Chen Xin walked out of the shelter wearing an exoskeleton protective suit, while Han Ping followed him vigilantly, looking around with his eyes to prevent possible dangers.
Originally, when he saw that Chen Xin wanted to go out to test the exoskeleton protective suit, Han Ping wanted him to test it for Chen Xin and let Chen Xin stay in the shelter.
After all, Han Ping was introduced to Chen Xin by his second uncle and came to work as his bodyguard and driver. In addition, since Chen Xin came back, he has established a cooperative relationship with the country. Naturally, Han Ping can understand the importance of Chen Xin. During this period, people from the army even came to him and asked him to carefully protect Chen Xin.
This naturally made Han Ping particularly concerned about Chen Xin's safety. Fortunately, Chen Xin rarely left the shelter, and his shelter was built as solidly as a bunker. Even if he had to go out, he would still drive that armored vehicle. RV, so Han Ping usually doesn't need to worry about Chen Xin's safety.
But this time Chen Xin wanted to test the exoskeleton protective suit, and he actually walked out of the shelter. This inevitably made Han Ping nervous, even more nervous than when he was a soldier on his first mission.
Fortunately, Chen Xin didn't go far, he just conducted the test at the entrance of the shelter.
Chen Xin, who had just come out of the shelter, did not turn on the heating function of the exoskeleton protective suit. He needed to test the protective suit's ability to withstand low temperatures and cold under normal circumstances.
The test results were somewhat unsatisfactory. The instrument specially installed on Chen Xin's arm showed that the ambient temperature was -37°C. He only stood in the snow for a short while before he felt that his legs were so cold that he was about to lose consciousness, and his body also felt cold. Even the surface of the clothes showed signs of being frozen.
This made Chen Xin quickly turn on the heating function of his clothes.
The temperature soon rose, and hot air was continuously radiated from the electric heating wires all over the body, quickly dispelling the cold air in Chen Xin's body, and even his feet, which were already cold and somewhat unconscious, felt a burst of heat. Recover from the numbness.
Feeling that the temperature was rising, Chen Xin moved his hands and feet again, preparing to check the temperature displayed by the instrument on his hand, but he realized that the instrument on his hand could only display the ambient temperature and had no function of monitoring the temperature inside the clothes.
This made Chen Xin want to slap his forehead, but when he raised his hand halfway, this idea was abandoned, because the reaction speed of the exoskeleton was still not that fast, and his hand was only raised halfway.
Looking at his half-raised arm, Chen Xin knew that there were indeed many things that needed to be modified in this exoskeleton protective suit. For example, the status display that he just thought of should not only be able to display the ambient temperature and internal temperature, but also oxygen and battery power. Display so that users can know their status at any time.
At the same time, Chen Xin also discovered that he was missing one of the most critical components, which was the intercom. Just now, he wanted to shout to Han Ping and ask him to record it for him, but found that the sound could not be transmitted, and that's when he discovered the problem.
Sealed helmets do perform well in terms of wind protection, warmth and oxygen supply, but after isolating the inside and outside, there is no way for the voice to be transmitted without using a communication device.
This is inevitably somewhat inconvenient.
However, these are all details. Chen Xin will not deal with them himself. He will hand over the prototype to the country, and the country's R&D department will also fill in these details, so he does not need to worry too much.
What really needs to be tested and considered is the flexibility of this exoskeleton protective suit and the warmth and heating functions that have just been tested.
The thermal performance can only be said to be unsatisfactory. This suit itself is not designed to prevent cold and keep warm, so the cold-proof effect is only marginal. The heating function is not bad. After just turning it on for a short while, Chen Xin already felt warm all over.
So he did a set of paradoxical radio gymnastics in the snow, and basically forgot all the moves.
However, although what he did was messy, Chen Xin was not actually doing broadcast gymnastics. He was just testing the flexibility of his exoskeleton in this way.
After all, when it comes to moving the body, radio gymnastics is definitely second to none in terms of effectiveness.
After completing a set of messy broadcast gymnastics, Chen Xin finally had a complete idea of the flexibility of the improved exoskeleton. Generally speaking, it was very good in all aspects. The upper limbs could be raised and lowered at will with both hands, and he could move forward. There is no problem in stretching forward and backward, and bending at will. It basically meets the activity needs of the arm under normal circumstances.
It's just that it adopts a force feedback operation method, so the response sensitivity is a bit slow, and there is a sense of delay, but it does not affect the use. It is just a slower movement when using it.
After all, this is just a civilian exoskeleton, mainly used for moving bricks on construction sites, not for use on the battlefield, and the response does not need to be that sensitive.
After testing the sensitivity of the exoskeleton, Chen Xin considered that he had completed the test, so he turned and walked towards the door of the shelter.
When Han Ping saw that Chen Xin had finished the test, he was quietly relieved, but he did not relax his vigilance. He still looked around carefully to avoid possible dangers.
Just as the two were about to return to the shelter, a light suddenly came from a distance.
"Mr. Chen, it looks like he's coming this way." Han Ping said to Chen Xin, and asked him to go to the shelter first: "For your own safety, you'd better go in first."
Chen Xin did not insist. He nodded and walked into the shelter. Although the exoskeleton protective suit he wore was quite warm, it was hot on the outside and cold on the inside. After the ice on the surface melted, the water vapor had already wet the clothes. , especially the trouser legs were all wet.
This made Chen Xin discover another area that could be improved, that is, the clothes must be waterproofed. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if the clothes are worn in a dry place. If the ambient humidity is slightly higher, it may turn into an ice shell.
However, in addition to waterproofing, de-icing is also something that needs to be paid attention to. Otherwise, the joints of the exoskeleton will be unable to move due to freezing, or the circuit will be short-circuited due to freezing and water intrusion, but many problems will occur.
So after returning to the shelter, Chen Xin took off the exoskeleton protective suit.
When taking it off, Chen Xin also discovered that this suit also needs a temperature adjustment function. It is really no problem to keep heating it outdoors. Anyway, the temperature outside is low enough, and keeping the heating on is just right to keep warm.
But indoors, if there are only two options: switch and no option to adjust the heating temperature according to the ambient temperature, this clothes will be a bit useless.
Moreover, the temperature adjustment function is not complicated. The temperature control technology is just a matter of modifying the control switch.
Putting the exoskeleton protective suit he had dragged off on the workbench, Chen Xin took out the notebook on the side and recorded what he had just thought, preparing to improve it step by step.
