Chapter 393 The Sheriff Ready to Go
[UG1 police exoskeleton]
[Description: Strength enhancement, tolerance improvement, flexibility enhancement, communication and information system integration, non-lethal weapon integration, vital sign monitoring]
[Energy: FlexiGraph standard energy storage battery, which can operate at full power for 24 hours after full storage]
This exoskeleton is a modified version of a lightweight military exoskeleton. In order to reduce the cost of the two production lines, most of the parts are of the same model.
The weapon system has been eliminated, and new armor plates made of energy-absorbing steel and graphene batteries have been added to the main protective parts, such as the back, chest and shoulders. The bulletproof and explosion-proof capabilities are quite good.
However, using this exoskeleton still requires a brain-computer interface for brain synchronization.
In the cyberpunk world, this is a dangerous thing, so the exoskeleton agreement clearly states that using this exoskeleton, law enforcement officers will bear a certain degree of risk, and the entire law enforcement process will be recorded and uploaded to the public network .
And because this is a serious set of exoskeleton armor, its actual implementation will be met with many doubts.
Within the New York City Council and the municipal government, many members have raised questions and hope that voters will join them in expressing their dissatisfaction.
But what about.
Absolutely legal protest basically means that it is absolutely impossible to prevent the rulers from legally enacting a law.
Therefore, although there are internal doubts, they are basically all talk and no action, and the passage of the procurement bill did not even encounter many obstacles.
The current police chief, George, is a standard bureaucrat who believes in the system:
If Anthony is not the mayor and Lille is not a supporter of the mayor, even if someone tells him that you can use this kind of armored law enforcement to arrest criminals and prevent casualties, he will not use it.
Once these conditions are met, he will even be the first to wear such a thing.
Click.
The final fastener was assembled, and the exoskeleton was locked from top to bottom along his spine.
The helmet is made of polycarbonate material with high transparency, which has good impact resistance and allows the wearer to reveal his face, reducing citizens' fear of this equipment. It can also be equipped with a HUD for AR guidance.
"Wow." Sheriff Stacey slowly stood up and looked at his hands that were already covered by exoskeletons.
It's amazing. According to the technical parameters, this thing weighs more than fifty kilograms, but I can't feel the weight at all.
even
He looked at the 100kg barbell beside him.
The exoskeleton operates under the control of nerves and grabs the barbell——
Deadlifting a 100kg barbell with one hand is already the top level of physical fitness among humans. Can he lift it?
This tension caused George's brain to send corresponding instructions and transmitted them to the exoskeleton.
This sport requires strong strength, as well as excellent body coordination and balance. In the final analysis, such movements that exceed human limits no longer test one or two muscle groups.
Zhi——
The motor is running, the joints are adjusted, and the fingers are tightly clasped on the horizontal bar.
People on the sidelines held their breath unconsciously: George Stacy was a respectable police chief, but not a world-class strongman.
Can he lift it?
The weak motor sound suddenly became sharper, which was somewhat obvious in the quiet hall where the drop of a needle could be heard——
"ha--"
Click!
Cracks were created on the floor. Under the shocked eyes of everyone, the 100kg barbell was slowly lifted. Although it was not fast, it was quite stable!
"Thank you for your generous gift."
The barbell was above his head. George looked at the barbell in his hand with an incredulous expression, and then turned into a smile——
boom!
The barbell was lowered, and when it was about to hit the ground, it was released and hit the ground. The low sound proved that it was not a prop.
There was thunderous applause.
"Huh -" Sheriff Stacey shook his head, the movement was so smooth that he even forgot that he was still wearing an exoskeleton.
His daughter Gwen immediately stepped forward and knocked around her father as if checking whether the express was damaged.
Lille also applauded: "How do you feel?"
"I felt it was too exaggerated. I thought I was lifting 20kg dumbbells."
The exoskeleton follows the centaur mecha from the cyberpunk world, which is the feedback logic of the linear frame.
The user needs to bear at least 10% of the weight, mainly to make the neurofeedback more sensitive.
Lear increased the weight-bearing ratio of the police exoskeleton in order to reduce the gap caused by the driver taking off the exoskeleton.
In the future, the output may be limited to 80kg - after all, this is police equipment, not weightlifting equipment.
Gwen, who was touching and beating her next to her, felt even more complicated:
Her dad became RoboCop!
"Is it necessary to use this kind of thing?" Gwen whispered.
"Of course it is necessary." Chief Stacey turned his head and put away his helmet and visor. "If the police can carry all the equipment with them, they can deal with all situations."
Sometimes, accidental death occurs because a stun gun is not brought and the person nervously fires in the face of agitated citizens.
Sometimes it's because you need to carry a gun, but you bring a non-lethal stun gun.
Law enforcement is a complicated business, especially when the police don't know whether the other person is going to pull out a gun from his crotch.
Although the police will tell the officers what equipment is best to bring according to the situation of the call, it is always not as convenient as carrying everything with you.
Mayor Anthony on the side beamed: "These equipment should be of great help in firefighting and other situations."
"Indeed." Sheriff Stacey nodded, "It can even be said to be more helpful."
The NYPD, including informal employees, has a total of just over 50,000 people. Calculated based on an armed rate of 10%, only 5,000 units have been sold.
The price of each exoskeleton is only $30,000.
The bigger expenses are vehicle and special equipment replacements.
The NYPD has a total of 9,000 police cars and 120 motorcycles. If two-thirds of the cars are replaced, the number will be 6,000. Calculated based on the average price of each car of $80,000.
Suddenly he made a fortune again.
If we can bring in the fire department, we can make another fortune.
This money is not small money for the municipal government, but the sales of the products will benefit the workers and enterprises on the entire production line.
It’s not that there’s no resistance, but the driving force is also very strong, and everyone is just trying to make ends meet.
Lille also plans to continue to use Hammond and Martin to promote this model in other cities——
When the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, everyone thought it could be delayed for a while, and implementing new technologies was a good way to delay it.
Calculate the time, because of Roxon Energy's mess, Detroit's bankruptcy is expected to be earlier.
The next thing is to test your eloquence: after all, the oil monopoly advocated by Roxon is also a very tempting direction. As long as they spread the money from the monopoly appropriately, some people will naturally think that helping Roxon monopolize energy will make life better. .
After the preparations are completed, all that remains is the time to train the troops.
Anthony was brewing emotions and planned to issue a new task to the police officers in the police station, when the police detective beside him received a call:
"Hello, this is the New York City Police Department, Mr. Stone, what's the problem?"
"Slow down, you said they are blocking your door. Okay, I understand."
Sheriff Stacey, who had just tried on the exoskeleton, was worried that he had nowhere to perform. He looked at his men:
"who is it?"
"Wash Stone, whose mother was my informant in Hell's Kitchen, called me to tell me that the building company in their neighborhood had blocked their door."
The policemen in the police station all smiled knowingly.
Although they didn't know that Anthony planned to come over and speak about some administrative decrees.
But they knew that their director would definitely want to go out for a walk now.
As expected, Chief Stacey said: "What cases has he helped you investigate? Let me take a look."
"It's a pretty long case." The man pushed away the notebook on the table, picked up the microphone, "Turn up the 'Hell's Kitchen Serial Murder Case'.
This happened more than half a year ago. Someone used a steel stick to kill people there. However, the man suspected of being the murderer was hit by a truck and died. The person behind the scenes has never been found. "
Lille and Anthony looked at each other silently:
They also contributed transcripts to this case.
