"Okay, okay, I'll change it."
After Xia Xu's loving education, the little white flower gave up the idea of "going for it" reluctantly and disabled the startup voice.
Xia Xu also returned to the workbench to test the latest version of the spider robot.
Working name: Arachnid Predator (version 1.0)
As just said, he designed this spider robot for combat.
Duan Zhiyi's use of brain control technology to control armed drones is indeed a good idea, and the combat effectiveness of a large swarm of drones cannot be underestimated, but this is not very suitable for him to imitate.
After all, he is a law-abiding citizen. Unless he can get some special permits, he cannot equip a large number of drones with thermal weapons like Duan Zhiyi did.
After losing its thermal weapons, drones can basically only be used for reconnaissance and auxiliary purposes, and their lethality is limited.
In fact, the defects of this type of drone are quite obvious. Brain control technology can only play its advantages at close range when a single person operates multiple machines, but facing the enemy head-on means that the controller himself loses his concealment and must face the threat posed by the enemy.
Armed drones may have considerable lethality, but they only provide lethality and can serve as fire support. However, their ability to protect the controller and restrict the enemy can only rely on fire suppression.
Not to mention that fire suppression requires an advantage in numbers, and he cannot carry so much with him. Once facing an enemy with extraordinary abilities, fire suppression may hardly play a role in blocking and protecting. If the enemy really rushes up to you and bites you without caring about his life, you will have no way to deal with it.
Humans have always designed weapons only to harm their own kind.
A bullet hitting the torso can easily kill an ordinary person, but creatures like werewolves can still fight you for dozens of rounds alive and well, and can even rely on their keen intuition and physical strength to dodge in advance.
Therefore, while retaining the use of drones as a supplement to firepower and tactics, Xia Xu also specially designed this spider robot.
Many of its computing, dynamic capture, motion control and other systems were modified and supplemented by Tang Youxin based on the mechanical centipede left by Pan Yuanhang and existing public technologies.
However, Xiao Baihua is indeed extremely talented in this area. The process of reference and modification is also her learning process. After her redesign and rewriting of various program algorithms, the effects are all better than the original ones.
Combined with the control system contained in brain control technology that can understand complex consciousness commands and the structural advantages brought by the eight legs in the spider form, this spider robot already has very good flexibility and stability, and can adapt to various complex terrains with ease.
Of course, no matter how good its mobility is, this is the basic ability of a robot, and the most important thing is its functionality.
The reason why arachnid predators are designed to look like spiders is not only because their shape makes it easier to design a movement system, but also because of their function.
Xia Xu actually designed a jet device inside the spider-like predator, which can eject a high-strength three-millimeter composite steel cable from its mouth.
Don't underestimate this three-millimeter steel cable. Modern materials science has actually made considerable progress. Many cables can easily bear several tons or even dozens of tons. The spider-like predator uses the best of them, which can withstand even a force of more than ten tons.
A specially designed three-finger claw hook is connected to the front end of the composite steel cable. Normally, the composite steel cable can be bundled with the help of the inertial curling and winding of the rope jet. The friction and other factors alone and the use of the claw hook as a lock can form a strong confinement effect, and the claw hook can also be used for direct grasping.
In addition, the center of the claw hook can eject a spike that forms a penetrating and expanding anchoring effect, which is somewhat similar to the explosive flowering arrow left by Grant - in fact, Xia Xu also "borrowed" inspiration from this.
There is actually a similar design on the abdomen of the spider predator. The spinner at the end of the abdomen, which was originally used to spin silk, was set up by Xia Xu as a retractable drill. When necessary, the spinner can drill through the ground quickly and then expand the steel column horizontally to anchor itself.
In this way, whether facing small or medium-sized targets or large targets, the steel cables spewed by the spider predator can form an extremely effective restrictive effect.
In particular, multiple spider-like predators can fight in coordination. Even if the target body is extremely strong, facing a sufficient number of such robots, it can only be slaughtered on the spot. At the very least, it will not be so easy for it to rush to the operator.
This control effect is Xia Xu’s core functional positioning for the spider predator, and beyond this are some minor functions.
For example, the sharp tips of the spider's legs can create a cutting effect to a certain extent, and it has good jumping ability. The chelicerae in its mouth are not wasted and can be used for biting and injecting chemical liquids such as venom, which can also increase its killing ability to a certain extent.
In terms of pure lethality, the spider-like predator is naturally inferior to Duan Zhiyi's armed drone, but it definitely beats it in close combat and actual combat applications.
Moreover, the two have different positioning. If they can get permission to use thermal weapons, using spider predators as close combat cover units and combining them with armed drones to suppress fire, each of them can form a small formation and fight a small-scale war.
Retrieving controllable units...
Unit Access: Arachnid Predator 004
The unit passed self-inspection and is operating normally.
Haloxylon ammodendron! Haloxylon ammodendron!
After putting on the smart glasses and activating the remote brainwave control system, the basketball-sized mechanical spider on the table seemed to come alive instantly and began to crawl in circles under the control of Xia Xu's brainwaves.
stop!
With another thought, a steel cable shot out from the mouth of the mechanical spider, and the metal claws at the end accurately grasped a long metal pole standing several meters away.
"Activate prototypes 001, 002, and 003."
Xia Xu, still feeling somewhat unsatisfied, controlled the smart glasses to activate all the experimental products that had been tried before. At once, four mechanical spiders began to climb and walk throughout the laboratory, and then they jointly sprayed steel cables to tie up a certain object.
"I seem to have seen the future!"
Zhou Xiaodong and others were stunned for a moment. Many employees who heard the noise also came over. More and more people gathered, and they all looked excited.
"What future? I feel like I'm watching a science fiction movie."
"Where did the boss get all those black technologies? Many of the technologies on this thing are new to me."
"I think the boss lady is really good. The performance of this robot system is definitely better than anything else on the market."
"Wow, that's cool. Do we have any employee benefits that we can apply for this thing?"
"It costs at least several hundred thousand. Do you want to buy it?"
"Well… "
Everyone was murmuring with excitement or eagerness to try, but the conversation soon turned to other things.
"Speaking of which, this thing should be able to be used in combat, right? I heard that a Batman appeared in German City a while ago. Can our boss also become a superhero or something?"
"That's going to require a catchy nickname. What do you think of Mechanic?"
"What a mechanic, can't you see that these are spiders made by the boss? I think he should be called Spider-Man."
"Why not Robot Spider-Man?"
"It sounds cheap, if you want to call me that, I'd better call me Iron Spider-Man..."
Finally, someone calmly ended the topic: "If you ask me, you should stop arguing. A winner like our boss who has talent, money, and beautiful girls would be a villain in a movie or anime."
