Chapter 1578: V. Conversation of the prayer (21)

"Lift up, raise up, good, let down, good..."
"The bracket is fixed and locked...locked."
"There is no abnormality in horizontal balance."
"There is no abnormality in the system self-test, start to leave."
"The crew is off and the system shuts down."
As the yellow indicator lights turned red, the Gennacuri sergeants finally breathed a sigh of relief, a pot of fire extinguishers was put back in place, and the axe and knife were also put away.
"Really, it's just the running-in test of the new machine. Is it necessary to exaggerate?"
Pulling out of the heavy armor, "Nightingale" flicked his hair, turned his face to look at the scene as if the street gang attempted to fight, and sighed for a long time.
"That's because the little girl you haven't experienced the early development period, believe me, as long as you spend a month in a building that will explode every day, you will definitely feel that this is not safe enough."
The technical lieutenant Tim threw a towel to the "Nightingale", the bearded dwarf turned his head and turned his compassionate gaze towards the "armor", and his complex emotions exclaimed.
"At present, it can only be regarded as a solution to the basic problem, and it is still very early to improve."
"Republic... The first batch of MDS officially listed in the human camp, RX-V1 ‘Barbarian’.

Seemingly touched, "Nightingale" also groaned in general.
After a brutal war, the Charlemagne learned three things from the elves: how to be a good man, how to cut potatoes, and how to fight.
The Charlemagne who remained in the homeland learned how to be loyal fourth-class citizens of the empire. The soldiers in the prisoner of war camps began to cut potatoes and learn how to survive under the rule of the empire. Overseas leaders, soldiers and technicians Start to reflect on all aspects and sum up the experience and lessons of this war.
Summary and reflection are quite thorough, from national strategy to military strategy and tactics, to technological development. The result is desperate, even the most optimistic estimate-that is, the empire has been standing still in its place-at least 150 years to see the back of the empire.
Obviously, the empire will not stand still, nor will it leave the Republic and the countries so long. How to grow up to the maximum before the time point set by the empire, with the most basic ability to delay and even disrupt the pace of the empire, is the highest priority for the Republic and the nations. And the fastest shortcut is to imitate the empire and close the gap by imitating everything and copycat empire.
Speaking of course, this is a process that all backward countries will go through. It is always easier and faster to move along the footsteps of the predecessors than to cross the river by touching stones. Do not believe in looking at the rise of a great power in another world. Which of Germany, Japan, and a lighthouse cooks a lighthouse, which has not passed the crown of the cottage kingdom? The cottage itself is not a big deal, but it is a means. The key is whether To achieve the goal, that is to learn and master in the process of imitation, and finally establish your own system.
Attempts by the republic and the nations in this area... In the best way, it is also "encountered an unsolvable barrier", and it is not a certain item.
A long time ago, Roland predicted that "people who only accept the technology of the consortium will suffer sooner or later," and now this prediction has become a reality. For a long time, people have only passively accepted the various technologies outflowed from Yalfheim. Part of the technology can barely explain the principle. Most of the people only know how to operate. If there is a fault, they can flip out the operation manual, follow the above steps to disassemble the parts, and then pull out the various packages wrapped in oil paper from the packaging box. Replacement of various spare parts.
In the face of knowing the technology, not knowing why, or even knowing why, people can only make unremarkable copies even if they are copied.
For example, in the process of mapping and imitation of the semi-automatic carbine 7.92㎜ empire of the Imperial system, the technicians of the Republic suddenly found that their metallurgical technology could not even make a firing pin of a gun that can continuously shoot 100 rounds. If the finished product is hand-made by senior technicians, it can support more than one hundred rounds, but this will increase the cost and reduce the output. From the perspective of large-scale equipment, there is still no value.
It's the same with imitation of a rifle, not to mention the MDS that combines the cutting-edge technology of the empire.
To be honest, at the beginning, the imitation of MDS was not on the timetable of the Republic within ten years. Even in the 20-year planning table, there is only exploration and preliminary research.
After all, the Republic wants to develop its own MDS, and the only objects that can be referenced are Roland's "Unicorn" and Favna's "Dendrobium". In terms of "imitation starting objects", this starting point is too high. It's like having a toddler baby imitate how the world champion of the 100-meter race flies.
"Unicorn" is a very advanced body, even on the empire side is also a powerful candidate for the next generation of MDS.
But being too advanced means that there are more black box areas that are difficult to understand and cannot even get started. The correct approach should be to accumulate technology while trying to slowly research and analyze the various puzzles contained in the "unicorn". If all goes well, you should be able to see a certain degree of results in 20 years.
However, time does not wait for others, and the Empire will not give opponents a chance.
"Legion".
Shouting
My generation is a group, we are numerous
, a large army of undead machinery, in one fell swoop overcame the chronic shortage of imperial soldiers, facing the endless steel army without fear of death, all traditional military doctrine and technology overnight Have become outdated. In the face of the imminent threat, the Republic and the countries, in addition to accelerating the ongoing weapons research and development projects, also officially put the MDS research and development on the table.
This is really helpless.
Faced with the dual advantages of the performance and quantity of the "Legion", countries suddenly found themselves facing the dilemma that the elf camp once faced-lack of troops.
The future war will inevitably be an unprecedented brutal and mad overall battle. The essence of the overall battle is to consume and mobilize all resources that can be put into battle. As a combat resource consumed in front-line battles, the standing army will soon be destroyed in a brutal war of attrition, requiring the elderly, children, women...the day when all those who can breathe with weapons on the battlefield will come soon. These old, weak women and children who are not trained are destined to be exhausted at a faster rate, and when these people also disappear in the war, the country, the nation, the territory-everything will no longer exist.
Even just to delay the coming of destruction, it is necessary to improve the combat effectiveness and survival rate of soldiers-under this slogan that has not been able to tell whether it is rational or crazy, countries have launched their own MDS research and development. Because of the ready-made references and the relatively complete technical system, the Republic's progress is the most advanced. However, the entire R&D process is still difficult, and sometimes even has a life.
The first problem they encountered was motivation.
The Imperial MDS uses Tianjing, which can store various spells and manas, and can also serve as a power source. The Republic has not established a system for mass production of Tianjing, and it is still in the process of exploring a stable and standardized technique input technology. The most important thing is how to carry out the linkage between the surgical methods after a large number of surgical methods are input, and how to start in sequence in the face of various situations-that is, the so-called program writing, which is almost blank. . So after careful consideration and analysis of the wreckage of the "Legion", they decided to use steam power...
The technicians of the Republic are not mad, nor are they avid steampunk enthusiasts, and when it comes to power, they immediately think of boiling water. They will choose steam as the power source, and it should be said that they focus on the actual choices.
First of all, the old Charlemagne Kingdom and the Republic are relatively thorough in steam technology. Compared with those advanced technologies that cannot be understood and practical, steam power technology has a lower starting point and relatively smaller technical risks. Secondly, steam power is more powerful than most people think. Until the realization of controlled nuclear fusion power generation technology, boiling water is still the most effective method of power generation (nuclear power generation is actually the use of nuclear fusion or fission heat to heat a steam boiler, using high temperature The high-pressure steam drives the generator turbine to generate electricity, which is essentially boiled water.) What kind of green power generation and power generation with love is not even in the face of boiling water. Finally, by dismantling the wreckage of the legion, it is proved that it is completely feasible to use air pressure to boost the movement of the body. It can be said that this is the closest possible implementation option.
But when this seemingly easiest option is actually done, it immediately turns out to be completely infeasible.
The biggest problem with using steam as a power source for individual mobile equipment such as MDS is heat dissipation.
That's high-temperature and high-pressure steam. Even if the driver wears thermal protective clothing, the steam lines all over the body still release heat at all times, and the casing they put on is just a metal with excellent thermal conductivity... people wear it Is this a battle on the front line, or is it used for torture? Even a strong man with excellent endurance and excellent physical fitness will experience dehydration and heat stroke symptoms for up to 20 minutes when wearing such a set of things~EbookFREE.me~ More than one You can smell the scent of teppanyaki in hours...
The second problem is that this stuff is very crispy, and there will be problems in a dozen.
Although various steam pipelines are hidden under the armor, in order to maintain mobility, the average thickness of the armor is only 3㎜, the thickest is only 10㎜, which means that ordinary rifles equipped with steel core bullets may penetrate this layer of crispy skin protection. Large-caliber machine guns are able to shoot through the target without any suspense at all distances and angles. As for the fragments of grenades and mortar shells, it may not necessarily penetrate the armor, but the strong shock wave and shrapnel impact may cause the armor and the underlying pipeline to be deformed and broken. The former is better. The most is that the mechanism is stuck and cannot move. . If the latter case leaks to the outside, it may burn people around. If high temperature and high pressure steam leaks to the inside of the body, it will be cooked in up to five minutes.
A large group of "locomotives" braved the steam and charged towards the enemy forces during the whistle of the whistle and the cry of the people. At this time, the enemy shot a shotgun barrage. After the storm of scattered steel balls, the battlefield sounded like a nose. The wailing screams from the bottom of hell, five minutes later the battlefield overflowed with a fragrance like steamed meat...
As long as the brain is okay, and does not want to be "trick" by the angry soldier, no one will produce this kind of thing to the soldier.
