Jin Xing stayed in the base for almost three months without seeing Jiang Chen or Director Guo.
Guo Fan arranged for him to do mostly assistant-type work. These tasks were simple and did not require much technical content. Jin Xing was quite diligent and often finished the work in half a day.
You can't just wander around the base. Jin Xing really couldn't bear it anymore, so he contacted Jiang Chen through the base's dedicated phone.
Not long after Jiang Chen finished chatting with Jiang and his wife, MOSS reminded him of Jin's wake-up call.
"Hey, Jin Xing, did something happen at the base?" Jiang Chen was originally going to go to the Chengying research team to check on the progress, but Jin Xing's call made him stop.
I called suddenly. Is there something urgent?
"Boss, just leave me alone on the set. Director Guo only arranges odd jobs for me. I'm pretty familiar with these jobs. Can you arrange more important jobs?"
Um, forgot.
Jiang Chen was busy during this period, so he always forgot to mention this matter to Guo Fan. Now that Jin Xing mentioned it, he also remembered it.
"It doesn't matter when. We are currently busy with the new project and have been preparing for it. I will discuss it with Director Guo and arrange a good job for you then."
Jin Xing was also easy to coax, and after hearing his boss's promise, his mood instantly improved.
Jiang Chen hung up the phone without forgetting his own business.
He came to the place where he was responsible for researching and manufacturing Chengying. As soon as he entered, he saw the researchers whose faces were as pale as the wall.
"Impossible. Chengying has two forward modes, one is walking and the other is flying. Why do you feel there is always a problem with the transformation of these two states?"
"Because this design was improved by me later." When Jiang Chen first reported the plan, he used the method of adding a few more sets of thrusters when designing the flight state.
But he changed it later.
The reason for the change is very simple, because he found that if he directly added thrusters, there would be a lot of differences between the Chengying he designed and the original Chengying.
Although they are both flying in the sky, flying directly in the form of a mecha or flying in an unexpected way, the impact is definitely stronger in the latter.
"Academician Jiang, have you changed it?" The researcher was shocked and a little aggrieved. Why did Academician Jiang think that he had come up with it the first time? Has the newly revised design been technically verified?
However, there are also researchers who admire Jiang Chen very much.
Change the design as soon as you want, this is something only big guys dare to do.
The researchers all looked at Jiang Chen, hoping that Jiang Chen could give a good explanation.
Because the new design really exceeded their imagination.
"Academician Jiang, in this design, Cheng Ying is disguised as a fighter jet. When in flight, he will fly in the form of a fighter jet?"
"Yes, you understand it correctly. The most critical aspect of this design is the combination of fighter jets and mechas."
"Everyone should have seen or heard of Transformers, right?"
"The principle is actually similar to that."
The researchers were silent for a while.
We are talking about scientific research technology, but you are telling us about science fiction?
Transformers, aren’t they the product of Hollywood’s imagination? How to make that thing?
Is this appropriate?
Seeing the suspicion on the researcher's face, Jiang Chen didn't say anything more.
"MOSS, project the derived deformation motion video."
MOSS was extremely fast. After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he immediately controlled the laboratory lights. After turning off several main lights, MOSS used holographic technology to project the transformation process of Cheng Ying.
The transformation process was displayed in the air, and was magnified several times by MOSS. The more than fifty people in the laboratory could clearly see it no matter where they were.
The aircraft in front of them was relatively familiar to them. It was a J-20C.
Everyone basically knows that this is a new fighter jet that has been fielded by the Dragon Kingdom.
Amid a faint mechanical hum, the familiar aircraft wings quietly changed.
At first, there was only a slight change in the painting on the surface of the wing. Then, the outer edge of the wing began to vibrate slightly, as if a mysterious force was quietly awakening in it!
What's happening here?
The researchers all stared and thought in disbelief.
Then, the hinge joints on the wing surface began to rotate, unfolding in an orderly manner like a machine!
Pieces of metal coverings gradually slid out from the inside of the wing, forming new parts that connected various parts!
At the same time, the aircraft chassis section also began to transform, forming strong leg supports.
Then the giant robot's head gradually formed, showing Chengying's unique robot facial features.
In an instant, the J-20C they were familiar with had completely transformed into a huge white robot!
After the transformation, Cheng Ying straightened his body and stood in front of everyone, making the researchers forget to breathe for a moment.
"As you can see, I have actually asked MOSS to conduct simulation experiments on how each part should be deformed."
"MOSS will make adjustments based on the actual conditions of the J-20C parts to achieve the desired result."
"But Chengying is a mecha after all, and it is a bit different from the J-20C. After all, the J-20C is 21 meters long, while Chengying is only about five meters. With such a huge difference in size, some parts should be hidden or transformed into other structures. It also became the key.”
Jiang Chen glanced at them and saw that everyone was still silent, thinking that they must have been frightened.
Jiang Chen thought depressingly, although combining the concepts of fighter jets and robots is a bit advanced.
But that doesn’t mean there’s no way to do it.
What makes Jiang Chen uncomfortable is why these researchers are not excited when they hear about the transformable mecha?
In fact, it was not that the researchers were not excited at this time, but what happened in front of them was completely beyond their expectations.
Transformable mecha, wasn’t what Academician Jiang showed them a Hollywood blockbuster?
Why is it so outrageous!
Originally, they thought that the leaders agreed to the project just to give Jiang Chen face.
Unmanned tactical mecha?
From the sound of this name, I knew something was wrong. How could Long Guo, who had always been diligent and pragmatic, engage in the research and development of such a thing?
But Longguo has also established a project this time, and everyone speculates that the main reason is actually that the project initiator is Jiang Chen.
The leaders were afraid of dampening Jiang Chen's interest, so they asked him to try to study it.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen actually changed the design temporarily this time!
The changes are so outrageous!
Although the projection of MOSS is very shocking, I don’t know that it is just the result of MOSS simulation.
Some of the more conservative researchers began to beat the drum in their hearts. They had some doubts. If Jiang Chen continued to do this, how many failed products would he produce?
"Let's do this, leave this part of the experiment to me, and you can study other modules as usual, so it won't waste your time."
Some researchers who were already worried felt something bad after hearing these words.
Many scientists in history have harmed themselves because they went astray. If Jiang Chen continues like this, isn't it dangerous?
Several worried researchers discussed it as soon as the meeting ended and reported it to the people in the technology team.
