Peach Blossom Gorge Base.
Chen Shi and Zhang Qian sat in the conference room, drinking tea and whispering to each other.
The young people in the office did not attend today. Instead, a few experts in the field of materials came and sat there with different attitudes.
Elder Yan walked in quickly, followed by a sweaty Zhao Xin. Elder Yan waved his hand when he saw everyone stand up. "Everyone, sit down. Don't stand on ceremony. I'm here today to solve the problem. There's no need to be polite."
After sitting down, Zhao Xin, who had just rushed over, didn't have time to wipe her sweat. She drank three glasses of water in one go before stopping.
She was originally busy outside and rushed back when she heard Elder Yan's urgent notice.
She hadn't even caught her breath yet!
Elder Yan didn't care about this. He frowned and looked at Chen Shi. "Director Chen, we already know about the problem you have. The most important thing now is how to solve it. You are the professionals. You should give us the best advice. Also, the experts in the field of materials. We need your professional evaluation. "
"The experts in the field of materials can speak first!" Chen Shi and Zhang Qian looked at each other and gave the opportunity to the experts.
"We admit that there is still a gap in the materials, especially the alloy part of the protective armor. We need to readjust the plan …" An old military man wearing glasses picked up a list of materials and handed it to Elder Yan.
"This is your plan?" Elder Yan looked at it and didn't say anything.
Although he was not a professional, he could see that this new plan was worlds apart from the previous one.
Another middle-aged man also stood up and handed in a material report. "I don't know what the original formula of the alloy is, but we might as well buy it from the other party instead of trying to figure it out. Everyone knows that if you want to decipher the alloy formula, it might take a year or two or even longer without basic data. If the other party is willing to take out his alloy formula, we can buy it. If he wants to apply for a patent, we can also pay a certain amount of patent fees. Then, according to the formula, we can invest and quantitatively produce this special alloy with super high hardness and super toughness. In short, as long as we have the formula, everything will be fine. Without the formula, it will be too slow for us to figure it out. We can only buy it at a high price. There is no other way. "
Another expert with a Mediterranean hairstyle expressed his opinion. "Chief Yan, Chief Zhao, and everyone else in the industry, my opinion is to change the material. This kind of special alloy should be dug out bit by bit in the laboratory, so it's impossible to quantify it. Even if it's achieved, it would be unacceptably expensive. "
Zhao Xin's face darkened.
Exchanging for materials?
If it was possible to change materials, would it still be the same mecha that Lin Dong had originally designed?
"I don't agree to change the material. If it's as you said and we change it to the alloy steel or titanium alloy in your report, then the overall weight will increase by 50% to 70%. There's no need to discuss this figure at all. Unless you're a madman, you wouldn't use such a large overflow figure to start a project." An expert disagreed.
"Why not redesign it? You have to know that all the works are actually modified. "The expert with the Mediterranean hairstyle snorted.
"Redesign. Easy for you to say."
"Yes, our current task is to follow this standard. If we change it again, it'll be a mess."
"If we don't make the slightest change, it's impossible to achieve mass production. I personally think that we still have to change."
"I also support redesign. From the perspective of materials science, the design drawings aren't very scientific. There are many parts that we don't quite understand and the instructions are very vague. Some functions are too general, and some complicated parts can be simplified. At the same time, there are many cumbersome parts that need to be removed. We have to walk on solid ground. If the material isn't up to standard, no matter how beautiful the design is, it's equivalent to zero. I'm not targeting your design team, but we have to respect the objective reality. Maybe in ten or twenty years, we can reach the mass production standard, or even this target. But now, we can't! This is the objective reality, and we have to face it rationally. "
The meeting that was destined to be fruitless went on for more than an hour.
The experts were arguing.
All kinds of opinions.
All kinds of terminology and data were thrown out.
Elder Yan's head was filled with the terminology and data listed by the experts. He felt dizzy listening to them.
The experts' arguments were clear and logical, but if they really did it, there was nothing they could do. Some people said that they wanted to buy this new type of alloy from the designer. They could also cooperate to mass produce it and use it in other aspects of the military. Some people said that the alloy couldn't be quantified and had to be replaced with another material. They even gave examples of a certain alloy developed by their research institute that was very suitable. Some people objected to the entire composition, saying that this kind of design was actually not reasonable and needed to be redesigned …
There were all kinds of opinions, but there was no solution to the problem.
Elder Yan could only wave his hand and announce the end of today's meeting. He asked the experts to leave first.
Chen Shi and Zhang Qian stayed. Elder Yan wanted to hear their opinions. It was impossible to redesign, and changing the material was also a joke. As for buying it? Where could they buy it? Elder Yan didn't know what method Lin Dong used to make the mecha, but it definitely wasn't a conventional method.
"Chief, our opinion is like this." Chen Shi didn't speak because he had his own thoughts in his heart. "According to the current materials and the level of our military production, it seems impossible to replicate it exactly. The clone that we made previously, not to mention being able to fight on the battlefield, couldn't even move. If it moved, the entire mecha would be destroyed. I didn't know that the difference was so big until we made the clone. Only then did I realize that we made a big joke. I'll give you an example. The mecha that Chief Xiao Lin developed, if compared to the plane, is equivalent to our current J-20. But in terms of our materials, we are still in the primitive era of wood and skin during World War I. What we need to do now is not to immediately launch the J-20, but to let Chief Xiao Lin design a new propeller-type plane for us. Don't even think about the jet type. The materials are too far behind and can't keep up at all. "
"Is the difference that big?" Elder Yan was shocked when he heard this.
"Maybe it's even bigger than the difference I'm talking about!" Chen Shi nodded very seriously.
"If we change the materials, I'll use the plane as an example. Even if we have the mecha core provided by Chief Xiao Lin, it will at most be at the level of the World War I Fokker DR · 1. This is very far from our goal. We at least want the famous Hellcat or Mustang from the World War II era. Then, we can accumulate technology and look forward to the future. We can slowly progress and look forward to the J-7, J-10. The antique Fokker DR · 1 of World War I is not what we want. We already have the mecha core. This is our biggest advantage, a huge advantage. While other countries are still trying to develop it and have not had time to successfully build a plane to fly in the sky, we have to take big strides quickly, walk in front of the world, and seize this opportunity! "Chen Shi continued to explain with examples.
"If replication is impossible, then we should indeed act quickly and not waste any more time." Elder Yan made a decision in his heart.
"The problem is, we just found Student Lin Dong. It's only been a few days. If we go and disturb him again, will it …" Zhao Xin smiled bitterly. He was really afraid that he would be kicked out by Lin Dong as soon as he entered the door.
"I'll go this time. I'll put down my old face." Elder Yan was also ashamed. The problem was that without Lin Dong, it would not work.
His subordinates were not good enough.
There was no other way.
In the Great House of Ke.
Elder Yan and Zhao Xin who came were very lucky to meet Cheng Mingge who came out of the House of the Falling Stars to deal with work outside.
Cheng Mingge saw that they came in a hurry and thought it was something urgent. He quickly returned to the House of the Falling Stars and called out Lin Dong who was "cultivating in seclusion".
When Lin Dong came out and heard it, he felt a little strange.
Rabbit was a dignified country. If it was said that complete replication was not possible, then it was not a big deal. But they could not even produce similar materials? This was a little unbelievable! Was the domestic technology really that bad?
"It's not that our materials are not advanced enough. Of course, this is also one aspect. In fact, according to your design standards, there is no material in the world that can meet the requirements. The United States has better materials, but it doesn't mean that they can be used. We also have good materials, but these are two different things. Good does not mean suitable! In addition to materials, we are also lacking in other aspects, such as electricity conversion, electromagnetism, and steam components. There are many aspects that we do not have enough technology to digest. So our current idea is, can you design a simple mecha for us? A mecha that we can manufacture now. Once we're done practicing and have accumulated enough skills, we'll slowly move up step by step. " Chen Shi also came. He was now standing in front of Lin Dong with more respect than an ancient disciple facing his master. In fact, he also regarded Lin Dong as his own mentor.
"If that's the case!" Lin Dong was deep in thought.
"It doesn't have to be too profound. We just need to develop a mecha that can walk and be operated by soldiers, and we will already be at the forefront of the world." Chen Shi said again.
"Don't rush, we have time. You can take your time to think about it. We are not in a hurry." Elder Yan was afraid that staying too long would affect Lin Dong's research. He was ready to go back and slowly wait for the news. But before he turned around, Lin Dong called out to them.
He had already understood the Ancient Mechanism Secret Art Intermediate Unique Art. He did not need to consider the rules of forbidding martial arts in the arena. If he could install the Scorpion's consciousness as the core driver, it would be too easy to design a mecha. With just a thought, Lin Dong thought about it. He asked Elder Yan and the others to stay and wait on the sofa. Then, he asked Xiao Yuanlian to take out a pen and paper in the study and started drawing.
Chen Shi's jaw dropped to the ground. His eyes were so wide that they almost broke his glasses.
What kind of genius was this?!
He was racking his brains in the office, but he did not know where to start in the face of a perfect design … This Chief Xiao Lin, on the other hand, did it so casually.
Lin Dong drew for a long time.
He didn't just draw one Mech, but several.
"How about this! I will first list the grades, and you will understand easily. If the experimental mecha that I first designed was classified as an A-class mecha, then this mecha would be a D-class practical mecha. According to what Chief Chen said, it is almost equivalent to the World War II Jet or Hurricane propeller planes. Then, this is a D-grade elite practical combat mecha. It is equivalent to the Mustang P-51 that you mentioned. It is considered the peak of the D-grade! And this is a C-grade practical combat mecha. It is equivalent to the first generation of jet vampires and sabers! This is a C-grade elite practical combat mecha. It is considered a J-6! Then, these two are a B-grade all-purpose combat mecha and a B-grade super ace all-purpose combat mecha. They are equivalent to the J-7 and F16 respectively! I will add various data indicators. You can take it back and look at it slowly! " Lin Dong felt that the last few might be a little difficult, but the D-grade practical combat mecha should not be a problem.
"…" Chen Shi took the design blueprint and was stunned for a long time. He could not wake up from the shock. That was it? Was it really that simple?
