Chapter 192 Drone armor?
"Captain Fan, this time I went to France for practical tests. Do you have any suggestions or opinions on the small mecha?" Lin Zhendong's assistant followed Fan Mang with a notebook, ignoring Su Tian, who also went out for practical tests.
Not only because Fan Mang is the captain, the most well-known mecha hunter in the world, but also because Fan Mang is Dean Lin’s prospective son-in-law!
"I didn't discuss it at the beginning, why can't the mecha fly? This small mecha can be used on land and water, so what about the sky?"
"I know there are fighter jets in the air, but those cannot replace mechas. Mechas must also have the ability to fight multi-distance. Moreover, weapons and equipment also need to be improved. I do not require defense, and attack power must be improved."
"Another way, the flexibility of mechas will continue to increase. Are small mechas intended to be used as patrols, defenses, etc. in the future? Inadequate flexibility will often affect their performance."
"But this is my request to my mecha ranger. You can also ask Su Tian. In the future, the small mecha team will be held responsible to him and see what his requirements are."
Fan Mang couldn't use himself to ask other mecha hunters. Others' skills could not be compared with him. The gap in talent was too big.
"Okay, Captain Fan, I've written it down. Then we'll arrange for Rangers to undergo maintenance and formulate an upgrade plan at the same time. By the way, there is another thing to communicate with you. We'll modify some of the small mechas we used for training before and develop drones."
Fan Mang stopped: "What did you say? UAV?"
"Yes, drone mecha. Because mecha hunters have too high requirements for talent, and some retired mecha hunters abroad have physical problems, especially brain damage."
"According to medical research reports, they have higher probability of developing brain diseases and there are already problems. So it is difficult to recruit mecha hunters now, especially abroad."
"Umbrella was also the first to propose in the United States. There is a group called Shaw Brothers researching. This is a private enterprise that originally does communications and has outstanding performance in unmanned detectors, remote-controlled aircraft, etc.."
"Now they have attracted investment from many large companies and are preparing to make remote control equipment for drones. Of course, their statement on the surface is still to make unmanned detectors."
"Others start doing it, and even private enterprises start doing it, so we cannot fall behind. The superiors must also consider your body. It is impossible to ignore your body and let you die in a great year."
"And after the drone mecha is available, it can be used better for patrols, not only for coastal defense, but also for use in the mainland, improving the level of public security, and solving many dangerous situations that are difficult for manpower to deal with."
"For example, if some natural disasters occur, you can arrange for mechas to rescue them. Whether it is a collapse, a fire or a flood, mechas have more advantages than many large equipment."
"But also consider the dangers faced by mecha hunters, just like when you go to blow up the monster passage, you have to open the escape pole and leave, resulting in the destruction of all mechas."
"We have detected that there are no traces of mechas in those places. It may be that they were sucked into the channel or that they may be destroyed by magma. Fortunately, there was no more dangerous thing like a nuclear explosion."
"So when necessary, we will still sacrifice mechas to protect humans. So, rather than using escape pods, it is better to use remote control equipment, which can also remove neural connection equipment and reduce costs."
"Captain Fan, aren't you optimistic about drones?" The assistant felt that the more he said, the ugly the Captain Fan's face looked. Not all mechas will be turned into drones. Even if they are made, they will be left to Captain Fan for management. Captain Fan will not have to take risks in the future, and their power will not be reduced much. What's wrong with this?
"Did you forget the alien monster that has electromagnetic pulses? This kind of drone needs remote control. What should I do if the signal is cut off? With electromagnetic pulse, the mecha will be paralyzed. No one considers these?"
Fan Mang remembered that he had talked to Lin Zhendong about this, and the other party also understood the huge shortcomings of drones, so why do we still need to study it?
"Of course I've considered it, but we have discovered some new materials that can effectively eliminate the impact of electromagnetic pulses. Although it cannot be absolutely avoided, it will at most temporarily cause the mecha to temporarily lose control, and there will not be too many turtles on the back, right?"
"Other countries are developing, and if we don't, we will be behind. Now there are no alien monsters, and mechas will become a brand new weapon."
"This time the monster rage in France has also made everyone realize the limitations of mechas. Large mechas are not superior to small alien creatures, so countries are developing small mechas. So this time we are going to use them first, which is also a small mecha."
"For giant mechas, we will continue to use mecha hunters to control them, at least that's the plan at the moment. Captain Fan, it's impossible for us to train small mecha hunters in large quantities."
The price to raise a mecha hunter is too high, far exceeding that of those pilots. Pilots can usually fly for 10 or 20 years, and then they can also turn from fighter pilots to transport pilots and continue to make contributions.
What about the mecha hunters? It took only so long that many people were forced to retire due to injuries, illness, etc., and many others sacrificed. The cost was too high and the requirements for talent were too high.
Unlike when the mecha first appeared, everyone signed up enthusiastically, hoping to become a mecha hunter, but now no one has signed up. Many people have given a lot of reasons. The monsters are gone, and the mecha bases are constantly reducing staff. Even some mecha bases in Europe and the United States have lost their jobs. What's the use of being a mecha hunter trainee? Maybe they retired because they were sick before they went to the battlefield.
"And the mecha is not only used to guard against monsters from alien planets, but now it is more used to enhance the strength of the country. If we don't study it, then the relevant talents will be poached abroad, especially the Shaw Group."
"I heard that Shaw Group not only studies unmanaged equipment, but also acquires some special metal manufacturing companies. The top leaders say they are planning. Once the monster appears, their research will be sold to ppdc, which will be exchanged for huge profits. And the shareholders behind it are also supported by the consortium."
"More importantly, Shaw Group is registered in the United States and has a branch in Hong Kong. This is clearly the Americans are making trouble behind the scenes."
Fan Mang frowned: "Then just stare at Shaw Group and let ppdc requisition the other party's technology if necessary. I still have the same opinion. The drone is not advisable. In addition to worrying about the electromagnetic pulse of alien monsters, I also worry that the control of the drone is controlled by others, or even controlled by aliens!"
