Chapter 15 [Boxer] Test
"So it seems we need to design our own chip? Or rather, our own computer?"
Several options flashed through Jiang Chen's mind in an instant.
If an unmanned version is produced, it will be controlled by Jarvis's 'subroutines', eliminating the need for human pilots. This would save space in the cockpit, allowing for the placement of a computer.
Moreover, considering the size of this space, it can barely fit a small to medium-sized server, so its capacity is still quite considerable.
As long as the computing power is sufficient, Jarvis's 'subroutines' can control each 'Boxer' even without a network, making each 'Boxer' an individual with self-thinking, friend-or-foe abilities, and so on, no different from a real person driving it.
In fact, their abilities might even surpass those of ordinary human drivers.
"Let's test the performance parameters of [Boxer] first. If there are no problems, then we can consider the design scheme for the onboard computer," Jiang Chen quickly decided.
“Yes, Master.” Jarvis replied immediately. “The final assembly is expected to be completed within one hour and twenty-three minutes. As for the testing venue, Master’s training room can meet the needs of the basic tests, but a larger and more professional venue is needed for the complete tests.”
Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Let's test it in the training room. Clear out any irrelevant people on the way in my name."
"Order confirmed, clearing in progress..."
Jiang Chen's voice immediately rang out in the passageway outside the factory, ordering unauthorized personnel to leave the building.
With Jarvis's abilities, imitating Jiang Chen's voice would be no problem at all.
At the far end of the factory, a black metal giant, more than three meters tall, starts up.
With a series of buzzing sounds, the transmission devices inside the mech started operating one after another.
Click~!
The mecha lifted one foot, took a step forward, and then strode towards the gate without stopping.
Jiang Chen immediately followed the mecha to the training room upstairs.
Due to the limitations of Earth's technology, many parts of this mecha have been replaced. Jiang Chen cannot guarantee that it will operate perfectly without any bugs, so naturally he will not personally take to the field.
At least the initial tests were conducted remotely by Jarvis.
Inside the mech, a large number of sensors were installed, and even a test dummy was placed there to confirm the burden on the 'pilot' during the test.
Jiang Chen will only consider conducting real-person driving tests if the initial tests demonstrate sufficient reliability in terms of safety.
"Let's test the speed first," Jiang Chen instructed.
"Yes, Master." Jarvis quickly activated the mecha, running it to maximum power, assuming a starting posture, and then stomped his foot hard on the ground, rapidly accelerating and speeding forward.
The moment the mecha activated, Jiang Chen even felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly.
Fortunately, the floor and walls of this practice room had been specially reinforced.
If this were a regular building, one step would probably have made a hole in the floor.
In less than three seconds, the mech arrived at the other end of the training room, braked sharply, and came to a steady stop.
Jarvis had already sent the speed distribution map via the monitoring instruments in the training room and the sensor data inside the mech through the communication wristband.
As you can see, at the moment of activation, the curve representing the mech's speed rises almost 90 degrees upwards.
And when it stops, it's the same; it descends to a near-vertical line, coming to a standstill.
“The acceleration is very fast. Within two seconds, it can accelerate from a standstill to over 500 meters per second, and that’s not even the maximum speed,” Jarvis’s voice rang out. “There isn’t enough space here to accelerate to the maximum speed. Based on the power module’s power calculations, the maximum speed can reach between 700 and 750 meters per second. Of course, if the load is increased, this number will decrease accordingly.”
"Seven hundred meters per second, that speed is comparable to a high-level war god." Jiang Chen nodded slightly, showing a satisfied expression.
The original "Boxer" design, under standard load, can reach a maximum speed of one kilometer per second. It only takes 2.43 seconds to accelerate from a standstill to its maximum speed, and it can even glide short distances using engines under its feet.
Aside from not being able to fly, its performance in all aspects is comparable to that of a newly advanced planetary-level martial artist.
However, the one Jiang Chen made was a 'crippled version' after all. Not only was the gliding function canceled, but its speed and acceleration were also slightly weaker than the original.
However, being comparable to a high-level war god already satisfied Jiang Chen.
The test continues.
Strength, short-range turning, and other tests were completed one after another, and almost all the values perfectly reached the 'Advanced War God' level.
As each data test was completed, Jiang Chen became increasingly satisfied.
"How is the cockpit load?" Jiang Chen asked.
High-speed movement, especially rapid acceleration and deceleration, can be quite taxing on drivers.
[Boxer] There is a design to reduce the load pressure on the driver, but how effective it is still depends on the data from the test.
Jarvis immediately reported a series of data: "The peak load is around 20G. If it is running at full power, the load will be even higher. To be conservative, the driver may need to be able to withstand a load of 50G to be within the safe range."
“50G…” Jiang Chen was slightly surprised.
This number isn't too high, it's too low.
Before the Great Nirvana, in the era before martial artists, excellent fighter pilots and astronauts could withstand loads of over ten gigabytes.
After the Great Nirvana, martial artists are born. Their physical qualities are stronger, and they can naturally withstand greater loads.
A 50G load doesn't even require a warrior of general level; a high-level warrior, after special training, can easily handle it.
In other words, a single Boxer power mech can enable a high-level warrior to unleash combat power comparable to a high-level war god?!
This is just with fists.
You should know that boxers have weapons.
In the standard design, in addition to being able to carry 12 small missiles, the Boxer's main combat weapon is a choice of one of the following: the Ripper electromagnetic rifle, the Firebat flamethrower, or the Ghost sniper cannon.
Jiang Chen did not exchange the blueprints for the latter two.
But even just equipping the [Ripper] rifle can make the [Boxer] even more terrifying in combat.
While the power of firearms remains unchanged, the increased speed and strength give gunmen more tactical options; they can even outmaneuver a high-level lord-class monster simply by kiting it.
“Master, I must remind you of something: the [Boxer]'s endurance is a major weakness. According to the information I have, battles at the God of War level and above often require a considerable amount of time to determine a winner.” Jarvis began to pour cold water on Jiang Chen's hopes.
