Chapter 172, The Perfectionist

Looking at the slowly opening cockpit, Ding Xiu's eyes widened, wanting to see the true face inside this war mecha.

The hatch opened, and there wasn't much space inside, barely enough for one person. There is a screen on the left, right and directly in front of the driver's seat, and under the screen are a large number of buttons, Ding Xiu doesn't know what functions they correspond to, but it looks very complicated.

The two metal joysticks erected next to the seat aroused Ding Xiu's interest, and Chen Jianing saw that he was curious, so he explained to him: "That is the balance controller of the war mecha, which is roughly equivalent to the human brain stem, and the coordination of the mecha's movements in the march and battle is partly controlled by the computer, and the other part is controlled by the pilot through the balance controller. ”

"What about the buttons?" Ding Xiu asked.

"You can think of them as several modules, there are automatic cruise modules, navigation modules, communication modules, power modules, weapon modules and so on. These buttons are designed to control these modules and implement various functions. ”

"Sounds complicated." Ding Xiu's eyes were a little fascinated, although his head was daunted by the operability of this war mecha, but he was very eager to sit in it and drive it to gallop.

"Would you like to experience what it's like to drive it?" Chen Jianing seemed to see Ding Xiu's thoughts and asked with a smile.

Ding Xiu scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"The name of this war mech is the Ranger, and over there are 'Saber', 'Titan', 'Wanderer', 'Escort', and 'Phoenix'." Chen Jianing pointed out the names of the six mecha in the laboratory in one breath, and when she mentioned 'Phoenix', she took a special look, "Except for 'Phoenix', the other five war mecha are all Type I, and 'Phoenix' is more special, it is a Type II mecha." These mechs are currently in the final stages of testing and are not yet available to non-professional pilots. ”

"Understood." Ding Xiu nodded.

"But you can try the light armor over there." Chen Jianing proposed: "Those exoskeleton armors are currently not restricted in the laboratory. ”

"Really?" Ding Xiu was very surprised, and before the words fell, the person had already run towards the glass cabinet in the corner.

"Wait, you can't open the cabinet." Chen Jianing chased after him.

The two came to the glass cabinet, and the girl helped Ding Xiu open the cabinet and pulled out a half-human-high metal box from inside.

"The exoskeleton armor is inside." Chen Jianing patted the box and said, handed its handle to Ding Xiu, opened another cabinet by himself, and took another box out of it.

"Let's go to the training room, the use of individual armor here can easily cause problems for everyone, especially for beginners, it is actually not too simple." After she finished speaking, she led Ding Xiu out of the side door of the laboratory, bypassed a corridor, and came to a cement clearing.

"How do you use this exoskeleton armor?" Ding Xiu stood in the cement field, looked at the box in his hand and asked.

"You press the button on the opening of the box." Chen Jianing demonstrated it to him.

When the button is pressed, the box automatically opens, and inside is a backpack-like piece of equipment, its material looks very special, with a metallic luster in the sunlight and a far more flexible than metal.

"Carry this armor on your back first." Chen Jianing said, she had already put the backpack-like battle armor on her back. The suit looked heavy, but the girl didn't look struggling to use it.

The two put on the battle armor, Chen Jianing taught Ding Xiu to manipulate the control switch above in order, the switch was turned on, and I saw that four long arms-like things suddenly separated from the battle armor, which were aligned to the limbs of the person.

"These are the exoskeleton powerplants that are equipped on the Warframe." Chen Jianing said that he had already assembled these devices one by one to his hands and feet, and then moved a few times, looking for the movement of this armor.

"Is that all right?" Ding Xiu put on the armor like her, and felt a little uncomfortable, "hands and feet seem to be wrapped......

"It's just to wrap it, you know insects, insects have very hard exoskeletons, and they have obvious advantages, they are stronger than humans in terms of support, movement and protection. This exoskeleton armor is an imitation of insects, and when equipped, it is equivalent to adding a layer of exoskeleton to humans, which not only allows the wearer to increase their athletic ability and strength exponentially, but also effectively improves their protective ability. ”

"I see." Only then did Ding Xiu understand the usefulness of this set of exoskeleton individual armor.

When he put on this set of equipment just now, although he didn't feel heavy, his hands and feet were wrapped, which made him a little uncomfortable.

"You can try exercising." Chen Jianing said, she herself moved.

Ding Xiu took two steps around, and sure enough, he felt very different.

"Really." He tried to jump, and found that his legs were using the same force as usual, but the height of the jump was almost doubled.

"Wow~" Ding Xiu exclaimed, he stared at Chen Jia, and was about to share his surprise, his eyes suddenly froze.

He saw that Chen Jianing was turning the tire with one hand very easily, and the diameter of the tire was almost as tall as hers.

"This ......" Although Ding Xiu was sure that he could turn over such a big tire, he knew in his heart that he would never be as easy as Chen Jianing, "It's amazing!" ”

"There's room for improvement in terms of strength." Chen Jianing clapped her hands and said to herself: "Lifting 200KG with one hand is definitely not the limit. ”

She had just been immersed in the test of the data, and she didn't notice Ding Xiu's situation.

"Jia Ning, this armor is too good." Ding Xiu shouted at Chen Jianing.

He experienced it himself just now, and he only felt that the exoskeleton individual armor was very powerful, but after seeing Chen Jianing's actions, he realized that he was a small man.

"Huh? What's so awesome? Chen Jianing's attention hadn't turned yet.

"This exoskeleton is a single soldier armor." Ding Xiu looked excited and ran to Chen Jianing's side, "It has improved the ability of the human body too much, and it is a bit beyond my imagination." ”

"Huh, huh?" Chen Jianing laughed.

"Look at the move." The girl's hands suddenly tugged in the exoskeleton armor, and two multi-barreled machine guns suddenly protruded from the "backpack"-shaped equipment behind her, which appeared above her shoulders at a very rapid speed, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed directly at Ding Xiu's head.

"Wow!" Ding Xiu was startled, but he didn't make a dodge move, because he knew that the girl would never shoot at him, which had been confirmed when he was in distress in the desert.

"No bullets! Hee-hee. Chen Jianing smiled mischievously and put the gun away again.

"How?" Ding Xiu asked.

"If you stretch your hand straight, can you hook a tab between your index and ring fingers?" Chen Jianing's fingers moved and demonstrated to him.

"Yes."

"Pull." The girl shouted.

With a "bang", two more barrels and several guns immediately rose from the armored equipment on Ding Xiu's back, and the speed and movement were exactly the same as Chen Jianing's armor just now.

"What about shooting?" Ding Xiu's face was excited, this kind of individual armor made him feel a different kind of combat experience.

The index finger continued to pull the tab, just as the trigger was pulled on a normal shot. If you need to shoot continuously, fasten the tab on your index finger all the way down. Chen Jianing said: "The average rate of fire of this set of armored multi-barreled machine guns is 600~800 rounds per minute, and the continuous firing time can reach about 10~15 minutes, so when actually fighting, you also need to carry additional ammunition boxes." However, the ammunition box that comes standard with armor is different from the one in the army, it can be mounted, like the knee side of our exoskeleton armor, which is the part where the ammunition box is usually mounted. ”

"The average rate of fire is 600~800 rounds per minute, and the continuous firing time can reach 10~15 minutes?!" Chen Jianing's introduction made Ding Xiu's face look surprised, and he asked: "This rate of fire and duration, is the material of the barrel bearable?" ”

Ding Xiu knows a lot about firearms, and he knows that in terms of rate of fire, the performance of this set of armor is only slightly better than that of normal machine guns, but no one with normal machine guns will fire continuously for 10~15 minutes, and even 5 minutes is rare.

There is no other reason, just because when the bullet is discharged, the friction between the bullet and the barrel is very large, and the friction of firing 200 rounds in a row can already make the barrel of the machine gun red and hot. Attempts have been made to shoot at a rate of hundreds of rounds per minute, but the result is not only inaccurate, but the barrel has even exploded.

"Of course I can stand it." Chen Jianing nodded, stretched out the multi-barreled machine gun behind him in front of him, pointed to several positions above and said: "This multi-barreled machine gun is far superior to ordinary machine guns in terms of material, and secondly, it adopts a multi-barrel mode in design, and the structure of the multi-barrel can successfully share the pressure of heating in the chamber, and a heat dissipation device is also installed on it." ”

"I see, it's so beautiful!" Ding Xiu couldn't help but praise.

"The design of exoskeleton armor is less than one-tenth the difficulty of the kind of war mechs you have seen in the lab before, and it has only one technical difficulty, which is to combine power plant with ergonomics. Wearing this set of armor is equivalent to us using levers to push the power plant system with manpower in everything we do, so that it can exert several times the power. ”

Chen Jianing tried her best to explain the principle in the most easy-to-understand words, which made Ding Xiu quickly understand the key.

Ding Xiu nodded frequently, and his admiration for the girl's attainments in this area has been raised from admiration to the height of worship.

"Jia Ning, you know so much about exoskeleton individual armor, don't tell me that you designed it?" Ding Xiu asked suddenly.

"That was my work last year." Chen Jianing nodded, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that it's not perfect enough." ”

"Not perfect enough? I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Chen Jianing's words surprised Ding Xiu.

"It's really not perfect, at least it's a lot short of my expectations." Chen Jianing nodded: "If it was perfect enough, it should have been installed in the army a long time ago." ”
