. In the Robot plan, there are already several almost perfect designs for the shape of the metal exoskeleton. But even if the shape of the metal exoskeleton is solved, the key is how to design the driving method of the metal exoskeleton, which has become a big problem.
problem!
In the field of metal exoskeletons, there are currently two power drive methods.
The first is the pneumatic method, which uses gas pressure to drive the movement of various mechanical components. The pneumatic solution has some advantages, such as lower body weight and more flexible power output. However, the pneumatic solution also has weaknesses, the most serious of which
The weakness is the problem of pneumatic pressure. The volume of gas can be highly compressed, which is a considerable disadvantage.
The second drive solution is hydraulic drive. Currently, the hydraulic method is the mainstream and is the main research solution for various research on metal exoskeleton mechanisms, and it already has relatively mature technology.
After solving the driving plan, we are faced with a new problem, that is, the energy reserve problem!
Due to its shape limitations, metal exoskeletons cannot carry a large amount of energy like aircraft and armored tanks.
The humanoid shape and structure are destined to carry only a small amount of energy. This is true whether it is electrical energy or chemical energy.
Regarding energy issues, the Robot plan gives three energy options. The first is a chemical energy composed of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The calorific value of hydrogen is three times that of gasoline. That is, the same quality of hydrogen produces
The energy is three times that of gasoline. However, liquid hydrogen also has a weakness, that is, the density of liquid hydrogen is too low, only 70.8KG/m3.
The second energy solution is high-performance lithium batteries. This solution is better than simplicity. However, due to the limitations of lithium battery materials and technical problems in the process, there will be even less energy storage. In short, that is
Combat time will be quite sparse.
The third option is the most common, which is the most basic energy solution, using aviation-grade gasoline as the energy source. Although the calorific value of aviation-grade gasoline is not high, the density of aviation-grade gasoline reaches 750KG/m3. Under the same volume, aviation-grade gasoline
The mass of gasoline is 10.6 times that of liquid hydrogen!
Under such a huge mass gap, even if the calorific value of liquid hydrogen is three times that of gasoline, it cannot be compared with the total calorific value of gasoline. The calorific value of aviation-grade gasoline has reached 48,000,000 joules/kg, and one kilowatt hour of electricity is equivalent to 3,600,000 joules.
.
If energy loss is not calculated, the energy generated by one kilogram of aviation gasoline is approximately 13.33 times that of one kilowatt hour of electricity.
Precisely because of the powerful advantages of aviation gasoline, aviation gasoline is regarded as the first research energy source in the current research.
Dong Guoguo also chose aviation gasoline as the first research energy source without hesitation.
Li Yuan, the eldest son of the Rongcheng Military Region, looked at the design on Dong Guoguo's computer and asked: "Uncle Dong, why does this armor-like armor have a big backpack on the back? Such a design is so ugly!
"
Dong Guoguo ignored Li Yuan. The boy probably wanted to keep asking, so he could only explain helplessly: "That's the fuel tank! If the design of the fuel tank is cancelled, the entire metal exoskeleton will not be able to operate at all!"
Li Yuan said in surprise: "Uncle Dong, you mean that the metal exoskeleton is about to be developed and can it be put into practical use?"
Dong Guoguo shook his head, "The main body of the metal exoskeleton is about to be completed, but its operating system needs to be completed by the boss himself. Without an operating system, the metal exoskeleton is just a decoration!"
What Dong Guoguo said is true!
In the Robot plan, all aspects of the metal exoskeleton have been designed, including the overall shape, the individual specifications of each component, and even the micro internal combustion engine. All preliminary preparations have been made.
But the only thing missing is an operating system!
How important is the operating system? To give a simple example, let's say a personal computer has extremely powerful hardware configuration, but does not have a Windows operating system or other operating systems. What is its use?
It probably serves no purpose other than being used as a decoration!
"Uncle Dong, are you saying that as long as that guy Shi Lei makes the operating system of the metal exoskeleton, the metal exoskeleton can be put into actual testing?" Li Yuan asked excitedly.
"Not yet. Further testing is needed regarding the material of the fuel tank. Since the fuel tank is back-mounted, it not only has to bear the function of the fuel tank, but also has to bear the function of defensive armor. When attacked by anti-materials, including
When attacking with a sniper rifle, try to block the warhead as much as possible!"
Li Yuan frowned. Regarding the anti-materiel sniper rifle, he definitely knew much better than Dong Guoguo. Judging from the name, since it is called an anti-materiel weapon, its power cannot be underestimated.
Anti-material sniper rifles are mostly used to attack armored vehicles and even tanks. With such a powerful attack power, even if the armor of the metal exoskeleton can resist it, the super impact force alone will make the ones inside
Combatants lose combat effectiveness.
"Uncle Dong, I'm afraid it can't stop the attack of an anti-material sniper rifle!" Li Yuan said directly.
Dong Guoguo looked at Li Yuan with a half-smile, "Li Yuan, do you think I don't know? I was just thinking about how to withstand an anti-material sniper rifle attack and prevent the fuel tank from exploding!"
"Oh!" Li Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment, "Uncle Dong, how big did you design the fuel tank to be? If the fuel is not enough, the combat effectiveness of the metal exoskeleton can be ignored!"
Dong Guoguo called up the design plan of the fuel tank on the computer and said to Li Yuan: "Look at it for yourself! After reading it, get out of here and don't bother me all the time!"
Li Yuan rolled his eyes, but he was not angry. He stared at the detailed parameters on the computer screen.
‘The length is 70cm, the width is 50cm, and the thickness is 10cm. In this way, the total capacity is not large!’ Li Yuan secretly calculated in his mind that the total capacity is length times width times height, which is equal to the standard 35 liters.
"Uncle Dong, the fuel tank is only 35 liters. Is it too small?" Li Yuan asked doubtfully.
Dong Guoguo rubbed her temples. If it weren't for Li Yuan's special status, Dong Guoguo would have ordered Li Yuan to get out!
"Li Yuan, do you know what 35 liters is? Let me tell you, the fuel tank capacity of an ordinary small car is only about 35 liters. The fuel consumption of a 1.4-displacement car for 100 kilometers is about
7 liters, that is to say, a 35-liter fuel tank is enough to supply a car with a driving range of 500 kilometers. Isn't this enough? A metal exoskeleton equipped with such a fuel tank can support 4 hours of operation even in the most intense combat situations.
Above. In non-combat situations, the operation time can be at least 12 hours."
Dong Guoguo took a breath and continued: "Don't ask me why I don't continue to increase the size! The size of the fuel tank has been repeatedly calculated and the above size is the most suitable and will not affect the metal exoskeleton battle. Moreover,
It fully satisfies regular combat. If you want to ask why the thickness is only 10cm, can it be increased further? Then let me tell you that in terms of thickness, a 4cm alloy armor and a 2cm rubber shock-absorbing partition need to be loaded, so the thickness cannot be increased!
"
Li Yuan pretended to understand, "Uncle Dong, I understand!"
"Get out of here if you understand, don't delay my research work!" Dong Guoguo said rudely.
Li Yuan walked dejectedly to the research rooms of several other experts, preparing to ask other experts about their situation. Due to his protection and the metal exoskeleton project, Li Yuan was designated by the Rongcheng Military Region to supervise the metal exoskeleton project.
Li Yuan knows almost nothing about the metal exoskeleton project. His only use in the research room is to idle around!
In the aerodynamics laboratory, Professor Song En, who was as boring as a gourd, was selected by Dong Guoguo as the chief expert of the aerodynamics laboratory.
Li Yuan walked into the aerodynamics laboratory and saw Professor Song En testing the aerodynamic flow linearity of some parts of the metal exoskeleton. He excitedly asked: "Professor Song, how is the aerodynamic performance of the metal exoskeleton?"
?”
Song En is a standard boring gourd. He won't answer anything Li Yuan asks him.
Li Yuan asked a few more questions, asking for trouble. After finding that Song En didn't answer, he could only walk to other laboratories.
The Mechanical Shock Absorption Laboratory chaired by Professor Jinda is improving the mechanical structure of metal exoskeletons to achieve better shock absorption effects.
Li Yuan, a poor man, had just walked into the mechanical damping laboratory. Jinda was generally serious in speech. He looked at Li Yuan with a serious look and said directly: "Li Yuan, you go to Lu Fang's place to play!"
"Professor Jin, let me see if you have made any progress!" Li Yuan said shamelessly, wanting to sneak into the mechanical damping laboratory to see the experiments they were conducting.
Jinda snorted, "Let's play for a while! We don't have time to care about you!"
Li Yuan had no choice but to go to the mechanical power research laboratory run by the good old Lu Fang. Although Lu Fang had a goatee and looked more sinister and cunning, Lu Fang was actually a good old man.
Walking into the mechanical power research room, Lu Fang was experimenting with a micro internal combustion engine to be installed inside the metal exoskeleton. The space of the metal exoskeleton is limited, and every internal space must be fully utilized.
With limited volume, how to generate more powerful power under the same volume conditions is what Lu Fang needs to consider.
The power system of the metal exoskeleton is definitely the top priority. Without a strong power system, the combat capability of the metal exoskeleton is just a piece of shit!
In order for a metal exoskeleton to produce powerful combat capabilities, it must have a powerful power core. Just like a car, a 1.0-displacement car and a 3.0-displacement car have different acceleration, maximum speed, and load capacity.
Can it be compared?
Li Cai stood next to Lu Fang and asked with a smile: "Professor Lu, how are you preparing the metal exoskeleton engine?".
