Chapter 1562 1564 Experimenting with new weaponsOn the other side, in the ear of the test pilot, the voice of the test engineer came: "You have I'm completely free from the locks...think about your flight attitude..."
"I'm trying...the body is fine...I feel like I'm floating on the sea." The test pilot adjusted himself state, put out a long breath and said.
"It's okay, just get used to it. The data you see in front of you are actually input based on the zeroing of our space station, so it's just a reference." In the headset, the engineer said with a smile.
In the universe, where is up and where is down is actually relative, and only after referring to certain places will there be corresponding values.
Therefore, there is no such saying about flying backwards in the universe. The head-down problem exists only in places where there is gravity.
This huge body that has been floating in the universe still looks very mighty, and it looks much more delicate than the previous design.
It is completely different from the previous UIPA-1, and it can even be said to be completely two devices.
In order to fly long distances in the universe, the original UIPA size is completely insufficient. The final improvement was to create a larger humanoid mecha to meet the interior design requirements.
In the end, the height of the entire mecha reached an astonishing 16 meters high, and the equipment weighs 21 tons. It is definitely a Hegemon.
With such a huge body, a large amount of magic energy spar and fuel can be stuffed to ensure the long-distance attack of the entire body.
Because of the reduction of a large number of attitude engines, the new experimental mecha can independently travel far beyond the Z space fighters in service today.
Of course, another advantage is that the control of this thing is completely dependent on consciousness, and the reaction speed is more direct and faster than the joystick.
"Please try to fly forward slowly!" Inside the headset, the tester's voice sounded again.
The test pilot nervously started the experiment. He fantasized about running forward, but in an instant his robot lost control.
The huge robot suddenly took a step forward, and at the same time, the new thrusters under its feet also spewed silver fire.
Because of the sudden ignition of the thrusters, this huge body suddenly fell over, and collided with the Exploration-class destroyer that was escorting not far away.
The test pilot who felt that he suddenly started spinning also realized that it was not good. He wanted to regain his balance according to his own habits. Who knew that this move made his flying posture even more weird.
It is simply an irregular flight path, and this huge body just swerves and rushes towards the destroyer beside it.
The destroyer over there is not looking good, and has already started to start the attitude engine and deviate from its own course. On this side, the test pilot finally realized the problem.
On the ground, he wants to move forward, and his brain subconsciously drives his legs to do movement. But in the universe, his thoughts like this are equivalent to driving the legs and leg thrusters at the same time.
"Stop!" He stopped all movement, and several of the thrusters activated on the mecha went off.
At this time, he stretched out one leg and activated the thruster in the opposite direction.
At a distance of less than a few dozen meters from the destroyer, the test pilot who regained his sense of control finally let his mecha start to fly away from the destroyer.
Everyone put out a long breath, and everyone was glad that there was no collision accident in the first experiment.
The latest mecha relies on the legs and the thrusters behind it. In order to give it higher maneuverability, four small auxiliary thrusters that can be turned are added on both sides of the main thruster.
Manipulating these thrusters is a matter of the mind, but doing so relies on a complex transformation process.
Anyone familiar with UIPA knows that it is the human soul that drives this humanoid mecha. But if you want to manipulate the parts of the mecha that are not human, it is very difficult.
There is no thruster on the back of a person, so if you want to control the thruster, you need a change of thinking.
Speaking of which is easy, but it is very complicated to implement: connect all the thrusters to the computer, accept the control of the computer, simplify the commands, and synchronize the human brain...
In short, it is actually more difficult for people to control these engines with their minds than for people to control the body of a robot.
"This thing is more difficult to control than I imagined! But... on the whole, it is still controllable." After the test pilot resumed control, he made slight adjustments while reporting.
He can now control the body of the robot, and is gradually familiar with the control logic of the thrusters under his feet.
Although he is not very skilled, the performance of this airframe is already superior to the previous Z-fighter.
As I said before, the new mecha beats the old fighter jets in range. At the same time, the control performance of the mecha is indeed better than that of the old fighter.
More flexibility and longer range, which has already made the upper echelons of the Alanhill Empire consider changing fighter jets.
What's more, this new mecha has better versatility than old fighter jets: old fighter jets can't enter the atmosphere to fight, but this robot can.
Although the performance is greatly reduced, it can be! This ability is much stronger than not.
"I'm adjusting, getting used to it... and frankly, I like it a lot now, at least it's a lot better in terms of vision than an old fighter. "The test pilot fumbled for control of the mecha as he reported.
He knew that with his proficiency, the mecha would have more advantages to be developed. From the second he drove this mecha, something seemed to be doomed.
This mecha is destined to eliminate the Z-type fighter, and even the F-type unmanned fighter may be eliminated when the performance is crushing the latter.
Performance can make up for quantity, at least to a certain extent! Sending a group of drones to death is not necessarily a cost-effective choice. Let mecha with stronger performance and higher battle strength participate in the battle, maybe it can turn the whole battle situation in one fell swoop!
This is the charm of technology. The emergence of the breech-loading rifle ended the era of bows and arrows; the appearance of the machine gun completely drove the cavalry out of the stage of history... When the Star Destroyer is cruising in the universe, who will Will you turn off the power of heart core weapons?
Of course, no matter how advanced the technology is, a male engineer is destined to have no girlfriend.
