Trickster Hunter

Chapter 354 Test Failed

Two hours later, in the southern suburbs of Tianfu City, there was a simulation test site.

The first actual machine test did not directly allow the tester to appear on the stage. Instead, the PFDA was placed on a dummy made of special materials, and the PFDA was controlled by remote control.

According to those drawings, Sun Hang used Tai Sui mycelium to manufacture the first batch of joint parts that met the requirements of the PFDA. Due to the existence of the ability to "make all wishes come true", the qualification rate of the parts directly reached 100%, allowing those The engineers responsible for measuring the parts' errors all widened their eyes.

"They are all qualified parts! Hurry! Start assembling immediately!"

"None of them were scrapped? How is this possible? Could it be that you measured it wrong?"

"That's right, that's right, why are you talking so much nonsense! Don't waste time! Hurry up!" Several engineers were still arguing, while Song Yarong was already cursing on the other side.

She took off the bloated protective clothing and changed into a tight-fitting combat uniform. She also wrapped a long down jacket over the combat uniform, and a pair of semi-covering goggles on her face. His eyes were rolling around, constantly scanning the PFDA "Prototype No. 1" fixed on the launch bracket.

It is noon in midsummer, but the temperature in the southern suburbs of Tianfu City is only minus 17 degrees Celsius. There is heavy snow in the sky, the soil on the ground is frozen as hard as steel, and the biting cold wind makes the flags placed nearby rustle. .

Everyone present was wearing thick cold-proof clothing, except Sun Hang.

"Aren't you afraid of the cold?" Fukada asked.

She wore a military coat with a fur collar and a thick cold hat on her head, but even so, her nose was still red from the cold, and she had to suck clear mucus from her nostrils from time to time.

"It's okay." Sun Hang said, "It's not too cold."

"I really envy the physique of you infected people." Fukada Miki said in a low voice.

"First of all, not all infected people are as frost-resistant as him; secondly, many infected people face the threat of death or loss of control at any time." Song Yarong turned her head and glanced at Fukada Miki, "Many people envy the infected people. Ability, but after becoming an infected person, he will only miss his life as an ordinary person. "

"This is not necessarily true." Fukada Miki snorted coldly, "In Chunming City, I have seen many infected people who were ecstatic after gaining abilities. For them, this infection is equivalent to changing their destiny... many at the bottom People, they also face the threat of death, but their life is far worse than that of hunters who receive subsidies from the federal government... If I were that kind of person, I would definitely want to become a hunter."

Song Yarong wanted to say, "Sooner or later, these people will regret it"... But she suddenly realized that she was also an infected person, and the abilities brought by the infection not only did not cause her any trouble, but also provided her with Many conveniences, salary, position, authority level have also increased all the time... There is no doubt that these things are brought to her by her special status as an infected person.

As for the discrimination and hostility of ordinary people towards infected people, she has never experienced it much, having worked in a research institute all year round and dealing with a group of scientific researchers and engineers all day long.

Song Yarong didn't say anything in the end and turned around.

Under the operation of four extremely skilled technicians, the PFDA equipped with Taisui mycelium parts quickly completed the final debugging work, and the test dummy was placed in the "cockpit". With the piercing warning sound, the area behind the launch bracket was quickly cleared, and everyone evacuated to a safe area a hundred meters away.

"Light the fire in three seconds!" Song Yarong shouted loudly.

Soon, the tail nozzles of those huge rocket thrusters began to emit long tail flames, and the steel cables used to secure the PFDA collapsed straight and began to make an overwhelmed squeaking sound.

"The thrust has reached the predetermined standard! Release the restraints!"

With a few crisp sounds, all the steel cables connected to the PFDA were disconnected. The PFDA and the integrated thruster behind it suddenly disappeared in front of everyone like an arrow from a string.

The strong airflow even blew away the boxes placed on both sides of the launch frame to contain monitoring instruments.

"The muzzle velocity is Mach 4.71!!" the observer immediately shouted, "Still accelerating, it has reached Mach 4.85! 4.89! It has exceeded 4.9!"

The air flow brought up by the PFDA during its flight directly cut through the frozen soil and plowed a deep ravine on the ground. The huge sonic boom produced when it broke the sound barrier directly eliminated the voice of the observer who reported the speed. It was completely suppressed.

This test site is a one-to-one replica of the terrain around Chimera 17. The distance between the launch area and Chimera 17 is almost thirty kilometers. At the speed of PFDA Mach 5, it only takes 18 You can reach your target location in less than seconds.

A large number of drones are deployed in the sky in this area to capture real-time flight footage of the PFDA. At the same time, it serves as a signal transfer station to transmit data from a large number of sensors installed inside the PFDA back to the launch area along with the footage.

"The speed has reached Mach 5.07 and is almost stable. The thruster fuel consumption is normal! Each thruster is operating normally! The stress of the PFDA's own structure is still within the tolerable range! The driver's stress has dropped from 79G when it just started to accelerate. It has reached 24G and is still declining steadily!”

"What is the highest peak value of the G force?" Sun Hang asked casually.

"121G." A researcher answered immediately.

What is the concept of 121G? Converted into a more understandable statement, it is equivalent to a person weighing 80 kg, who needs to bear an inertial force 121 times the gravity of the earth's surface at this moment, which is 9.68 tons... It is almost the same as being run over by a medium-sized truck.

Moreover, this data refers to the G force value directly borne by the test dummy. Before this, the G force borne by the dummy has been partially offset by the buffer device in the cockpit and the anti-gravity suit on the dummy, otherwise the value will be even greater.

If an ordinary person were to drive the PFDA, his body would probably be bloody at this time.

"Enter the safe zone in three seconds!!"

"Already entered the safe zone!!"

"Thruster separation completed! Reverse deceleration jet started successfully!"

"The G-force value of the dummy reached 115G! 127G! 130G!"

"Launch the sticky anchor hook!"

"The sticky anchor hook successfully hit the target! The fixing strength reached the standard value!"

"Lateral thrusters started!"

"The steering angle is within the controllable range!"

"Prepare for disintegration!"

Sun Hang and Fukada Miki squeezed in front of a computer, watching the screen - a large number of parts fell off the PFDA like flowers scattered by a fairy, and were thrown far away under the action of inertia... Almost in an instant, the dummy inside the armor was exposed, and then the airbag in the driving suit quickly inflated, and a huge balloon wrapped the test dummy again.

But the next second, an accident happened.

The balloon fell heavily to the ground, then bounced up suddenly and flew out of the safe zone!

"The brake thrusters No. 9, No. 16, No. 17, and No. 21 were damaged when they landed! They cannot be started!"

"The impact force is too great! The steering control device failed!"

"The landing airbag has flown out of the safety zone... The first test failed!"

The researchers and engineers looked at each other, but they were not discouraged. They soon became busy again and began to find the cause of the failure.

For such a project, failure is commonplace - there will be a big gap between the data simulated by the computer and the data tested by the actual machine. If it can succeed in one go like Sun Hang did with the parts, it would be incredible.

Another hour passed.

The wreckage of the test dummy, airbags, and PFDA has been transported back to the launch area. A group of engineers carefully examined each piece of debris as if they were performing an autopsy.

The medical team surrounded the test dummy that was no longer "in human form" and discussed something fiercely.

"Have you found the cause of the failure?" Sun Hang found Song Yarong and asked.

"We are still investigating, but we have found some of them." Song Yarong said, "The thrust of the reverse deceleration thruster is a bit too small. The armor disintegrated 0.15 seconds slower than expected, and the airbag opened 0.3 seconds slower. After landing, the airbag did not fully deploy, causing the brake thruster, which was supposed to be an embedded design, to directly contact the ground... Each of these problems is not fatal, but when added together, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes."

"Can they be solved?" Sun Hang asked again.

"All the problems I mentioned just now are easy to solve. If the disintegration is slow, the disintegration time will be advanced. If the airbag is slow to inflate, the formula of the chemical agent will be adjusted. In addition, the brake thruster can be made of stronger and more expensive materials... But the biggest problem now is probably with the medical team." Song Yarong glanced at the group of guys who were arguing around the test dummy, and said with a headache.

"What happened?"

"The trauma suffered by the test dummy far exceeded the result of the computer simulation... You should have seen that the main reason for the failure of this experiment was that the landing airbag flew out of the safe zone. In actual combat, this means that the landing airbag will be attacked by the stress response of Chimera 17... But we are testing, and the fake Chimera 17 will not emit energy flow, so in theory, even if the experiment fails, the test personnel in the airbag should be safe and sound..."

Song Yarong continued: "But now the test dummies recovered have been... Even if they are replaced by hunters with high-strength bodies, after experiencing this level of trauma, I am afraid that they will continue to perform the mission..."

"Is there no way to solve this problem?"

"I can only solve this problem from the perspective of candidates... Originally, there were 17 people on my shortlist of pilots, but now it seems that more than half of them will be screened out." Song Yarong said helplessly.

"Speaking of which, there is something I have always forgotten to ask." Sun Hang glanced at the busy people around him, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his nose.

"What's going on?"

"The last time we approached Chimera 17, in order to give us a chance to retreat, the headquarters sent a large number of soldiers on drones to attract the firepower of Chimera 17... Although it's a bit unethical to say this, why can't we use this method this time?" Sun Hang said, "First send people to attract the firepower of Chimera 17, and wait until its energy flow enters the cooling time, and then let the hunters go. At this time, even if the speed is a little slower, it should be enough to enter the safe zone before the cooling is completed, right?"

"You are not in Tianfu City during this period, so you may not know the changes in Chimera No. 17..." Song Yarong whispered, "Its stress response has no cooling time now. No matter how much bait is sent in, it will only be in vain. It’s just more casualties.”

"Is this...adaptive evolution?" Sun Hang was slightly startled. "After the last experience, it found that its cooling gave us a loophole to exploit, so it has blocked this loophole now?"

"It should be...especially after the intelligence of the 'Insecticide Plan' was exposed. Every mutation and evolution of it will make it more difficult to implement the entire combat plan...So now each department basically operates independently, just to Minimize the leakage of information as much as possible." Song Yarong said, looking meaningfully at Fukada Weixi who was standing next to Sun Hang, "Your mission this time is very critical."

Sun Hang naturally knew that the task she proposed was to protect Fukada Miki - if Chimera No. 17 knew that such a person had joined the insecticide project, then in Sun Hang's imagination alone, it would at least exceed Ten ways to abolish Miki Fukada's "eye of death" ability.

"You are also crucial." Sun Hang tapped his head with his fingers and signaled to Song Yarong, "After all, you are also one of the insiders. If you are attacked, the secret will also be leaked."

"I know, so once I am attacked by something strange, I will not hesitate to kill myself." Song Yarong said extremely decisive words in a calm tone.

"Courage is commendable, but unfortunately, it is useless." Sun Hang shook his head, "Dead people will also provide information to Chimera No. 17."

He thought of his memory acquisition ability - even if the target has died, as long as the death time is not long, he can still extract most of the memories from the other party's brain.

For the recently deceased, the retrieved memories were almost as complete as for the living.

The only way is to blow up the whole head directly, which can prevent the memory from being retrieved.

But this method is only useful for ordinary people.

The memory carrier of ordinary people is the brain, but in infected people... the memes in their bodies can also be used as memory carriers.

As long as the meme does not completely dissipate, there is still a risk that the memory can be read.

Song Yarong happened to be an infected person.

"You'd better try to strengthen the security around you, both you and Yang Qi." Sun Hang said.
