A dazzling array of mechanical parts were piled randomly in the corner of the room. Some of them were related equipment required for rocket launches, and some were sundries moved from a prosthetic leg boutique. Although Kong Jie did not intend to inherit his father's business, these
He still moved the things here.
"The engine of the rocket..." At this moment, Kong Jie was wearing sunglasses, holding a welder in his hand, and was concentrating on playing with the parts on the table.
Looking at the hair that was stuck into clusters due to oil stains, Zhu Tian didn't want to guess how long it had been since he washed his hair.
It's good to be passionate about your career, but...
"Have you completed the task I gave you?" Zhu Tian walked over to a piece of mechanical leg lying horizontally and asked him.
"It's done. It's on the shelf on your right. The instructions are on the second shelf on the bookcase next to you." Kong Jie carefully welded a small chip onto the engine and said without looking back.
"I said, you can't launch a rocket in this weather now, why not do something else?" Zhu Tian took off the weird mechanical stand from the shelf, fiddled with it, and said casually.
"Just wait until the weather clears... Set up an intelligent power control module in the engine, and then install a radio obstacle feedback system on the head of the rocket. Gee, I'm a genius." Kong Jie said.
He was talking to himself, with a very excited expression on his face.
Although Zhu Tian couldn't understand what he was excited about.
"Mechanical exoskeleton, model: A1." A line of small characters was engraved on the side of the metal bar, and Zhu Tian read it out in a low voice.
Turning his attention back to the mechanical stand in his hand, he fumbled for a long time without finding a clue, so he walked to the bookcase, took down the instruction manual, and followed the steps above to put it on.
Light plastic steel metal fits the sides of the limbs, and the spine is covered by overlapping metal strips in a scale-like manner.
To put it simply, this thing is like a metal skeleton. Although it has a full metal texture, it does not feel cumbersome when worn on the body.
After moving his limbs and moving his fingers, Zhu Tian didn't feel that this thing was of any use, and couldn't help showing a confused expression on his face.
Seeing that the boss had already put on his masterpiece, Kong Jie put down what he was doing, clapped his hands and walked over.
"The start button is on the neck, you can press it and try."
Following Kong Jie's instructions, Zhu Tian doubtfully stretched his fingers to the side of his neck, quickly found a button, and then pressed it tentatively.
A faint sound of electricity passed by, and Zhu Tian felt a slight numbness on the back of his neck. The next moment, a shocked expression appeared on his face.
This feeling is very strange, as if these metal bars are part of my body. What drives my body is no longer the bones in the flesh and blood, but the metal bones attached to the outside of the body.
Zhu Tian moved his arms, the shock on his face getting more and more intense.
It's hard to describe this feeling. Specifically speaking, it's like the metal skeleton is your own hand. And the real hand
It's just a prop that he "holds".
"A1 type mechanical exoskeleton, the proud work of the prosthetic leg boutique." Kong Jie showed a proud smile on his face, took a curved plastic plate from the side, and pressed it on the empty space on Zhu Tian's chest.
on the groove.
"The detachable armor and ultra-molecular weight polyethylene bulletproof partition have no problem in defending against ordinary rifle bullets. The exterior is coated with a scattering coating, which also has a certain degree of defense against laser bullets. Of course, I personally do not recommend you to do it.
To test the strength of the armor and deliberately take a few shots.”
As he said that, Kong Jie took several more curved plastic plates and put them on Zhu Tian's chest, abdomen, front of thighs and shoulder blades respectively.
"It's almost done." Kong Jie stood up and clapped his hands, took the tablet from the table next to him with a smile, and connected a data cable to the disk behind Zhu Tian.
Zhu Tian slumped his limbs and watched with interest as his fingers tapped rapidly on the screen. Soon, the numb electric shock sensation in the back of his neck disappeared, replaced by the shock of nerves passing through metal.
This time it was not just the metal that drove the limbs, but both the metal and the limbs were controlled by his brain at the same time.
As he moved his limbs, Zhu Tian's face became more and more surprised.
Looking at the expression on the boss's face, Kong Jie chuckled, quickly stepped aside and made a "please" gesture. He said proudly: "Come and try to punch the sandbag."
Hearing this, Zhu Tian clenched his fist with a thin finger guard and punched it out with all his strength.
boom!
Dust flies.
The violent impact force dented the sandbag, and the hanging chain let out an unbearable scream.
"It's a good fight, let me see...it's more than 1,200 kilograms, not bad." Kong Jie touched his chin and nodded, and professionally debugged the data on the tablet.
Not bad. It exploded, okay?
Zhu Tian stared at his hands in shock and complained in his heart.
With more than a ton of punching power, a normal person's punching power is only about 100 kilograms. He remembered that the current boxing champion Tyson only had more than 400 kilograms.
However, this sandbag was not punched through by a single punch, so I guess the quality is pretty good.
Apart from being surprised by the power, Zhu Tian couldn't help but take another look at the sandbag.
"Try the strength index again." Kong Jie quickly walked to the other end of the room.
Seeing this, Zhu Tian tentatively moved his legs. After finding that there was no obstacle to coordination, he followed suit.
The iron box is the size of a wardrobe, and the protruding part seems to be something like a weightlifter. The white metal shell is flashing with an unknown signal light, and the meters on the side are emitting a faint fluorescent light.
"Put your hands on the handle, and then lift it up with maximum strength." Kong Jie handed something like a weightlifting lever to his hand, and then made a "please" gesture with a smile.
Zhu Tian followed his instructions, put his hands on the barbell, and then lifted it up with force.
"It's perfect!" Looking at the numbers displayed on the instrument, Kong Jie snapped his fingers and said excitedly.
Compared to Kong Jie's excitement, Zhu Tian's mood can simply be described as ecstasy.
With just a few metal frames, people can gain power beyond genetic modification. If every soldier wears one, the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's survivor base will more than double!
If powered armor is the full-body plate armor of heavy cavalry, then mechanical exoskeletons are the chainmail armor of light infantry.
The total weight is only 10 kilograms, and the front polyethylene armor can protect against direct bullets from small-power electromagnetic rifle bullets. If it were a modern rifle, it would leave a small black spot on it at most.
After equipping it, the maximum weight carried by an individual soldier will increase to 500 kilograms.
The power source is two fist-sized energy-concentrated batteries, which are attached above the pelvic bone. After a full charge, it can ensure that the wearer can carry a weight of 500 kilograms at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour for one hour.
Or it can continue to fight for 12 hours in a normal environment. After the power is exhausted, it can be charged through a solar charger or instantaneously charged through an energy crystal.
It can be said that in addition to the aerospace technology that has not yet seen results, another major reason why Zhu Tian recruited Kong Jie was for the mechanical exoskeleton technology of the prosthetic leg boutique. Although he failed to inherit his father's business,
But he still learned some related technologies more or less under the force of his father.
After personally experiencing the power of the A1 mechanical exoskeleton, Zhu Tian immediately raised the question of whether it could be deployed in the army.
"Mass production and installation in the army?"
Kong Jie was stunned when he heard Zhu Tian's inquiry, and then a strange expression appeared on his face: "Do you know the cost and time of producing such a mechanical exoskeleton?"
"How much?" Zhu Tian asked nonchalantly.
"According to the market price at Tianyuan Base, the cost of what you are wearing now is about 900 energy points. With 900 energy points, you can buy a dozen slaves and give them a rifle. And no matter what kind of super soldier they are, it is impossible to fight
I have to win more than a dozen guns." Kong Jie sighed and settled the financial accounts for Zhu Tian.
"However, Tianyuan Base no longer sells people."
After pressing the metal piece on the back of his neck, a slight electric current sounded, and Zhu Tian took off the mechanical exoskeleton worn on his body.
"Tianyuan Base does not sell people, but other places do. For example, Su City, where there is the largest slave market in Suzhou and Hangzhou Province, they will come to Tianyuan Base next spring." Kong Jie tried to convince his boss.
"But we can't wait until next spring." Zhu Tian smiled and stuffed the mechanical exoskeleton into his hand: "Next year when the snow melts, the mutants will march from No. 5 to Liuhe District. As the only ones here, we
The surviving forces that are capable will surely bear the brunt of the pressure from the mutants."
Hearing this, Kong Jie's face instantly turned pale.
