Chapter 593 Primary Edition of ‘Power Armor’

"As early as the 1980s, the U.S. military tried to create a kind 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 U.S. Department of Defense also hopes to obtain a mechanical exoskeleton that will allow soldiers to carry more weight, stronger weapons, and longer-lasting combat while gaining better defense and mobility."

"But in terms of technical capabilities of the last century, the clunky powertrain completely defeats this idea."

"In the first ten years of the new century, Raytheon, the giant of the US defense industry, started the Iron Man project. They have been able to allow soldiers to carry an effective load of more than 100 kilograms to fight for a long time, but the reliability of this equipment is not high, and The body itself is too bulky."

"Ten years later, the mass production of high-energy batteries brought this idea of ​​strengthening infantry back to the fore. Raytheon began working on power armor. After the Cataclysm, we stumbled across a convoy near Washington, D.C. The prototype and research materials of this system are loaded on the vehicle."

In a large storage room inside the Granit Shelter, several standard shipping containers were neatly arranged. When Zhou Qingfeng walked into one of the containers, he could see a large number of scattered parts and semi-finished products, as well as a small data cabinet and supporting mainframe.

There are a large number of disks inserted in the data cabinet, with a capacity of up to 2, 1 equals 102, and 1 equals 1024. Now many people only have one or two hard drives. This means that the storage capacity of the data cabinet is extremely large.

Zhou Qingfeng ordered: "Start the host of this set of things, I want to see what's inside."

Unfortunately, there is no electricity. This set of things has not been opened since it was saved by the shelter. Zhou Qingfeng had to ask someone to bring a high-energy battery as a power source, and reorganize the power supply system of these devices to make the computer work again.

When the monitor was turned on, it was the eagle emblem of the U.S. Department of Defense, followed by Raytheon’s internal file encryption system, and a big identity authentication prompt was 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 person in the convoy."

The authentication card is inserted into the computer, and the display interface replaces after a few seconds. Zhou Qingfeng was a little confused and clueless, he had never used this kind of high-end product developed for the military to develop confidential equipment!

At this time, academician Karen, who is a treasure in the family, needs to step in. The elderly 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 like a primary school student.

What finally appeared in front of Zhou Qingfeng was a 3D view code-named advanced power armor. It looks very sci-fi, with smooth lines and rounded shapes. It is a full-fledged steel suit, taking into account deterrence and practicality.

"Do you have this thing here?" Zhou Qingfeng became interested. The equipment that can strengthen the combat effectiveness of infantry is very attractive.

Several people from the Sanctuary Presbyterian Church looked at each other, and Elder Joseph stood up and said: "The prototype is here with us, but it is definitely not in the state displayed on the computer. This power armor project is obviously at an extremely early stage. You see now It’s just an idea.”

Another container was opened, and Zhou Qingfeng saw a complete semi-finished product, which was far from what he saw on the computer. The power armor has armor anyway, but the one in front of it can basically only be called a power skeleton. Soldiers wear this thing, and the torso is still exposed.

"No armor?" Zhou Qingfeng looked a little dumbfounded. It's a bad review if it's not armored or bulletproof! Soldiers can't run rampant on the battlefield wearing this thing.

Elder Joseph said: "We only found these skeletal structures attached to the limbs, and did not see armor or external accessories. We speculate that these are the core part of Raytheon's entire power armor project, and other things may not have been developed yet. "

According to the instructions on the computer, Zhou Qingfeng tried to put on this mechanical exoskeleton. His hands and feet are encased in an exoskeleton,

Using high-energy batteries as the power source, high-power micro-motors are attached to the joints, and the embedded computer collects the movement information of the wearer, and then allows the mechanical exoskeleton to strengthen the strength of this movement.

It can be said that this is a very elementary thing, but after Zhou Qingfeng tried a few times, he found that he can indeed rely on this set of things to gain great strength with very small movements.

The main hanger on the back of the exoskeleton can easily carry a load of 100 kilograms. This load is completely 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 reached half of the strengthening effect of 49, and what limits its improvement is the strength of the wearer's own bones. For example, Zhou Qingfeng's body has been strengthened, and his bones and muscles are extremely strong. He can increase the output power of the micro-motor to obtain four times the strength and ten times the explosive power.

"Katerina, with this thing, ordinary soldiers can run 100 meters in 5 seconds like you." Zhou Qingfeng felt that this prototype of power armor was still very useful. Although the lack of armor cannot improve the defense ability, its auxiliary effect is real.

Hunny's legs are stronger than Zhou Qingfeng's because of her biochemical thighs. But now seeing Zhou Qingfeng wearing this weird equipment and easily gaining the ability to fly over walls, she snorted coldly, but couldn't refute it.

But when he was happy, Elder Joseph came to pour cold water, "Master Hugo, there is only one prototype machine that can be operated, and the materials and craftsmanship used to make it are quite advanced, and a complete supporting industrial system is needed to guarantee it.

But the current world no longer has this industrial system, and the entire power armor project needs to change its development direction, or adapt to the current production capacity. "

This prototype machine is made of light and tough titanium alloy, and strong magnetic motors are used on the joints to ensure power output, so this set of things can be made extremely light. But with the wasteland's current industrial production capacity, it would be difficult to make the same thing again.

"I understand what you mean. A lot of follow-up work is needed to obtain a complete power armor." Zhou Qingfeng nodded slightly.

He also said: "I will take away all the research materials, parts and semi-finished products of power armor, and pay you enough commodities. The material reserves of the Aurora Legion will be completely open to you. The specific transaction quantity will be determined by the Legion Administrative Director. Miss Lena Fox to talk to you."

That's all the good things that the shelter can bring out, and how much they can get in exchange depends on their bargaining with the little fox.

After Zhou Qingfeng tested the mechanical exoskeleton on his body, he thought to himself: "If I can overcome the difficulties in front of me, I will definitely mass-produce this kind of equipment. No matter where it is at that time, it will be part of the army under my command." Home." To be continued.
