Chapter 539: Test Type 1
Next, Wang Jun jumped up and down a few steps.
Immediately, he walked around the newly circled courtyard downstairs of the laboratory and even trotted back and forth a few times, and he could clearly hear the sound of the mechanical joints maneuvering.
"We've made some simple changes to some of the key areas in our previous tests, which makes it a little more flexible than in the past!"
Next to Sun Cheng, a young researcher said with some excitement.
His name is Zhen Dao, and he is one of the two doctoral students transferred by Sun Cheng from Professor Chen Yuan, a young man who has a fanatical love for mecha products far beyond Sun Cheng.
After the two exoskeleton mechs were sent to the laboratory, he was the first researcher to take the initiative to apply to join Sun Cheng's team, and he was also the first person to apply to wear mechanical exoskeleton armor and test its performance.
Sun Cheng is very optimistic about Zhen Dao, a high-achieving student who graduated from mechanical manufacturing, has already gotten up and tested it twice in an exoskeleton mecha, put forward a number of improvement plans, and personally modified several joint positions, so that the sensitivity of the 'Test Type 1' has been slightly improved compared with before.
Don't underestimate this improvement, for a young man who has only been in contact with mecha for about ten days, it is enough to see Zhen Dao's talent in this area.
Immediately after, Wang Jun jumped up and down like a boxer, then left hook and right hook, bowing straight punch.
Not to mention, this guy fights well, I guess I should have watched some boxing match videos.
Under the vigorous exercise, the friction sound of the armor joints of the mechanical exoskeleton on his body continued, but there was no problem.
The applause kept ringing, but large beads of sweat began to appear on Wang Jun's face, and people began to gasp for air.
"Okay Xiao Wang, stop playing...... The exoskeleton armor only allows you to reduce the burden when carrying heavy objects after wearing, and you are not carrying any heavy objects on your body now, and this set of armor weighs more than ten kilograms! ”
After letting Wang Jun rest for a while, Sun Cheng said, "Let's take a weight test!" ”
The mechanical exoskeleton armor in Sun Cheng's plan was originally intended to be developed only for military use.
However, recently, other researchers in the [Intelligent Machinery Laboratory], especially Zhen Dao, have repeatedly proposed to him that the civilian version that can be developed and extended, and even wrote a discussion and plan in the civilian field, which made Sun Cheng reflect that in the civilian field, mechanical exoskeleton armor is also promising.
For example, in the medical field, different types of mechanical exoskeleton armor can make patients with muscular dystrophy diseases such as ALS regain the ability to walk, and even some disabled people may regain the ability to walk and work.
In the industrial field, workers equipped with mechanical exoskeleton armor have the ability to easily lift tens of kilograms of heavy objects, and even after continuing to improve it, it is not difficult for this carrying capacity to exceed hundreds of kilograms.
However, in modern times, human beings have invented industrial handling vehicles such as forklifts, which can easily carry tons of goods.
Although forklifts also have places that cannot be taken into account, Sun Cheng is not very optimistic about the competition between mechanical exoskeletons and industrial handling vehicles in this field in a short period of time.
Overall, however, he supported the research team in conducting in-depth research.
The function of industrial handling vehicles is too simple, and there are various limitations.
However, with the example of various industrial robots created by Decepticon engineers, the prospect of more mature technology can still be expected.
Xu heard that he was going to test the mechanical exoskeleton armor again, and some researchers in the research group of other topics in the [Intelligent Machinery Laboratory] also ran out of the office building when they had free time, and many people quickly surrounded the small courtyard below.
Sun Cheng glanced at all familiar faces, and the few veterans who had just taken up their posts outside the laboratory were still dutifully on duty outside, so he didn't give away the onlookers of others.
In one corner of the small courtyard, four alloy chests filled with masonry were neatly arranged.
It was specially put there to test the 'Test Type 1' exoskeleton armor, and each alloy crate filled with masonry weighed about thirty-eight kilograms.
Wang Jun seemed to be gradually getting used to the 'Experimental Type 1' exoskeleton he was wearing, and after hearing Sun Cheng's request, he answered and walked towards the four metal boxes.
Because you are wearing a device similar to an alloy glove on your hand, it is inevitable that you will have an unstable grip due to friction if you want to carry things normally.
The research team has already discovered this phenomenon, and Zhen Dao plans to redevelop the original alloy gloves in the next stage, polishing metal particles or carving patterns on the fingertips and palms to prevent slippage.
Until then, in order to prevent this phenomenon, the four alloy boxes in the small courtyard were specially made to order, with special clasps on them.
The alloy box, which weighs about 38 kilograms, is not heavy for the 'Test Type 1' exoskeleton armor.
Like a robot, Wang Jun walked awkwardly to the boxes, bent down to pick up one of the boxes, and lifted it with great force.
"Drink!"
He snorted softly, and then his face was embarrassed.
"Well, I feel like the exoskeleton should add some gravity to both arms......"
Nearly 40 kilograms of weight, an adult male can hold it.
It's just that a science and engineering man like Wang Jun, who doesn't like sports very much, is still a little struggling.
In fact, this can be regarded as a shortcoming of all mechanical exoskeleton armor on the market, including the HULC in the US military test, the weight is mainly reflected in the back, relying on the mechanical spine and several steel shafts on the back to increase the negative gravity, and the enhancement of the hands is limited.
"Rest assured, we've recently been thinking about adding a driveshaft ...... to both arms."
Zhen Dao said with a smile on the side.
"If the material box is changed to a metal type, we can actually design an electromagnetic adsorption system for it, and the increase in arm force is more obvious than that of the drive shaft!"
No one on the side laughed at Wang Jun, and the researchers who had already worn 'Test Type 1' before had all reacted to this problem.
We are really thinking about how to improve the 'Test Type 1'.
Sun Cheng is very satisfied with this atmosphere, and the wisdom of one person is indeed stronger than the wisdom of one person.
He had thought a lot about it before, but there were still various problems with the 'Test Type 1'.
Some of these problems have been identified and begun to be solved, and various suggestions for improving the mechanical exoskeleton armor are constantly increasing.
That's a good start!
Wang Jun wore 'Test Type 1' and moved back and forth for more than an hour according to the tester's instructions before he was so tired that he sat on several alloy boxes like a dead dog.
"That's all for today's test, we have recently discovered a lot of problems with the 'Test Type 1' mechanical exoskeleton armor, and there are still areas that need to be improved."
"The first phase of testing is here first, and over the next month, I need you to solve as many problems as possible and further refine them......
"If you still have the energy to spare, there are enough materials and equipment in the laboratory, which is completely enough for you to DIY a new set of mechas!"
"Of course, due to the principle of confidentiality, the all-electric drive system, lithium-air battery and control chip will not be open to you for the time being."
"But in the future, I will continue to open more core technologies to you, so be it!"
