Chapter 718 A small disappointment VS a big surprise
“The mechanical exoskeletons currently on display generally only consist of two parts: the lower limb auxiliary exoskeleton and the main torso part.
Its purpose or function is mainly to reduce the fatigue of soldiers walking for a long time and increase the load. Thereby helping soldiers carry more combat and supply equipment and extending the combat effectiveness of soldiers.
Of course, this is for military use. Because the concept of exoskeleton itself was proposed by military weapons and equipment experts.
Later, this concept of mechanical exoskeleton was also cited by some medical experts. They believed that this kind of mechanical exoskeleton could help some paralyzed people stand up again.
For example, disabled people with high degree of paraplegia, ALS, ankylosing spondylitis, or neurological damage can use this exoskeleton to help them stand up and walk normally.
However, all of us know that the cost of such a mechanical exoskeleton equipment must be extremely expensive. Unless you are a wealthy family, ordinary people cannot afford it."
Having said this, Chu Tianyou introduced the hanging mechanical exoskeleton in front of several people and said: "We, on this basis, have added an auxiliary arm exoskeleton.
The advantage of this is that it allows the wearer to not only carry more weight, but also to lift more weight easily.
Let's take a scene, such as ammunition transportation, especially in a field environment. It is difficult to use tools and it is all manual transportation. Especially for artillerymen who seize time and hit and run, time is very precious.
If there is such a mechanical exoskeleton, it can greatly reduce the intensity of artillery operations and greatly improve combat effectiveness.
For another example, wars now require more and more firepower. Although infantry is now equipped with armored vehicles, it is still difficult for armored vehicles to reach some complex areas.
Once separated from the armored vehicle, it is difficult for the infantry to obtain fire support from heavy weapons in time. Although the infantry now carries some individual firepower weapons, due to weight restrictions, it can carry very few.
If you have this wearable mechanical exoskeleton, you can carry more weapons and ammunition on your back, which will not only enhance the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, but also extend the combat time.
Even if necessary, heavy weapons can be installed on the exoskeleton. For example, the more powerful Gatling gun, which is difficult for ordinary soldiers to carry, but it can be used with a mechanical exoskeleton. Not only can it be equipped with a Gatling gun
, it can also carry more ammunition, and it is no problem to carry thousands of rounds on its back.
Or it could be equipped with other heavy weapons, such as rocket launchers, grenade launchers, or one-person anti-tank missiles or anti-aircraft missiles, etc."
"Of course, this is for military use, and the application prospects for civilian use are also very huge. In addition to the medical field we mentioned earlier, there are actually many more.
For example, some logistics handling work, as well as manual labor work in this area of human labor, etc. "
After hearing Chu Tianyou's introduction, Wu Hao and the others nodded.
Zou Xiaodong looked at the mechanical exoskeleton in front of him, and then looked at the thin layer of dust falling on it. He frowned and asked, "Have you not used this mechanical exoskeleton for a long time?"
Following Zou Xiaodong's gaze, everyone also saw the dust on the mechanical exoskeleton, and then looked at Chu Tianyou.
Such an important research equipment can actually become dusty. This is either because, as Zou Xiaodong said, they have not used this mechanical exoskeleton for a long time. Or they are slacking off in their work and not paying enough attention to such an important scientific research product.
Haha, Chu Tianyou said with some embarrassment: "There is too much dust in this desert, so it is easy to fall dust.
That's right, this mechanical exoskeleton hasn't been moved for several days. In fact, it is now on display. The finished film we are actually testing is in another factory. Come with me."
Several people nodded after hearing this, and then they and Chu Tianyou came to the nearby factory. As soon as they reached the door, Wu Hao and the others heard the sound of mechanical transmission inside.
When I walked in and took a look, everyone's eyes widened, and some did not dare to detail what they saw in front of them.
I saw that this factory was very empty, with nothing else placed. It was simply an indoor testing ground.
In the innermost position against the wall, there is a row of mechanical exoskeletons. These mechanical exoskeletons are not only different in color, there are red, blue, black, and metal stainless steel without any paint.
And the styles are also different and various, which is dazzling.
What attracts the most attention is the two testers wearing mechanical exoskeletons in the venue, conducting various testing projects.
Some keep running on treadmills with oxygen masks. They also jump over various obstacles in the venue.
When the two testers and other technical staff saw them coming in, they stopped working and then applauded enthusiastically.
Seeing this, Wu Hao smiled and pressed his hand, and then said to Chu Tianyou: "You gave me a big surprise. Originally, I was a little disappointed when I saw the mechanical exoskeleton next door.
"
Hahahaha... Chu Tianyou smiled and explained: "That is our No. 1 prototype, and it is also our most important product.
All the mechanical exoskeleton products you see here are optimized on its basis.
Including the latest mechanical exoskeleton products worn by these two testers, we have developed them based on it through layers of optimization and improvements."
Wu Hao smiled when he heard this, and then came to the tester wearing a new mechanical exoskeleton who was standing next to the treadmill.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Wu Hao said, reaching out his hand to him.
"Thank you, Mr. Wu!" The tester quickly stretched out his hand to hold Wu Hao's hand and said excitedly. As for Wu Hao, he couldn't help but look at the metal glove he was holding.
Chu Tianyou, who was next to him, noticed Wu Hao's interested gaze and immediately introduced: "In order to allow the wearer to pick up heavier objects, we specially designed this pair of metal mechanical gloves.
The internal design of this pair of metal mechanical gloves is equipped with a micro transmission device, which not only can follow the free movement of the human hand, but also can support greater weight when tightened.
With it, it can not only protect the wearer's hands, but also be able to grab heavier things. Generally, it is difficult for ordinary people to grab something weighing one hundred kilograms with one hand.
But if you wear this pair of metal mechanical gloves, you can pick them up very easily. In addition, we also borrowed from VR body sensing gloves and set up a touch system for this pair of metal mechanical gloves. This also allows our wearers to feel their hands through thick
