Chapter 354 Test Failure
Two hours later, in the southern suburbs of Tianfu City, there was a simulation test site.
The first actual machine test did not directly allow the tester to appear on the stage. Instead, the PFDA was placed on a dummy made of special materials, and the PFDA was controlled by remote control.
According to those drawings, Sun Hang used Tai Sui mycelium to manufacture the first batch of joint parts that met the requirements of the PFDA. Due to the existence of the ability to "make all wishes come true", the qualification rate of the parts directly reached 100%, allowing those The engineers responsible for measuring the parts' errors all widened their eyes.
"They are all qualified parts! Hurry! Start assembling immediately!"
"None of them were scrapped? How is this possible? Could it be that you measured it wrong?"
"That's right, that's right, why are you talking so much nonsense! Don't waste time! Hurry!" Several engineers were still arguing, while Song Yarong was already cursing on the other side.
She took off her bloated protective clothing and changed into a tight-fitting combat uniform. She also wrapped a long down jacket over the combat uniform, and a pair of semi-covering goggles on her face. His eyes moved around, constantly scanning the PFDA "Prototype No. 1" fixed on the launch bracket.
It is noon in midsummer, but the temperature in the southern suburbs of Tianfu City is only minus 17 degrees Celsius. There is heavy snow in the sky, the soil on the ground is frozen as hard as steel, and the biting cold wind makes the flags placed aside rustle. .
Everyone present was wearing thick cold-proof clothing, except Sun Hang.
"Aren't you afraid of the cold?" Fukada asked.
She wore a military coat with a fur collar and a thick cold hat on her head, but even so, her nose was still red from the cold, and she had to suck clear mucus from her nostrils from time to time.
"It's okay." Sun Hang said, "It's not too cold."
"I really envy the physique of you infected people." Fukada Miki said in a low voice.
"First of all, not all infected people are as frost-resistant as him; secondly, many infected people face the threat of death or loss of control at any time." Song Yarong turned her head and glanced at Fukada Miki, "Many people envy the infected people. ability, but after becoming an infected person, he will only miss his life as an ordinary person."
"This is not necessarily true." Fukada Miki snorted coldly, "In Chunming City, I have seen many infected people who were ecstatic after gaining abilities. For them, this infection is equivalent to changing their destiny... many at the bottom People, they also face the threat of death, but their life is far worse than that of hunters who receive subsidies from the federal government... If I were that kind of person, I would definitely want to become a hunter.”
Song Yarong wanted to say, "These people will regret it sooner or later"... But she suddenly realized that she was also an infected person, and the abilities brought by the infection not only did not cause her any trouble, but also provided her with Many conveniences, salary, position, authority level have also increased all the time... There is no doubt that these things are brought to her by her special status as an infected person.
As for the discrimination and hostility of ordinary people towards infected people, she has never experienced it much, having worked in a research institute all year round and dealing with a group of scientific researchers and engineers all day long.
Song Yarong didn't say anything in the end and turned around.
Under the operation of four extremely skilled technicians, the PFDA equipped with Taisui mycelium parts quickly completed the final debugging work, and the test dummy was placed in the "cockpit". With the piercing warning sound, the area behind the launch bracket was quickly cleared, and everyone evacuated to a safe area a hundred meters away.
"Light the fire in three seconds!" Song Yarong shouted loudly.
Soon, the tail nozzles of those huge rocket thrusters began to emit long tail flames, and the steel cables used to secure the PFDA collapsed straight and began to make an overwhelmed squeaking sound.
"The thrust has reached the predetermined standard! Release the restraints!"
With a few crisp sounds, all the steel cables connected to the PFDA were disconnected. The PFDA and the integrated thruster behind it suddenly disappeared in front of everyone like an arrow from a string.
The strong airflow even blew away the boxes used to store monitoring instruments on both sides of the launch bracket.
"The muzzle velocity is Mach 4.71!!" the observer immediately shouted, "Still accelerating, it has reached Mach 4.85! 4.89! It has exceeded 4.9!"
The air flow brought up by the PFDA during its flight directly cut through the frozen soil and plowed a deep ravine on the ground. The huge sonic boom produced when it broke the sound barrier directly eliminated the voice of the observer who reported the speed. It was completely suppressed.
This test site is a one-to-one replica of the terrain surrounding Chimera 17. The distance between the launch area and Chimera 17 is almost thirty kilometers. At the speed of PFDA Mach 5, it only takes 18 You can reach your target location in less than seconds.
A large number of drones are deployed in the sky in this area to capture real-time flight footage of the PFDA. At the same time, it serves as a signal transfer station to transmit data from a large number of sensors installed inside the PFDA back to the launch area along with the footage.
"The speed has reached Mach 5.07 and is almost stable. The thruster fuel consumption is normal! Each thruster is operating normally! The stress of the PFDA's own structure is still within the tolerable range! The driver's stress has dropped from 79G when it just started to accelerate. It has reached 24G and is still declining steadily! ”
"What is the highest peak value of G force?" Sun Hang asked casually.
"121G." A researcher replied immediately.
What is the concept of 121G? Converted into a relatively easy-to-understand term, it is equivalent to a person weighing 80 kilograms. At this moment, he needs to withstand an inertial force of 121 times the gravity of the earth's surface, which is 9.68 tons... which is almost equivalent to It was like being run over by a medium-sized truck.
Moreover, this data refers to the G force value directly endured by the test dummy. Before this, the G force endured by the dummy has been partially offset by the buffer device in the cockpit and the anti-gravity suit worn on the dummy. Otherwise, this value will be even greater.
If it were an ordinary person driving a PFDA, his body would probably be a bloody mess by this time.
"Enter the safe zone in three seconds!!"
"Having entered the safe zone!!"
"Propulsor disengagement completed! Reverse deceleration injector started successfully!"
"The G-force value the dummy withstands reaches 115G! 127G! 130G!"
"Fire the sticky hook!"
"The sticky anchor hook successfully hit the target! The fixing strength reaches the standard value!"
"Side thrusters activated!"
"The steering angle is within the controllable range!" "Get ready for disassembly!"
Sun Hang and Fukada Miki crowded in front of a computer, looking at the picture on the screen - a large number of parts fell off the PFDA like a goddess scattering flowers, and were thrown far away under the action of inertia... Almost instantly, the dummy inside the armor was exposed. Immediately afterwards, the airbag in the driving suit quickly inflated, and a huge balloon once again wrapped the test dummy inside.
But the next second, an accident happened.
The balloon hit the ground heavily, then bounced up suddenly and flew out of the safety zone!
"The brake thrusters of No. 9, No. 16, No. 17, and No. 21 were damaged when they landed! They cannot be started!"
"The impact was too great! The steering control device failed!"
"The landing airbag has flown out of the safety zone...the first test failed!"
The researchers and engineers looked at each other, but they were not discouraged. They quickly got busy again and began to find the cause of the failure.
It is common for such a project to fail - there will be a big gap between the data simulated by the computer and the data tested on the actual machine. It would be incredible if it could succeed like Sun Hang did when he concocted parts.
Another hour passed.
The remains of the test dummy, airbags and PFDA have been transported back to the launch area, where a group of engineers carefully examine every piece as if performing an autopsy.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The people on the medical team were discussing something intensely around the test dummy that had become "inhuman".
"Have you found out the reason for the failure?" Sun Hang found Song Yarong and asked.
"Still checking, but part of it has been found." Song Yarong said, "The thrust of the reverse deceleration thruster is a bit too small, the armor disintegration time is 0.15 seconds slower than expected, and the airbag opening speed is also 0.3 seconds slower. After landing, the airbag did not fully deploy, causing the brake thruster, which was originally designed to be embedded, to directly contact the ground... Each of these problems is not fatal, but together, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.”
"Can it be solved?" Sun Hang asked again.
"The problems I just mentioned are all easy to deal with. If the disassembly is slow, the disintegration time can be advanced. If the air bag is inflated slowly, the chemical formula should be adjusted. In addition, the brake propeller can be made of materials with higher strength and higher cost. Production... But the biggest problem now is probably the medical team." Song Yarong glanced at the group of guys who seemed to be quarreling around the test dummy and said with a headache.
"What's wrong?"
"The trauma suffered by the test dummy far exceeded the results of computer simulation... You should also be able to see that the main reason for the failure of this experiment is that the landing airbag flew out of the safety zone. In actual combat, this means that the landing airbag Will be attacked by the stress response of Chimera No. 17... But this is a test. The fake Chimera No. 17 will not emit energy flow, so it stands to reason that even if the experiment fails, the testers in the airbag will also It should be safe and sound..."
Song Yarong continued: "But the test dummies that have been recovered now have...even if they are replaced by hunters with high-strength bodies, after experiencing such a degree of trauma, if they want to continue to perform the mission, I am afraid..."< br>
"This can't be solved?"
"This problem can only be solved through selection... Originally, my driver pre-selection list had seventeen people, but now it seems that I am afraid that more than half of them will have to be screened out." Song Yarong said helplessly.
"Speaking of which, there is something I have forgotten to ask." Sun Hang glanced at the busy people around him and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his nose.
"What happened?"
"The last time we were close to Chimera No. 17, in order to give us a chance to retreat, the headquarters sent a large number of soldiers on drones to attract the firepower of Chimera No. 17... Although it is a bit unethical to say this, then This time, why can't we use this method? "Sun Hang said, "First send people to attract the firepower of Chimera No. 17, wait until its energy flow enters the cooling time, and then let the hunters set off. Even if the speed is slower at this time, there should be time to enter before the cooling is completed. Safe zone?”
"You are not in Tianfu City during this period, so you may not know the changes in Chimera No. 17..." Song Yarong whispered, "Its stress response has no cooling time now. No matter how much bait is sent in, it will only be in vain. Just increased casualties.”
"Is this...adaptive evolution?" Sun Hang was slightly startled, "After the last experience, it found that its cooling gave us a loophole to exploit, so it has blocked this loophole now?"
< br>
"It should be...especially after the intelligence of the 'Insecticide Plan' was exposed. Every mutation and evolution of it will make it more difficult to implement the entire combat plan...So now each department basically operates independently, just to Minimize the leakage of information as much as possible," Song Yarong said, looking meaningfully at Fukada Weixi, who was standing next to Sun Hang, "Your mission this time is very critical."
Sun Hang naturally knew that the task she proposed was to protect Fukada Miki - if Chimera No. 17 knew that such a person had joined the insecticide project, then in Sun Hang's imagination alone, it would at least exceed Ten ways to abolish Miki Fukada's "eye of death" ability.
"You are also crucial." Sun Hang tapped his head with his fingers and signaled to Song Yarong, "After all, you are also one of the insiders. If you are attacked, the secret will also be leaked."
"I know, so once I am attacked by something strange, I will not hesitate to kill myself." Song Yarong said extremely decisive words in a calm tone.
"Courage is commendable, but unfortunately, it is useless." Sun Hang shook his head, "Dead people will also provide intelligence to Chimera No. 17."
He thought of his memory acquisition ability - even if the target is dead, as long as the death time is not long, he can still extract most of the memories from the other person's brain.
For a recently deceased person, the retrieved memories are almost as complete as for a living person.
The only way is to blow up the whole head directly, which can prevent the memory from being retrieved.
But this method is only useful for ordinary people.
The memory carrier of ordinary people is the brain, but in infected people... the memes in their bodies can also be used as memory carriers.
As long as the meme does not completely dissipate, there is still a risk that the memory can be read.
Song Yarong happened to be an infected person.
"You'd better try to strengthen the security around you, both you and Yang Qi." Sun Hang said.
