Volume 2: Qingyang University Chapter 662: Raytheon's Exoskeleton

Next chapter

The red carpet suspended in the air walked in front of the officers in a procession.

Lu Zhenguo, Chu Chunhui, Qingzhong Yang and others stood around, hugging the gray-haired Ding Guocheng, introducing him to the officials waiting in line.

Every time one is introduced, Ding Guocheng reaches out to shake hands with them, this is a fixed process, at the end of the day, sometimes hundreds of people have to shake hands alone, and the palms are so sore that they can't even hold the pen.

The officials in front of them were also knowledgeable, and they all knew the pain of shaking hands, so they gently took it and let it go.

When it came to the representatives of enterprises from all walks of life, some people were still the first time to see such a heavyweight, and they were inevitably a little excited, and they couldn't help but have too much strength.

Ding Guocheng was also considerate of these people, and gently encouraged him, smiling, and he couldn't see that his hands were actually a little sore.

At this time, Lu Zhenguo quickly made eyes and reminded them not to delay time.

Nan Ming was standing next to him bored, the phone rang, and then he reached out to touch the phone, Qingzhong Yang was speechless, and he couldn't wait to take Nan Ming's mobile phone down.

This bear child is too ignorant of the severity.

You bear child, do you know how difficult it is to invite Ding Guocheng to inspect?

If it weren't for Qingzhong Yang who felt that he had inherited too many benefits from Nanming and couldn't repay it, he wouldn't have tried his best to invite Ding Guocheng to come.

In fact, Ding Guocheng rarely visited certain places, because he was overworked when he was young and had long-term leg pain, for him, the soreness of shaking hands is actually nothing, the key is walking, every step is that his knees hurt badly.

But today, Ding Guocheng has experienced a feeling that he has never felt before.

In the blink of an eye, halfway through the line, he didn't feel any pain in his knee.

Such a comfortable inspection, it was the first time in his life.

The carpet under your feet is steady and even, and you don't have to walk around on your own while standing on the carpet. The officials passed in front of them automatically, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed that the officials in front of them had become goods on the assembly line. And he himself became a quality inspector, checking whether these officials were qualified.

This idea made Ding Guocheng laugh.

He subconsciously stomped his feet lightly, and the carpet under his feet did not move at all, which made Ding Guocheng unable to help but speak: "This thing." Is it really levitating? How can it be so stable?"

Nan Ming was standing aside fiddling with his mobile phone, and said casually when he heard the words: "This is determined by the nature of superconductors. ”

At the original materials science conference, Wang Ziyang once demonstrated the quantum levitation of superconductors, and the complete diamagnetism of superconductors and the quantum tunneling effect determine that when a superconductor is placed above a strong enough magnetic field, it will be locked in a position in the air, or glide on a fixed track.

Changing the direction, intensity, and shape of the magnetic field can control it to move in a fixed direction, up and down, left and right, front and back.

Underground at the Lazy God shipyard, metallic hydrogen cables are buried in the shape of a grid. As long as the energizing of the different wires is changed, this suspended carpet can be suspended at will.

Ding Guocheng didn't understand the principle, but he obviously felt the convenience, and asked a few questions in a row, and when he heard that the carpet was full of metal hydrogen, and the theoretical fraud cost tens of millions of pieces, he was speechless.

"Of course, it's just a theoretical fraud, and the added value of metallic hydrogen is now higher, if it's a cost price. That's a lot lower. Nanming explained.

Speaking of metallic hydrogen, it just so happened that the carpet had flown to the side of several masters of Lazy God Technology, Nanming introduced: "This is Wang Ziyang, the design director of Lazy God Technology, and also the developer of metal hydrogen artificial synthesis technology. ”

Ding Guocheng shook hands with Prince Yang with deep feelings. Haosheng encouraged him and said: "With metal hydrogen, our country's national defense will reach a higher level, which is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people." ”

After encouraging Prince Yang, Ding Guocheng asked Nan Ming with a smile: "I saw you looking at your phone just now, is there anything important to deal with?"

"Nothing. Nanming smiled. "I just received a news that the power exoskeleton XOS3 system developed by Raytheon has passed the acceptance of the US Department of Defense and will be officially installed in several elite units in the United States. ”

"Huh?" Hearing the news, Ding Guocheng didn't say anything, but Qingzhong Yang was surprised, "Really?"

"The news I just received should not be wrong. "Nan Ming Dao.

This news was actually sent by Qing Zhongtang to Nanming, since he would send it to Nanming, it means that this news will not be wrong.

"Power exoskeletons?, do other companies also have power exoskeletons that can be installed?" Ding Guocheng asked in surprise.

To be honest, Nan Ming was also quite surprised by this news, but if you think about it carefully, it was also expected.

Lazy God Technology's power exoskeleton has been on sale for half a year, although most of the current power exoskeletons are supplied internally, and there are not many outflows, but there are about dozens of them that have been exported to all over the world through various channels.

The buyers of these power exoskeletons, in fact, are mostly various manufacturers, and after getting the power exoskeleton of Lazy God Technology, they immediately started reverse engineering.

Before the release of the power exoskeleton by Lazy God Technology, there were actually many companies researching power exoskeletons, but none of them were officially commercialized, and they were still in the experimental or small-scale testing stage.

One of the most mature solutions is Raytheon's powered exoskeleton XOS2, which can easily lift 200 pounds of something, but it feels like it only lifts 10 pounds, and is listed as one of the top 50 inventions of 2010.

However, one of the major drawbacks of the XOS2 is that it consumes a lot of power and can only be powered by an external power supply, not a battery.

After Lazy God Technology released the power exoskeleton, Raytheon's next-generation XOS3 obviously accelerated the progress, and at this time, it was even more tested and began to be installed in a small area.

"According to the information I have gotten, Raytheon's XOS3 can already reach 80% of the performance of the first generation of our company's power exoskeleton, the only problem is that the XOS3 weighs three times the power exoskeleton of Lazy God Technology. "Nan Ming Dao.

Being able to get such an accurate number, it seems that Qing Zhongtang has also put a lot of effort into it, obviously because this matter involves the interests of Nanming and Lazy God Technology, he is particularly concerned.

"Raytheon, this is a big company. Raytheon is the world's sixth-largest arms company and one of the largest military contractors in the United States, and last year it was at the bottom of the world's top 500. With annual sales of $000 million, it is a pivotal behemoth, and Raytheon's power exoskeleton is about to be launched, which may have a great impact on Lazy God Technology.

Ding Guocheng knows the most about Lazy God Technology is the power exoskeleton. This is the pillar industry of Lazy God Technology.

"I'm afraid that in this way, the power exoskeleton market will be reshuffled. Ding Guocheng said, and then he looked at Nanming, not knowing whether it was the school examination or curiosity. "What is Mr. Nan going to do?"

Nan Ming pursed his lips and smiled.

……

In Waltham, Massachusetts, USA, at Raytheon's No. 1 Research Institute, a soldier is scurrying through a test site full of obstacles.

Carrying a salute weighing 91 kilograms, he made his way through various obstacles and difficult terrain.

On his body, there is a huge and slightly bulky power exoskeleton, which is Raytheon's XOS3 power exoskeleton system, also known as the "Earth Warrior".

Several researchers working on XOS3 stared nervously at the number on the screen next to them.

So far, the Earth Warrior system is working normally, with several major motors working fine. The power supply load is very balanced, and the new battery pack is very stable, which can continue to output energy for dozens of minutes and run dozens of kilometers.

Once the power exoskeleton is insufficient, as long as a brick-sized battery expansion pack is replaced in time, the range can be temporarily increased by another 20 kilometers.

Several officials of the Ministry of Defense next to him were very satisfied with the fact that they watched the Earth Warriors assault in various terrains, whether they were wading in water or desert, and they all showed great adaptability and reliability. Nodding his head again and again.

Seeing their expressions made the people on the development team even happier.

Although it has already been accepted, the US military will purchase as much as it wants and in what form. but decided their winnings.

This system can be said to be exhausting, and after the development of it, the whole team lost weight several times.

But the rewards are huge, if a large deal of hundreds of millions of dollars is negotiated, the project leader will receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonuses, and the team members will receive tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses. It's enough for them to arrange a luxury trip or buy a lakeside cottage in the suburbs.

Looking at the excellent performance of the Earth Warriors and various numbers, Colonel Keller of the Ministry of Defense nodded again and again: "Great, with the Earth Warriors, we can train a fully mechanized army, I heard that China already has a mature combat team, and we are far behind in this regard." ”

A female lieutenant colonel next to her also nodded and said: "Although we have also purchased a power exoskeleton from Lazy God Technology, the production speed of Lazy God Technology is too slow, and I am afraid it will take half a year to arrive." I wonder what the output of the Earth Warriors will be if they are mass-produced?"

"You can rest assured that Raytheon is a large, mature defense technology company, and its foundry has the capacity to produce thousands of power exoskeletons per month, which can definitely meet the needs of the Ministry of Defense. The team leader hurriedly said, "If you need it, we will be able to deliver 200 powered exoskeletons by next month." ”

"Great!" said Colonel Keller, delighted.

Colonel Keller is happy, and the personnel of Raytheon are naturally even happier, Colonel Keller has a lot of power and has a say in procurement matters, and if he wants to, he can completely raise orders.

"I don't know how much difference there is between the Earth Warrior of Thor Company and the power exoskeleton of Lazy God Technology?" The team leader was happy, and the female lieutenant colonel next to him suddenly asked an uncomfortable question.

"This ......" the person in charge carefully considered the words and said, "The power exoskeleton of Lazy God Technology is about 120 ......percent of the performance of the Earth Warriors."

The person in charge quietly erased a fraction, and then said: "However, Lazy God Technology is a small company after all, because they have insufficient production capacity, so they can only take the route of high price and low volume, although the performance of our power exoskeleton is slightly worse than that of Lazy God Technology, but it also has its own unique advantages in many aspects, such as solidity and defense capabilities, which surpasses the power exoskeleton of Lazy God Technology." In addition, we also have an advantage that Lazy God Technology can never match, that is, because the production quantity is larger, the cost is lower, if the purchase quantity is enough, we can completely reduce the price to only half of Lazy God Technology!"

Half the price, 80% of the performance, this kind of product, usually has a comment called "good value for money".

Then the person in charge began to brag again: "The Earth Warrior has an advantage that other power exoskeletons can't match, that is, the universal interface with high compatibility, the Earth Warrior can mount a lot of weapons produced by Thor Company, completely eliminating the cost of the later transformation of the power exoskeleton of Lazy God Technology." In addition, the power exoskeleton has also independently developed the lixy energy system, which can replace the energy pack without shutting down, and if the supply is sufficient, it can last for more than ten hours without interruption. ”

He paused and said: "To put it bluntly, although Lazy God Technology entered the market earlier, this market is destined to be our Thor Company, low cost, strong scalability, easy to form combat clusters, easy to maintain, Earth Warriors are born for the battlefield, and compared with our Earth Warriors, the power exoskeleton of Lazy God Technology is a complete layman!"

Listening to all kinds of tall abbreviations, the female lieutenant colonel seemed to be quite satisfied, nodded again and again, and said: "You are right, insufficient production capacity, high cost is the biggest disadvantage of Lazy God Technology, up to now, Lazy God Technology seems to have produced less than a thousand power exoskeletons, most of which are left in China, this market is still a blue ocean, in this market, Raytheon will have a great future." ”

The person in charge nodded again and again, this female lieutenant colonel actually has a lot of connections with Raytheon Company, and at this time she was a little funny, singing and harmonizing with the person in charge, and helping Raytheon Company beat the side drum.

While the two were talking, Colonel Keller asked a question, "I remember the last time I came, the Earth Warriors were still facing the problem of running out of energy and unable to get out of the external power supply, how did you solve this problem?"

"Uh......" Hearing this question, the person in charge of Raytheon showed an embarrassed look and said vaguely: "We used a more powerful battery pack......"

"What kind of battery pack, is it reliable?" asked Colonel Keller, for military products, in fact, it is not too sophisticated, reliability is the most important.

He swept his eyes and saw a battery pack next to him, reached out to pick it up, and took a look.

In the unobtrusive corner, he saw a line of characters, a line of Chinese characters.
