Chapter 1917 Giant Mountain Super Power
A certain power laboratory of the Kansai Branch of the Space Development Agency:
Da! clatter! clatter!
With a crisp sound, rows of lights on the dome lit up from front to back, illuminating the huge factory building.
The first thing that catches the eye is the yellow-painted Feiyan-1 parked in the middle. The fuselage on both sides has been opened, connected with arm-thick cables, and dozens of large There are mechanical arms of various sizes and shapes, as well as instruments that cannot be named, and there are many boxes stacked next to them, ranging from containers to suitcases, many of which have been opened.
Horii took the lead and walked over, introducing as he walked: "This was originally a laboratory of Dr. Kashiwamura's development team, because the mechanical equipment here were designed and installed based on the GW-01, which is the Feiyan No. 1 series fighter aircraft. Therefore, The original plan was to dismantle the GW-01Z after completing the modification and testing work.”
GW-01Z!
Feiyan No. 1—Z!
Chiba Makoto knows and has seen this model. The few fighters currently equipped by the Space Adventure Team are GW-01Z. This model is called the final swan song of Feiyan-1 in the industry. Its performance is quite superior and maintenance is extremely convenient. Even now that the Victory Condor has been officially installed, GW-01Z is still active in various space stations and interstellar bases around the world and beyond.
This is about four years ago, that is, in 2013. In order to adapt to the development of the new era, TPC began to reorganize its structure and also carried out the research and development of a new generation of fighter jets, namely the Condor Project. !
While everyone's attention is focused on the new generation of fighter jets, Dr. Kashiwamura is still "nostalgic" for the GW series of fighter jets she built. She proposed to the headquarters to make full use of existing refined technologies based on the GW-01A. and new materials, without affecting the basic performance of the Feiyan-1, to improve productivity and maintainability, thereby improving the overall performance of the Feiyan-1 series fighter jets.
This plan was quickly approved by the headquarters, because the reasons given by Dr. Kashiwamura were very convincing:
Even if the development of the new fighter jet goes smoothly, there are still many problems from research and development, test flight, production, It will take a long time to install and eventually become popular.
Before the new fighter jets are popularized and effectively used, the Feiyan-1, which has long been familiar to the majority of pilots, will still have to bear the heavy responsibility of earth defense, thus upgrading the aircraft that are still the main combat aircraft around the world. The performance of Yanhao is very necessary.
Because a total of nearly two hundred Feiyan-1 series fighter jets have been produced, even if new fighter jets have begun production, it will take a long time and a large amount of money to replace them all, so modernization technology, it is necessary to modify existing fighter jets.
It only took a year for the Kashiwa Village team to complete the modification and send it to all parts of the world, allowing each branch to modify the active GW-01A into GW-01Z. Then some members of the Kashiwa Village team were transferred to join the "Condor Project" , and others have entered other fields and continue to shine.
This team, which has become a leader in the aviation field since 2002 by developing a super-efficient jet engine system, only exists in name only.
The experience of the Bai Cun team is just a microcosm of the TPC restructuring trend. Many departments, including the Victory Team, were disbanded, reorganized, or reorganized. The whole process lasted for two years. , it was not until 2015 that it stabilized.
TPC began to use a new logo, the new Victory Team has an official name - Super Victory Team, and all departments are on the right track
"Because this is the last mission of the Kashiwa Village team, In addition, this model was developed to the limit, so it was named GW-01Z. "Horii lamented. The most advanced fighter jets back then have now become 'backward'. Even the GW-01Z, which has been upgraded to its extreme, has an overall performance far inferior to that of the Victory Condor. The Victory Team that bravely defended the earth back then is now a It was broken into pieces, and replaced by NEW·GUTS that gave it the name of super.
"However, not everyone thinks that the Feiyan series has reached its limit and there is no room for improvement, because it is a very mature, excellent and combat-proven model."
"For example, you ?”
“Yes!” Horii admitted generously, skillfully starting the computer in the middle of the array of instruments, staring at the fighter in front of him, knowing the location of every part. Said: "I took over this laboratory from Dr. Bai Cun, and before the victory team was officially disbanded, I took away the Feiyan No. 1 and applied for funds and technology from the headquarters to verify the Feiyan series fighter jets. By replacing the new Max engine, it is possible to fly with the new Max."
"Then you succeeded?"
"No, failed!"
"Uh"
This is a bit embarrassing.
“To be precise, we failed half the time,” Horii said with regret, fully demonstrating his rigor as a scientist: “Although the New Max engine has been miniaturized, its size is still smaller than that of Feiyan. For the No. 1, it’s still too big.”
Horii said while tapping the keyboard, opening a folder labeled GW-01M, and opened a few pictures for semi-perspective comparison. , allowing Chiba Cheng to see the difference at a glance.
The miniaturized new Max engine is two or three times larger than the HPE series of space and sky dual-purpose engines used by Feiyan-1. It is so huge that it cannot be forced into it, but if it is increased The volume of the Dafeiyan-1's tail will significantly change the aerodynamic appearance of the Feiyan-1. Once the aerodynamic appearance changes, the workload will almost equal that of redesigning a fighter jet.
But the east is not bright and the west is bright.
Although the New Max engine cannot be installed in the Jebel-1 until it becomes more compact, Horii’s research is not in vain, because the New Max engine can be used in the Jebel-2 and the large fighter jets. Feiyan EX-J.
Beginning in 2011, TPC divisions around the world that completed the reorganization began to produce and deploy Feiyan EX-J, with a total of twenty aircraft produced.
After Horii’s verification was successful, TPC started to modify Feiyan EX-J’s HPE space engine into a new Max power system starting last year, which not only improved Feiyan EX-J’s propulsion Get a substantial improvement and still fly The weapon system on the Yan EX-J was modified to a Neomax laser weapon, which increased the destructive power several times. The modified Feiyan EX-J was then deployed in areas where the Victory Condor was not currently installed. , to enhance the area’s defense capabilities.
As for Feiyan 2, it is in an awkward middle position. In terms of speed, it cannot compare with Feiyan 1, and in terms of firepower, it cannot compare with Feiyan EX-J. It is very similar to the composite form of Tiga. Therefore, after the large-scale production and deployment of the Feiyan EX-J, the Feiyan 2 was reduced to a auxiliary model. That is to say, the Feiyan 2 will be considered as the main fighter only when there is really no Feiyan EX-J. .
Even when retrofitting an old aircraft with a new Max engine, the priority is given to Feiyan EX-J, which has better overall performance, rather than Feiyan 2. Even after the modification of Feiyan EX-J is completed, Feiyan 2 There are no plans to modify the ship, and as of today, it is in a semi-decommissioned state.
Feiyan No. 1—M!
This M——
Chiba Cheng smacked his lips, who said men in science and engineering don’t understand romance? Isn’t this quite romantic?
Because Horii’s wife Chizuru Horii’s initials are M.
In the name of my wife!
Sure enough, even people who don’t understand romance will express their love in their own way once they meet true love. Just as he was sighing, Chiba Makoto glanced at a folder named GW-02R and asked curiously: "What is this?"
GW-02 is obviously Victory Feiyan No. 2 means, but didn’t Horii just say that there is no modification plan for No. 2, and it will just be used as a backup and auxiliary machine, waiting for the new model to be retired. Why is there another R modification?
“This is a very bold idea, but unfortunately it is not possible to realize it at present,” Horii said, opening the folder. Inside was a large number of dazzlingly complex design drawings, but one of them The renderings made with CG are very attractive and even more intimidating.
Because it turns out to be a transformable fighter jet.
The prototype is Feiyan 2, but it can be transformed into a robot marked as more than thirty meters tall.
Changing from a fighter jet to a robot reminded Chiba Makoto of the defense team in the world of Teliga - the Elite Victory Team.
What they use is a remotely controlled special variant of the drone - the Victory Falcon, which can transform from a fighter jet into a weird-looking robot to fight monsters in the city.
To be precise, it is used as a bait to lure the monsters out of the city so as not to fight in the city. Not to mention being restrained, if you are not careful, it will cause great damage to the city.
When he saw the Victory Condor for the first time, Chiba Cheng was very surprised. He deeply felt the high technology and creativity of TPU. But now
Chiba Cheng even doubted that the Victory Condor’s The idea of transformation may come from this GW-02R. After all, Mitsukuni Shizuma, who created TPU, is a 'future man' who accidentally traveled from the Tiga world to the Teliga world, and he is also a member of the Intelligence Bureau. , then it is not difficult to know the existence of GW-02R.
It is true that when the east is not bright, the west is bright.
GW-02R can only eat dust in TPC, but in TPU it has become the main fighter.
Horii looked at the design drawings and CG renderings on the screen, and said with regret: "This is what the Kashiwamura team proposed in response to the fact that the cruise of Feiyan 2 is not as good as that of Feiyan 1, and its firepower is not as good as Feiyan EX- J's situation, a bold improvement idea was proposed to maximize the advantage of Feiyan-2's stable structure. Unfortunately, it was too bold and too advanced. Even if it was manufactured, it would not be able to play the expected role. ”
The official name of the GW-02R is the Variable Fighter, a combat weapon against monsters. It is one of the many "whimsical" ideas created during the TPC restructuring period.
The design is inspired by Ultraman, because in most cases, Ultraman, who is about the same size as a monster, uses fighting skills to fight against monsters in the city, thereby reducing damage to the surroundings. However, human fighter jets are far less effective in urban warfare than in the wilderness.
The reason is very simple, that is, in cities, you simply don’t dare to use large, powerful and destructive laser cannons. Even the least powerful needle laser cannon must be aimed at it before you dare to use it. This greatly limits the power of the fighter jet.
Therefore, the designers came up with the idea of using huge humanoid combat robots to fight against huge monsters.
This genius idea received support after it was proposed, and the design drawing was completed, but it was rejected during the technical demonstration stage.
The reason is very simple, that is, the strength of the material is not good enough.
The monster waved its hands and kicked its legs casually, and its destructive power was measured in tens of thousands of tons. As far as the current materials are concerned, it is simply unable to withstand such a terrifying force.
Friends who have worked on Transformers and Super Sentai all know that when switching between the two forms, the most important thing to pay attention to is that the parts cannot deform, otherwise it will be easy to get stuck during the transformation, and then become They are all different.
This is why most Transformers run on the ground.
Because if you want to fly in the air, you must first be light, and lightness means weak defense. Therefore, even a fighter jet cannot stop bullets. When fighting on land, the first thing to consider is defense. , that armor is so well made, I wish it had three layers inside and three layers outside.
No one's aircraft can be equipped with tank armor, and no one's tanks can't even defend against bullets.
These are two completely different concepts. If they are put together forcibly, they will achieve nothing.
If GW-02R wants to achieve the ideal state, it must use a material that is light in weight, strong in defense, and can withstand an impact of 10,000 tons without deforming.
Not to mention hearing about this material, I dare not even think about it in my dreams. Even the vibranium in fantasy cannot meet one percent of this requirement.
As for how outrageous it is, Horii heard a rumor from the medical class, that is, after Kashiwamura's team came out with the drawings, the technical and assembly people cursed on the spot, and the words were quite unpleasant. .
Because even with this material, a transformable fighter jet can be created, but based on the size of the Feiyan-2, the transformed robot will only be about thirty meters tall. This size is generally fifty or sixty meters high for monsters. , but it's quite inconspicuous, a half-baked person who can't even touch the enemy's shoulder with his raised hand. Why was it made?
Being used as a ball for monsters?
"After that, all the data and drawings of GW-02R were sealed. In the words of the designer, it was handed over to the future. Maybe it will be realized one day." Horii said with ease. He said heavy words in a tone of voice.
A fighter jet, even if it is modified, requires a huge amount of work, not to mention such a 'whimsical and unprecedented' transformation, which definitely takes a lot of energy.
Horii knows the frustration of being denied his hard work, so he can sympathize with it.
Chiba Makoto stared at this rendering that was considered to be a self-liberation. As he looked at it, a bolder idea came to his mind. So he raised his head, stared at Horii, and asked: "Horii, have you ever thought about it?" "
"What?"
"Build a giant superpower!"
"Say it again?"
