Chapter 275 The Amphibian Version of the K-1 Mechanical Exoskeleton

Back in the room, Jiang Chen closed the door casually.

A jade hand rested on his waist.

Feeling the coolness, Jiang Chen smiled, reached out and gently squeezed Liu Yao's hand.

"Aren't you coming?"

"Can you still bear it?" Looking at those bright beautiful eyes, Jiang Chen smirked.

Thinking of the begging last night, Liu Yao blushed slightly, but she pretended to be calm.

"I can bear—"

"But I appreciate your expression of enjoying it more than enduring it."

A fleeting touch appeared on her face, Liu Yao pouted slightly and lowered her head.

"Thanks."

"Let's rest early tonight, I'm quite tired from playing in the afternoon." Jiang Chen smiled as he brushed Liu Yao's hair from her forehead.

"Yeah." With moist light shining in her eyes, Liu Yao nodded with her lips pursed.

Half because of money, half because of people, but no matter what, she really loves him. Although she knew that Jiang Chen only regarded her as a lover, she didn't care about anything.

She knew that his acceptance of herself might not have anything to do with love, and it might even be just a memorial to what he had regretted, a compensation for something that had passed away. That day by the artificial lake of Wanghai University, she appeared in front of him wearing a white dress and pretending to be a student. From the blurred eyes he looked at her, she read the meaning.

However, these are not important, she can still feel his tenderness if it is just a lover.

The only thing that scares her is that deep down in his heart, he just uses her as a tool to vent his desire.

Fortunately, it appears he did not...

 …

After taking a bath, the two fell asleep.

It was about twelve o'clock in the morning. Jiang Chen opened his eyes.

The sound of breathing coming from my ears is very even, because I spent too much energy during the day,

Liu Yao slept very deeply.

Gently got up and got out of bed, Jiang Chen put on a shirt, walked into the bathroom and locked the door. The crossing was started directly.

The villa was quiet, Sun Jiao and the others should have fallen asleep.

Without waking them up, Jiang Chen took a thick winter jacket and put it on. Standing at the entrance of the living room to adapt to the sudden temperature difference, Jiang Chen pushed open the door of the villa and walked into the snowy night.

Although it was late at night, the base was still brightly lit.

Under the swirling snow. Unable to hide the orange flames from the factory windows, there was a faint sound of "rumbling" in the workshop. Outdated production equipment can only be filled by manpower. The crude production line can only be operated by the perseverance of shifts.

But no one complains, because this is wasteland. Live with food and clothing. Still have the opportunity to be able to pay labor, it is better to say that it is a luxury.

Those highly intelligent unmanned factories before the war were basically reduced to ruins in the nuclear explosion. Although Jiang Chen also thought about sending some people to the ruins of the factories to "pick up garbage", but thinking that it was more than ten years ago in the last days, he still had to give up this idea.

The good things that can be searched, I am afraid that they have already been searched.

From time to time, snowplows converted from vans drove past in the base, and sentries with live ammunition lined up to patrol.

After seeing Jiang Chen, the leading sentinel quickly stood at attention. He took the lead in saluting the Marshal.

"Don't worry about me, just keep patrolling." Looking at the young man whose nose was red from the cold, Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Yes!" The young man raised his head with a flushed face. After another military salute, he walked forward with the soldiers behind him.

From the young man's chest, Jiang Chen saw a bright golden medal.

Only then did he remember that he seemed to have conferred more than two hundred knights in the base. These knights who were absolutely loyal to him were the first batch of slaves bought from the sixth block, and they were the pioneers who poked the first shovel on the ruins. Now these pioneers. They have all been promoted by Jiang Chen to be the backbone of the base, serving as managers or upper-middle-level officers.

Following behind the knight boy. Should be a first-class citizen, although not implanted with enslavement chips. But from those pairs of eyes. Jiang Chen still saw a strong feeling of awe and admiration.

"Has it begun to take shape?" Standing in the snow, Jiang Chen glanced around the territory he ruled, with a smile on his lips.

As the Fishbone Base began to see its scale, this fortress, which Jiang Chen took as its foundation, had begun to expand into a fourth new land. A new residential area means being able to recruit new immigrants. Counting the group of survivors recruited from Shenxiang Town, the population of Fishbone Base is close to a thousand.

However, the development here is about to hit a bottleneck. The materials obtained by the scavengers from picking up rubbish are really not enough for the appetite of this eager industrial behemoth. Only by obtaining a base in this world can he bring tons of iron, aluminum or even rare earth ores to the end of the world.

After staying for a while, Jiang Chen walked towards Jiang Lin's aerospace laboratory at the corner of the base.

Standing at the door and ringing the doorbell, Jiang Chen moved his face closer to the camera and spoke briefly.

"it's me."

Soon, the door lock made a soft "click".

Pushing open the door, the cold wind carrying snowflakes swept into the room. But soon, the snow foam on the carpet was melted into crystal water droplets by the heating in the room.

After closing the door casually, Jiang Chen hung the winter clothes on the hook in the entrance, and walked into the house.

"It's so late, I thought it was an accident on the mechanical exoskeleton production line." Jiang Lin in pajamas yawned and went downstairs with his messy hair.

Parts were thrown everywhere, making it difficult to stand in the living room on the first floor. However, this sleepy-eyed guy walked through the pile of fragmented parts very easily, without even stepping on a single screw.

It can be seen that this guy is out of a certain realm.

"What are these?" Jiang Chen pointed to the pile of parts and blueprints on the ground in confusion.

Jiang Lin drew a chair for Jiang Chen, then sat on another chair, and casually replied: "The k1-b mechanical exoskeleton you asked me to study... Seriously, this Is the thing really necessary?"

K1-b mechanical exoskeleton. It is an improved version of the K1 type amphibious. In the case of maintaining the existing protection ability, a pressure-resistant protective layer all over the body is installed at the same time to resist water pressure. The "cylinder" of the lower thruster and oxygen storage device.

Naturally, this thing is not used in the last days, but Jiang Chen didn't intend to explain too much to him. Instead, he directly asked about the development progress.

"Can this thing work now?"

"Probably not, considering that the general radiation value in natural water now exceeds the standard, and a layer of heavy metal organic material must be added to the anti-pressure protective layer—" Jiang Lin was about to explain it to Jiang Chen from a technical level, but he couldn't hear it at all. Jiang Chen, who understood, interrupted mercilessly.

"Leave aside the issue of radiation, besides the need to add other materials, is this thing ready?" There is no radiation in the water of this world. Adding that anti-radiation material is purely superfluous.

"The design is complete, and the parts of each part have been sampled. They just need to be assembled, and they should be usable directly." After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Lin nodded and said.

"Then you can help me make a whole set of samples now. It should be fine, right?"

"No problem is no problem, but the performance parameters have not been collected yet, is it really good to put it into use directly—"

"Actual combat is the best way to test equipment." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Okay then." No longer trying to persuade Jiang Chen, Jiang Lin shrugged, got up and walked towards the workbench.

The mechanical exoskeleton of the k1-b model is much bulkier than the k1 prototype. Considering that this amphibious equipment is mainly active underwater, the originally detachable polyethylene bulletproof panels were fixed to prevent water seepage in the gaps.

In addition, Jiang Lin also designed a thicker helmet for this suit of armor.

Just look at the shape. This set of mechanical exoskeleton basically covers all parts of the body under the pressure-resistant material. Except for the lack of vortex engines, heavy steel armor covering the whole body, and high-tech equipment such as nerve-connected computers, this set of equipment is somewhat similar to power armor. By analogy, it is probably between "infantry light armor" and "heavy cavalry plate armor". The cost is probably a little more than three times that of the k1 prototype.

"The propulsion device on the back, to charge the oxygen storage device, you only need to make the interface contact the air. It can be fully charged in about an hour, and it can be used for three hours after being fully charged." Jiang Lin pushed his glasses and explained to Jiang Chen one by one the ones he designed. equipment.

It can automatically replenish oxygen, what the hell is that?

Listen to Jiang Lin's explanation. Jiang Chen was speechless secretly.

"Be careful not to get hit by the respirator in the back of the neck when there's a firefight... Of course, it doesn't make a difference if you get shot in the head."

"Isn't the helmet bulletproof?" Jiang Chen reached out and tapped on the helmet. Feel the texture of the special organic material.

"Underwater equipment, I have to control the overall density of the equipment. The main bulletproof capabilities are concentrated on the chest and abdomen. Of course, the helmet should still be able to defend against one or two shots, but I don't mind you trying. The kinetic energy of the Ripper Rifle, even if the helmet resists a shot, most people's cervical spine can hardly bear that kind of pressure. After all, this is not power armor." Jiang Lin shrugged and said

"What about this? A pistol?" Jiang Chen picked up a weapon with a somewhat weird barrel shape.

"That's right, but it's for underwater use."

"Isn't the Type 11 pistol not good? I remember that the kinetic energy of that thing is quite large." Jiang Chen held the gun and played with it for a while, and felt that the feel was unusually weird.

Jiang Lin froze for a moment, then gave Jiang Chen a strange look.

"The higher the initial velocity of the bullet, the shorter the movement distance in the water. Even if the bullet in the base is a steel core bullet, it shouldn't be crushed by water, and it will start rolling after a few meters, right?"

The greater the power, the closer the hit? How can it be? !

"But I saw it in a movie—" Jiang Chen said dumbfounded.

In his impression, those scenes of machine guns slamming into the water to form bullet nets seem to be quite common in war movies.

"That's a movie after all." Jiang Lin smiled, and handed a box of thick and long bullets to Jiang Chen, "Using Type 11, you might as well use a laser gun. Although the energy of a laser bullet in an optically dense medium The decay is also very fast, but it can hit farther than ordinary light weapons." (To be continued)
