I Can View Character Attributes

"Okay, the spider web weavers have come to an end for the time being, and Xiaoxin and the others will be responsible for writing the web weaving module and program optimization."

After acting as an intermediary to let the two parties get acquainted, Xia Xu called out to attract everyone's attention and said, "Next, I will announce our future research and development plan. Of course, those who have different ideas and opinions can also put forward."

Naturally, Zhou Ji and Walker would not have any objections to this. After all, they were originally organized because of Xia Xu, and all the funds for the entire research team were provided by Xia Xu.

"Everyone here is a top talent in mechanical engineering and electronic information, so small projects are fine, and if we want to develop, we will develop something challenging."

Xia Xu smiled slightly, and said after a moment of deliberation: "So, our main goal is - exoskeleton armor!"

"Wow! This is good, this is interesting."

"Haha, brother Xu still likes me."

"Hey, I know Brother Xu, you won't let us down."

Hearing Xia Xu's announcement, Zhou Ji Walker, Zhang Meng and Lu Dong cheered excitedly.

Obviously, they are very satisfied with the result.

Weapons and vehicles are the romance of men, and the sci-fi concept of exoskeleton armor is a combination of the two. No teenager can resist its charm, and men are teenagers until they die.

When Xia Xu just said that he would announce his future research and development plan, they were actually a little bit suspicious and apprehensive.

After such a long time, they are no longer ignorant of Xia Xu's identity. They naturally know that he is the boss of the Xinghai Group, and they also know that he has invested a lot in research and development outside the Xinghai Research Group.

This is a successful and talented businessman and the boss of a group.

From the perspective of such a businessman, what is the most suitable for them to study?

Whatever the answer is, at least it's definitely not exoskeleton armor or high-end robots.

Why are things like exoskeleton armor still just a sci-fi concept?

It's not that it can't be done at all, but it's not practical, the price/performance ratio is too low, and there are too many defects.

In fact, if the requirements are not too high, it is very simple for current technology to only realize basic concepts such as armor protection and strength improvement.

There are various ready-made motors and hydraulic components for improving limb strength. In terms of energy, batteries and fuel are sufficient for short-term support, and there are myoelectric sensors, torque sensors, etc. for control, which are more than enough to realize somatosensory interaction.

If you want to make a simple exoskeleton armor, you don't need any experts, a small company composed of a few high-achieving students, or even just a technical house can make it in private.

For example, there are several small companies in China that are developing this machine, and the finished product has even been shown on a TV show, and it has also been reported in the island country that tech nerds built their own mechas.

In Western countries such as the United States, there are many local tyrants, technology geeks, and extreme enthusiasts who have nothing to do.

It's a pity that this so-called exoskeleton armor, let alone used for combat, is not bad if it doesn't affect the action.

Improving strength can improve strength, but it can only achieve simple lifting and lifting, the movement is slow, and you can't even run.

And it is limited by the fact that many components cannot be miniaturized. No matter how it is designed, it is either bulky or rigid in structure, which in turn affects limb movement.

As for the flying ability, to put it bluntly, it is to spend money to install a few micro jet engines, and it is no problem to fly for a while or refer to the aircraft and wingsuit for simple flight.

But if you really want to do it like the exoskeleton armor in sci-fi movies, not to mention that the hardware cannot be miniaturized to that extent, the battery life alone is a problem.

In short, exoskeleton armor can be made now, but it is not up to standard on an industrial basis, and what is made can only be used as a toy or civilian auxiliary equipment.

Civilian equipment is only theoretical. If you really want to carry heavy objects, there are already a series of ready-made tools such as forklifts and cranes. There is no need for an exoskeleton that is expensive and impractical. If you really want that money, it is not as practical as an industrial robot arm .

Therefore, from the perspective of commercial investment, there is a high probability that researching this thing will lead to nothing. People who research and develop this thing are either hobbies or investing in dreams and the future.

Rather than letting them study these, it is obviously more promising to study some existing, less advanced commercial products, such as vehicle-related technologies and industrial production-related technologies.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Meng and Zhou Ji were actually a little bit worried at that moment, worried that they would have to carry out those boring and uninteresting projects, and refusing them at that time was neither a promise nor a promise.

"Okay, don't get too excited, the powered exoskeleton is only a long-term goal, and our short-term goal is an unpowered exoskeleton."

Xia Xu interrupted the excitedly cheering male team members and poured a little cold water on them.

In the conventional sense, exoskeleton armor should refer to powered exoskeleton armor, which increases human mobility through energy and power.

But now Seablue Star's industrial base is here. Although there should be a lot of black technology hidden, there is no way to know and obtain it before it is exposed.

With Zhou Ji, Zhang Meng and others, plus Walker, the protagonist of "The Mechanic", it is still possible to study a powered exoskeleton that can be used in actual combat, but this is destined to be a long-term process.

So his short-term goal is an unpowered exoskeleton, or a set of protective gear that can be worn at all times.

The unpowered exoskeleton, as you can tell by the name, is a concept corresponding to the powered exoskeleton.

In fact, many countries are now studying exoskeleton armor and have achieved corresponding results.

However, due to the various reasons mentioned above, the final research and development direction of these exoskeleton armors has basically turned to unpowered exoskeletons, also known as passive exoskeletons, and each has mature results.

As the name suggests, it is an exoskeleton that has no energy power and only relies on structure, material, and mechanics to achieve the effect.

The most essential meaning of the word exoskeleton is derived from the carapace of crustaceans. The human skeleton is called an endoskeleton in the body, and the bones of animals such as crab beetles are outside the body, so they are called exoskeletons.

The effects of the two are similar. The most basic function is to support the body, guide and disperse gravity and impact. The exoskeleton can also serve an additional protective purpose.

Passive exoskeleton means that it does not rely on energy and power devices, but relies on materials and structures to disperse the body's force, so as to improve the load-bearing capacity, reduce physical exertion, assist force, and reduce muscle and bone strain.

Of course, a full-cover design can also enhance the body's surface defense capabilities, and relying on mechanical structure energy storage can also enhance the strength of the limbs, depending on the design.

This passive exoskeleton does not require energy and power structures, which eliminates the most bloated part of the exoskeleton armor, and can be extremely light.

And because the whole is not too complicated, the passive exoskeleton will basically not affect the action, and will only have positive gains, and the cost can be compressed to an extremely low level because there are not many high-tech electronic components.

It can be said that the passive exoskeleton is the most practical form of exoskeleton armor under the current technological foundation.

And that's exactly what Xia Xu needed.

The last time Gardner's mental hospital was destroyed, Gardner's people were offended to death, and their identities were also leaked. When they recover, there will definitely be retaliation.

Among other things, a group of gunmen from the special defense force posed a deadly threat to him.

So now he needs a set of protective equipment, and it can be worn at any time, at least the protective equipment that can be carried with him.

No matter how powerful the powered exoskeleton is, it is difficult to carry it with you, and it is impossible to wear it out all day like a neuropathy. The development is a long process.

In this way, a simple and practical passive exoskeleton is his best choice.

It's not bad to get a relatively light protective suit, as long as it can be worn close to the body and is bulletproof, and with the early warning of the Bai Ze system, at least a small-scale firepower conflict cannot pose a fatal threat to him.
