Chapter 404 Defective Exoskeleton
"Well, in schools in the Far East, the subjects taught are very comprehensive."
Ji Lin took the grenade handed to him by the other party, untied the strap and carried it on his back.
Tighten the straps to secure the grenade to your back.
Very light and very thin.
It is even lighter than a long sword in the hand.
This is also related to the fact that the mortar does not produce particularly high bore pressure. Its special firing mode prevents it from producing a large bore pressure, but it must also be paid at the expense of range.
2"/50mm ultralight mortar, range: 200, weapon power: 110.
Holding the rifle in his hand, Ji Lin now looks more like a soldier fighting on the front line than before.
"I think so. Judging from your appearance, you are from the East."
Nicholas nodded, lowered his body and moved the disassembled gear machine to the workbench.
This small room contains a working machine tool that belongs exclusively to him. A large number of personally customized runes are used to enhance the accuracy of the machine tool to ensure that the accuracy of the machine tool is far better than that of ordinary industrial machine tools.
"Are you interested in testing new equipment with me? It's harder to get other night crows to cooperate with me in testing than to kill them."
Ji Lin nodded. He was more curious about what the system prompted him to see in the equipment library that could interest him.
Gears, steam engines, runes.
What else could attract him.
"Don't worry, I've been thinking that those machines can move in this way, so humans should be able to support themselves through similar mechanical methods - you think, as long as humans wear steel armor like steam engines, it can be used There will be more weapons.”
Nicholas smacked his lips, inserted his hands into the console of the machine tool to adjust the rotation of the mechanical axle, and started cutting the gear machine while installing new long metal parts.
Welded, integrated.
An exoskeleton device slightly larger than the thickness of the arm was formed in the machine tool. The iron-gray color shone with little oil stains. The gears were slowly rotating, and the five-finger frame was very thoughtfully made.
"I think we should be able to borrow it for mechanical use, although the design refers to part of the rune armor..."
He picked up the exoskeleton with only one arm and threw it to Ji Lin.
Ji Lin saw the appearance of the gear machine after it was dismantled and reassembled. The passive power glove...but it was not really passive. At least runic technology was used to reduce its weight. Maybe it was Provide other sources of power.
How interesting.
The source of essence infiltrates and takes over the original rune array. The function of these runes is to make it lighter, harder, and more flexible.
But in the end, Ji Lin's arm muscles still need to pull the gloves to move.
Stretch and contract the five fingers to achieve good flexibility.
"Have you not considered equipping it with an external energy source? For example, a steam engine or something?"
Ji Lin recalled what an exoskeleton should be equipped with, and a power source must be one of them.
"Steam engines have their own limitations. I can't find a suitable power source for such a small machine."
The engineer wiped his hands with a blackened towel and kicked out the wooden box next to the workbench.
The box was filled with various broken shafts, bearings that were too slender to bear the force of the fast-rotating and sensitive individual soldier exoskeleton, and cylinders that could not withstand the pressure inside the boiler.
"The rotating shaft and hydraulic components of the steam engine were used on it. It was extremely fragile and had problems with speed limit... However, after I gave up introducing external power sources, the design of this thing became simpler, like a simplified version of armor. "
Lighter and better protective.
Ji Lin stretched out his hands and put them together, feeling the exoskeleton move with his movements.
The slender chrome-plated skeleton is pulled to rotate, and the pinions in it are used to adjust the overall posture of the exoskeleton arm to ensure that every ounce of power is used where it should be.
Without the obstruction of vision, Ji Lin could clearly see the rotation of every gear inside, as if watching his arm muscles contract.
It's amazing.
"You are very capable, but why are you here?"
He controlled the exoskeleton in his hand and waved it, and it did not affect his normal operation and use of infantry weapons at all, and he sincerely admired it.
New London should have a dedicated engineering academy.
Ji Lin also read in the newspaper that the Academy of Engineering was going to put a new super-large differential engine into operation.
"Oh, actually this place is quite good - it has ample funds and never skimps on it. I quite like this damn place."
The funding is dozens of times more than when I worked in the Industrial Academy, and I don’t have to face those annoying colleagues... Of course, the Engineering Academy is also much better than the damn environment in the New World.
It's just that here we have to face these extremely mentally unstable guys every day.
Nicholas shrugged and pointed at the extremely rough exoskeleton frame on Ji Lin's hand.
"But you can take a guess at how much the reasonably usable gadget you have on hand cost you."
Ji Lin blinked. He didn't know the price of goods in this world, but he still quoted a number that he thought was quite high.
"Three hundred pounds?"
The engineer raised his eyebrows, grabbed the black and white cup placed next to the workbench with his black and oily hands, and took a sip of water.
"The thing you have in hand already costs over a thousand pounds including the materials, not counting the hours of work I put into it."
A master runesmith's precious time.
Okay, the trial period is over, and we should start testing.
For example, this thing is valuable to you humans who are stronger than ordinary humans, enhancing gripping ability and attack and defense capabilities.
Nicholas took out a pen and asked Ji Lin to cooperate with him to use this exoskeleton glove for testing.
And not every night crow can endure such a long test. Over time, he has not found anyone to accompany him to test various newly developed equipment.
"Team leader of group 13?"
A night crow knocked on the door of the workshop and his eyes fell on the two people who were talking in the room.
"There is a letter for you."
