Chapter 276 Mad Dog Theory

As the competition progressed, more and more spectators with mechanical experience had noticed that Xia Fei and Constantine did not repair the warrior-class light combat drone, but instead used limited parts to reassemble it.

It is impossible to explain what their work looks like, but it is certain that it is definitely a combat drone, but it is different from the common models and does not belong to any known type in the alliance. (Dingding novel hand-written novel)

Because it is a temporarily assembled drone, their work is more than one level worse than the original Samurai-class drone in terms of firepower and defense. However, this is not the key. The key is that Xia Fei and Constantine did it, and the parts are so They manually assembled these defective products into a usable drone.

This is by no means an easy task, nor is it as simple as putting together building blocks. First, you need to re-plan the various subsystems of a drone, and then arrange the circuit output and input ports, firepower deployment, and power deployment.

If there is powerful intelligent engineering software to assist, Xia Fei's work will definitely be much easier. Unfortunately, the competition does not allow the use of computers. Everything must be done with his own brain. The calculation amount is large and the calculations are very complex. Few people can understand it.

Li Mo, who was a little further away, saw the actions of Xia Fei and Constantine. He suddenly realized that he might have gone in the wrong direction. He always thought that today's game was to test the players' proficiency in dispatching difficult and complicated diseases, but he It was only then that I suddenly realized that the real purpose of the competition was to test the players’ creative ability and their ability to adapt to extremely difficult situations.

Li Mo's forehead quickly became covered with sweat. He hurriedly disassembled the assembled drone. If he continued to install it, even if the drone could restore its appearance in the end, it would still be impossible to fly, even though he was reluctant to do so. , but he decided to follow Xia Fei’s example and redesign and assemble the drone.

The biggest problem now is that there is not enough time. The electronic timer tells the players that they only have seventy-nine minutes left.

In the lounge of the honorary members of the Machinists Association, several senior mechanics are becoming more and more interested in this game. Since they are the chief referees of this game, every move and every choice made by the players will be clearly known. Just a few clicks on the computer in your hand and everything will be clear.

"Which one of the two players, Xia Fei or Constantine, do you think has a better plan?" asked Nian Fuguang, the general manager of this competition.

Everyone was silent for a while. The competition is still in progress. Xia Fei's drone has not yet been finalized, so it is not easy to judge the pros and cons.

The fat old man Lu Xuanxin said bluntly: "Xia Fei reduced the defense system's full sprint drone firepower, while Constantine is more balanced. All factors have been taken into consideration. Constantine's design should be better."

An old man with a goatee next to him said: "Old Lu, you can't say that. Although Xia Fei's design has lost part of its defense, it has adjusted the attack power of the fire system to a level similar to that of a new drone. You Seeing that he is still deliberately correcting the speed of the rapid cannon, if he can really succeed, the firepower of his drone will probably be even sharper than the brand new one. You are engaged in defense systems, so of course you will target Constantine, but Those of us who are engaged in fire control hope to get the maximum firepower output. From my point of view, Xia Fei's design is better. It can push the firepower to the limit under such limited conditions. Not everyone can do it. ”

Fatty Lu Xuan snorted coldly and said to himself: "If there is no defense system, no matter how strong the attack power is, it will be useless."

"What did you say?" Goatee became anxious on the spot. He stood up and said sternly: "Offense is the best defense. Haven't you heard of it?"

"I've heard of it." Lu Xuan counterattacked calmly: "But it's just a wave. If it's a protracted battle, it depends on its own defensive performance."

The top veterans of these mechanics associations are all experts in various systems. Of course, they will have differences if their positions are different. The question of defense or offense has been debated within the alliance for tens of thousands of years, and there has never been a fixed answer.

Even the most powerful battleship in the universe has difficulty achieving balance. The relationship between spear and shield is like the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. No one can explain it.

Defense expert Lu Xuan and fire control expert Goatee quarreled endlessly, and soon other authorities in different fields joined the fight. The most important VIP room of the Mechanics Association turned into a vegetable market in the blink of an eye, with constant abuse.

"That's enough," Nian Fuguang said in a deep voice. As the Supreme Emperor of the Mechanics Association, the commander-in-chief and chief referee of eleven consecutive Golden Finger Cups, Nian Fuguang's influence has even exceeded his field. As soon as the roar came out, everyone immediately fell silent, sitting on their seats angrily, and each other's faces were livid.

"It's not like you don't know that there is no fixed answer to the question of firepower or defense. Even if you argue for ten thousand years, there will be no result. I don't think it's better to wait until the end of the game to eliminate Xia Fei and Constantine. All the players are called here and asked to talk about their design ideas. How about giving full points to the one whose idea is more reasonable?" Nian Fuguang said.

This method is naturally good. It is much better to listen to the players' ideas than to have a quarrel with a few outsiders. Everyone agreed. Although they agreed, they did not speak to each other anymore and maintained a cold war.

Seven minutes and 40 seconds before the end of the game, Xia Fei completed his work first. Since his superpower is speed, he has an absolute advantage in hand speed. His drone is more complicated than Constantine's design. A lot, but it takes less time.

Avril stood up from her seat nervously. Through the video system, she already knew that what Xia Fei completed was not a warrior drone, but a very weird thing.

Avril consulted Pang Xing for his opinion and wanted to know what Xia Fei had done. Unfortunately, Pang Xing knew little about machinery, let alone the essentials of combat drones.

I have to say that Xia Fei's taste is a little questionable. He made this improvised drone look very ferocious, like a huge black cactus, covered with hard thorns of different lengths. It can almost be described as ugly.

Seeing that other contestants had assembled samurai-level drones that were exactly the same as before, but her Xia Fei had installed a messy monster, Avril couldn't help but feel worried. She didn't want to see Xia Fei lose the game. , especially losing to Li Mo and the nondescript Constantine.

In fact, there are many people who think Xia Fei's machine is ugly. In an instant, there were hundreds of millions of messages on the Star Network, all commenting on the appearance of Xia Fei's work. Almost everyone thought that this machine lacked aesthetics. ugly.

Someone started a poll to select the ugliest work in the history of the Goldfinger Contest. Xia Fei's cactus-shaped drone was decisively selected with 99.99% of the votes.

Xia Fei doesn't know the world's evaluation of his work. Even if he knows, he will not change his original idea. Combat drones are not born for beauty, they exist for combat. As for other things, they are completely beyond the scope of Xia Fei's consideration. .

Lighting a cigarette, Xia Fei quickly checked his drone. After all, it was a temporary piece of work that had not been tested by the engineering simulation system. Xia Fei did not have much confidence in its performance.

On the other side, Li Mo was already sweating profusely. Although he imitated Xia Fei and started to reassemble the machine, after all, he started relatively late, and he did not have the extraordinary hand speed of Xia Fei, so Until now, it was only about 55% completed, and he only had a few minutes left.

Two minutes and seven seconds before the end of the game, Constantine's work was completed. Compared with Xia Fei's ferocious cactus, Constantine's drone looked quite satisfactory. It was like a rectangular box with a stupid head. Stupid and sharp-edged.

Countless people who were watching the competition were once again angry. Constantine's work was slightly more regular than Xia Fei's, but it could not be called beautiful, so his drone quickly occupied the second place on the list of the ugliest works. name.

The audience frowned. This was really a strange game. Xia Fei and Constantine, who had performed well before, created two of the ugliest drones in history. Li Mo, the number one seed in the competition, did not respond when the game was over. Able to complete one's own work.

Quite a few contestants assembled samurai-level drones, but no one looked good because they knew very well that such drones were just decorations and could not even fly, let alone fighting.

Xia Fei checked his work and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he took a step forward and walked out. At the same time, he raised his head and smiled at Avril in the stands. Avril's hanging heart finally dropped after seeing Xia Fei's confident look. He came down and waved to Xia Fei with a red face.

On the other side, Constantine followed closely and walked out. He looked at Xia Fei's work and then at his own, and couldn't help but smile proudly.

"The competition time has come. Please stop what you are doing and leave the scene within ten seconds. Otherwise, you will be sentenced to violation." The cold girl in the competition monitoring system said. All smart computers have this voice. It seems to be carved out of the same mold, with nothing new at all.

Xia Fei passed through the inspection gate and then stopped aside to wait for his score. However, as several seconds passed, nothing was displayed on the light screen. The same was true for Constantine. The two of them looked at each other strangely, not knowing what was going on.

Each of the players who came out immediately had points, but without exception they all had zero points.

The scene was filled with excitement. It was unbelievable that so many zero points appeared at the same time. In the eyes of many outsiders, the cactus assembled by Xia Fei should have received zero points, not these well-behaved players.

Li Mo followed the flow of people and came to the inspection door. He was sweating in his heart. He hesitated at the door and then gritted his teeth and passed through, as if he had sacrificed himself generously.

"Twenty-three points"

"Finally someone scored"

"That's not right. Li Mo didn't finish the game. How can he get points?"

"Yes, there are many players who have completed the competition requirements but still got zero points. Li Mo has only completed more than half of it. How come he has points?"

"The Li family has a big business, and we don't know if they can bribe the referee."

The people in the stands and the audience watching the game through the Star Network were talking a lot, wondering what happened in today's game. Not to mention so many zero points, there were also people like Xia Fei who didn't score.

The rich imagination of human beings scares away other creatures. Just a few seconds after Li Mo's score came out, the Star Network was full of rumors. Some said that Li Mo had bribed the referee, some said that the intelligent monitoring system had malfunctioned, and some said that Li Mo had bribed the referee. Some even linked this bizarre assessment to the Zerg conspiracy, believing that an alien race had infiltrated the Human Alliance and deliberately caused sabotage.

Li Mo smiled maliciously and came to Xia Fei's side, Konstantin, and deliberately walked around them, as if he was laughing at them for not even scoring.

At this time, a staff member said to them: "The competition committee requires you two to go to the referee center now."

Xia Fei was slightly stunned. He didn't know why the competition committee called him over. Constantine also didn't know why.

After saying hello to Avril, Xia Fei and Constantine walked out under the leadership of the staff. Li Mo did not leave. The competition committee summoned Xia Fei, which aroused great interest in him and wanted to know what it was. reason.

Taking the elevator to the sixth floor, Xia Fei came to this old men's club. There were nine people present. They all had the Medal of Honor of the Machinists Association on their chests and wore the cyan uniforms only worn by union veterans. Only these people They are all elderly, many of them have a pot-bellied appearance, and their uniforms no longer look as elegant as they once did.

"Please take a seat." Nian Fuguang said with a smile: "I am the chief referee of this Gold Finger Cup Mechanic Competition, Nian Fuguang. These people here are also veterans of the association. We have some questions that we would like to know about. "

Xia Fei said: "If you have anything, just ask."

Nian Fuguang nodded and said: "Constantine, first tell me what are the key points of the drone you assembled in today's competition? And for what purpose was it assembled like this?"

Constantine said: "My idea is actually very simple. Try to make combat drones have more balanced performance, especially in terms of armor. If a combat drone does not have solid defense, no matter how powerful the firepower is, it will be useless. "On the battlefield, you need to survive first and then attack the enemy."

"So I re-reinforced the outer shell with 15mm alloy steel plates, and made corresponding internal adjustments, striving to improve the survivability of the drone."

The fat old man Lu Xuan was very satisfied with Constantine's answer. He himself studies defense systems, so he would naturally focus on the defense capabilities of drones.

Nian Fuguang nodded, "What you said makes some sense, but the drone you modified has insufficient power and is very slow in speed and cannot track high-speed targets. Moreover, the warrior-class drone is equipped with a rapid artillery. The range is very short, why don’t you improve the range of the artillery so that it can attack the enemy in a wide range?”

Constantine spread his arms helplessly and said: "Because I don't have enough time and materials, being able to make it like this is my limit."

Everyone was still very satisfied with Constantine's words, which were reasonable and without any exaggeration.

Nian Fuguang asked Xia Fei again: "The appearance of your work is very weird. Of course, this is not the main point. We want to know why the drone you assembled crazily increases its vitality but does not take into account the proper defense? "

Xia Fei smiled and said, "Because besides outputting firepower, I can't think of anything else this drone can do on the battlefield."

Everyone was curious, and the quick-talking Lu Xuan said: "How can there be nothing else to do? When the drone is attacked, it has to fly around at a distance to avoid being hit. If it is hit, it also needs the ability to withstand strikes. After being interrupted by the enemy's electromagnetic bomb, it is necessary to immediately establish secondary contact with the command system, which is not just as simple as firing a gun."

Xia Fei said calmly: "The drone you are talking about is a normal drone. The one I assembled will not only attack but also attack with all its might."

"Why do you think so?" Nian Fuguang asked with a frown.

Xia Fei said: "Constantine also said just now that in order to improve the survivability of the drone, he installed a 15mm alloy steel plate. The steel plate can indeed improve defense, but what can the 15mm steel plate really defend against the enemy? The spear?"

"The defense of the fifteen millimeter alloy plate is too weak. This extra layer of steel plate will not play any role. Instead, it will reduce the speed of the drone. I have carefully calculated that it is impossible to improve the drone by relying on existing raw materials." defense capabilities.”

"You may think that what I said is wrong. If you use all the accessories, you can increase your resistance to blows by 10%. What I want to say is that this is just a piece of scrap metal. Is there anything like that? Is ten percent defensive so important? No matter how you strengthen it, the enemy will be killed instantly with one shot, so you won’t waste limited resources on defense.”

Everyone was speechless for a while. What Xia Fei said did make sense. A piece of white paper would be broken with just a slight poke. The same effect would be achieved by overlapping two pieces of white paper.

"My purpose is very simple. I use this improvised combat drone as a disposable item, concentrate my superior resources to strengthen the attack power, and strive to bite the enemy hard before death. Even if I don't die, I have to let it go. The other person feels pain."

"You can't make a qualified unmanned fighter jet using these materials, so I made it a qualified mad dog. It can't bite anyone. There's nothing to say about it, because its performance is there. I'm afraid it's only as good as a brand-new drone." One-tenth, but as long as the opponent is accidentally bitten, he will have to see blood."

"As well as the appearance you mentioned before, the reason why I welded so many alloy spikes on the outer shell of the drone is that if the artillery fails to hit it, it will directly hit the enemy and die with him."

Everyone was stunned for a while. Xia Fei's idea of ​​preferring to live in pieces rather than live in ruins was a bit crazy. Ghost Shadow once gave Xia Fei's idea a very appropriate name.
