Chapter 275: Exoskeleton protective clothing

Back in the refuge, Chen Xin was busy miniaturizing the isotope thermoelectric

battery, and at the same time, he was seriously thinking about how to make

exoskeleton protective clothing.

The manufacture of exoskeleton is a very simple task for Chen Xin. In fact,

even for the current Yan Country, it is not difficult to make an exoskeleton.

Before the disaster, various exoskeletons that have entered the practical

stage were put into use, not only in the military, but even the delivery

courier brothers had experimental exoskeletons.

However, this kind of exoskeleton is a passive exoskeleton. Simply put, it is

a weight-bearing bracket without a power source. Through scientific ergonomic

design, it can effectively support heavy objects and reduce the user's

physical exertion. It is a power-assisted device.

However, this kind of exoskeleton obviously cannot meet Chen Xin's

requirements, and he does not have to work hard to develop this kind of thing.

The country has already had things ready to use.

The exoskeleton that Chen Xin wants to develop should be called a mechanical

exoskeleton or a power exoskeleton. It is a mechanical device composed of a

steel frame and can be worn by people. This equipment can provide extra energy

for the movement of the limbs.

This kind of equipment is commonly found in various sci-fi works, such as the

fifty-piece armor of a good brother in "StarCraft", the Mark series iron suit

in "Iron Man", and the body of Tom in "Edge of Tomorrow" Sets of equipment,

the ugly and cute T series in the "Radiation" series, the Thor's hammer of the

Spartan warriors in the "Halo" series, etc...

These are the exoskeleton devices that compound people's cognition, or more

simply called power armor.

In fact, strictly speaking, there is not much difference between the two in

essence, or the exoskeleton just lacks a more solid protective power armor,

and the power armor is a more comprehensive exoskeleton.

The concept of this kind of equipment was proposed in the Federation in 1960.

After years of research, various related technologies and research and

development ideas about exoskeletons have long been proved. What is really

left is the hard bones that cannot be solved by modern technology. Up.

There are two most critical issues in this. The first is how to control the

exoskeleton in the human-computer interaction mode, and the second is the

power source of the exoskeleton.

The choice of the way of human-computer interaction in the development of

exoskeleton is a problem that is not so confusing, but it is not so easy to

solve.

The source of power is even more of a stumbling block for the exoskeleton to

enter the practical and promotion stage. It can be said that one of the

biggest difficulties in the development of exoskeleton is the problem of power

source.

In order to solve the power problem, some people have even proposed to make a

wired version of the power exoskeleton that drags a cable like EVA.

However, these problems are actually not difficult for Chen Xin. Take a few

steel pipes to weld a movable frame, arrange the mechanical transmission, and

then connect a battery. You don’t even need hydraulic assistance. Just a set

of the most primitive power exoskeleton. After it comes out, the rest of the

work can be completely handed over to the system, and Chen Xin only needs to

upgrade and it's done.

But this is not what Chen Xin wanted, or that this time Chen Xin needs to

consider more issues and factors.

Because this set of exoskeleton protective clothing is designed for civilian

use, it is mainly provided to construction workers and those who need to leave

the refuge to work outside, providing them with warmth and protection in

severe cold and harsh environments, as well as a certain degree of assistance.

Therefore, this set of exoskeleton protective clothing mainly focuses on

protection and warmth. It does not need to be too strong for boosting

enhancement, and because it is to be mass-produced and put into use, the cost

of production and maintenance and the convenience of use need to be reduced.

Consider it in the first place.

It is very simple for Chen Xin to get a set by himself. He can save the

survival point regardless of the cost. Even if a nano armor like Mark85 is

finally piled up, it is not a problem, but this is limited to his own use or

small batches. Used by people in the shelter.

Mass production of exoskeleton protective clothing is not a matter of a few or

dozens of sets, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of things. There are

hundreds of millions of people in the country, even if only one in ten people

need to use exoskeleton protective clothing. There are also tens of millions

of sets. If you do not consider the cost and maintenance issues, even a

country like Yan Guo cannot afford such a huge expenditure.

This is also the reason why Chen Xin gave up the idea of creating a power

armor for full body protection. It is not that it can't be done, nor is it too

dangerous to be suitable for civilian use, but there is no basis for

widespread popularization.

In fact, in Chen Xin’s vision, such a set of exoskeleton protective clothing

would not even be able to use the isotope temperature difference battery after

miniaturization. It is enough to install a rechargeable battery that can run

for dozens of hours. After all, its main function is to keep warm and protect.

Warmth is very well realized. There is a ready-made technology in the pilot's

anti-G suit. Add resistance wire like an electric blanket to make the

protective suit have electric heating function. The only problem is that the

battery can't bear it.

Moreover, according to Chen Xin’s judgment, in the future, this electric

heating method will become the main warm clothing of mankind together with

synthetic fiber clothing, because traditional natural fabrics, cotton, linen

and wool have lost most of the source of raw materials, even if Some of the

production capacity can be preserved, which is not something that ordinary

shelter residents can care about.

Therefore, for such a set of exoskeleton protective clothing, Chen Xin intends

to use one-piece synthetic fiber clothing with electric heating wire for

heating to ensure that the protective clothing is resistant to the cold.

After all, this is a relatively low cost, more convenient way to obtain raw

materials, and more convenient production.

In the past, it has become difficult to obtain raw materials for duck down and

cotton padding to keep warm. Therefore, instead of using padding to keep warm

in the past, it is better to install an electric blanket on your body.

As long as the outer structure's thermal performance is good enough, and the

electric heating method is effective enough, even at a low temperature of tens

of degrees below zero, such a set of exoskeleton protective clothing is enough

to ensure that the wearer will not be frostbited.

Coupled with a full-covering helmet connected to oxygen supply equipment, it

is even more capable of resisting damage to the wearer from various harmful

environments.

As for the part of the exoskeleton, it can be relatively simple. It can use

the existing technology mature unbounded exoskeleton as the basis, or even

directly use the unbounded exoskeleton as the ordinary civilian version, and

the booster system is installed as an upgraded version for the building.

Workers and other people who need heavy physical labor.

Chen Xin, part of the battery, intends to study a large-capacity high-

performance battery that can be repeatedly charged as the power source for

this exoskeleton protective suit after completing the miniaturized isotope

thermoelectric battery.

On the one hand, the exoskeleton protective clothing is ordinary civilian

equipment and does not require long-term power supply. In addition, the

isotope temperature difference battery is a radioactive element anyway, and

there will still be certain safety issues when it is popularized for civilian

use.

On the other hand, it is also because of cost considerations. Although the

production cost of high-performance batteries is not low~www.mtlnovel.com~, it

is still much cheaper compared to producing isotopic thermoelectric batteries.

Therefore, after comprehensively considering various factors, Chen Xin also

had a concept on how to design this exoskeleton protective suit.

I found a set of old work clothes I bought from my father when I was still

working, and pulled out the electric blanket that was no longer useful after

installing the ground source heat pump, and then went to the warehouse to get

the exoskeleton needed Chen Xin sat in front of the workbench, preparing to

make a prototype machine.

Taking old work clothes as the main body, adding electric blankets as

materials, a set of protective clothing with electric heating function was

freshly released after the update was confirmed.

After that, the battery, exoskeleton, and helmet need to be installed.

Among the three, Chen Xin still uses batteries, but this time he upgraded the

batteries in a direction that can be quickly and repeatedly charged, instead

of making them into high-durability nuclear batteries.

As for the helmet, Chen Xin only intends to make a simplified cover for the

time being. As for whether to add other functions in the future, it is a

matter of subsequent research and development. As a prototype, it is enough to

be able to seal, provide oxygen and block the external cold.
