Section 13 First flight(1/2)
"Bang...bang..."
The continuous punching sounds seemed to never stop. The huge impact hammer was constantly pulled up and fell down, stamping the iron plates into molds, and then being pushed onto the conveyor belt by the pneumatic push rod.
The squeaky conveyor belt kept sending the newly stamped iron plate parts to the next workshop. After several cutting processes, it was coated with an anti-corrosion coating mainly composed of carbon powder, silica and special resin materials and then entered the paint workshop.
After a series of baking and cooling, a complete armor plate ran through the entire production line, stacked together with twelve pieces and packaged them by a car-shaped robot to send them to the assembly workshop.
Such a huge factory, from beginning to end, there are only two doormen and two technicians working. The unformed armor plates are spent most of their time on conveyor belts, and various machines keep knocking and cutting on them...
... Such an advanced "unmanned factory" is rare even on earth.
However, not all processes are so simple, and can be processed with simple repetitive actions.
For example, assembly.
It can be said that the assembly workshop is the second largest number of workers in the entire robot manufacturing process.
Although there are many arm-shaped robots here who are helping with some heavy or repetitive work, many of the overly fine work still need to be completed by humans.
The workshop that requires the most manpower is actually a test workshop. The assembled robot here will be installed with software, and then the workers will manually test its various joint responses, response speeds, and whether the simple AI parameters it carries are correct, etc.
...After dozens of testing processes, a defense robot was produced.
However, manufacturing this robot requires the cooperation of dozens of parts production factories and the hard work of dozens of workers... but in fact it can only be used as cannon fodder.
But even cannon fodder can play a key role. Although the defense robot requires huge resource investment, and its main opponents are just worm jumpers and corroders, the threat of worm jumpers and corroders is definitely not small.
Needless to say, the corrosive worm is another type of worm that can use acid spew to launch an attack. Although it looks inconspicuous, when the corrosive worm appears for the first time, it instantly causes huge losses to the Wilderness Star Base.
At that time, the defense robot was not coated with anti-corrosion coatings, and the corrosiver could scrap a robot with just one attack, which eventually led to the robot's production speed not keeping up with the speed of being destroyed... And no matter how superior the sky was, it could not fight against the continuous influx of ground troops.
Fortunately, the accidental discovery of an operator soon saved the precarious situation. In a battle, the robot he was manipulating was first stained with the mucus of a certain insect, and then rolled in the sand and fire, which made the surface of the armor stained with a thick layer of sand, ash and unburned carbon.
Later research found that relying on a simple mixture of toner and sand can greatly alleviate the speed of corruption, thereby greatly reducing the power of the acidic substances emitted by corrosivers.
However, before discovering this coating, the Huangxing Base failed to withstand the huge pressure of insects and lost many mine sites in succession. Even the "werewolf mine" almost lost. If it weren't for the black man who had rebelled before and his foodie werewolf, the young man from the foodie, helped to stand up and lead other werewolfs to absent from work and fight to the death for more than ten hours, Chen Zheng and others would have lost the last reliable source of metal on Huangxing.
Of course, after this, when the front stabilized again, the prisoners in the werewolf mine were pardoned from their slave status, officially joined the Huangxing Base, and became a formal member recognized by Chen Zheng.
However, the werewolfs are still stationed in the werewolf mine for the time being and have not met the residents of the base - after all, their violent tendencies and picas have forced people to be more cautious in case one of them can't help but eat the first group of residents...
During the period when Chen Zheng returned to Earth, the insects became more and more powerful.
A few months ago, the Huangxing Base no longer had the ability to send high-altitude long-distance drones to monitor the bug bases in the distance. As the insect air force is also constantly developing, it is difficult for the drone to rush out of the opponent's air defense network.
If you want to investigate, you can only dispatch the Viking drone piloted by a small person to break out of the encirclement and take a quick look at the movements of the insects within a limited time before the insects mobilize their troops to encircle and suppress them.
And the last source of information was cut off from the smallest departure. It can be said that the surrounding area of the Wilderness Star Base was occupied by insects. Even if there were no temporary bases, there would be no flying dragon team constantly patrolling.
It can be said that the power of the insect has surrounded the Wilderness Star Base so tightly...
...
"Is the situation so serious..." Chen Zheng suddenly stood up after hearing the reports from everyone and bowed to everyone in the wilderness star: "Sorry, thank you for your hard work."
“…”
The man in glasses waved his hand in a hurry, and the other aliens looked surprised and unbelievable. The reactions of the earthlings were much better, and they all said that they were not working hard, just shouting "Hello, Chief" and "Serve the people"...
"...We all know that you are working hard, and we all trust you." Dong Jie concluded.
"...I just want to say that your hard work is worth it." Chen Zheng adjusted his watch and incorporated the scenery within his roots into the holographic projection.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see our hope." Chen Zheng drove the projection and walked up the stairs...
This is a once-large shopping mall.
During the sky leak incident, most of the mall was destroyed. After this period of restoration, it became the second stage of training for trainees.
...
On the other side of the projection, on the deserted star that was light years away, people's eyes followed Chen Zheng's figure and came to the second floor of the building - the hall with transparent glass floor.
Below the floor are small rooms after room, each with this huge panoramic simulator composed of 54 screens.
The trainees wear shutter-style 3D glasses, lying in the simulator one by one, fighting against virtual characters that do not exist. The instructor group composed of Instructor Lin and the four Soldier Kings Institute will patrol the rooms of each trainee to ensure that there is no problem with their health.
"Here, you can see that all the trainees who are currently training here...the worst among them can already fight a flying dragon formation alone, and the best among them is this student."
As he said that, Chen Zheng clapped his hands, and then Chen Ning took the genius pilot Liu Xiaofeng into the side door.
The fat man Liu Xiaofeng was a little confused - a bunch of people who looked like they had no entity were staring at him, and the expressions on everyone's face seemed a little strange...
"That...I want to pee..." The little fat man shrank back and felt a little nervous.
Chen Zheng didn't care about his cowardice at all. He grabbed his arm and pulled him over: "I'll give you a grand introduction. This is our new member, a flying genius among flying geniuses. It's only been half a year since he came into contact with a drone, and it's only been less than two months since he received regular training..."
"Just yesterday, the second week of his match with Xiaoxiao... His grades have reached Xiaoxiao two-thirds! And he is still improving so far!"
"Oh my God!"
"real!?"
"Can you keep up with a small pace!"
"Of course..." Chen Zheng patted the fat man's shoulder hard, "Even if I fight him now, it will be a little difficult!"
"Wow……"
With Chen Zheng's voice, the entire conference room on Huang Xing burst into flames, and everyone turned their anticipated eyes to this little fat man who was not astonishingly beautiful.
"That is to say... today, we have the ability to eradicate the C16 bug base! Then we can restore the supply of tin ore!" Chen Zheng said excitedly.
"Hello!!"
"Yohoo————”
Looking at the holographic projections that were so happy that they threw their hats, the fat man had no idea what those strange people were happy about...
"Prepare for links to Viking fighter jets and software... This time Xiaoxiao is in charge of the base, and Xiaofeng and I flatten the base together." Chen Zheng brought the fat man to the next door of the hall - two huge instruments have been arranged here.
"Get in, don't have too much burden. You can just fight whatever you practice normally." Chen Zheng comforted the fat man while crawling into his cockpit.
The fat little boy Liu Xiaofeng took a deep breath and entered the cockpit next to him.
"Huh!? This... this is different from what we usually use!" Liu Xiaofeng said in a panic.
"Don't be afraid, it's just that the display screen has become a complete piece. The others are similar to what you usually use." Chen Zheng's voice sounded from behind Liu Xiaofeng's side.
The little fat man looked back and saw two speakers sticking to the back.
"oh……"
The little fat man lay back into the cockpit with doubts.
But... no matter what, he couldn't believe that what was in front of him...is it really the technology that would be available on the earth?
Of course not.
This super-large curved screen technology is one of the research results of Lao Xia and the man with glasses. It is transformed using existing technology on the earth. The curved screen alone is not something that can be made in ordinary factories, but is "grinded" by Chen Zhengchun bit by bit.
However, the imaging technology is relatively ordinary, mainly using holographic projection to convert it into dynamic data and then directly input it to the oval screen.
"Prepare to... link the Viking fighter."
"The data link is ready, the link countdown...3,2,1...the link is completed."
"The link... is normal, the data... is stable, you can ignite the engine." Dong Jie consciously provided support to Chen Zheng.
"Yes." Chen Zheng took a deep breath, then pushed the joystick hard, and the plane he was flying was like a rocket that penetrated into the sky.
"..." Seeing that Chen Zheng had already flown up, the little fat man was still standing there.
"This... why do you feel that the plane is a little different from usual? Are you so 'shen' with wings?" The fat man moved the joystick back and forth in confusion, feeling that the feedback speed was not satisfactory.
"Just get used to it, let's fly now and talk about it... Dong Jie, assign him a supporter." As soon as Chen Zheng finished speaking, a gentle female voice rang behind the little fat man's ears.
“Supporter No. 013 is here to serve you.”
"Huh?" The little fat man was even more panicked.
"Since you have been flying in a simulation program before, both force feedback and vibration caused by airflow are actually simulated by the program. So on the one hand, the response speed will be very fast, and on the other hand, there will be a certain sense of regularity. Maybe you have subconsciously adapted to this regularity, so you feel a little unfamiliar with the real wings."
"I...really? You..." The fat little girl Liu Xiaofeng was directly confused by the girl's words of huge information.
"Now, please be familiar with my voice and adapt to the operation... Now please flatten the wings... gently shake the joystick to make the wings tremble slightly... Think of yourself as a dragonfly..."
“…”
The fat little Liu Xiaofeng followed the young lady's voice in a confused manner and began to operate a Viking fighter plane far away from the wild star step by step. Before he knew it, he was fascinated by the extremely real touch and the force feedback full of reality...
...In just two or three minutes, he quickly adapted to the real fighter at an amazing speed, and had no rejection of some details that could not be virtualized.
"...How long did you use it?" On Huang Xing, a drone pilot who is currently in service tilted his head and asked his teammates - his teammate is the best drone pilot on Huang Xing, no doubt about it!
"Two weeks..." At this time, the pilot of the previous day had been shocked by Liu Xiaofeng and lost his language.
Previously, he had also experienced virtual simulation training. It can be said that the virtual training software used by the little fat guys was completely modified by their group of people.
Even so, the current talented pilot still had all kinds of discomforts when it came to virtual span to reality, but this little fat man with a bad appearance seemed to be born with... If it weren't for his strangeness before, he wouldn't be able to see any clumsiness now!!
"..." The two pilots looked at each other, and at the same time saw the helplessness and... relaxation in each other's heart.
Finally, they can put down that heavy burden.
To be continued...
