Tower Defense Strategy

"Hey! Big guy, why are you a robot? Do you hide the character?"

"……Yes."

"Teach me, teach me, how to choose and how to choose?"

"I have no idea."

"Humph! If you don't say it, don't say it, what a cow."

Similar conversations, Mirror 400 has been conducted at least fifty times in the last day.

In addition to the image of the robot, the mirror image is extremely poorly positioned in the game.

First of all, the slim shape is based on physical rules and existing technology. It does not have electricity to support the weapon system, so it can only use power armored weapons such as micro missiles that do not require external electricity. And because the fingers are much larger than humans, they cannot use personnel weapons.

Secondly, its height prevents it from becoming a driver.

Octopus finally let the mirror do the ground work.

In this respect, the mirror image has an advantage. It can be replaced with a mechanical arm of the Dajiang series of Seiko power armor.

"This is really amazing."

"There is nothing to say about robot repairing robots, but the mouth is too strict, otherwise I will delete the account and re-train it now."

"Didn't he say he didn't know, maybe it's a lucky reward for accumulating how many account numbers."

"The one-handed master robotic arm can quickly adjust the standing posture, how do you operate it?"

"Virtual game device, there are too many models now."

A group of idle ground workers and code farmers watched the mirror exam and chatted and discussed.

Mecha-type ground crews have similar routines in each platform level. After a day, the mirror image has reached the basic assessment requirements, and the land mecha is being rebuilt with parts.

Assembling the land mech with the tool arm of the master MKIII is similar to cheating. With the height of the mirror image, it is enough to stand on the ground to complete the land mech squatting assembly. With the help of a small forklift (transport robot), it only took a dozen It's done in minutes.

After the assessment is completed, the sergeant chief ground crew NPC will score, and the mirrored personal computer will immediately receive the promotion message and become a corporal.

Lu You immediately came up and said, "Come on with the experimental troops. We have many experts here."

"good."

"You can't cherish words like gold, come on, and introduce you to our boss."

Lu You took the mirror image to the scientific research trial center to see the sergeants of the vehicle experimental unit.

He didn't need to do anything when he just came over, just watch it by the side, and then start operating the transport robot to help.

The vehicle experimental unit currently has three tasks.

The first is the end of the unmanned shuttle project, which is all fine-tuning work. After finishing it, go to the test bench and adjust if there is a problem.

The second is the sub-type design of the wave cabin.

Like the nine-level units such as the VTF32, the Bobo cabin comes out with only an empty shell, and the equipment needs to be rebuilt.

Because the tactical actions are simple enough, you can directly transplant the UAV OS and add the corresponding device plug-ins. After much discussion, I decided to make it a remote control platform.

Then the classification is carried out under the branch of the remote control platform. Now the first model, which is a pure platform model, has been completed, and the approved model is the wave cabin AI0.

Next there is the classification of weaponization and transportation.

Weaponization is naturally at the expense of reducing transportation capacity and enhancing the strike capability of the wave cabin itself. The difference between the transportation type and the pure platform type is in terms of armor, battery life, and basic weapons.

The fourth is a new job, the initial installation of the ninth-level mech "Dragon Warrior".

The dragon warrior is a heterogeneous multi-purpose mecha with anti-joint legs and a torso between the shape of an armored vehicle and a human shape. The length is shortened and the height is increased. There are four mechanical arms, two of which are the weapon arms of the standing pile type mecha. Two human-shaped arms, and a propeller system with a small amount of deforming device behind the main cabin.

Anti-joint mechas are generally relatively short, and the height of the dragon warrior is about the same as that of the shuttle, which is more than eleven meters. The tonnage is expected to be much larger, between 80 and 120.

Its characteristic is that the single flight mileage is shorter, but the firepower on the ground can be comparable to the standing pile type mecha, a bit like a combination of anti-joint mecha and jetpack.

The assessment of dragon fighters does not require air combat scores, but air combat is still an important bonus item. Due to the large number of robotic arms and additional energy weapon loading points in the main cabin, air combat operations are extremely complex, and the gap between the upper limit and the lower limit is extremely large. Of mecha.

If required by the upper limit of the dragon warrior, it is a true elite mecha, and there may only be a few people in a division that can achieve qualified air combat scores. But if it does not require air combat capabilities, its equipment volume will not be much less than rubies.

After watching the mirror in the hangar for two days, I heard the player's question more than once: Why can't the level 9 mecha be used?

This question can be answered in a mirror image: adaptability.

For each planet of development value, the atmospheric airflow state and composition, surface environment, gravity and other values ​​are very different. When the production difficulty and cost of a mecha reach a certain level, these issues have to be considered.

Like the shadow, because the cost is high enough, the use of more versatile thrusters and oxygen management strategies has little impact on the cost, instead of needing to toss like a ninth-level unit.

This problem is not obvious in the E3 theater, which is a very terrestrial planet, and the atmospheric flow is also very gentle. The E5 side is much harsher. The oxygen content of the ice cave planet is low, but the carbon dioxide and methane content is a bit high. Units below level 7 can only use electric propellers and ducted turbines to fly.

The focus of the mirror image is naturally placed on the dragon warrior who may be the main mecha.

Lu You seemed to see it standing near the Dragon Warrior most of the time, coming over and chatting.

"Any thoughts?"

The mirror image squatted down to adjust the height, and looked at him: "What should I think?"

"Well...Is the complexity of the mecha made like this too high?"

The Dragon Warrior can be said to be the most complicated mecha so far. Regardless of whether it is the overall concept or the individual weapon system and propulsion system, the structural complexity ranks first.

Complexity and reliability are like the two ends of a balance. The price of raising one end is lowering the other end.

Mirror: "Compared with VTF32, this is a good one."

"Ouch! Speaking of that, the performance is really bad enough, I don't know why not make a long-range mecha."

"How can the range of the mecha be increased?" Mirror asked again.

Lu You said with a "Uh", "If I knew I would build mech by myself."

The mirror image shook his head: "What can't be done, at least it is completely impossible with the existing material system, and the heat dissipation system is too bloated."

The flight capability of the mecha was initially limited by the complexity of the propulsion mechanism, but now it is mainly troubled by the heat dissipation system.

Because the mecha must take into account the three-dimensional maneuverability, the steering ability of the thruster is also affected by the body shape of the mecha. As a result, it is generally made into four to eight nozzles, at least two of which are on the shoulders or waist. Under such complexity, the greater the power, the more difficult it is to dissipate heat. At the level of the ninth-level mecha, it is likely that the battery and capacitors are not exhausted, and the heat dissipation system will not be able to handle it first. Continue to strengthen the heat dissipation system and increase The weight will interfere with other systems.

Lu You: "Hey, this kind of thing can't be discussed seriously. The more we discuss it, the more I feel that the mecha is particularly unreliable."

As the time for ground handling increased, the defects of the mecha became more and more obvious, and various intractable diseases emerged one after another. If it weren't for other interstellar technology, it would have been eliminated by self-propelled guns.

"But it's pretty."

Everyone knows that humanoid mechas are nothing but beautiful, but they are an indispensable element of platform-level games, simply because they are too far apart from the mechanical appearance of geometric shapes such as cuboids and wedges.

If you abandon the sense of beauty, then an interstellar war will become a big battle, which is very easy to cause aesthetic fatigue.

Lu You's character stopped and stretched out a thumb: "Good view."

The two chatted for a while. When Lu You just turned to leave, he heard the mirror image talking to Sergeant Hackham:

"Sergeant Major~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I think the backward design will be more friendly?"

Lu You stopped and moved back slowly.

Hackham stopped the pre-design work on the slab in his hand and said: "The backward tilt is not very friendly to the stance."

Lean back, here refers to the back adjustment of the center of gravity.

For airplanes, the backward tilt of the center of gravity is conducive to gaining lift, but once the power is cut off, an automatic backward roll may occur, and it is the kind that cannot be stopped.

Putting it on the stance mech and adjusting the center of gravity will cause problems in the standing posture, and the accuracy will be affected when the stance continues to shoot. For the dragon warrior, there is another advantage, that is, the starting speed of retreating and taking off will be faster.

Mirror continued to comment: "How about strengthening the lower limbs?"

"Strengthening the lower limbs can't completely offset the effects of backward leaning." Hackham said, raising his arms and hugging his chest, seeming to be thinking.

But Hackham is a regular NPC after all, and will not make clear suggestions for no reason, unless the player gives keywords.

"Then give up some sense of beauty and use the Cochin configuration."

"Cochin configuration? Um... well, you can try it."

The Cochin configuration, an early result of the automated research and development of the mecha, is specifically used to strengthen the lower limbs of the anti-joint mecha. The shape is to add two additional supports and linked toes to the "calf" below the anti-joint. The added part is unpowered. Purely mechanical structure, able to withstand greater deviation of the center of gravity when standing. It's just that the two more small legs on the calf will completely lose the integrated beauty of the chicken feet. It is also because of the ugliness. Generally, games and platforms with organic armor elements will not use this configuration on the basic version.

However, judging from the attitude of Sergeant Hackham, the mirror image is likely to mention that it is on time. This kind of guy who can talk and laugh with the first sergeant may soon become a bigwig.

It felt a pity that he couldn't see that day, because the country C's conscription began.
