Chapter 203: Steel Superman

The next step for the winery is to prepare a new wine launch.

With An Feng's current status and connections, it is easy to invite some celebrities and big names to come over and cheer him on, and even if he wants to, many friends will be willing to buy his wines - even if the quality is terrible. However, after the high evaluation given by the master, the wine is not an ordinary product, and the market is naturally not a problem.

The marketing matter was handed over to Lin Hai, how to plan the press conference was left to Old John, and An Feng continued to be the shopkeeper, the only one who was only responsible for gathering friends from all parties. But he hasn't had an easy time lately, commuting back and forth between his home and the robotics company. But the effect of burning money and bottomless pit is shocking.

Colin. Hoffman, An Feng wondered if he was a machine under his skin, and he worked tirelessly and enthusiastically...... The boss likes this kind of employee the most, and the only thing he has is that he has no idea how to spend money. Some of them could be retrofitted by other departments, but he had to outsource.

In order to prevent Hoffman from going the wrong way, An Feng had to stare at the point.

Hoffman stepped forward with his baby: GP's customized tablet and discussed with An Feng: "Sir, I think the machinery at the calf can be streamlined, its force is mainly concentrated in the thigh, after streamlining the calf, it will have an impact on the sprint speed, but overall it is lighter." ”

An Feng looked at the drawings and thought, he didn't have a specific plan in his mind, he could only build ideas, so Hoffman's idea was very important. After reading it, he said: "This part continues to use titanium alloy, and the hydraulic system is not recommended to be reduced, because considering the weight-bearing sake, the exoskeleton of the calf is also very critical, you can't feel it in a light state, and if it is a weight-bearing sprint, the energy consumption will be higher." ”

Hoffman listened, nodded, and shook his head again to get to work.

……

Exoskeleton is being studied. At its core: powering systems, computers, and energy. These three things determine the advanced degree of the exoskeleton. The robot company is in a unique position, and the GP company has solved the two major problems of advanced computers and energy, and the only thing left is the power system.

The hybrid booster system designed by Anfeng himself uses hydraulic and electronic booster mixing, and the process is complex. For example, this thigh's booster system, which fits snugly against the outside of the thigh. The long, flat type, exposed mirror-like bright hydraulic rod, looks simple, but the interior is complex, taking into account the energy circulation.

There are many power assist systems, but it also consumes a lot of energy. If you want to work for ten or twenty hours continuously, there are two things: powerful energy, and energy-saving systems. Unilaterally increasing the battery capacity, the system is not energy efficient. The working time is still short, and it is not a qualified second-generation exoskeleton.

For this complex system, it took more than one million yuan to repeatedly develop it, and it also cost more than 100,000 yuan to manufacture these four finished products, and less than 10 kilograms of scrap iron were sold. It's inconspicuous and won't be picked up if thrown on the ground, but it's an exoskeleton pieced together by these systems. It represents the advancement of technology.

There are too many things ahead of their time, and the exoskeleton department uses new computers that have not yet been released. GP Energy's super battery, which will only be put into production in the future, as well as various confidential drawings...... In view of the need for security and confidentiality, Anfeng streamlined the organization and divided it into multiple departments, with the core department paying the most attention to confidentiality.

Working in groups is more efficient, and everyone hits the force. Finally, two months after the completion of the arm, the lower limb was designed. The weight of the exoskeleton is also mostly concentrated in the lower limb part, which is different from the upper limb, the upper limb considers the force, and the lower limb needs four power assist systems to take into account the weight and speed.

After the lower limb part is successfully manufactured. It's the turn of the overall splicing, it is not possible to spend more than ten minutes wearing it each time, An Feng requires that he must be able to put on the exoskeleton alone within three minutes, and disassemble it within one minute. Therefore, the modularity of the exoskeleton should be considered at this point.

Modularization is not too difficult, the hardest part they have already done, modularization is just equivalent to the later art. There was a design drawing, and it took three days to assemble it. When An Feng came to wear it again, this complete exoskeleton was already standing majestically on the ground.

An Feng put it on under the guidance of the technician, and Hoffman introduced next to him: "The data of our last weighing show that the exoskeleton plus the energy system of the back has a total weight of 25 kilograms, and the modular design can be put on and removed in a minute or two after several exercises." ”

This time, An Feng did wear it quickly, it only took three and a half minutes, and after the whole exoskeleton was put on, he had already become a strange man with iron on his body. It is composed of nine major power assist systems, namely two trapezius muscles, two triceps, spine, and four large and small legs.

There are a lot of small power assist systems, there are more than twenty sets of ten fingers, he raised his hand slightly, spread his palm, and clenched it into a fist, much easier than usual, but he was a little unaccustomed to wearing a layer of metal, and his body also increased out of thin air...... He took the first step in anticipation.

"For the basic daily movements, you can choose the second mode, which is the semi-energy mode, which lasts up to 40 hours," Hoffman said. ”

An Feng raised his left hand, and there was a touchscreen computer on his arm, on which he could select the mode, or unlock the exoskeleton module, as well as check the energy balance, the load of the computer, the work of several large induction systems, and so on. The screen is military-grade and very sturdy.

This time, I pulled out the data cable on my body, wore an exoskeleton and did some daily movements, walking, turning, and bending over...... Or play with mobile phones and the like, there is no need to deliberately grasp the amount of force, the sensitive feedback system has been able to distinguish 100% of the movements, making people feel the same as usual, but more effortless.

Hoffman saw that he was almost adapted, so he said: "Complex movements, choose the first mode, and the energy can work for more than 20 hours in the state of full energy consumption." ”

There are many complex movements, such as running, doing a little fitness, playing sandbags, etc. This time, An Feng felt different from the original world, when he ran, his speed would increase, but he didn't catch his breath. He ran around the field for a thousand meters in a row, and he didn't feel tired, but still relaxed.

The exoskeleton does two-thirds of the work, and running is now equivalent to a brisk walk, consuming less than 30% of the oxygen. Later, An Feng chose to run with a weight of 100 kilograms, the huge backpack was pressed on his body, and his feet became heavy when he stepped on the ground, but in the full energy consumption mode, it felt like he was carrying more than ten kilograms of items on his back, and he was a little heavy when he walked. But it doesn't affect his performance.

Take off the weight, sprint 100 meters in full mode, feel like a wind when you run, the exoskeleton of more than 20 kilograms on your body is as light as a feather, and when he sprints across the line, the data recorded by the stopwatch is more than 9 seconds. Before he knew it, he actually broke the record of Black Lightning Bolt!

"Is this true?"

An Feng breathed steadily and came to the technician holding the timer, the record of 9 seconds and 43 seconds was frozen, and everyone's surprise was completely written on their faces.

Hoffman was even scratching his head: "Is it more conducive to full play after the exoskeleton is integrated?" ”

An Feng thought about it and gave him a positive answer.

After continuing to try a few times, the outside field was wide enough, more than enough to run a hundred meters, and several sprints down. It can easily run in less than 9 seconds. If you also design an exoskeleton for Bolt, he will be able to run in 8 seconds...... You must know that the record he set is 9.58 seconds!

Then do the comprehensive test, such as weight sprint, obstacle run, flexible dodge moves, extreme jump, sprint jump...... A variety of actions that are used more in practice, with the help of exoskeletons. have improved significantly, and even An Feng exerted his strength to lift a nearly 3-ton pickup truck at the door of the factory.

An Feng hugged the bumper. The front wheels of the car are dangling and the rear wheels are on the ground. He turned to a group of well-headed, but average-bodied sorcerers and said, "How's it going?" ”

The big guy has nothing to say, and the effect is unexpectedly good.

In the World Hercules Championship, those super strong men are playing with cars like this, but their expressions are twisted together. But An Feng is relaxed. He lifted and lowered it several times in a row, and after standing up straight, there was still no sign of too much fatigue.

But he looked at the computer on his arm, and in this mode, the power would be consumed exponentially.

Hoffman did the math on the tablet. "If you insist on being Superman, the battery can last up to 10 hours. ”

"Not bad!" An Feng said with great satisfaction, what is the biggest problem with the exoskeleton developed by other institutions in the United States? It's energy.

No matter how they develop, the lithium-ion battery can last for dozens of minutes at most, which is completely slag compared to Anfeng's more than 20 hours. This is not only the power of the battery, but also his unique energy circulation system, the two-pronged approach is the key to low energy consumption.

An Feng also tried the most indispensable weapon link, which was naturally handy to play, and even quickly disassembled the pistol faster and more agile than usual. And the end gun shoots...... Just like the game is open, in full mode, the arms are not affected by much recoil at all.

Anyway, he held the gun flat and shot the bullets into the air. It can be inferred from this that even if it is an assault rifle, a light machine gun or something, it is difficult for him, and the very sassy dual-wielding AK shooting can also appear in life, and even the more exaggerated dual-wielding light machine gun is just a little electricity.

After the actual test, there are still many things that can be improved in the exoskeleton, such as using a helmet display system instead of an arm computer, adding a hanging point on the body, being able to wear body armor, making it easier to hang weapons on the exoskeleton, and enhancing the flexibility of the sole part, which can be more convenient to run.

If calculated according to the standard of a warrior, the exoskeleton is fully qualified, and even very strong, but the cost is very high, from the research and development to the present, more than seven million have been used, and if it is to be manufactured in the future, a set of exoskeletons like Anfeng needs to be tailor-made, and it will cost at least 1.5 million US dollars.

But that 1.5 million is just a cost, not a value, and as for the value...... The super battery that is significantly ahead of the world is now impossible to buy for 1 billion, and the strongest battery issued by GP Energy today, the endurance of the exoskeleton is about 5 hours, and the semi-consumption may reach 10 hours.

Anfeng does not regard the second-generation exoskeleton as the ultimate goal, nor does he plan to introduce it to the market, if it is used in small batches, it can equip its own security company, at least Guli is one of the volunteers, and the materials do not need to be top-notch, appropriately reduce costs, the original use of aviation-grade titanium alloy, next time it will be replaced with carbon fiber, or other alloys, as long as the total weight is controlled at about 40 kg.

In addition, the two batteries are core secrets, and it is impossible to leak them casually, which means that only the highest-level batteries released by GP Energy can be used to develop into battery packs, which can maintain operation for more than 10 hours in energy-saving mode. Even if it's a battle, you have to rest for more than ten hours.

With the charging speed of a graphene battery, it takes up to 30 minutes to fully charge...... Come to think of it, it's not bad to equip your own personal security with an exoskeleton in the future, or after Aegis Security develops PMC, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of employees, it's not bad to use a weakened version of the exoskeleton.

But come to think of it, there will be a lot of trouble with the use of this kind of machine involving the military field, the most obvious is the US government, their eyes are bright, especially this kind of advanced technology that affects the future, they will procure, and with a bunch of restrictions, it is not allowed to flow abroad.

Especially An Feng's set, the lethality is too strong...... He considered that even if he wanted to use it, he could only produce a weakened version, after all, this set is really difficult to make, although it is barely made at present, but some subtle parts in the research and development process are about to torture the CNC machine tool to death.

An Feng can't think of a good way, so he can't use it for himself, or turn to civilian use, and the booster system brought by the exoskeleton is also helpful for medicine.

PS: As far as the exoskeleton depicted by the author is concerned, it should be similar to Matt in the movie "Elysium". The one Damon wears, but it's not as rough...... It also did not develop to the point where Iron Man was covered in armor, so it is said to be a beggar's version, with only "bones" and no "meat". (To be continued......)
