Chapter 35: Iron Wolf

The demonstration of "Iron Wolf" and "Xiao Bai" completely heated up the venue.

The look in the experts' eyes at this group of "makeshift teams."

Had already changed from the initial "come to see something fresh" to "there's something here."

Feng Yan struck while the iron was hot and hurriedly greeted the next group of contestants to take the stage.

"Next, Chen Guang will demonstrate the precision application of the laser system."

Feng Yan said into the megaphone, but his heart was beating a bit.

Old Chen is a person who doesn't make a sound, but when he does, he startles people—the kind that scares people to death.

Chen Guang pushed his glasses and walked to the center of the venue.

In front of him was a specially made workbench.

On it was his laser equipment that had been "standardized" and was brand new inside.

Next to it were several computers and auxiliary instruments.

The posture didn't look like he was demonstrating black technology, but rather like he was about to perform a precise surgery.

"Leaders, experts," Chen Guang opened his mouth, his voice not loud.

But it clearly spread throughout the venue through the microphone, "The essence of laser is controllable energy."

"I will demonstrate two application directions: one is extreme static precision, and the other is fast dynamic response."

The first item, micro-carving.

On the workbench was fixed a special alloy plate the size of a palm, with a surface as smooth as a mirror.

Chen Guang operated quickly on the computer a few times.

Selected a preset complex pattern—not any traditional pattern.

But a... "Iron Wolf" workshop wolf head vector diagram with extremely complex lines and details that were maddening.

Next to it was a line of miniature seal script characters: "Iron Wolf Workshop."

"Start etching." Chen Guang pressed the Enter key.

The laser head made a slight "buzzing" sound that was almost inaudible.

Started moving precisely above the workbench.

A low-power laser beam that was almost invisible to the naked eye focused on the surface of the alloy plate.

No sparks, no thick smoke.

Only where the laser swept, the metal surface underwent extremely subtle color changes.

Everyone held their breath, stretching their necks to watch.

But due to the distance and reflection, they couldn't see the specific progress at all.

Wang Hao was smart, having long ago set up a high-speed camera connected to a large screen.

The lens was aimed at the alloy plate.

At this moment, the large screen was displaying the etching process in real time.

Now, everyone saw it clearly.

The laser spot was like the carving knife in the hands of the top micro-carving master.

Wandering on the metal surface.

The lines were as thin as hair, but the edges were sharp, without any burrs.

The complex gear patterns, the hair details of the wolf head, and the line of seal script characters that were small to the point of being outrageous.

Were being "drawn" bit by bit with astonishing clarity.

The whole process was quiet, precise, and stable to the point of making one's scalp tingle.

"This precision... can it reach the micron level?" That academic old professor couldn't help but lean closer to the large screen.

Almost sticking his face to it, muttering to himself, "This positioning stability, this energy control..."

"Used in micro-electronics processing or precision medical devices..."

Feng Yan's internal OS: 'Stable! Old Chen directly showed off to the experts' hearts!'

'This isn't a laser, this is a needle that has become a spirit!'

A few minutes later, the etching was completed.

Chen Guang took down the alloy plate, and Wang Hao happily held it and sent it to the experts for circulation.

Looking at the pattern that had a metallic luster in the sun and was as perfect as a print.

The experts all showed expressions of amazement.

Team Leader Zheng looked at it for a long time with a magnifying glass and nodded.

Didn't speak, but the appreciation in his eyes was enough to explain the problem.

"The second demonstration item, dynamic tracking and energy control."

Chen Guang's voice pulled everyone's attention back.

The style of this item changed abruptly, from an elegant micro-carving master to...

Uh, a master at swatting flies?

Wang Hao appeared again, carrying his small pneumatic catapult that had been "calibrated," and adjusted the angle.

This time what was launched was not a small ball.

But a special light-weight thin sheet the size of a fingernail, covered with a special flammable coating on the surface.

"Target launch!" Wang Hao shouted and pressed the button.

"Whoosh—" The small thin sheet was projected out in an irregular, rotating, and tumbling trajectory, so fast it was almost invisible.

Almost at the same time, a low-power visible red light emitter on Chen Guang's laser system lit up!

A thin red light spot instantly appeared.

Like a maggot on a tarsal bone, it bit onto the small thin sheet that was dancing wildly in the air!

The light spot moved rapidly following the tumbling and changing direction of the thin sheet.

The trajectory was as smooth as silk without a trace of delay, precise to the point of being outrageous!

What's more amazing is that after tracking for about two seconds.

The brightness of the red light spot seemed to have increased by one level!

Only a light "poof" sound was heard, and the small thin sheet moving at high speed in the air was instantly ignited.

Turning into a small cluster of sparks that quickly extinguished, dissipating in the air.

And the laser light spot also instantly extinguished after the target disappeared.

The whole process, from launch to tracking to ignition, took less than three seconds. Fast, accurate, and ruthless!

"Damn!" This time even the jacket-wearing expert who had been very calm couldn't help but let out a low cry.

"This response speed! This prediction algorithm!"

Wang Hao felt honored, as if he were the one controlling the laser, waving his fist excitedly: "Awesome! (Voice crack)"

Chen Guang pushed his glasses and reported calmly:

"Dynamic target tracking success rate, about 92.7% under current environmental conditions."

"Energy control level is adjustable, can achieve switching from indication, ignition to higher power modes."

The scene instantly erupted into warm applause! Even Team Leader Zheng took the lead in applauding.

Feng Yan was so happy he felt like he had half a foot in the door of the "National Team."

He took the opportunity to announce: "Alright! Thanks to Chen Guang for the wonderful demonstration!"

"Next, is today's finale project, Wang Hao will demonstrate his 'Haoyu Precision Delivery System'!"

Wang Hao took a deep breath and walked to the launch area.

In front of him was his precious "prototype," and next to it were several "ammunition" of different shapes that looked strange.

"Leaders," Wang Hao opened his mouth, and that confident momentum came back.

"This thing of ours, the principle is not complicated, it's just giving the 'firecracker' a brain and a steering wheel!"

"Today I will show you what 'hit where you aim' means, plus a little bit of... art creation!"

He first loaded a standard test round.

"First shot, linear precision strike! Target, that abandoned oil drum 300 meters away!"

Press the launch button.

"Whoosh—Boom!"

A white smoke streaked across the sky, precisely hitting the rusty oil drum, making a dull explosion sound, and a flash of fire.

"Good!" The experts nodded, the basic precision was no problem.

"Second shot," Wang Hao changed to a warhead that looked more complex, "S-shaped maneuver avoidance! Target, the same oil drum!"

Launch!

This time, the missile drew a clear "S" shaped trajectory in the air, like a dancing silk ribbon.

Skillfully bypassed a simulated obstacle set in the middle, and then plunged into the oil drum!

"Beautiful!" The applause was even warmer.

Wang Hao was encouraged, his face shining.

He took out his "big killer" that he had been attacking for countless days and nights.

"Third shot! Watch closely, leaders!" His voice even trembled a bit, "Complex trajectory demonstration! Target... still that oil drum!"

"But it has to... draw a circle and go in!"

Feng Yan's heart instantly jumped to his throat: 'Ancestor! You must not drop the chain at the critical moment!'

The experts were also clearly more focused, obviously aware of the difficulty of this "drawing a circle."

Launch!

The "prototype" rushed into the sky dragging its tail flame and started twisting in the air.

It first climbed upward, then suddenly turned to one side, trying to form a circular arc...

But I don't know if it was the control algorithm or the airflow influence, that arc was a bit... flat.

Like an egg that had been stepped on.

Just as it was about to become an "egg hitting an oil drum," the missile body seemed to pause slightly.

The micro-servos inside frantically corrected, and at the last moment, it forced the trajectory back a little bit.

Barely forming an irregular circular trajectory with a small tail, and then "boom" hit the target.

The circle was drawn, but as for the word "round," it could only be said to be barely related.

The scene was silent for a moment.

Wang Hao's face collapsed for a moment, but he immediately stiffened his neck and explained forcefully into the megaphone:

"Ahem! Leaders saw it, right! This is adaptive trajectory in a complex environment!"

"It can dynamically adjust the optimal path according to the actual situation!"

"This circle... this circle is full of irregular beauty of postmodernism!"

"Pfft—" an expert couldn't help but laugh.

Even Team Leader Zheng shook his head with a smile.

Feng Yan hurriedly smoothed things over: "Wang Hao means, we demonstrated the potential of variable trajectory!"

"As for the precision of the circle, it is the direction for our next continuous optimization!"

The jacket-wearing expert stroked his chin, thoughtful:

"Although it's not round, it can achieve this degree of non-preset trajectory adjustment under such low cost and simple control..."

"Very interesting. This unpredictability itself is an advantage in some scenarios."

Wang Hao's eyes lit up immediately: "Leader is wise! That's what we want, this 'seductive' movement, making the enemy unable to figure it out!"

Finale, Wang Hao sacrificed his "swarm" concept verification missile.

Launching three micro-warheads at once.

Requiring them to hit different points in the same area at different times and from different angles.

This time, the demonstration was a stunning success!

The three small warheads were like being given life, drawing three different beautiful arcs in the air after a short separation.

Almost simultaneously precisely covering the target area, the explosion points were evenly distributed!

This scene completely stunned the whole audience!

"Low-cost, distributed strike..." The jacket-wearing expert's eyes were burning.

Looking at Wang Hao, his eyes had completely changed, "Young man, your 'firecracker' has reached a realm."

Wang Hao was really floating this time, hands on hips, wishing he could take off on the spot:
