(Extra for DanDan’s concern and monthly ticket)_2 The audience was also watching, and their favorite part was the operation of the mechanical arms. “Wow, these mechanical arms are so cool! They can rotate 316 degrees!” “This is much more fun than an excavator!” “That’s intense, did you see that pile driver? Boom boom boom, a chain of heavy hammer strikes!” “I saw a heavy one, with arms that are fifty to sixty meters long, is that Optimus Prime?” “Isn’t this more interesting than watching beauties?” “There’s a construction site that’s fully automated, you can practically see the speed with the naked eye!” “If there were more of these construction vehicles, it seems we could really build the Great Steel Wall!” He Xingzhou said, “These construction vehicles could all operate automatically. This is only the first batch we’ve produced, and now mechanical factories across the country are rushing to make more. More will be sent later.” “It looks like their performance is quite good. The construction team also needed to get more familiar with their capabilities, and then the efficiency would be even faster.” “Now we have to go test another kind of equipment.” He Xingzhou said this while taking a vehicle to the area where the soldiers were working. “Dr. He!” A commander came over to report, “We are Xuanwu Army Marines, I am Commander Han Yongxin, and we are now also participating in the construction work.” The two saluted each other, and He Xingzhou pointed to the trucks behind him, saying, “Behind us are the new equipment we’ve developed, which can assist in construction as well as have battle capabilities.” “This is the first batch, you can experience it in advance and get familiar with its performance.” “New equipment?” Hearing this, Han Yongxin’s eyes lit up. *They longed most for new equipment, and soldiers of the Xuanwu Army were more familiar with the Zerg, knowing how terrifying these creatures were.* *Traditional equipment did not have high chances against them. In previous simulation tests, even the elite Blade Squad failed multiple times!* “Unload!” After He Xingzhou spoke, the mechanical arms on the trucks began unloading. “Assemble!” Han Yongxin shouted, and the soldiers quickly assembled, “The truck is loaded with our new equipment, everyone line up to receive it.” *”We have new equipment?” The soldiers were thrilled, they kept quiet but had numerous thoughts in their minds.* *”Are we on the construction site now? It’s not easy to keep it secure!”* *”It would be great if they sent it directly to the camp!”* *”Those mechanical arms look pretty cool!”* They still hadn’t known what was in the boxes. The audience was equally curious, looking at these boxes made of special metal, the packaging alone suggested something extraordinary inside! He Xingzhou came to the first box, pressed the switch, and the box automatically popped open. Han Yongxin curiously peeked inside as Xu Zhilan, wearing a micro-intelligent camera, filmed beside him to show the viewers. Inside the box was a brand-new metal machine, with a camouflage-colored coating, looking like an oversized human skeleton. “Is this a powered mechanical exoskeleton?” Han Yongxin exclaimed with delight. “That’s right.” He Xingzhou nodded, he shouted, “Xuanwu, activate it!” “Universal Mechanical Exoskeleton R-1 activated.” Xuanwu sent out the command, and the AI system of the mechanical exoskeleton started up, activating its “shell.” Under the gaze of hundreds of soldiers, the mechanical exoskeleton stood up by itself! He Xingzhou explained in sync, “This is a leg support system made of special metal, hollow inside, including shoes, lower leg, thigh support metal frame, and knee metal joints made of titanium aluminum alloy.” “The waist area is more complex, made from nanometer materials, carbon fiber, and alloys, split into front and back parts, easily clipped on for wear, with an automatic mechanism to lock it in place, very convenient.” “Then there’s the back, which has a backpack containing the power system, including a battery and motor, with extra space for storing supplies.” “Additionally, many parts of the exoskeleton have emergency small batteries, allowing it to operate for a while even if the backpack power system is damaged.” “The two mechanical arms are integrated with the body. They have the highest degree of ergonomics and sensors, capturing and predicting human movements, allowing the operator to control it effortlessly.” “The entire mechanical exoskeleton’s load-bearing system is on the mechanical frame, requiring minimal exertion from the individual. With it, you could carry a ton’s weight, walking or running without feeling any pressure on your body!” “A ton’s load?” Hearing this capacity, Han Yongxin couldn’t help but shout out. “When training, soldiers usually only carry thirty or forty kilograms for running.” *”A ton, not to mention carrying, an average person couldn’t even lift it. In the world weightlifting record, in the heaviest category, weightlifters could only lift over four hundred seventy kilograms.* *”A ton is a thousand kilograms!”* When the soldiers heard He Xingzhou’s description, their eyes sparkled, eager to try it on immediately. Because of their discipline, they still refrained from speaking. The live-stream audience couldn’t hold back, bombarding the live stream with comments: “They have mechanical exoskeletons now, awesome!” “Just the appearance is impressive, and if the mechanical coverage is increased a bit more, it might be considered a light mecha!” “Send me one of these, and I’m willing to rush to the front line to fight the Zerg!” “Hurry up and put it on!!! Speed it up!” “Aaaah, I always dreamed of having something like this, when will it be on sale? I’ll sell my car to buy one!” “Is it too late to enlist now?” ... “The first batch is three hundred sets, just enough for each of you to have one.” He Xingzhou said, “Everyone take a set. Each one is equipped with a smart chip and an auxiliary combat system, first learn the basic operations.” “Use them now, and any feedback you have, submit it to the intelligent system directly. Our subsequent versions are still being improved!” *Designing this mechanical exoskeleton was difficult, but once the design matures, manufacturing is very fast. If there are mature standards for manufacturing flow lines.* *He Xingzhou estimated that its production speed could match that of cars, producing one in a few minutes!* “What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and get your equipment!” Han Yongxin shouted, “One per person, remember your number!” As he spoke, he went up first, saying with a smile, “Dr. He, I’ll try it first!” He Xingzhou nodded, saying, “You might find it hard to get used to at first, listen to the AI system for guidance.” “Understood!” Han Yongxin was already next to the R-1 mechanical exoskeleton, beginning to explore how to wear this thing. Behind him, the soldiers couldn’t wait any longer, quickly stepping forward to receive this amazing new equipment one by one. “Fingerprint and iris information authenticated, I am the AI instructor Damo.” Damo’s voice sounded, guiding, “Comrade Han Yongxin, please unfasten the clasp, wear it, then fasten the clasps in sequence to lock them in place.” Han Yongxin followed the instructions. The clasp design was very convenient, and he soon had his body enveloped in the mechanical exoskeleton. Damo reminded again, “The mechanical exoskeleton needs to adapt to your specifications, scanning your body information, please follow the prompts. Lift your left leg, then your right leg, raise your arms, step forward...” *Everyone has different body sizes and strengths, and the mechanical exoskeleton had to adjust each part’s length, tightness, and level of force assistance, among other things.* “Automatic adjustment in progress! R-1 mechanical exoskeleton has adjusted to your body, and you can now perform more complex movements for functional testing and equipment acclimation.” Not just Han Yongxin, the soldiers were all curiously trying it out. *They had long learned to walk and run, but today, they had to learn again.* *No one felt irritated. Instead, they were all exceedingly excited!* “I forgot how to walk!” “I can run, but don’t use too much force, it has a rebound system...” said a soldier, who immediately fell. He Xingzhou watched and said with a smile, “The mechanical exoskeleton has ground-grappling devices in the feet, which can be used in special circumstances. For example, it can stabilize the body, or when you are launching cannonballs, activate the grappling system, the exoskeleton can then be used as a gun mount!” “Be careful with this feature, though, as it’s not convenient to use on sandy ground or beaches, and it’s easy to slip. Running too fast, and suddenly stopping to grapple can also impact the body.” *Everyone listened carefully, eager to set up a rocket launcher and give it a try!* Han Yongxin activated the grappling system, and two retractable steel spikes extended from the exoskeleton parts at his legs, embedding into the ground, holding the exoskeleton firmly. “Walking, running, jumping, these are basic operations! The integration of the mechanical arms is most important, as they can help you accomplish many tasks that humans cannot!”
