assumption, and it has not been experimented.........."

"Neural connection technology is approaching maturity, and [War Vanguard] is the best proof of this."

"As for the problem of delay, this point may be the most troublesome, first, the delay cannot be eliminated, it can only be shortened, but how to shorten it, how much it needs to be shortened, not only needs to be experimented one by one, but also needs giant monsters to do comparative demonstration......."

As time passed, the content of Qin Ran's exposition became more and more profound and obscure, but he didn't know it, but the more he talked about it, the more excited he became. Jiang Weiguo could only nod politely to indicate that he was listening carefully, but he didn't understand any of the specific contents.

Qin Ran spoke for half an hour, and Jiang Weiguo seemed to be still satisfied, but he never mentioned the problem of mecha construction at all, but pushed the problem to the initial contradiction.

"You said that war mecha is suitable for fighting monsters, not for human battlefields, so according to your point of view, monsters are suitable for fighting human troops, not for war mechas, and it is easy for humans to deal with war mechas, but it is more difficult to deal with monsters. In this way, the three form a kind of closed loop, in this case, the war has evolved, and in the end it is still a war between humans and humans, and war mecha has no prospects at all! ”

Hearing this, Qin Ran choked for a while.

Yes, imagine if the enemy creates a monster and a battle is wiped out by your own mech, will the enemy still create a monster? Without monsters, mecha is useless, and in the end, it is not a war between humans and humans.

"That's not right!" , Qin Ran's heart was stunned, his thoughts eased, and he instantly realized that the enemy created a monster, which was simply a false proposition put forward by himself, as the basis for the theoretical conjecture of the appearance of the giant beast in the future, but the Kaiju Beast in "Pacific Rim" was not made by humans at all, but a biological weapon created by aliens to conquer the earth.

Qin Ran felt as if he had put himself in, but fortunately, he hadn't completely put himself in.

So Qin Ran smiled confidently and asked rhetorically: "Old general, if we knew that the enemy had anti-tank guns, wouldn't we need tanks?" ”
