Chapter Ninety-Four
This thing...... Doesn't it look like a one-soldier exoskeleton? Or a little higher-end, called power armor? What's the use!
"This comrade, how can you talk like that?" Putting his hand in the pocket of his white coat, Huo Yongsi glanced at the text on the holographic screen, "How can this kind of thing be power armor?" Do you know what the concept of power armor is? β
Power armor, the concept was first proposed by Robert Heinley in his 1959 science fiction novel "Starship Paratroopers", and the original description of this concept is too long for me to type, in short, it is an external armor that can give the wearer firepower, mobility, observation and communication capabilities, and protection capabilities beyond ordinary infantry and even armored units.

"Oh?" Huo Yongsi raised his flat glasses, "I really can't see it, it turns out that you also have research in this area?" β
It's not about research, it's just about being interested. I've seen a little bit of it before, so I wrote it down by the way.
"Then we can analyze it carefully. The definition of power armor requires that it allows the user to have energy storage, defense, attack power, information capabilities, and mobility beyond that of armored forces. Not to mention mobility, this kind of armored vehicle must be no more than a human soldier who is several times smaller in size, let's talk about attack power first, the current technology has been able to develop to the point that the rifle can have the power of the electromagnetic main gun of the Z-50? Again, on top of defense......"
In terms of defense, unless there is a rather anti-sky "shield", individual equipment will never be more resistant to fighting than armored vehicles. And then there's the energy aspect, although there is basically no difference between armored units and infantry units as long as small nuclear reactors are used - the energy it produces is not used up by either combat unit anyway - but the problem is that we don't have this technology at all. I know all of that. What I want to ask is, is there much difference between this thing and those individual exoskeletons? It's nothing more than making us run faster, jump higher, and have less infrared exposure, and it looks like you're adding a small vehicle to the back, but I'm seriously skeptical about how long it lasts, and I've just heard that it's a spacesuit, so it should be a little bit more adaptable. So, is there anything else? If that's all there is to it, then wearing it into battle, we will be killed by anti-armor fire, just like many soldiers who have tried to do so. Even, its slightly larger size than the exoskeleton deprives us of the advantage of fighting in small indoor areas. You're going to let us wear something that's not much better than an exoskeleton and plunge into a pile of monsters and fight them? There were only two of us!
"It's four people, Cheng Zhi, and there are two more on the American side." Hua Botao coughed lightly.
"Rest easy, comrade. First of all, I don't think that being about five centimeters above sea level will make you lose your advantage in small areas. Then, when we first talked about the definition of power armor, we mentioned five aspects. Indeed, whether it is the improvement of energy, defense or attack power, individual combat equipment has suffered a bottleneck, which makes our current individual exoskeleton a complete chicken rib - let's ignore the successful application of it by construction workers and urban management departments - the only Marine Corps that has completed the real equipment of everyone is mainly because of the function of an attached spacesuit. In fact, I always felt that the person who designed the exoskeleton was a madman, running at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and making the good road surface full of potholes, you don't know how to put a wheel on your feet...... Sorry I digress. β
You did say a piece of nonsense. I just want to know now what improvements this thing has compared to exoskeletons.
"Where to improve? Of course there is, how could it not be? We have revolutionized the entire combat system, and the most important of them is that," Huo Yongsi pushed his flat glasses, and then puffed up his chest proudly, which made everyone's eyes focus on him. Looking at the situation around him, he nodded in satisfaction and announced loudly:
"We, give it wheels!"
β¦β¦ If you want to die, just say it, for the sake of the organization's face, I will help, don't be so tactful, really.
"Stop, stop! Don't even get out of the joke? Seeing that the other party seemed to really have a tendency to make a move, Huo Yongsi hurriedly jumped back, "It's really not good to be like this!" If a high-level intellectual like me dies, it will be a loss to the country, right? β
β¦β¦ But I think it's a good thing for all of humanity. Alright, let's get down to business. What improvements are there?
"Ah, that's back to business. We have just mentioned five areas, of which it is unlikely that mobility will be basically improved, and only the last one is left - information capabilities. β
Information Capability ...... That's true. But is this kind of thing big enough to be equipped with an information system that can surpass armored vehicles? And I always feel that the function of the individual combat unit should be more than enough, and I want to further improve it......
"Imagination is not rich enough, comrade. Without considering the cost, it is actually very easy to improve the information warfare capability of individual soldiers. Huo Yongsi smiled, "We have installed a miniaturized active phased array radar and a quantum communication system on it. β
"What?" When the text on the holographic screen was showing line by line, Helena first exclaimed, and she looked at the triumphant Huo Yongsi with incredible eyes, "Miniaturized active phased array radar and quantum communication system? Let's make sure that you mean a terminal rather than a base station by a quantum communication system, right? That is to say, it is still a satellite phone......"
"How is that possible, this foreign lady. If it's the kind of thing that's already rotten on the street, do I need to say it specifically? Glancing at Helena dissatisfied, Huo Yongsi snorted lightly with his nose, "What we stuffed in is the base station." β
"That ......" Hua Botao, who had been watching silently from the sidelines, raised his hand, "The old man who can't keep up with the times, I can't understand anything now." Mr. Huo, could you please give me some popular science? Base station, terminal, is there any difference between the two? β
Quantum communication methods are now divided into two types, the first is optical fiber quantum communication, which is mainly used in the information exchange of fixed terminals, and the second is the use of quantum repeaters, which is mainly used in the information exchange of mobile terminals, and most of the current mobile phones are used in this scheme. However, due to the fact that the latter needs to be equipped with a quantum repeater, a large base station acts as an information exchange point between many terminals, and the problem of communication distance, the network built by radio waves still has a place in the military network of the PLA, specifically, quantum communication can be generally used through the contact between advanced large nodes, such as the data link exchange between carrier-based aircraft of aircraft carriers, and the quantum repeater on the aircraft carrier and the small terminal carried on the carrier-based aircraft can be used. And because large ground units are easy to target, ordinary army units still use radio waves as a traditional and relatively reliable way of exchanging information. That's all I can say.
"Sounds like there's something else you know but can't say? Why not speak up? β
β¦β¦ I'm afraid you won't understand. If you insist, I can continue to type out what I know to you......
ββ¦β¦ Never mind. In a word, they stuffed the information equipment of an aircraft carrier into this exoskeleton. No wonder the cost is so high, it has become astronomical, and in the end, only two pieces of experimental equipment were made. β
"Whoever cares about the details is stupid. You've asked for it, and all we can do is get it out. β
Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder are not convinced. Details are very important things, it is related to a person's life or failure, and want to be
"Does this conversation make sense?" Knocking away the other party's hand, Huo Yongsi continued, "Besides, what do you have to complain about? Haven't we now transformed into research to reduce the cost of on-board quantum repeaters? Let's talk about the practical application value of these things. First of all, as a base station, this means that friendly units within a certain range can enjoy the communication speed, confidentiality and stability of the carrier-based aircraft data link, as long as it is set on the unit, and then use the satellite phone function - don't call me I know that there are only four of you who are basically not friendly forces, but the information exchange between the four of you is absolutely stable and confidential......"
I always felt that I had lost my language function and could only type, and I was completely ridiculed.
ββ¦β¦ It's a misunderstanding, trust me. Looking at the other party's gloomy eyes, Huo Yongsi felt a chill on his body, and continued, "But you must know that such a miniaturized quantum repeater is a great challenge, its range of action is very small, and you will have to use radio waves again after more than two kilometers." β
"I always feel that this kind of thing is useless to put on, so it is better to remove it. Isn't this something you guys came up with on a whim and found out that it wasn't useful at all? Helena gave her opinion.
ββ¦β¦ Illusion. The next thing to talk about is the active phased array radar, which is now mass-produced on small vehicles, and the Z-50 radar is of this type. Moreover, in addition to being able to undertake communication tasks and target detection tasks, this radar can also be used as an electronic warfare weapon and a microwave weapon for attack missions. Then there's the flight system, which I hate a lot, because I originally planned to miniaturize the Z-50 flight system to it, but unfortunately the budget seems to be a little insufficient, so I simply got a small jet aircraft. This thing is very unsafe when landing, so it is not recommended that you use it casually, but the enemy you are facing seems to be able to fly around, right? So if they don't come down from the sky, you can shoot up and fight in close combat, but again, be careful when you land. β
I began to worry deeply about the system's energy supply system. So much mess that it can really stand it?
"When everything is normal, you can work for seven days straight. After all, although there are no reactors installed, the amount of electricity that nuclear isotope batteries and superconducting batteries can store is not to be underestimated. To emphasize, if everything is normal, if you insist on turning the radar to the maximum power all the time to turn yourself into a mobile microwave weapon, I can't do anything about it. In addition, this kind of thing is designed according to the standards of spacesuits after all, and basically it can handle the environment you can encounter. Isn't there a gel layer inside the combat uniforms of the PLA now to ensure that soldiers can fight in various environments? We've made it a more temperature-adaptable area, what kind of cryogenic freeze or flame do your enemies often use? In this way, this thing should be fine in the face of low temperature, and if it is high temperature, it depends on the temperature and time, and all the instruments are working normally, and there is no problem in saving your life. To put it bluntly, you can wear this stuff and you can go straight to the fire. So, that's the point! Huo Yongsi clapped his hands vigorously, "After our staff members worked hard day and night to study diligently, we all agreed: Since this kind of thing must not be universally equipped with troops, it is a unique secret weapon......
It's unique, thank you.
ββ¦β¦ A unique secret weapon, since it's a secret weapon, there must be something like a trick to do it, right? That's why we came up with this! Huo Yongsi patted the "spacesuit" that should be worn on a mannequin, "Do you see this small hole in your right arm?" Under necessary conditions, it can eject a high-temperature plasma arc that lasts for five seconds and has a temperature of about 10,000 to 20,000 degrees Celsius! With this thing, even the external armor of the Z-50 will not hold up! β
So, what about its range of action and the number of times it is used?
ββ¦β¦ You can't get along with me, don't you...... The distance of action is five centimeters, and the number of times it is used up, thirty times will consume the electricity. β
Why is there such a strange existence as you in real life! What are you guys doing with all the taxpayers' money! It is ...... to be able to come up with such a thing that has little practicality and is basically zero cost performance.
"It's not easy, okay! Although this thing does seem to be a little less cost-effective, we have gained valuable experience in the miniaturization of many equipment through the development of it. In particular, the miniaturization of quantum repeaters and plasma spray guns......"
"Okay, okay, stop talking about things like this old man can't understand." Hua Botao picked up his teapot and took a sip of tea, "You have to try to adapt to the use of this equipment." One afternoon, set off immediately tomorrow morning, and there can be no further delay. β
β¦β¦ I went to the toilet first to calm my excitement and solve my physiological problems by the way. But as soon as I got off the plane, you brought me here, and then I met Miss Helena, and I didn't even have a little rest......
"You went to Mongolia with your own vacation, okay? You weren't given this task organizationally. β
The other person pouted and left the room. Helena looked at his back with some confusion, then shook her head.

"Reimu?" Hearing him calling behind him, Reimu immediately turned around: "Is there something wrong?" β
"It's okay." With a slightly swollen face, he smiled and handed over the phone, "Didn't you just say that you want to adjust your phone?" I've got it. The Japanese system looks a little awkward. β
"It's weird. Didn't you say that you don't know Japanese yourself? Taking the phone, Reimu tilted her head.
"It's a programming language, right? It's a cumbersome concept to talk about. I'll tell you about it later. Hey, wait, don't move. Suddenly, hearing the other party say this, Reimu immediately stood up straight. Still smiling, he took out a clean towel and wiped the black strip off the other party's face, "Girls should pay attention to this." β
"Hey...... Hey, I can do it myself! Snatching the towel, Reimu turned around, "Okay, okay, let's go, didn't you say that you still have to discuss with that group of people about going back to China?" Hurry up! β
"Well, we have to think about it now. I'll see you in a moment. β
"Ah, see you later." Feeling her heart beating, Reimu took a few deep breaths. Just as her mood had almost calmed down, the phone in her hand suddenly began to vibrate.
"Huh? What's going on? Is it a call? Following the prompts and swiping across the screen, Reimu put her phone to her ear, "Who are you?" Why call me? By the way, Sanae just said, you're not just selling things, are you? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Can you hear me? Or maybe my microphone is broken...... Oh, hung up. Looking at the phone in his hand, Reimu had a puzzled expression on his face, "What's the matter?" Is this what is called a spam call? β
