Infinite Metaverse

Shi Lan and Xiao Fei were busy building a new version of the "Army-breaking Golden Armor" to deal with the upcoming battle.

Fu Qinghai brought Master Quinto and Master Buck together to study the Pioneer's wormhole manufacturing technology.

To say that the Pioneers do have something, it stands to reason that as a civilization that focuses on biotechnology, their style of painting is the same as the Zerg in StarCraft, the Yuuzhan Vong in Star Wars, and the Tyranids in Warhammer 40K.

The wormhole in the first movie was drawn in this style, like layers of valve channels composed of some kind of biological organ.

But in the second movie, this civilization, which is obviously better at bioengineering technology, just used the mechanical engineering technology of Shaw Industries to restore the wormhole manufacturing technology.

Perhaps after being controlled by Dr. Newton, the mecha hunter manufacturing technology in his mind also provided enough learning materials and reference samples for the pioneers, but it has to be said that these aliens really worked hard to colonize the earth. Wormhole technology is still reproduced in areas that are not very good at.

Fu Qinghai has obtained the design information of the drone armor. As long as the monster drone armor is restored to its original form, he can naturally create a wormhole. However, this approach belongs to "knowing what is happening but not knowing why." If we want to understand how the pioneers locate space, open wormholes, and maintain their existence, further research is needed to fully master this technology.

So, can the epoch-making invention of wormhole technology completely change the current structure of the empire?

Of course not.

As mentioned before, the Necrons have wormhole technology - the Scythe of Night can capture natural wormholes to drop troops, but even so, the Necrons still need to use the Tombstone Gate to hijack the webway in order to achieve faster-than-light navigation.

A question that many people have not considered.

What is the diameter of the wormhole channel?

The wormholes captured by the Night Scythe can only be used to deploy infantry units and motorcycle units. Giant underworld structures such as pumice towers and magnificent stone monuments cannot be deployed through the Night Scythe, and the duration of the wormholes is also limited.

The artificial wormhole created by the pioneers is slightly larger in diameter than the natural wormhole used by the Necrons. It can at least allow monsters hundreds of meters high to pass through. If it relies on some long-lasting and abundant energy, this wormhole can also pass through. has always maintained its existence.

But for the vast territory and huge size of the human empire, wormholes are just a drop in the bucket. Wormholes are not the same as the Webway. A large Webway entrance can accommodate an entire fleet to pass through, while a wormhole can only pass monsters the size of a monster. units, and there are limits to the quality and quantity that can pass each time.

There is absolutely no substitute for subspace jumping technology.

Someone may ask:

Then can't the diameter of the wormhole be expanded?

Of course it's not that simple. It is precisely because of the various limitations of artificial wormholes that the pioneers' plans to colonize the earth have been delayed and failed repeatedly - because of the larger and more powerful monsters. There is no way to come to Earth through a wormhole. If the diameter of the wormhole could be expanded casually, the Pioneers would have occupied the Earth long ago.

For Master Quinto, Master Buck and Fu Qinghai, those things are too far away. The only thing to consider now is to master the wormhole manufacturing technology first.

…

After the Ministry of Military Affairs' transfer order was issued, Fu Qinghai did not lead the battle group to the steel ring immediately. Instead, he waited patiently for the completion of version 2.0 of the "Army-breaking Golden Armor".

Four months have passed.

The new four-armed Titan is finally here.

Fu Qinghai is going to come for a test drive first.

"The volcano cannon and seismic cannon have been temporarily removed from the weapon sequence. According to your request, the 'Army-breaking Golden Armor' will focus on melee combat. If it is equipped with too many long-range weapons, there will be no space in the Titan's body structure to store ammunition. ”

Climbing along the gangway, Xiao Fei said as he walked.

"The sprint reactor and shin climber of the 'Valiant Protector', the hydraulic damper of the 'Saber Athena', the horizontal gyroscope and gravity stabilizer of the Warlord Titan, this series of devices makes it have unimaginable capabilities. Mobility and balance.”

Volcano cannons and seismic cannons are used to deal with unshielded creatures such as monsters and Titans, and their power is acceptable. But for a Titan with multiple void shield arrays on the outside and adamantium composite armor on the inside, its power is a bit weak. It requires a large and continuous firepower output to break the defense.

There isn't that much room for stocking ammunition.

It also doesn't meet Fu Qinghai's requirement of killing with one strike.

So give up for now.

"The weapons currently equipped on the four arms are the Rocket Elbow Power Claw on the lower right arm, the Mori-type melta cannon on the lower left arm, and the plasma double-edged swords on the upper arms..."

Xiao Fei introduced them one by one.

With four mechanical arms and three different weapons, the "Pojun Golden Armor" looks more like a mechanical Buddha.

The plasma double-edged sword was originally the weapon of "Saber Athena". Unlike the Star Wars lightsaber that uses magnetically confined plasma to form the blade, the plasma double-edged sword can emit a hot and condensed ion shock wave from one side of the blade.

Fu Qinghai entered the head cockpit.

Early models of Mecha Hunters used the Pinocchio cockpit, which was the one used by the "White Scars" before. The soles of their feet were fixed to the ground, and many cables were connected to their bodies, just like a puppet on strings, hence the name "Pinocchio". Nochio Cockpit”.

Starting from the fifth generation Mecha Hunter, the magnetic levitation cockpit has been used instead. The cables on the body have been reduced and concentrated into a bunch. At the same time, the soles of the feet are no longer fixed to the ground, but suspended in the air. The shape of the magnetic levitation cockpit is more concise and sci-fi. This design It allows drivers to make more complex and flexible actions.

The probes were inserted into the neural interface one by one, and with a slight tingling sensation, Fu Qinghai entered a synaesthesia state.

When he opened his eyes again, the sight he saw was no longer the cockpit of his head, but the interior of the Forging Temple.

Then start trying to mobilize all four arms.

"A little difficult."

Fu Qinghai felt it carefully and said:

"I can't tell which one is my real body. I am an Astartes with two hearts and three lungs, or a mechanical Titan with two legs and four arms. The two different states are constantly switching in my mind, causing interference. My perception..."

"It won't be easy, Khan."

Xiao Fei stood in the control center and said:

"Take your time, don't rush."

Fu Qinghai was a little overconfident - controlling the four robotic arms was far more difficult than he imagined.

This is not just a matter of "Pojun Golden Armor" having four arms and Fu Qinghai having only two.

For example: the waist of "Pojun Golden Armor" can rotate 360 ​​degrees, but the human lumbar spine structure does not support this operation; the knee joints of "Pojun Golden Armor" are segmented and recurved, which is also consistent with Human knee joints are structured differently.

Titans and pilot crews have different physiological structures.

Will this cause the driver to feel very awkward?

Here, we have to emphasize the difference between the Ponce Bridge Device (Drift) in the Pacific Rim universe and the Thought Impulse Unit (MIU) in the Warhammer 40K universe.

The biggest selling point of the Ponce bridge device is to synchronize the driver group, share the information processing pressure, and control the Titan without the assistance of artificial intelligence. However, the Ponce bridge device also has its limitations, which results in PPDC only being able to manufacture Mecha Hunters with a humanoid structure, the pilot team cannot control other Mecha Hunters with non-human shapes.

The thought pulse unit, combined with the flow interface and the command throne, can allow the Titan captain's mind to directly transform into the Titan itself, and control the Titan with the assistance of the machine soul (beast artificial intelligence). In other words, when controlling the Titan, the captain thinks that he is the Titan itself, not a human being.

Although the latter control mode is good, it also has serious side effects. Some captains who piloted the War Dog Titan suddenly lost their connection after a long battle. In a short period of time, they were unable to walk like normal humans and could only walk on their feet. He hunched over and crawled on the ground like a wild dog.

Because their brains can no longer tell whether they are a War Dog Titan or a human.

This is why many pilots in the Titan Order will feel very uncomfortable after being separated from the control of the Titan. If they maintain a deep connection with the Titan for a long time and are in a high-intensity and high-intensity battlefield environment, they will become more and more accustomed to it. As a Titan, he could no longer adapt to his frail and insignificant mortal body. As his service time gradually increased, his mind was completely unable to leave the Titan, and he was eventually put into the amniotic fluid chamber and became a human body inserted into the Titan. A biological wetware, a growth and parasite.

If "Pojun Jinjia" wants to achieve four-arm control, it has to introduce a thinking pulse unit operating system.

Ordinary Titan units do not have such complex maneuvers. The captain only needs to control the Titan to walk, and the weapon system can be controlled by other crew members, but the "Army-Breaking Golden Armor" cannot. This is a Titan known for its flexibility and agility.

Fu Qinghai is still slowly getting used to it.

But a new cycle is about to begin.

So Xiao Fei proposed two solutions:

1. Never mind the Crimson Protocol. The Dark Angels openly sent Iron Man to participate in the battle. The Iron Hands used AI to control the Dreadnought. They all hate intelligence. Who dares to talk too much? They are playing with artificial intelligence, but we, Baiscar, can’t play with it?

——Plug in the Qingming chip to assist control!

2. Khan, forget about that pink-haired woman, the brothers of the war group... Oh, no, brothers, they are all waiting to fly Titan with you. Isn’t the friendship of the robe more fragrant?

——Find a new Titan co-pilot.

Think about it.

Fu Qinghai chose the second option.

Fu Qinghai first took out the KWOON training manual written by Marshal Panticost - a training system specifically for the combat skills of mecha hunters, and distributed it to the senior officers of the battle group, asking them to pay close attention. Take time to practice mastering, and then start pairing synaesthesia one by one.

When the test results came out, it was really strange.

No one can achieve 100% synchronization with Fu Qinghai.

The first company commander, Moon Wolf Warrior Lao Qiao, the first interstellar warrior of the Shenji Brotherhood, Fu Qinghai’s first subordinate, followed him through all the big and small battles in the Warhammer 40K universe, in terms of cooperation and tacit understanding. Regarding the understanding and implementation of tactical thinking and strategic concepts, no one can control it, but they still cannot achieve 100% synchronization rate with Fu Qinghai.

Attendant, Lin Yu, is a Space Marine who was also transformed using the White Scar gene seed. He also serves as Fu Qinghai's assistant and secretary. He handles some of the daily chores of the battle group, as well as the large and small affairs of the forging world and the hive world, and advises him from ear to ear. Under the leadership, he is very able to understand the spirit of leadership, but the squire cannot achieve 100% synchronization with the chapter leader.

In addition, after testing one by one, Tristan, Camille, No. 56, Kalamanda, Satfla... could not achieve a sufficient synchronization rate with Fu Qinghai.

"Is the training and running-in time too short?"

"Is it because of the personality incompatibility?"

Fu Qinghai fell into deep thought.

The male and female protagonists in the Pacific Rim movie also spent a long time in the training room of the Sky Martial Arts School before they developed amazing tacit understanding and synchronization efficiency. If they were given more time to run in, they might still be able to achieve perfect synchronization.

"Khan."

At this time, navigator Tracy came to the training cage.

"Marx King is not close to the Iron Ring. According to the sailing route I planned, we must set off immediately, otherwise we will not be able to arrive at the Atal Meridian Forge World within the time specified by the Ministry of Military Affairs. .”

"Okay, I know."

Fu Qinghai put the training sword back to the side.

"Anyway, let's go first."

Fu Qinghai said to Xiao Fei:

"We'll try it slowly on the way. If it still doesn't work in the end, insert Qing Ming's chip."

"Okay, Khan."

said the Tech-Priest.
