One Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety-Seven, Different Roads Lead to the Same Destination

The research results have come out, but it is not that easy to transform the research results into experimental products.

The most troublesome problem is that the sound waves of the hedging are not completely offset. In a hedging environment, everyone will feel some abnormalities to some extent, like something is plugged in the ear, and there is an indescribable awkwardness.

Some people are more sensitive and may even experience obvious side effects such as dizziness and nausea.

The hedging of the two infrasound waves produces more serious side effects. In the hedging experiments conducted on laboratory animals, all experimental zoos showed varying degrees of agitation. If they stayed in the hedging environment for a long time, various physical injuries would occur.

In order to completely solve this problem, Beidu established a research team led by the military and conducted a series of experiments simulating battlefield conditions.

The experimental process is as follows. A high-intensity infrasound sound source is placed in a fully enclosed acoustic laboratory, and several monkeys wearing power armor are used to test the hedging equipment.

These monkeys were originally a species used for experiments. Because they had been kept in the laboratory, they were not affected by the insect plague.

There are some such experimental zoos in major laboratories around the world. Many people believe that these actions should no longer be used for experiments, but should be reserved for post-war restoration of wild animal populations.

But the military doesn't care whether the monkeys are endangered or not. The bosses only care about the experimental results, so the laboratory does not hesitate to bring them into the experimental site.

Professionals sent by the military put on armor for the monkeys. After testing the performance of the armor, the monkeys were sent to the experimental area.

There are two types of power armor worn by monkeys, one is standard armor with nothing added, and the other is experimental armor with added sonic hedging equipment.

This kind of hedging equipment installed on the armor has relatively low power and can only offset external sound waves with a radius of about one meter. After the equipment is turned on, a hedging safety zone with a radius of one meter can be formed near the armor, thereby solving the harm caused by infrasound waves to personnel.

At the beginning of the experiment, the moment the infrasonic cannon was turned on, the hedging device on the monkey quickly started to use corresponding sound waves to offset the external sound waves.

But a new problem immediately appeared. Although the intensity of the infrasound waves emitted by the hedging equipment was relatively small, they were still infrasound waves. It not only canceled out the external sound waves, but also penetrated into the armor. In just a few seconds, the monkey in the armor was The infrasound waves emitted by the recoil equipment were shocking to death, and no one survived.

The experiment was forced to end. After the infrasound source was turned off and the personnel entered the experimental area, they discovered that the sets of armor without hedging equipment had protected the monkeys very well.

Although the monkeys who survived were also seriously harmed by the infrasound waves, at least they were not killed on the spot by the infrasound waves.

The flaws are very obvious, but they are not insurmountable. Since the sound waves are transmitted into the armor, all we have to do is find a way to isolate them.

The designers immediately made corresponding modifications, removed the hedging equipment originally embedded in the armor, placed several layers of sound insulation material between the armor and the hedging equipment, and restarted the experiment.

The results this time were much better. The monkeys in the armor were irritable and restless, but none of them died in the experiment.

After increasing the thickness of the isolation layer, the experimental results did not change. The experimenters immediately realized that the problem was not the isolation layer and identified the cause in the shortest possible time.

The problem is simple. Although the hedging equipment cancels out external sound waves, the penetrating power of the infrasound waves it emits is not small at all. Even if there is a thick isolation material between the armor and the armor, the infrasound waves can still penetrate the armor.

After penetrating armor, the intensity of infrasound waves decreases significantly, and they are not fatal but can cause injuries.

The experimenters could only reduce the output intensity of the hedging equipment. As a result, the offset range of the hedging equipment decreased rapidly, from one meter to 70 centimeters, and then from 70 centimeters to 50 centimeters. Until this time, The intensity of the sound waves penetrating the armor dropped to a safe range.

There will definitely still be discomfort, but if you endure it, you should be able to persevere.

The experiment was initially successful, but what can fifty centimeters protect?

There is very little room for further improvement of the equipment. Fortunately, the designers quickly found a solution to the problem - since one hedging device cannot solve the problem, then just bring more hedging devices in front of you, behind you, up and down, left and right!

After intense modifications, a new sonic hedging armor was born. A total of nine hedging devices were installed on the limbs and torso of this armor to fully protect the safety of the personnel in the armor.

The following experiments proved that this armor can effectively protect personnel safety in high-intensity infrasound waves, basically meeting the requirements of the military.

It's just that the size of the hedging equipment is a bit large. With so many hedging equipment on one armor, it looks particularly bloated and rough. After the personnel sent to help by the military looked at the armor, they all shook their heads and said that this kind of armor has no actual combat capabilities. value.

The size of the hedging equipment has reached its limit. Any reduction in size will affect the hedging effect, and the experiment has stalled again.

With every experiment, everyone thought they were about to achieve success, but the results of each experiment were unsatisfactory. Many designers felt that no matter how they improved the design, they would never be able to meet Beidu's requirements.

For a while, the experiment seemed to have reached a dead end, and no matter how hard it was saved, it could not find a successful direction.

Some people do give up on themselves, but more designers still refuse to give up and find ways to solve the problem.

Soon, someone came up with a new plan - since the current thinking can't solve the problem, why not think about it the other way around?

At first hearing this sentence, everyone was a little confused and didn't know what it meant. But the engineer immediately came up with some useful information: Since the power armor cannot be equipped with so many hedging devices, why not install hedging devices? To other carriers?

Such as armored vehicles or tanks!

Everyone woke up from a dream and immediately realized the correctness of this idea.

The hedging equipment has been successful, and the experimental team immediately submitted the plan and mobilized several armored vehicles as quickly as possible.

The experimental team carried out a comprehensive modification of the armored vehicle. All the armor in all directions was equipped with sound-insulating interlayers. With the sound-insulating interlayers, the occupants of the armored vehicle can put on power armor and there will be no problem even if the hedging equipment is running at full power.

The improved armored vehicle achieved unprecedented success in the experiment, and all experimental animals were safe and sound.

The experimental results were reported to the senior management. When they saw the final report, the senior management was dumbfounded. They originally planned to research new infrasonic weapons, but they did not expect that the final research result turned out to be an anti-infrasonic armored vehicle!

But no matter what, the problem of infrasound wave protection has finally been solved, and it can barely meet the requirements of Beidu... This is what we mean by different roads and the same goal!
