"Qin Ran, show you something!" Yang Weiguo took Xiao Li to Qin Ran's office, said a few polite words, and asked Xiao Li to take out a video material to play.

In the film and television materials, it is the whole process of [Blue Romeo] fighting monsters.

After Qin Ran finished reading, Yang Weiguo asked, "What do you think?" ”

Qin Ran pondered for a while before replying, "Their drivers are relatively good." ”

Yang Weiguo nodded, "Indeed, I have checked the driver's information, they are all veterans who are serving in the army of the United States, and they have rich combat experience, which is not comparable to Wang Cheng and a few hairy boys." Anything else? ”

Qin Ran thought for a while, and then said, "Could it be that the old general has taken a fancy to the sawtooth design of [Blue Romeo]?" ”

Yang Weiguo didn't refute either, "It does feel a little interesting, why don't you also design a similar mecha?" You don't have to have gears, any dagger or chainsaw sword is fine. ”

But I didn't think that Qin Ran shook his head when he heard this, "Old general, it's not that I don't want to design it like this, it's not that I can't design it, to be honest, this design looks very powerful, but it completely abandons the role of the palm, if the battle is one-sided, it may be effective, if the battle is stalemate or an accident occurs in the middle, this design of replacing the palm with a weapon will expose endless drawbacks." ”

"For example, last time, [Horizon Warrior] was able to grab the helicopter with the palm of his hand to save people, and when the monster's tail attacked, he could also grab it with the palm of his hand, and even drag the monster to throw it away. These are all actions that [Blue Romeo] can't do. If you design a dagger and a chainsaw sword, it is better to design it as a sword that can be picked up. ”

Yang Weiguo slapped his forehead and said with annoyance: "Look at me, I'm so busy and confused, I can't figure out such a simple truth." ”

Seeing Yang Weiguo's state like this, Qin Ran felt that there was still an article in it, with his understanding of Yang Weiguo, it was impossible to suddenly talk about this, even if he was confused, he would not point fingers at the design of the mecha.

"Old general, are you encountering any difficulties?"

Yang Weiguo sighed and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that after Mi Guo killed the monster, there was more bad public opinion in the world, saying that Mi Guo's mecha was stronger than ours." The mecha design of the United States is more reasonable than ours, and I estimate that the United States must be playing tricks behind this. ”

"Although the establishment of the Pacific Rim seems to be a whole in the entire Pacific Rim region, the disputes between major powers have a long history and cannot be put aside in a moment."

Qin Ran nodded silently, human beings are like this, even in the face of a crisis, they will not completely give up their inherent prejudices. This is called discord between the face and the heart.

"That's right!" Yang Weiguo seemed to remember another thing, "Qin Ran, you have designed a new mecha?" ”

"Well, one was designed, and on the basis of [Horizon Warrior], weapons were added."

"One?" Yang Weiguo waved his hand again and again after hearing this, "Not enough, not enough, at least three." ”

Without waiting for Qin Ran to ask, Yang Weiguo explained: "The four mass-produced [Horizon Warriors] have been built, and the four factories are empty. Of these four workshops, only one needs to be left for the maintenance and repair of mechas, and the other three can be fully utilized. ”

"Besides, you also know that there is not just one monster found in the depths of the Tonga Trench, but a group, so the more mechas, the better. We don't have a shortage of money or drivers, and recently, we have screened out six more drivers and started training. ”

Qin Ran knew about the group of monsters found in the depths of the Tonga Trench, but he was not too surprised, after all, in the movie, there were three monsters guarding the mouth of the wormhole.

Qin Ran knew that the guard monster would not take the initiative to attack, but others didn't know.

Since Yang Weiguo took the initiative to build more mechas, Qin Ran naturally would not refute it.

After Yang Weiguo left, Qin Ran immediately began to draw sketches of the new mecha.

The [Sharp Sword] designed before, Qin Ran was defined as the weakest second-generation mecha, then, in the next design, Qin Ran was ready to design a real second-generation mecha.

The chain sword of [Sharp Sword] was changed to a double-edged heavy sword, the overall length of the heavy sword is 60 meters, the hilt is 10 meters long, 5 meters wide, the sword spine is 2 meters thick, and the whole body is made of titanium alloy, and the weight of the sword body alone has reached 1,000 tons.

A 1,000-ton heavy sword is not difficult to use for a mecha with an arm strength of tens of thousands of tons.

The only trouble is how to keep the mech balanced.

If you carry the heavy sword behind your back, it is easy for the mech to lean back when not in use, and easy to pounce forward when it is not in use.

In order to ensure balance, Qin Ran could only design a balance device similar to a pendulum clock inside the mecha, weighing nearly 1,500 tons.

When the epee is not in use, the pendulum clock rests against the chest to ensure the balance of the mecha, and when the epee is used, the pendulum clock is attached to the back, which also ensures the balance of the mecha.

Of course, the pendulum clock cannot just swing back and forth, but also around, and it can be adjusted according to the degree of gravity deflection.

Because of the presence of the heavy sword and the balance device, the weight of the mecha was increased by 2,500 tons, which led to the overall weight of the mecha, most likely reaching around 11,000 tons.

In order to balance the gravity and the reaction force of wielding the heavy sword, Qin Ran increased the area of the mecha's soles, and at the same time, designed 300 10-meter-long rivets on the soles of the mecha's feet to further strengthen the balance of the mecha.

With rivets, it is not entirely good to lock the soles of the feet, so Qin Ran added a telescopic hydraulic device to the ankle to cushion the gravity of the mecha and increase the bounce of the mecha at the same time.

Because of the balance device on the chest, the heavy cannon can only be placed on the shoulders of the mech, and in the design, the angle of the four gun ports can be adjusted.

After determining the design direction, when Qin Ran drew the renderings along with the design ideas, the new mecha had turned into a behemoth with a height of 110 meters and a weight of about 11,000 tons.

This new mecha is mainly a heavy sword, and the heavy artillery has been completely reduced to an auxiliary weapon, as for other weapons, Qin Ran completely abandoned it, because this can reduce the weight of some mechas, and in Qin Ran's concept, this new mecha can be called a pure swordsman.

As for the name of the mecha, Qin Ran also thought about it, and called it [Juque], Juque Swordsman, which is very compatible.

With the design direction and renderings as a reference, Qin Ran only needs to design a sketch in the next time, and then hand it over to other experts to supplement the details of the sketch, as well as the details of the parts.

As for the third mecha, Qin Ran didn't plan to design it himself, but was going to hand it over to the technical department to design. As for the reason, one is that it is too late in time, and second, although Qin Ran is the person in charge of the technical department, he can't design all the mechas, so he has to give others in the technical department some opportunities.
