Chapter 1187

.

When God closes a door for you, he will definitely open a window for you.

It was actually very difficult to have the best of both worlds. You can't have both the fish and the bear's paw. This was the truth since ancient times.

Shi Lei didn't want to invest in N780 metal, but he also wanted the armed unmanned patrol boat to have strong combat power. This was no longer a difficult idea for Li Chai, but a fantasy.

"Stone Head, don't think too much. It's impossible!" Li Chai directly shattered Shi Lei's fantasy. "Basically, I can only come up with three plans for the time being. Stone Head, there's a return on investment. It's impossible to get a full return on investment. "

It wasn't that Shi Lei didn't understand this, but it was a bit of an extravagant hope.

"Little Li, design mid-range and high-end armed unmanned patrol boats at the same time." Shi Lei made the decision. The mid-range armed unmanned patrol boat would be the standard combat force, while the high-end armed unmanned patrol boat would be the leader, and would be the pilot boat. "Is this a problem?"

"No problem!" Li Chai replied affirmatively. "Anyway, we'll use the same hull design, but the energy supply plan is different. It's not difficult to design two plans."

"That's good! Little Li, how long will it take to design the two plans? After the design is completed, how long will it take to complete the manufacturing? "Shi Lei continued to ask.

Li Chai thought for a while, then said, "The design is not a big problem. It will take at most three days to complete the design. As for the manufacturing, I'm afraid there will be some problems. "

"Huh? What problems? "Shi Lei asked, puzzled. Could it be that the manufacturing process of an unmanned patrol boat was very complicated?

Li Chai smiled bitterly. "Stone Head, we don't have the relevant raw materials, nor the corresponding production line. If we want to manufacture the armed unmanned patrol boat, we can only rely on the laboratory environment and manual manufacturing. Plus, the high-end armed unmanned patrol boat uses new energy technology. We can't borrow the resources of Rongcheng Military District. Therefore, I'm afraid that the finished product of armed unmanned patrol boats cannot be mass produced in a short period of time. "

Shi Lei furrowed his brows. "Xiaolizi, prioritize the design of the high-end armed unmanned patrol boats. Then, gather all the resources and build two high-end armed unmanned patrol boats. If Izur fully cooperates with you, it shouldn't be a problem, right? "

The advanced artificial intelligence system Izur was in the temporary research center of the Cui Hu Building, acting as a mechanical operator. Most of the processing was done by Izur's mechanical arm.

Although there was no production line dedicated to the production of armed drones, Izur controlled many robotic arms and could simulate any production line. It was just that the production speed was slower.

"If we have enough raw materials and Izur's cooperation, we should be able to complete the design and manufacture of the finished product within a week. However, Stone Head, do you have time to write a control program? "Li Chai asked Shi Lei.

"It shouldn't be a problem! As for the problem of the control system, we just need to transplant the FCH system that controls the Steel Cruise Ship. Then, it can be quickly written. "Shi Lei replied Li Chai.

The core of the Steel Cruise Ship's FCH control system was a 815-degree camera system with no blind spots. This system was very suitable for armed unmanned patrol boats.

However, the situation of the armed drones was different from the Steel Cruise Ship. Shi Lei needed to rearrange the positions of the 815-degree camera system's cameras.

Transplanting the 815-degree camera system also required some modifications. The armed drones did not need a complete 815-degree camera system. After all, the armed drones were speedboats and not airplanes. At the bottom of the armed drones, there was no need for surveillance cameras.

Shi Lei and Li Chai had a detailed discussion on the location of the surveillance cameras on the armed unmanned patrol boat. Together, they determined the location of ten cameras. Other than the bottom of the hull, the remaining five sides each had two cameras, forming a surveillance range that was close to full view.

"Xiao Li, I'll leave the hardware problems to you. I'll take care of the software problems!" Shi Lei divided the tasks. In fact, other than the two of them, Izur also participated in the work.

Not only did Izur need to participate in the writing of the control system, but he also needed to help Li Chai with the testing and manufacturing of the hardware. It could be said that Izur was the most important participant.

Time passed quickly. Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Shi Lei had been busy writing the operating control system of the armed drones. With Izur's help, Shi Lei had finished writing the source code of the armed drones' operation control system in two days.

Since Izur had a very powerful logic core, Shi Lei only needed to write the core program framework and rules when writing the source code. The rest of the code was filled in by Izur.

Bermuda Triangle, the ocean exploration company established by Rongcheng Military District. Shi Lei was in his room, looking at Izur's virtual test on his laptop.

The virtual test environment was built directly in the Hero's World. The Sword Spirit Game Engine in the Hero's World was continuously optimized by Shuiyun Studio, and its performance was getting better and better.

In particular, the Sword Spirit Game Engine was constantly adding all kinds of real-world physics rules, making the Hero's World more and more like a real world. For example, they were now testing the operating system of the armed drones. Izur first sealed the operating system of the armed drones into an independent rule. Then, in the Hero's World, he created a virtual armed drones according to the specific parameters sent by Li Chai.

Due to the detailed data and parameters, the virtual armed drones created in the Hero's World would have a difference of less than twenty percent between the actual parameters and the real parameters.

Moreover, this number would continue to decrease as the Sword Spirit Game Engine was perfected. Until a certain point, when the Sword Spirit Game Engine was perfected enough, the rules of the Hero's World would be consistent with the real world. Then, the Hero's World would truly evolve into a second world for humans.

During the virtual test in the Hero's World, Shi Lei was wearing a wireless headset. He stared at the screen on his laptop and said, "Izur, increase the speed of the armed drones to four hundred kilometers per hour!"

“Yes，Sir！” Izur replied to Shi Lei. Then, on the left side of his laptop, a series of data appeared. "Sir, the speed has increased to four hundred kilometers per hour. The stability of the hull has decreased by twenty-seven percent. The reliability of the operation has decreased by thirty-nine percent. The fuel consumption of the engine has increased by forty-one percent. The range has decreased to between one thousand seven hundred and one thousand eight hundred and fifty kilometers. The difficulty of aiming the weapons has increased by more than two hundred percent."

When the armed drones were traveling at four hundred kilometers per hour, the stability of the hull would decrease by twenty-seven percent. This meant that at this speed, the pressure on the hull would be greater if it were to jump and fly. The possibility of the hull capsizing would be higher.

The reliability of the operation would decrease. At four hundred kilometers per hour, the difficulty of operating the armed drones would increase, and the agility of the operation would decrease. For example, the maneuvers that could be completed easily would become more difficult if the speed was too high.

The fuel consumption of the engine would increase and the range would decrease. This was inevitable!

The difficulty of aiming the weapons would increase by more than two times. This was also an inevitable result. The higher the speed, the greater the bumpiness. For the weapons on the armed unmanned patrol boat, it was indeed too difficult to aim at the target.

"Continue to increase the speed! Go straight to five hundred kilometers per hour! "Shi Lei gave a slightly larger order. He wanted to reach the ultimate limit in one step.

"Sir, please wait. I am setting the parameters." Izur responded to Shi Lei and then performed complicated calculations. After nearly a minute, Izur gave feedback.

"Sir, the armed drones disintegrated at a speed of five hundred kilometers per hour!" The so-called disintegration meant that the armed drones could not withstand a speed of five hundred kilometers per hour.

Shi Lei frowned. They could achieve a speed of five hundred and eleven kilometers per hour as early as 6423. Could it be that after nearly thirty years, it could not reach the original speed?

"Izur, analyze the reason for the disintegration of the armed drones!" While Shi Lei ordered Izur to analyze the situation, he was also studying the situation himself. Even though Shi Lei did not know much about mechanical problems.

Izur dynamically analyzed the disintegration process of the armed drones. The first place to disintegrate was actually the inside of the hull! Even though Shi Lei was a mechanical novice, he knew that this situation was not right!

'Eh? Could it be that Izur or the Sword Spirit game engine's virtual test had some problems? 'Shi Lei guessed. However, Shi Lei did not jump to a conclusion. Instead, he contacted Li Chai.

Fortunately, it was already past eight o 'clock in the evening in Bermuda. It was also past seven o' clock in the morning in Xia Xia's place.

Li Chai woke up early and received a call from Shi Lei. After listening to Shi Lei's explanation, Li Chai asked, "Stone Head, look at the disintegration location. Is it the fuel compartment?"

Shi Lei carefully looked at the analysis report provided by Izur. From the image analysis, the disintegration location was the fuel compartment!

"Yes, Xiao Li, it's the fuel compartment!" Shi Lei confirmed. At the same time, he secretly rejoiced. Professional problems really needed professionals to deal with.

"Stone Head, how long has this test been going on? Has it been more than an hour? "Li Chai asked again.

Shi Lei checked the test time record and found that the test had been going on for almost two hours. "Yes, Xiao Li, the test has been going on for more than an hour and fifty minutes."

"Stone Head, I think I know the answer!" Li Chai said confidently.
