Half a minute later, Ye Han's body data was collected, and Qu Jiang finally knocked on the glass cabin: "Okay, you can come out."
Ye Han quickly put down his arms, jumped out of the glass hatch and said, "Can I get dressed?"
"Okay." Qu Jiang nodded.
Ye Han asked while getting dressed: "Is there anything else that needs to be checked?"
"No more for now." Qu Jiang said, "You are in good physical condition."
Ye Han rolled his eyes: "Thank you for the compliment!"
As soon as he put the clothes on and before he could button them up, Ye Han suddenly heard the researcher say: "Assistant Qu, the 3D modeling is completed!"
"Printing lining!" Qu Jiang said.
Ye Han glanced at Qu Jiang in confusion. He knew the printing and the lining, but how could these two words be used together?
Qu Jiang easily guessed Ye Han's question, smiled and said: "3D printing."
Ye Han suddenly realized it and vaguely remembered reading a piece of news somewhere. The main idea was that 3D laser printing technology could be used in China to manufacture complex parts on aircraft. Its mechanical strength and fatigue resistance are better than those made by traditional processing techniques.
Much stronger.
Unexpectedly, the military used this technology in the manufacture of power armor.
Ye Han didn't know much about industrial manufacturing, but he knew some industrial manufacturing methods. If he wanted to make armor with a suitable shape, he would probably use several methods such as stamping, casting, and CNC machine tool processing.
Each method has some shortcomings, such as insufficient mechanical strength, excessive aging, serious material waste, etc.
The use of 3D laser printing technology can not only save time and materials, but also significantly increase the mechanical strength of the finished product. For power armor that needs to be used on the battlefield, 3D printing technology has an advantage over traditional processing methods in every aspect.
.
After understanding the meaning of printing the lining, Ye Han immediately drew inferences: "Is this lining based on my body shape?"
"That's right." Qu Jiang pushed up his glasses, "Not only the inner lining, but also the outer armor is tailor-made. From today on, you must pay attention to your diet. It won't be a big problem if you lose weight, but you will definitely not be able to wear the power armor if you get fat."
Ye Han curled his lips disdainfully: "Who are you kidding? The equipment is all ready-made, and the inner lining and outer armor are custom-made. How expensive can an alloy shell be?"
Qu Jiang said calmly: "The titanium alloy armor itself is indeed not expensive, but do you know how much a military-grade high-precision 3D laser printer is worth? Do you know how many departments are queuing up for this set of equipment? Do you know how much space it takes to print armor?
How much cutting-edge military equipment can be produced during this period of time?"
Ye Han looked irrelevant: "Does this have anything to do with me?"
"Why doesn't it matter? This is equipment tailor-made for you!" Qu Jiang emphasized the word custom-made.
"Don't make trouble, are you confusing me with the concept? You think we soldiers are brainless, don't you?" Ye Han chuckled, "No matter how expensive this thing is, the ownership still belongs to the state. I am just employed by the state, and the state
You pay me to fight the enemy, but why don’t you give me the equipment?”
Qu Jiang was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while, and nodded thoughtfully: "What you said seems reasonable...but why do I feel that something is wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Ye Han asked back, "Everything is right. It's your fault. Otherwise, why would the country pay us soldiers wages instead of letting us soldiers pay money to the country?"
"No, I've confused you!" Qu Jiang rubbed his forehead vigorously, "I just wanted to tell you that this set of equipment is tailor-made, and it will have to be redone if someone replaces it. You must understand this, understand?"
"You don't have to say that!" Ye Han grinned helplessly, "Weapons are the second life of a soldier. Who among the soldiers doesn't understand?"
"It's good that you know." Qu Jiang sighed, always feeling like he was being fooled.
He originally wanted to use a warning to let Ye Han know how expensive power armor was, but because Ye Han was so disturbed, he could only say it bluntly, completely losing the meaning of the warning.
Ye Han glanced around and asked curiously: "Where is the printer? Can I see how to print it?"
"What are you looking at!" Qu Jiang glared at Ye Han angrily, "That is a military-grade high-precision 3D printer. It must be printed in a dust-free working chamber filled with protective gas. Do you still want to get in and see what's going on?
I can’t hold you back to death!”
"If you don't want to watch it, don't watch it. What's the big deal." Ye Han concealed the disappointment in his eyes, "Hey, I heard that the battery of this thing can only last twenty minutes, right?"
"It runs at full power for twenty minutes, not just twenty minutes!" Qu Jiang corrected, "If you turn off some electronic devices, the use time can be extended one to two times."
"What about?" Ye Han asked curiously.
"For example, the individual soldier exploration radar is a large power consumer. Turning off the individual soldier radar can save 30% of the power consumption." Qu Jiang said, "It can at least allow the armor to move for an additional quarter of an hour."
Ye Han nodded clearly, and then asked doubtfully: "How can such a big battery pack be used for such a short time?"
"That's an equipment bag, not a battery bag!" Qu Jiang corrected again, "Two-thirds of the space in the bag is for various devices, and only one-third is for a battery. Of course, you can also bring three batteries.
Extend the use time of the armor. However, the current battery weight, battery capacity and armor use time are already at the optimal ratio. Bringing two more batteries will not solve the problem. On the contrary, it will increase the power loss due to the increase in load."
"That's better than being able to move for only twenty minutes!" Ye Han said, "Have you not thought of a way to solve the problem of short battery life?"
"Battery is the best solution." Qu Jiang said, "The battery we use is very safe. It can be burned, squeezed, punctured, or baked without any problems. Moreover, it uses a multi-cell solution. Even if the battery pack is penetrated by a bullet, it will not be damaged during use.
Time doesn’t have much impact either.”
"So strong?" Ye Han couldn't help but think of the explosions of several famous mobile phone brands. The reason why mobile phones exploded was all because of the battery.
"If you like to carry a time bomb on your back on the battlefield, I can help you extend the full power endurance of the power armor to two hours." Qu Jiang said.
"Thank you, let's forget it." Ye Han thanked Bu Min.
"Don't think that two hours is a long time. I also have a micro internal combustion engine power pack here. It can be used continuously for eight to twelve hours after being filled with fuel. However, once it is hit by a bullet or shrapnel..." Qu Jiang shrugged at this point.
Shrugging, "You should be able to imagine the consequences."
Ye Han twitched his lips: "This is the first time I've heard that power armor can also use an internal combustion engine!"
"To put it bluntly, power armor is armor with hydraulic assistance. It is essentially the same as the armor used by the ancients. Excavator loaders can be powered by internal combustion engines, so why can't power armor?"
