Chapter 2598 A new generation of special mechanical exoskeleton protective armor
We haven't seen this kind of mechanical exoskeleton protective armor before. Li Weiguo and everyone walked to the mechanical exoskeleton exhibition area and stopped in front of a pair of black night camouflage painted mechanical exoskeleton protective armor. Then they looked at it while looking at it.
Wu Hao and others asked.
After hearing Li Weiguo's inquiry, Zhang Xiaolei, who accompanied everyone on the tour, naturally stepped into her role and acted as a commentator.
Yes, the one in front of you is our latest development of a new generation of special mechanical exoskeleton protective armor. Its main purpose is for special operations missions with special needs.
"Oh, the special operations mechanical exoskeleton protective armor is a bit interesting." Wang Lianggong praised it, and then asked: "How is it different from your ordinary mechanical exoskeleton protective armor?"
Zhang Xiaolei responded: "After our mechanical exoskeleton protective armor came out and was put into use, it has been unanimously welcomed by the grassroots troops. However, many problems have also been exposed.
We immediately dispatched personnel to go deep into these user units to solicit opinions and collect usage opinions and suggestions from grassroots units and even personnel. Then based on these opinions and suggestions, as well as the problems encountered in the actual use process, we began to develop new products for this generation.
The product has been improved, optimized and upgraded, and has absorbed the relevant advantages of the first-generation mechanical exoskeleton protective armor, and has been improved and optimized to address a series of problems existing in some tests and actual use.
This is our second generation mechanical exoskeleton protective armor, and the special model is redesigned and developed based on the basic version of the second generation, making it more suitable for special operations needs.
Compared with the response of troops with many users and equipment, the weight of our intelligent mechanical exoskeleton protective armor is a bit too heavy, which makes the transportation and wearing process cumbersome and is not conducive to rapid equipment transportation.
Therefore, for the second-generation product, we have significantly reduced the weight of the product, making it almost 50 kilograms lighter than the previous-generation product.
However, due to cost and maintenance reasons, we are very restrained in this aspect.
On the special mechanical exoskeleton protective armor, we can abandon these concerns to further maximize its performance. For example, in terms of its own weight, this time, we used more composite materials and titanium alloy materials in the mechanical materials.
, making this special mechanical exoskeleton protective armor nearly 30 kilograms lighter than the second-generation ordinary version, while its overall protective performance is about 30% higher than that of the second-generation product.
The black composite armor on its body is made of titanium alloy. As we all know, the processing technology of titanium alloy is very complicated. It is very troublesome to cut and stamp so many titanium alloy materials, so its manufacturing cost is relatively high.
A bit higher.
Of course, it is not enough to be close to this layer of titanium alloy. We also added polymer composite materials behind this layer of titanium alloy armor. This material can not only improve the overall strength of the titanium alloy, but also absorb bullets and gravity strikes.
The force hitting it can cushion and reduce the impact of these huge impact forces on the wearer, thereby causing damage."
"With such a thin layer, is it really so protective?" One of the several strong, dark-faced colonels wearing jungle camouflage who gathered around him heard Zhang Xiaolei's introduction.
, couldn’t help but ask.
Wu Hao, Li Weiguo and the others looked at each other and laughed after hearing this. However, they did not speak, but waited for Zhang Xiaolei's answer.
"Yes, we have undergone rigorous testing of this composite armor material. It can withstand direct fire from 7.62 steel-core bullets within a distance of ten meters."
As she spoke, Zhang Xiaolei slid the transparent folding tablet in her hand. She saw a screen placed next to these exoskeletons. As she operated, the screen began to play the test screen of this armor material.
In the picture, several testers wearing camouflage uniforms are holding an August 1st automatic rifle, removing the magazine, loading several steel core bullets into the magazine, and then loading them on the gun.
Pulling the bolt to load the gun is a complete process.
The tester then walked a few rounds with the gun in hand, came to the shooting position, lay down neatly, and raised the gun to aim.
Ten meters in front of him, a piece of black composite armor was tied to a sandbag with tape. As the firing order was given, the tester pulled the trigger, and the bullet came out and hit the composite armor directly.
Armor.
Ding!
Only a "ding" sound was heard, and the bullet hit the composite armor. As the camera slowed down, everyone finally saw clearly the scene of the bullet hitting the composite armor.
I saw that the flying warhead quickly deformed and collapsed after hitting the composite armor. At the same time, a crater was also created in the composite armor. However, the bullet did not penetrate, but traced along the arc of the composite armor.
It forms a ricochet.
At this time, the tester came forward to check, and saw that the front of the protective armor had been hit by a bullet, with a small crater the size of a peanut, and then a scratch that slid to one side. The entire armor also showed a dark gray interior with scratches.
It is very smooth and has not been penetrated into the material by bullets.
The test continued, and the next few bullets hit the composite armor. The entire composite armor was hit with holes everywhere, but without exception, the warheads were scratched away.
I took off the composite armor and turned it over to the back, but there was no penetration on the back, and there was not even a big bulge. There were only small bulges the size of soybeans at the location of the crater.
Everyone at the scene was very surprised when they saw this scene, and started talking one after another.
Zhang Xiaolei, as for Zhang Xiaolei, smiled when he saw this, and then asked someone to take out a piece of composite armor full of bullet marks from a black plastic suitcase nearby, and then said to everyone: "This is the composite armor that was tested just now.
We also brought it with us, please take a look."
After hearing Zhang Xiaolei's introduction, everyone couldn't help but look at the composite armor in their hands. By comparing the shape of the composite armor on the screen, as well as the location and direction of the craters and scratches, everyone finally confirmed that this was
What they saw on the screen was the composite armor used for testing.
Can we get started? Li Weiguo asked curiously when he saw this.
Of course, please. Zhang Xiaolei smiled and nodded.
Li Weiguo immediately took over the piece of composite armor from the personnel, then tried to weigh it, and then said with some surprise: "It's very light. It feels much lighter than the protective inserts on ordinary body armor."
When Wang Lianggong saw this, he couldn't help but take the composite armor from Li Weiguo's hand and weigh it, with a serious look on his face: "It is indeed very light, much lighter than the bulletproof inserts."
