Chapter 176 Exoskeleton Armor(1/2)
Fan Mang stared at the news on TV blankly. France, a black monster like an octopus. Isn’t this the edge of tomorrow?
But thinking about it, this kind of monster doesn't seem to be too strong, but it's also very difficult, that is, this kind of monster will burrow and suddenly emerge from the ground to attack, and there are many, so it's hard to defend against.
The most terrifying thing is the mother of this group of monsters. That guy has very strong abilities.
"Let's go, go to the airport first." Fan Mang turned off the TV, took Lin Yue to check out, and took a bus to the airport.
After leaving Shuangliu Airport, there was a car waiting here and took them to a small county town in Tianfu.
"General Fan, Researcher Lin, this is your dormitory. It's not as small as the Hong Kong base. The place is a bit small. Don't mind, the new villa area is still under construction and it will take some time to move in."
"It's okay, it's just a place to live, it's enough." Fan Mang looked at the room. Two bedrooms and one living room, although it was not big, it was enough to live.
"Just don't bother with it." A familiar voice came in from the door.
Fan Mang turned his head and saw Sun Zhengguo walking in with a smile on his face, with Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin next to him.
"Uncle Sun, mom and dad, you are here." Lin Yue ran over and threw herself into her mother's arms.
"General Sun, Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin." Fan Mang nodded and greeted.
Sun Zhengguo waved his hand, and the soldier who had picked up Fan Mang went out to take the door, and everyone sat on the sofa.
"Xiao Fan, how are you doing this month's rest?" Aunt Lin had a kind smile on her face. Since she learned about the FL Fund, she has become even more satisfied with this prospective son-in-law.
At a young age, he is just like Lao Lin, and he will not be able to surpass him easily in the future. Besides, he is very good at appearance, ability, character, etc., and he is still an orphan. When his daughter gets married, she is like picking up a son for nothing!
"It's pretty good. Auntie, this is the skin care product I brought for you. Uncle Lin, this box of tea is for you. General Sun, this cigar is for you."
Fan Mang took out the gifts he brought from his bag and distributed them to everyone. Sun Zhengguo has arrived. I remember that the commander-in-chief of the Hong Kong base was changed a few days ago. Lao Sun has not had a day off.
Everyone sat down and chatted. Aunt Lin and Lin Yue were in full swing, and the chat was quite pleasant. But five minutes later, Uncle Lin glanced at his lover.
Aunt Lin stood up: "Yueyue, go, go to my mother's side to help cook, let them chat first."
After hearing the sound of closing the door, Sun Zhengguo took out a tablet from his bag and asked while operating it: "I don't know if you read the news before you boarded the plane. Something happened in France."
In the video on the tablet, monsters are raging in several cities in France. Ordinary pistols are difficult to cause damage, but they are lucky enough to hit the head and kill them.
However, more people were still killed by monsters, and the population of many cities was evacuating. Britain, Germany and other countries announced that they would send troops to support them soon.
Because once the monsters cannot be blocked into France, it will spread to their countries. Not only those two countries, but many European countries have announced their support, and countries such as Asia, America, Africa and other countries have also announced that they will send troops to solve those monsters.
"We also suspect that the monster above is an alien creature, and it is suspected to have been brought over to the meteorite that fell to France. Now it seems that the monster only appears in France."
"The French call this monster Alpha (a), which means unknown creatures."
"The individual strength of this monster is not too strong, but it is not realistic to use giant mechas to eliminate them, because they can drill into the ground and cannot allow mechas to plough the ground, and then many cities in France will be ruined."
"Our country has also decided to send troops to support, and it may be necessary to join the joint force at present, and the commander-in-chief of the joint force may be the British because the coalition base has been chosen in Britain."
"However, the superiors are discussing that each support force will support some areas and advance towards the center together, so it may be divided into several joint forces."
"If it is the latter, then I will apply to take charge. The weapon we are studying to deal with this monster is exoskeleton armor, which is further reduced and improved through small mechas. It uses new high-energy battery power to enable every soldier to become a machine gun battery, and there are weapons such as rotating knives or chain swords that can kill monsters."
"France requires us not to use missiles and other powerful weapons. We cannot destroy their country in order to destroy monsters. Even if all the monsters are gathered together, we cannot use nuclear bombs, but bombard them with multiple intercontinental missiles."
"So there are many restrictions on exoskeleton armor. Fortunately, we have made mechas before and are very experienced. If you modify them a little, you will soon be able to generate energy."
"The right arm is equipped with a chain sword or a rotating knife, and the left arm is equipped with a machine gun similar to Gatling. It does not require a nerve connection, just manually operate it."
"The answer has been given to France. There is no polluting toxin in the blood of the monster that is difficult to remove, so I can kill it with confidence. It's just that they hope that the coalition forces can help as soon as possible and relieve the predicament as soon as possible."
"It is expected that in a week, our vanguard will set off and within a month, we will ensure that the exoskeleton armor will begin to be assembled on a large scale. This time, the French head called out and hoped that you would go too, and I will refuse for you."
The control of the mecha is different from that of the exoskeleton armor, and Fan Mang is very important, so the superiors do not want Fan Mang to take risks.

【Task: Destroy Omega, the leader of alien monster]
Sure enough, it wouldn't be possible if he didn't go.
"General Sun, since you told me, you also want to ask for my opinion, right? I want to go, and I can guarantee that all the monsters will be solved faster and that France will suffer the smallest losses."
"I think in this way, the relationship between France and our country will be closer and in line with the interests of our country. Once the monsters spread and spread throughout Europe, it will spread to Asia and our country."
"Do you know how this monster reproducts? Do you know if the monster will evolve? Don't forget that when we faced monsters on alien planets, it was the initial hesitation that made more monsters appear, and the monsters also evolved."
"If you want to ensure my safety, then the giant mecha cannot be dispatched. Can a small mecha be? Give me a small mecha, which is enough for me to deal with monsters. And don't forget that my physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people. Even without exoskeleton armor, I can still beat monsters."
Lin Zhendong looked at Sun Zhengguo and said, "What did I say? This kid will definitely go when he knows it."
"Fan Mang, have you considered it clearly? This is an unknown monster. We have very little research on monsters at present, but we have found that monsters are not only good at hiding, but it seems to have tactics. You can easily kill monsters on the front, but what if there are many? What if the monster suddenly appears from under your feet?"
"If you insist on going, it's impossible for now. We need to upgrade the small mecha before we can allow you to lead the team."
"The small mecha weighs a lot, and it is difficult for our Guo family to transport aircraft. We will use cruise ships to transport them, and we also need to contact other ppdc member states to jointly send a small mecha team. We will win the position of captain for you, and I believe no one will object."
"At present, it seems that there are not many such alpha monsters, and they are not too strong. Britain and Germany have sent support. We can wait a little and produce a batch of exoskeleton armor to support them first."
...
"You have only been resting for a month and are about to go to the battlefield again?" Lin Yue leaned in Fan Mang's arms, looking unhappy.
"There is no way, who lets alien monsters come with meteorites? And I am the hero in the minds of people around the world. You don't know how many people @ me on my Weibo, and they all hope that I will destroy the monsters."
When you meet a monster, the first thing that comes to mind is Fan Mang, because Fan Mang is never defeated.
"Then you must be careful. What is the name of that monster? Alpha, yes, it's Alpha. You can't be careless when you look like a big octopus." Lin Yue believed in Fan Mang's ability more than anyone else.
"I'll be careful. Tonight, we'll eat takoyaki. You're now being arranged to study the power system of exoskeleton armor. Is there any progress?"
Lin Yue arched Fan Mang twice and changed into a more comfortable position: "In fact, the power system has been developed long ago. When the mecha was produced, my father and others had designed this kind of exoskeleton armor."
"It is not something that can be achieved overnight if you want to improve. However, the power system of the small mecha has been improved a lot, but it will take a long time to get nuclear powered."
"It will take some time to upgrade the small mecha. Before this upgrade, you can't go. The defense of the exoskeleton armor is too far behind."
Exoskeleton armor is like a mechanical device, controlled by both hands. Although it is simple to control and does not require neural connections, because it is powered by batteries, it is destined to be too heavy and thick armor cannot be installed.
The alien monster Alpha is also very powerful and fast. Even an armored vehicle can be overturned. Soldiers equipped with exoskeleton armor can only attack desperately instead of defense, which is to fill in their lives.
In Lin Yue's eyes, exoskeleton armor is a design that should be abandoned, and does not consider the safety of soldiers at all. But now, in order to deal with Alpha, we can only use this, and countries are really unable to create too many small mechas to participate in the war.
Lin Yue belittled the exoskeleton armor for no reason, but Fan Mang was a little interested in it.
The next day, he went to the equipment research and development department and watched the exoskeleton armor they produced.
"General Fan." Director Liu from the R&D department welcomed him.
Fan Mang nodded: "Director Liu, this is the exoskeleton armor. Can I try it?"
"Of course. This control is very simple. There is a control board here, including power system control, wear and shed control, weapon control, battery level prompt, communication positioning, etc.."
"We designed two weapons with the right hand, one is a rotating knife and the other is a chain sword, both of which have sufficient lethality to the alpha. And they are made of special alloys, and even if hundreds of alphas are killed, they will not become dull."
"The left hand is a Gatlin-like machine gun, which can be loaded with 300 bullets, and can carry magazines outside the armor, which is enough to ensure effective killing of the Alpha."
"In order to ensure the long-lasting use of the power system, we gave up the armor on the chest, but had enough protection on the back, which also facilitates the wear of exoskeleton armor."
"As long as you stand here, you can wear it. Press this button and you can automatically fasten it. This is a weapon cut-off. You can test it here. Will General Fan play it?"
Director Liu waved his hand, and the others stepped back and watched Fan Mang wear exoskeleton armor.
The exoskeleton armor less than three meters was not complicated to wear, and Fan Mang didn't even wear a helmet. Press the weapon to protect it, and Gatlin in his left hand turned wildly.
Twist twist twist twist twist twist twist twist
The bricks and stones in the front test wall splashed, and one wall was easily crushed into gravel. The rotating knife in the right hand waved to cut off the other wall.
After only one minute of experimenting, Fan Mang came down.
"General Fan, do you have any comments and suggestions?"
"Director Liu, I'll just say it. This exoskeleton armor is a bit bulky, especially when turning, the speed is a bit slow. Alpha's tentacles are very long. If they pounce from behind, the soldiers will not be able to attack, and they will be trapped in the exoskeleton armor and die."
"So it is necessary to increase flexibility, including steering, arms, etc., and increase the power of the legs. Although ordinary people will not be too tired when wearing this, it is equivalent to carrying a weight of 10kg, which affects combat effectiveness."
"The helmet on the head can be made to make some improvements, directly solidify on the exoskeleton armor, add satellite radar maps, add biological detectors, and enhance protection capabilities."
"How is the battery power? How long can it last? What is the shock absorption effect? Is the ability to resist impacts tested?"
Director Liu looked bitter: "General Fan, do you think we are shoddy and ignore the lives of soldiers? We are not only supporting France, but also using our own soldiers. And my son is also on the list of support troops. How could I not care about it?"
"It is to enhance defense, so that it will not be broken by Alpha, and it will also enhance defense in the back, limbs and other places. Our special metals are used to make mechs, and now it also includes aviation and navigation. It is difficult to have more special materials to make this exoskeleton armor."
"We also want to increase flexibility. Exoskeleton armor that can be made of ordinary materials. To ensure flexibility, the firmness will be reduced, and the protection will be reduced, which will be even more dangerous for soldiers."
"In terms of self-weight, we are working hard to reduce, increase mechanical leverage, and reduce the weight of this to below 5kg. In theory, the current materials cannot be achieved at all."
"This rotating knife can attack the back, just lift your arms. Although the accuracy cannot be guaranteed, it is still okay to let the alpha come down."
"In terms of battery power, we cannot design a larger battery, but we can carry a spare one outside, but if it is severely damaged, it may explode. The shock absorption effect is not bad. Soldiers jump from a high place in their clothes, and there will be no greater pressure. They can also buffer and protect the soldiers' bones."
"We are also considering these two. The satellite radar map is fine. The original version was headphone communication command. The positioning is calibrated through computer calibration. Ai constantly prompts you to move forward and can also prevent deserters."
"But we have developed a biological detector that can detect alpha monsters, but it is too big and it is not realistic to be equipped on exoskeleton armor at present. We can try to equip it on small mechas."
Director Liu sat in the chair, and many people were not satisfied with his research results. That was because with the giant mecha, everyone had higher requirements for this type of product.
However, due to restrictions on materials and costs, he can only make this. If he is willing to give him mecha materials, he will guarantee that he can make better ones. The problem is that the boss will not give it to him.
Does he want to create something better and make his son safer?
