Chapter 79: Honor and Shortcomings

The journey of the convoy back to the Dragon Chant Research Institute had an atmosphere completely different from when they set off.

Although everyone carried a heavy smell of smoke and fire and undisguisable exhaustion.

But their eyes had a few more points of calmness and hidden excitement after being tempered.

But before they could fully settle down, the storm from the outside world had already rushed toward them.

On the internet, it had long been detonated by keywords such as "Dragon Chant," "Mech Rescue," "Missile Fire Extinguishing," and "Laser Spider-Man."

Countless blurry footage and fragmented videos taken by front-line firefighters, volunteers, and even nearby villagers with mobile phones were frantically forwarded and edited.

There was the shocking footage of the Iron Wolf Mark II pushing open obstacles in the sea of fire and opening up channels;

There was a close-up of the "Chengshan" exoskeleton carrying heavy equipment and charging forward side-by-side with firefighters;

There was the spectacular scene of the "Peregrine Falcon" missile rising into the sky dragging tail flames and blooming white flame retardant smoke clouds in the air;

There was the thrilling moment when the Mechanical Mantis shot blue lasers to precisely disintegrate the fire whirlwind;

There was even the moving scene of the "Xiao Bai" platform guiding the motorcycle team through thick smoke, with laser paths drawing clear guidance in the smoke...

【My God! Is this our country's technology?】

【This rescue efficiency is simply dimensionality reduction strike!】

【Does that black mech really exist? Too cool!】

【Who said we only know how to copycat? This innovation is off the charts!】

【Military and civilians united as one, their strength cuts through metal! Tears!】

【Dragon Chant Research Institute! Remember this name!】

Praises poured in like a tide, pushing the "Dragon Chant" team to the forefront.

Official media also followed up quickly, conducting in-depth reports with titles such as "Technology Empowers, Guarding Mountains and Rivers" and "The Youth Power Behind Hardcore Rescue."

Emphasizing the perfect combination of high-tech equipment and the heroic and fearless rescue personnel, showing the "military-civilian unity as one" of the new era.

The research institute's phones were almost blown up, and various interviews, cooperation, and even inquiries from curious people were endless.

Wang Hao looked at the screen-filling praise on the tablet, his mouth unable to close from smiling.

He walked with wind, telling everyone he met: "See that? Brother is really famous now!"

Even the aunt who served food in the canteen gave the members of the Dragon Chant team an extra scoop of meat, smiling and saying:

"Young man, saw you on TV, really brought glory to our unit!"

However, in this piece of flowers and applause, the atmosphere in the core conference room of the Dragon Chant Research Institute was completely different.

No celebration banquet, no summary commendation.

The curtains were drawn, and only the cold white light emitted from the big screen.

Feng Yan, Li Yang, Chen Guang, Wang Hao, Zhao Gong, and several technical backbone members sat around.

In front of each person was a copy of the "Cuiyun Mountain Fire Rescue Actual Combat Data Review and Problem List," which was dozens of pages thick and had just been preliminarily organized.

On the screen, all the problems exposed in this actual combat were listed one by one, the wording was rigorous, and even a bit dazzling:

【Exoskeleton System - "Chengshan"】

Problem 1: In an extreme high-temperature environment (continuous contact with over 80°C) for a long time (over 8 hours).

Slight leakage appeared in the hydraulic seals of some non-core joints, although it did not affect the function, it existed as a hidden danger.

Improvement direction: Replace with higher heat-resistant grade sealing materials, optimize joint heat dissipation air ducts.

Problem 2: In complex mountain environments, foot sensors are easily interfered with in thick ash layers, leading to occasional delays in terrain judgment (0.3-0.5 seconds).

Improvement direction: Upgrade sensor data fusion algorithm, introduce inertial navigation auxiliary compensation.

Problem 3: The battery management system's power estimation accuracy drops by about 8% under frequent high-power discharge/recovery cycles.

Improvement direction: Optimize BMS algorithm, introduce dynamic load calibration.

【Precision Delivery System - "Peregrine Falcon"】

Problem 1: In the complex updraft and variable crosswind environment of the fire scene.

The terminal ballistic correction accuracy dropped by about 15% compared to the laboratory environment, and some impact points were beyond expectations.

Improvement direction: Strengthen the anti-interference design of the projectile, introduce more advanced real-time meteorological data fusion guidance algorithms.

Problem 2: The uniformity of special flame retardant warhead dispersal is significantly affected by the projectile attitude and opening timing, and there is a phenomenon of local over-density or over-sparsity.

Improvement direction: Optimize warhead structure design and opening control logic.

Problem 3: The rapid reloading process takes a long time, affecting continuous strike capability.

Improvement direction: Design modular ammunition compartments, simplify reloading steps.

【Bionic Robot - "Insect Legion"】

Problem 1: The leg joints of the "Mechanical Spider" showed slight wear after frequently crossing sharp and scorching obstacles, affecting long-term reliability.

Improvement direction: Upgrade materials for key joint parts, add wear-resistant coatings.

Problem 2: The endurance time of the "Mechanical Butterfly" in strong convection and thick smoke environments was shortened by over 30%.

Improvement direction: Optimize aerodynamic layout, explore new high-energy-density micro-batteries.

Problem 3: The heat dissipation pressure of the "Bee Sting" laser is huge after continuous high-frequency pulse attacks, and there is a risk of forced power reduction.

Improvement direction: Strengthen micro-heat dissipation system, research phase-change material application.

【Energy and Support System】

Problem 1: The protection level of the interface of the "Tengshe" fast-charging array in the wild dust environment needs to be improved.

Problem 2: Some precision testing instruments need to be recalibrated after bumpy transport.

The list was still being supplemented, and each item was accompanied by detailed data screenshots, field records, and improvement suggestions.

Wang Hao looked at the line about the accuracy drop of "Peregrine Falcon" on the screen.

The proud smile on his face before disappeared, his brows twisted into a knot, muttering:

"Damn, that wind is really evil... this accuracy drop is a bit ugly."

Li Yang looked silently at the problems of "Chengshan" joint leakage and sensor delay.

His fingers tapped on the table unconsciously, obviously already starting to build improvement plans in his mind.

Chen Guang even took out his portable terminal and pulled up the heat dissipation model data of the "Bee Sting" laser.

Contrasting with the problems on the list, he fell into deep thought.

Zhao Gong swept over the problems about materials and processes on the list and hummed:

"The wild is not a laboratory, delicate things don't live long. These problems, better to find them early than late."

Feng Yan looked around at everyone, with no sign of being carried away by honor, his voice steady:

"The voices outside, just listen to them. What really allows us to stand firm is solving the problems on this list."

"This mountain fire is not the end, but a real, cruel full-subject pressure test for us."

"These exposed shortcomings are the hills we need to conquer next!"

He didn't say any grand words, but the power in his words made everyone sober up.

Yes, honor is in the past, and problems are the ladder to the future.

"Starting tomorrow, each group will focus on the problem list and formulate detailed improvement plans and schedules."

Feng Yan issued instructions, "We must thoroughly understand the experience and lessons of this actual combat and transform them into stronger combat effectiveness next time!"

The meeting ended in a pragmatic and slightly urgent atmosphere.

When everyone left the conference room, they no longer had the joy of triumph, but were thinking about new thoughts and challenges.

Wang Hao hooked Li Yang's shoulder and sighed: "Brother Li, it seems that our 'Stars' plan and your 'Chengshan' all have to be returned to the furnace for reconstruction..."

Li Yang pushed his hand away expressionlessly: "Hmm. The problem is clear, just change it."

"Find the problem and solve the problem, our mechs will only get stronger and stronger." ===== CHAPTER 80 =====
