The head of the headquarters was really shocked by Zhuang Jianye's words.
Although the mechanical exoskeleton seems to be a science fiction in the eyes of ordinary people, it is not impossible to realize in the field of military equipment research. Take the United States as an example, in the 1960s, General Motors began to try to develop the mechanical exoskeleton, so as to create the so-called super soldier for the US Army.
Europe and the former Soviet Union have also followed up. The reason for this is that the mechanical exoskeleton can greatly reduce the burden of soldiers and improve the durability of the human body.
Not to mention the other group of super soldiers with Gatling rotary machine guns, against a small group of ordinary soldiers with AK assault rifles, the rest, from the firepower alone, can press the soldiers with AK on the ground.
In addition, among the artillery, a 155mm shell is quite heavy. In actual combat, usually two soldiers are tired into dogs, and they barely support three minutes of rapid firing.
If you want to keep the fire going, you have to change people to carry the shells, or reduce the firing speed to let the ammunition feeder take a breath.
With a mechanical exoskeleton, it's not the same. A bomb feeder is enough, because with the mechanical exoskeleton, even the thin soldiers can be transformed into a strongman. It's exaggeration to lift a thousand kilos of mountains and boulders, but it's still very easy to get a hundred kilos or so.
So not to mention three minutes of rapid fire, that's five minutes, or even 10 minutes. The ammunition feeder wearing a mechanical exoskeleton can handle it alone.
In this way, it can not only ensure the artillery firepower and strike effect, but also reduce the basic establishment of artillery, make the artillery units smaller, more compact and more sensitive, so as to improve the battlefield survival conditions of artillery.
In addition, in terms of logistics support, the daily supply of domestic border areas, especially those high-altitude posts in border areas and snow areas, needs to be carried by manpower step by step.
Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the key manpower is limited after all, so it is impossible to load too many things.
With mechanical exoskeletons, it's not the same. Logistics soldiers can carry twice as much weight, or even twice or three times as much. In this way, when transporting logistics materials, the previous two or three times of transportation can be completed in one time, which is not only intensive but also efficient.
Because of this, this kind of mechanical exoskeleton may only be a supporting part for super soldiers in European and American armies, but it's really a good thing for domestic troops, and it's really a good thing for almost all branches of the armed forces.
It's just that after nearly 20 years of patience, the army has too many shortcomings to make up. In addition, the shortage of funds has not been fundamentally alleviated, so that the headquarters functions spend money on the blade to fully guarantee the construction of "killer mace" and other key equipment.
As for the front-line equipment such as mechanical exoskeleton which is not in urgent need, the headquarters is really more than willing but less than able. It can only entrust its subordinate research institutions to follow the development trend of foreign countries, do some theoretical research, wait for the funds to be sufficient, and try to invest in the actual research and development.
But I didn't expect that Zhuang Jianye's Tengfei group, which is engaged in the sideline business of artificial limbs and wheelchairs, can also produce such a good thing that represents the future development direction of individual soldier equipment. How can the head of the headquarters not be surprised?
But in the twinkling of an eye, there are still some confusion. You should know that there are many manufacturers engaged in prosthetics and wheelchairs in China. Although they are not as loud as the "FAK" brand of Tengfei group, some of them are still able to do it. How can they not make mechanical exoskeletons but only Tengfei group?
"Because what we do is high-end."
The answer given by Zhuang Jianye is always coquettish, which makes the head of the headquarters frown and want to strangle this pretending son of a bitch. It seems that who doesn't know that you Tengfei group are doing high-end business? Do you listen to this? We need to know whether your development is good or not!
Of course, Zhuang Jianye knew it, so he laughed, and without waiting for the head of the headquarters to get angry, he continued: "how high-end is it? Let's say, our latest prosthetic arm can judge the host's action according to the muscle changes of the amputated limb, and then transmit it to each joint of the prosthetic limb through the servo system, so as to realize the normal arm swing, grasp, put down and other operations.
Of course, this system can also be controlled by voice. For example, if the host says "grasp", the prosthetic arm will control the palm to grasp what it wants to grasp... "
Zhuang Jianye introduced the real core of FK to the head of the headquarters, that is, the mastery of ergonomics and related data information.
Thanks to Mr. Hawking, a physicist who can't speak, daily communication can only rely on three active fingers to control the keyboard to tap words, and then read them out by analog sound.
But with the deterioration of Hawking's condition, there was only one finger left, which made it twice as difficult to read and write. There was no way, Hawking's finger was too busy.
So while building a wheelchair for Hawking, Hawking hopes to improve his communication equipment so that he can easily communicate with outsiders with one finger.
Tengfei group has no problem with the hardware of wheelchair. Even setting the data of laser gyroscope and the application of laser radar is not a problem, because it is much less difficult to illuminate the object than the plane in the sky and the satellite in outer space.
But language communication, which involves ergonomics and neuroscience, is not a good thing for Tengfei group. After all, Tengfei Group specializes in technology, but it has never touched such things. What can they do?In the face of this situation, it was Owen, the technology house rather than Evans. He spent more than a month traveling to Europe and the United States, visiting the related discipline research laboratories of major universities and dozens of potential start-ups, and then hired the top medical experts to screen the achievements of these laboratories and start-ups.
Making a list without saying a word opens Owen's version of the moat of inhumanity.
The start-ups that you like buy directly, and the scientific research institutions that you like buy directly.
What? Founders of startups don't sell?
Then take a share of the company's similar products, sue them for infringement, and sue them level by level until the start-up company collapses.
What are you talking about? A scientific research institution does not give results?
Then just dig up the core experts and even the whole team who have this achievement.
In this way, Owen worked hard for more than half a year to obtain massive data of ergonomics and neuroscience, as well as the latest results of the application of these two related disciplines and computer connectivity, and then handed them over to Zhuang Jianye.
Tengfei group is not short of software programming technology, but also theoretical analysis ability. What it lacks is these decades of basic data. Now Owen has packaged these data for less than 10 million US dollars, which is equivalent to avoiding decades of detours for Tengfei group.
So relying on this kind of data, coupled with the advantages of Tengfei group in other aspects, a set of fkzb muscle identification system was soon developed.
This system is integrated into Hawking's glasses, and uses laser to detect the wriggling of a small movable muscle group under Hawking's eye socket during Hawking's communication, so as to judge what Hawking wants to express, so as to announce these words on the liquid crystal display on the engine room, and Hawking can choose with his movable finger.
