Because of the melting point, this Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha is only equipped with cold weapons like knives, spears, swords, and halberds.
"Besides..." Gu Shanjun snorted, "For Mental Strength experts, thermal weapons are simply an impediment to speed! With a single sword strike, they can cleave opponents in two, even if they have Heavy Ion Cannons!"
Xia Chujian pondered, "...But, I still think the speed of thermal weapons can't be matched by Mental Strength experts. Otherwise, the military..."
"Don't bring up the military! No matter how powerful a Gene Evolver is, they can't fight against hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of Regular Army soldiers! Those are two different things!" Gu Shanjun passionately defended Gene Evolvers, seemingly very dissatisfied with Xia Chujian's words.
Xia Chujian pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I won't mention the military..."
Her eyes flickered again, as she recalled the scene of using her modified Large Sniper Rifle to "execute" that Rank B Mental Strength expert.
The other party's Mental Strength was useless at all; she solved the problem with a Grenade Launcher...
So, Mental Strength and Gene Evolution were not important to her.
Having thermal weapons at her side at all times was most important to her!
Xia Chujian was unwilling to give up this good opportunity and persistently asked, "Is it really impossible to equip this Black Silver Mecha with thermal weapons? I don't think the melting point issue is unsolvable."
Gu Shanjun was about to mock Xia Chujian for going against him when he heard someone from the headquarters communication channel excitedly say, "Open the encrypted communication; I want to talk to her directly!"
Gu Shanjun was slightly taken aback.
Then someone from headquarters nodded and gave the "allow" command in the communication system.
Gu Shanjun directly opened his holographic 3D communication video.
The scene in the office suddenly changed.
It was no longer the high-end and simple Dark Night Hunter senior director's office, but a very high-tech laboratory.
A tall, thin man in a white coat with a pale face appeared in Xia Chujian's view.
He had a handsome and elegant appearance, with a bit of an otherworldly air.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, that otherworldly air vanished, as if it was just a first impression.
Because when he spoke, his eyes were staring straight ahead, his neck was stiff, and he had a neurotic look, which greatly diminished the aura brought by his handsome appearance.
He didn't care about any of this; he just stared at Xia Chujian and asked very intently, "How do you think the melting point temperature can be solved?"
Gu Shanjun muttered beside him, "...Su Buyan, are you focusing on the wrong thing? This little girl is only seventeen years old and hasn't graduated from high school yet. Are you sure you can discuss the design of the Shao Siming Mecha with her?"
"Old Gu, shut up! I don't want to hear you talk!" The mecha designer called "Su Buyan" glared fiercely in Gu Shanjun's direction, then used his authority to directly kick Gu Shanjun out of their holographic call scene.
When Gu Shanjun tried to re-enter, he found that the holographic 3D communication channel he had initiated had been encrypted to the highest level by Su Buyan using quantum entanglement.
Gu Shanjun could see Xia Chujian standing in front of him, but he didn't know what she was saying or doing.
It was as if her soul was locked, and what was in front of him was just a body without a soul.
Gu Shanjun was lost in thought, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he silently activated the strongest alert system.
The design of the Black Silver material Shao Siming Mecha was top secret, both to the Dark Night Hunters and to the Beichen Empire's cabinet.
Only the Emperor of the Beichen Empire, as well as the president and vice president of the Dark Night Hunter Association, had the right to know its research and development process.
And as its chief designer, Su Buyan, of course, would not betray his technical secrets.
At this time, Xia Chujian was pulled by Su Buyan into the quantum communication channel with the highest level of encryption in the entire empire.
The principle of quantum entanglement determined that this conversation would only be known to Xia Chujian and Su Buyan.
Su Buyan was standing in his laboratory, saying to Xia Chujian, "Your name is Xia Chujian, right? I am Su Buyan, the chief designer of this Shao Siming Mecha. Don't be afraid; this uses the highest level of encrypted quantum communication system. Absolutely no third person will know our conversation."
"Tell me what you're thinking; maybe I can help you realize it."
Xia Chujian didn't care about encryption at this time, because she knew nothing about mecha manufacturing technology.
She was purely seeking to maximize the benefits of this Shao Siming Mecha for herself from the perspective of a consumer or user.
So she nodded and said calmly, "Chief Su, right? I'm just wondering, how can such a powerful piece of equipment like a mecha only be equipped with cold weapons? Why not equip it with conventional thermal weapons, or even Space-Based Weapons?"
Su Buyan said, "Director Gu has already made it very clear that it's because of the melting point of the Black Silver metal. You should know a lot about conventional thermal weapons, otherwise you wouldn't have made this suggestion, right?"
"To be honest, I've also been trying to figure out how to equip it with thermal weapons and solve the melting point problem... But I've used all known metals, including exotic metals, to smelt with Black Silver, but they can't be fused together, so naturally, I can't raise its melting point."
"If the melting point isn't raised, the mecha itself will turn into magma as soon as the thermal weapons are fired. Do you understand what I mean?"
Xia Chujian said calmly: "I understand. But my understanding of the power of thermal weapons doesn't lie in their high fire and high heat state. Isn't what truly makes thermal weapons powerful their kinetic energy?"
"Those ultra-high temperatures emitted by gunpowder or energy beams are all to generate kinetic energy, right?"
Hearing this, the light in Su Buyan's eyes gradually brightened, and even his breathing became a little heavy.
"...You mean, as long as enough kinetic energy is generated, the Shao Siming Mecha can exert the effectiveness of thermal weapons?"
Xia Chujian nodded, then shook her head, frowning slightly as she said, "What I mean is, as long as the Shao Siming Mecha can generate the same kinetic energy as thermal weapons, then the mecha itself is comparable to conventional thermal weapons, even Space-Based Weapons. At that time, the shapes of various thermal weapons are just extensions of the mecha's own shape. What do you say, is this idea valid?"
Su Buyan's whole body shook.
At this moment, he realized that Xia Chujian's concept was very original!
It could even be said to be the newest and most powerful application rule since the discovery of this special Black Silver material! They, as technical personnel, were already very familiar with the various properties of Black Silver material, but they were still restricted by old ways of thinking when it came to how to apply it to mecha design and manufacturing.
Because conventional mechas, even including Rank S Mechas, use metal as the basis for weapon mounting.
What if this metal itself could possess powerful kinetic energy at room temperature?! The second update is here. It's the first day of March, hand over your guaranteed monthly tickets, darlings!
