Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Back in the refuge, Chen Xin was busy miniaturizing the isotope thermoelectric battery, and at the same time, he was seriously thinking about how to make exoskeleton protective clothing.

The manufacture of exoskeleton is a very simple task for Chen Xin. In fact, even for the current Yan Country, it is not difficult to make an exoskeleton.

Before the disaster, various exoskeletons that have entered the practical stage were put into use, not only in the military, but even the delivery courier brothers had experimental exoskeletons.

However, this kind of exoskeleton is a passive exoskeleton. Simply put, it is a weight-bearing bracket without a power source. Through scientific ergonomic design, it can effectively support heavy objects and reduce the user's physical exertion. It is a power-assisted device.

However, this kind of exoskeleton obviously cannot meet Chen Xin's requirements, and he does not have to work hard to develop this kind of thing. The country has already had things ready to use.

The exoskeleton that Chen Xin wants to develop should be called a mechanical exoskeleton or a power exoskeleton. It is a mechanical device composed of a steel frame and can be worn by people. This equipment can provide extra energy for the movement of the limbs.

This kind of equipment is commonly found in various sci-fi works, such as the fifty-piece armor of a good brother in "StarCraft", the Mark series iron suit in "Iron Man", and the body of Tom in "Edge of Tomorrow" Sets of equipment, the ugly and cute T series in the "Radiation" series, the Thor's hammer of the Spartan warriors in the "Halo" series, etc...

These are the exoskeleton devices that compound people's cognition, or more simply called power armor.

In fact, strictly speaking, there is not much difference between the two in essence, or the exoskeleton just lacks a more solid protective power armor, and the power armor is a more comprehensive exoskeleton.

The concept of this kind of equipment was proposed in the Federation in 1960. After years of research, various related technologies and research and development ideas about exoskeletons have long been proved. What is really left is the hard bones that cannot be solved by modern technology. Up.

There are two most critical issues in this. The first is how to control the exoskeleton in the human-computer interaction mode, and the second is the power source of the exoskeleton.

The choice of the way of human-computer interaction in the development of exoskeleton is a problem that is not so confusing, but it is not so easy to solve.

The source of power is even more of a stumbling block for the exoskeleton to enter the practical and promotion stage. It can be said that one of the biggest difficulties in the development of exoskeleton is the problem of power source.

In order to solve the power problem, some people have even proposed to make a wired version of the power exoskeleton that drags a cable like EVA.

However, these problems are actually not difficult for Chen Xin. Take a few steel pipes to weld a movable frame, arrange the mechanical transmission, and then connect a battery. You don’t even need hydraulic assistance. Just a set of the most primitive power exoskeleton. After it comes out, the rest of the work can be completely handed over to the system, and Chen Xin only needs to upgrade and it's done.

But this is not what Chen Xin wanted, or that this time Chen Xin needs to consider more issues and factors.

Because this set of exoskeleton protective clothing is designed for civilian use, it is mainly provided to construction workers and those who need to leave the refuge to work outside, providing them with warmth and protection in severe cold and harsh environments, as well as a certain degree of assistance.

Therefore, this set of exoskeleton protective clothing mainly focuses on protection and warmth. It does not need to be too strong for boosting enhancement, and because it is to be mass-produced and put into use, the cost of production and maintenance and the convenience of use need to be reduced. Consider it in the first place.

It is very simple for Chen Xin to get a set by himself. He can save the survival point regardless of the cost. Even if a nano armor like Mark85 is finally piled up, it is not a problem, but this is limited to his own use or small batches. Used by people in the shelter.

Mass production of exoskeleton protective clothing is not a matter of a few or dozens of sets, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of things. There are hundreds of millions of people in the country, even if only one in ten people need to use exoskeleton protective clothing. There are also tens of millions of sets. If you do not consider the cost and maintenance issues, even a country like Yan Guo cannot afford such a huge expenditure.

This is also the reason why Chen Xin gave up the idea of ​​creating a power armor for full body protection. It is not that it can't be done, nor is it too dangerous to be suitable for civilian use, but there is no basis for widespread popularization.

In fact, in Chen Xin’s vision, such a set of exoskeleton protective clothing would not even be able to use the isotope temperature difference battery after miniaturization. It is enough to install a rechargeable battery that can run for dozens of hours. After all, its main function is to keep warm and protect.

Warmth is very well realized. There is a ready-made technology in the pilot's anti-G suit. Add resistance wire like an electric blanket to make the protective suit have electric heating function. The only problem is that the battery can't bear it.

Moreover, according to Chen Xin’s judgment, in the future, this electric heating method will become the main warm clothing of mankind together with synthetic fiber clothing, because traditional natural fabrics, cotton, linen and wool have lost most of the source of raw materials, even if Some of the production capacity can be preserved, which is not something that ordinary shelter residents can care about.

Therefore, for such a set of exoskeleton protective clothing, Chen Xin intends to use one-piece synthetic fiber clothing with electric heating wire for heating to ensure that the protective clothing is resistant to the cold.

After all, this is a relatively low cost, more convenient way to obtain raw materials, and more convenient production.

In the past, it has become difficult to obtain raw materials for duck down and cotton padding to keep warm. Therefore, instead of using padding to keep warm in the past, it is better to install an electric blanket on your body.

As long as the outer structure's thermal performance is good enough, and the electric heating method is effective enough, even at a low temperature of tens of degrees below zero, such a set of exoskeleton protective clothing is enough to ensure that the wearer will not be frostbited.

Coupled with a full-covering helmet connected to oxygen supply equipment, it is even more capable of resisting damage to the wearer from various harmful environments.

As for the part of the exoskeleton, it can be relatively simple. It can use the existing technology mature unbounded exoskeleton as the basis, or even directly use the unbounded exoskeleton as the ordinary civilian version, and the booster system is installed as an upgraded version for the building. Workers and other people who need heavy physical labor.

Chen Xin, part of the battery, intends to study a large-capacity high-performance battery that can be repeatedly charged as the power source for this exoskeleton protective suit after completing the miniaturized isotope thermoelectric battery.

On the one hand, the exoskeleton protective clothing is ordinary civilian equipment and does not require long-term power supply. In addition, the isotope temperature difference battery is a radioactive element anyway, and there will still be certain safety issues when it is popularized for civilian use.

On the other hand, it is also because of cost considerations. Although the production cost of high-performance batteries is not low~www.ltnovel.com~, it is still much cheaper compared to producing isotopic thermoelectric batteries.

Therefore, after comprehensively considering various factors, Chen Xin also had a concept on how to design this exoskeleton protective suit.

I found a set of old work clothes I bought from my father when I was still working, and pulled out the electric blanket that was no longer useful after installing the ground source heat pump, and then went to the warehouse to get the exoskeleton needed Chen Xin sat in front of the workbench, preparing to make a prototype machine.

Taking old work clothes as the main body, adding electric blankets as materials, a set of protective clothing with electric heating function was freshly released after the update was confirmed.

After that, the battery, exoskeleton, and helmet need to be installed.

Among the three, Chen Xin still uses batteries, but this time he upgraded the batteries in a direction that can be quickly and repeatedly charged, instead of making them into high-durability nuclear batteries.

As for the helmet, Chen Xin only intends to make a simplified cover for the time being. As for whether to add other functions in the future, it is a matter of subsequent research and development. As a prototype, it is enough to be able to seal, provide oxygen and block the external cold.
