Three Hundred and Two Assembled

In most people's minds, arms are much more important than fingers, so they instinctively feel that connecting 13 amputated arms is much more difficult than connecting fingers.

However, the bone nerves and blood vessels of the arm are much thicker than those of the fingers. In fact, the difficulty of replanting a severed arm is far less than that of a severed finger.

The situation of the manipulator is similar, the hydraulic device of the knee and elbow joints is not difficult at all, but installing more than a dozen miniature hydraulic devices in a place as big as the palm, and installing supporting sensors, even Ye Han, a layman, can imagine it. difficulty.

"No wonder the power armor has to be tailor-made." Ye Han said with emotion as he stretched out his right hand and clenched it again.

Everyone's reaction speed and exercise habits are different. Making the sensor fit the operator's exercise habits is the key to exerting combat effectiveness.

Of course, tailor-made armor is also very important. Although the overall characteristics of human beings are very similar, there are many differences in each person. From height and weight to finger length, they all have different characteristics. It is impossible to generalize with a unified standard.

"You just know!" Qu Jiang glared at Ye Han, then turned around and took a box full of dark green small parts from his colleague, "Master Xue, please."

"It should." Master Xue took the box and waved at Ye Han, "This way!"

Ye Han was placed on a chair by Master Xue, and his right hand was placed on Master Xue's workbench. Master Xue put on his glasses, turned on the extremely bright lights, and picked out one that was no bigger than a fingernail from the box. The metal piece was carefully stuck on the back of Ye Han's hand.

Ye Han didn't dare to disturb Master Xue's work, so he raised his head and asked in a low voice, "Old Qu, is this thing so thin, is it bulletproof?"

The thickest part of the piece of metal is only about three millimeters, and the thinnest part is less than one millimeter thick. Even if the mechanical strength of the titanium alloy is high, it is impossible to block bullets with such a thin piece of metal, right?

"Don't worry!" Qu Jiang gave Ye Han a look full of confidence, "The hydraulic device and the micro-motor are also made of titanium alloy, so it's not a problem to block the bullet, but it will definitely be deformed if you get hit by a bullet, so this thing is also anti-bullet. You don't have any hope of being invulnerable."

"No, it's better to change to new material bulletproof gloves!" Ye Han shouted dissatisfied.

"Bullshit!" Qu Jiang scolded, "The hydraulic device on the gauntlet is not attractive, with these equipment support, no matter what movements your hands make, the hydraulic device can help you effectively fix your posture..."

"Can you put it in a more common way?" Ye Han looked confused.

A few busy female researchers nearby burst out laughing, and Qu Jiang's face darkened: "Gloves are soft, but gauntlets are hard. Wearing gauntlets can lift half a ton of weight. Wearing gloves, you don't want your arms any more. no?"

Ye Han suddenly realized: "If you say that, don't I understand? If you are dealing with a lowly person like me, don't sing about Yangchun Baixue."

Now even Master Xue smiled, and the parts in his hand fell to the workbench with a flick.

"Okay, just keep your mouth shut and don't disturb Master Xue's work." Qu Jiang hurriedly found a step for himself.

Master Xue glanced at Qu Jiang without saying a word, picked up the dropped armor piece, and clasped it neatly on the back of his hand.

No one paid attention to Ye Han, he could only focus on Master Xue's work.

As expected of a senior technician, Master Xue performed the installation quickly and accurately, but within a short while, the manipulator with its "internal organs" exposed was already covered by splicing nails of various shapes.

Putting the largest piece of armor on the back of the hand, Master Xue picked up the oil pot, touched each joint of the hand armor one by one, took off his glasses and let out a sigh of relief: "Okay, let's try it."

The silver-white robot hand has now turned into a dark green robot hand with a particularly thick back. Ye Han raised his hand and found that the robot hand had more than doubled in weight. It is only a cotton glove, and the nails between the fingers cannot be closed together. It feels like the palm is full of mud or dough.

Stretching the palm a few times, opening and closing the fingers a few times, carefully feeling the touch between the fingers, Ye Han grinned and said: "It's a bit astringent, please increase the sensitivity a little bit."

"No need." Qu Jiang shook his head and vetoed, "The gauntlets have just been assembled and need to be adjusted for a while."

Ye Han was stunned: "This also needs running-in? Isn't it printed out? It should fit perfectly, right?" There is almost no gap between the sheath on the finger joints and the finger cot, and every time the finger flexes and extends, you can feel the nail Precise fit between pieces.

"Of course there is no problem with tight seams." Qu Jiang said, "I can assure you that if you take off the armor and put it in the water now, not a drop of water will leak in, but no matter how precise it is, errors will inevitably occur. It also takes time to get used to the armor, understand?"

"Just tell me to familiarize me with the equipment!" Ye Han changed his way of understanding.

"It's okay to say so." Qu Jiang pushed his glasses, "It is said that such high-precision parts must be assembled in a dust-free environment, but considering that power armor must be used on the battlefield with harsh environments, is it possible to use it in a dust-free environment? It doesn’t matter if you assemble it in a dusty environment.”

Ye Han chuckled: "Should we still have to conduct reliability tests, such as flying dust, flooding and falling?"

"It has been done a long time ago. As long as it is waterproof and sealed, it can be used normally even underwater." Qu Jiang said.

"It still needs to be sealed?" Ye Han shook his arm, "Isn't it water-proof?"

Qu Jiang explained: "The armor does not allow water to enter, but the joint between the battery pack and the armor is a movable part and must be waterproofed to ensure that no water enters. This is one of the reasons why the armor cannot carry a spare battery."

"Uh, is there another reason?"

"Yes, you also tried it just now. Once the power is used up, the armor will not be able to move at all, so the power armor cannot change the battery for itself. If it is a group dispatch, you can consider arranging a special person to bring a spare battery."

"However, using power armor with traditional tactics is tantamount to wasting the performance of power armor. According to the current test data, the combat effectiveness of each power armor is equivalent to an infantry squad. A power armor battle group of two to three people is most suitable for the battlefield. , Even if someone has a spare battery, it can’t take care of so many people.”

"Also, power armor is still a new thing at present. It cannot be used on the frontal battlefield in a short period of time. It can only play a role in special operations. Although I don't know special operations, as far as I know, the characteristics of special operations It’s precise, fast, sudden, and quick, a special operation involving power armor, it doesn’t make sense that it won’t be over in twenty minutes, what do you think?” (To be continued.)
