The Progress of the Hk330 Metal Exoskeleton!
In the robot plan, there are already several sets of almost perfect designs for the shape of the metal exoskeleton. But even if the shape solution of the metal exoskeleton is completed, the key is how to design the driving method of the metal exoskeleton, which has become a big problem!
In the field of metal exoskeletons, there are currently two power driving methods.
The first is the pneumatic method, that is, the movement of various mechanical components is driven by gas pressure. The pneumatic solution has some advantages, such as lower body weight and more flexible power output. But the pneumatic solution also has weaknesses. The most serious weakness is the pneumatic pressure problem. The volume of the gas can be highly compressed, which is a considerable disadvantage.
The second driving scheme is hydraulic driving. At present, the hydraulic method is the mainstream, which is the main research scheme of various metal exoskeleton mechanisms, and has relatively mature technology.
After solving the driving scheme, we face a new problem, that is, the problem of energy storage! [
Due to the limitation of the shape, it is impossible for metal exoskeletons to carry a large amount of energy like aircraft and armored tanks.
The humanoid shape structure is destined to carry only a small amount of energy. This is true whether it is electrical energy or chemical energy.
Regarding the issue of energy, in the robot plan, three energy options are given. The first is a chemical energy source consisting of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The calorific value of hydrogen is three times that of gasoline. That is, the same mass of hydrogen produces three times the energy of gasoline. However, liquid hydrogen also has a weakness, that is, the density of liquid hydrogen is too low, only 708kgm3.
The second energy solution is a high-performance lithium battery, which is better than simplicity. However, due to the limitations of lithium battery materials and technical problems in the process, there will be less energy storage. In short, that combat time will be rather scarce.
The third, most common, and the most basic energy solution, uses aviation-grade gasoline as an energy source. Although the calorific value of aviation-grade gasoline is not high, the density of aviation-grade gasoline reaches 750kgm3. Under the same volume, the mass of aviation-grade gasoline is 106 times that of liquid hydrogen!
Under such a huge mass gap, even if the calorific value of liquid hydrogen is three times that of gasoline, it cannot be compared with the total calorific value of gasoline. The calorific value of aviation-grade gasoline reaches 48,000,000 joules per kilogram, which is equivalent to 3,600,000 joules per kilogram.
If the energy loss is not calculated, the energy produced by one kilogram of aviation gasoline is about 1333 times that of one kilowatt-hour of electricity.
It is precisely because of such a powerful advantage of aviation gasoline that it is in the current study. Aviation gasoline was used as the first research energy source.
Dong Guoguo also chose aviation gasoline without hesitation as the first research energy.
The eldest young master of the Rongcheng Military Region, Li Yuan looked at the design on Dong Guoguo's computer and asked, "Uncle Dong, why does this armor-like armor have a large backpack behind it? Such a design is too ugly! "
Dong Guoguo ignored Li Yuan, and the kid probably kept asking, so only Nai explained: "That's the fuel tank! If the design of the fuel tank is canceled, the entire metal exoskeleton will not function at all!"
Li Yuan was pleasantly surprised: "Uncle Dong, you mean that the development of the metal exoskeleton is about to be completed, can it be put into practical application?"
Dong Guoguo shook his head, "The main body of the metal exoskeleton is about to be completed, but its operating system needs to be completed by the boss himself. Without the operating system, the metal exoskeleton is just a decoration!"
What Dong Guoguo said is not bad!
In the robot plan, various conditions of the metal exoskeleton have been designed, including the overall shape, the individual specifications of each component, and even the micro internal combustion engine, all of which have been preliminarily prepared.
But the only thing missing is the operating system!
How important is the operating system? To give a simple example, let's say a personal computer has a powerful hardware configuration, but there is no operating system, and no other operating system, what's the use of it?
It is estimated that it has no effect except as a decoration!
"Uncle Dong, are you saying that as long as Shi Lei makes the operating system of the metal exoskeleton, the metal exoskeleton can be put into actual testing?" Li Yuan asked excitedly. [
"It's not yet possible, and further tests are needed on the material of the fuel tank. Since the fuel tank is back-mounted, it not only has to assume the function of the fuel tank, but also the function of defensive armor. When the sniper rifle is attacking, try to block the head as much as possible!"
Li Yuan frowned, he definitely knew a lot better than Dong Guoguo about anti-equipment sniper rifles. From the analysis of the name, since it has been called an anti-material weapon, its power cannot be underestimated.
Anti-material sniper rifle, mostly used to hit armored vehicles, and even attack tanks. With such a powerful attack, even the armor of the metal exoskeleton can defend against it, but the super impact force alone will make the combatants inside lose their combat effectiveness.
"Uncle Dong, I'm afraid it can't stop the attack of the anti-equipment sniper rifle!" Li Yuan said directly.
Dong Guoguo looked at Li Yuan with a half-smile, "Li Yuan, do you think I don't know? I'm just thinking about how to avoid the explosion of the fuel tank after resisting the attack of the anti-equipment sniper rifle!"
"Oh!" Li Yuan scratched his head awkwardly, "Uncle Dong, how big have you designed the fuel tank? If the fuel is not enough, the combat power of the metal exoskeleton can be ignored!"
On the computer, Dong Guoguo called up the design of the fuel tank, and said to Li Yuan, "Look at it for yourself! After reading it, get out of here, don't bother me!"
Li Yuan rolled his eyes, but was not angry, staring at the detailed parameters on the computer screen.
‘The length is 70m, the width is 50m, and the thickness is 10m. As a result, the total capacity is not large! ' Li Yuan secretly summed it up, and the total capacity is the length times the width times the height, which is equal to the standard 35 liters.
"Uncle Dong, the fuel tank is only 35 liters, will it be too small?" Li Yuan asked suspiciously.
Dong Guoguo rubbed his temples. If it wasn't for Li Yuan's special status, Dong Guoguo would have ordered Li Yuan to get out of the way!
"Li Yuan, do you know what the concept of 35 liters is? Let me tell you, the fuel tank capacity of an ordinary small car is only about 35 liters. For a 14-displacement car, the fuel consumption for 100 kilometers is about 7 liters, that is to say 35 liters of fuel tank, is enough to supply a car for 500 kilometers. Isn't that enough? The metal exoskeleton is equipped with such a fuel tank, which can support even the most intense combat situation for 4 hours Above. In non-combat situations, at least 12 hours of running time can be achieved.”
Dong Guoguo took a breath and continued: "Don't ask me why I don't continue to increase the size! The size of the fuel tank, after repeated calculations, the above size is the most suitable, it will not affect the metal exoskeleton battle, and It is completely suitable for conventional combat. If you want to ask why the thickness is only 10 cm, can you continue to increase it. Then I will tell you that in terms of thickness, you also need to load a 4m alloy armor and a 2m rubber shock-absorbing spacer to increase the thickness! "
Li Yuan pretended to understand, "Uncle Dong, I understand!"
"Get the hell out of here, don't delay my research work!" Dong Guoguo said bluntly.
Li Yuan walked to the laboratories of several other experts in a sullen manner, ready to ask about the situation of other experts. Due to the protection and the metal exoskeleton project, Li Yuan was designated by the Rongcheng Military Region to supervise the metal exoskeleton project.
Li Yuan knows almost nothing about the metal exoskeleton project. His only use in the research laboratory is to be idle!
In the aerodynamics research laboratory, Professor Song En, who is like a stuffy gourd, was selected by Dong Guoguo as the chief expert of the aerodynamics research laboratory.
Li Yuan walked into the aerodynamics laboratory and saw that Professor Song En was testing the aerodynamic flow linearity of some parts of the metal exoskeleton. He excitedly asked, "Professor Song, how is the aerodynamic performance of the metal exoskeleton? ?"
Song En is a standard stuffy gourd, Li Yuan asked him anything, he would not answer at all.
Li Yuan asked a few more questions, and found that Song En did not answer, so he could only go to other laboratories.
The mechanical shock absorption laboratory chaired by Professor Jin Da is improving the mechanical structure of the metal exoskeleton, striving to achieve better shock absorption effect. [
Li Yuan, a poor man, just walked into the mechanical shock absorption laboratory. Jin Da is generally unsmiling. He looked at Li Yuan with a serious expression and said directly: "Li Yuan, you go to Lu Fang's side to play!"
"Professor Jin, let me see if you have made any progress!" Li Yuan said sternly, wanting to sneak into the mechanical shock absorption laboratory to see what experiments they were doing.
Jinda snorted softly, "Let's play! We don't have time to talk to you!"
Under Li Yuannai, he could only go to the mechanical power research laboratory in charge of the good man Lu Fang. Although Lu Fang has a goatee and looks more sinister and cunning, Lu Fang is a good man.
Walking into the Mechanical Power Research Laboratory, Lu Fang was experimenting with a miniature internal combustion engine to be installed inside the metal exoskeleton. Metal exoskeletons have limited space, and every space inside must be fully utilized.
In the case of limited volume, how to generate more powerful power with the same volume is what Lu Fang needs to consider.
The power system of the metal exoskeleton is definitely the top priority. Without a strong power system, the combat capability of the metal exoskeleton is a small scum!
In order for the metal exoskeleton to generate powerful combat capabilities, it is necessary to have a powerful power core. Like a car, can a 10-displacement car compare with a 30-displacement car in terms of acceleration, top speed, and load capacity?
Li Guai stood beside Lu Fang and asked with a smile, "Professor Lu, how is the preparation of the metal exoskeleton engine?"
