Chapter 16 Chapter 15 Fusion ~ Super Robot!

There are countless ideas of combining many fighter jets into a giant robot in the air. The ancestor of "fitting" is in the special photo "Ultraman No. 7", the super garrison's huge fighter Super Eagle One can make a beautiful three-machine separation and combination.The "fit robot" is also the first to appear in this play. The giant robot "Joe King" used by the Beidan Stars to invade the earth can freely separate from four UFOs and transform into one.Later, the "Gate Robot" appeared in the animation world, and three planes can be freely combined into three different robots (Arslan Note: Because it is impossible to explain its combination mechanism reasonably, so we try not to discuss it in this chapter .).As a result of the rationalization of the deformation and fitting mechanism, the immortal masterpiece "Super Electromagnetic Robot Kombattra V" was produced!

Icon: This is the structure diagram of Combatella V's separation and integration, which looks very reasonable. (Arslan's note: This is based on the consideration of "selling toys", because the unreasonable deformation and fit method like the Geter robot, it is impossible to make a toy that is deformed like a cartoon picture for sale! It will reduce customers' desire to buy... ) The five fighters are capable of fighting in the air, on land, in the water, and underground, and they can also be combined into a giant robot to fight. It is indeed quite advantageous in combat, but is it really okay?

In the real world, there are also many "fit" connected machines, such as trains, space laboratories, and so on.However, the trains are connected on fixed tracks, which sounds relatively simple. Even so, before the invention of the automatic connecting machine, the era of relying on manual connections still cost the lives of many train workers!Of course, in a universe that doesn't even have anything that can be induced, it's even more difficult to bond together. The space shuttle relies on the manually controlled robotic arm, and it takes more than fifteen minutes to retrieve a satellite into the cargo bay!Letting the computer control do the calculations seems to be the only way, but there is still a problem.What should be the speed of the two parts that are merging?If the speed of the two parts is the same, then a million years will not fit together, so the latter must be "faster" than the front!The question is how much faster?Especially in flight fit, this is a big problem!If the rear is too fast, the result is not a "fit", but the rear body chases the front body!

Icon: Change Getter One! Switch...Wow! ! (Explanation: Ryu Ryoma died in the Gate team who failed in speed control...) The speed difference is very serious. If the speed difference between the two machines is 10 meters per second, it is like a car chasing a car at a speed of 36㎞ per hour. Hit a stationary car!Even a difference of 1 meter per second is serious!So what should be the correct one?The rear body catches up to the front body at a relatively fast speed, and then brakes when it is about to catch up, and fits together just when the speed difference is 0! Second problem is: when fit, the injection port of front body can be connected on the front end of rear body.The flame of the jet engine is about 1500°C, which is just hot enough to melt the iron.The lightweight aluminum alloy material used in general spraying machines will start to melt at 660°C.Supersonic jet fighters mostly use titanium alloys, which can withstand temperatures up to 1675°C.If the same is true for the bodies of Geter and Combatella V, it will be dangerous.At the moment of merging, the flames from the jets of the front body will melt the front end of the rear body!That's not called "fitting" but "welding". From then on, the two mechas are stuck together and can never be separated... Therefore, at the moment of merging, the engine of the front mecha must stop spraying first!

But even so, the volume around the injection port of the front body will still expand by about 1% due to high heat, and it will shrink back after cooling... Is it okay to use parts that change in volume to connect? Icon: I forgot to consider the combined design of thermal expansion and cold contraction. This is how the Combatella V was made... Therefore, the front and rear fuselages should be made of the same material, and the front end of the rear fuselage should be properly heated before merging To let it expand, it needs to be heated to the same temperature as the jet port of the front body.However, if you want to stop the engine before the fusion, won't the flying machine fall down?In particular, the Combatella V's integrated screen is "horizontal flight", and when the engine stops, it will become a parabolic motion... and the lifting force and air resistance of the body must also be considered, and the surrounding air pressure, temperature, weather and other factors must be considered. All counted, even with a computer, it is difficult to calculate the flight path of each body, to fit together?Difficult!

Based on realistic considerations, it should be adopted: the whole machine rises vertically, reaches a certain height, then cuts off the engine, and fits together in a free-falling way (Arslan Note: Just like the fit screen of the Gait robot in the Machine War series).However, when the upper body descends at an acceleration of 9.8m/sec2, will it still "hit" into the lower body? If the lower body also stops the engine, it will also fall downwards with the acceleration of gravity, and the two bodies will never be able to join together. The solution is: the lower body originally catches up at a faster speed, but when the upper body stops the engine, the front of the body also performs a reverse jet!Gradually adjust the speed of the two machines to be consistent, and fit together when the speed difference is 0!

From the perspective of the cartoon screen, Combatella V is connected to a body for about 10 seconds.Based on this calculation, the two aircraft approach with a speed difference of 20 meters per second (72㎞ per hour). When the distance between the two aircraft is about 100 meters, the upper aircraft stops the engine, and the lower aircraft also stops the engine. Left and right power reverse jet! In this way, not only can it be combined, but if the jet port of the reverse jet is installed at the front end of the lower body, can't the flame temperature of the reverse jet be used to heat the front end of the lower body?Kill two birds with one stone!

However, because this is in the atmosphere, the front body will block a lot of air resistance for the rear body (this is a technique for closely following the opponent on the racing track), so the force of the reverse jet used for deceleration It is not easy to control, even if it is a computer, it must randomly respond to the variable air resistance changes, and the driver must have extremely strict training and experience in battle.However, the drivers of Combatella V are all hot motorcycle boys, high school students, and even children (Although Bei Xiaojie is a gifted child, but a child is a child...), asking them to do this kind of difficult action is very difficult. It's too... well, the above problems have been solved, but there are still big problems in combining with the enemy, one is thrust, and the other is time.

The weight of Combatra V is 550 tons according to the setting, so the thrust must be greater than 550 tons.Japan's domestic solid-fuel rocket weighs 260 tons at launch and has a thrust of 400 tons.Based on this calculation, if a robot wants to fly like this, it needs a similar thrust/weight ratio.So the thrust of the Combatella V is about 800 tons.But ah, the thrust of Combatella V depends entirely on two feet!That's just machine number five.After the fusion, the jet engines of the No. 1 to No. 4 units are useless, and they all rely on the No. 5 unit... Based on this calculation, their thrust should be more and more powerful from the No. 1 unit to the No. 5 unit.However, in the cartoon, Units 1 and 2 are combined, Units 3, 4, and 5 are combined, and Units 2 and 3 are then connected (Arslan’s Note: Maybe Director Riko Yanagida misremembered? I remember that the No. 3 aircraft of Combatra V could not fly at all, it was "sucked" up by the super-electromagnetic force. On the contrary, it was the Polo No. 5 that flew in the air and fit together?) On average, one Assuming a weight of 110 tons, then the thrust of the No. 1 engine is only 160 tons, the No. 2 engine is 320 tons, the No. 3 engine is 480 tons, the No. 4 engine is 640 tons, and the No. 5 engine is 800 tons... As the protagonist, Kui Baoma, Driving this kind of airframe with the weakest thrust is really inferior... The thrust is first subtracted from the weight, and the remaining thrust is divided by the mass to get the acceleration.Therefore, the ascent acceleration of No. 1 machine is about 4.5m/sec2.The No. 1 aircraft ascends, followed by the No. 2 aircraft. After 22 seconds, the No. 1 aircraft accelerates to an ascent speed of 100 meters per second, and the No. 2 aircraft speeds up to 120 meters per second. The distance between the two aircraft is 100 meters. .At this time, engine No. 1 shuts down, engine No. 2 also shuts down, and jets back with 20% (22 tons) thrust of gravity!Ten seconds later, the distance between the two machines is 0, the speed difference is 0, and the fusion is complete!Then, the No. 3 machine is brewed in the same way... (as shown in the picture) However, at this time, it needs to be accelerated to 100 meters per second to start.After the fusion, the No. 1 and No. 2 units have a total of 220 tons, and the thrust (the engine of the No. 2 unit) is 320 tons, and it takes 22 seconds.Repeat this three times, and the fit is complete.Accelerate for 22 seconds, fit for 10 seconds, and connect once for a total of 32 seconds.It only takes 128 seconds for the five units to combine. If the method is based on the picture, No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 are combined and recombined, it only takes 96 seconds.Sounds fast, but don't forget that enemy Magma Beasts are super fast in battle too!When you spend 96 seconds vertically rising to fit together, if the enemy flies at three times the speed of sound, it can fly 98㎞!If the fusion location is in the outskirts of Tokyo, if the enemy attacks from the foot of Mount Fuji, you can just finish the fusion and face the battle.But if the enemy flies from the mountains around Chichibu, they will be attacked during the fusion!And in this state, it is neither a fighter nor a robot, and has no ability to fight!

Icon: Combatella V that was interrupted in the middle of the fusion...It's so miserable...Because it's a vertical flight, it can't escape while merging.What if you consider avoiding the enemy first, and then face the battle after the fusion is completed?Okay, the enemy is chasing at three times the speed of sound, how about we escape at four times the speed of sound?To fight for the 96-second gap without being caught up, at least 6 minutes and 48 seconds to escape to open the distance. In this way... I have already flown 390㎞, and I can fly from Tokyo to Kesennuma.And it took 96 seconds to fly back to fight after the fit was completed, and it took another 6 minutes and 48 seconds!

Even if fuel consumption is not considered, the 30-minute cartoon has already been "escaped" for 15 minutes... During these 15 minutes, Combatella V is not in Tokyo, and the enemy can burn Tokyo to ashes as long as the enemy sends a special task force. The half-dead Combatella team came back only to see the capital turned into ashes, what do you think? After talking for a long time, this "sometimes a fighter, sometimes a robot" fighting method is simply unreasonable.Once five super-thrust fighter jets are combined into a robot, only the jet engine of the bottom one can be used. This is like using a knife and fork on both ends of the same handle, which seems to be dual-purpose. In fact, it is a useless invention that cannot be "simultaneously shared" by both parties.If you really want to get this kind of combat effect, wouldn't it be good to use fighter jets and robot formations to fight together? (Arslan’s note: Isn’t the formation of the first-generation Gundam and G fighters the same? But the way of stepping on the fighters as a “somersault cloud” is not so good...) Anyway, the combined robot only needs Kui Baoma Open, why not use the method of "one robot with four fighter jets to attack", wouldn't it have the same effect? The next preview: When it comes to the Institute of Photon Forces, I think of the "protective shield". It looks luminous and can block the attack of the enemy's mechanical beasts. Defense conference, let's study "Iron Wall Defense of Photon Force Research Institute" together! ! Use a layer of energy "membrane" to resist various attacks. This idea is called "shield" in Arslan in China, "Barrier" in Japanese utopian science works, and the word "Shield" is often used in Western SF (StarTrek, ID4, etc.) etc.), the later I-field, AT-Field... etc. are too numerous to enumerate, all of which come from this concept. (Arslan's note: I don't know if the "protective energy" in Chinese martial arts novels counts?) In fact, the defensive weapon such as the protective cover appeared as early as "Atom King Kong". It is the same idea that an invisible wall of light will appear in the space to block the flames of the monster (Arslan's note: even the monster has a protective shield, this is not the patent of "justice"...). However, it wasn't until the Photon Force Research Institute of Invincible Iron King Kong that the image of the protective cover was fixed.This is the last class of the semester for our fantasy science classroom, so here we go! The final chapter is the defense of the iron wall of the Institute of Photon Forces! ! A glowing dome (or iceberg) encloses the facility, blocking enemy missiles and beam cannons... But if the shield works like this, wouldn't Iron Man have a chance to perform?Therefore, the shield must have one element, that is: it will definitely be broken! do not doubt!This is the only chance for heroes of justice to appear on the stage!Isn't this the case from Iron King Kong to EVA and ID4? To sum up, the condition of the shield is: 1. Can block all kinds of attacks from solid projectiles and beam weapons (ah... I-Field is out...) 2. Can shine (this... seems like the later shields are transparent and invisible?) 3. Can Being broken... (What kind of condition is this?) All kinds of attacks... "big miscellaneous" can be roughly classified into three types: physical weapons such as artillery shells and missiles, electromagnetic wave weapons such as lasers, and elemental weapons such as charged particles. Particle weapons (don't confuse the latter two!) The latter two conditions... Forget it, it won't help to sigh, let's design the protective cover of the Photon Force Research Institute! The first wave: high-energy plasma combat! The plasma curtain made of high-speed prime particles can also vaporize objects and weapons such as missiles and shells by using its high amount of heat energy. It is the most suitable shield material! However, even if our high-energy plasma is as high as 1 million degrees, will it completely evaporate when a shell hits it? Of course, it will not evaporate immediately, because the heating time needs to be long enough.But cannonballs fly at high speeds. Even if the plasma shield of the Photon Force Research Institute is 1 meter thick, if the enemy's missiles fly at three times the speed of sound, it will only take 0.002 seconds to penetrate the shield. In such a short period of time, even a 1 million-degree plasma can only melt 1.9 millimeters of steel on the surface of the missile and evaporate it by 0.6 millimeters. This level may not be able to destroy the missile. Well, if our plasma shield is as thick as 54 meters, a steel cannonball with a diameter of 20 centimeters passing through at three times the speed of sound can only just "melt it all"! "Melting" can't do it!Because the momentum is indestructible, it will turn into high-heat iron slurry raining on the photonic force research institute!Instead, increase the scope of victimization!Therefore, it is necessary to "vaporize" the enemy's shells.According to this calculation, our plasma shield must be as thick as 160 meters! Well, it's fine if it's thicker, but there's another problem with this plasma screen, that is, it can't touch the air.Once the energy of the plasma is dissipated into the air, it will lose its ionization and return to ordinary gas atoms.Therefore, the inner and outer sides of the plasma layer must use walls made of glass to isolate the air.There is also a huge electromagnet on the glass wall to create a magnetic field, and the 1 million-degree plasma is sealed in the glass wall. Icon: how?The 160-meter-thick double-layer glass wall is covered with electromagnets, and it is filled with 1 million degrees of plasma, completely enveloping the Institute of Photonic Force! In this way, not only can the enemy's attack be blocked and the flying shells can be completely evaporated, but the glass wall fully meets the previous conditions!Glows and breaks! ...Wait a minute, once the glass wall is broken, wouldn't the plasma inside leak out?Wouldn't this be completely useless?Uh?Is this the time when the Invincible Iron King Kong is needed?What are you kidding?It took a long time to build a protective cover with a thickness of 160 meters, and it was reimbursed after only one shell? Forget it, let's change it... The second wave: high-speed element particle screen battle! When electrons or protons travel at high speed in the air, they will collide with the air and emit light, such as the aurora is an example.If the prime particle beam emitters are arranged in a row, the emitted particle beams form a screen and shine brightly.However, these particles are very light in mass. If you want to use them to change the direction of objects and weapons such as artillery shells or fighter jets, even if you use an extremely large number of high-energy particles to hit them, you cannot completely destroy them. Instead, it becomes a shotgun, which is more destructive than the original.What's worse is that when the enemy also attacks with particle beams, since the momentum is indestructible, the directions of the particles of both parties after collision follow the collision principle. (As shown in the picture) If the particle curtain emitted by the Photon Force Research Institute is vertically upward, when the particle beam emitted by the enemy is in the horizontal direction, when the two sides collide, the enemy's particle beam will receive the momentum of our particle curtain and become vertical Flying upwards, instead our particle beam becomes horizontal and shoots towards the Institute of Photonic Force!As a result, the institute was KO'd by the particle beam it shot out... As a result, this kind of particle beam screen can only be effective for slow and light particles, such as flames.To use particle beam generators to encircle the Institute of Photonic Forces, it may be hundreds of meters to several kilometers long, and thousands of particle beam generators are required. Alright, let's watch the next one... The third wave of battle with iron walls and iron walls! Alright, let's not consider the conditions of "be able to shine" and "be able to be broken" now, and directly consider the actual defense effect, and use cement and steel plates to directly build an extremely solid circle outside the Institute of Photon Forces. How about the top? (Arslan Note: The idea of ​​this kind of physical shield is often used in real-world military affairs. The Defense Force base in "Superman VII" and "Superman A" also adopts this idea. Others like "Brave Ledding" The shell base of the "Scientific Ninja Team GATCHAMAN Fighter" secret base, EVA's third new Tokyo City, etc., are all the same idea.) In order to consider the access of personnel and Iron King Kong, the steel dome must be designed as Fukuoka Giant The opening and closing method of the egg field. Having said that, it's not easy.The roof of the Fukuoka Dome opens and closes horizontally and turns about 200 degrees back and forth, which takes 20 minutes! (Arslan's note: In "Tortoise vs. Flying Monsters", it is used to catch the strange bird Gaios. Isn't it too slow?) The rocket launch pad of the Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima Prefecture is also open and close. Traditionally, it takes 30 minutes to rotate a door 50 meters high and 20 meters wide to open and close at 90 degrees!And it's not designed to resist enemy artillery fire, so it's a fairly lightweight design.The shields we want are definitely much heavier than they are! To be able to withstand the enemy's artillery fire, steel with a thickness of several meters is probably required.If a dome with a thickness of 5 meters and a diameter of 200 meters is built outside the research institute, the total weight will be about 10 million tons!Even if Iron King Kong uses its 200,000 horsepower to open and close the dome (uh...according to the previous lessons, it is still a question of how this "photonic force" robot can have 200,000 horsepower...), and It took three days and three nights to get started!Even if the enemy came from the other side of the earth, it would not take so long! So, what if you are attacked by the enemy in the "half-open" state?That's very serious, if an enemy missile shoots in from the opening and explodes in the half-open dome, the power will be even greater than before! It's too dangerous, let's watch the next one... The fourth wave of smoke screens interferes with combat! To resist laser attacks, many works use "mirror reflection" methods, such as mirror surface treatment and painting, etc...but this is not feasible!Because the mirror cannot achieve 100% reflectivity, but the energy of the laser is definitely enough to destroy the mirror. Lasers are very strong in space, but in the atmosphere they will be interfered by obstacles in the air and their power will be reduced. Therefore, to deal with laser attacks, you only need to increase the obstacles in the air.The easiest way is to dig a moat around the Institute of Photon Force, heat and boil it underneath, so that the river water will emit a large amount of water vapor and smoke, enveloping the Institute!In this way, the laser light from the mechanical beast will be greatly weakened. Icon: The smoky moat around the Institute of Photon Force!Mechanical beast, let your laser light come on! Dr. Hull: "Then, wouldn't it be good if I shoot the heating device of the outer moat first?" Director Gong: "...Then add another moat outside the moat and protect it with smoke, wouldn't it be good?" Dr. Hull: "Then how about I attack the moat outside first?" Director Gong: "...Then add another one!"...In this way, one steam moat after another was built outside the Institute of Photon Forces, endlessly...It will be endless if it goes on like this, let's take a look one. The fifth wave of electromagnetic field reflection operations! When charged particles move in a magnetic field, they will be forced to change their direction (as shown in the figure), which obeys Fleming's left-hand law; while positively charged and negatively charged particles, the direction of force is also different.The object is subjected to a continuous force perpendicular to the direction of progress, which will cause the object to move in a circle. According to this principle, the object can be separated from the magnetic field after turning half a circle in the magnetic field, and fly in the opposite direction to the original!Is it feasible to use this magnetic field as a shield to "reflect enemy charged particle weapons"?Let's take a look... If it is a powerful electron beam with a speed of 50% of the speed of light, the magnetic field caused by the strongest electromagnet is about 20,000 gauss, and it can draw an arc orbit with a radius of 43 cm. go back.But what about proton beams?The charge is opposite, and the mass is about 1800 times that of an electron, so the radius of gyration is 770 meters!That would require a super-large magnetic field. If an iron magnetic pole plate with a thickness of 10 cm is used, the combined weight of the N and S poles will reach 940,000 tons!13 times that of Yamato Battleship!Do you want to build a bunch of such large magnetic pole plates around the Photonic Force Institute? Moreover, it is necessary to accurately shoot the particle beam from the enemy into the gap between the two magnetic pole plates!Otherwise there is no reflected back effect.In addition, the direction of rotation of the electron beam and the proton beam is opposite (Arslan Note: the direction of rotation of the positron cannon is the same as that of the proton beam, and the direction of rotation of the anti-positron cannon is the same as that of the electron beam), so it must be stipulated that: The beam and anti-proton cannon should be injected from the left of the magnetic field (will turn right), and the proton beam and positron cannon should be injected from the right (will turn left), so that they can be reversed 180 degrees in the magnetic field to go back... Icon: The correct way to use the electromagnetic field reflective shield! The huge magnetic pole plate reads: Dear Dr. Hull, mechanical beasts, welcome to use this magnetic field shield, please inject your particle beams from the middle of this magnetic pole plate accurately and parallelly, please use the electron cannon and anti-sun cannon from Inject from the left, please inject the proton cannon and positron cannon from the right, so as to get a perfect reflection effect!Thank you for your cooperation... Hull: "Wow, there are so many regulations to attack a research institute these days..." Also, it's useless when hit by a high-energy neutron beam!To resist high-energy neutron beams, unless the Photonic Force Institute is surrounded by heavy lead walls.Even a lead wall with a thickness of 34 cm can only cause the neutron beam to lose about 10% of its kinetic energy, so a lead wall with a thickness of several meters may be needed... It is better not to use this kind of protective cover that urgently needs the cooperation of the enemy , let's look at the next... the sixth wave of total combat power!Super Huge Perfect Shield Operation! That being the case, how about combining all the previous methods?Used together, you are not afraid of any attack from the enemy, right? Icon: Done!The super-giant iron wall shield was born! First, in order to deal with neutron beams, the institute is surrounded by a lead wall dome several meters thick. Second, in order to deal with physical weapons, a steel dome several meters thick is surrounded on the outside of the lead wall! Third, the outside is covered with a glass wall full of electromagnets, and there is a 1 million-degree plasma with a thickness of 160 meters! Its outer layer naturally also has a glass wall covered with electromagnets! Fourth, in order to fight against the particle weapons, there are countless super huge magnetic pole plates on the periphery, forming a powerful magnetic field! Fifth, there are several moats on the outer layer, under which the heating and boiling are continued, and thick water vapor smoke is emitted to surround the entire research institute to prevent the enemy's laser attack! Sixth, in order to deal with the enemy's flame attack, countless particle beam emitters are deployed on the outside to launch into the sky, forming a very spectacular particle storm waterfall screen! How about it?In this way, any attack will not be able to do anything to the Institute of Photon Force, right?The institute itself is only a few hundred meters wide, but the outer shield is tens of kilometers wide!Layers of defensive weapons like iron walls are enough to deter the enemy. As the saying goes, "a soldier who surrenders without fighting", isn't it cool? What?Under such a heavy siege, how will Iron King Kong be dispatched?How do people in the research institute get in and out?How does radar detect the outside world?How does the command tower grasp the situation of the battle?How to communicate with the outside world? Uh... how about this, let's set up important facilities such as the command tower, radar, and Iron King Kong entrances and exits of the research institute outside this large circle of protective cover, so as not to hinder... but this way... it took so much What is the super-huge protective shield created by Dagong used to protect? Uh... um... It doesn't matter, anyway, our topic is "The Defense of the Photonic Force Research Institute's Iron Wall", and it is good to have defense, regardless of whether it has been defended in an important place!Ha ha! ...
