Chapter 169: Chapters 166, 167 The Chaos Begins (Additional Chapters 9 and 10 for Purple Mysterious Immortal Emperor)_2 Chapter 169: Chapters 166, 167 The Chaos Begins (Additional Chapters 9 and 10 for Purple Mysterious Immortal Emperor)_2 So of the tycoons had already heard the news about the aircraft carrier fleet sinking.
They began building doomsday bunkers, buying weapons and ammunition, and assembling security teams…
So people started going out into the streets, preaching about the end of the world and extolling various gods, also gaining a large following.
Not only within societies but also between nations, a race for resources had begun.
Ships, trains, and airplanes transporting ores, oil, and food were traveling back and forth across the world, with so places even deploying military transport aircraft for assistance!
The chaotic era had begun!
Fortunately, Shen Zhou had been preparing for three years, so the impact was minimal amid these upheavals.
The internet users in Shen Zhou were also discussing this matter.
“Have you heard? Bai ying went to fight the Zerg and lost several ships!”
“The Zerg is terrifying! Their sea power is now world-class, and yet they didn’t win?”
“No wonder we’re building the Iron Great Wall, just in case these guys land. It’s unimaginable!”
“Besides the Mariana Trench, do we have any insects in our sea area?”
“We started acting early, so we should have already explored it, right?”
“Don’t panic, follow the command! I’ve been following He Xingzhou’s account. He hasn’t posted anything recently, which proves the issue isn’t significant.”
…
He Xingzhou had indeed not posted anything because he was busy keeping track of research, discoveries, and counterasures against the Zerg while also studying chanical arms and exoskeletons, leaving him overwheld.
At this mont, He Xingzhou was at the National chanical Science Research Institute, conducting tests on a dium-sized chanical arm.
In front of him was an industrial chanical arm with a total length of 48 ters.
Of that, 40 ters made up the main arm, resembling the massive crane-like arm of a crane, mainly used for stretching, extending, rotating at thirty to sixty degrees horizontally, and extending upward.
The main arm was primarily responsible for lifting, rotating, and bearing weight.
The 8-ter-long auxiliary arm, on the other hand, took on the main operational functions.
Beside He Xingzhou were Lu Jianye along with Academician Zheng Yan, the deputy chief engineer of the chanical arm research and design team, who were explaining their achievents.
“After we received Mr. He’s design drawings, we worked overnight to study and improve the plans. With the cooperation of the manufacturing team, we made this dium-sized chanical arm in the shortest possible ti.” Zheng Yan proudly looked up at the steel creation.
Unlike the bulky two-segnt structure of crane arms, this chanical arm, although divided into main and auxiliary arms, featured a multi-segnt design.
Upon close inspection, each arm was composed of sections, resembling those of a shrimp’s body structure.
In the past, due to reasons like materials, design, power, and manufacturing, such a design for chanical arms was simply impossible.
But now, after three years of industrial advancent, such designs had beco possible!
Therefore, the multi-segnt design allowed the main and auxiliary arms to rotate in all directions and operate at full angles, making them more agile than human arms!
Zheng Yan continued, “The ultra-high power motor combined with industrial tal-air batteries ford a power unit providing it with power, surpassing the hydraulic system we used before! The efficiency is also higher!”
“The main arm plus the auxiliary arm and multi-axis linkage and promotion perfectly ford a fully free operational space.”
“There’s also an AI intelligent operating system that can conduct precise operations through a computer. If you install it on an engineering vehicle, then it’s the most advanced construction machine in the world!”
“Let’s see it in action!” He Xingzhou said and the operator imdiately activated it.
The forty-ter-long chanical arm began various rotations and operations.
The auxiliary arm of the chanical arm could have different devices installed, for example, a drill for drilling, cast iron for piling, pincers for transporting, and so on.
The chanical arm perford operations such as drilling and transporting flexibly and smoothly.
“A single chanical arm can complete operations that would take a whole construction team half a day! And they can work 24/7 without rest, all intelligent operations!” Lu Jianye remarked with pride, “Using this type of chanical arm extensively in engineering machinery will enhance our construction speed a hundredfold—it’s no exaggeration!”
Everyone agreed in admiration.
At this point, He Xingzhou suddenly asked, “What do you think it would be like if we installed heavy chanical arms with chainsaws on the Iron Great Wall?”
“Ah… chainsaws?” For a mont, everyone was stunned by his thought process. They were always thinking of construction, while He Xingzhou was considering military applications.
He Xingzhou thought for a mont and said, “It seems quite useful! With chanical arms installed up there, they could first assist with things like transportation.”
“Secondly, when the Zerg attacks, there will inevitably be those who get close to the Iron Great Wall to cause damage. Using missiles at close range is unrealistic, as it would damage the Iron Great Wall itself. We don’t currently have advanced laser weapons. Using chanical arms with chainsaws, electric hamrs, and other electric weapons to sweep and effectively block them is feasible!”
“Most importantly, it only consus electricity rather than critical materials like gunpowder, shells, or fuel!”
“In close defense on the city wall, a hundred heavy chanical arms surpass the effectiveness of a hundred armored vehicles!”
“That does make sense, though we don’t quite understand military aspects. Mr. He can discuss it with military scientists.” Zheng Yan suggested.
He Xingzhou then instructed Xuanwu, “Xuanwu, send my idea to the military scientists for their study.”
“Yes, the information has been sent.”
He Xingzhou asked Lu Jianye, “Mr. Lu, has mass production of this chanical arm begun?”
“It has already begun!” Lu Jianye replied, “We’ve urgently requisitioned several large-scale machinery manufacturing plants to start production, treating it with special priority during this extraordinary period; the chanical arms produced are being directly sent to the Iron Great Wall project departnt.”
“I won’t participate in the research on heavy chanical arms, production of chanical arms, and developnt of supporting engineering vehicles—I’ll leave that to you.” He Xingzhou said.
“No problem, we can handle these tasks!” Lu Jianye and Zheng Yan readily agreed. With this dium-sized chanical arm as a foundation, developing heavy chanical arms would be much easier.
He Xingzhou still needed to design the chanical exoskeleton. This piece, although smaller and lighter than chanical arms, was no less difficult in design and manufacturing!
The critical reason was that chanical exoskeletons were ant for human use!
All chanical actions needed to adapt to human physiological structures and movents to integrate seamlessly with the user!
It required the combination of materials technology, bionics technology, micro-energy technology, robotics technology, sensor technology, and control technology, among others, to complete.
“Material choices include aerospace hard aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, titanium aluminum alloy, composite materials, nanoter materials, flexible textile materials…”
Returning to the Tower Research Institute, He Xingzhou imdiately imrsed himself in pondering this piece.
chanical exoskeletons ca in many forms, such as dical chanical exoskeletons for assisting the disabled, civilian chanical exoskeletons for construction, and auxiliary combat exoskeletons for military use.
He intended first to design a universal chanical exoskeleton, as it had the widest application, standardization, and could be produced quickly on a large scale.
“Since large-scale production is needed, a relatively low-cost plan must be used…”
He Xingzhou began designing and researching, while also receiving proposals from research teams across Shen Zhou.
The most mature technology among these was naturally an auxiliary military chanical exoskeleton designed by the military, which He Xingzhou planned to upgrade and improve.
A few days later, just as He Xingzhou completed the leg support section of the chanical exoskeleton, a ssage disrupted his work rhythm.
In the Xuanwu Plan executive chat group, He Hongwei urgently contacted other mbers and sent a ssage saying, “Urgent news, suspected Zerg nest discovered in the Sakura Trench; significant numbers of mutant creatures are gathering from surrounding waters. Our intelligence analysts believe these Zerg may land in nearby areas!”
He sent over an intelligence report, and everyone was startled upon reading it.
