Chapter 174 (1/2)
If power armor is the whole body plate armor of heavy cavalry, the mechanical exoskeleton is the lock armor of light infantry.
The full weight is less than 10kg, and the front polyethylene armor can defend 7-12 rounds of 62mm rifle bullets. If it's a rifle on the other side of the world, you don't want to pierce its armor at all.
After equipping, the maximum load of individual soldier will rise to 300 kg.
The power source is two fist sized shaped batteries attached to the upper part of the pelvis. After a full charge, the wearer can run for an hour with a load of 300 kg at a speed of 12 km / h, or fight for 12 hours in a conventional environment. When the electric energy is exhausted, it can be charged by solar charger or by sub crystal.
It can be said that in addition to the space technology that has not yet seen any effect, another reason for Jiang Chen to attract Jiang Lin is the mechanical exoskeleton technology of the leg boutique. Although he didn't succeed in his father's career, he learned more or less under his father's compulsion.
After experiencing the strength of the K1 type mechanical exoskeleton, Jiang Chen immediately raised the question of whether or not to train the army.
”Mass production of troops?” Jiang Lin was stunned after hearing Jiang Chen's inquiry, and then his face showed a strange expression, ”do you know the cost and time of producing such a set of mechanical exoskeleton?”
”How much?” Jiang Chen asked without any care.
”At the market price on the sixth block, the cost of the suit you're wearing now is about 900 sub crystals. 900 sub crystal can buy more than a dozen slaves and give them a rifle. No matter what kind of super soldiers, it is impossible to win more than a dozen guns. ” Sighed. Jiang Lin calculated the economic account for Jiang Chen.
”But now sixth block is no longer selling people.”
Press it on the metal plate attached to the back neck, and a slight electric current will sound. Jiang Chen took off the mechanical exoskeleton that was put on his body.
”The sixth block doesn't sell people, but it's sold elsewhere. Take Suzhou City for example. There is the biggest slave market in Jiangsu and Hangzhou province. They will come to the sixth block next spring - ”Jiang Lin tried to persuade his boss.
”But we can't wait until next spring.” Jiang Chen put the mechanical exoskeleton into his hand with a smile, ”next year the snow will melt, and the mutants will march from No.7 to Qingpu. And we, as the only surviving force that can handle it here, will bear the brunt of the pressure of mutants. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Lin's face turned pale in an instant.
He has never heard of it. If he has, he would not dare to work here. The reason why he wanted to persuade his boss to give up mass production of exoskeletons was just because he was worried that his time for rocket research would be occupied.
”Regret coming here?” Jiang Chen laughed and said.
Jiang Lin swallowed and vomited. He looked to one side and said, ”I dare not.”
”Don't be afraid, and your heart rate has told me you regret.” Jiang Chen slapped him on the shoulder with a smile, and did not blame his timidity. ”It's normal to be afraid of death. If you are afraid, do as I say
”I've heard that there are thousands of mutants in land seven.” Is Jiang Lin hard.
”Three thousand to be exact, maybe a little more, but it's not something you need to worry about. Mechanical exoskeleton. It has to be mass production. No matter how much subcrystal you spend, you have to get me 50 sets by January next year. ” Jiang Chen said with an unquestionable tone.
Even if a set of 900 sub crystals, 50 sets is only 50000 sub crystals. The fish bone base is not poor in money, the wealth accumulated in the early stage has come to cash into combat power.
I swallowed and spit again. Jiang Lin looked at the serious look in the boss's eyes and nodded hard.
”I try, but I can't do it alone. I need assistants.”
”How much. Just say it. ”
”I think it takes 10 people to build metal skeletons by hand and 4 people to weld chips. Eight people are needed to draw the circuit and a rough estimate of the refitted power system. At least 40 workers are required to complete an assembly line. In this way, we should be able to finish 50 sets of exoskeletons by January next year Jiang Lin said with a bitter smile.
The total population of the base is only over 200, and everyone has a job, so we can't take out these 40 people.
However, Jiang Chen's next words made him dumbfounded.
”Give you 80 people, can you double the output?”
”Yes, yes, but are there so many idle people on the base?” Jiang Lin couldn't help speaking out.
”You don't have to worry about it. It's coming soon. From now on, you just need to study how to design the production line, how to train your assistants, and what materials need to be purchased. People will be in place in five days. ” Jiang Chen laughs.
There are not so many people in the fish bone base, but there are in Shenxiang town.
More than 700 survivors have been captured by mutants, just bring them back.
As for whether they will be obedient?
In waste soil, there is no essential difference between being rescued and being captured.If they want to survive, they have to be obedient.
From Jiang Lin's laboratory, Jiang Chen went to the community center and found Wang Qing, who was in charge of the base warehouse.
When Jiang Chen came to the office, the freckled girl was checking the account books of the warehouse as usual. When she saw Jiang Chen, her eyes brightened, she immediately put down her work and got up to meet her.
