The long bus slowly left the main road and turned into the tree-lined path, and the light was scattered through the branches, revealing a mottled and messy feeling. ☆ → top ☆ → point ☆ → small ☆ → said,

November is still sunny and pleasant, but not as hot as midsummer, making it the most suitable season for the human body.

Eugene with curly hair and a shaggy beard? Whitler was the first to jump off the bus, stretched impatiently, and then opened his suitcase and pulled out his backpack.

"Hey! This place is awesome! Look at the weather and the scenery! It must be said that although this project is not very good, the benefits are really good. I've had enough of that hellish place in Bethesda, it's cold and wet, and all day long like little bugs are burrowing in and out of your bones, knocking on your bones and sucking your blood. ”

Tall and skinny Faulkner? Wordsworth took his friend's luggage, scratched his head, and yawned.

"Don't say it so disgusting! Man, I'm not as optimistic as you, and the most terrible thing is that it took a year or two to find out that it really didn't get anything, and in the end I made a bad deal that couldn't be up to the bottom, and all my hard work was in vain. ”

Carmen, head of the Lockheed GIPA (Spectre I Implantable Power Armor) project? Hawthorn walked over quietly, stood behind the two of them with an expressionless face, and said in a deep voice:

"I remember that both of you seem to have a few records of absenteeism and violations, if you are objected to by the partner again, I will not resist the pressure to defend with the other party, I am afraid that you will have to save a bonus for this unworthy project, and the corona company will probably be very happy."

Eugene and Faulkner were taken aback by this cold remark at the same time, and looked back to see that it was Carmen, the top boss? Hawthorn breathed a sigh of relief.

Eugene smiled and said, "Boss, don't do this. We're just telling the truth. Do you have confidence in this project? Come on. There is a limit to the adaptability of the human body. Smart machines are the right way to go. ”

"Don't forget, drones also still need people to give orders." Carmen? Hawthorn looked unmoved and responded lightly.

"Who doesn't know that it's because of the pressure of public opinion, the last resort. Otherwise, with the current level of development of artificial intelligence, it will be completely able to identify targets on its own and carry out precision strikes. "Eugene? Whitler continued to argue with his face salivaed, showing no fear of his immediate boss.

"It makes sense, since you're so sure, then it's up to you to negotiate with the corona's people."

Carmen? Hawthorn nodded. The lazy rogue subordinate smiled and added, then nodded with his chin to the security personnel of the fortress company who had always been expressionless by the side.

Eugene? Whitler stole a glimpse of these big men with a fierce aura and immediately wilted. He's not stupid, Lockheed has so many military projects, and he doesn't deal with security personnel with military backgrounds for a day or two, and at a glance, he knows that these people in front of him are the same kind of people as he has seen before - cold, hard, tough, unemotional, and more mechanical than robots, so he won't be bored with himself.

I am a civilized person, why should I go toe-to-toe with these barbarians. Eugene muttered as he was pulled forward by Faulkner into the experimental building.

Carmen? Hawthorn looked at the two subordinates and shook his head. He sighed slightly. It's not because these two thorns are looking for trouble all day long, although he has a calm temperament, he always agrees with a point of view: the active nature of scientific researchers cannot be suppressed, which is conducive to their creativity, and many times, the accidental inspiration of one or two geniuses is worth the hard work of countless people for many years.

This is probably also the reason why he has not made much progress in scientific research and scholarship in recent years, but as a scientific research team manager, Carmen has become more and more handy, whether it is dealing with people or controlling these thorns, he is more like an executive than a scientist.

He is also not optimistic about the so-called power armor project, not only for the project proposed by the Corona company, the key is that the human body has its limitations, which has been the conclusion of many years of research. As an old man of Lockheed, Carmen? Hawthorn has spent time in the Bomberhulc basic series of individual exoskeletons, Fortis/dual-use exoskeletons and other teams, and even served as the leader of the research team, but the final results have been minimal, although there are unsolvable power system problems, the human body is completely unable to keep up with the mechanical reaction, and the lack of endurance is also an important reason.

For example, if the human body is in a vertical state and the gravitational acceleration is 4 to 5 g for 5 to 10 seconds, it will cause tubular vision, followed by dizziness, nausea, and even loss of consciousness. The most representative is the roller coaster that most people are familiar with, when rushing over the highest point and swooping down, the gravitational acceleration can also be close to this value, and the seat must be specially designed so that people will not faint.

Of course, the performance of top fighter pilots is definitely stronger than that of ordinary people, especially after targeted training on centrifuges, the natural tolerance to withstand gravity is greatly improved, supplemented by "gravitational acceleration suits", which can stay awake at an acceleration of 6 to 9g, but this is already the limit.

The sixth-generation fighter can basically reach a speed of more than Mach 6 in the design and planning, and this continuous ultrasonic flight will bring the pilot an extreme overload of more than 10g, which no pilot can withstand at all, and the so-called manned sixth-generation fighter will lose its meaning. This is also the key reason why the United States gradually gave up the order for the fifth-generation fighter F22 Raptor and turned to focus on the research and development of more powerful UAVs.

In contrast, drones supplemented by artificial intelligence do not need to consider the pilot's endurance, as long as they desperately seek breakthroughs in the materials and structure of the fighter. At the same time, there are many advantages such as faster response speed and accurate operation.

This is also Carmen? The reason why Hawthorn and Eugene, Faulkner and other outstanding researchers gave up on joining the TALOS (Tactical Raid Light Armor) mega project - not optimistic. But in any case, the TALOS project, led by the military and a collaboration with a number of giant companies such as Lockheed, Raytheon, General Dynamics, etc., at least looks more promising than this so-called implantable power armor, unless Corona makes a breakthrough similar to the military's "super soldier" program, but is that possible?

After decades of research by the United States and DARPA, they have only made a few breakthroughs in reducing sleep demand and enhancing endurance, and it is difficult to talk about creativity. (To be continued......)
