In the minds of most people, arms are much more important than fingers, so they instinctively feel that it is much more difficult to reattach an amputated arm than to reattach fingers.
However, the bone nerves and blood vessels of the arm are much larger than those of the fingers. In fact, the difficulty of replanting a severed arm is much less than that of replanting a severed finger.
The situation of the manipulator is similar. There is no difficulty at all in the hydraulic devices of the knee and elbow joints. However, if more than a dozen micro-hydraulic devices are installed in a place as big as the palm of your hand, and matching sensors must be installed, even a layman like Ye Han can imagine it.
of difficulty.
"No wonder power armor must be tailor-made." Ye Han stretched out his right hand and clenched it again, saying with emotion.
Everyone's reaction speed and movement habits are different. Making the sensor match the operator's movement habits is the key to exerting combat effectiveness.
Of course, tailor-made armor is also very important. Although the overall characteristics of human beings are very similar, there are many differences in each person. From height and weight to finger length, they all have different characteristics.
It is simply impossible to generalize using unified standards.
"You just know!" Qu Jiang glared at Ye Han, turned around and took a box filled with dark green small parts from his colleague, "Master Xue, please."
"That's right." Master Xue took the box and waved to Ye Han, "This way!"
Ye Han was placed on a chair aside by Master Xue, and placed his right hand on Master Xue's workbench. Master Xue put on his glasses, turned on a very powerful light, and picked out a piece of paper from the box that was no bigger than a fingernail.
The metal piece was carefully stuck on the back of Ye Han's hand.
Ye Han didn't dare to disturb Master Xue's work, raised his head and asked in a low voice: "Old Qu, is this thing so thin, is it bulletproof?"
The thickest part of the metal sheet is only about three millimeters, and the thinnest part is less than one millimeter thick. No matter how high the mechanical strength of the titanium alloy is, it is impossible to block bullets with such a thin metal sheet, right?
"Don't worry!" Qu Jiang gave Ye Han a confident look, "The hydraulic device and the micro motor are also made of titanium alloy. Blocking bullets is not a problem, but it will definitely deform after being hit by a bullet, so this thing can only protect against shrapnel.
You can't count on being invulnerable."
"No, it's better to change to bullet-proof gloves made of new materials!" Ye Han shouted dissatisfied.
"Bullshit!" Qu Jiang scolded, "The hydraulic device on the gauntlets is not good-looking. With the support of these devices, no matter what movement your hands make, the hydraulic device can help you effectively fix your posture..."
"Can you put it in simpler terms?" Ye Han looked confused.
Several busy female researchers nearby burst out laughing, and Qu Jiang's face darkened: "The gloves are soft, but the gauntlets are hard. Wearing the gauntlets can lift half a ton of objects. Wearing gloves, you don't want your arms anymore."
no?"
Ye Han suddenly realized: "Don't I understand what you said? When dealing with a lowly person like me, don't talk about how to be happy."
Even Master Xue smiled at this, and the parts in his hand shook and fell onto the workbench.
"Okay, shut your mouth and don't disturb Master Xue's work." Qu Jiang quickly found a step for himself.
Master Xue glanced at Qu Jiang without saying anything. He picked up the fallen armor piece and put it neatly on the back of his hand.
No one paid attention to Ye Han, he could only focus on Master Xue's work.
Master Xue is worthy of being a senior technician, and the installation movements were quick and accurate. However, within a short time, the exposed "viscera" of the manipulator had been covered by armor pieces of various shapes.
With the largest piece of nail stuck on the back of his hand, Master Xue picked up the oil can, touched each joint of the nail in turn, took off his glasses and let out a sigh of relief: "Okay, let's try it."
The silver-white robotic hand had now turned into a dark green robotic hand with a particularly thick back. Ye Han raised his hand and found that the weight of the robotic hand had more than doubled. He tried to clench his fist and felt as if he was wearing a
I only have cotton gloves, and the nails between my fingers cannot be closed together. It feels like my palms are full of mud or dough.
After stretching his palm a few times, opening and closing his fingers several times, and carefully feeling the touch between his fingers, Ye Han grinned and said, "It's a bit astringent. Let's increase the sensitivity."
"No need." Qu Jiang shook his head and objected, "The gauntlet has just been assembled and needs to be worn in for a while."
Ye Han was stunned: "This also needs to be worn in? Isn't it printed? It should fit perfectly, right?" There is almost no gap between the sheath on the finger joints and the finger cot. Every time the finger flexes and extends, you can feel the nail.
Precise fit between pieces.
"Of course it's a perfect fit." Qu Jiang said, "I can guarantee you that if you take off your fingernails and put them in water, not a drop of water will leak in. However, no matter how precise it is, there will be errors. Not only the nail plates need to be worn in, but also the human body.
It also takes time to get used to the armor, you understand?”
"Why don't you just ask me to familiarize myself with the equipment?" Ye Han changed his way of understanding.
"That's okay." Qu Jiang pushed up his glasses, "Normally, such high-precision processing parts must be assembled in a dust-free environment, but considering that power armor must be used on battlefields with harsh environments, is it suitable for use in dust-free environments?
It doesn’t matter if it’s assembled in a dusty environment.”
Ye Han chuckled: "Do we still need to conduct reliability experiments, such as dust, water and drops?"
"It has been completed a long time ago. As long as it is waterproof and sealed, it can be used normally even under water." Qu Jiang said.
"Does it still need to be sealed?" Ye Han shook his arm, "Isn't it water-proof?"
Qu Jiang explained: "The armor does not allow water to enter, but the joint between the battery pack and the armor is a movable part and must be waterproofed to ensure that water does not enter. This is one of the reasons why the armor cannot carry backup batteries."
"Uh, is there any other reason?"
"Yes, you tried it just now. Once the battery is used up, the armor cannot move at all. Therefore, the power armor cannot replace its own battery. If it is a group dispatch, you can consider arranging a person to bring a spare battery."
"However, using power armor with traditional tactics is a waste of power armor performance. According to current test data, the combat effectiveness of each power armor is equivalent to an infantry squad. A power armor combat group of two to three people is most suitable for the battlefield.
, even if there are people with spare batteries, they can’t take care of so many people.”
"Also, power armor is still a new thing at present. This thing cannot be used on the frontal battlefield in a short time. It can only play a role in special operations. Although I don't understand special operations, as far as I know, the characteristics of special operations
It's precise, rapid, and suddenly a quick decision. There's no reason why a special operation involving powered armor shouldn't be over in twenty minutes, what do you think?"
