"Weapon loading? That's no problem." Shen Yun nodded and agreed. "Let's talk while we walk. I'll buy you a drink." Kashiwamura Reiko said with a smile. Although TPC also has a cafeteria, the atmosphere of the izakaya outside is better. Although TPC is an Earth Peace United Organization, it is not a job that requires you to stay at the base for 24 hours. Although there are often overtime, there are still clear working hours. The TPC base is located off the coast of Boso Peninsula, but there is an undersea tunnel under the base. This will not affect the travel of employees in the TPC base. There is also a TPC staff dormitory near the undersea tunnel of the base. "That's fine." Shen Yun thought about it, and it seemed that he didn't have anything important to do, so it was okay to go out for a drink. As the two talked, they took the elevator to the parking lot in the base.
"Hurry up and get in the car." Kashiwamura Reiko opened the door of a white sedan and said. Shen Yun opened the door of the co-pilot and got in. After getting in the car, Kashiwamura Reiko drove the car from the parking lot along the submarine tunnel under the base, heading towards the metropolis. As TPC's top scientific researchers, Shen Yun and Kashiwamura Reiko were naturally treated very well. Not only did they have generous salaries and allocated houses, but they also had cars for transportation. Soon, the car stopped in front of an izakaya near the TPC staff dormitory. Kashiwamura Reiko stopped the car and said with a smile: "We're here." Kashiwamura Reiko parked the car and took Shen Yun into the izakaya, introducing: "This izakaya was opened by a former member of the defense army. We can talk without worry." The two came to a remote corner and sat down. Kashiwamura Reiko picked up the menu very skillfully, ordered some dishes and wine, and then looked at Shen Yun and asked: "What would Dr. Shen like to drink?" "Just give me a drink, I don't like drinking very much." Shen Yun smiled faintly and said. "Okay." After ordering a cup of hot milk for Shen Yun, Reiko Kashiwamura returned the menu to the waiter. Soon, the sake and hot milk ordered by Reiko Kashiwamura were served. Shen Yun held the warm cup, looked at Reiko Kashiwamura, and asked, "Director Kashiwamura, what are you going to do?" "I haven't thought about it yet." Reiko Kashiwamura shook her head, and a little troubled expression appeared on her face. "When the Victory Swallow was first designed, it was designed for disaster relief, so it is actually very difficult to add weapons." She designed two models of the Victory Swallow.
Victory Swallow No. 1 is a highly maneuverable rescue aircraft for emergency situations. Victory Swallow No. 2 is a transport aircraft specifically used for transporting materials, equipment, and personnel. Although Victory Swallow No. 1 has gun ports and magazines, these weapons are mainly used for disaster relief and clearing obstacles. This is not a fighter aircraft used to fight monsters at all. "If you want to add weapons, you have to change the model of the Victory Swallow. But if you change the model, the safety of the driver cannot be guaranteed, so I think it is safer to design a completely new model." The current Victory Swallow is the best model after many tests and adjustments. Once the model is changed, it is likely to cause a series of problems and failures. Even the safety of the driver cannot be guaranteed. In this case, it is better to redesign a completely new model that can be equipped with weapons. Shen Yun shook his head and said: "Design a completely new model? Director Kashimura, your idea is good, but you also need to consider the actual situation." "A completely new model, not to mention its practicality and performance, it will take a lot of time for the team members and logistics personnel to familiarize themselves with the completely new model." "I'm afraid we don't have that much time." He knew very well that in the next three years, monsters and aliens would emerge one after another. If the Victory Swallow is not equipped with weapons, the Victory Team may not have any combat effectiveness at all. Although he had the GUYS aircraft design drawings in his mind, it would take a long time to build it. Not to mention the logistics staff and pilots, who would need a lot of time to familiarize themselves with the new aircraft. "No time?" Reiko Kashiwamura looked at Shen Yun in surprise and couldn't help asking: "Why do you think so?" "Director Kashiwamura, do you still remember the prophecy of the time machine? The first sign was the resurrection of Golzan and Melba. At first, it meant that this was just the beginning." "Dr. Shen, do you believe in that prophecy too?" "But the prophecy of this time machine is gradually becoming a reality, isn't it?" "However, Director Kashiwamura, your concerns are not unreasonable. We can give priority to strengthening the armament of the Victory Swallow for emergency use. The design of a new model can be carried out at the same time later." "Carry out at the same time... This is no problem, but there are not many parts of the Victory Swallow that can be equipped with weapons..." "How about installing weapons on the nose module? The Victory Swallow-1 was equipped with a machine gun and a 120mm multi-purpose launcher during the UNDF period, and the nose of the Victory Swallow is a replaceable unit, and various equipment can be replaced every time it attacks. This does not affect the model of the Victory Swallow." Shen Yun suggested. "That's a solution, but you said that conventional weapons don't seem to work against monsters." "We can use laser weapons. I remember that TPC's research on free electron lasers and charged particle emission devices has reached the stage of practical application. This can be installed on the Victory Swallow." "You mean the needle-shaped high-power free electron laser and the Texas unit?"
"Yes." "That's a solution." Kashimura Reiko nodded. "Then the weapon modification of Victory Swallow II..." "How about installing the Texas unit on Victory Swallow II?" "Impossible!" Kashimura Reiko rejected: "The caliber of the Texas unit accounts for about 80% of the width of the Victory Swallow II. Theoretically, it is impossible to install such a weapon." "The transport cabin of Victory Swallow II can be changed to a mechanism that can be expanded left and right, so that Victory Swallow II can accommodate the Texas unit." Shen Yun said. "But, after adding the Texas unit, there is not much space to add other weapons to the Victory Swallow II." Kashiwamura Reiko frowned and said. Shen Yun took out the PDI he carried with him, called up the drawings of the Victory Swallow II, and after a slight modification, said: "The replaceable modules on both sides of the fuselage of the Victory Swallow II can be changed to laser generators, and then a little space in front of the transport cabin can be left for the installation of free electron lasers and super photon laser cannons." "Such an improvement is indeed feasible!" Kashiwamura Reiko glanced at the design drawings modified by Shen Yun and was a little surprised. Why did she feel that Shen Yun knew more about the Victory Swallow than she, the designer of the Victory Swallow? However, this weird idea only flashed through her mind. "Does Dr. Shen have any better ideas about the design of a new model?" "How about designing a new model as a combined fighter?" Shen Yun said. "Combined fighter?" "Yes, combined fighter." Shen Yun nodded and said, "Combined fighter can connect the energy of fighters together to obtain faster propulsion speed, and even fuse different lasers together to exert far more power than ordinary." "Will this work?" Kashiwamura Reiko became interested in combined fighter. "Yes." Shen Yun nodded, and told Kashiwamura Reiko his ideas about combined fighter. Kashiwamura Reiko also took out a notebook and wrote down the ideas about combined fighter. When the discussion ended, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. After parting with Kashiwamura Reiko, Shen Yun went directly back to his single apartment. At this point, he was too lazy to run back to the base to test the performance of the Tiga armor. Let's talk about it tomorrow.
