One Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty-Eight Sincere Smiles

Numbered SY-9, a huge cosmic laboratory close to the planet Alan Siris is using its own rotation to simulate the huge gravity.

Its huge ring-shaped living cabin does not rotate fast, because of its huge size, it does not need and cannot rotate quickly.

The sun's rays pass through the already large-scale Dyson ball sun umbrella panel and shine on this super-huge man-made space laboratory, reflecting off-white light.

The flashing lights were like breathing, and the huge golden eagle emblem slowly rotated to a place where the sun could shine, and gradually emerged from the darkness, full of majesty.

Inside the heavy shell, under the protection of two layers of airtight cabins, in the huge office, an engineer in a white coat pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at the data on the monitor, with a serious expression on his face.

With the current technology of the Alan Hill Empire, in fact, myopia is not an incurable disease, but many people are still accustomed to wearing glasses, because the auxiliary functions of glasses provide a lot of convenience.

It can project a lot of information, and can also provide the function of headphones, so it is a "pendant" for many technicians, and it is very convenient to use.

Of course, part of the reason is that wearing glasses can make unconfident technical geeks more comfortable. They are used to protecting themselves behind masks, and glasses can provide psychological hints in this regard.

To put it bluntly, he is not handsome enough. Hanging glasses decorations on his face can make up for the disadvantage of small eyes and a collapsed nose bridge, and improve the overall image.

And if he is a handsome guy... nonsense! A handsome guy who wears glasses is also a handsome guy, even a bald guy is also a handsome guy. Is there anything else to discuss?

"Now it seems that there is a problem with the idea of ​​using a large number of thrusters in the universe." Behind him, a beautiful female engineer leaned over and saw the series of data, and said.

Grabbing the bitter tea in front of him and blowing on the hot air floating above, the engineer with glasses agreed without looking back: "Yes, instead of installing propellers in all directions, giving fighter jets more powerful maneuverability , why not choose an easier way.”

The female engineer stood up, curiously put the tablet in her hand on the table, and repeated what the male colleague had just said: "Easier way?"

"Do you still remember UIPA?" The male engineer took a sip of the bitter tea and felt refreshed, so he typed twice on the keyboard and called up a set of old data: "I think this obsolete atmosphere Weapons, you can still continue to try."

"of course I remember,

That outdated...wait...you mean? The female engineer frowned, as if she realized something, looked expectantly at the data about UIPA on the screen.

In fact, when the UIPA-1 individual power armor of the Irish Empire was designed, it was intended to replace tanks and become the king of land warfare.

Compared with tanks, it is more flexible and can fly for a short period of time, with higher tactical execution capabilities. However, compared to tanks, its shortcomings are too obvious.

The first is that the target is too large, and it is easy to be attacked by the enemy's concentrated firepower. Sadly, apart from increasing the energy defense of the magic defense barrier, it has no way to increase its defense by increasing its armor thickness.

At the same time, because of its disadvantages in defense, the UIPA-1, which can only emphasize mobility, can only choose a main weapon with weak firepower. The obvious gap in caliber makes it not as good as a tank in terms of firepower.

These disadvantages also made UIPA-1 a tasteless land weapon, and eventually stopped its development, and passed it on to the second-line troops or put it in the arsenal.

But I have to say that UIPA-1 still has some technologies, which are worth studying-the main battlefield between the Alan Hill Empire and the Watcher is no longer on the surface. The difference between the cosmic environment and the surface makes the Alan Hill Empire Engineers, re-aware of the technical advantages of UIPA-1.

"That's right! The idea of ​​UIPA-1 is completely outdated on the ground...but if you take this idea into the universe, it seems to become interesting." The male engineer pointed to the one on the computer screen. The huge humanoid mecha spoke.

The female engineer thought for a few seconds and put forward her own point of view: "But the problem is that we have no way to compress the power system, and it is not a good choice to install propellers on a huge humanoid mech."

"But it provides us with a development idea, an idea that can improve maneuverability! Controlling a fighter jet...is much more difficult than controlling one's own body." The male engineer admitted that the other party's view had some truth, but he still insisted on his own point of view.

"Actually, I have a lot of data to support my point of view...Look!" He said, pointing to the humanoid mecha on the computer monitor, and introduced: "First of all, because of the soul connection technology, the reaction speed of UIPA, It is much stronger than the joystick, and it is more in line with operating habits.”

"Secondly!" He continued to point to all the marked joints of the humanoid mech and said to the female engineer: "Because of the puppet robot technology, we can save a lot of weight and volume in joint technology..."

Compared with installing attitude engines in all directions, relying on joints and flexible limbs to reduce the number of attitude engines and taking advantage of joint technology will enable the new UIPA technology to achieve the dual advantages of saving internal space and reducing weight in the universe. .

The advantage of weight reduction in the universe is not obvious, but saving internal space can carry more fuel, which has many advantages for space fighters.

Because redundant attitude engines occupy the internal space of fighter jets, and also create constraints in design—if you want to share a single energy source, these attitude engines must be connected.

Dolls don't have to worry about these problems - just adjust the limbs, and you can get the ability to propel in all directions...

After he finished speaking, he compared the space fighters currently used by the Alan Hill Empire: "Because there is no gravity and resistance in space, the dolls don't worry about being hindered by the atmosphere, and they don't suffer from speed..."

"What you said makes sense." Touching her chin, the female engineer also understood the essence of this design: "Flying in space is similar to diving and swimming. As long as you master the essentials, the reaction speed of the equipment may be improved. Quite a few..."

"Moreover, once the human form is made, the training cost may be reduced a lot." She patted her colleague on the shoulder and said, "Sort out the data, enter it into the computer for calculation, and see the data comparison result!"

"No problem, tonight... have a meal together?" Finally, the male engineer got to the point.

"No time, sorry." The female engineer flicked her curly hair, and answered very simply, with a sincere smile on her face.
