From Water Moon Cave Heaven... Gan Dai Mu V!
And they’ve even uploaded the complete set of Bandai parts assembly and the design collection for Mobile Suit V Gundam!
Buddy, why don’t you go help me find the Gundarium Alloy and Minovsky himself first?
Big-eared Tutu... Electromagnetic railgun...
Can’t say he’s fooling around, because he did come up with a set of seemingly very reasonable basic theories and launch technology.
From electromechanical models, magnetic pressure, magnetic forces, transient field calculation theories to material characteristics of electromagnetic launchers, structural design, armature, and integrated ammunition technology, etc.
It is clear the person really has a profound understanding of these areas, either as a hardcore enthusiast or a professional.
Based on current technology in this world, manufacturing this isn’t too difficult. Orbital Aviation even built a more than ten-kilometer-long electromagnetic track in Mount Kilimanjaro, capable of accelerating rockets directly to the first cosmic velocity.
In 2008, the European Community even built an electromagnetic track on the moon to launch a metal meteorite weighing several tons, accurately hitting the United States Army Headquarters in the state of Colo City, Prince City.
Reverse Heaven Counter!
But unfortunately, this thing can’t be made with just two 50KW production lines.
There are already similar personal equipment on the market. They’re called tech weapons and they are much pricier than conventional kinetic weapons, second only to smart weapons.
Moreover, the tech weapons popular on the market are not mature, mostly belonging to the electrothermal chemical type, equipped with electromagnetic acceleration rails, but they require electromagnetic charging to fire, otherwise the power isn’t much greater than kinetic weapons.
And what this old fellow made isn’t a gun, it’s a freakin’ cannon.
If actually built, its size would be at least eighteen meters long.
This group of players doesn’t care about stirring things up.
Circling around, what new players brought out is either bland or useless, with no practical value in the short term.
Just as he was about to close the webpage and go to sleep, a design from Mantou caught his attention.
MT-1 Power Exoskeleton, at least it didn’t use the hackneyed Mark 1 tank ancestor as a code name.
Mantou’s design looks very rudimentary at first glance, with a crude stainless steel frame, a hydraulic + motor dual transmission system, an unknown control system, and a power battery serving as an unknown energy source. Many aspects are unfinished... Even Mantou herself said she hopes to understand more about the game’s physics engine and mechanical assets before determining how to retrofit it specifically.
This thing has been researched in the other world for over a decade, but due to limitations in materials science, its utility hasn’t been significant. Items in current service can at most increase the load capacity by tens of KG, and you have to carry large batteries, not to mention inadequate endurance.
But... with this world’s technology... well, that’s up in the air.
Could this thing have more technological content than prosthetics?
In this world, power armor exists. It’s a type of single-soldier equipment made based on a standardized humanoid frame and integrated through an external composite armor built-in control system.
For instance, Zeta Technology’s ’Grasshopper’ series, Military Science’s ’Assault Squad’ series, Huang Ban’s ’Model’ series, Soviet military’s ’Boris’ series, etc.
Compared to these, NCPD’s Centaur exoskeleton, which costs tens of thousands each, is just like a roadside piece.
It’s just slightly expensive in terms of price.
A base model Assault Squad Power Armor roughly costs only 50k euros~~ not including subsequent maintenance, and the price cap can exceed a million.
For small to medium-sized companies or gangs, this is undoubtedly a sky-high figure.
But... Mantou’s power armor indeed is trash. Even Lin Miao, an outsider, can tell how trash it is.
Lin Miao roughly estimated that according to the list of materials Mantou provided, disregarding the costs of steel and manpower, the electric + hydraulic transmission system, 16 pieces of 350W prosthetic motors, a sufficient power battery, without considering control programs, would cost roughly 1500 euros to construct a power armor weighing 120KG, carrying up to 600KG, and a remote load of 200KG.
It’s even lighter than the lightest Cricket on the market by a whole ton, and it’s just a bunch of iron bars with almost zero frontline defense.
Its output is worse than those gorilla arms costing tens of thousands, which are equipped with enhanced cores, allowing a punch to pierce through concrete walls without a problem.
Its appearance is extremely ugly, craftsmanship is rough.
Does Lin Miao need this to attend some military exhibition?
Does Lin Miao need this to win over some capital’s favor?
As long as this thing is cheap enough, all faults aren’t faults.
Yes, 500KG load capacity is worse than a small car, even not as good as a more expensive motorbike, but I can equip it with a 120KG, 0.05*0.5*1.5M composite shield or full-body steel plate protection, even pair it with a machine gun if possible.
Bros aren’t going to fight armies head-on; bros are joining gang wars.
Want to play the war damage swap game?
Let me see if your costly prosthetics are pricier than my junk exoskeleton.
And indeed, for its crude quality, big companies wouldn’t even give it a glance, at most treating it as a cheap gadget someone’s been messing around with.
Lin Miao doesn’t even need to prepare a factory. Just buy some materials and let Mantou create a prototype using a manual table. That thing can electrify a small lathe, albeit with low precision, and can’t process large items. But milling, boring, and drilling can be done.
