"Alright, here it is."
At noon, the sky was still a little dark, and the hazy and gloomy sky was not as clear as yesterday, which made people feel a layer of melancholy.
According to Chen Yang's previous order, the icebreaker finally stopped at sea and slowly stood still in the middle of the icy ocean, motionless, waiting for the next order.
EMER's team, with the help of the crew, quickly used the ship's machinery and equipment to transport a tall silver-white metal box to the edge of the deck and stopped in front of Chen Yang.
Putham stood aside, wearing a close-fitting nanofiber suit, chopping his feet on the spot a few times, and exhaling a long white breath, obviously not lightly cold.
"Let's get started."
With Chen Yang's nod, Putham put his palm on the palm print scanning screen in the middle of the metal box, and quickly verified his identity, and the metal box immediately slid open, revealing the lightweight power exoskeleton inside.
Compared with the first version of the exoskeleton armor made by Chen Yang five months ago, this second-generation exoskeleton armor not only uses more advanced aviation alloy materials, but also uses the best special alloys at present. The original height of 2.2 meters has been reduced to 1.9 meters, and even the thickness has been reduced after wearing, not only due to the material, but also dozens of sensors such as muscle sensors, angular orientation sensors, electromyography sensors, and ground pressure sensors. All have been greatly improved, so that they are many times lighter and more precise than before.
Of course, compared with the previous first-generation exoskeleton armor, this second-generation exoskeleton armor no longer has the luxury of using a room-temperature nuclear fusion battery as an output energy source, but is equipped with the latest nano battery technology, which is not as fast as the previous almost unlimited endurance......
However, compared to the current battery technology in various countries. The second-generation exoskeleton armor using nano-battery technology still extends the maximum range, at least at the maximum power output of electricity, the second-generation "Pioneer Power Exoskeleton" can ensure a range of five hours.
If you use the energy-saving mode, or engage in light combat, this exoskeleton will not be a problem to maintain a battery life of about three days after being fully charged.
Not to mention that this kind of endurance was originally used for special operations, even if it is a conventional war, it is many times stronger than those modern oil tiger war weapons.
With the help of the machinery inside the box. Putem Shun put on the second-generation power exoskeleton No. 4 prototype, and the screen lit up in front of him, and everyone appeared on the screen immediately.
Prototype 4 combines a lot of advanced technology, but you can see a lot of differences when you look at it from this screen. For example, Putem only needs to slightly shift his head to the right, and the screen on the right will soon extend his original horizon, instantly transmitting the scene behind him.
This means that Putem has a 360° screen with no dead ends. Instead of his original eyes.
Of course, the first time people who used prototype No. 4 did this. There will definitely be a lot of discomfort, but as long as you are familiar with it, this 360° screen without dead angles will bring you a huge help that is unimaginable.
After the calculation and monitoring of the individual exoskeleton-assisted computer, as long as the enemy is making dangerous moves from behind, then it will be recognized. It is used to remind the owner of the power exoskeleton.
This friend or foe identification function, friend or foe monitoring function, in the previous combat test, has reached an accuracy rate of 95%, and it can almost be accurately put into actual combat.
There are no combat-tested weapons. In Chen Yang's view, none of them are qualified weapons, so the first two prototypes No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 have been sent to the Middle East battlefield for secret practice to verify their role in actual combat.
Prototype No. 3 was left in the pyramid chamber to continue the next 100 routine tests and research on improvement options.
"BOSS, a qiē is OK!"
Putem moved slightly, and the muscles in his thighs instantly compressed together, pulling the tendon tissue to work, so that the pressure sensors distributed in the thighs were sensed and immediately transmitted back to the core processor.
The process was so fast that before anyone could react, the processor judged the user's intentions, and the motor drove the hydraulic system and took Putham out of the way.
"Sensor information collection is ...... normal"
"Processor Information Processing ...... Normal"
"Hydraulic system ...... normally"
"The thermostat system is ...... normally"
Putham tried out the No. 4 prototype many times, running a self-test program on the power exoskeleton while walking back and forth with ease.
"Boss, let's get started."
After the self-inspection was completed, and as soon as it was normal, Putham turned to Chen Yang and said.
"Well, let's get started."
Soon, two steel cables hung behind the No. 4 prototype, and the marine hydraulic crane slowly lifted the prototype, moved it to the sea water, and then slowly descended......
"Pop ......"
The thin ice floe was slightly bumped into by the prototype, and it immediately broke apart, allowing the prototype to pass through.
"4m, 3.5m, 3m, 2m, 1m ......"
"Okay, it's already in the water!"
"Code 233, what's going on?"
On board, its own professionals stare at the computer, nervously looking at the various detailed numbers on the screen.
"一qiē is normal...... No problem. ”
"-1m, -2m, -3m ......"
As the No. 4 prototype sank deeper, the crowd became more and more nervous.
Although the No. 4 prototype itself is designed to be waterproof, design is design after all, and no one knows if there will be any problems in the real situation.
Fortunately, from the number of the screen, I know that at least the No. 4 prototype, which has dropped ten meters so far, is still normal, there is no water penetrating into it, and the thermostatic system is also working normally.
So it's up to you to see what happens next......
The water pressure of more than ten meters underwater is not large, but if it is hundreds of meters......
That kind of water pressure is quite impressive.
As originally designed. The No. 4 prototype was able to withstand water pressure up to 700 meters underwater, but no one knew if it could actually reach this distance.
If something goes wrong in that situation, Putem is inside the prototype, then there is no hope of survival.
Therefore, dare to do this kind of practical yàn putem in person. The courage is also not small, which fully embodies the image of an excellent mercenary who dares to fight, and it is worthy of many people to learn his fearless spirit in depth......
Of course, if you ignore the next $50,000 reward......
It only takes one trip to do this kind of real yàn, and it takes about an hour or two before and after, to get a reward of 50,000 US dollars, which will indeed make many people's hearts flutter.
Mercenaries are all people who work with their heads in their hands, and they may lose their lives in the blink of an eye if they are not careful, and Putem has been on the battlefield for more than ten years. From Africa to the Middle East, from the Middle East to Ukraine, this kind of thing has been seen too much.
So he knew one thing deep down...... Money, it's all about fighting for your life!
The No. 4 prototype that entered the sea was still diving, and Chen Yang stood in front of the screen and looked at it for a while, then withdrew his gaze and turned his gaze to the horizon.
In that direction...... This is the target direction indicated by the cube.
Somehow, Chen Yang felt a vague sense of unease. Not because of the prototype No. 4, which is being tested in the sea, but in the direction in which the cube is pointing...... There was a feeling that made him uncomfortable. After careful consideration, I didn't find anything wrong.
Thinking of this, Chen Yang avoided the rest of the people and came to the front of the deck, and asked softly, "Screw Chief...... I felt like there was something unsettling about that place. ”
"Uneasy?"
The right hand did not change, and it vibrated directly in his eardrum: "What is uneasy? ”
“……”
Chen Yang shook his head. After a moment of silence, he said slowly: "Maybe it's my delusion." ”
Since he didn't even notice anything with his right hand, it must have been just a delusion on his part.
"Huh...... What's going on? ”
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the other side of the deck, causing Chen Yang to look back.
"What's wrong?"
"Boss. It seems that something is wrong with Putem down there. ”
Wang Rui saw Chen Yang walking back and hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Yang squatted down and looked at the military computer screen.
"There seems to be a problem with the signal transmission of the fiber optic cable...... We lost contact with prototype No. 4. ”
The engineer who operated the military computer was in a cold sweat and anxiously crackling on the keyboard, but unfortunately the number on the screen remained unchanged, and he had obviously lost his grasp of the situation in Putham beneath the sea.
Chen Yang looked at the number of frozen and unmoved above, 457 meters underwater!
"No more testing, let's pull the prototype up first."
Compared with the anxiety of the people present, Chen Yang was very calm, and directly ordered the crane to lift the prototype first.
The relevant personnel who received the relevant orders hurriedly began to operate the crane, and the steel cable slowly rose up, pulling the prototype below back to the sea.
However, despite the loss of contact with the bottom, the good news is that from the feedback from the crane, the prototype below the sea has not broken and fallen to the bottom of the sea, and is still attached to the steel cable.
This is a blessing in disguise.
It took fifteen minutes to land, but it only took seven or eight minutes to pull back to the surface, and when everyone stood by the side of the ship and watched the nose of the No. 4 prototype emerge from the sea level, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Slow down, slow down......"
Directing the crane to move the prototype to the deck, Putham lowered the outer mask first, revealing the face inside the organic tempered glass.
"I'm fine...... It should just be an abnormality in the fiber optic cable that transmits the signal. ”
Putem was able to speak normally and said that he was fine, which really made everyone relax. (To be continued......)
