Chapter 455: Chapter 454 Optimization

Jiang Cheng, being human, couldn’t have anticipated everything in advance, so it’s quite normal to have overlooked a few things.

From this point, it’s clear how right Jiang Cheng’s inquiries were today.

Only those who frequently use the equipment can notice these detailed issues during use; others can never discover these just by imagination.

However, since the problem has been identified, it must be resolved immediately. Jiang Cheng is a person who pursues perfection and does not tolerate any flaws in his work.

Jiang Cheng doesn’t have many good ideas about close combat weapons and isn’t sure what kind of weapons to adopt.

He hasn’t really studied this aspect, having seldom come into contact with such things in his previous life, so his understanding is quite limited.

Due to his lack of ideas on close combat weapons, Jiang Cheng became pensive. But after pondering for a long time, he still didn’t have any great inspirations and was momentarily stumped by this issue.

Since no good direction came to mind, Jiang Cheng decided to abandon his solo contemplation and ask professionals for advice.

Not knowing and asking questions is one of Jiang Cheng’s strengths. While he understood the need to solve the problem, he also knew whom to ask to get it resolved.

There was an excellent person right in front of him to inquire about—none other than the operator of the Iron Man, who was undoubtedly the best person to solve this issue.

This elite soldier understands best the kind of weapon he wants, and since he raised the issue, he certainly has excellent ideas.

After all, the close combat weapon is manufactured for soldiers like him to use.

Asking the user is the best way to know what kind of weapon to make specifically.

So Jiang Cheng asked the soldier, ”What do you think would be the best close combat weapon to complement your Iron Man Armor?”

The soldier didn’t expect Jiang Cheng to seek his input; after thinking for a while, he answered, ”I’m just a simple guy, and I don’t understand weapon design. If you ask me to use a weapon to fight, that’s fine, but if you ask me to design one, I’m at a loss.”

After saying this, the soldier immediately scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.

”It’s fine. Whatever thoughts you have, just say it. You don’t need to understand design; that’s my job. You can talk about what kind of weapon you want to use and briefly explain its purposes,” Jiang Cheng promptly followed up.

Jiang Cheng only needed to derive a general idea for the weapon design from the soldier. As long as he could get an idea, he could develop it into something realizable.

After hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, the soldier began, ”If it’s up to me, the best weapon would be a long sword. A long sword feels absolutely natural to use, and with the Iron Man Armor’s strength, wielding a long sword would be quite powerful!

If the long sword is sharp enough, it would be even better. The destructive power needs to be sufficient, or else it won’t be effective against opponents. After all, future opponents are going to be humanoid armors, and a lack of sharpness won’t do. It’s best to have an indestructible long sword!

Since Masu said so, the soldier had no misgivings and directly stated his needs for the weapon.

This is the best close-combat weapon in his mind, summarizing the experience gained from using humanoid armor over time.

After hearing these opinions, Jiang Cheng immediately gained sufficient inspiration.

The soldier’s words provided Jiang Cheng with enough enlightenment, and with this, Su would be sufficient.

Once a general direction is found, Jiang Cheng can produce an excellent weapon.

Soon, Jiang Cheng returned to the lab and began designing a new weapon.

This time he didn’t have a template from his previous life to use, unlike before when he could completely replicate products from his previous life.

However, this didn’t stump Jiang Cheng; it just required a little more time.

He is not someone who only knows how to copy; designing a product from scratch is quite straightforward for him.

This time he needed to design something entirely anew, creating a close combat weapon suitable for the Iron Man Armor.

Before designing, he needed to carry out a lot of simulations to see what size weapon is most appropriate for close-quarters combat.

Lucy, start simulating humanoid armor combat immediately, focusing on close-quarters combat. Simulate all possible combat scenarios and various battle environments.

”Yes, Master.”

Jiang Cheng started letting Lucy simulate the close-quarters combat of humanoid armor, analyzing a variety of situations.

On the computer screen in the laboratory, a large amount of data began to appear.

This data was all the results of Lucy’s simulations, demonstrating countless possibilities, from which the optimal solution was identified.

This simulation is very close to actual combat, almost equivalent to real data collection.

Simulation analysis has many advantages and can save Jiang Cheng a lot of time.

The results obtained after simulated analysis are equivalent to an improved test after countless attempts.

As long as the design plan is drafted based on simulation data, it is possible to produce the most optimized product in one go.

It can be said that it saves countless intermediate steps and achieves instant results.

Although this simulation is exceptionally useful, not everyone is qualified to use it.

To conduct such near-realistic simulations, highly efficient computational power is essential, along with a human-like thinking model.

Given these conditions, only artificial intelligence can accomplish this.

Without artificial intelligence, conducting such simulations is out of the question, and one would have to honestly improve step by step.

This demonstrates just one small function of AI among many.

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng had already completed the creation of artificial intelligence, allowing him to enjoy the convenience it brings in the future.

Jiang Cheng looked at the data stream continuously flashing before him, feeling grateful for his previous decision.

Having developed artificial intelligence in advance is indeed very convenient, providing a perfect assistant for future endeavors.

After a while, a clear voice sounded in the laboratory.

”Master, the final results have been simulated. You can check them on the computer.”

After a period of simulation calculations, Lucy told Jiang Cheng the results.

Jiang Cheng began reviewing the simulated results and, after a while, said to himself, ”It seems that soldier was right; the long sword is indeed very suitable for the Iron Man Armor.”

All the data indicate that the shape of the sword truly fits well.

This weapon seems designed precisely for the humanoid armor. Whether it’s the way to exert force or the usage techniques, they completely align with the Iron Man Armor.
