Volume 3 Xilin's Journey Chapter 197 A Pit in the Snow
、、、、、、、
"Although I am also an engineer, it is really difficult to appreciate the simplicity and beauty of classical physics when I look at those mechs that have been blasted into black charcoal and the Federation pilots who have been steamed to death. ”
The white MX mech they were in had a big problem with the power system, the cockpit life support system was limited to extremely low levels, the air was slightly cold, and the mech that switched to marching mode was dragged by the tractor in the snow and ice, and it was trembling a little.
Xu Le's voice at this time was also a little trembling and cold, in the past few years, he and Shang Qiu have maintained a high density of contact, although the emails are basically boring design communication, but in these reciprocating symbolic formula structure diagrams, the two people have become extremely close and familiar.
He knew that Shang Qiu was a freak genius obsessed with engineering design, but as a federal soldier, it was still a little difficult to accept these words with a steady rhythm and no emotion, and when he heard the praise of the ice pit dug by the Imperials.
Shang Qiu didn't notice the change in his mood and continued to say calmly, "But your response is also very strong. After installing that system, even if it can't solve the problem of mecha stepping on the pit for the time being, it can at least be predicted in advance. As long as they can accurately judge the snow pits covered in snow, the Federation mechs will not be stupid enough to step into them. ”
She looked away from the light curtain, put her fingertips on the top of the top of the nose bridge, looked at Xu Le seriously, and said: "That system is very simple, but it can solve big problems, and your design ideas are also very concise and beautiful." I've always wanted to pry your head open to see what's hidden inside. ”
Hidden under the skull were countless small hard stones and anachronisms, coupled with the massive conceptual structural drawings stored on the federal central computer, and perhaps many pornographic movies, Xu Le replied in his heart.
"It's hard for the average military mechanic engineer to think of using such a simple civilian technology, because we are very unfamiliar with it, how did you come up with the idea of doing this?"
"I was taught to mechanic since I was a child that even the most sophisticated and complex machines can be treated as the simplest household appliances, such as hair dryers. ”
Xu Le thought of the workshop by the side of the mine, and Uncle Xun's bone-stained machine repair style was inherited, squinted his eyes and said: "That echo azimuth alignment system uses high-frequency sonic logging technology, which is often used in mining in Donglin, you know that I am originally Donglin...... The squatting soldier over there was born. ”
"Well, it seems that engineers really need to broaden their horizons, and they can't stay in the engineering department underground in the port capital like me. Shang Qiu nodded, picked up the electrosensitive pen and scratched his itchy eyebrows, and said, "Since the problems on the battlefield are basically solved, you should devote all your energy to mecha testing, and you should have given more opinions on the trial operation status of MXT." ”
"I am now the technical director of the 17th Division, not the technical director of Guoke. Xu Le replied with some annoyance: "And don't forget, as your experimenter, I have been injured at this time, and in the case of excessive bleeding, I will inhibit the secretion of the flowing mound gland, causing spatial cognitive impairment, and the advice I give in this case can only make this broken mecha explode more spectacular." ”
"Cheng Fengshi was introduced to the Guoke Engineering Department by you, and his turbocharging technology was also confirmed by you in the email after it was transformed. But after all, it's a first-generation prototype, and the coordination of the twin engines and superchargers is unstable, so it's not normal for things to go wrong?"
Xu Le thought of the explosion incident that occurred in the middle of the glacier three days ago, and thought of the sputtered alloy fragments and the sky-high black smoke in the white sky, he couldn't help but have some heart palpitations, if it wasn't for the good protective measures, he might not have died on the battlefield fighting with the Imperials, but he would have died in the test plane of the Federation's new mecha.
"But I heard that the MXT sent to 3320 by the Guoke Engineering Department didn't explode, and I don't think that Crazy Li knows more about mechs than I do. ”
"Maybe he's a bit better than yours. Shang Qiu replied calmly, a trace of unwillingness flashed on his face that was still beautiful and tender without makeup, and said quietly: "Judging from the current data feedback, the experiments on both sides have actually failed. ”
Xu Le's eyebrows frowned slightly, looking at her puzzled.
Shang Qiu raised his head and said very seriously: "The power is not unstable, it can be solved by tuning, but in the moment when MXT is really breaking through the overclocking state, except for you and Lieutenant Colonel Li Feng, no one can withstand this load, and even if someone can, there is no way to have such a rapid neural reaction speed." ”
"The purpose of my mecha design is not to create you two super soldiers, but to improve the armament level of the entire Federation. ”
"Super soldier, that sounds like a dirty name...... But it's quite exciting. Xu Le said with a smile.
............ The Federation troops walked very slowly in the ice and snow world, and the team of tracked heavy armored icebreakers and tractors and three white mechs braved the violent wind and snow, carefully moving forward in the narrow space.
Lan Xiaolong sat in the first armored car, his face was gloomy and ugly, his eyes were fixed on the light screen, and he was wearing a first-aid bandage on his left shoulder, which kept releasing the smell of healing glue outward. Gu Xifeng in front stared at the electronic monitoring screen, more vigilant than Lan Xiaolong, while Bai Yulan was holding the field command system and methodically issuing orders to the entire army.
The white, solemn-looking glacial world was made hideous by the roaring blizzard, and even more dangerous for this federal force was the Imperial Expeditionary Force that did not know where it was hiding, and on the way to retreat, they had already encountered several small-scale pursuits, a military vehicle was blown up, and four soldiers of the 17th Division were killed.
There are always vacancies in the Federation's re-laid charter network, especially in the Arctic glacier region, where the remaining Imperial Expeditionary Force is destroying the Federation's surveillance equipment at all costs, the satellites in the sky are covered by snow clouds as thick as wet quilts, and the Federation's reconnaissance planes do not dare to go deep into the snow-capped mountains with complex terrain in such climatic conditions, so everything is on their own.
This unit is part of the New 17th Division, under the direct leadership of Xu Le, the technical director of the New 17th Division, and their mission this time is not to fix the loopholes in the Charter network, but to test the latest MXT mechs in the Federation through a routine reconnaissance mission.
Although this new mecha only made some minor tweaks on the MX mech, it was pinned on by the federal military because of the synthesis of micro turbocharging technology in the power system, but no one expected that one of the three mechs in this test would break.
The Federation strictly ordered that they should not be left behind or self-destruct, so the troops had to work hard to bring back, and on the difficult return journey, they encountered a sneak attack by a small group of Imperial troops, but what was even more terrifying was that since last night, they encountered a geomagnetic explosion that is not common on planet 5460!
Because of the geomagnetic storm, it was extremely difficult for them to contact the division headquarters, they could not contact the charter network in real time, they could not make accurate real-time positioning, and coupled with the violent wind and snow, the entire army was actually ...... Lost.
At three o'clock in the afternoon of regional standard time, the sky that had begun to darken and the false sun that had already sunk without temperature made the troops of the 17th Division stop, and the soldiers wearing cold-proof individual suits jumped out of the armored vehicles and began to prepare for the temporary camp.
Xu Le climbed down from the cockpit of the mech, then stretched out his hands upwards, and then everyone saw a scene that shocked them.
Shang Qiu walked out of the cockpit, he didn't even think about it, he didn't feel any hesitation, he kicked his legs, kept his body in a sitting position, and jumped down!
The MX mecha in the marching state, the cockpit height was still enough to kill a cow, but she just jumped, and after a short time, there was a soft snap, and Xu Le caught her.
The female engineer in Xu Le's arms looked calm, without any excitement or fear, because the engineer's thinking and precise calculations, as well as the tacit understanding between her work partners, told her that Xu Le would definitely be able to catch herself by jumping from such a high place.
"My back still hurts a little. Shang Qiu pressed his heavy gloved hand against his waist, frowned slightly, and said, "Next time, you will have to extend the buffer distance by half." ”
"Then I have to get down on my knees. Xu Le replied: "In this way, you can ensure the buffer stroke, but the question is, why do you always insist on jumping down?"
"I don't like the MX mech gangway you designed, one, it's not aesthetically pleasing, and two, it's too far apart, and the girl's posture is ugly when she steps down. In addition, the psychological counselor of the personnel department of Guoke suggested that I participate in more outdoor outward bound training. Shang Qiu replied as a matter of course.
"One, mecha is used to kill people, not for beauty pageants. Second, there is currently not a single female pilot in the Federation. Also, this kind of outward bound training will always only train my arm muscles, as for the psychological aspect of overcoming your fears...... I never think you have the concept of fear in your head. ”
"Then you can interpret it as I want you to hug it. Shang Qiu's eyes blinked suddenly.
Xu Le's face was a little hot, and then at this moment, he suddenly felt that the soles of his feet were suddenly empty.
Several of the officers of Magnolia were preparing to come over for a routine report, and they listened to this boring dialogue clearly, and couldn't help but shrug their shoulders innocently like Lan Xiaolong at the same time. In their opinion, Xu Le, who was able to sit in front of the workbench for more than thirty hours, without eating or drinking in front of countless symbols, formulas, drawings, was already a freak in some respects, but compared to Shang Qiu, a genius engineer with a fruit shell, it was more normal.
At this moment, they suddenly saw that the male and female engineers who were hugging each other suddenly fell into the snow and disappeared into the blizzard in an instant.
