Hex Technology Tycoon of American Comics

The courses at Imperial University were not very intensive. After becoming familiar with Dr. Otto, Karl went straight to the laboratory prepared by Obadiah.

This place is in the suburbs of New York, a small research institute.

Although it occupies a small area, it is well-equipped and well-staffed.

"The individual soldier exoskeleton project is a plan that the military has been investing in for a long time. This plan aims to create equipment that allows soldiers to exert superhuman strength and become super soldiers on the battlefield."

In the laboratory, Carl is introducing the basic contents of individual soldier exoskeletons to his team.

I have to say that Obadiah is quite courageous and let him, a street kid, be directly responsible for this project.

Of course, this is also related to Obadiah's purpose--

In fact, the bald man did not expect the project team to succeed at all. On the contrary, he hoped that Karl could operate it and transfer the research funds to him "when needed" to make a turnover.

Stark's books are healthy, but bigger cash flow is always better.

In his opinion, Carl was made for this.

One of the researchers raised his hand: "Like Captain America?"

"Yes, like Captain America." Carl nodded with a smile, and then added, "Actually, this plan is...a low-end version of the Super Soldier Serum.

As you all know, we created Captain America in World War II, and the military has been trying to replicate that super soldier ever since.

But the inventor of the serum, Dr. Erskine, has passed away, so the project has not progressed.

With the development of ergonomics and other disciplines, we have turned our attention to the use of mechanical means to strengthen soldiers. "

The project team nodded and basically understood the project.

What they want to make is a single-soldier exoskeleton that can turn people into supermen!

“In fact, there has been a lot of research in this area, United Aerospace has opened up a lot of ergonomic data to us, and Stark Industries is a giant in arms manufacturing.

I hope to be able to produce the first version of the finished product within the next two months - this is also what the military expects of us. "

Upon hearing this request, the team in the seats began to whisper.

Exoskeletons are nothing new. In fact, every country is doing it, even college students are doing it.

But military exoskeletons are another story. Two months... seems unrealistic.

Moreover, in addition to solving ergonomic issues with this thing, the energy issue is the top priority, which is actually somewhat unsolvable.

The Osborne Group seems to have developed a new type of chemical fuel under Norman's leadership, which has a high energy ratio - but the problem is, that is the result of more than a year of research!

"Sir." Someone raised his hand, "Wouldn't this be a little short? After all, this is a...serious project."

"I know, but there's nothing I can do about it. In two months, there will be an expo jointly organized by United Aerospace and several companies. They want us to come up with a first version."

Karl shrugged - the evil Party A.

In fact, United Aerospace is not unkind. In fact, they do not ask to solve the energy problem, or even do a good job.

They just wanted Carl to make a version that looked cool and was easy to display.

But Karl didn't want this - that's what it means to use chicken feathers as a sword. He deliberately concealed the news, hoping to squeeze these researchers and pass the blame to United Aerospace.

"Starting from tomorrow, I will check the progress every day and work hard. Everyone, this is a difficult subject."

Carl clapped his hands and dismissed the meeting.

The team needs to digest today's content and start working in earnest starting tomorrow.

Back on the subway, Karl called out his panel:

[Hex Technology Points: 1700]

[Inventory (2): Hook rope, glr-100 freezing gun]

[Hex Crystal: Inferior Small Crystal x4]

[Hex Knowledge and Theory: Hex Thermodynamics (Proficient), Hex Temperature Control Pattern Design (Proficient), Hex Optical Loop Control (Basic), Gas Exchange and Filtration Control (Basic)

Mental coherence theory (basic), adaptive analysis technology (basic), Hex biological science (basic), exoskeleton design theory (basic)]

Looking at this dazzling array of skills, Carl felt full of accomplishment.

It's not really a pure squeeze to complete the design within two months - after all, I have to participate in the design and manufacturing.

……

Over the next three days, Carl and the research team discussed the parameters and indicators needed for the first version of the exoskeleton.

First of all, whether the power system of the exoskeleton is hydraulic, pneumatic or electric.

Karl decisively chose electric drive - the first two were powerful, but the overall equipment was too heavy and did not meet the positioning of a "super soldier".

Then there are the types of workmanship, which are divided into two types: pre-judgment is required and pre-judgment is not required.

The so-called need for prediction means that the exoskeleton itself judges the human body's movements, drives it in advance, and improves athletic ability. Without prediction, the body must generate pressure on the exoskeleton in order to react.

The former has high requirements, but the system is extremely complex; the latter is simple, but its practicality is greatly reduced.

There is no doubt that the final version must be of the predictive type, but the first version of Carl did not make this requirement, and the scientists were relieved after hearing this.

However, Karl has regarded this part as his own private subject - because whether prediction is needed is also related to another issue: the sensing method of the exoskeleton.

This is how the exoskeleton senses the wearer, that is, how the wearer "controls" the exoskeleton.

There are three main types on the market: force signal, EEG signal and EMG signal.

The first is easy to understand - reckless; the second is the most ideal method, but the technology is immature and difficult to extract and identify; the third is because everyone's human body condition is different, which will lead to unstable signals, and Easily affected by outside influences.

As for Karl, he obviously wants to use EEG signals, or even more magical "mental signals."

On the one hand, it is because he has mastered the best materials for implantable devices, and has even implanted a low-light injection controller in his forearm.

In this regard, he needs to understand how brain electrical and neural signals are used - this happens to be Dr. Otto's expertise, and this will be the focus of Carl's future study.

On the other hand, he has relevant knowledge - [Spiritual Coherence Theory (Basic)]

After all, Hex technology is actually scientific magic.

Then, there’s the source of power.

Karl did not give the team any fatal orders in this regard, and the first version of the exoskeleton did not have too hard-core requirements.

But researchers know that this is the toughest nut to crack.

But for Karl, he has no worries about this at all--

A small, low-quality Hex crystal contains 50 times the energy of a nuclear fission battery of the same quality!And the power control is extremely free!

This is Carl's "Ark Reactor"!

As for engineering and design, the research team here is the best among the best. They may not be able to compare with those super-intelligent superheroes and villains, but they are completely adequate.

After they burned their brains and came up with the most reasonable version, Karl then revised it. Even if it was not as good as the steel suit, it was definitely a piece of equipment that transcended the times.

What's more, the Mark Armor hasn't appeared yet.

Under Carl's intensive preparations, the institute was operating efficiently.

A week later, the first version of the industrial design was posted in the most conspicuous place of the institute. This exoskeleton has a lightweight appearance and even fully deserves its name - "exoskeleton".

Thin mechanical transmission rods are spread all over the limbs and are supplied by a flat energy source placed on the back. Armor is only attached to the shoulders, knees and forearms.

Unlike the Green Goblin and the Iron Suit, it is not a full-coverage exoskeleton. It is designed to improve athletic ability and is quite lightweight.

After all, the Osborne Group's exoskeleton project has been around for almost two years. It would be difficult to surpass Norman by taking the same route. Karl wanted to find another shortcut.

This can also minimize costs - after all, this is for American soldiers.

The name of this exoskeleton is printed large on the top of the design: exo-t1.

And this name will become "ak47" in the exoskeleton family in the future world.
