Regarding scientific research issues, Yu Yifeng has never been one to point fingers. Professional issues should be solved by professionals, which is also the employment philosophy he has always believed in.
This batch of power armor is only a test type, and people still have a year and a half to make improvements and corrections.
According to Professor Ding Yidong's idea, they plan to replace the current aluminum-air battery with a more durable radioactive isotope battery. By then, the entire power armor will have a battery life of up to two months!
They also want to add some intelligent operating systems to enhance the individual combat capabilities and safety of the power armor...
Not only power armor, but a variety of other weapons are also under development: including tanks, drones, robots, etc.
Of course, there are also gunpowder weapons, that is, higher-performance rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, heavy machine guns, and secondly, the latest electromagnetic running gun!
Gunpowder weapons are still an indispensable part of conventional weapons. Although they are of little use in space battles, they can still be used on local battlefields on the ground.
They have been used by humans for so many years, have good reliability, are not prone to mechanical failures, and will not be completely eliminated anytime soon.
Moreover, the biggest shortcoming of gunpowder weapons...the problem of too much recoil has been perfectly solved by the emergence of power armor!
It's not that gunpowder weapons can't be made stronger, but the human body simply can't withstand the huge recoil.
Like AWM military sniper rifles, Barrett M82A1, etc., if ordinary people do not undergo rigorous training, the powerful recoil will shatter their shoulder blades with one shot.
But after using power armor, there is no such problem at all.
The huge recoil force is borne by the machine, and people only need to stabilize their bodies during the shooting process. Moreover, the emergence of power armor also brings huge load capacity. A soldier can carry hundreds of thousands of metal bullets.
, no need to consider weight-bearing issues.
The newly developed gunpowder weapons have bullets with higher initial speed and extremely powerful power. They can easily penetrate the armor of Earth's tanks. I think it is enough.
Of course, the electromagnetic gun is not among the gunpowder weapons. The initial speed of its shells reaches 10,000 kilometers per second, and its power is incredible! The huge recoil can directly knock people and power armor away in one fell swoop.
Current human technology cannot solve the huge recoil force of electromagnetic guns, so weapons like electromagnetic guns can only be installed on 50-ton nuclear-powered tanks.
This also makes Zhao Yao and other soldiers very regretful. Unless humans can develop a more powerful Gauss rifle that only sprays proton beams... this kind of weapon will be out of use in the short term!
In addition to these hot weapons, a cold weapon system is also added to the right side of the power armor.
Hot weapons always require ammunition. No matter how much you bring, it will still be limited, but cold weapons can be used without limit.
One of the research directions is high-frequency weapons, which incrementally add high-frequency vibrations of thousands of hertz to materials to obtain powerful cutting capabilities... However, this kind of weapon is not yet mature, has too stringent requirements on materials, and consumes too much energy.
.
People simply installed an electric saw on the left hand side of the power armor, a high-speed rotating electric saw made of Super Alloy Z. The effect is quite good! Cutting metal is like sawing wood.
In this way, time passed day by day, month by month, year by year... Three years, which seemed to be a long time, passed in the blink of an eye.
By September of 0008 in the New Human Calendar, all power armors were debugged and most projects were busy getting ready.
A large number of newly built robots, excavators, drones, spaceships, airships, etc. have been stored in the warehouse, just waiting for the Noah to approach the Knicks. Then Yi Feng gives the order, and the huge team will
Complete the login process quickly.
"With the shipment of a large amount of materials, Noah has left the sub-light speed state two months ago. Driven by small nuclear bombs and ion engines, the current speed has reached 24 kilometers/second. There are about three months left.
With hard work, you can reach the Knicks."
"...X-003 type power armor will be widely equipped to soldiers and landing engineers. Its metal frame weight plus related equipment reaches 60 kilograms, but its rated carrying capacity is more than 300 kilograms."
"...the outer ring track project, which is forty kilometers long and one kilometer wide, is being implemented. The progress of the project has reached 77%. It is like a ring outside Noah. After a while, we will
The test flight of the spacecraft is carried out in the circular orbit."
People watch the daily news broadcast with relish. As the Knicks star gets closer, their hearts become more excited and excited.
This planet is too far away from the star, cold and dark. I don’t know what it is, but it is the first step for humans to leave the solar system!
Human beings are full of fighting spirit!
"The circular orbit can be completed immediately, using a high magnetic acceleration and deceleration scheme. It's amazing! It seems that aerospace engineering and war are the biggest catalysts for the progress of human civilization."
Yu Yifeng looked at the data on the report and sighed slightly.
The development in the past few years has been too fast. With the continuous large-scale projects, the entire scientific system has a sense of rapid progress.
It can even be said...their current mechanized army can easily crush any country on the planet!
Whether it's a nuclear bomb or a war machine!
The number of nuclear bombs alone is equivalent to that of all the previous countries in the world combined. Talking about helium-3 nuclear bombs with a yield of one billion tons and tetrahydrogen nuclear bombs with a trillion-ton level would scare the President of the United States to death...
In fact, this is the fact that war can accelerate the development of science and technology...
The first tank was invented by the British during World War I.
The first artificial satellite was invented by the Soviets in 1957 during the Cold War.
The first computer was also born during the Cold War, and was used by the U.S. Department of Defense for missile calculations.
Precisely because of the implementation of the moon landing program during the Cold War, the United States has always been a world leader in rocket technology, weapons research, materials science, medicine, bioengineering, computers and many other fields.
How is the current state of mankind different from war?
Yuriko, who was sitting opposite, shook her head and said: "In the final analysis, it is not war or aerospace, but the pressure of survival that brings scientific progress. Whether it is the Cold War or now, human beings are still too lazy and have no pressure to survive.
The motivation for progress is much smaller. Today's human beings are in a state of crisis for a long time and are under great pressure to survive. They can only use every bit of strength and wisdom in their bodies."
"But human beings always like to do trivial things in peacetime. It is difficult to invent epoch-making things like computers and satellites? Maybe it is because there has been no war for a long time that our technology has slowly stagnated?"
"Just like carving, no matter how good the carving is, what's the use? Just like singing, no matter how good the singing is, what's the use? As far as scientific development is concerned, those who invent carving technology or invent singing are the real pioneers. What follows
People are just following the path of their predecessors and repeating it. No matter how good the carving is or how good the singing is, it is impossible to surpass the pioneers in a sense."
"Perhaps this is the difficulty in becoming an interstellar civilization... Is it too comfortable?"
Yu Yifeng also sighed: "You can become a philosopher...but it makes sense. For scientific research, developing a new method or new idea is far more influential than applying the method to the extreme.
.”
"Just like our current situation, when faced with desperate situations, unimaginable power can often burst out, and all kinds of fantastic ideas emerge in an endless stream. That's why we have the saying that fragile human beings have unimaginable vitality..."
"Unfortunately, this kind of explosive power is difficult to sustain. Once there is no pressure to survive, the explosion will be over. Unless we can improve the way of thinking of the entire civilization..."
Yu Yifeng thought with reverie.
The universe is so big, there must be such a race that can explode infinitely and continue to advance in technology. It is really hard to imagine how powerful they are...
It would be great if new human civilization could continue to explode!
