Chapter 41: Mecha Historiography

Although he didn't have a good attitude towards the two freshmen, Li Haotian still dutifully introduced the precautions of the training ground of the mecha department to the two of them in detail. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the way back, Bai Yunfei's pace was not as brisk as it was at the beginning.

"What's wrong??" Tang Hanming more or less guessed what this roommate was thinking.

Bai Yunfei's expression was entangled, and in the face of Tang Hanming's questioning, he was silent for a long time.

The training ground of the command department is in stark contrast to that of the mecha department, even if Bai Yunfei is naΓ―ve, he can see the gap at this time.

"Is our mecha really that bad??"

Bai Yunfei couldn't help but start to doubt, this was not what he imagined.

Isn't the Great Galaxy Era mecha one of the Federation's most powerful weapons, and hasn't becoming a Federation pilot always been the dream of countless young people?

"yes, that's how bad it is. ”

Tang Hanming nodded, and during the entrance assessment, he had already found that most of the strong freshmen had almost entered the command department. Most of the students who flow into the mecha department are the tail of some cranes in the entrance assessment, and they have no right to choose independently at all.

Except, myself!

Bai Yunfei was a little confused, when he was first sent to this planet, he still had a sense of freshness, thinking that even in such an environment, he would still be able to meet the admission standards of the five major colleges of the Federation after a year.

For this reason, he even unilaterally refused a series of assistance from the family.

"If Grandpa can rush out of here and gain a foothold in the Federation, why can't I ?!!?"

Bai Yunfei vaguely remembered the bold words he made in front of the people in his family, and now that he thought about it, how stupid it must have been.

There is not even a gravity training room in this broken place, how can this kind of thing that is essential for improving one's strength be less? ?

"The gravity training room is very important for us to improve our strength, what should we do if we don't have this thing in a year!!"

Bai Yunfei was full of thoughts, frowning, and muttering.

Tang Hanming rolled his eyes beside him, thinking that this kid was bold enough and had a strong sense of justice, but this brain was not very good.

"Wouldn't you have snatched it without you??" Tang Hanming chuckled, not paying attention to the matter of the gravity training room at all.

Then grab it!

Didn't you say that there would be an academy assessment every three months? He didn't know how the previous mecha department was, but now......

He Tang Hanming really didn't take those so-called geniuses seriously.

It's not that she has no one in her eyes, and it's not that he's arrogant, because the two sides are not at the same level at all.

It's like a billionaire worth more than 100 million, will he care about those millions of nouveau riche flaunting their wealth everywhere?

No, he won't. It's not a level of people, Tang Hanming doesn't even bother to pay attention to it.

"Grab it??yes, we can grab it!!" Bai Yunfei was awakened by Tang Hanming's words, and the light in his eyes became more and more vigorous.

Bai Yunfei clenched his fists, swept away the decadence just now, and the light on his face became more and more prosperous.

Grandpa once said, don't be cowardly, just do it!

......

With the start of a new day, Tang Hanming began his career at Mingdu College.

The curriculum at Minto College is broadly divided into two categories, theoretical courses and practical courses.

Tang Hanming's first class was mecha history, and a large classroom was crowded with countless students from the mecha department, listening to the old professor with gray sideburns on the podium.

"The development process of the Federation mecha can be roughly divided into three stages.

The first stage was the discovery of alpha metal, a metal that was perfect in both hardness and superplasticity, but due to the scarcity of production, it was not possible to build a large-scale space heavy ship. As a result, the scientific researchers of the Federation set their sights on the mecha project that had been proposed before, but was shelved indefinitely due to various reasons such as materials. ”

Speaking of this, the old professor waved his right hand slightly, and a simple and ugly-looking mecha suddenly appeared on the light curtain behind him.

"This is the first generation of mecha created by the Federation back then, Alpha 1. Alpha 1 is a melee mech, and its weapons are very rudimentary, except for the barbs on the mecha's arms, it is only equipped with two high-shock ion knives. However, due to the excellent properties of Alpha Metal, coupled with the agility displayed by the mechs in combat, it is beyond the expectations of the federal military.

As a result, the mecha project was officially put forward to the Federal Parliament and was unanimously approved by the Federal Assembly.

Since then, the Federation's research on mecha has begun to develop rapidly, and in less than three years, the Federation has made a major breakthrough. ”

The old professor slowed down, and then slowly and leisurely continued to explain.

"The second stage is the invention of beta alloys.

As we all know, the production of alpha metal is extremely low, let alone the construction of space heavy ships, and even the mecha federation cannot be mass-produced, so the federation turned its attention to another direction.

Since there is no way to mass-produce alpha metal, is it possible to create an alloy that is not inferior to alpha metal in all aspects? This shift in thinking led to one of the Federation's epoch-making inventions, what we now call beta.

Beta alloy, which uses alpha metal, but not only alpha metal, has even better properties than alpha metal in all aspects. The most important thing is that beta alloys only need to use a small amount of alpha metal to mass-produced, which means that the mass production of mechs is no longer a major headache for the Federation.

The federal scientist who invented beta received the Nebula Award from the Federal Academy of Sciences that year for his outstanding contributions to the Federation.

The Nebula Award is the most prestigious award in the Commonwealth, and is awarded annually to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the Commonwealth in all walks of life.

All previous Nebula Award winners are heroes of the Federation and heroes to each of us!!"

It's not surprising that the old professor seems to be obsessed with the Nebula Award. The highest glory of the Federation, no matter who you are, will have some illusions.

"Ahem, as for the third stage, it is the invention of the self-locking system and the rise of long-range mechs.

The mechs designed by the Federation at the beginning were all melee mechs, and the conventional weapons were either high-oscillating ion knives or laser swords.

This kind of melee mecha has high requirements for pilots, and those difficult mecha tactical moves often require the combat power of the school level or even the general level to be successfully made.

In the huge Federation, how many people have general-level combat power? Therefore, the manufacturing technology of mecha tends to mature, but the pilots are far from being mass-produced.

Of course, if there is demand, there will be progress, and we human beings are always breaking through difficulties again and again.

Soon, the emergence of the automatic locking system completely broke the previous human perception of mechas.

Mechs don't have to be close to hand-to-hand combat, even from thousands of meters away, with the automatic locking system and the judgement of the pilot, the high-energy laser cannon and laser pulses can still shoot the target accurately.

Obviously, this attack is more unpredictable and the target kills are more crisp. ”

Speaking of this, the old professor waved his hand, and the light curtain changed again, and a huge long-range mecha appeared in front of everyone.

"The current era is the era of long-range mechas, the era of energy weapons, and the era of automatic locking systems.

Melee mechs have been completely eliminated!"
