From scrap mecha to science fiction paradise

Chapter 4 Second Generation Mecha
"It happens to be number five, and it's still usable...good luck."

The car was only halfway through when Lin Yu stopped by the roadside, dismantled the supercomputer cabinet and took out the hydraulic oil.

With the experience memory given by the mecha engineering skills, he estimated the condition of the hydraulic oil after a short test, and he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

With this No. 5 hydraulic oil, the last piece of the puzzle is complete.

The hydraulic transmission system essentially converts kinetic energy into pressure on liquid, and uses pressure to transmit and finely control kinetic energy. This hydraulic oil is the medium that carries and transmits this pressure. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the blood of Daybreak.

Now with blood, Daybreak can be regarded as a real action mecha, rather than a toy that can only be displayed.

Of course, the actual completion is not just about replacing the hydraulic oil.

Calibration, testing, fine-tuning, repairing various errors, welding external armor, a series of processes, and a week has passed in a blink of an eye.

"Upgrade requirements completed!"

"Mecha Engineering LV3 → Mecha Engineering LV4"

"Your relevant knowledge has gone further; you have mastered the research and development, manufacturing, and maintenance of the second generation mechanical armor."

"You have opened a new upgrade requirement! (Expand to view)"

At the moment when Daybreak was completely completed, the familiar light blue light curtain flashed across the field of vision again.

Lin Yu had experienced it several times and was already very familiar with it. Instead of reading the prompts, he settled down and started trying to remember.

Deep in my mind, countless knowledge and memories that I had personally learned and practiced came to my mind again.

Mathematics, physics, machinery, information, energy...

Various experiences in manufacturing mechanical armor...

This feeling of gaining knowledge is simply more intoxicating than anything else.

Curiosity and seeking knowledge are human nature.

No one wants to become better and more knowledgeable.

The reason why I don't like learning is that the process is too difficult, the pleasure feedback is too long, and the frustration when I can't learn is too strong.

With the existence of this magical panel, even when he was asked to read various books in person before, he had clear positive feedback. He also knew that he could gain something by reading, and he would understand things he didn't understand when his skills were completely upgraded.

So even if he was reading a book by himself, he could read it with gusto, and the vast amount of knowledge and experience gained out of thin air when this skill was completely upgraded, as well as the pleasure of integrating all kinds of knowledge in the past, made him so happy that he couldn't help himself.

"Second generation mecha technology..."

After sorting out the knowledge in his mind, the light in Lin Yu's eyes became even brighter.

The so-called second-generation mecha technology does not refer to specific technologies, but concepts and various related knowledge.

The first generation of mechas, namely Breaking Dawn, had very conventional mechanical armor, energy, power, transmission systems, and various sensors.

The difference between the second generation and the first generation lies in the control mode.

The first generation used somatosensory interaction or myoelectric interaction to control the mecha by capturing human body movements or electrical signals during muscle activity.

This kind of control is relatively limited. Firstly, it is limited by the accuracy and sensitivity of the sensor. It cannot perform too detailed operations, and the whole thing will be clumsy.

Secondly, if human body movements or myoelectric signals are captured, the shape and activity mode of the mecha will also be limited.

This is also the reason why most mechas are made in human form, and even the torsion of joints and other aspects must be made of bionic human bodies.

The second-generation mecha uses nerve signal direct connection technology to directly intercept nerve signals sent by the brain!
Although it can only be used for humanoid mechas, its response speed and accuracy will be improved many times, and even with the corresponding bionic body structure, it can flexibly use various fighting techniques.

This also includes anti-joint movements that the normal human body cannot do.

Nerve signals are intercepted, and the human body does not need to synchronize itself. As long as its own structure allows, the mecha can naturally fold as much as it wants, and it is no problem to kick the back of the head.

"Unfortunately, it is also countless times more complicated. The requirements for processing accuracy are too high, and many key components are almost irreplaceable..." Soon, Lin Yu shook his head again.

The second-generation mecha technology is indeed a cross-level improvement compared to the first-generation mecha. As long as he has enough time, he is sure to design specific drawings.

But it is a bit unrealistic to make it in the wasteland with discarded parts.

After familiarizing himself with the emerging knowledge and memory, Lin Yu summoned the light blue light curtain again and checked the upgrade conditions for the fourth-level mecha project.

"Upgrade requirements - test: use your own work to complete a high-intensity battle to test its performance, flaws, and environmental adaptability."

"Upgrade requirements - Team: Establish your own R&D team, with no less than five members, and members must have extremely high related talents or skills. (Qualified candidates will be specially marked)"

"Upgrade requirements - breakthrough: design and build a complete second-generation mecha."

"Three..."

After reading it, Lin Yu pondered slightly.

Of the three upgrade requirements, the testing was okay, but the last two were not easy.

It is almost impossible to build a second-generation mecha in the wasteland. As for setting up a research and development team, not to mention that he does not have the capital, just how to recruit members with so-called "extremely high talents or skills" is a problem.

Although I don’t know how high this extreme is, this kind of talent must be the target of competition among various forces. What does he use and what name does he use to recruit these people?
With five thousand dollars in his pocket?

Based on his identity as a remnant of the wasteland?

Therefore, these last two tasks are not particularly difficult for him now.

But it's understandable. Not to mention level 4, the level 3 mecha engineering alone is actually very powerful.

You can't build a mecha from scratch, but that's a matter of the nature of engineers. Engineers are applied disciplines. In fact, the development of technology has always been more and more subdivided. The more you make a screw, the more likely it is. Specialized disciplines and positions.

Being able to independently design and assemble a mecha based on scrap parts, no matter how poor the performance of the mecha, is at the level of an elite talent.

This is still a level three mecha project, and the current level four is a further step forward. The knowledge and memories of various experiences mastered are as vast as the ocean.

In this way, it is quite normal for the level 4 to be promoted to the level 5 above it to be so difficult.

Even if other people knew that it was so 'easy' to improve their knowledge and skills to such an extent, they would probably go crazy with envy.

There is no need to study hard, no talent, no need to study and practice. What is the difference between this and getting something for nothing?
"It seems there are some extra benefits..."

After roughly scanning the upgrade requirements, Lin Yu suddenly moved slightly and his eyes fell on the second upgrade requirement.

Qualified candidates will be specially marked?

And the qualified ones are high-end talents with talents and skills related to the research and development and manufacturing of mechas, aren't they?

Doesn't that mean that I can rely on this to find and contact such people?

Even if they cannot be recruited, these people are still high-end talents or geniuses, and they will definitely have a bright future in the future.

A little contact, even if there is a trace of affection, the benefits will be endless in the future, and maybe it will come in handy at some point.

"Brother Lin, the meal is ready."

Just at this moment, Bai Wei knocked on the door outside the mecha workshop.

"Qualified person"

"?"

Lin Yu's expression froze.
