Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2438 Dragon Turtle
Zhou Long felt that he had a new body. Even his breath smelled like steel. The beating of his heart was not a pulse, but the graceful flow of energy.

As he began to adapt to his new body, another champion contestant, Xu Xiu, also saw the mecha he designed.

"This 'Dragon Turtle' mecha is 9.2 meters tall, weighs 48 tons in normal conditions, and has a frontal thickness of 650mm. It uses equivalent composite armor, but this is only normalized data...

Based on your design, we develop a new core defense system: honeycomb reactive armor.

It is composed of 1800 independent hexagonal armor unit components. Each unit is equipped with a piezoelectric sensor, which will trigger a local explosion reaction within 0.03 seconds when attacked. It can not only effectively offset the kinetic energy of armor-piercing projectiles, but also allow enemies who are in close combat with the "Dragon Turtle" to experience the pain of the explosion.

In the middle layer of the armor, we designed a magnetorheological fluid buffer layer, which is an intelligent liquid that flows in the armor interlayer. When impacted, you can choose whether to solidify in a short time based on your personal reaction, so as to facilitate the dispersion of local impact force to the entire mecha body frame.

Of course, defense is not limited to these two technologies. We have also developed the 'Iron Curtain Omnidirectional Shield' mounted on the 'Dragon Turtle' mecha. It is powered by an independent energy source on the back and can generate a spherical force field that lasts for 6 seconds. It can resist 900℃ high temperature or direct hits from armor-piercing bullets of other game mechas. It should be noted that this 'Iron Curtain Omnidirectional Shield' is the first time we have applied force field equipment to mechas, so its startup time is relatively slow and consumes a lot of energy..."

Xu Xiu looked at the main mecha in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. "I know. You also communicated with me at that time. This is my choice. The ultimate defense should always have some costs and shortcomings."

The engineer nodded when he heard this, and then continued: "Based on the technical equipment of the 'Iron Curtain Omnidirectional Shield', we also equipped it with a siege shield weapon. After it is deployed, it can form a 4.5×6 meter composite barrier. The shield surface is composed of boron carbide ceramics and depleted uranium sandwich. The central integrated microwave jammer can paralyze guided weapons at medium distances.

In addition, there is a rescue component. The shoulder of the "Xuanwu" is equipped with a repair drone, which can inject rapid solidifying agent to repair armor cracks for the mecha itself or friendly mecha during battles. It can also inject an energy supply to restore some energy to the mecha.

We placed the tactical decoy bombs in the hidden compartments of the legs, which can launch heat source and electromagnetic dual-mode false targets. Under experimental conditions, the interference rate is about 83%. If the interference rate is to be increased, the load of the mecha will have to be increased again, and the energy endurance time will also be reduced, which is not in line with your original design intention. "

"Yes, I know. I am also very grateful that everyone is willing to listen to my nagging. In the already limited reserves, they forcibly set up hidden warehouses in the legs... It didn't even affect the stability and defense values ​​of the legs."

Xu Xiu looked at the more than nine-meter-tall mecha on the operating table with satisfaction in his eyes.

The engineer next to him sighed: "It's not completely without impact, because the legs are designed with hidden compartments, the 'Dragon Turtle' mecha still has some limitations when encountering some special ground traps, and because of the heavy load, its infinite array engine cannot help it fly for a long time, and can only make short-term advances, which is similar to the original generation of Iron Overlord.

After years of research, the size of the machine has only increased, and the number of weapons has increased. If we can make some breakthroughs in material technology, there may be other differences.

I hope you can win the first Global Mech Challenge, and next time we design your own mech, maybe we can help you with that."

After the engineer said this, he took Xu Xiu to the operating room nearby to prepare for the "computer experiment".

However, Xu Xiu was thinking about the hidden meaning of the engineer's words. It was obvious that Jiuzhou Technology had higher-level material technology, and even the military combat mechas above the game mechas must have more outrageous technical materials.

"After the competition, if I don't win the championship, I might be able to apply for a job in the military and experience a higher-level mecha... Well, how could I not win the championship? I don't believe you can fight back after wearing this turtle shell!"

Originally, Xu Xiu had designed many offensive directions for the "Dragon Turtle" mecha, but in order to be able to withstand Zhou Long's unexpected attacks, under the numerical upper limit of the competition mecha, he reduced other attack designs and mainly strengthened the defensive design.

While thinking, Xu Xiu heard the same reminder that Zhou Long had heard not long ago: "Now, please make sure your breathing mask is stable and take a deep breath for one minute..."

After taking the third deep breath, Xu Xiu also experienced the special pain that Zhou Long experienced. This pain that spread from all parts of the body to the heart and brain stem made the young man shout, "Fuck!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xiu fell into a deep sleep.

The engineer looked at Xu Xiu's various dynamic indicators of his body and thought to himself: "I wonder who will win in the end between the Dragon Turtle and the Dragon Spine..." Then he pressed the button to start the program.

As the R&D and manufacturing team of gaming mechas, each engineering team has its own "project".

The contestants only proposed the design direction and the main tendency of mecha combat, and at most drew some design sketches. Only these engineering teams using the resources of the mecha department can transform this abstract concept into a real mecha.

And because of Gu Qing's emphasis, they must "tailor-make" for each contestant in order to allow the contestants to have a closer connection with their mechas and stimulate their nerves and genes.

Those military trade versions of mechas are not so customized because they are purchased as a complete set and in packages.

It was precisely because of Gu Qing's decision that the engineering team in the mecha department believed that their CEO Gu might have some scoring considerations for mecha design and research and development.

In order to achieve a good result in front of their boss, Mr. Gu, the engineers including Lin Zhong sincerely wished that the contestants they were responsible for could become the champions of the first competition.

Zhou Long and Xu Xiu, as the favorites to win the championship, their customized mechas naturally have a considerable degree of technical superiority.

At this time, other contestants were also "meeting" their semi-final mechas one after another.
