Chapter 14 Powered Armor

He rushed to the top of the building regardless of anything, opened the door and saw a majestic powered armor with its back facing him. Seeing this real powered armor, Dong Chen was very excited.

This is a T-45 powered armor. Its external armor is full of traces of history, but no one will underestimate its combat effectiveness. Its height is about two meters and two. When it stands next to you In front of it, coupled with its steel body, it was quite oppressive.

Dong Chen suppressed his inner excitement and stepped forward to stroke the cold armor. In fact, the T-45 power armor could hardly be called a regular "military power armor." It was originally an experimental device used to experiment with the auxiliary power system. It is used for construction in industrial and hazardous areas, which can be seen from its exposed pipes and handles on the chest.

However, in 2066 in the history of the game, the troops occupied Alaska under the leadership of General Jingwei. Facing a large number of conventional infantry, they had to temporarily modify this industrial equipment into militarized form and then distribute it to the troops. .

However, although it is just an emergency substitute, it also has the basic characteristics of power armor - the external armor (although it is just a steel plate) also gives the wearer a stronger defense than ordinary combat armor, and the auxiliary power system can allow soldiers to They carry heavy weapons and act as human tanks.

However, this power armor is an experimental product after all, and its shortcomings are equally obvious.

First of all, the T-45's steel armor has very limited defense. Even without a Gauss rifle, ordinary heavy machine guns and heavy sniper rifles can still cause enough fatal damage to it;

Of course, this limited defense is only for the radiation world with powerful weapons. If it is put into the real world, ordinary heavy machine guns and heavy sniper rifles will definitely pose no threat to it. The only thing that can pose a threat to it is anti-tank missiles. And frontal hits from artillery shells, aircraft cannons may also be able to do so.

However, these latter weapons are sufficient for fighting main battle tanks, and the T-45 is just an emergency test product, not a true "military power armor". Its performance design and armor protection are not very good, and it cannot keep up with the It’s pretty good that real-life main battle tanks die from the same weapon.

Secondly, the T-45 does not completely solve the problem of heat dissipation. If you want to operate for a long time, you must first wear a special protective suit to prevent the operator from being cooked by the micro-nuclear engine. Without this protective suit, then the powered armor must stop operating after a maximum of two hours of operation and can only continue to operate by opening the armor for manual cooling;

Finally, it is a test product after all. It was originally intended for use in industrial and hazardous area construction and is a civilian product. Therefore, this power armor has not received any electronic warfare protection and is easily interfered by ECM, which means it is easily affected by electronic warfare. The attack is paralyzed.

Although according to the settings in the game, this T-45 powered armor is very good, but this cannot stop Dong Chen from being enthusiastic about it. You must know that the real world is only 2017. Not to mention powered armor, powered exoskeletons are also It's just the beginning stage.

"This is real power armor. It's right in front of me now. I can even touch its hard external armor. Do you want to try it? Hehe!"

"Needless to say! Haha!"

Dong Chen laughed loudly and put the nuclear fusion core into the energy cabin. Here again, the difference between the real thing and the game props was shown. After the nuclear fusion core was put in, it automatically turned half a circle, and during the rotation, it moved towards It went a little deeper inside, and then the energy hatch was sealed by the hatch cover.

Yes, this is reasonable. How can there be any reason for the energy core to be exposed?

He rubbed his hands excitedly, grabbed the circular switch and twisted it clockwise. After releasing his hand, the circular switch moved outward again, making a "chi" sound.

"~Chi~KaKaKa~Chi~哐!" A sound of mechanical transformation sounded. Dong Chen inexplicably thought of Iron Man and Transformers when he heard these sounds, and he became even more excited.

The rear armor of the power armor spread out in all directions piece by piece under the support of the lining bones, revealing its internal structure to Dong Chen. Due to its good airtightness, its internal equipment was not only as smooth as new, but also There was no trace of history, which made Dong Chen couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of technology. This power armor has been idle here for a hundred years. Except for the slight rust on the external armor, the internal condition is still in good condition!

Dong Chen observed its internal structure carefully. The interior of the lining of the bones was a layer of heat-resistant and impact-resistant flexible material. Due to the obstruction of the flexible material, the support structure and power system of the power armor could not be seen, but according to the game's design Definitely, its legs must be equipped with a hydraulic system, because it can jump. As for why its hydraulic system is so flexible, it can only be classified as black technology.

As for the specific structure, we can only know it after removing its external armor. Of course, this will have to wait until he learns to repair power armor.

Since the height of the power armor is about two meters and two, the arms and legs of ordinary people cannot be that long, so his legs are elevated. After putting his feet on the elevated platform, it will be fixed, and the elevated platform The driver's foot movements are synchronously transmitted to the feet of the power armor through mechanical transmission.

The same is true for the hand structure. The hand operation part is synchronously transmitted to the hand of the power armor through an extension device in the forearm through mechanical transmission. The operating part of the hand consists of a palm fixation device, a finger transmission ring, and a number of operating buttons.

When driving the power armor, put your fingers into the corresponding transmission ring, and the palm fixation device will automatically fix the palm. There is sufficient space in the operating area, and the palm and fingers can move freely. If you want to operate the electronic system of the armor, stretch your fingers forward. , just press the corresponding button on the inner wall of the operating area. Infrared scanning, thermal energy induction, identification of friend or foe, exit button, and the control of some external connection modules can all be operated.

Due to differences in concepts or cost considerations, the power armor is not equipped with an intelligent assistance system, so some operations can only be controlled by buttons.

The body movements of the power armor are fed back by the power induction device inside the armor. Numerous dynamic sensors are installed inside the armor, which will capture and feedback the driver's movements in real time, and then transmit them to the servo motor of the power armor. With hydraulic assistance, you can move, so the advantage of this set of power armor is that it can be operated without too much learning, because it is basically equivalent to wearing a large-sized suit. How the driver moves, the power The armor moves as it should, and its simple operation is exactly what the battlefield and soldiers need.

Since the driver's hands and feet are in the legs and arms of the power armor, the power armor looks particularly thick and strong, making it look powerful and completely different from the slender armor of Iron Man.

Dong Chen put his backpack on the ground, took off his helmet and put it next to him. Pip-Boy and the holster hanging on his thigh did not need to be taken off. Since the power armor was about two meters tall, there was still a lot of space inside. Some places are not completely close to the body, and there are some extra spaces that allow the driver to enter wearing a wrist-mounted computer and a self-defense pistol, and some emergency supplies are also stocked.

It seems that the purpose is to improve the driver's survivability after losing the power armor.
