Rise of the Wasteland Chapter 593: ‘Power Armor’ Junior Edition
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
"As early as the 1980s, the US military tried to create a piece of equipment to strengthen the combat effectiveness of infantry. During the war in Afghanistan, soldiers fighting in the mountains strongly demanded this kind of equipment."
"The US Department of Defense also hopes to obtain a mechanical exoskeleton that will allow soldiers to carry more weight, stronger weapons, longer-lasting combat, and better defense and mobility."
"But in terms of the technical capabilities of the last century, the bulky power system has completely failed this concept."
"In the first decade of the new century, the US defense industry giant Raytheon started the" Iron Man Project. "They have been able to allow soldiers to carry an effective load of more than one hundred kilograms for a long time, but this equipment is reliable. The **** is not high, and the body itself is too bulky. "
"And after a decade, the mass production of high-energy batteries made this idea of strengthening infantry again mentioned. Raytheon began to engage in" power armor ". After the cataclysm, we inadvertently near Washington, DC Found a fleet of vehicles with prototypes and research materials for this system. "
In a large storage room inside Granit Refuge, several standard containers are neatly arranged. Zhou Qingfeng walked into one of the containers and saw a large number of loose parts and semi-finished products, as well as a small data cabinet and supporting host.
A large number of disks are inserted in the data cabinet, with a capacity of up to 2EB, 1EB equals 102 ** B, and 1PB equals 1024TB. Many people now have one or two TB hard drives. This means that the storage capacity of the data cabinet is extremely large.
Zhou Qingfeng commanded: "Start the host of this set of things, I want to see what is in it."
Unfortunately ... no electricity. This set of things was never opened after being saved in the refuge. Zhou Qingfeng had to ask people to use high-energy batteries as power sources to reorganize the power supply system of these devices before the computer could work again.
When the display is turned on, it is the eagle emblem of the United States Department of Defense, followed by Raytheon ’s internal file encryption system, and a large authentication prompt is displayed on the screen. Elder Joseph handed over a card from the rear and said, "Try this authentication card, we found it on the body of a team."
The authentication card is inserted into the computer, and the display interface is replaced after a few seconds. Zhou Qingfeng is a bit confusing but clueless. He has never used such high-end goods for the military to develop confidential equipment!
At this time, it is necessary to start as an academician of Karen who has a treasure at home. Old people in their 90s have been exposed to a lot of state secret information and are very experienced in operating this special operating system. Zhou Qingfeng even had to record many steps as a primary school student.
Finally appearing in front of Zhou Qingfeng is a 3D view of the codename ‘Advanced Power Armor’. It looks very sci-fi, with smooth lines, rounded shape, and full steel armor, giving consideration to both deterrent power and practicality.
"Do you have this stuff?" Zhou Qingfeng is interested, and the equipment that can strengthen the combat effectiveness of the infantry is very attractive.
Several people in the Refuge Presbyterian Church looked at each other, or Elder Joseph stood up and said: "The prototype is here with us, but it is definitely not the state displayed on the computer. This" power armor "project is obviously at an extremely preliminary stage. What you see now is just a concept picture. "
Another container opened and Zhou Qingfeng saw the complete semi-finished product, which was far from what was seen on the computer. ‘Power Armor’ has armor anyway, but this can only be called ‘Power Skeleton’ in front of me. The soldier puts on this thing, and his torso is still bare.
"No armor?" Zhou Qingfeng looked a little dull. It was a bad review without armor and bulletproof! The soldiers could not wear this gadget and rampaged on the battlefield.
Elder Joseph said: "We only found these skeleton structures attached to the limbs, and the armor and external accessories were not seen. We speculate that these are the core parts of Raytheon's entire" power armor "project. As for other things, they may also be Not developed. "
According to the instructions on the computer, Zhou Qingfeng tried to wear this mechanical exoskeleton. His hands and feet are embedded in the exoskeleton, using a high-energy battery as a power source, a high-power micro-motor attached to the joint, an embedded computer to collect the wearer's movement information, and then let the mechanical exoskeleton strengthen the power of this movement.
It can be said that this is a very basic thing, but after trying a few times with Zhou Qingfeng, he found that he can really rely on this set of things to gain great power with very small movements.
The main hanger on the back of the exoskeleton can easily carry a load of one hundred kilograms. This load is fully borne by the skeleton and does not need to be borne by the wearer. The explosive power of the limbs can reach twice that of ordinary people.
This has already achieved half of the strengthening effect of NTZ-49, and what limits it is the strength of the wearer ’s own bones. For example, the body of Zhou Qingfeng's has been strengthened and the bones and muscles are extremely strong. He can increase the output power of the micro motor to obtain four times the power and ten times the explosive power.
"Katrina, with this thing, ordinary soldiers can also run 100 meters and five seconds like you." Zhou Qingfeng feels that this prototype of "powered armor" is still very useful. Although without armor can not improve the defense ability, but its auxiliary effect is real.
Because she is equipped with biochemical thighs, the strength of her legs is greater than that of Zhou Qingfeng. But now looking at Zhou Qingfeng wearing this quirky set of equipment, she can easily get the ability to go to the wall. She sneered, but she couldn't refute it.
However, when I was happy, Elder Joseph came to pour cold water. "Head Hugo, there is only one prototype that can be operated, and the materials and processes for manufacturing it are quite advanced. A complete supporting industrial system is needed. Guarantee.
But the industrial system no longer exists in the world. The entire "power armor" project needs to change the development direction, or adapt to the current production capacity. "
This prototype machine is made of a light and tough titanium alloy, and a strong magnetic motor is also used on the joints to ensure power output, so this set of things can be extremely light. But Wasteland's current industrial production capacity, it is difficult to create the same thing again.
"I understand what you mean. It takes a lot of follow-up work to get the full" power armor ". Zhou Qingfeng nodded slightly.
He also said: "I will take away all the research materials, parts and semi-finished products of the power armor, and pay you enough commodities. The material reserves of Aurora Legion will be fully open to you. The specific number of transactions will be Legion. Administrative Director Miss Lena Fox talks to you. "
There are just so many good things that the refuge can bring out. The amount of supplies they can exchange depends on their bargaining with the little fox.
After testing the "mechanical exoskeleton" on the body, Zhou Qingfeng secretly said: "If I can get through the difficulties ahead, I will definitely mass produce this kind of equipment. No matter where it will be, it will be The home ground of my army. "(To be continued.)
