From scrap mecha to science fiction paradise

Chapter 69 The Heavenly Sword is Forged
"[Missile Engineering] Upgrade Requirements - Internship: Participate in the development and design of any kind of missile and achieve success. (Completed)"

"Upgrade requirements completed!"

"Missile Engineering LV1 → Missile Engineering LV2"

"Your relevant knowledge has gone a step further; you have mastered the relevant manufacturing processes of armor-piercing, armor-breaking, and armor-breaking projectiles."

"You have opened a new upgrade requirement! (Expand to view)"

"Upgrade requirements - test: use your own work to complete a practical test."

"Upgrade requirements - Precision guidance: Make your own works accurately hit ten enemy units."

All software systems were integrated and imported into the Tianjian tactical cruise missile that had been manufactured long ago, and the prompt message for the upgrade panel also popped up.

This time, Lin Yu did not absorb and organize knowledge as usual, but couldn't wait to take out the Tianjian tactical cruise missile and smart glasses.

The overall appearance of the Tianjian tactical cruise missile is just as its name suggests, resembling an eight-sided Han sword.

However, the 'sword body' is in the style of modern mechanical metal.

The texture on it is simple and cold, mainly painted in matte black, with bright silver pretending to be the cutting edge.

The overall length is about one meter two.

Of course, the thickness must be far beyond that of a normal sword. Even if Lin Yu tried his best to compress it, it would still be two palms thick.

This is despite the fact that he spared no expense and did not use chemical fuel thrusters in the propulsion system, but used micro-ion thrusters as the power component.

Using micro-ion thrusters as consumable missile thrusters is undoubtedly an extremely luxurious act in terms of cost.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. If you want to truly move as freely as a flying sword, and if you want to achieve long-term cruising and flexible steering, only the ion propulsion system can do it.

The tail of the sword hilt is the main thruster nozzle. As the main power source, the sword body also has a small number of hidden nozzles for adjusting the flight attitude.

At the same time, the ion thruster does not need to carry too much additional working medium and can rely on nuclear batteries to achieve endurance. This can maintain lightness and achieve long-term cruising effects.

Of course, this is only one of them. The entire Tianjian tactical cruise missile is actually made based on the Chunyang Emperor’s personality’s understanding of flying swords. There are many details involved. Even the lines on the sword body have the effect of breaking wind and diversion. .

In terms of guidance system, it is equipped with audio-visual detection, infrared detection, active radar detection, and a composite guidance system that combines corresponding guidance and command guidance.

The warhead, that is, the part that creates damage, can also be replaced in different ways.

"Welcome to Stan Group's fourth-generation drone matrix system."

"Adaptation equipment detected and added to the armed matrix."

"Equipment name: Tianjian Tactical Cruise Missile-01"

"Retrieving satellite information...climate information..."

"Record, Tianjian tactical cruise missile prototype, first flight test..."

Wearing the back armor of the Chunyang Emperor Armor, he also put on his smart glasses and turned on the drone matrix system.

After Lin Yu made some settings and operations, he pointed his sword into shape, and then his thoughts moved: "Get up!" Phew!
No additional launch structure was needed. The tail of the Tianjian tactical cruise missile in front of him ejected light blue flames, flew forward, then circled 360 degrees from bottom to top, and circled in front of Lin Yu. Soaring straight into the sky.

At the same time, a screen immediately appeared in Lin Yu's smart glasses, which displayed all the audio-visual and radar data detected by the Tianjian tactical cruise missile.

The first time he dealt with this information, he didn't switch to the Chunyang Emperor personality immediately, so he was still relatively unfamiliar at first.

But after all, he was only operating a Sky Sword missile. He quickly got used to this feeling and drove it straight into the sky, cruising and speeding for several minutes before calling it back with unfinished thoughts.

Because it uses command guidance and ion propulsion, the warhead also uses highly controllable inert explosives. If it is not actively detonated, it can naturally be launched and retracted. It can be used as a flying sword without any problem.

"Unfortunately, there are still some limitations. It would be better if it could be replaced by brain-computer interaction."

Although a little excited and unfinished, Lin Yu still calmly evaluated the trial Tianjian cruise missile.

At present, the Tianjian cruise missile is definitely qualified as a cruise missile, but to achieve the perfect effect like the flying sword of the gods, it will definitely require a lot of testing, fine-tuning and optimization improvements.

In addition, today's neural interaction systems are still a bit uninteresting. The real ideal state should actually use brain-computer interaction technology.

Brain-computer interaction, as the name suggests, is the interaction technology between the brain and machinery.

In essence, this is actually a further upgraded version of neural interaction technology.

Neural interaction technology intercepts nerve signals that have been sent by the brain, and can also reversely transmit some simple pain signals.

This mode is very suitable for use on mechas, because second-generation mechas generally use bionic bodies, which are similar to the structure of the human body and can be operated like arms and fingers.

But if it is used on additional objects such as drones and Tianjian cruise missiles, it is not so easy to use.

They are completely different from the body. They are still external objects. The neural signals sent from the brain do not contain the control signals of these 'non-human' objects.

The reason why neural interaction can be used to control the drone in this case is because it is equipped with a corresponding encoding and translation program.

For example, Stan Group's fourth-generation UAV matrix system, in addition to assisting in controlling multiple UAV formations, its real core function is code translation.

That is to say, the control signal of a certain subtle part of the human body, such as a finger, originally controls the finger to slide to the left, but the coding and translation system will 'translate' it and present it on the drone as an instruction such as turning left.

But this is essentially still an instruction, and there is a gap in the middle. Moreover, obtaining various information about the drone also requires a process of observation, thinking, and operation, and the implementation is not smooth.

Brain-computer interaction technology goes a step further and directly captures the EEG signals generated by neurons in the brain.

No matter whether humans are thinking or doing other activities, they are all activities of neurons, which will inevitably produce brain electrical signals. Monitoring brain electrical signals is essentially equivalent to monitoring superficial thinking.

Encoding the records of brain electrical activity under different thoughts and ideas is equivalent to a translation manual. By referring to this manual, the program will know what you want to do every time you obtain different brain electrical signals.

This is the real control of the mind by thinking, and it can even output text, output sounds, draw images, etc. just by thinking.

Correspondingly, if signals are transmitted in the reverse direction, pain, touch, vision, and hearing can be created, allowing humans and machines to be completely integrated.

External devices can also be operated like mental control, controlling movement directly in the mind and planning action trajectories with thoughts. At the same time, it can inherit the body's three-dimensional space perception and balance perception, etc. It is truly like controlling your own body.

If Lin Yu guessed correctly, the third-generation body above the second-generation body is most likely to use brain-computer interaction technology, making man and machine integrated. You can obtain touch, vision and smell by relying on the body alone, and you can also operate floating cannons and the like. external weapons.
