Chapter 167: Exoskeleton

Ross looked at the proposal and was amazed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 But as an American general, he will not be as unheard of as Ivan Vanko, who grew up in Siberia.

Ross still vaguely remembers that shortly after the end of World War II, when S.H.I.E.L.D. was still under the control of the United States, he carried out a secret program codenamed "Paperclip".

Recruit former Nazi and Hydra scientists who are both valuable and have not committed unforgivable sins, and trade their freedom for their service to the United States.

Among them was a captured scientist from Germany or Sweden, who, after being educated in the core values of US imperialism, was determined to change his past wrongs, start from scratch, and resolutely devote himself to the great cause of contributing to the capitalist world.

The scientist has put forward a similar theory, in which a mechanical prosthesis is attached to the human body, which is directly controlled by the human nervous system.

But for some reason, the research on this theory was inexplicably terminated, presumably due to failure, and the scientist died of illness decades ago.

It is also because of these that after Rose saw the plan in front of him, although he still felt crazy and bold, he did not feel too abrupt.

"As long as the nervous system is not damaged too much and remains awake, the mechanical exoskeleton can guarantee the mobility of the human body. Rose slowly closed the plan, put it on the table, tapped the name on it with his fingers, and said half-jokingly, "Gospel plan?" Hehe, this is really a gospel, I think in the future, even if a high paraplegic patient wants to get out of bed and walk, it will not be a problem. But I think it's more appropriate for you to use him to work with the medical department. ”

"As a reminder to the General, this is only part of the gospel plan, and his official project is called, Edge of Tomorrow. "Our company does have plans to launch a civilian version of the product for disabled patients." ”

"However, restoring mobility to the disabled can be regarded as a medical device for civilian use. Oresses squinted her eyes and said, "But if you let an ordinary person can casually punch five hundred pounds, is it still in civilian range?"

"You know, unlike human muscles, machines don't need long-term exercise to increase output. It just needs to draw a hydraulic press. ”

"I know. Ross was just talking and playing, and of course he could see the military value of this plan. "But can you really be sure that this so-called Edge of Tomorrow plan will be more suitable for the military than strengthening human technology?"

He has studied the technique of strengthening people for half his life, and although it ended in failure, he has also summed up some ways and experience. But for the plan in front of him, he had indeed heard of it before, but he had only heard about it, and he didn't know much about it at all, so he was a little uncertain.

"You've seen what those fortified corpses look like, right?" asked Salorath. "What do you think?"

"Hmm... Let's be honest... It's ugly. Ross replied dryly.

Although Rose hadn't seen the reinforcements with his own eyes, he had seen the footage. The size of those guys is out of the range of ordinary people, as for the appearance...... Hehe, although I can't catch up with the hatred, but I'm also so ugly that I have no friends.

"I can tell you very responsibly. Salorath said solemnly, "Due to the current technology, all normal people who have been strengthened will become like that, and this change is irreversible, as long as it is strengthened, it will be like this for the rest of their lives." Do you think your soldiers can sacrifice for their country to this point?"

Rose didn't have to think about it to know that it would definitely be impossible. After all, being a soldier is only a matter of a few years, and appearance is related to a lifetime of happiness. And the American GIs' spirit of sacrifice for the country... Hmph, everybody knows that.

"And this machine is different, as long as there is no mistake in the installation process, it will not cause trauma, and after dismantling, it is no different from ordinary people, in the final analysis, it is just a tool that is more closely connected to the human body. ”

In addition, this exoskeleton can assist soldiers, at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour, continuous movement for two hours, the speed of a 100-meter sprint can be controlled within eight seconds, overturn a car with bare hands, and the pressurized air equipment embedded in the back can allow soldiers to jump on the spot 15 meters high wall. The adsorption suit on the soles of the feet allows people to run on the wall of the vertical ground for a short time. It can be said that he can do what he can do when he strengthens people, and he can do what he can't do when he strengthens people. ”

Thanks to our martyr Ivan Vanko, who not only put together the drawings of Gnoss, but also designed them at the suggestion of Sarah.

"And this machine can also evade a lot of indifferent accusations, humanitarian, anti-biological and chemical weapons conventions, these can be avoided. ”

"But," Rosemo said, rubbing his chin as he flipped through the papers, pointing to them, "but this protection is too bad, isn't it?"

No wonder Ross would say this, the exoskeleton shown in the document, the device is indeed relatively simple, the semi-enclosed helmet is connected to a bionic metal spine, and on each side is a square device, each with two exhaust holes, that should be the nerve connection device, and the so-called pressurized jet device. Elsewhere, except for the armor covering the chest and abdomen, there are hollow brackets composed of hydraulic bearings and mechanical joints, although these things are all over the body, but the protection is basically equal to zero.

"Can't you be like Iron Man?" Rose suggested.

Ross said that he had his own plans, Iron Man is now famous, and the military is salivating over it, if a similar product can be come up with at this time, the cooperation will become extremely smooth.

"I can do it," Salorath said, embarrassed, "but it can't be done at all." ”

"Iron Man has an artificial intelligence operating system, a new energy ark reactor, Tony Stark's special high-strength alloys, and a well-crafted weapon system. ”

"Our current set of technology can indeed replace artificial intelligence, but what kind of combat effectiveness does steel armor made of ordinary materials and weapon systems look like, I think you should have seen it on the news a few days ago. ”

"Hmm," Rose groaned. He did see that Justin's products, getting rid of you alone and fighting all over the place, the comparison of combat effectiveness can be described as a world of difference.

"But even a piece of armor like that costs as much as $100 million, hmph, this is a pitiful low cost performance. And it can't solve the problem of energy supply. With the existing energy storage device, it can last up to twenty minutes for that armor. Unless you can put a small nuclear reactor on him, or get the Ark reactor from Tony. ”

Finally, Salorath smiled and asked, "Do you think the current relationship between the military and Tony will be given to you?"

Of course I will, but it's just that it's being thrown over after it is detonated, and now Tony and the military have torn their faces, okay? And what kind of small nuclear reactor, you wait a few more years, maybe someone will invent it, don't worry.

"Even if you can't make it that way, cover the important torso parts, like the thighs, with armor. If you get injured in those places on the battlefield, it will be very troublesome. ”

"There's no need. "The most important function of those places is to have mobility, but this exoskeleton has ensured this, even if that place is gone, as long as this exoskeleton is present, it will not affect mobility." ”

"Hehe," Rose said, the corners of his mouth twitching, "you don't think about the pain of the soldiers?"

Shot in the thigh, you let the exoskeleton drag him to force him to move quickly? You might as well go to the place where he died. And with the fighting will of the American soldier, it is estimated that he was lying on the ground immediately, waiting for the enemy to be captured, where would he endure that pain and forcibly move?

"Well, maybe we can put a strong painkiller on the probe that is inserted into the spine, and inject it as soon as the soldier is injured, so that even if the limb is amputated on the spot, he will not feel pain. Oresses gave a countermeasure on the spot.

"But if the bullet was stuck in the flesh at that time, after forcibly moving, I am afraid that it would really have to be amputated when I come back. Rose's eyes widened and he said.

"Our company's civilian exoskeleton prosthetics can solve his disability problem. Salorath said coldly.

Ross was lying in 10,000 slots at that time, and they all said that there was no treachery, but you guys are too insidious, right? Deliberately reduce the protection ability, cause the soldiers to be disabled, and then let them come back to buy your civilian exoskeleton, I'll take it, it's all a routine!

Well, that's not right. Rose suddenly thought. If the soldier is really disabled, then the money for this prosthetic leg will have to be paid by the military, and there will be a disability allowance for many years in the future, which is a lot of money. Or... Let's discuss it, remove the piece of armor on the chest, and just let that unlucky guy die directly.

"Rest assured, these are lightweight exoskeletons that are specifically designed for special forces or agents who need to move flexibly. By the nature of the mission, they don't need much protective armor that would hinder their movements. ”

Special forces usually operate stealthily and rarely engage the enemy head-on, so sacrificing some protection to increase movement speed is the right decision.

"For soldiers who need a frontal assault, we have heavy exoskeletons with great firepower and protection. Of course, in terms of flexibility, it is not as light as it is. ”

"It doesn't matter. Ross understood. A head-on conflict must be a rain of bullets, and no matter how flexible your actions are, you can't dodge bullets, so protection and firepower are even more important.

"If it's really like what you introduced," Ross said, "then I'm sure the military will cooperate with you." ”

"However...... "At this time, Ross was embarrassed again, "To be honest, someone has mentioned a similar plan before, but the research in this area has ended in nothing, so for most people, your technology is too unfamiliar, and I can't guarantee that the military will grant you a large amount of research funding." ”

According to Roth's understanding, the co-housing model of this kind of project should be that you come up with a design that looks reliable and that will be of interest to the military, and then the military will allocate money to support you to continue your research and finally come up with the finished product.

However, in the Star Wars program during the Cold War, there were too many imaginative researches, which wasted a large amount of military scientific research funds, which made the military very strict in the design research of too mysterious.

And the technology that the other party is providing now, exoskeletons and carrying weapons or something is easy to say, the key is this nerve connection, in the eyes of those stable generals, it is definitely a fantasy.

So Ross can't be sure how much he can approve, or how much he can't approve at all.

"No, you don't. Auresis said.

"I'll try to get it for you, after all...... Wait, what are you talking about?" asked Ross in disbelief.

"I said, we don't need military money. Oresses said with certainty. "We have sufficient R&D funds ourselves!"

Seriously, who has a grudge against money? Even if these two female demons didn't come for too long, they knew that those green tickets were good things, at least they knew that the fans they usually smoked were bought with money. So it wasn't their intention, it was arranged by Evenson.

Huh? This seems even more impossible, how could that poor ghost push money outside?

But there is no way to do it, as the top leader of a shell company, he knows that if he wants to give others an unfathomable feeling, in addition to being able to come up with some dry goods, he must also be able to stand up to the shelf, to put it bluntly, it is necessary to pretend to be good.

The strength of the old subsidiary is unfathomable, and the funds are as abundant as the nuclear warheads of the peninsular countries, and it is not rare for you to break the money at all, don't ask me why, my forced standard is so high!

Ah, my heart aches so suddenly.

"But you need to do us a small favor, General. That's when Orethas made a request.

"Speak. At this time, Ross was still a little confused by the other party's behavior of pushing money out just now, and I don't know if it was because he really felt that the other party was a company with unfathomable strength, or because he felt that the other party's boss was definitely a second goods.

"In order to facilitate cooperation, I will soon register a pioneer company to specialize in the production of this exoskeleton armor, and the company name is NERV. We have all the registered capital and research funding ready. But S.H.I.E.L.D. has been keeping an eye on it a bit lately. So I want you to provide a secure account so that we can transfer the funds confidentially. ”

"Huh?" Rose thought for a moment and said, "I also have a military account in my hand, which is specifically used to receive similar funds, and S.H.I.E.L.D. can't find out." By the way, how much is that money?"

"$60 billion. ”

Ross: "......... are you sure that you set up a pioneer company, not a head office?"
