60 Individual Power Mecha
Single-soldier mechas are generally divided into single-soldier exoskeleton mechas and single-soldier power armor.
The individual exoskeleton mecha has strong firepower and low defense, similar to the exoskeleton mecha in "Edge of Tomorrow", the soldier's body is exposed to the air in many places.
Individual power armor, the firepower is not strong, but the defense is high. It is similar to the MK No. 1 in the first part of the weakened version of "Iron Man".
Of course, the later MK2, MK3, etc., the firepower and defense performance are a bit nonsense, and they are completely unrestrained by existing technology.
Perhaps it can be done in terms of energy, and the micro-iridium element fission reactor can be used as the power core. However, in terms of control systems, it cannot reach the perfect level of the steel suit.
Unless artificial intelligence is researched.
The research on artificial intelligence is a long-term topic. Lin Feng wants to study artificial intelligence, but he doesn’t have time to do it now.
After all, there are only four months left before the flowering period of the Blood Orchid.
Then, the problem comes back to the power mecha.
There are three difficulties in designing power mechas: one is energy issues, the second is material issues, and the third is control system issues.
Energy issues and material issues complement each other. If the energy is strong enough, then the selection of materials is not a problem.
In this world, because of the black technology of micro iridium fission reactors, Lin Feng doesn’t have to worry about energy.
Among the three problems, only the problem of the control system is left.
Powered mechas must also require the use of neural connection technology, but the disadvantages of neural connection technology will be infinitely amplified on the powered mechas.
Because the nerve reflex arc speed is much faster than that of mechanical lines, this delays the mecha's movements than the driver's movements.
When driving a giant mecha, the delay time is about 1-3 seconds.
However, the giant mecha is big and has a large movement range, and the delay of a few seconds has little impact on the battle.
But if it is replaced with human-shaped power armor, this delay is fatal.
After all, the size of the power mecha determines that it does not have so much room for action buffering.
So now Lin Feng wants to build power armor, he must reduce the problem of delay.
If the mecha does not have the ability to accurately perceive the human movement trend and thus provide people with help and support, the mecha will become a burden and drag down.
But how to improve this perception ability?
Lin Feng thought of two plans.
First, increase the nerve connection points and shorten the operating distance of mechanical lines.
The second is to speed up the computing speed of the operating system, such as using a supercomputer as the control system of the mecha.
The nerve connection technology currently used uses brain nerve connection, but many movements of the human body do not need to be completed through the brain center, such as hand retraction reactions, knee jump reflexes and other non-conditioned reflexes.
These non-conditioned reflexes can be accomplished by the central nervous system such as the brain stem, spinal cord, and do not need to pass through the cerebral cortex.
Therefore, Lin Feng is preparing to differentiate some of the brain nerve connection work based on this theory to make the operation of mechas easier.
Regarding the second solution, it is a bit troublesome to use a supercomputer as the control system.
The supercomputer is indeed very fast, but it is a bit too big to install it on a power mecha.
So Lin Feng’s idea is to use external control system.
The power mecha itself does not have a complete control system, and only retains a relatively single-functional fool-type operating system and signal transmitter.
The mecha sends the signal to a nearby supercomputer, and then the supercomputer calculates it and feeds it back to the mecha's operating system.
However, the disadvantage of this solution is that the powered mecha cannot be too far away from the supercomputer, otherwise the signal transmission time will be affected.
With a rough plan in his mind, Lin Feng calmed down and carefully studied the individual power mecha.
One month later, most of the difficulties in the design have been completed.
However, when it comes to operating the system, supercomputers are needed, but Lin Feng's company does not have this thing.
It seems that the South China Sea branch has the Galaxy 2 supercomputer.
So Lin Feng immediately set off for the South China Sea branch.
However, this time, Lin Guoxiang did not agree to Lin Feng's request.
In the office, one old and one young faced each other.
Lin Guoxiang: Why are you using a supercomputer?
Lin Feng: Testing power mecha.
Lin Guoxiang: What is the test power mecha for?
Lin Feng: Deal with giant pythons.
Lin Guoxiang: What are you doing to deal with giant pythons?
Lin Feng: Picking blood orchids.
When Lin Guoxiang heard this, he was furious.
"Xiaofeng, why are you not focused on studying mechas? Why do you want to make blood orchids? Do you want to make yourself bigger and turn into a giant a few meters tall?"
"Uh, old general, do you know about blood orchids?" Lin Feng was surprised, and then felt that he was asking nonsense.
It would be strange if Lin Guoxiang didn’t know the secret of the Blood Orchid.
So Lin Feng continued to explain.
"The veteran general, blood orchids can be made into anti-cancer drugs."
Hearing this explanation, Lin Guoxiang's expression slowed down and sighed: "Xiaofeng, do you know everything?"
"I'm not a fool, you coughed bleeding last time."
Lin Guoxiang coughed twice and said, "Xiaofeng, I am very grateful for your concern, but I am old. Even if I am not sick, I can't survive for a few years. Why should you take risks for this?"
Lin Feng was speechless.
Care about you? This word sounds so awkward and I will never admit it.
"Your old general, you are too narcissistic. Using blood orchids to make anti-cancer drugs is only part of my plan. I have checked a lot of relevant information before and found that blood orchids may have another effect, such as greatly delaying cell aging and thus increasing human lifespan.
Those who work with mechas like us, who deal with nuclear weapons and radioactive elements all day long, are very short-lived, so I just want to extend my lifespan with blood orchids."
Lin Guoxiang was stunned when he heard this, coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, and then said sternly: "Xiaofeng, I have no objection to you when you want to find Blood Orchid, but I don't allow you to take risks yourself. I can just assign a team of special forces members to go here."
But Lin Feng still sticks to his point of view.
"Vei General, those giant pythons are very powerful, I'm afraid the special forces can't deal with it, so I designed the power mecha and prepared to go by myself."
Lin Guoxiang sighed heavily and said angrily: "Xiaofeng, why are you so stubborn? Aren't you just a few giant pythons? Then I will arrange a few armed helicopters and missiles to go over. Not to mention a few giant pythons, even a snake nest can be blown away."
Lin Feng replied suddenly: "The snake's nest is gone, can the blood orchid still be left?"
"Well!" Lin Guoxiang didn't know how to respond for a while, and then he paused and persuaded him in a different direction.
"Xiaofeng, don't take risks in an impulse. Always consider the people around you who care about you. For example, the girl named Zhao, she should like you. If you have an accident, will she be sad?"
Lin Feng curled his lips, "Elder General, you are talking more and more outrageously now. Zhao Feifei? Like me? How is it possible?"
"Everyone with a discerning eye can tell, don't believe it? Call someone to ask."
Lin Feng simply picked up his cell phone and called.
"Boss, is there anything wrong?"
"Feifei, the old general said just now that you like me, isn't it true?"
"......... I like you!"
Doudu...
Lin Feng spread his hands: "Elder General, you have heard all the answers just now."
Lin Guoxiang:............
