Lan Nuo has always been very aware of the fact that the actual combat value of mechas is far inferior to that of tanks. The structure of two legs is far more complicated than five pairs of road wheels. Complexity means that on the battlefield
Easily damaged, which means higher costs in the factory.
The individual performance of such a product may be higher, but on a battlefield where there is often a torrent of steel, the effect will be greatly reduced.
So even though mechas are a man's romance, Lan Nuo reluctantly excluded them from the main battle equipment in the end.
Although the mecha is very flexible, on the battlefield, its standing posture is far more likely to attract firepower than a flat tank lying on the ground. Unless it is a street battle in a city with complex terrain and there are many high-rise buildings as bunkers, otherwise
It is difficult for mechas to take advantage of their own advantages.
Therefore, this product, which looks extremely cool but has many weaknesses, has become a foreign trade product that Xinhuo camp has invested a lot of resources in developing.
On the one hand, foreign trade means that a large amount of benefits will be generated, driving developers to actively carry out technological iterations. This is also an important reason why many civilian technologies in modern technology have higher technological content than military technologies. No matter how much benefits the military can provide
, nor can it compare with the benefits brought by the huge market of smartphones.
The high-speed technological iteration can make up for the weaknesses in mecha combat effectiveness with the degree of mobility. The improved engineering technology can be used in the development of new tank weapons. Although the technological level is lower, in terms of design concept, the flat tank
, whether it is on the frontal battlefield or long-distance maneuvering, it is much stronger.
Their cannon barrels are the same thickness, and their sighting systems are equally powerful. In a head-to-head duel, the competition is to see whose shells can penetrate the opponent's armor first. The mecha must maintain its human shape, which means that they are all in front of the tank.
The tank's thick sloping armor, or even a large number of external reactive armor and composite armor, will make the mecha's little water pipe helpless.
Of course, all these comparisons are based on similar technological levels. Using equipment from science fiction movies to crush main battle tanks is another matter.
All in all, as a foreign trade product, the most important thing about a mecha is not its strength, but its coolness!
Not only should it be cool, but it should also provide various customized services and be specially designed according to the buyer's martial arts spirit.
A real man will fight Zaku! But that real man can really withstand the temptation of Gundam!
Lan Nuo piloted the mecha and began a series of mechanical performance tests. The first was the simplest walking. The balance correction of the thunder element puppet made the mecha that would have fallen after just a few steps become very easy to control.
On the side, Decepticon One watched the mecha walking with satisfaction, as if he saw the Decepticons about to rule the earth. It is our duty to revive the glory of Cybertron!
"Take two steps!" Decepticon One shouted loudly.
"Come out and make a fuss!"
"Go a thousand miles in a day!"
“It’s like walking out of a different world!”
Lan Nuo: "..."
"Pull out all his teeth! They're the same as me! They're all inlaid with fucking gold! Oh... he has no teeth! That's okay!"
Although there are Decepticons causing trouble here, the test of the mecha is still very successful. Walking and running are very stable. After the test, the wear and tear of the joints and mechanical muscles were evaluated. The engineers concluded that the high-speed speed within fifty kilometers
During the march, the mecha will basically not have any mechanical failures. As for longer distances, it is best to use a dragon beast to transport it to the battlefield.
"Next, let's test more complex movements." Lan Nuo boarded the mecha again. He was the only one present who was suitable for testing the mecha, because this thing was designed for soul masters, and most of the engineers who made it
They are not soul masters.
Lan Nuo boarded the mecha, ran forward, and tried a forward somersault. Although he succeeded, the mecha was too big and too heavy, causing some damage to the arm position. This was due to material science.
The problem is that when only key parts can be made of rare metals, with the current steel smelting technology, it is basically the limit to achieve this level.
"Well... I'll try the rolling tactical action again." After Lan Nuo finished speaking, he used the fence of the field as a bunker and tried this action. Compared with the front flip, this action did not cause any damage, but the mecha
A layer of paint was scratched off the casing.
"Is there any soul guide that automatically applies paint? If it can be developed, it would be best to install it. We are going to sell these things to soul masters. If they are on the battlefield for three minutes, the paint will be scraped off.
If not, then it’s not a cool futuristic style, but a wasteland style, and that’s not okay!”
Although the engineers who designed this thing can't drive themselves, they also agree with this suggestion. Whether it is strong or not is a matter of version, and whether it is handsome or not is a matter of life. When they designed this thing, they already had this thing in mind.
The flashy psychological expectation is to make it as cool as possible.
As an expert in materials science and mechanical engineering at the Spark Camp, Smith made a suggestion: "If you want to allow the paint to recover automatically, the cost of using a soul guide is too high, and the structure is complex and unstable.
For this aspect, my suggestion is to use biomass coating. I know that there is a special kind of fungi that can feed on metal elements, and will produce different colors depending on the different metals they eat. They corrode metal at a faster rate
It is very slow and basically no faster than rust. It is a paint that can repair itself."
"Okay! Just use this! It doesn't matter if the actual combat ability is slightly weakened. We must ensure that our mechas are cool enough on the battlefield! Anyway, the soul masters are driving this thing, and they are fighting soul masters one on one, and they don't have to face steel.
They can’t tell what the performance disadvantages of Torrent are.”
Lan Nuo and a group of unscrupulous engineers began to make various adjustments to the mecha they designed. Based on the principle that handsomeness is a lifetime thing, they mostly designed it in the direction of luxury cars.
"Since you don't require any actual combat ability, let this guy do a dance and test his performance!" After Decepticon One was beaten by the mecha, he still refused to change. I heard that the mecha didn't
Focusing on performance, I suddenly felt that my hope of reviving Cybertron civilization was gone, and I immediately made fun of him.
"Just jump, I'm afraid of you!"
Decepticon No. 1: "The vast horizon is my love~ The flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills~ What kind of rhythm is..."
Bang!
Lan Nuo rushed over, taking advantage of the size advantage of his mecha, and kicked Decepticon One into the pile of scrap parts. Just dance, who the hell are you disgusting with square dancing!
"That kick just now was very cool!" Howard, the founder of soul guidance technology, saw Lan Nuo kicking No. 1 away, and an idea suddenly came to his mind: "I suddenly had an idea! Since this thing is a commodity
, then we don’t need open source! There is already a big technical gap between various disciplines outside and us, and they can’t even figure out the operating mode of the mecha we made on their own.
If this is the case, then we can definitely package some special-kill skills into it! These special-kill skills are the regular functions of the mecha, but we can design it so that it can only be used after paying a certain price, or purchase special types of nails.
to be able to unlock it.
In this way, soul masters who have purchased low-end mechas can come to us to pay and unlock new special moves after they have more money!
These special moves do not require them to actively use them. They only need to release them with one click and then be responsible for fine-tuning during the release process. It is much simpler than controlling the mecha by yourself, isn't it?"
Lan Nuo: "..."
He felt that Howard had been with him for a long time and seemed to be suitable to be hung on a street lamp. What the hell, besides Howard, do you also have a surname called Stark?
Lan Nuo imagined for a moment the scene of a soul master fighting in a mecha. A man yelled "Fire Cloud Art", controlled the mecha, and released a ball of fire. His opponent immediately ejected the blade on the mecha's arm.
With a loud shout, Jackfruit slashed and chopped the fireball into pieces in a spiral motion. Just as he was about to finish off his opponent, a third party suddenly appeared and launched a Nine-Heaven Thunder Kick at the two of them, knocking them all over...
This style of painting is simply unbearable to look at...but why does it feel a bit touching?
"Okay! That's it! Help me think about it, what cool moves are there? Let's lock the upper limit of the mecha's normal output, and only turn on more power when it has local skills. This will give them
There is an illusion that after turning on the skill, the attack power will increase. Otherwise, if it is just a set of actions, even if it is very cool, the combat effect is too poor, not many people will buy it.
As long as the mecha's normal power is lowered, those seemingly flashy moves can be made very powerful!"
Howard, who had just come up with this idea, was dumbfounded by Lan Nuo's cool operation. He could only sigh in his heart, it's so damn dark! Compared with the other party, the awareness of making street lamp pendants by himself is really inferior.
However, Lan Nuo's proposal did not allow these black-hearted engineers to open up their minds and brainstorm ideas.
"I think we can design a leveling system for mechas, which is a system that upgrades by killing monsters, practicing and upgrading, and charging money to upgrade. Every time you upgrade to a level, you unlock part of the power of the mecha and improve some of its attributes." Smith followed.
Lanno's ideas make suggestions.
His suggestion made everyone more interested, and someone else suggested:
"You can also unlock a skill or a soul guide for free every ten levels. We can also sell mecha peripherals. Even if the level is insufficient, installing peripherals can unlock skills and improve certain attributes!"
"Yes, yes! Different mechas have different level caps! The higher the level cap, the more expensive the mechas are!"
Lan Nuo: "..."
Good guys! You are all self-taught and self-taught! This is it! You are all a capitalist!
Just as Lan Nuo was carefully recording these very constructive opinions, Howard suddenly said: "Do you think our current model is particularly similar to the cultivation and upgrading of soul masters?
The soul master continues to upgrade his level, and every time he reaches ten levels, he can obtain a skill. This skill can be used with just a thought. The soul master only needs to make fine adjustments. Isn't it similar to our skills?
Then we have six peripheral slots, and every time we install a soul bone, we can improve some attributes and gain a new skill."
As Howard was talking, he suddenly found that the engineers who had been discussing it so enthusiastically just now gradually became colder, not because his idea was unrealistic, but because it was really possible.
The soul master is so similar to the Black Heart Mecha they just discussed!
Lan Nuo felt the deepest, because his soul skills are the most unscientific. If you look at conspiracy theories, there is a high probability that his situation will be like Truman's.
"Let's continue the discussion. This is just a guess. We can't verify it in a short time. Soul masters have existed for tens of thousands of years. Even if there is any problem, it has been a problem for thousands of years.
We can't solve it, and it won't be our turn to worry in a short time." Lan Nuo comforted everyone:
"No matter what, if we use the soul master's tricks on mechas, we will definitely make a lot of money!"
The last sentence immediately revitalized the scene. Making money is something that no one wants to think about. Engineers like them, watching Darling Chen and other sellers make money with soul tools, become rich and wealthy, everyone is envious and jealous.
In terms of knowledge and technology, people like me are so much better than those who sell air conditioners, refrigerators, and hot pots. Why can't others make money while they can't?
"Okay! Let me summarize everyone's thoughts! We need to upgrade the system, and also upgrade the system to obtain skills, as well as the peripherals of the mecha, and the skills that can be unlocked by charging money!
These are no problem, but if we want to realize these, we still need an operation interface, such as a screen. It is impossible for a soul master to perceive his own mecha level in the same way as he perceives his own soul power level.
As for the screen, for us, it lacks a bit of technical foundation. You can also use the instrument panel, but the quality is too low. My suggestion is to still follow the technical route of spiritual language and directly project the level system in the field of vision.
.
In addition, since we have set a technical route with handsome as the core, it is best to let others see the level of the mecha.
Just like a soul master, a few soul rings equal dozens of levels. It is clear at a glance. My suggestion is to add light wings to the mecha. Every time it reaches level 20, add a pair of light wings. Use the length of the light wings to distinguish those within level 20.
The level of four pairs of long light wings is level 80, four pairs of long light wings and one short is level 90, and five pairs of long light wings is level 100.
The color of the light wing represents the quality of the skill. My suggestion is to still use six colors: white, yellow, purple, black, red, and gold. This is more intuitive. Black light is more difficult to do. Please think about the technical ideas!"
