A power laboratory of the Kansai Branch of the Space Development Agency:
Da da da!
With a crisp sound, rows of lights on the dome lit up from front to back, illuminating the huge factory building.
The first thing that catches the eye is the yellow-painted Feiyan-1 parked in the middle. The fuselage on both sides has been opened, and arm-thick cables are connected to it. There are also dozens of large and small, different shapes.
There are robotic arms and unnamed instruments, and there are many boxes stacked next to them, ranging from containers to suitcases, many of which have been opened.
Horii took the lead and walked over, introducing as he walked: "This was originally a laboratory of Dr. Kashiwamura's development team, because the mechanical equipment here were designed and installed based on the GW-01, which is the Feiyan No. 1 series of fighters. Therefore,
The original plan was to dismantle the GW-01Z after completing the modification and testing work."
GW-01Z!
Feiyan No. 1-Z!
Chiba Makoto knows and has seen this model. The few fighters currently equipped by the Space Adventure Team are the GW-01Z. This model is called the final swan song of Feiyan-1 in the industry. Its performance is quite superior.
Maintenance is extremely convenient. Even now that the Victory Condor has been officially installed, GW-01Z is still active in various space stations and interstellar bases around the world and beyond.
This is about four years ago, that is, in 2013. In order to adapt to the development of the new era, TPC began to reorganize its structure. At the same time, it also carried out the research and development of a new generation of fighter jets, namely the Condor Project!
While everyone's attention is focused on the new generation of fighter jets, Dr. Kashiwamura is still "nostalgic" for the GW series of fighter jets she created, and proposed to the headquarters to make full use of existing refined technologies based on the GW-01A
and new materials, without affecting the basic performance of the Feiyan-1, to improve productivity and maintainability, thereby improving the overall performance of the Feiyan-1 series fighter jets to a certain extent.
This plan was quickly approved by the headquarters because the reasons given by Dr. Kashiwamura were very convincing:
Even if the development of a new fighter jet goes smoothly, it will take a long time from research and development, test flights, production, fielding, and final popularization.
Before the new fighter jets are popularized and effectively used, the Feiyan-1, which has long been familiar to the majority of pilots, will still have to bear the heavy responsibility of earth defense. Therefore, it is very important to improve the performance of the Feiyan-1, which is still the main combat aircraft in various parts of the world.
necessary.
Because a total of nearly two hundred Feiyan-1 series fighter jets have been produced, even if the new fighter jets have begun production, it will take a long time and a large amount of money to replace them all. Therefore, modern technology is used to modify the existing ones.
Fighters are necessary.
It only took a year for the Kashiwa Village team to complete the modification and send it to all parts of the world, allowing each branch to modify the active GW-01A into GW-01Z. Then some members of the Kashiwa Village team were transferred to join the "Condor Project"
, others have entered other fields and continue to shine.
This team, which started to shine in 2002 by developing a super-efficient jet engine system and thus became a leader in the aviation field, exists in name only.
The experience of the Bai Cun team is just a microcosm of the TPC restructuring trend. Many departments, including the Victory Team, were disbanded, reorganized, or reorganized. The whole process lasted for two years, until 2015.
Stabilize.
TPC began to use a new logo, the new Victory Team has an official name - Super Victory Team, and all departments are on the right track...
"Because this is the last mission of the Kashiwamura team, and this model has been developed to the limit, it is named GW-01Z." Horii sighed. The most advanced fighter jet at that time has now become 'backward'
, even the GW-01Z that has been upgraded to the extreme, the overall performance is far inferior to the Victory Condor. The Victory team that bravely defended the earth back then is now in pieces, replaced by NEW·GUTS that gave it the name of super.
"However, not everyone thinks that the Feiyan series has reached its limit and there is no room for improvement, because it is a very mature, excellent and combat-proven model."
"Like you?"
"That's right!" Horii admitted generously, skillfully started the computer in the middle of the array of instruments, stared at the fighter in front of him that was familiar with the location of every part, and said: "I took over this from Dr. Kashiwamura.
Laboratory, and before the victory team was officially disbanded, they took away the Feiyan No. 1 and applied for funds and technology from the headquarters to verify the Feiyan series fighter jets and use the new Max engine by replacing it with the new one.
The possibility of flying."
"Then you succeeded?"
"No, failed!"
"Well..."
This is a bit embarrassing.
“To be precise, we failed half the time,” Horii said with regret, fully demonstrating his rigor as a scientist: “Although the New Max engine has been miniaturized, its size is still smaller than that of Feiyan-1.
It’s too huge.”
While talking, Horii typed on the keyboard, opened a folder marked GW-01M, opened several pictures, and conducted semi-perspective comparisons, allowing Chiba Makoto to see the differences at a glance.
The miniaturized New Max engine is two or three times larger than the HPE series of space and sky dual-purpose engines used by Feiyan-1. It is so huge that it cannot be forced into it, but if the tail of Feiyan-1 is enlarged,
The volume will greatly change the aerodynamic appearance of Feiyan-1. Once the aerodynamic appearance changes, the workload will almost equal that of redesigning a fighter jet.
But the east is not bright and the west is bright.
Although the New Max engine cannot be installed on the Jebel 1 until it becomes more compact, Horii's research is not in vain, because the New Max engine can be used in the Jebel 2 and Jebel EX-J of large fighter jets.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Beginning in 2011, TPC divisions around the world that completed the reorganization began to produce and deploy Feiyan EX-J, with a total of twenty aircraft produced.
After Horii's successful verification, TPC began to modify Feiyan EX-J's HPE space engine into the New Max power system starting last year, which not only greatly improved the propulsion power of Feiyan EX-J, but also
The weapon system on the Feiyan EX-J was modified into a Neomax laser weapon, thereby increasing the destructive power several times. The modified Feiyan EX-J was then deployed on the Victory Condor, which was not currently in operation.
area to enhance the defense capabilities of the area.
As for Feiyan 2, it is in an awkward middle position. It cannot compare with Feiyan 1 in terms of speed, and it cannot compare with Feiyan EX-J in terms of firepower. It is very similar to the composite form of Tiga, so in Feiyan EX-
After the large-scale production and deployment of J, the Feiyan-2 was reduced to an auxiliary aircraft type. That is to say, the Feiyan-2 will be considered as the main fighter only when the Feiyan EX-J is not available.
Even when retrofitting old models with new Max engines, the priority is given to Feiyan EX-J, which has better overall performance, rather than Feiyan 2. Even after the modification of Feiyan EX-J is completed, Feiyan 2
There are no plans to modify the ship, and as of today, it is in a semi-decommissioned state.
Feiyan No. 1—M!
This M——
Chiba Cheng smacked his lips, who said that science and engineering men don't know how to be romantic? Isn't this quite romantic?
Because Horii’s wife Chizuru Horii’s initials are M.
In the name of my wife!
Sure enough, even people who don't understand romance will express their love in their own way once they meet true love.
Just as he was feeling emotional, Chiba Makoto glanced at a folder named GW-02R and asked curiously: "What is this?"
GW-02 obviously means Victory Feiyan No. 2, but didn’t Horii just say that the No. 2 machine has no modification plan and will just be used as a backup and auxiliary machine to be retired after waiting for the new model to come out? Why is it here again?
What about a variant of the R?
"This is a very bold idea, but unfortunately it is not possible to realize it at present," Horii said, opening the folder. Inside was a lot of dazzlingly complex design drawings, but one of them was a rendering made with CG.
But it is very attractive and even more bluffing.
Because it turns out to be a transformable fighter jet.
The prototype is Feiyan 2, but it can be transformed into a robot marked as more than thirty meters tall.
Transforming from a fighter jet to a robot reminded Chiba Makoto of the defense team in the world of Teliga - the Elite Victory Team.
They use a remotely controlled special variant of the drone - the Victory Falcon, which can transform from a fighter jet into a weird-looking robot to fight monsters in the city.
To be precise, it is used as a bait to lure the monsters out of the city so as not to fight in the city. Not to mention being restrained, if you are not careful, it will cause great damage to the city.
When he saw the Victory Condor for the first time, Chiba Makoto was very surprised. He deeply felt the high technology and creativity of TPU, but now...
Chiba Makoto even suspected that the idea of transforming the Victory Condor might have come from this GW-02R. After all, Mitsukuni Shizama, who created TPU, was a 'future man' who accidentally traveled from the Tiga world to Teli.
In the Jia world, and he is also from the Intelligence Bureau, it is not difficult to know the existence of GW-02R.
It is true that when the east is not bright, the west is bright.
The GW-02R can only eat dust in TPC, but in TPU it has become the main fighter.
Horii looked at the design drawings and CG renderings on the screen, and said with regret: "This is what the Kashiwamura team proposed in response to the fact that the cruise of the Feiyan-2 is not as good as the Feiyan-1 and the firepower is not as good as the Feiyan EX-J.
It is a bold improvement idea to maximize the advantage of Feiyan-2's stable structure. Unfortunately, it is too bold and too advanced. Even if it is manufactured, it will not play the expected role."
The official name of the GW-02R is the Variable Fighter, a combat weapon against monsters. It is one of the many "whimsical" ideas created during the TPC restructuring period.
Its design is inspired by Ultraman, because in most cases, Ultraman, who is about the same size as a monster, uses fighting skills to fight against monsters in the city, thereby reducing damage to the surroundings, while human fighter jets
In urban warfare, the role played is far less than that in the wilderness.
The reason is very simple, that is, in the city, you simply don’t dare to use large, powerful and destructive laser cannons. Even the least powerful needle laser cannon must be aimed at it before you dare to use it. This is a huge restriction.
The power of fighter jets.
Therefore, the designers came up with the idea of using huge humanoid combat robots to fight against huge monsters.
This genius idea received support after it was proposed, and the design drawing was completed, but it was rejected during the technical demonstration stage.
The reason is very simple, that is, the strength of the material is not good enough.
The monster waved its hands and kicked its legs casually, and the destructive power was calculated in tens of thousands of tons. As far as the current materials are concerned, it is simply unable to withstand such a terrifying force.
Friends who have worked on Transformers and Super Sentai know that when switching between the two forms, the most important thing to pay attention to is that the parts cannot deform, otherwise it will be easy to get stuck during the transformation, and then become different.
This is why most Transformers run on the ground.
Because if you want to fly in the air, you must first be light, and lightness means weak defense. Therefore, even a fighter jet cannot stop bullets. When fighting on land, the first thing to consider is defense. The armor is powerful.
It's so made that I wish it had three layers inside and three layers outside.
No one's aircraft can be equipped with tank armor, and no one's tanks can even be made to defend against bullets.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! These are two completely different concepts. If they are forcibly put together, they will lead to nothing.
If GW-02R wants to achieve its ideal state, it must use a material that is light in weight, strong in defense, and can withstand a 10,000-ton impact without deforming.
Not to mention hearing about this material, I would never dare to think so in my wildest dreams. Even the vibranium in my imagination cannot meet one percent of this requirement.
As for how outrageous it is, Horii heard a rumor from the medical class, that is, after Kashiwamura's team came out with the drawings, the technical and assembly people cursed on the spot, and the words were quite unpleasant.
Because even with this material, a transformable fighter jet can be created, but with the size of the Feiyan-2, the transformed robot is only about thirty meters tall. This size is generally fifty or sixty meters high for monsters.
, but it’s quite inconspicuous, a half-baked person who can’t even touch the enemy’s shoulder with his raised hand. Why was it made?
Play as a ball for monsters?
"After that, all the data and drawings of GW-02R were sealed. In the words of the designer, it was handed over to the future. Maybe it will be realized one day." Horii said the heavy words in a relaxed tone.
.
A fighter jet, even if it is modified, requires a huge amount of work, not to mention such a "whimsical and unprecedented" transformation, which definitely takes a lot of energy.
Horii knows the frustration of having his hard work denied, so he can sympathize with it.
Chiba Makoto stared at this rendering that was considered to be a self-liberation. As he looked at it, a bolder idea came to his mind. So he raised his head, stared at Horii, and asked: "Horii, have you ever thought about it?"
