Chapter 178: Power Plug-in... The role of the exoskeleton

The Great Snow Mountain Outpost, 4,655 meters above sea level, is built on the tip of a snow-capped mountain and is surrounded by nearly vertical cliffs.

Locals say it's a place where eagles can't fly, and border guards call it a "cloud outpost", which sounds beautiful, but the environment is really bad.

Even in the middle of summer, the snow often dances in the wind, and large snowflakes fall down, and people shiver from the cold.

There are two seasons a year, the snow season and the rainy season, from November to June of the following year, the mountains are covered by heavy snow, and the wind above level 6 blows for 300 days, and the temperature can reach minus 40 degrees Celsius at the lowest, and the maximum temperature in summer is not more than 5 degrees Celsius.

It's July now, and in the middle of summer at the foot of the mountain, the temperature here at noon is only 3 degrees, and the night is still below zero.

The patrol road of the soldiers at the Daxue Mountain outpost is not long, but it is full of dangers, especially in winter, the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature, the thicker the snow, and the more dangerous the road.

Sometimes, half of your leg can sink into the snow with one foot, and if you accidentally step on it, you may fall into the valley.

This is also a thunderstorm area, every day at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on time thunder, thunder one after another, it takes 2 hours, in the previous post construction is not perfect, the soldiers have to hold all the electrical appliances collectively sitting on the bed.

This place is an extreme environment, so the test site of the dynamic exoskeleton is placed here, if they are not in a hurry, it is estimated that they will come back in winter, when the environment is even more extreme.

At the beginning, the old squad leader of this outpost was a little overwhelmed, and his superiors ordered him to cooperate with the test team, but he didn't know how to cooperate at all.

Later, I learned that it was still a normal patrol, but it was necessary to wear a powered exoskeleton.

Then it's okay, patrol the top of the snowy mountains and they're good at it.

And there is such a thing as a dynamic exoskeleton, they are also very curious.

I've only seen this thing in science fiction movies, but I didn't expect them to see it alive today... I saw it for real.

I thought that this kind of thing could only be equipped by special forces, but I didn't expect them to have a share.

With such a good opportunity, the squad leader naturally let it go and let the young soldiers in the outpost be equipped for testing, because according to the testers, these exoskeletons can make their patrols easier and more dead-free.

He'll be in the rear, and he'll be in the rear.

As a result, the fighters had just been out for half a day, and another group of testers came, and it was said that the level was higher than that of the previous batch.

At first glance, the leader turned out to be a young man.

Before he could think about it, Zhao Li introduced him: "Comrade Tang Chao, the provider of the first version of the power exoskeleton technology, is also the chief technology officer of the Navigator Company. ”

Got it!

Whether it is a technology provider of a powered exoskeleton, the squad leader does not know, but when it comes to the Navigator Company, the squad leader still knows.

A few months ago, Tianxia's Long March 9 made its first successful flight, and the payload was the Navigator's Yuegong-2 lunar experimental module, and he had really seen the chief technology officer's company on TV.

Very handsome lad.

If you don't say it, no one will think about it, but if you say it, look again......

Hey, it's like!

I thought that this big guy was just curious to come up and take a look, and then he would return to the convoy at the bottom of the mountain, but I didn't expect this big guy to follow the patrol team to carry out patrol tasks.

Let's start tomorrow's patrol mission.

Zhao Li was also shocked, Tang Chao, Tang Chao, what are you going to do!

Tang Chao doesn't care, he's going to go, he watched the previous documentary, and the reporter can follow him all the way, so can he.

He wanted to see for himself how the mechanical exoskeleton would perform in extreme environments.

The men couldn't resist him, and after listening to the test mission report after the patrol soldier returned, they had to agree.

Two powered exoskeletons were brought down from the mountain, and Zhao Li would go with him tomorrow.

Otherwise, the soldiers on patrol wore the tested powered exoskeleton, and the testers who followed them would not be able to keep up without wearing them.

After confirming the news, Tang Chao was very happy, and he used the things he brought to eat that night.

All kinds of pastries, eight-treasure duck, crabs, seafood, etc., are not eaten on the top of the snow-capped mountains, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits, so that the soldiers have a year ahead of schedule.

The mission report is the formal kind, and the fighters use a chat to talk about the test process on the first day when they eat.

Tang Chao could see that the soldiers all had smiles on their faces, obviously today's patrol was different from their usual patrols, it was much easier, and they liked these power exoskeletons very much.

At night, although there were extra beds in the outpost, there were not many, so only Tang Chao and the others lived here.

The testers who came early came down the mountain before it was dark, and they had thought about the accommodation before they came, and it was no problem.

After breakfast the next day, Tang Chao joined the growing patrol team and embarked on his first patrol on the top of the snowy mountain.

After setting off, Tang Chao learned that the previous documentary only recorded a small part of the patrol road, and most of them were confiscated.

They set out from the post at an altitude of more than 4,600 meters, descended to the top of the mountain to 4,000 meters, and then went up again, following the path that the soldiers had stepped on before, until they reached an altitude of 6,500 meters above sea level.

Along the way, they passed bottomless mountain streams, climbed towering snow-capped mountains, inspected base stations and antenna equipment, and observed the opposite Asan's outpost at a fixed location, less than 30 meters from the nearest place of the national border.

In the second half of the year, the weather started to deteriorate, and it was snowy all year round, but now it is even worse when the wind blows and the snow falls.

However, I heard from the fighters that the power exoskeleton helped a lot, and if it was before, they could be in danger.

First of all, the powered exoskeleton gives them a boost, reducing their physical exertion and giving them the energy to cope with any situation.

The powered exoskeleton then increases their weight-bearing capacity, allowing them to carry more equipment and supplies on their backs, ensuring that they can cope with any situation.

To increase the weight-bearing capacity, they have to wear body armor every time they come out, carry guns and ammunition, etc., and carry a single soldier and a single unit.

The communication conditions in the Daxue Mountains are very bad, so the individual radio station is also relatively large, and it is not easy to patrol the plains with a weight of twenty or thirty catties, plus other things, and a weight of dozens of catties, let alone on the snow-capped mountains at an altitude of five or six thousand meters.

Low temperatures, snow, wind and snow, low pressure, lack of oxygen, etc., are their "enemies".

Now equipped with a powered exoskeleton, it is also specially designed for snowy mountains, when walking to a place where the snow is very thick, the feet can open the folding panel to form a snowboard, so that the soldiers can easily walk on the snow without having to wade through the snow manually.

With the support of a powered exoskeleton, the weight of the individual radios is not a problem, and they can even increase their equipment.

For example, military six-rotor drones suitable for the environment of plateau snow mountains.

This kind of drone and control platform are relatively heavy, can reach more than a dozen kilograms or even heavier, and cannot go far if carried by a single person.

However, they need drones for patrol work, because the mountains are rugged and steep, some corners will form dead spots, some places can venture down, and some places can not even go to them, so they can only be empty.

The superiors once equipped them with drones, but the small drones are not suitable for the plateau environment, and even fall when the wind blows.

Large drones are okay, but large drones are too heavy, and the radios they carried on patrol before have to be carried in turns, plus heavy large drones and operating systems, then they can only find a place to squat.

Well, now the powered exoskeleton is here, and all obstacles are wiped out.

The warriors stayed on the plateau all year round, and everyone's face was tanned, but their teeth were bright.

In particular, when they observe the blind spots before the drone inspection, they will all smile, and everyone's teeth are brighter than the snow on the mountain and the light in the sky.

However, Tang Chao felt that their hearts were brighter!

Because he knows that the fighters are not happy to play with drones, but only to observe blind spots that were not previously observed.

They have defended every centimeter of land for the motherland!
