Chapter 110 The Faraday Cage
The company has reported to the relevant higher authorities, and the military is both surprised and pleasantly surprised by this. The first generation of exoskeleton has just been finalized and won the first purchase order. Tianqing's research and development speed is not uncommon.

"Thank you." The staff next to him handed He Su a cup of tea, and the latter took it and put it aside, and looked at Gu Cheng: "The content of your report is very approved by the military. It is really a way to squeeze toothpaste without hiding your technology." rare."

When hearing her say these words, Gu Cheng also stared at He Su, and suddenly inexplicably felt that the young lady major was quite relieved.

"Squeeze toothpaste? I'm worried that I won't be able to develop more advanced technologies in the future. As for me, I can't find where the upper limit of my technology development ceiling is even when I open the Hubble telescope." Gu Cheng said with a smile, which provoked Zhou next to him. The corners of Huang's mouth twitched, and it was hard to refute his undisguised behavior of pretending. After all, the actual "record" was really impressive. Even so, he was too arrogant. He was simply a megalomaniac. .

"The procurement plan will not change. You can rest assured to develop the second-generation military exoskeleton... Power Armor." He Su did not have much psychological fluctuations because of his words. He paused for a moment and added thoughtfully: "Equip a generation of exoskeletons. , Reserve one generation, R&D one generation, very excellent strategic planning, also in line with the vision and expectations of the military.”

The standard service period of Tianqing exoskeleton is 10 years, and it can generally be used for 15 years before being scrapped. The front-line troops must be equipped with the most advanced equipment. Once the second generation of Tianqing exoskeleton is born, the first generation equipment can be retired to the second line , transferred to other troops, and the first-line troops are equipped with the latest second-generation power armor equipment.

It is also pushed forward layer by layer. As long as the equipment is still in the service life stage, they can still be transferred to the next-level troop equipment. Finally, some key technical modules on the exoskeleton equipment can be stripped out, and then castrated The version is transferred to the police, and even after a few years of police use, it can also be transferred to civilian use to continue to use the waste heat until it is finally scrapped.

In this way, a favorable cycle can be formed from the top to the bottom, avoiding the waste of resources and making the best use of them.

As long as such a virtuous cycle is formed, the entire industry can also form a virtuous cycle, which can also bring a favorable effect on promoting the productivity of the whole society. Tianqing Company is not afraid that this will hinder its performance and sales, and the structure must be higher. , Only when the productivity of the whole society increases, can more people be able to pay for it.

"What are the technical highlights of the second-generation exoskeleton power armor?" He Su changed the topic, which is the focus of the military's most attention, and Gu Cheng's report did not elaborate on this aspect.

"follow me!"

Gu Cheng led He Su, Zhou Huang and others out of this office and entered a laboratory.

"Xiaoqing, call out the 2.0 index file."

As soon as Gu Cheng finished speaking, He Su and Zhou Huang looked at the big screen, while Gu Cheng came to the console, typed on the keyboard quickly, and turned to the big screen after a while.

"The technical highlight of the second generation lies in the substantial improvement in survivability, which will inevitably lead to further growth in combat effectiveness." After speaking, Gu Cheng called up a [-]D model from the sub-control screen and put it on the big screen.

"This is..." Zhou Huang looked at the simulated graphics on the screen with a hesitant face and hesitated to speak. If the first generation is advanced enough and looks sci-fi enough, the simulated graphics in front of him feel like sci-fi. It's as sci-fi as a fantasy concept map.

"Full-coverage metal equipment individual mechanical exoskeleton power armor." Gu Cheng glanced at Zhou Huang, then looked back at the big screen and continued: "The second-generation product has superior all-round bulletproof capabilities, and the focus is on solving the problem of the first-generation Exoskeletons cannot effectively defend against the vulnerability of EMP attacks."

For such sophisticated high-tech weapons and equipment, EMP electromagnetic pulse weapons can be said to be their natural enemies. Although EMP does not cause fatal damage to the human body, it is fatal to electronic equipment. Advanced weapons and equipment attacked by EMP will become useless. iron.

However, EMP is not as powerful as in the legend. In fact, it has been over-mythologized after a series of renderings in literary works. But the idea of ​​fighting without bloodshed is actually very naive.

Zhou Huang was also surprised when he heard that the second-generation exoskeleton had the ability to be immune to EMP attacks. He looked at the three-dimensional image on the big screen and said in a deep voice: "EMP weapons are certainly a great threat to electronic equipment, but they are not indefensible." , In fact, modern military facilities are equipped with an electromagnetic shielding device called a 'Faraday cage'... Could it be that the second-generation exoskeleton also uses the principle of a 'Faraday cage' to shield EMP attacks?"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Huang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately looked at Gu Cheng, who smiled and said: "That's right. The principle of the 'Faraday cage' is actually very simple, that is, to use the equipotential of the metal shell after electric shock to prevent the electromagnetic field." Entering and escaping is like a microwave oven. Electromagnetic waves cannot go out, and of course they cannot enter. Therefore, in addition to shielding electromagnetic interference, the closed 'Faraday cage' can also effectively prevent combatants and electronic equipment inside the exoskeleton. Get bombarded."

No wonder the second-generation individual mechanical exoskeleton is fully covered by Metal Gear. Zhou Huang muttered silently and suddenly became enlightened, but soon thought of a problem: "It's just that the requirements for the energy system of the exoskeleton are more stringent. , and can it really be a 'Faraday cage' that miniaturizes individual soldiers?"

In fact, the principle of the "Faraday cage" is not uncommon. The U.S. military developed electromagnetic shielding facilities as early as the 80s, and the American method was brutal. They used nuclear bombs for testing, so they were not ordinary electromagnetic pulse bombs.

In fact, a warship itself is a "Faraday cage", which is why there are fewer and fewer external weapon pendants on modern warships, and the appearance is becoming more and more simple and simple. From the outside, the entire hull looks clean and simple.

Because the layout of the shell around the ship happens to form a complete electromagnetic shielding network, instead of directly connecting the exposed radar and antenna equipment, and because of the existence of the shielding room, it will not receive even the most powerful electromagnetic interference. .

Zhou Huang suddenly looked at Gu Cheng and questioned: "The Faraday cage principle can be realized on a warship, but there are fighters inside the full-coverage exoskeleton, and they need to breathe and carry out normal life activities, so even full-coverage can't be achieved. gaps, then electromagnetic radiation must be able to penetrate through these gaps."

Modern warships can shield electromagnetic pulses because they are equipped with three-defense facilities, which can ensure that the entire ship is airtight and completely isolate the internal and external environments. The internal space of warships is large enough. Nuclear submarines may be the best example, which can ensure that the entire ship is airtight and the internal and external environments are completely isolated. The internal personnel completely rely on the internal circulatory system for survival and activities.

However, the exoskeleton, a new concept of miniaturized weapons and equipment, still has a combatant inside, and the narrow space is only slightly enlarged in proportion to a person's physique.

If the exoskeleton uses the principle of "Faraday cage" to deal with the threat of EMP, there is no problem in theory, but the technical requirements for the realization of the actual basis are extremely demanding.

This is the difficulty brought about by miniaturization.

It’s like humans can easily build a supercomputer now, but if we use the same principle to miniaturize this supercomputer, it becomes as big as a mobile phone and its performance indicators are equal to those of a supercomputer. It is difficult to go to the blue sky.
