Chapter 37: Doomsday Warrior (Part II)
At the end of the concoction, Chu Tianjiang was already the first "Doomsday Warrior".
His entire body, except for his eyes, was covered in a layer of gray-black scales, or rather a garment made of nano-carbon fiber.
This outfit, consisting of an inner lining, an intermediate adhesive layer, and a functional part of the surface, is the essence of the Doomsday Warrior system.
The inner lining is made of an ultra-soft material that mimics the structure of skin tissue, which blends directly with the skin and becomes a part of the human body, with the full functions of the skin. The central control system is connected to the human body through the inner lining to collect and obtain the activity information of various parts of the human body. In addition to bonding the lining and surface, the intermediate adhesive layer also has a variety of functions such as reducing impact, regulating temperature and humidity, isolating external harmful substances, discharging metabolites, insulating heat and electricity, and resisting strong radiation, providing users with basic protection and creating a comfortable wearing experience.
The real key is the surface functional part.
At first glance, the surface is covered with some irregular scales. If you zoom in 10,000 times, you can see that these overlapping scales are all made of nano-carbon fibers with a regular hexagonal cross-section. Every seven carbon fibers form a bundle, and only the ends of the carbon fibers are exposed.
Most of the functions of the Doomsday Warrior system are provided by this polymer nano-carbon fiber.
To put it figuratively, if the inner lining and middle layer are considered to be part of the body of the Doomsday Warrior, then the surface function part is the countless carbon fiber hairs that grow on the Doom Warrior's body. These hairs not only provide strong protection against bullets, but also serve as the basis for enhancing the Doomsday Soldier's physical abilities, and even provide special features such as visible light stealth, infrared stealth, and radar stealth.
It can be said that the polymer nano-carbon fiber itself is the crystallization of human science and technology.
It was only after the development of this material that is 100 times stronger than alloy steel and as hard as diamond that the Doomsday Force project was officially launched.
In fact, the inner lining, the middle layer and the functional part of the surface are one and the same.
The roots of each carbon fiber are lined with direct contact with the human body to obtain bioelectricity from the human body. The part located in the middle layer has a self-replication function, that is, by replicating a part of the molecular structure, the carbon fiber is allowed to grow on its own, so as to repair the damaged part of the surface. The raw materials required for replication, mainly carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen, are provided by the body's metabolites. In the surface function part, the end shape of the carbon fiber is adjusted through the strength of the human biocurrent and the signal sent by the nerve center control system.
Next, Luo Jinyong spent about half an hour letting Chu Tianjiang test the three main functions of the Doomsday Warrior System.
The three main functions are: Defense Boost, Strength Boost, and Concealment.
Defense Boost is the basic mode of work, and the Doom Warrior system will always be in this mode when not using the other main features. In addition, Defense Boost is the only mode of operation that does not require energy consumption. In this mode, the molecules at the end of the carbon fiber are arranged in a dense structure with a strength equivalent to that of diamond, and it can be said that the end of each carbon fiber is a nanoscale diamond.
Extremely high strength, which gives the Doomsday Warrior system the ability to protect against bullets.
According to Luo Jinyong's introduction, the Doomsday Warrior system is able to block bullets with a caliber of less than 0.5 inches, as well as shrapnel from most shells. Even a large-caliber machine gun of 0.5 inches, such as the M2H, is only possible to penetrate the Doomsday Warrior system at a distance of two hundred meters. In addition to being bulletproof, combined with the cushioning capabilities of the middle adhesive layer and the inner lining, the Doomsday Warrior system is also resistant to sharp attacks.
It can be said that the Doomsday Warrior system itself is a set of full-body armor with excellent performance.
The Strength Enhancement mode requires energy, i.e. bioelectricity stored in the inner lining. In this mode, the user can do no additional operation, the nerve center control system can control the arrangement and combination of carbon fibers according to the signals sent by the user's brain, and amplify the force generated by the user's limb movement in a cooperative way. Due to changes in the arrangement of carbon fibers and the need to enhance the toughness of carbon fibers, the molecular structure of some carbon fibers will change, resulting in a decrease in protection.
In order to avoid the reduction of protection ability due to the activation of the force enhancement function in the heat of battle, the user can limit the increase of force according to the actual situation, so that only part of the carbon fiber changes the molecular structure, forming a balance between force and protection. For the same reason, when concocting the Doomsday Warrior system, the scientific advisors of various countries will set a maximum multiplier for the Force Enhancement function. After this enhancement rate is reached, the nerve center control system will automatically block the signals emitted by the user and no longer reinforce.
The maximum enhancement multiplier set by Luo Jinyong for Chu Tianjiang was within ten times.
It's just that Luo Jinyong left a secret door. That is, Chu Tianjiang can remove the restrictions of the nerve center control system on his own under special circumstances. Because the nerve center control system was designed by Luo Jinyong, there is no way for scientific advisers in other countries to make similar settings.
Luo Jinyong did not forget to tell Chu Tianjiang that lifting the restrictions would induce many serious consequences.
The Hide Whereabouts function consumes the most energy, and its main function is to allow the Doomsday Warrior system to blend into the surrounding environment through mirror reflections, etc. Relatively speaking, infrared and radar stealth effect is the most ideal, which can shield almost all infrared radiation or produce exactly the same infrared radiation as the background, as well as the electromagnetic waves emitted by the transmitted radar, so as to achieve infrared and radar stealth in the true sense.
Visible light stealth is not so ideal.
Although visible light can be transmitted to blend in with the surrounding environment, the invisible effect of visible light is greatly reduced due to the lack of transmission at the edges of the contour and the blockage of transmitted light when the user's limbs move. In other words, in visible light stealth mode, the Doomsday Warrior system is more obviously different from the background environment, which can be detected with a little attention and can be identified by careful observation, but the probability of being detected and identified is lower.
To achieve these functions, energy is required, that is, electrical energy that changes the arrangement and molecular structure of carbon fibers.
The Doomsday Warrior system does not have a power generation system or power supply system, and the electricity required is the user's biocurrent. The molecular structure of the intermediate adhesive layer is very special, and part of it has the ability to store electrical energy. In other words, each carbon fiber molecule is a small battery.
The next modulation is the holographic display system and the vision control system.
The two systems are integrated, i.e. the part that covers both eyes.
Instead of a screen, a holographic display system is a thousand tiny optical filters distributed at a distance of 0.5 centimeters from the pupil, a bit like the compound eye of an insect, or the T/L component of an active phased array radar. The filters are controlled by the user's optic nerve, and each of them produces 100,000 rays of light, which are projected directly onto the retina through the pupil, and the angle and intensity of the projected light are controlled to produce stereoscopic vision.
The user can change the focus point of the pupil and rotate the pupil to control the operation.
The most important thing is to modulate the auditory, olfactory, and taste systems, as well as to let Chu Tianjiang master the use of the respiratory system and bioenergy supply system.
The other three senses are modulated in a way that is not much different from vision.
The Doomsday Warrior system has a separate respiratory system and even has a limited oxygen production capacity. According to Luo Jinyong, in isolation from the air, the respiratory system can use the stored electrical energy to decompose carbon dioxide and provide users with oxygen for up to 15 minutes of normal breathing.
A bioenergy supply system is a non-feeding energy supplement system.
The system contains 4.5 kilograms of carbohydrates and amino acids, which is equivalent to the energy intake of a normal person in five days. Because it is not a food in the usual sense, it does not need to be absorbed by the user's digestive system, but is injected directly into the bloodstream by the nutrient control system in the inner lining.
Of course, if you carry food, or if you get it, you don't need a bioenergy supply system.
On these two systems, Luo Jinyong also made some tricks. The main thing is to prolong the oxygen supply time of the respiratory system by controlling the oxygen delivery program, and increase the reserve of the bioenergy supply system by one-third, and make it have the ability to produce carbohydrates by reversing the program, that is, using Chu Tianjiang's metabolites to produce carbohydrates used to supplement physical energy.
After completing the concoction and checking it from the beginning, Luo Jinyong used the mechanical arm to pull Chu Tianjiang out of the liquid, and then let him take off the Doomsday Warrior system.
So far, it took five hours.
"That's it?"
"Put your clothes on." Luo Jinyong threw the clean clothes that had been prepared to Chu Tianjiang. "Today is over. Wait until everyone is done with the concoction, and then do the acclimatization training. ”
"Where's the weapon?"
Luo Jinyong smiled and said, "Looking at your anxious appearance, are you still worried about not having a weapon?" ”
"Professor, even a medieval European knight must have a sword after putting on armor to be considered a true knight."
"Let's go, I'll take you to pick up a weapon right now."
"Pick?"
"There are only three basic models, and you can choose one of them and then choose the add-ons according to your capabilities. You're a sniper, and what you need is precision. ”
After Luo Jinyong left with Chu Tianjiang, Aldrich entered the concoction room accompanied by American scientific advisor Burke.
Chu Tianjiang successfully completed the modulation, dispelling everyone's doubts. Next, the nine special forces will be modulated in order according to the overall score ranking.
When he came to the weapon preparation center, Chu Tianjiang believed Luo Jinyong's words.
There is only one basic weapon, the "multi-function line-aim direct-fire firearm", but it is divided into a precision type, an assault type, and a fire suppression type.
The difference between the three models is not very large, not only does the same ammunition be used, but the common rate of parts is as high as 60 percent.
The main difference is in the specific performance.
In terms of accuracy, in addition to the retractable stock and elongated heavy barrel, there is also a ballistic computer with ammunition programming capabilities. The main function of accuracy is achieved by this computer. To put it simply, it is to improve the accuracy of the hit by controlling the trajectory of the warhead.
After aiming at the target, there is a locking program, and the fire control computer will automatically record the movement trajectory of the locked target within three seconds, and then make a prediction of the next direction of movement of the target, and input a ballistic control program for the programmable projectile, so that the projectile can accurately hit the target.
In the past, this work was done by snipers and relied mainly on actual combat experience.
In addition to the obvious advantage in long-range accuracy, the other performance of the precision type is terrible. In contrast to the assault type, the Precision version is not equipped with a high-muzzle velocity grenade launcher with a caliber of twenty mm, and therefore does not have surface kill capabilities. Compared with the fire support type, the precision type has a magazine capacity of only ten rounds, and it is a non-automatic bolt, and the fire suppression ability is several orders of magnitude.
Of course, all three models have their own characteristics.
The Assault model is more versatile, with a 30-round magazine and an automatic bolt and a 20mm grenade launcher for surface kill. In addition to the heavy barrel, the fire support type also has a capacity of 200 rounds, and the fire suppression performance is extremely strong. However, neither of these models can use programmable ammunition, and the effective range of the assault type is only 800 meters, so the long-range accuracy is not ideal.
As for the additional equipment, the main thing is a wide variety of sights, as well as tactical accessories.
"It's your standard weapon, but it's not your only weapon. You can use any kind of individual weapon if you like. ”
"Can I choose both?"
Luo Jinyong shook his head and said, "Each person only has one standard weapon, and each standard weapon has an identification device on it, and only one person can use it." ”
Chu Tianjiang didn't think much about it, he chose the precision type, which is often referred to as a sniper rifle.
"Now, hold the handle and hold it tight."
Chu Tianjiang found that there was a skin on the handle that resembled the functional part of the surface of the Doomsday Warrior system, and his biological identity information had been entered into the weapon's fire control system.
"Now, this gun belongs only to you." Luo Jinyong smiled and said, "The core of the weapon is the fire control system, but after the fire control system is damaged, you can use the password to activate the backup mechanical control device. It's just an ordinary sniper rifle, but it's better than turning into a burning stick. Keep in mind that the mechanical control system, after activation, causes the fire control system to self-destruct, i.e. destroys the central processing unit of the fire control system. As a last resort, it is not recommended that you use the machine control system directly. ”
"What's the password?" Chu Tianjiang saw that there was a row of eight rotating combination locks marked with numbers on the top of the grip.
"The year and month of the first mission you and Wu Haiyuan."
"Why isn't it my birthday?"
Luo Jinyong smiled and said, "Lao Chu, many people know about your birthday. If someone wants to deal with you, this password is too simple. ”
"What else do you have to think about?"
"Programmable ammunition is developed and produced separately, you and Halevy each have a thousand rounds, so don't run out of them during training. Of course, you can use normal ammo, but you don't have the programming skills, so you'll have to choose a fire control program that uses normal ammo. ”
"That's all?"
"Most notably, the weapon is not a subsystem of the Doomsday Warrior system, i.e. the weapon itself does not have the special functions of the Doom Warrior system. Normally there won't be much of a problem, but when activating the Stash mode, don't forget that weapons don't have this feature. ”
Chu Tianjiang nodded, he wanted to understand this.
"Now, put your weapons down. It will take another two days to complete the full modulation work. Wait until the Doomsday Force is officially declared to be formed, and you will not be able to take this weapon with you. ”
"So, what's next for me?"
"What, want to go home?"
Chu Tianjiang smiled, he really wanted to go home.
"You go and ask Lao Zhang, but I suggest you stay."
"Why are you staying?"
"I wrote a training program that could use an adaptive platform to simulate what the Doomsday Warrior system would look like. You're the first to complete the concoction, and today only you and Aldrich can concoct at most, meaning you have more time to get used to the Doomsday Warrior system. ”
"Does it matter?"
"The difference between using the Doomsday Warrior system and not using it is the difference between a baby who has just learned to walk and a 100-meter runner."
Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly and said, "Okay, I'll go to training now." ”
"In such a hurry?" Luo Jinyong laughed and said, "I have other things to deal with at night." Early tomorrow morning, I will ask Tong Shaowei to pick you up. ”
Chu Tianjiang knew that Luo Jinyong wanted to monitor Aldrich's concoction process throughout the whole process, so he didn't talk about it anymore.
Zhang Xiaogang also stayed in the scientific research center, and was jointly responsible for the assistance of the concoction with other commissioners, and I am afraid that the next two days will be very busy.
Back at the camp, Chu Tianjiang remembered that he had promised to call Janet.
Obviously, the night was not alone.
