Chapter 461 Iron Man (Part 2)
"Iron Man?" Academician Wang was taken aback, he had never heard of it before: "What do you mean?"
"A superhero in the comics over at Lao Mi." Zhao Yanyan glanced at Guo Tailai and explained speechlessly: "Wearing a steel battle suit, very powerful."
"It's very vivid!" A general next to him said, "I think our project can be called 'Iron Man'!"
Several generals nodded with a smile. Therefore, a rigorous scientific name should be the individual exoskeleton project, which was dubbed the "Iron Man" project by everyone, and it has a very unique but very appropriate code name.
Hearing that everyone quickly gave this project a code name of Iron Man, Guo Tailai was also very speechless. However, looking at the soldier carrying an 80kg backpack who was still walking like flying, and seeing the huge backpack on his back, Guo Tailai suddenly thought of another good thing also called Iron Man, the super machine gunner backpack.
In the future, this machine gunner backpack produced by the Natick Soldier Center can carry 500 rounds of ammunition chains and install 7.62mm machine gun ammunition. The machine gun supply is called the Iron Man Ammunition Carriage System (Ironman Ammunition Carriage System). This system can be used in any situation, but it is more useful when the longer-range M240 or M249 machine gun is required for continuous fire suppression.
Another commercial company called TYR Tactical Company sold a similar backpack earlier. The TYR backpack has a very long belt that can hold an additional 75 rounds of ammunition, for a total of 575 rounds. The backpack itself weighs only a few kilograms.
In Russia on the other side of the ocean, a Russian company named "Survival" (SRVV) cooperated with the Federal Security Agency to develop a 500-round piggyback chain box of the same design, which can directly supply ammunition for PKM and PKP machine guns.
In fact, in the Vietnam War and even the Chechen War, some soldiers used ammunition boxes to carry ammunition chains to play simply. This kind of ammunition box is not high-tech, but the system is integrated to ensure that the bullets can pass through the flexible belt during use. Just a smooth feed.
However, for Asian countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea and Vietnam, where soldiers are thin and thin, this kind of backpack is too big and too heavy! Of course, 250-round ammunition boxes can be considered to reduce weight. But now that there is an individual exoskeleton system with a load of at least 80 kilograms, why not build this thing for fun? That load, the last 1000 rounds of ammunition belt is no problem.
In addition, many people are dissatisfied with the 95-type squad light machine gun and feel uncomfortable all over the body. They have been torn for a long time. What they use as a "model" is the M249. Why does the US military use small-caliber ammunition chains for ammunition, which can be opened and replaced A light machine gun with a barrel, why don't we use it? We must be behind!
Guo Tailai suddenly had an idea, tinkered with this thing, and then tried it with an 88-type general-purpose machine gun. Of course, since Lao Maozi's PKP general-purpose machine gun has not been developed yet, Guo Tailai doesn't mind getting this general-purpose machine gun ahead of them. African black uncles make a fortune, but it should be good to give the country another choice, right?
The test of the individual exoskeleton control system was very successful. Academician Wang and his development team had tested it many times before. This time, they chose untrained soldiers for on-site training and achieved satisfactory results. The only issue is battery life, which comes down to the battery. However, this problem requires another expert to solve. Academician Wang is an expert in control systems, not a battery expert.
Although it cannot be promoted for the time being, there is already a world-leading technical reserve in China, and as Academician Wang's research deepens, various versions will appear. Once the bottleneck of the battery is solved one day, it can be put into use immediately.
The development team and military leaders are very satisfied with this, and the top military leaders also have a good impression of Guo Tailai again. As Guo Tailai's previous ideas and ideas became reality one by one, the executives also found that Guo Tailai really played a role that could not be ignored. Such a treasure, fortunately there is Zhao Yanyan who can hold Guo Tailai in the final assembly, otherwise the higher-ups would consider a special call for Guo Tailai.
Naturally, some of Guo Tailai's affairs abroad have once again entered the eyes of senior military officials.
"Is there no car factory in China?" A big man couldn't help frowning as he watched Guo Tailai buy a stake in Pagani, a super sports car factory in Italy: "China is so big, can't there be a person who can design and manufacture cars?"
"In the beginning, the fat man played by himself, but someone used this reason to torment him, so the fat man was very upset, so he ran out to play abroad." Someone immediately explained: "Later, the fat man sold the car model and made a lot of money. The domestic car system Some people here think that Fatty is disobedient, so there are no manufacturers who are willing to cooperate with Guo Tailai. A few private companies are willing, but they have been warned, so Fatty has no qualifications, so he can only go abroad to play."
"Where's our military depot?" The boss immediately became unhappy when he heard this: "We can give the fat man the license to manufacture weapons, but we can't give the license to manufacture a car? What is our military depot doing? Give him a design and manufacture How big is the problem with qualifications? Give it to him! Such a good talent, why do you have to force him to go abroad?"
"The qualifications for military vehicles can be given." The explainer smiled wryly: "But it is only limited to military vehicles. As for civilian vehicles, this belongs to the category of local management, and a qualification is equivalent to a license plate, and the interests involved are too great. Before there is a conclusion from above, no one dares to give it to someone easily."
"Only for design qualifications?" The boss frowned and asked again.
"There is no problem with design qualifications. In fact, no one cares whether Fatty can design or not." The person who just explained still smiled wryly: "Manufacturing is not acceptable. Without a license, it is an assembled car. It is against the law. But the license plate cannot be given to individuals. Now some automakers want to take over, but if Fatty just takes a new model, there will inevitably be differences of interest. It is also impossible for domestic manufacturers to give Fatty shares, so..."
It's a headache, and the military bosses can't intervene in local management affairs, so everyone can only watch this situation and have a headache.
"We can't control the local affairs, but for military vehicles, we should give Fatty an authorization immediately." The military boss finally made a decision: "Fatty can design and manufacture all military vehicles, and there are already precedents for weapons. Bian also refers to the latest cooperation method, if there is a new model, it must be bought out, or each car will be sold, we can't force our good designers to go abroad!"
