The next day.
Victor's pioneering robots and magnetic confinement energy core technology caused quite a stir after being reported by foreign media.
However, in the past two months, some big news about black technology has been released every now and then, and most people are no longer surprised by it. The rapid advancement of technology is generally a good thing.
Xia Xu also returned to school life. He had no academic pressure and was mainly engaged in practical research with the Xinghai research team.
"Let's get started. Modify the Giant Spirit God based on the basic template as soon as possible."
Probably inspired by Victor, Zhou Ji, Walker and the others burst out with great energy today, rushing straight to the group laboratory early in the morning.
Their current research direction is naturally powered exoskeletons.
In fact, as early as two months ago, Xia Xu had been communicating with them remotely to promote this matter, and the standard simple exoskeleton to be equipped for the [Tianbing] project had already been designed.
After all, the Sky Soldier Armor is mainly used for defense, survival, and detection, and basically has ready-made technical references. Coupled with the passive exoskeleton structure and simple power structure, it is a piece of cake for Walker and his team.
The Tianbing power armor is about two meters and four meters high. Since it is mass-produced as a standard armor, it is necessary to consider the technical difficulty, processing cost and material cost, so the design is not precise and the overall design is very rough.
The entire armor is driven by the graphene battery designed by Cao Yuan. The limbs are robotic arms driven by motors and hydraulic transmission structures. The surface layer is made of titanium alloy armor mixed with some ceramics and carbon sponge buffer layers.
In addition, the entire armored body is airtight, and is equipped with auxiliary devices such as an air self-circulation system, a constant temperature system, a visual enhancement system, a Bai Ze early warning system, etc., which are sufficient to ensure that it can adapt to a series of harsh environments such as toxins, high and low temperatures.
And then... nothing.
After all, it is a standard armor, which is cheap and affordable, big and black. Its main source of combat power is still to be matched with the modified ones of the [Heavenly Soldier] project. If you want to drive the armor, you must use the mechanical spine.
In fact, at present there is only one prototype of the Tianbing Armor in the Xinghai scientific research team. The drawings have been finalized a few days ago, but if you want to produce it, you still need to wait for Xinghai Industry to build a production line.
"The giant spirit is bigger, so its power system can be further strengthened. It can fly bricks with great force. Quantitative change is qualitative change. But, Lao Cao, can you expand the capacity of your crappy battery pack?"
"I expanded the capacity but you complained it took up too much space! And you complained it looked ugly!"
"Nonsense, being strong is a matter of one version, being handsome is a matter of a lifetime. How can you make our brother Xu's car as stupid, big, black and rough as a heavenly soldier?"
"Hehe, at least we don't have to be as stingy as with standard armor. Other groups can't even envy this kind of freedom without having to consider the cost."
With the experience accumulated from the Tianbing Armor and Graphene Passive Exoskeleton, and inspired by Victor's Pioneer Robot, Xia Xu, Zhou Ji and their colleagues began to design the Giant Spirit Armor.
This is what Xia Xu intends to use for himself, so of course he doesn't need to consider the cost and price-performance ratio, so there is naturally a lot more room for them to play.
With better motors, better transmission systems, more sensitive sensors, and more precise processing, the performance of the Giant Spirit Armor has been comprehensively upgraded based on the Heavenly Soldier Armor.
However, after all the operations, although the performance was indeed improved a lot, Xia Xu was still not very satisfied.
Because the giant spirit armor made in this way is actually just an upgraded version of the heavenly soldier armor, relying on the powerful flying brick effect brought by spending money and large size to create quantitative changes.
It is true that the armor of the giant spirit god with the body of the wolf giant can easily crush the heavenly soldiers, but in fact there is no qualitative change or highlight.
However, if we want to use more advanced and powerful technologies, we have to face the problem of insufficient energy supply.
They don't have Victor's magnetic confinement energy core.
Although the graphene battery developed by Cao Yuan has a capacity five or six times greater than that of batteries on the market at the same volume, it is still not capable of driving advanced weapons and power technologies.
"The weapon system can be put on hold for now, but I hope we can work together to improve our protection. I have graphene combat suits on a daily basis, but if I really have to use this big thing, it will definitely be fatal."
After careful consideration, Xia Xu decided on the new design tone of the giant spirit with a bit of sternness.
It is currently impossible to design an iron suit as black as Iron Man's. Even the Heavenly Soldier Armor is two meters and four meters high. Although the Giant Spirit Armor has not been finalized yet, it will only be larger.
It is obviously impossible to carry a power armor and a wolf giant body of this size with you. It will be a tough battle to mobilize and transport these things. At this time, the first thing to consider is naturally the ability to save life.
Normally, there are already graphene passive exoskeletons, so this set of Giant Spirit Armor must be stronger than the passive exoskeleton, and it must be many times stronger, so that it has value in existence.
As for the increase in strength, there is no need to worry about it. Even if the entire set of armor has no power system at all, it still has the physique of the wolf giant as a guarantee. Moreover, as a humanoid armor, it can hold or carry additional weapons at any time.
"Strengthening defense is something we always talk about when designing passive exoskeletons. We need to optimize the external armor material and the anti-vibration and anti-shock structure. I think the alloy you used to make the thermal blade is good..."
"Don't even think about it. A small piece of this thing costs tens of millions."
"How about depleted uranium armor? But the radiation from that thing is hard to deal with."
"External armor should not be necessary. After all, such a thick high-strength alloy will only cause slight deformation under normal attack, and the probability of tearing through is not high. The main thing is to find a way to resist shock."
"I understand the principle, but earthquake-resistant technology cannot be developed overnight. It's nothing more than changing the implementation scheme, but the effect cannot be qualitatively changed."
Zhang Meng, Lu Dong, Zhou Ji, Walker, Cao Yuan and others started brainstorming again. They proposed one plan after another, but they were soon overturned.
The advancement of science and technology always takes time. In fact, any technological product is the result of resource integration. It is impossible to develop all technologies and build the entire industrial system by ourselves.
As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. It is impossible for them to come up with a protective technology that is ahead of the times at the moment. Naturally, they cannot reach a satisfactory result after discussing it over and over again.
"You said that this thing can rely on constantly gaining acceleration to provide kinetic energy, so conversely, can it weaken the kinetic energy?"
After a heated discussion that yielded no results, Xia Xu's eyes fell on an object on the table in the activity room, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
It was a simple Gaussian acceleration track that Zhou Ji and his friends had made for fun yesterday after being inspired by Victor.
There are actually several principles for electromagnetic guns, but they are essentially the same, which is to accelerate the projectile through the electromagnetic track, so that the projectile continuously accumulates kinetic energy and runs faster and faster.
The one on the table is a Gauss cannon, and its structure is a little special.
It does not accelerate a single projectile, but there is a projectile on each track. The latter one accelerates and hits the previous one. After receiving the kinetic energy of the latter, the previous one continues to accelerate and hit the previous one, so that the kinetic energy is added one by one, and finally the front projectile is launched.
Of course, Walker and his team took into consideration that this is a school, so they did not build a real launch structure. Instead, they designed the acceleration track into a circular shape, which results in the small ball inside moving in a circular motion after being started.
In this circular orbit, these projectiles are accelerated by the orbit, so the kinetic energy is constantly accumulated and they are getting faster and faster. Conversely, if the force applied is to slow down the projectiles, then they will naturally stop gradually.
Isn’t this a process of eliminating impact force
"Boss, that's a good idea, but how should I put it? Your method has a big problem. Putting aside other things, the external attack will not operate in a circular manner according to your wishes. If you want to change the direction of the force, you must apply enough force to pry it..."
