Chapter 404 Defective Exoskeleton

"Well, the subjects taught in the schools in the Far East are very comprehensive."

Ji Lin took the grenade launcher handed to him by the other party, untied the straps and put it on his back.

Tighten the straps and fix the grenade launcher on his back.

Very light and thin.

It is even lighter than a long sword in the hand.

This is also related to the fact that the mortar does not create a particularly high chamber pressure. Its special firing mode prevents it from causing a large chamber pressure, but it must also be at the cost of range.

2-inch/50mm ultra-light mortar, range: 200, weapon power: 110.

Holding the rifle in his hand, Ji Lin now looks more like a soldier fighting on the front line than before.

"I think so. You look like someone from the East."

Nicholas nodded and lowered his body to move the disassembled gear machine to the workbench.

In this small room, there is a special industrial machine tool for him. A large number of personal customized runes are used to enhance the accuracy of the machine tool to ensure that the machine tool is far more accurate than ordinary industrial machine tools.

"Are you interested in testing new equipment with you? It is harder to get other night crows to cooperate with you for testing than to kill them,"

Ji Lin nodded. He was more curious about what the system prompted, what things in the equipment library could interest him.

Gears, steam engines, runes.

What else can attract him.

"Don't worry, you have been thinking that those machines can move in this way, so humans should be able to support themselves through similar mechanical methods - you think, as long as humans wear steel armor like steam engines, there will be more weapons that can be used."

Nicholas smacked his lips, put his hands in the control console of the machine tool to adjust the rotation of the mechanical wheel shaft, and began to cut this gear machine while installing new long metal parts.

Welding, one piece.

An exoskeleton device slightly larger than the thickness of an arm was formed in the machine tool. The iron-gray color was gleaming with a little oil stain. The gears were slowly turning, and the five-finger frame was very considerately made.

"If it can be used by the machine, we should be able to borrow it a little. Although the design refers to some of the content of the rune armor..."

He picked up the exoskeleton with only one arm and threw it to Ji Lin.

Ji Lin saw the appearance of the gear machine after it was disassembled and reassembled. The passive power gloves... but they are not really passive. At least the technology of runes is used to reduce its weight, perhaps to provide other sources of power.

It's really interesting.

The source material infiltrates and takes over the original rune array. The function of these runes is to make it lighter, harder, and more flexible.

But in the end, Ji Lin's arm muscles are still needed to pull the gloves to move.

Stretch and contract the five fingers, with good flexibility.

"Have you ever considered equipping it with an external energy source? For example, a steam engine?"

Ji Lin recalled what the exoskeleton should be equipped with, and the power source must be one of them.

"The steam engine has its own limitations. There is no suitable power source for such a small machine."

The engineer wiped his hands with a blackened towel and kicked out the wooden box next to the workbench.

The box was filled with various broken shafts. Those too thin bearings could not bear the power brought by the fast-rotating and sensitive individual exoskeleton, and there were cylinders that could not withstand the pressure inside the boiler.

"The shaft and hydraulic components of the steam engine are used on it, which is extremely fragile, and there is also the problem of speed limit... But after giving up the external power source, the design of this thing has become simple, like a simplified version of armor."

Lighter, better protection.

Ji Lin stretched out his hand, closed it, and felt the process of the exoskeleton moving with his movements.

The slender chrome-plated skeleton was pulled to rotate, and the small gears in it were used to adjust the overall posture of the exoskeleton arm to ensure that every bit of power was used in the right place.

Without the obstruction of vision, Ji Lin could clearly see the rotation of each gear inside, just like watching his arm muscles contract.

Very wonderful.

"You are very capable, but why are you here?"

He controlled the exoskeleton in his hand to swing, which did not affect his normal operation and use of infantry weapons at all, and exclaimed sincerely.

New London should have a special engineering institute.

Ji Lin also saw in the newspaper that the engineering institute put a new super-large differential machine into operation.

"Oh, actually this place is pretty good - sufficient funding, never cut, I like this place."

The funding is dozens of times more than when I worked in the engineering college before, and I don't have to face those annoying colleagues... Of course, the engineering college is much better than the damn environment in the New World.

It's just that I have to face these extremely mentally unstable guys every day here.

Nicholas shrugged and pointed at the extremely rough exoskeleton frame in Ji Lin's hand.

"But you can guess how much the thing in your hand that is still usable cost."

Ji Lin blinked. He didn't know the prices in this world, but he still reported a number that he thought was quite high.

"Three hundred pounds?"

The engineer raised his eyebrows, grabbed the black and white cup placed next to the workbench with his black and greasy hands, and drank a large glass of water.

"The material cost of the thing in your hand is more than one thousand pounds, not to mention the time spent on it."

The precious time of a master rune maker.

Okay, the trial period is over, and we should start testing.

For example, the value of this thing to you humans who are stronger than ordinary humans is to enhance the grip ability and attack and defense ability.

Nicholas took out a pen and asked Ji Lin to cooperate with him to use this exoskeleton glove to test.

And not every night crow can endure such a long test. Over time, he has not found anyone to accompany him to test various newly developed equipment.

"Team leader of group 13?"

A night crow knocked on the door of the workshop and his eyes fell on the two people who were talking in the room.

"There is a letter for you."
