Chapter 91 Living Armor

"Director." As soon as I arrived at the restaurant, I saw Scott and the others waving to me. These guys have to pretend to be magic pets in the game, be cautious in their words and actions, and become bold outside.

I walked over and sat down next to them, grabbed a plate of food and said while eating: "After you finish eating, follow me to the equipment warehouse. I saw the notice in my room just now. The equipment for our latest experimental test was delivered the day before yesterday. It’s all finished, I didn’t notify us because I wasn’t in a hurry, I just saw it today.”

"What kind of equipment is it?" Ring Knight Atavia asked.

"I only saw the notice, I don't know what it looks like."

Scott immediately said to them: "Let's eat quickly and go look at the equipment right away." These guys immediately finished the things in twos and followed me to look at the equipment.

I first went back to my room and took out my own set of armor. I was notified that my set would also need to be replaced with a formal model, as the experimental model was too unstable. Arriving at our dedicated main equipment experimental site, all equipment has been set up. Wei Na, Ling and the others are already waiting here.

"Is that all?" I asked as I walked among the researchers and pointed at the iron boxes standing on the ground like refrigerators.

After several researchers came over to carry away the experimental armor I had moved, the research director said to me: "This is the final model of the biochemical armor sent from the underground experimental base in Chongqing. After everyone's efforts, the cost has finally been reduced to 100 million. It’s within RMB, and it’s more powerful in terms of performance than the experimental model I gave you last time.”

"Anyway, open it first and let us take a look."

The administrator immediately said: "Okay, just put your hands on the genetic testing panel on the side of the box. These are boxes that only you can open."

"Is there no order?"

"The order is all out of order, but your names are in the box. You can look for it yourself after opening it."

We had to go over to open the box together. After opening it, everyone forgot to look for the name and were all stunned.

"Isn't this Ziri's armor in the game?" The box Weina opened turned out to be exactly the same as my magic dragon armor. It turns out that the experimental shape was just a replica, but this one actually copied the design completely.

"Wow! This seems to be our armor!" Lan pointed to the armor in his box and said to the other Ringtone Knights.

I said to them: "Match the names first."

Wei Na immediately said to me: "Shenlin, yours is with me."

I looked at my box and said, "Xiao Chun, yours is over here." Then I hurried towards Wei Na.

So many boxes were quickly exchanged, and I felt a familiar feeling standing in front of my own equipment. Are the things in this big box exactly the same as my gaming equipment? I was surprised and took a ring from the hook on the side of the box: "Holy crap! Isn't this the guardian of the evil dragon?"

Wei Na also excitedly took out an exquisite staff: "Isn't this my divine staff?"

Scott held the sword and giggled there: "Hey, this is exactly the same as my Undead Cutter." His expression suddenly changed and he took the sword in his hand and weighed it a few times: "Why is it so light? Hollowly?”

"Light?" A young researcher next to him took the list and looked at it in surprise: "This sword weighs almost 50 pounds. Is it still light?"

The research director said: "Their muscle strength is different and cannot be measured by our standards." He turned to us and said: "First take out the armor and try it to see if it fits. If there is anything that doesn't fit, you must tell us. We are easy to change. No matter whether it is big or small, even if it is uncomfortable at all, you have to say it, which will have a great impact on future improvements."

I quickly took the lead and took out the armor inside and started putting it on my body. The order of wearing these armors is exactly the same as the armors in the game. Everyone is completely familiar with it and can change it quickly. After I changed it, I jumped a few times and it seemed like there was no problem.

"This armor doesn't seem to be too heavy!" Scott asked.

The supervisor explained from the side: "These armors are not made of metal, so they are not heavy."

"Isn't it metal?" I knocked on the armor on my chest, "What is this? It sounds like a turtle shell."

The supervisor turned on the giant display on the wall of the experimental site and pointed at the screen with a visible laser pointer and explained: "What you are seeing now is a bacterium called bio36. This bacterium will remain in the place where it lives after it continues to reproduce and die. The next layer of sediment. This principle is somewhat similar to the process of coral polyps making coral, but the bacteria more thoroughly condense the various residues. Finally, when the sediment is thick enough, we will get these things on you. It can be said that The materials for these armors were grown, not made.”

"It turns out it's microbial coagulation technology, but I didn't expect that it can already produce finished products?"

The supervisor said awkwardly: "Actually, this technology has not yet been put into practical use. The main reason is that the cost is too high. Because you don't use a large amount, you can barely do it. If you mass produce it, I'm afraid it won't be affordable."

Bacteria cannot be cultured and can be used in manufacturing without restrictions. A set of equipment is required to ensure that they do not undergo uncontrollable mutations, and some equipment is also required for specific temperature and environmental control. Biotechnology sounds simple. In fact, it is a very complex project. Even a company like Long Yuan does not dare to start the project randomly. This investment cannot be earned back.

Scott held up a shield and asked, "How is the hardness?"

The supervisor immediately regained his proud expression and said: "Because it is a product of the bacterial industry, the structure is completely arranged at the molecular level. The hardness exceeds any known alloy. It can be said to be the strongest material on the earth so far, and the average The density is only one-third that of titanium alloy. The material is mainly composed of carbon elements. The multi-bond connection between atoms not only ensures the strength but also gives the material a certain degree of elasticity, which means that although it is strong. But it’s not as fragile as glass.”

"Lightweight and strong materials are indeed very good things." Wei Na took her armor and said: "But why is my armor different from the one in the game?"

The supervisor explained: "The men's armor in the game itself is full-coverage, and the body is completely wrapped, while the women's armor mostly leaves the abdomen and thighs free. In the game, it is for beauty, but in reality we have to use Protecting your life safety is the first consideration. Therefore, some modifications have been made. Although it has become a full-coverage type, the overall shape has not changed much, and some parts are movable. They can be folded onto the lower armor when not in use. This The armor itself functions as a diving suit. Once worn, it completely isolates the inside and outside of the body. It can be used in the water or as a three-proof suit."

"Does this thing still have three defenses?" I weighed the armor in surprise. "This thing is good at protecting against gas and biological weapons. Can it withstand radiation so lightly?"

The supervisor once again explained on the big screen: "This set of armor is actually not a piece of armor in the simple sense. It should be said that it is a living thing."

"What? Is this a living place?"

The supervisor nodded. The on-screen footage shows multiple views of the armor and an analysis of its structure. The supervisor pointed at the picture and gave us a little explanation. "This is the outer layer of the armor, which is the layer of super strong material we just talked about. Highly compressed material with heat insulation, high temperature resistance, high hardness, and absorption of infrared radiation. Below this," the first armor in the picture The layer flew out and moved to the side.

The supervisor pointed inside and continued to explain: "This is the soft biological layer, which we use as a biological battery. This living thing has many functions, the most important of which is to repair the external armor. Although this hard shell is not easily damaged, we The issue of repair has still been considered. This layer of organisms can also produce this material like the bacteria, but its speed is relatively slow, but its main task is to repair. It doesn't matter if it is slow. Once the armor is damaged, it will deposit Producing new shell materials to refill gaps or holes can basically be said to be a form of self-repair.”

"What about itself?"

"Of course it also has the ability to recover. For molluscs, recovery ability is the first priority. As long as it is not completely killed, a sufficient number of cells can slowly divide and grow back to their original size. And due to genes The anastomosis of the cap, when cut, does not split into two individuals but fuses back to the base form after contact.”

"What about energy?"

"The energy organ is located in every cell. The energy of this armor comes from two parts, one of which is your body temperature. It absorbs heat and converts it into energy. And you happen to have a very fast metabolism, and your body temperature will rise very high after strenuous exercise. , at this time it can correspondingly accelerate the absorption of heat to help cool down, which is equivalent to a refrigeration system. Of course, in addition to this, it can also directly use electrical energy, that is, charging, and biological cells do not require power supply, regardless of AC or DC, as long as the voltage is not If it exceeds 10,000 volts, it can be directly connected to charge. If necessary, a car battery can also be used. The energy consumption of this creature is mainly used for its own survival and repairing its armor. It cannot move itself and consumes little. As long as the armor is not damaged, they Your body temperature alone is enough."

The layer of molluscs in the image has been peeled off again, revealing what looks like a pocket of water underneath. The supervisor pointed at this thing: "This is the fluid sac of this soft-bodied creature inside the armor. The outer skin sac is composed of a large amount of carbon fiber and muscle tissue, and the inside is filled with a blue solution. These blue solutions are efficient electrolytes. They are substances used by this soft-bodied creature to store excess energy. At the same time, these liquids cooperate with the soft-bodied creature itself in the liquid sac to form a soft Padding. Does it feel like you’re lying on a water bag after you put it on?”

Scott moved a few times and said, "I wonder why it feels so comfortable!"

The main pipe: "These fluid sacs have a certain degree of fluidity, so they can fully absorb the impact. When you are attacked, the outer layer of armor will block direct damage, and these things will absorb the shock. The last resort of defense. We have experimented many times before, and these armors can withstand any individual weapon."

"Including anti-tank rocket launchers and anti-materiel sniper rifles?"

The supervisor also joked with us. "Just don't get hit by an anti-ship missile."

"Is this thing so defensive?"

The supervisor said: "Actually, only you are suitable for these armors. For us ordinary people, its defensive power may not be as good as the armor of a main battle tank."

"Why?"

"Because of the vibration. The shell of this armor is hard enough, and nothing will penetrate it and 'shoot' into your body, but the vibration will damage the internal organs. After the impact of an anti-tank missile is fully released, there will be An instant acceleration of about 40g is generated on the ground personnel. The limit of g-force for normal people is 8 to 10g, and 12g is enough to be fatal. Even if you are equipped with a special anti-g force suit, it does not exceed 15g, and the remaining 25g is still fatal. But you are different . Your body limit is 63g, which itself exceeds the safety standard, and the 'liquid' bag in this armor can also resist acceleration of 5 to 7 g. In other words, if you are wearing armor and are directly hit by an anti-tank missile, You will be blown up more than thirty meters, but you will not be injured. But if it is people like us, the body may be fine, but the internal organs and brain may be severely shocked and lead to death."

I ran back and forth a few steps wearing the armor and made some relatively large movements. "It's okay, physical activities are not affected."

The supervisor changed the picture on the screen. I saw a person wearing tight sportswear appearing inside, and the picture also had accompanying sound. "Please follow me." The person in the picture turned his back to the camera, hooked his hands together behind his back, and continued: "You don't have to move to my angle, as long as you can 'touch' each other with your fingers."

Let’s follow it quickly, don’t mention it, it’s really out of reach. Neither Xiao Chun's armor nor Ring Knight Foreb's armor can bend, obviously due to lack of mobility. The researchers behind me measured it for a while and then got a machine to put the armor in and process it on site. The supervisor explained that this machine uses a laser combined with a high-pressure liquid nitrogen gun to cut off the excess parts of the material using changes in heat and cold. Ordinary tools cannot process this thing at all.

Once you have adjusted it, it will be complete immediately, and then you can do some other movements. Anyway, they are the maximum range of movement of the human body. As long as these movements can be done, there will be no problem of inflexible rotation.

It was past 4 o'clock in the morning when all the adjustments were completed. The researchers were all fuming and it was obvious that they were working extremely hard, so we supermen didn't feel anything at all.

Scott waved his weapon a few times and asked: "This sword is so light, is it sharp enough?"

The supervisor waved. A red cube was pushed up. "This is red bakelite. Try placing the sword lightly on it. Don't put it horizontally, but stand it upright. Hold it a little and don't press it down."

Scott placed the tip of his sword on the bakelite and stood the sword vertically on the wood. He gently held it with his hands to prevent it from falling. As a result, the sword was like a soldering iron inserted into an ice brick, and it moved slowly. It sank into the wood, and soon only the handle was left outside in front of our surprised eyes.

Scott took out his sword and looked at it carefully as if he didn't recognize it. "What kind of sword is this?"

The supervisor shows the sword's structure again on the screen. "Actually, your weapons are all the same, whether they are guns, swords, or staffs. The difference is in the shape, but they are actually the same. The material of the sword body is basically the same as the armor on your body. But it is not directly composed of atoms. Instead of being arranged in a wall-to-floor array, they are first arranged into molecular chains, and then the tiny chains composed of these molecules are connected and intertwined to form a sword blade. When you look at this sword, it seems very smooth, but in fact its surface is almost the same as a sack when enlarged. These weapons and Your armors are all living things, and inside the sharp shell is a living organism, which has three major functions."

I immediately said: "The first one must be repaired."

"Yes. But in addition to this, there are two other functions. The first is vibration. This creature will emit high-frequency mechanical pulses to cause the sword to vibrate. Once the rough molecules of the sword touch an object, they will cut the surface of the object like a grinding wheel during the vibration. , the principle is the same as the plasma vibrating blade. But it is more effective and safer. The vibrating blade requires a lot of energy and cannot be used for a long time. More importantly, once it is started, it will radiate a large amount of electromagnetic radiation to expose its position. It has completely lost the advantage of cold weapons for killing enemies silently. The vibration amplitude of this creature is not as good as that of the magnetic blade, but it is faster, so there is no noise after it is started, and because it is a biomechanical vibration that does not emit electromagnetic waves, even the most advanced detectors I can’t find you.”

"What about the last function?"

"The last function is specifically designed to assist your special abilities. The creatures in this can gather a large number of electrons on their surface under your command. For Vina and Chili, the ability to directly emit electrons is equivalent to an increase in In addition to greatly improving the lethality, it also saves your own energy. As for the energy of these weapons, they are replenished by a synthetic biological solution, but you can rest assured that one addition is enough for at least 300 hours of high-intensity combat. Above, if you don't use those special abilities of electric discharge and just use them as cold weapons, you can use them for more than 100,000 hours."

"This is really good stuff."

The supervisor pointed at our arms and said: "There is a stretchable silk thread with a barbed arrow on both sides of your arms. This is designed according to Shenlin's armor in the game, but we have installed it for you all, but this There is no crossbow to fire this time. Your muscles are very strong. After pulling this out, you can throw things out by yourself. It is much stronger than the crossbow. The following wire is the crystallization of Longyuan technology, which we call twisted wire. Although this silk is not much thicker than the cotton thread used to sew clothes, its pulling power is no less than that of a steel cable used to tow a car. If you don't use it to tow a ship, it probably won't break. The inside of the silk is connected to the armor. In the body of a living thing, it will automatically retract, but you need to use your own thoughts to control it. The soft-bodied creatures in your armor and the soft-bodied creatures in your weapons can be directly controlled by your brain waves. The reason why you were asked to take the armor by name in the first place These creatures all correspond to personal brain waves. If they are wrong, they will just be ordinary and relatively hard armor, and many special abilities cannot be used."

"This is great. It also prevents theft."

The supervisor took my helmet over and pulled down the mask to explain to everyone: "This helmet and armor are integrated. It has something like fish gills inside. If you need to dive, it can filter out the oxygen in the water and send it to The helmet discharges carbon dioxide at the same time, which is considered an underwater breathing apparatus. However, in case of emergency, we have also pre-designed an external oxygen channel, and an external oxygen machine can also be used. There is some soft tissue sticking out from under the mask in front. After you pull off the helmet It will act as a seal, and you can control the collection and relaxation of these muscle tissues to adjust the size. If there is poisonous gas, this helmet can provide complete toxin filtration for 25 to 'hours. If it takes longer than that, you will need to inject 'detoxification' The medicine is ready. Although these soft-bodied creatures can decompose toxins, they are also living creatures and cannot survive in highly lethal toxins for a long time."

I nodded: "25 hours is almost enough. We won't be stupid enough to stay in the toxin zone for that long."

"Oh, by the way. I forgot to introduce you to your shoes. Look at the soles of your feet."

I lifted one foot and looked at the bottom of the armor's boot. "Meat pad?"

The supervisor explained with a smile: "The sole of your foot is a 2.5 cm thick cuticle, and there is a layer of muscle tissue inside, and then there is an outer layer of hard shell, and then there is the internal tissue. This sole can protect against landmines, and it makes no noise when walking. .Also, pay attention to the tips of your shoes.”

"Halo, why do you still have claws?"

"This is a non-slip design. It can be stored inside when not in use. When needed, it can be stretched out to help deal with special environments such as walls or steeply sloping mountains."

"It's a good design. I'll look like a cat when I wear it from now on."

The supervisor said: "Actually, this shoe sole also has another advantage, and that is anti-tracking. The human body has temperature, and you can see obvious footprints with an infrared camera on the road you walk on, but this meat pad is a low-temperature cell, and the temperature changes with the environment. Changes, there will be no trace of heat radiation leakage."

A deputy manager next to him said: "As long as you put on this suit of armor, no matter whether it is radar, metal detectors or heat detectors, you will not be able to detect you. As long as you are not directly seen, you will be invisible."
