Chapter 163: Because what we do is high-end
The head of the headquarters was really taken aback by Zhuang Jianye's words.
Although the mechanical exoskeleton seems very sci-fi in the eyes of ordinary people, it is not unachievable in the field of military equipment research, take the United States as an example, in the 60s, General Motors began to try to develop mechanical exoskeletons, so as to create so-called super soldiers for the US military.
Europe and the former Soviet Union have also followed suit, and the reason for this is no other reason than that mechanical exoskeletons can reduce the burden on soldiers and improve the durability of the human body.
Not to mention the other group of super soldiers with Gatling spin machine guns, against a handful of ordinary soldiers with AK assault rifles, no matter what else, the firepower alone can press the AK soldiers to the ground and rub them into the ground.
In addition, in artillery, a 155mm shell is quite heavy, and in actual combat, two soldiers are usually tired like dogs and can barely support 3 minutes of rapid fire.
If you want the fire to last, you either need to replace the people to carry the shells, or reduce the rate of fire to allow the bombardier to catch his breath.
It's different with a mechanical exoskeleton, a bombardier is enough, because with the blessing of a mechanical exoskeleton, even a thin soldier can become a strong man, and it's an exaggeration to lift a thousand kilograms of mountains and boulders, but it's still very easy to have something about a hundred kilograms.
So not to mention 3 minutes of rapid fire, it is 5 minutes, or even 10 minutes, and the bomb feeder wearing a mechanical exoskeleton can cope with it alone.
In this way, we can not only ensure the continuity of the artillery firepower and the effectiveness of the strike, but more importantly, we can reduce the basic establishment of the artillery and make the artillery units smaller, more compact, and more sensitive, so as to improve the battlefield survival conditions of the artillery.
In addition, in terms of logistical support, the daily supply of domestic frontiers, especially those high-altitude outposts in the border areas and snow areas, needs to be carried step by step by manpower.
Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the key manpower is limited after all, and the load cannot be too much.
With a mechanical exoskeleton, it is different, and logistics soldiers can carry double or even double or triple the weight of the load, so that when transporting logistics materials, the previous two or three deliveries may be completed at one time, which is not only intensive but also efficient.
Because of this, this kind of mechanical exoskeleton may only be a supporting part of super soldiers for European and American armies, but it is indeed a proper just need for domestic troops, and it is really a good thing that almost all branches of the army need.
However, after a period of endurance of nearly 20 years, there are too many shortcomings to be made up for by the troops, and in addition, the shortage of funds has not been fundamentally alleviated, so that the functions of the general department have spent money on the cutting edge and made every effort to ensure the construction of "killer equipment" and other key equipment.
For cutting-edge equipment such as mechanical exoskeletons, which are not urgently needed, the headquarters really has more than enough strength and can only entrust subordinate research institutions to track the development trends of foreign countries, do some theoretical research, and wait for the funds to be abundant and find ways to invest in actual research and development.
But I didn't expect that Zhuang Jianye's Tengfei Group, which is engaged in prosthetics and wheelchairs, can also make this kind of good thing that represents the development direction of individual equipment in the future, which makes the head of the headquarters not surprised?
But in a blink of an eye, I am a little confused, you must know that there are many domestic manufacturers of prosthetics and wheelchairs, although it is not as loud as the "Fake" brand of Tengfei Group, but there are a few companies that can do it, why they didn't make a mechanical exoskeleton, only Tengfei Group made it?
"Because what we do is high-end. ”
Zhuang Jianye's answer was as angry as ever, which made the head of the headquarters frown, eager to strangle this pretending rabbit cub, as if who doesn't know that your Tengfei Group is high-end, do you listen to this?
Of course Zhuang Jianye knew, so he smiled, and continued without waiting for the head of the headquarters to get angry: "How high-end is it, let's put it this way, our latest prosthetic arm can judge the host's action according to the muscle changes at the severed limb, and then transmit it to the various joints of the prosthesis through the servo system to realize the swinging, grabbing, and lowering of the normal arm."
Of course, this system can also be controlled by voice, for example, if the host says 'grab', the prosthetic arm will control the palm of the hand to grasp the object you want to grasp......"
Zhuang Jianye introduced the real core thing of FK to the head of the headquarters, which is the mastery of ergonomics and related data information.
This is also thanks to Mr. Hawking, a physicist who cannot speak, and can only rely on three moving fingers to control the keyboard to type the text and then read it out by an analog voice.
But with the deterioration of Hawking's condition, only one of the original three movable fingers remained, and the difficulty of reading and writing suddenly increased by 2 times.
So while building a wheelchair for Hawking, Hawking wanted to improve his communication equipment so that he could easily communicate with outsiders with one finger.
Tengfei Group has no problem making the hardware of the wheelchair, even setting up the laser gyroscope data and lidar application is not a problem, because this thing is much less difficult to photograph than the airplane in the sky and the satellite to hit outer space.
But language communication, which involves ergonomics and neurology, is not fun, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and Tengfei Group has never touched this thing, so how can they do it?
In the face of this situation, this time it was not the suave Evans, but the technologist Owen, who spent more than a month traveling back and forth to Europe and the United States, visiting the relevant discipline research laboratories of major universities and dozens of start-ups with great potential, and then hired the top medical experts to screen the results of these laboratories and start-ups.
After making a list, without saying a word, the Irving version of the trench is inhuman.
The start-ups that you like are directly acquired, and the achievements of scientific research institutions that you can see are directly bought out.
Startup founders don't sell?
Then take a copy of the company's similar product and sue them for infringement, level by level, until the startup is brought down.
What do you say? A scientific research institution does not give results?
Then simply poach the core experts and even the entire team who have this achievement.
In this way, Owen was busy for more than half a year, obtaining massive ergonomic and neurological data, as well as the latest achievements in the application of these two related disciplines and computer connections, and then handed them over to Zhuang Jianye.
Tengfei Group does not lack software programming technology, let alone theoretical analysis capabilities, what is lacking is these decades of basic data, and now Owen has packaged these data for less than 10 million US dollars, which is equivalent to taking a detour for decades for Tengfei Group.
Relying on this data, coupled with the advantages of Tengfei Group in other aspects, a set of FKZB muscle judgment recognition system was quickly developed.
The system is integrated into Hawking's glasses, using lasers to detect the wriggling of a small movable muscle group under Hawking's eye socket when Hawking communicates, and judge what Hawking wants to say, so as to declare these words on the LCD display on the wheel, and Hawking can choose with the movable finger.
