Chapter 98: The Secret of the Research Laboratory (2)

The door opened, and Ling Chen pushed the wheelchair and followed closely behind Qin Lan and strode in.

Suddenly, a metal skeleton placed in the center of the room appeared in Ling Chen's sight. The surface of the metal skeleton was silver-gray, and it was unknown what material it was made of. There is a core circuit board in the middle, on which the guard plate is not installed, and the chips and wires inside are exposed.

With the circuit board as the center, a metal strip extends from the left and right ends, which is two fingers wide. In the middle and at the end of the metal bar, respectively, there is a circular fixture.

In addition to the left and right, there are two metal brackets under the board, almost a meter long, and the middle of the bracket is equipped with two movable devices that can be rotated back and forth.

At this moment, Ling Chen finally knew what Nan Rong Wanqing was studying.

Internationally, this metal skeleton has a general name, called mechanical exoskeleton, which can also be called exoskeleton armor.

This exoskeleton armor can be worn on a person's body, providing protection and additional power to enhance human body functions, such as allowing people with disabled legs to walk freely.

Looking at Nan Rong Wanqing who was in a wheelchair, how Ling Chen didn't understand that the purpose of her research was nothing more than to restore her ability to walk.

Facing Ling Chen's gaze, Nan Rongwan said, "Now you know what this research laboratory is researching. ”

Ling Chen nodded, "Chairman, let me take the liberty of asking, in countries around the world, the existence of exoskeleton armor is not a secret, it is reported in the news, why do those people take a fancy to your research?"

Qin Lan took over the conversation and asked rhetorically, "Mr. Ling, how much do you know about exoskeleton armor?"

"I don't know, I've never been exposed to this field. ”

"There are many researchers in the world who are working on exoskeleton armor, including various military powers. Exoskeleton armor not only allows people with disabilities to regain mobility, but also enhances various physical abilities. As a very simple example, the limit of a person is to run ten kilometers, however, after being equipped with exoskeleton armor, one will not feel tired even if he runs twenty kilometers or thirty kilometers. Not only that, but exoskeleton armor can also greatly improve a person's abilities, such as bounce and strength. As early as ten years ago, our country began to secretly study exoskeleton armor, hoping to improve the combat ability and survivability of soldiers. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Lan paused slightly, and then continued: "Although the exoskeleton armor is very strong, it also has many limitations. Exoskeleton armor is mainly supported by electrical energy, and the more intense it is used, the more electrical energy is consumed. In fact, many countries in the world have developed the finished product of exoskeleton armor, but they have not yet been able to apply it to the military field, one of the reasons is that the problem of power consumption cannot be solved. The electrical energy storage device should not be too large, otherwise it will increase the load of the armor and bring inconvenience to the movement. As far as I know, the current international exoskeleton armor, in the case of detachment from external power supply, the internal electrical energy device can only maintain one to two hours of operation. If it is applied to soldiers fighting in the field, this little time is simply not enough. ”

"Also, the existing exoskeleton armor is too complex and cumbersome, very cumbersome to use, and poorly concealed, so anyone can see it. For these two reasons, exoskeleton armor has been unable to be used in the military field for a long time. ”

After listening to Qin Lan's explanation, Ling Chen had a general understanding of the exoskeleton armor.

"Miss Qin, could it be that you have already overcome these two difficulties?"

Qin Lan nodded, with an unconcealable pride in her eyes, "After several years of research, we have successfully solved the material problem of exoskeleton armor, and the exoskeleton armor you see now is the first set of finished products we have developed, and the material used is mixed metal, which is a special metal created by us based on alloys, which is not only light to carry, but also very hard." Even if it is not driven by electric energy, it will not feel too difficult to wear on the body. We did several experiments, put this exoskeleton armor in our clothes, walked on the street, no one could see it, the concealment was very good. ”

"As for its electrical device, our scientists have found a solution and are now testing it. Once successful, this exoskeleton armor is capable of operating independently for ten hours. With these two points alone, this set of exoskeleton armor is enough for use in the military field. ”

"Qin Lan, show him the data from this armor test. ”

Hearing Nan Rong Wanqing's words, Qin Lan took out a piece of information from the folder he carried with him and handed it to Ling Chen.

Ling Chen casually turned the first page, his gaze froze, with incredible surprise on his face, the strength of that exoskeleton armor was vividly reflected in these data.

The speed is increased by three times, the bounce power is increased by four times, and the power is increased by five times, and if nothing else, these three stats alone are enough to show how powerful it is.

As a former ghost member, Ling Chen knew all too well what that meant. If this exoskeleton armor is popularized in the army, it will be enough to change the status of special forces in the world. What kind of soldier king, special strong soldiers, in front of this set of exoskeleton armor, they are all scum, not worth mentioning.

Unconsciously, Ling Chen felt that his palms were sweating. At this moment, he finally understood why those people had gone to such lengths to get this exoskeleton armor.

Closing the information, he looked up at Qin Lan and said, "Miss Qin, can you let us talk alone?"

Qin Lan glanced at Nan Rong Wanqing, and when she saw her nodding, she immediately left the room, leaving only the two of them.

"Chairman, do you know what this exoskeleton armor means?" When he asked this, Ling Chen's eyes were rarely more solemn.

"I know. I didn't expect it to come to this point, I started out just to study a lightweight mechanical exoskeleton that would allow me to regain my ability to walk, but the results of the past few years have far exceeded my imagination. It wasn't until I saw the test data that I realized what a terrible thing I had made. A year ago, in order to prevent outsiders from knowing about these studies, I strengthened the security of the research room and signed a confidentiality agreement with all researchers. Until I've decided what to do with this exoskeleton armor, no one is allowed to leak it out. ”

"But someone still knows, could it be that there is a ghost in the research room?"

"I don't know. Nan Rong Wanqing shook her head slightly, "If it weren't for the person from the Royal Dragon Mansion who mentioned the scientific research room, I wouldn't know that the secrets of the scientific research room have been leaked." ”

"How many people in the lab know about the existence of this exoskeleton armor?"

"This has to ask Qin Lan, she has always been in charge of the scientific research room, you can ask her if you want to know anything. ”
