Mecha Star Wars.

Chapter 176 Dive

Yu Guangli had said before that the mecha was going to the sea.

But before it is officially launched into the sea, various data such as the mecha's airtightness in the water, pressure resistance, etc. must be tested. Only after ensuring the safety of the driver inside can we dare to take the next step.

It is said to be a test, but it is impossible to go directly into the sea as soon as it comes up.

So it started in a special deep-water swimming pool.

Lin Fan was taught how to swim by Song Ren. Although it was an ugly dog ​​paddle, he could still float, but his skills were just average.

Compared to her, Xingchen is much more comfortable in the water.

After knowing that Xingchen's breathing in the water was not restricted, Lin Fan felt relaxed mentally, which made Xingchen, who originally sank to the bottom as soon as he entered the water, become like a living fish in the water, floating and diving very uncomfortable.

Compared to Xingchen, the other mechas are much more difficult.

The first is the issue of the mecha’s self-weight.

Because the mecha itself weighs 300 kilograms and its internal structure is mostly made of high-density metal, it will sink to the bottom once it is in the water.

Fortunately, there was no problem with the internal closed structure of the mecha, and there was no water leakage.

In the water, it is basically impossible to move freely by relying on the buoyancy of the mecha.

However, a new propulsion system has been installed. After it is turned on, the direction can be controlled by twisting the angle of the body.

After several days of practice, the four of them quickly mastered the skills of controlling direction and were able to move freely in the water.

The sealed water pressure test has also been completed. Because of the blessing of 818, the theoretical water pressure resistance data of the bionic armor can reach 70 atmospheric pressure.

But this is only theoretical data, and the actual situation depends on the actual dive. In addition to water pressure, tightness and oxygen content are also important data.

everything's ready.

Choosing a sunny day, the people from 623 borrowed a transport plane from the flight base next door and brought Fu Guang and four other mechas to a naval base together with Lin Fan and others.

Then he borrowed the route of a certain warship and reached the deep sea area of ​​​​the inland sea.

Such a test will inevitably involve soldiers on board warships. Cui Yan had already solved these problems when coordinating the itinerary.

The four mechas are tightly covered ships, and outsiders cannot see what's going on inside.

When they arrived at the predetermined location, all the staff on the deck avoided it. Only the captain and four first officers were left on the control tower, looking at the deck below.

They are insiders and must keep an eye on the whole process to prevent accidents.

The moment the canvas was unveiled, the well-informed captain and others couldn't help but study it.

"I said it was a mecha before, but I'm still like Iron Man. I didn't expect the real thing... to look much better." The first mate took a telescope and looked at the details carefully.

"Has our technological development reached this point?" The captain was also surprised.

"Who knows? Anyway, it's hard for me to imagine it without seeing this." The other first mate was also watching.

It seems that they were transported over on a flatbed truck, tilted upside down.

After taking apart the canvas, Song Ren directly turned on the Xinglan system, entered from behind, and got up on his own.

"Hey, look. It's much more flexible than I thought." First Mate C also looked through the binoculars.

"Yeah, it seems no different from the real person. It's really amazing." First Officer Ding nodded in agreement.

The staff of 623 were busy setting up equipment on the deck and tying safety ropes to the four mechas.

The other end of the safety rope is connected to an electric winch. If something happens below, turning on the winch can pull people out of the sea as quickly as possible.

"Oh, didn't you say there are five mechas to be tested? Why are there only four?" First Officer B became more and more concerned as he looked at it, "Is it five? Or did I remember it wrong?"

"That's right, I also remember there were five. Look, there are five winches." First Officer A replied, "There is still one that hasn't come out yet."

After everyone in 623 was ready, Lin Fan came out of the cabin and asked the staff to tie a safety rope on her.

"Look, isn't this coming out?" First Mate C noticed the stars and reminded the others, "It looks smaller."

"It's smaller, and the rope and winch she tied are much larger than the other four mechas." First Officer Ding observed equally carefully.

As he spoke, the five mechas launched themselves into the water, causing a splash of water, and soon lost their trace on the sea.

The experience in the sea is different from that in the swimming pool. Not only is the illumination different, but so is the buoyancy.

Because of the high salinity, the buoyancy of seawater is greater than that of clear water in a swimming pool, so the sinking speed used to be faster in the swimming pool.

This did not hinder Xingchen, but it obviously affected Fuguang and the others.

After Lin Fan discovered it, he quickly sank at the same speed as the others.

The further down you go, the darker the light becomes.

The water went from clear to murky. The sky seemed far away, and Lin Fan felt that as the surrounding environment changed, the atmosphere became a little quieter.

"Are you okay? How does the water pressure feel?" Yu Guangli asked from the earphone.

"Xingchen feels good." Lin Fan felt it for a while, but felt nothing special.

"The floating light feels good. There is no obvious sense of oppression." Song Ren's voice also sounded from the headphones.

At this time they belong to the same channel and can hear each other's voices.

"Jin Gang just feels good. There is no obvious sense of oppression." Li Chunhua's voice also came, sounding very excited.

"Yufeng feels good, there is a slight sense of pressure, and no obvious discomfort." Gao Fei's voice came next.

"Binglun feels good, there is no obvious pressure." Ji Yu's voice also sounded.

Because Gao Fei felt oppressed, Yu Guangli focused on his situation. After confirming that there was no problem, several people continued to dive.

"How deep is it now?" Lin Fan asked directly without a screen in front of her eyes.

"More than one hundred and sixty meters." Song Ren replied.

The light in front of me is getting darker and darker, and there are fewer fish swimming around.

Every once in a while, Yu Guangli would ask several people about their feelings. The answers are basically the same as feeling good, without any obvious sense of oppression.

Only Yufeng, who was flying high, didn't know what went wrong, but he felt more oppressive than the others.

At more than 300 meters, everyone except Lin Fan felt a certain sense of oppression, but no one felt any obvious discomfort.

At this time, if there is no protection from the mecha, this pressure can seriously compress the human internal organs and even crush them.

"Don't Xingchen feel anything?" Li Chunhua was curious.

"I don't feel anything." Lin Fan thought about it carefully and replied.

"Don't you feel it?" Yu Guangli's voice came, "Don't you feel any pressure at all?"

Xingchen's state is different from the other four, and requires special attention.

"No..." Lin Fan felt it carefully again before saying, "I still feel very comfortable. As if I am just a fish in the sea."

"..."

Although this description is an understatement, it gives a very vivid understanding of Xingchen's current feelings.

Although biological mechas are living mechas with a sense of touch, their performance is obviously much better than bionic mechas.

"Continue to dive." Yu Guangli continued to order.

Only ten minutes had passed and they still had room to test.
