Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 1893 Benefits

A highly ranked engineering elite also supported this person's remarks.

  "As we have learned from the development and experience of the robot project with Daxia, for example, an independent and obtrusive head design is completely meaningless for a robot. The robot can place the processor and sighting device in the easily protected chest cavity instead of a conspicuous and vulnerable part at the highest point of the body.

As for automatic firearms held by four limbs, compared with remote-controlled weapon platforms, this kind of splicing that requires modification only increases the mechanical complexity without any advantages.

Although the double lower limb design enhances the ability to pass through complex terrain compared to wheeled and tracked designs, it increases the complexity of the mechanical structure. Compared with multi-legged and unmanned aerial vehicle designs, it does not have an advantage in the ability to pass through complex terrain. On the contrary, it is at a disadvantage.

Judging from the test data in recent times, the upright body of the mecha has also increased the bullet-receiving area and greatly reduced the concealment coefficient.

The most important thing is that if the mecha is used as reconnaissance equipment, its operation is complicated, control is difficult, stealth capability is poor, and its endurance is inferior to that of ordinary drones.

As main combat equipment, the battlefield survivability of military mechas is lower than that of ordinary soldiers, and as a fire support platform, it cannot be compared with existing mature products.

My conclusion is that this military mecha is not suitable as a standard weapon equipment, and even as a guard equipment, it is not suitable for the usage environment.

We should put the budget increase from Congress into other more useful and important projects instead of wasting resources on the humanoid mecha project!"

A senior combat staff officer and an elite engineer in military weapons research and development, both are responsible for their own work and strive to make the most of these precious budgets.

The current international situation has become increasingly tense, and they don’t want their country to fail again!

  No matter whether it is a small-scale war or a large-scale group operation, victory must be achieved!

However, although their voices were loud and even echoed in the conference room, no one adopted their suggestions in the subsequent discussion.

Are you kidding? If the mecha project is cancelled, how can they collect money from the divided projects?

Although there will be "income" if you switch to other projects, it still needs to be discussed with the interests of the original project group before some of the cake can be divided.

Soon, the engineer heard an elder whom he had always admired talking: "The mecha project is indeed not suitable for large-scale deployment at our current technological stage, but the Daxia Anxi military has always arranged mecha combat teams in exercises over the years, and these mecha combat teams have been able to achieve excellent results every time.

Compared with drones, the mechas driven by humans are not afraid of interference equipment. In dangerous battlefields, mecha drivers can control the mechas and achieve brilliant results that neither tanks nor drones can achieve.

  If we cannot do it, it means we have fallen behind. Not only can we not stop the development of the mecha project, we should also invest more resources to catch up with Jiuzhou Technology's mecha technology as much as possible, and then surpass Jiuzhou Technology's mecha to become the real ace mecha of Blue Star!

At the same time, mechas are not only used in wars, they can also play a role in city security, comparable to Captain America! Even more powerful than Captain America.

As long as our people see the presence of mechas in the patrol team, they will have higher expectations for this high-tech weapon, and the weapons of those criminals will not be able to penetrate the titanium alloy protective armor of the mechas. "

Not only will the mecha project not be abolished, but the money will be increased! What's even more outrageous is that many outstanding military elites in the conference room agree with this decision.

"That's right! We need a powerful mecha squad! Arm our warriors and make all enemies fear them! Only in this way can we bring peace!"

"In modern warfare, where weapons of mass destruction cannot be easily deployed, combat mechas can achieve excellent results in small-scale encounters and positional warfare."

"Humanoid mechas can be used for city security, and in battlefield environments, we can completely develop alien mechas! If we can master neural transmission technology, we can even make mechas into smaller, more destructive unmanned weapons!"

"If we can overcome the technical difficulties of mecha, it means that we have mastered the corresponding technology. We can provide these technologies to major companies and let them make commercial products to compete with Jiuzhou Technology!"

In the U.S. military industry market, there is no clear boundary between commercial and military use of technology. The only difference is whether the "benefits" can be shared and transferred.

This meeting quickly turned the "failed experiment" into a rally to pledge that "difficulties must be overcome."

  The conclusion drawn by the senior elites was: "Because we are not strong enough, the mecha experiment failed. Therefore, we must have more money to develop mechas so that others can no longer destroy our experiments!

If we want to become strong again, we must invest money! Invest more resources!

The current failure is because we didn’t invest enough resources before! ..."

It's not about saying black is white, but no matter black or white, after the final conclusion comes out, both will turn into gray.

After the meeting, the middle-aged elite engineer walked in the corridor with a lonely look in his eyes.

He has been working in this building for quite some time, but he has always been working on scientific research projects and tactical formulation. It is precisely because he is diligent enough and has a diploma from Yale University that he is able to attend meetings of this level at this age.

But he didn't expect that at this point, when the project had obviously run into major problems, why would this group of high-level executives who usually looked very strong become so "short-sighted"! ?

"Baker, if you are not used to your recent work, you can come to me when you are free. I can transfer you to another job position. I believe your father and your senior will also support this decision."

Just now in the meeting, the old engineer who supported the military mecha project and asked for more resources patted the shoulder of this elite engineer, whispered these words, and walked past him.

This building is no longer as majestic as it once was, and the people working in it are no longer the elites who were truly passionate and had dreams.
