Cutting-edge technology: I handed myself over

Chapter 42: High Damage from the Right Hand

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

In the live broadcast, more than a dozen armed helicopters took off simultaneously from the helipad and then gradually disappeared into the horizon, nothing to be surprised about.

The scene shifts again, showing a J-20 fighter jet speeding along the runway before taking off and soaring into the sky—nothing particularly surprising.

The scene shifts again, showing a line of unmanned suicide bombers, converted from old J-6 fighter jets, taking off one after another from the runway.

This news had already spread, so there was nothing surprising about it.

The scene shifted again, showing long lines of fully armed paratroopers running quickly and orderly into the Y-20 aircraft cabin, without anything particularly surprising.

The scene shifts again, and the Tiger Armored Airborne Company is busily entering "Fat Girl's Belly," still without any surprises.

Just as the audience's emotions were calming down from these almost commonplace scenes, the live broadcast switched again and again.

Then, the audience's emotions, which had just calmed down, were stirred up again: the military mech unit had finally appeared!

In the footage, bulky military mechs are lined up in neat rows, methodically driving into the cabin of the Y-20 transport aircraft.

Yes, it's "driving in," not "walking in."

Because the lower body of a military mech is not a humanoid lower body, but a segmented chassis for a linear cannon!

The reason it is called a mecha is because the upper body of a military mecha is anthropomorphic, with a distinctly human-like chest, head, and arms.

Such a classic image prompted Guo Yi, who was casually watching the live stream, to blurt out, "Gundam!?"

"A Gundam!?"

Upon hearing Guo Yi's surprised voice, Li Sisi swayed slightly in his arms and asked, "What is a steel tank?"

"It was the first-generation mobile suit, which combined a tank chassis with a human upper body."

Guo Yi explained, then said helplessly, "No wonder you said before that Lao Qi and the others weren't looking for AS equipment, and no wonder there's no military AS equipment deployment plan. It turns out it was all arranged long ago!"

"The reason you chose to join the system is because your individual manpower is limited, isn't it?"

You are responsible for pushing the limits of technology, while Professor Zhou and his team are responsible for widening the technological boundaries. Only by working together can science and technology achieve explosive leaps forward.

"Yes."

Guo Yi nodded in agreement, then asked curiously, "Wen Shu, pull up the relevant information about the tank-human mechs in the image."

"...Permission granted, relevant information projected."

"..."

The more Guo Yi looked at the information about the mecha, the more his lips twitched: It's too brutal!

The Garrison Mech, also known as the Tank-Body Mech, is a low-cost military mech developed by Zhou Lao and his team before they developed the Zhenyue Mech.

The reason why Elder Zhou and his team were able to develop the Garrison Mech but not the Mountain-Suppressing Mech is quite simple: the two are used for different purposes and in different environments.

Due to factors such as the operating environment and work requirements, the Zhenyue-type mech requires an extremely high-precision motion operation system.

As for the garrison mechs, as long as they can fire cannons, run at a decent speed, are adaptable enough, and are a little sturdy, that's enough. They don't need a high-precision motion control system, and they might not even need one.

In this way, the fortress mechs naturally came into being...

Military mechs do not require high-precision motion control systems, and since mechs are a superior replacement for tanks, the method with the lowest learning cost is to directly convert tank drivers into mech pilots.

Following this line of thought, the operating system of military mechs can be roughly determined: it is similar to the operating system of tanks.

Since the operating system of mechs is similar to that of tanks, why not just replace the lower body of a mech with a tank chassis?

This not only integrates with the operating system but also further reduces the learning cost.

Since the mech's operating system is similar to that of a tank and uses a tank chassis, and since mechs do not require a high-precision motion operating system, why not just replace the mech's arms as well, and directly use various cannons or rocket launchers as the mech's arms?

Hmm, if the upper body is humanoid, then the back seems a bit empty. Why not add an external multi-functional backpack to the mecha to make the mecha have more energy and more ammunition?

Now that energy and ammunition have increased, and the top of the backpack is almost shoulder-high to the mech, why not add some anti-aircraft guns or howitzers to the top of the backpack?

There are too many types of weapons, and the operating system is too simplistic, making it difficult for one person to operate.

No problem, there's enough space inside the mech to fit the entire tank crew!

In this way, the tank crew can be successfully transformed into a fortress mech crew.

As for defense, E-grade carbon steel can penetrate it, and you're done!

And so, naturally and smoothly, Old Zhou and his team developed the fortress mech.

This is why the fortress mechs appear unusually cumbersome: after all, they are equipped with both guns and cannons, and their energy and ammunition have been enhanced.

Now for the important part: that was just the first version of the Fortress Mech, not the Fortress Mech shown in the live stream now.

The Fortress Mech shown in the live stream is an improved version: its chassis has been replaced with a linear cannon chassis, which enhances its off-road capability and adaptability. In addition, four vector engine nozzles have been added to the lower part of the chassis, which not only gives the Fortress Mech a brief hovering ability, further enhancing its off-road capability, but also gives it the ability to be airdropped, greatly enhancing its strategic mobility and battlefield threat.

In addition, the defensive mechs in the live broadcast also carried a certain number of drones and autonomous dogs!

Therefore, the fortress mechs in the live broadcast should not be called mechs, but rather fortress-type mobile war fortresses!

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

After reading the information about the Fortress Mech, Guo Yi couldn't help but sigh, then shook his head and said, "If only we had a small nuclear reactor for MS, both the combat time and movement speed of the Fortress Mech would be significantly improved. Maybe it could even achieve single-machine breakthrough."

Currently, the short combat time, slow movement speed, and massive size are the most obvious and fatal weaknesses of the Fortress Mech. It must be paired with other unit types to fully utilize its firepower advantage.

After hearing Guo Yi's sigh, Li Sisi couldn't help but roll her eyes and said helplessly, "Having weaknesses doesn't mean the enemy can discover them, much less that the enemy has the ability to exploit them."

Besides, what weapon or piece of equipment is without weaknesses?

Don't demand perfection from people, things, or even yourself; it's impossible.

"Okay, okay, I got it."

"Don't touch or move your hands randomly, Wen Shu is recording it."

"Just kidding, no one can access my video and audio recordings without my permission."

"No, let's talk about it when we get home."

"..."

Just as Guo Yi and Li Sisi were flirting, the live stream switched again.
