Numbered sy-9, a huge cosmic laboratory near the planet Ailansiris is using its own rotation to simulate huge gravity.
Its huge annular living cabin does not rotate very fast. Because of its huge size, it does not need and cannot rotate quickly.
The sun's rays shine through the already large-scale Dyson sphere sun umbrella panel and shine on this super-large man-made space laboratory, reflecting gray-white light.
The flashing profile lights were like breathing, and the huge golden eagle emblem slowly rotated to the place where the sunlight could shine, emerging from the darkness bit by bit, full of majesty.
Within the thick shell, under the protection of two layers of airtight cabins, in a huge office, an engineer in a white coat pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at the data on the monitor with a serious expression on his face.
With the current technology of the Elanhir Empire, myopia is actually no longer an incurable disease, but many people are still accustomed to wearing glasses because the auxiliary functions of glasses provide many conveniences.
It can project a lot of information and can also provide the function of a headset, so it is a "pendant" for many technicians and is very convenient to use.
Of course, part of the reason is that wearing glasses can make unconfident tech geeks more comfortable. They are used to protecting themselves behind masks, and glasses can provide psychological hints in this regard.
To put it bluntly, if you are not handsome enough, wearing glasses as a decoration on your face can make up for the disadvantage of small eyes and a flat nose, and improve your overall image.
And if you are a handsome guy... nonsense! A handsome guy is still a handsome guy if he wears glasses, and he is still a handsome guy even if he is bald. Is there anything to discuss about this?
"Now it seems that there is something wrong with the idea of using a large number of thrusters in the universe." Behind him, a beautiful female engineer leaned down and said after seeing the series of data.
Grabbing the bitter tea in front of him and blowing the hot air floating on it, the engineer with glasses agreed without looking back: "Yes, instead of installing thrusters in all directions, it gives the fighter jets more powerful maneuverability.
, it’s better to choose a simpler way.”
The female engineer stood up, put the tablet in her hand on the table curiously, and repeated what her male colleague had just said: "A simpler way?"
"Remember UIPA?" The male engineer took a sip of bitter tea and felt refreshed. He then tapped twice on the keyboard and brought up a set of old information: "I think this outdated atmosphere has
You can still try weapons."
"Of course I remember, that outdated...wait...you mean?" The female engineer frowned, seeming to realize something, and looked at the data about uipa on the screen with some anticipation.
In fact, when the Uipa-1 individual power armor of the Eilanhir Empire was designed, it was prepared to replace tanks and become the king of land battles.
Compared with tanks, it is more flexible, can fly for short periods, and has higher tactical execution capabilities. However, compared with tanks, its shortcomings are too obvious.
The first is that the target is too large and is easily attacked by concentrated firepower from the enemy. Sadly, apart from adding energy defense such as a magic defense barrier, it has no way to increase its defense by increasing its armor thickness.
At the same time, due to its defensive disadvantages, the uipa-1, which can only emphasize mobility, can only choose a main weapon with weak firepower. The obvious gap in caliber makes it less effective than a tank in terms of firepower.
These disadvantages also made uipa-1 a useless land weapon. It eventually stopped development and was handed over to second-line troops or buried in weapons arsenals.
But it has to be said that uipa-1 still has some technologies that are worthy of study. Today's main battlefield between the Airansil Empire and the Watchers is no longer on the surface. The difference between the space environment and the earth's surface makes the engineers of the Airanshil Empire
, re-realized the technical advantages of uipa-1.
"That's right! The idea of uipa-1 is completely outdated from the ground... But if you take this idea to the universe, it seems to become interesting." The male engineer pointed to the figure on the computer screen.
The huge humanoid mecha spoke.
The female engineer thought for a few seconds and put forward her own point of view: "But the problem is that we have no way to compress the power system, and installing thrusters on a huge humanoid mecha is not a good choice."
"But it provides us with a development idea, an idea that can improve maneuverability! Controlling a fighter jet... is much more difficult than controlling your own body." The male engineer admitted that the other party's view had some truth, but still insisted on his own.
Viewpoint.
"Actually, I have a lot of data to support my point of view... Look!" He said, pointing to the humanoid mecha on the computer monitor, and introduced: "First of all, because of the soul connection technology, Uipa's reaction speed,
It’s much better than a joystick, and it’s more in line with operating habits.”
"Secondly!" He continued pointing to all the marked joints of the humanoid mecha and said to the female engineer: "Because of the puppet robot technology, we can save a lot of weight and volume in joint technology..."
Compared with installing attitude engines in all directions, relying on joints and flexible limbs to reduce the number of attitude engines and taking advantage of joint technology can allow the new uipa technology to achieve the dual advantages of saving internal space and reducing weight in the universe.
.
The advantage of reducing weight in space is not obvious, but saving internal space can carry more fuel, which has many advantages for space fighters.
Because the redundant attitude engines occupy the internal space of the fighter jet, there are also design constraints. If you want to share a common energy source, these attitude engines must be connected.
You don’t have to worry about these problems in human form. As long as you adjust your limbs, you can gain propulsion capabilities in all directions...
After he finished speaking, he compared it with the space fighter currently used by the Airan Hill Empire: "Because there is no gravity and resistance in space, the humanoid does not have to worry about the obstruction of the atmosphere, and it does not suffer from speed..."
"What you said makes sense." Touching her chin, the female engineer also understood the essence of this design: "Flying in space is like diving and swimming. As long as you master the essentials, the reaction speed of the equipment may be improved.
Quite a few..."
"Moreover, once a humanoid is made, the training cost may be reduced a lot." She patted her colleague on the shoulder and said, "Compile the data, enter it into the computer, do the calculations, and see the data comparison results!"
"No problem, let's have dinner together tonight?" Finally, the male engineer got to the point.
"No time, sorry." The female engineer flipped her curly hair and answered very simply, with a sincere smile on her face.
