Chapter 2606 An underwater weapon tailored for the marines
Through such an introduction by Zhang Xiaolei, everyone present had a preliminary understanding of the basic situation of this underwater special warfare mechanical exoskeleton protective armor, especially its protective properties.
Although after listening to this introduction, the special forces and officers from the army and air force naturally took a fancy to it, and they didn’t like it at all. Because the protective performance of this underwater special combat mechanical exoskeleton protective armor is not as good as the regular version of the mechanical exoskeleton protective armor used by the army and air force, let alone the special version and the heavy mechanical exoskeleton protective armor used by the army up.
This kind of thing is too thin, and it can be penetrated in two or three hits on the battlefield. In their view, this thing has no protection at all.
But for the officers and special forces members of the navy, this underwater special warfare mechanical exoskeleton protective armor is simply tailor-made for them, no, it is tailor-made.
The army and air force are a bunch of landlubbers, so they can understand the pain of their navy. Haoyu Technology’s mechanical exoskeleton protective armor, they don’t know if it’s okay, but they can’t use it, because it’s too heavy, because it’s too heavy.
No way, although the Air Force also pays attention to portability, the main combat operations of the Airborne Forces and Air Force Special Forces are still on land, while the Marine Corps and Special Forces, although they are also on land, still have the need to take into account ocean operations.
This kind of mechanical exoskeleton protective armor is very good, but they can only be used for waiting for combat, such as many amphibious operations and underwater combat missions, which are not used at all. Sometimes even for safety reasons, these exoskeleton armors are only changed when they are close to islands and land.
As for the strengths and strengths of the Marine Corps and the Special Forces, they cannot be fully utilized due to weight restrictions.
Therefore, the navy has proposed to Wu Hao and others more than once that they hope to develop a lightweight mechanical exoskeleton protective armor specifically for the navy, but progress has been slow. The reason is that the Navy requires that while being lightweight and capable of diving in water, it must also ensure the protective performance of the entire mechanical exoskeleton.
Such a requirement really makes the entire R&D team feel awkward, because usually, the protective performance of armor has a lot to do with its own weight. The heavier the weight, the better the protection performance. I have never seen any light thing with good protection performance.
But this time, Wu Hao and the others broke this iron law, making a piece of material similar to cloth able to block the impact of bullets, and has excellent bulletproof performance.
This is tantamount to making their dreams come true all of a sudden, how can they not be happy.
Noticing the excitement of those naval officers and special forces members, Zhang Xiaolei smiled and continued to introduce.
“Is it just that, no, that’s not what we want.
Since it was developed for the Marine Corps and the Special Forces, then we should develop it in a targeted manner based on the combat characteristics of the Marine Corps.
Just like the mechanical exoskeleton support and booster system on this set of underwater special combat mechanical exoskeleton protective armor, we have redesigned it specifically for marine and underwater combat environments, focusing on solving a series of technical problems. For example, the waterproof performance of the whole system in the ocean and underwater.
This is not the IP68 waterproof rating advertised by those digital products, but the military-grade waterproof standard. Therefore, we replaced many metal materials that are prone to oxidation and corrosion on the entire exoskeleton support system with higher strength polymer composite materials and carbon fiber materials.
In some places where metal components are required, stainless steel that is more resistant to corrosion and oxidation is used, and the surface of these metals is also electroplated to make it better resistant to corrosion and oxidation. ”
“Considering the needs of underwater diving, this time our set of underwater special operations mechanical exoskeleton protective armor has prepared a more lightweight and flexible support system.
Wearing it, our marines can still dive underwater, and their feet can swing freely and flexibly.
And in order to save the physical strength of our special forces, we can create an underwater diving program for this set of underwater special operations mechanical exoskeleton protective armor, which allows the mechanical exoskeleton to carry and assist our special forces to carry out underwater double-foot flippers. swing.
In addition, if we use the flippers specially prepared for this set of underwater special warfare mechanical exoskeleton protective armor, our underwater frogman can swing forward by himself without swinging his feet and legs .
Of course, if necessary, the propulsion system on this set of underwater special warfare mechanical exoskeleton protective armor can also be activated, so as to promote our special warfare for rapid underwater travel.
However, the water jet propulsion will emit bubbles and noise, so the use of portable power-assisted methods and automatic flipper swinging water can greatly reduce the noise of the frogman when diving underwater, and avoid being discovered by the enemy’s underwater monitoring equipment. ”
After listening to Zhang Xiaolei’s introduction, the navy side applauded one after another, and the others also applauded when they saw this, and then looked at the navy side one after another.
For the personnel of the Navy~www.mtlnovel.com~ Zhang Xiaolei’s introduction made them very excited, and it can be said that they were full of surprises. Haoyu Industry not only considers portability, but also attaches great importance to protection. And here, it is also possible to use anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation non-metallic materials as much as possible according to the characteristics of their long-term dealings with ocean waters. Even metal materials are also treated with anti-rust, which is rare.
And considering that they have been fighting in water for a long time, the water release performance of the entire equipment has also been improved to ensure that the entire equipment can operate normally underwater.
In addition, what surprised them even more was that people also considered their inappropriateness for underwater diving and arranged multiple propulsion modes for them.
First of all, of course, is the simplest and most conventional method, using propellers to carry the frogman forward. But this time, Haoyu Industry actually installed the thrusters on the entire set of underwater special warfare mechanical exoskeleton protective armor.
In this way, land warfare does not need to hold propellers, or exercise with someone underwater. A person can move freely alone, thus having high maneuverability underwater, which is very important for underwater combat.
Being able to rush up and retreat calmly when in contact with the enemy alone. After one hit, he fled away. It is basically impossible for the enemy to pursue.
Moreover, with the propellers equipped on the protective armor of the underwater special operations mechanical exoskeleton, it can deal with the enemy very flexibly and calmly underwater, and play with the enemy in the palm of his hand.
What’s more, with the blessing of this set of protective armor, the enemy’s underwater weapons basically lose their effect, and thus become the target of complete abuse. Previous Chapter Contents Bookmarks Next Chapter
