Chapter 50 Application of New Technologies

After redeeming these two new technologies, Qiao Lu received another phone call, and this time it was Dr. Grace.

"Mr. Qiao Lu, can you come to my lab? We've made a new discovery! ”

It seems that the exchange effect of this technology has been immediate, so let's go over and see the results yourself.

Qiao Lu soon arrives at Dr. Grace's lab and meets with the group of researchers from the world of Avatar.

In order to facilitate their continued research, the Coalition Government has moved almost their entire lab from Pandora to Wandering Earth, so it looks like they are still in the Hell's Gate military base.

Therefore, Qiao Lu often has a sense of dislocation of time and space when he comes here, as if he has never left the world of Avatar.

Dr. Grace came up to greet him and said, "Thank you for coming, Mr. Joe. We've just stumbled upon a material that can be used to mimic the neural interface effects of the Na'vi. So we're going to try to put it into practice right away, and I hope you'll come and see the results. ”

Sure enough, it was the special event triggered by the system that took effect.

For Dr. Grace, the discovery was an accident, but for Joelly, it was a necessity.

"Very good, let me see the results."

There is no need for Qiao Lu to reveal these details to others, just see how this technology works.

So a soldier walked out at the signal of Dr. Grace, and as soon as he saw Qiao Lu, he immediately saluted respectfully:

"Hello sir!"

This soldier was a wounded soldier who had participated in the Battle of Pandora, so he naturally recognized Qiao Lu as a commander.

It's just that the right arm he lost in the Battle of Pandora has been replaced with a silver mechanical prosthetic at this time.

He used this mechanical arm to salute at this time, and there was nothing unnatural about his movements.

"I remember your name is Nie Wei, how is it, is the new arm still good?" Qiao Lu asked the soldier.

Nie Wei replied, "It's better than my original hand, sir." In addition to the lack of touch, there is no inconvenience in moving. ”

Dr. Grace explained, "Because this is done by adding a neural interface to the old mechanical prosthesis, the haptic system has not yet had time to be done. However, there is definitely no problem with the activity, and the strength is several times stronger than that of ordinary people, that is, it needs to be recharged regularly. ”

Judging from Nie Wei's performance, this mechanical arm has indeed become a part of his body, and he can move any finger he wants, even playing the piano.

"Very good."

Qiao Lu said happily that with this mechanical prosthetic, the disabled people who wandered on the earth could return to their normal lives.

Especially a war wounded like Nie Wei can even go directly back to the army to continue his service.

The technology that can restore the disabled to the workforce is already worth a thousand dollars.

Dr. Grace continued, "Neural interfaces are not only used for robotic prosthetics, but also have great potential for machine operation. ”

She gave Nie Wei a look, and the latter walked into the room beside her.

Hearing the sound of footsteps roaring like an earthquake, Nie Wei actually drove back with an AMP mecha captured from the RDA military base.

"Oh, it'sβ€”"

To Qiao Lu's amazement, the cockpit of this AMP mech has undergone a massive transformation, no longer exposed through glass, but completely sealed under the armor.

Instead, the pilot was given an active camera at the head of the mech, which rotated like an eye.

Dr. Grace excitedly said, "This is an experimental AMP mech that we had conceived before, and now it can finally be realized. The transformation we made is actually very simple, that is, the original manual bridge has been changed to a neural connected bridge, and the image data collected by the camera can be directly transmitted to the driver's visual nerve. This way piloting the mech becomes completely immersive, and you don't need to use any more buttons! ”

The AMP mecha piloted by Nie Wei also reached out to greet Qiao Lu, as if the mecha had completely turned into his body.

"It's funny." Qiao Lu couldn't help but admire, but at the same time, he changed his words: "But will this cause any mental problems to the driver?" I don't want to make everyone schizophrenic. ”

Intubation in the back of the head will inevitably bring mental risks to the user, and whether there are side effects is what worries Qiao Lu the most.

"I think you could ask him." Dr. Grace said, looking at the AMP mech on the side.

Nie Wei opened the hatch of AMP and walked out of the mecha.

He said to Qiao Lu with a relaxed face: "I don't feel any problems at the moment, it's just that it feels a little strange when I connect with the mecha nervely. The body controlled by oneself has changed from physical to mechanical, and it is absolutely false to say that it will not be surprised. ”

It seems that this does make it easy for humans to drive bipedal manned mechs, and anything in human form can use this technology.

"Let's apply this technology to the operating system of the powered exoskeleton first." Qiao Lu finally came to the conclusion that "the matter of neural control of the mecha will be discussed until more data samples are collected." ”

After all, the Wandering Earth has no experience in manufacturing large or even medium-sized manned mechs until now, and even if this operating system is perfected, it will not be possible to build many combat mechs for a while.

On the contrary, all power exoskeletons only need to be equipped with a neural interface to greatly improve operability, which can be said to be the fastest way to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, which can meet their combat needs in the new world in a month.

If we can't survive the next world, we won't have a future.

"I understand, we'll arrange for the relevant trials right away."

Dr. Grace had originally called him over to ask for Qiao Lu's opinion, and after receiving the instructions, he immediately adjusted the direction of his work and began to study how to modify the power exoskeleton equipment on the wandering earth.

Seeing that Dr. Grace's research was in full swing, Qiao Lu didn't stay here to bother them.

Shortly after he left Dr. Grace's lab, another phone call came.

This time it should be the turn of the [Antimatter Power] side of the incident.

To Qiao Lu's surprise, it was actually Luo Yun, a female scientist she met not long ago, who called him.

"Hello, Qiao Lu, sorry to interrupt, I have something I have to discuss with you."

It won't be a major life event.

"Ahem, what's the matter?" Qiao Lu cleared his throat and asked.

"It's about your equipment, in the last Battle of Pandora, you showed amazing combat effectiveness. So the coalition government discussed and decided that let's build a new Warframe for you. ”

A new Warframe?

Qiao Lu remembered Luo Yun's identity as an expert in weapon manufacturing, after all, the ball flash rifle was designed by her.

It's nice for her to build a new armor for herself!

"So, what do you need to ask me about this armor?" Qiao Lu asked.

"That's right." Luo Yun took a deep breath and said, "Originally, we still planned to use nuclear power as the energy source for this set of armor, but recently we have made a breakthrough in antimatter power. Of course, antimatter power is much more powerful than nuclear power, but after all, the technology is not yet mature, and it will be accompanied by certain risksΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

The risk of using antimatter is of course much greater than that of nuclear power, and a gram of uncontrolled explosion of antimatter is equivalent to a hydrogen bomb.

This is almost equivalent to asking Qiao Lu if she is willing to entrust her life, not a simple scientific research and technology issue.

Luo Yun finally mustered up the courage to ask, "So we want to ask you if we are allowed to apply antimatter power to your new battle armor?" ”

"Do you still need to ask? I believe you. Qiao Lu replied without hesitation.

After all, this technology is also systematically certified, even if Luo Yun himself is not confident in this, Qiao Lu can be very sure that there will be no problem using antimatter power.

Besides, the antimatter-powered exoskeleton armor, this sounds cool, and there is no reason to refuse.

"Thank you." Luo Yun said gratefully.
