The entrance to the Honglian cockpit is at the cervical vertebrae of the back, diagonally downward and deep into the body. This is one of the three cores of the Honglian, the control core. The reason why the cockpit is designed at the back is because the engineers believe that this It is the safest position, under layers of protection, and the most convenient for ejection and escape. The cockpit itself is a spherical pressure-resistant shell cast from high-strength titanium alloy, with a compressive strength of more than 110 MPa, which is equivalent to that of a heavy sinker. It will not deform even when entering the Mariana Trench, and can provide sufficient protection to the driver - enough protection in the eyes of earthlings.
"This place is different from what I imagined." Phytolacca stepped into the hatch with one foot, raised his head and looked around, "I thought it would be a little more complicated."
He originally thought that the cockpit would have seats, monitors, joysticks and densely packed buttons, as mechanized and instrumented as the cockpit of a fighter jet, but to his surprise, the cockpit was a smooth spherical space without seats. There is no display, no buttons or joysticks, just simple handles on the white interior walls.
"It's indeed different from what you think." Shen Jiang put on his helmet and got in, "But it's more complicated than you think."
The space in the cabin is not spacious, and it can accommodate one person to move around freely, but it will become crowded if another person is squeezed in. Shanglue and Shen Jiang are squeezed together, like they are crowded on a bus, and the former wants to avoid suspicion and move to the side. Give way, but the floor under your feet is not flat. The spherical inner wall is unstable, and your feet slip up and slide down again.
Phytolacca could only reach out and grab the handle on the inner wall to stabilize himself.
The inner and outer hatches were slowly closed and sealed, and the last ray of light was cut off. The surrounding area suddenly became dark and silent.
Phytolacca breathed silently in the darkness.
Shen Jiang was also breathing.
Suddenly the girl said: "Hold on tight."
Phytolacca subconsciously grasped the handle, and then, just like the elevator cable broke and fell freely, their feet were in the air, and Phytolacca could feel the spherical cockpit tilting and sliding deep into the body of the giant machine.
In less than a second, the cockpit slid into the bottom of the chute. The two men shook due to inertia and collided with each other.
"Check that the respirator is ok, check that the intercom is ok, check that the force feedback system is ok, check that the nerve connection is ok." Shen Jiang spoke while moving her limbs. As she spoke, the cockpit slowly lit up.
Every inch of the inner wall of the cockpit lit up, emitting a soft white light. Phytolacca looked around in amazement. They seemed to be inside a spherical fluorescent lamp. The 360-degree white light illuminated his big gray pants. Looking at this posture, it is not an ordinary cockpit. It is indeed more complicated than Phytolacca imagined.
"Outer vision activated." Shen Jiang said.
As soon as she finished speaking, the white inner wall of the cockpit seemed to turn into transparent glass, with almost no blind spots. Phytolacca's eyes widened and he exclaimed in amazement.
He stood fifty meters high and overlooked the entire workshop. At this moment, he was Honglian.
So advanced.
"The anti-arrival giant equipment equipment codename Honglian first pilot Shen Jiang, AHDA406619890713266, voiceprint verification, iris verification, fingerprint verification." Shen Jiang said, "System activation."
More complex windows and data emerged on the inner wall, forming a virtual control panel. Shen Jiang could drag them at will. Her fingers clicked and danced on the bulkhead in front of her, adjusting the parameters of the giant machine under her feet.
"IRGF injection."
The light blue transparent liquid quickly rose from under his feet. Phytolacca tapped it with his fingers and squeezed it. It was slightly sticky. Before he could do anything further, the liquid level had already reached his waist and legs.
Shen Jiang was still operating the control panel expressionlessly, and turned to glance at Phytolacca, who looked around like a curious monkey.
"Be sure to wear a respirator and supervise. If the respirator fails, you will drown here." Shen Jiang said, "This is not EVA. You can't breathe here."
"What is this liquid for?" Phytolacca asked.
"Resisting impact and providing weightless effect." Shen Jiang replied.
As the water level got higher and higher, reaching below the two people's heads, the weightlessness effect that Shen Jiang mentioned was realized. They slowly floated up and then suspended in the center of the spherical cabin.
Shangwei had never learned how to control his limbs in a weightless state, so his arms and legs were floating around, which aroused Shen Jiang's disgust. The latter said that he regretted not bringing in a rope, otherwise Shanglu would have been killed. The land is tied into crabs. But for Shen Jiang, she has long been familiar with it, and the advantage of operating giant machinery can only be realized when she is weightless. The girl flipped her body in the buffer very skillfully, as agile as a fish, and touched any part of the inner wall of the cockpit at will. a little.
"You will make a good astronaut." Phytolacca said.
Shen Jiang pushed lightly on the bulkhead, and then slowly sank down. She looked at the bulkhead above her head and shook her head: "I don't want to go to space."
"Then is there somewhere you want to go?"
"Guren's basic settings have been completed." The girl turned over and huddled in her heavy equipment, then she spread her arms and turned around, "As you can see, this is Guren's control core. "
The transparent bulkhead makes her appear to be floating in mid-air.
This is the control core of Honglian. Phytolacca did not expect it to look like this. As a giant weapon that resists the coming of high dimensions, it is too beautiful.
"All data and information will be displayed on the surrounding screen. This is a spherical screen with no dead ends. You can do any operation you want." Shen Jiang pointed around, "I said that the core task of fighting the angels is Calculation, so manipulating the arms and legs of the giant machine is a relatively simple task. Simple actions can be completed by the computer itself. If manual operation is required, then the force feedback exoskeleton system on my body can be used."
"Simulation operation?"
Shen Jiang nodded: "You can't control the arms and legs with the joystick. The best way is that her hands are your hands and her legs are your legs."
"But she has four arms."
"The operation is assisted by the neural connection system." Shen Jiang said, "This system was developed by your automation. The supervision is from the unit where you came."
Phytolacca held the handle and floated in the transparent light blue buffer. Bubbles bubbled up regularly. He and the girl faced each other back to back. Phytolacca also tried to click on the spherical screen. This screen was larger than he imagined. It's very sensitive, and a lot of incomprehensible pop-up windows pop up with just one click.
This is an operating system that he doesn't understand.
It's not Windows, it's not Linux, it's not any system he has ever seen. There are a lot of characters in this system that look familiar yet unfamiliar to him.
He had seen them in courses on complex functions and differential geometry, but now he had forgotten all about them.
"I'm not going to start it, am I?"
"No." Shen Jiang replied, "Honglian's body has not been unlocked yet."
"Why not design a two-person cockpit? One more person should be able to share the work pressure." Phytolacca was a little curious, "Fighters all have two seats, one is responsible for flying, and the other is responsible for navigation or fire control."
"Because the efficiency improvement is not big, it's like handing over half of your math problems to others, and they still have to start from scratch." Shen Jiang said, "The giant machine does not need to set up an additional driver. In most cases, Angels will not give you time to discuss and verify your answers. When we face angels, we can only make decisions alone, either right or wrong."
Shang Lu turned his head, and through the two helmet masks, he could only see half of his fair face in profile.
The headset paused for a moment, then continued:
"In the most urgent situation, only one person can make the decision."
