Chapter 135: Transaction, Power, Explosive Arrow, Titan
Eastern District of the Underground Base.
Inside a rail train leading to the southern construction area;
The comfort here is not as good as that of a civilian maglev train, but it is similar to a traditional subway, with row seats, handrails and handrails on both sides.
However, inside the base, everything is based on efficiency, and there is no need to provide services to passengers like a civilian train, so the style appears too simple.
At this moment, Sui Yang is sitting in a seat by the window, and at the same time, he uses his exclusive mobile phone to continue reading and approving company affairs, such as:
"The Italian government of the main universe has expressed its intention to purchase 1,200 sets of police-grade mechanical skeletons, related accessories and system upgrade services."
"Report on the progress of cold fusion reactor research-New Energy Research Department, a subordinate department of the Ministry of Scientific Research.
Attached documents: Research progress of titanium nanocomposite one-piece protective suit-powered armor research plan."
"Draft for the expansion of the Pandora Planet Dockyard, Version C-Engineering Department."
"Detailed planning plan for bolt guns-Accra underground base, weapons research and development center." etc.
Among them, the Italian government of the main universe originally wanted to purchase the conventional individual equipment of ARS (Rapid Reaction Force). After all, the abnormal biological investigation jointly launched by the Investigation Department and ARS four months ago really opened the eyes of the Italian government.
Although the online public opinion has been reduced to the lowest, the investigation mainly revolves around Sicily in Italy, so the Italian government has the right to know part of the truth.
Afterwards, after a series of economic and military exchanges, the Italian government showed a strong interest in the conventional individual equipment of ARS.
So in early August, the other party submitted a purchase intention for 2,000 sets.
And Sui Yang's reply was "The unit price of each set of equipment is 7 million. If it is paid in full at one time, Atlas will give a 10% discount, a total of 12.6 billion."
In addition, Sui Yang also clearly mentioned in his reply that ARS's individual equipment involves many core technologies and is not for sale, but because of the pleasant cooperation between the two parties, a product plan for external sales was specially prepared.
In this regard, the Italian government naturally knew Sui Yang's refusal, but still set its sights on the mechanical skeleton and was not ready to give up easily. Finally, it locked its sights on the police version of the single-soldier skeleton used by the New Accra Police Station.
Faced with Italy's positive attitude, and the fact that the police version of the mechanical skeleton was a product eliminated by Atlas' front-line troops, Sui Yang no longer shirked his responsibility and immediately arranged for the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be responsible for the transaction.
The second is the cold fusion reactor.
Since Sui Yang opened the space gate to the Zero Two Universe (Avatar) and obtained perfect nuclear fusion technology and preliminary antimatter engines, Atlas' energy field has directly broken through the bottleneck and achieved leapfrog development.
Hydrogen batteries related to hydrogen energy have also been improved and improved in various aspects, which can greatly extend the operating time of mechanical skeletons and various mechas.
However, if hydrogen batteries are used in power armor, it will appear "incapable".
Power armor and power exoskeletons both provide wearers with increased strength, speed, etc.
There are commonalities between the two, and it is difficult to distinguish a clear boundary, but for Atlas, the biggest difference between the two lies in "full coverage" and "semi-permanence".
At present, the elite combat platoons or combat companies of the Rapid Reaction Force (ARS), Emergency Countermeasures Force (AECS), and Orbital Assault Force (ODST) all use fully covered mechanical skeletons, which can continue to work and fight in harsh environments.
However, the endurance time is "only" about 72 hours, and in extreme environments such as space, it will be sharply shortened to 20 to 40 minutes.
On the other hand, the power armor research program led by the Research Department considers using a micro-nuclear fusion reactor to replace hydrogen batteries to achieve "semi-permanence".
After years of analysis, trial and error, and research, the Research Department successfully developed the prototype of the cold fusion reactor.
Although the volume is still huge, equivalent to 1/2 the size of the White-legged Falcon carrier-based aircraft engine, it is already very fast according to the progress of other research projects.
As for cold fusion, it is a nuclear fusion reaction that takes place at room temperature and normal pressure, which means it has safer properties and stability.
This is why the Research Department regards cold fusion reactors as the energy source for power armor.
Moreover, while the Research Department is actively carrying out cold fusion research, another project is also being carried out in full swing, namely the titanium nano (Ti-Ta Nano) composite material one-piece protective suit.
The United Aerospace Company of Universe Zero Three (Doom Slayer) has further expanded Atlas in the fields of biological genetic engineering and nanotechnology, and has also enabled the nano one-piece suit sandwiched between the wearer's skin and the outer armor to move from theory to reality.
ARS, AECS, ODST, and even the high-end combat suits equipped by the Investigation Department actually have quite good bulletproof performance and can effectively resist the close-range impact of 7.62mm caliber armor-piercing warheads.
However, in terms of the intensity of combat in outer space and alien planets, this type of combat suit cannot meet the needs of power armor at all.
Therefore, after the Research Department has a relatively mature nano-level process, it has begun to develop the latest one-piece combat suits that match the power armor.
Sui Yang, who finished reading the cold fusion research report quickly, clicked on the attached file and began to read the research progress of the nanosuit.
According to the description of the research department, six days ago, on August 18, 1999, the second prototype nanosuit was first worn through the unconscious clones of personnel such as D.
The result of the experiment ended with 81% of the clone's body comminuted fractures and physiological death.
After investigation, the research department determined that it was the active fluid metal layer under the nanosuit that caused the clone to over-amplify the range of each step when it began to move under the stimulation of electric current.
Like ordinary arm stretching, the angle of the elbow joint is about 0° when the arm is straight.
However, after the clone put on the prototype nanosuit and stretched, the angle between the arm and the elbow joint shifted 30° in the opposite direction, directly breaking the radius and ulna of the elbow joint and forearm.
Because the active fluid metal layer has a similar effect to electronic muscles, it can theoretically effectively enhance the wearer's extreme strength, reaction time and athletic ability.
However, the clone's brain will not give any feedback, and even if it is conscious, it does not have a fast enough reaction speed.
For example, with a simple walk, the nanosuit forces the clone's entire body to reach a high-intensity, high-frequency limit burst, which then causes the clone's entire body to fracture, tear muscles, and displace internal organs.
In layman's terms, the nanosuit "crushed" the clone.
"."
Seeing this result, Sui Yang's facial expression did not reveal anything.
But the actual feeling in his heart made him involuntarily associate this scene with the test scene of Thor's Hammer power armor in "Halo".
The consequence of ordinary humans wearing Thor's Hammer is immediate death and lifelong disability. Only Spartan warriors who have undergone nerve reaction enhancement and bone enhancement can perfectly control it.
In fact, in the early years, Sui Yang had participated in the research and development of the power armor plan and put forward some key suggestions, so he expected such experimental results.
The research department is no exception, just to use the clone to obtain more data.
Then, two days ago on August 22, the Research Department "borrowed" a retired rebuilt soldier from the Biology Department to continue the nanosuit wearing experiment.
This time, there was no death.
The rebuilt soldier who participated in the experiment barely moved forward 12.36 meters after wearing the wired nanosuit.
At the end of the attached document, the Research Department stated that the various data obtained from it will help improve the nanosuit, but it cannot lower the wearing threshold of the nanosuit.
After reading all this, Sui Yang never worried about the threshold issue from beginning to end.
At this stage, there are "candidates" who can reach or exceed the threshold, that is, the ten Thunder Warriors who have just participated in the actual combat test.
In addition, Sui Yang can also let the Biology Department and the Research Department work together to produce tyrants that meet the conditions for wearing nanosuits.
But he had no intention of mass-producing these two biological weapons, after all, the high cost was the main limiting factor.
After comprehensive comparison and analysis, once Alexia and her core team completely perfected the gene seed and realized the mass production of Astartes, then this would still be the most cost-effective option.
At this time.
Sui Yang closed the attached file, opened the "Expansion Draft of Pandora Dockyard", and began to review and make appropriate modifications and notes.
After replying to the expansion draft of the engineering department, he opened the "Explosive Arrow Firearms" item.
Explosive Arrow Firearms are firearms that can fire "explosive ammunition", and this item was proposed by him and then perfected by the weapons research and development center of the Accra base.
In the actual combat test, the cannon caliber rifles used by the ten Thunder Warriors were the prototype explosive arrow rifles produced by the weapons research and development center.
The standard caliber is .75cal, and the machine gun caliber is 1.0cal.
Without a mechanical skeleton, even the most elite soldiers cannot withstand its recoil.
And every bolt bullet will start a small booster to continue to speed up at the moment it leaves the barrel.
Therefore, each bolt bullet can be understood as a super-small rocket.
From these perspectives alone, the bolt gun project proposed by Sui Yang seems to be no different from the various types of bolt guns in "Warhammer 40k".
But in fact, it is not much different from the Atlas modular weapon system (AMWS), which can be equipped with extended barrels, grenade launchers, under-hook shotguns and other components according to different situations and mission requirements.
It can cooperate with the individual system to complete shooting calibration and fire many intelligent ammunition, such as tracking bolt bullets.
Because of the addition of rocket boosters, the mobility of tracking bolt bullets has been significantly enhanced, achieving the true meaning of "bullet turning", which is an effect that ordinary .30cal smart bullets cannot achieve.
The core of the standard bolter contains 2 grams of metallic hydrogen, which will automatically detonate 0.03 seconds after hitting the target, releasing energy equivalent to 80 grams of TNT. This is why personnel such as D will explode and die directly after being shot.
The user can also manually control the delayed explosion time of the standard bolter through a device similar to a speed selector or a matching individual system.
Not only that, the gun chamber is even equipped with an electromagnetic coil powered by a condensed battery to achieve a faster initial velocity.
So Sui Yang just borrowed the classics from "Warhammer 40k" to name Atlas's caliber firearms.
Seeing that the weapons research and development center had perfected the plan, he "approved" the plan and prepared to open an exclusive production line in the underground base to manufacture a batch of bolt rifles and various types of bolt ammunition.
Just at this time;
"Ugh. Father, where are we going?"
A vague question from a child who had just woken up came from Sui Yang's left hand side.
?
Sui Yang, who heard the question, turned slightly and looked at his son who was stretching and wearing yellow children's short-sleeves and black shorts——
Donne.
Dorn is now just over four months old, less than one meter tall, with a rather immature face and his trademark short white hair.
And Vulkan, who arrived on Earth Zero-6 (Pacific Rim) with Dorn, wearing a dark green short-sleeved vest, was sitting next to his right hand, leaning back on the row of seats and falling into a deep sleep.
And unlike Dorn, Vulkan has short black hair, and his skin is a healthy wheat color. His body is much stronger than Dorn, nearly one meter tall.
His two sons were still in childhood, so Sui Yang would take them with him wherever he went, or let the accompanying hunters help take care of them.
After observing the actual combat test and leaving the experimental center, they took the rail train to the southern construction area of the underground base.
At this moment, after hearing the inquiry, Sui Yang put away his exclusive mobile phone, freed up his left hand to touch the top of Dorn's head, and said with a smile:
"You'll know when the time comes."
"Is this fun?" Dorn's eyes lit up as he woke up completely.
"Should... forget it." Sui Yang was unsure.
"Forget it?" Dorn was stunned, and then said with his fingers: "New aircraft? New tanks? Or new construction robots?
If my guess is correct... Hehe~ Dad, I saw a building block toy when I was watching TV yesterday. Can you... buy it for me? "
Dawn kept talking and brought the topic to buying toys.
Seeing his son expressing his request, Sui Yang's smile did not diminish: "If I guess wrong, I can buy it for you. After all, you have been very good recently. Dr. Ashford also praised you for being an honest child."
"Hahaha! Great~! I can also build a little castle of my own!"
Dorn was very excited when he got the affirmative answer. While cheering quietly, he opened his arms and hugged Sui Yang.
"Uh? Castle...are we about to arrive?" This made Vulkan, who slowly woke up, confused.
"soon…"
As soon as Sui Yang wanted to say something, he was interrupted by the train announcement, and he only heard:
"Titan Project Center, here we are."
There is another chapter. I had a cold yesterday and I have been feeling groggy. I am a bit slow. I’m sorry everyone.
