In fact, from the most fundamental point of view, the powered exoskeleton armor he developed is actually the same type of thing as the space suit.

It's just two branches on this technology tree. One is focused on external power and armor protection, and the other is focused on the life support system.

It's just a difference in focus, but now Academician Luo sees the advantages of powered exoskeleton armor and wants to put the two branches back together to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

After understanding these things, he had a clear idea in his mind. Now it depends on who the two sides will upgrade on.

If it is upgraded on Academician Luo's space suit, it will inevitably make the space suit even more bloated; if it is upgraded on his Chi You powered armor, even if it wants to achieve the final effect, it will definitely become larger in size. , but the basics are not too outrageous there.

In his mind, he is actually more inclined to optimize the life support system and other aspects based on the power armor. However, as of now, there is no collision between the two sides, and no one is sure which aspect to continue research and development.

Now, only after Academician Luo finishes studying his data can we really make up our minds and see whose basis we should optimize on.

In the following days, he was still the same as before. Although he had thoroughly studied all the information, Academician Luo had not finished reading it yet, so he could only wait.

Although he continued to look at the data during the day, the actual situation was that he was fishing. The time when he actually did research was when he entered the virtual laboratory at night.

That night in the virtual laboratory, he first showed his Chi You power armor in front of him.

Looking at the armor in front of him that looked like something only a future warrior would have, he felt a little proud in his heart. Then he pushed this emotion out of his mind. Now was not the time for him to appreciate his achievements.

Next, he took out his tools and started working on the armor. The power armor, which was originally very powerful, was dismantled bit by bit under his hands.

Looking at the powered exoskeleton with only the reinforced bracket left in front of him, he was slightly stunned. Although he already had some ideas, his ideas were not very mature.

And these ideas are just some assumptions he has made about the information he has access to at present. These ideas may be discarded later as he comes into contact with more and more information.

But one thing is universal. It can be said that all design work is universal, and that is details. It is said that details determine success or failure, and it is even more important when placed on a space suit.

As long as all the details are taken into consideration, the designed space suit will have fewer errors when used in space.

This small mistake may be nothing on the ground, but in the vacuum environment of space, the consequences of a small mistake will be unbearable for anyone.

What he is currently working on is optimizing the Chi You Powered Armor he made before from the smallest details, optimizing the insignificant details and minor problems that were previously discovered in the Chi You Powered Armor.

This optimization lasts a whole night. Don't think that this whole night doesn't have much time, but don't forget that the time flow rate in the virtual laboratory is different.

The joints of each joint are inflexible. Continue to study the joints of crustacean insects and find inspiration for optimization. The helmet has poor visibility. Optimize the helmet design and increase the proportion of transparent alloy. In a dark environment, there is insufficient light, so increase a strong light source. ······

Many shortcomings in the armor were raised and optimized by him. He found solutions to more than a hundred problems found on the entire armor, large and small.

He was working hard in the virtual laboratory, and Academician Luo was not idle after getting the information. After all, he was the one who initiated this project, and he was the main one for the space suit. So when he looked at the information developed by Li Zhenhua, Extremely attentive and careful.

After working overtime to study the information, Academician Luo now also had a deeper understanding of the powered exoskeleton armor, which was enough for the subsequent upgrade of the space suit.

When Academician Luo finished studying all the information, half a month had passed since Li Zhenhua came. The completion of his study of the information also meant that the project could truly begin.

For Li Zhenhua, this is also the first time that he has participated in other people's projects. All the things he has created before were all based on his own model. Now he is working in the same direction with everyone's efforts. This is still the first time. once.

In fact, this is also a good thing for him. He can also learn from Academician Luo how to coordinate management and conduct research and development in a multi-person project.

In fact, in his heart, he is also very interested in this R\u0026D team model. It is not that he feels that he is inferior to the team model, but that it is a bit unreasonable for him to conquer a project alone.

Moreover, in the team, if the team fails to maintain the balance, it will lead to a better direction. This is an advantage that he alone does not have.

On this day, Academician Luo read all the information and called everyone related to the project together, and the next step was the official start of the project.

Academician Luo sat at the front with a computer in front of him. He was connecting the computer to the projector, and then he started speaking when he saw everyone gathered.

"Everyone has arrived, so we have a formal meeting. The first thing is that we have to give this project a name. Everyone knows that the space suit we are studying this time is for the moon landing program.

Then I will call it the Wu Gang Space Suit Project, and everyone will have no objections!

Haha, actually, this name was inspired by Academician Li. "

After speaking, I looked at the expressions of everyone at the scene and found that no one expressed any opinions, and Li Zhenhua didn't say anything at all. The name of the space suit was finally decided.

Wu Gang's expedition to Gui is one of the most famous stories about the moon.

"As everyone knows, our next step is to combine Academician Li's powered exoskeleton armor with our space suit to make our space suit even better.

Now let’s move on to the first topic, which is also a topic for us to determine the general direction. Which basis is more suitable for optimizing the space suit prototype? Let’s discuss it. Please speak freely! "

Li Zhenhua sat in his seat and listened quietly to Academician Luo's words, feeling as though the heroes had similar views.

As expected, Academician Luo was not the one who built it. He grasped the key points from the very beginning. If this point cannot be solved and the direction of the workpiece cannot be determined, then their current project will have a bumpy road.

After Academician Luo finished speaking and asked the first question, everyone present started to discuss it.

This discussion did not last long, and soon everyone calmed down again. Academician Luo looked at everyone's silence and knew that everyone should have finished the discussion and made their choices accordingly.

"It seems that everyone has thought about it, so let's talk about it and see what everyone's views are, which one is more suitable."

However, Academician Luo's words did not receive a response from everyone present. Everyone looked like they did not dare to speak.

In fact, Academician Luo understands their behavior. After all, they don't think comprehensively about this kind of directional thing, so let the old man decide. As the saying goes: An old person in a family is like a treasure.

Another reason is that no one knows whether there will be any rift between Academician Luo and Academician Li over this issue.

So at this time, it is better not to blindly support or take sides. They cannot participate in the confrontation between the big guys.

Academician Luo looked at everyone and said nothing. Although he understood in his heart, he couldn't just say nothing!

"It seems that everyone is quite uneasy, so we won't let you go on stage to speak. Let's just write on paper. It's always okay to write."

Soon everyone started to move. Now that they are more inclined to that plan or the anonymous mode, this saves everyone from worries.

In the end, everyone's choices were gathered together. Academician Luo took it in his hand and looked at the notes. Most of the notes were based on space suits.

Only a handful of people choose to upgrade and optimize based on Chi You's power armor.

Looking at such a result in his hand, Academician Luo was not surprised at all, because these people in the team had previously researched traditional space suits.

But there is also some disappointment, because only a few people are still enterprising, and the vast majority of people are a little too stable.

To say that they stick to the rules is a bit inappropriate. I think they are also innovating on traditional space suits, so they can only be described as robust.

When it comes to Academician Luo's own choice of space suit direction, he is more inclined to optimize and upgrade based on power armor.

Why? Because he also believes that the research and development direction based on power armor will be the mainstream in the future, and will also be the final look of space suits in the future. Who doesn't want their own solution to be more advanced?

It can only be said that the current style of space suit is a transition.

But the situation they were facing now made it a little difficult for him to handle. After all, most people chose the direction of traditional space suits.

Normally, the minority should obey the majority, but in scientific research, sometimes the truth is not in the hands of the majority.

As the person in charge of the project, Academician Luo tended to choose the direction of power armor research and development, but he did not communicate with the team in advance. This was something he had not thought carefully about before. Thinking of this, he immediately looked at it at the scene, and then he set his sights on Li Zhenhua's body is the source of another direction. Seeing him is like finding a breakthrough point.

"Okay, I have seen everyone's opinions. I won't announce them now because everyone is making choices based on their previous knowledge. Next, we will let Academician Li talk about the relevant knowledge of power armor, and then we will The direction is determined.”

‘What’s my business here? ’

He originally sat aside and just waited for Academician Luo to announce the final result, but now he heard that he was asked to speak, and he looked at Academician Luo in surprise.

After carefully considering Academician Luo's words, he understood that the choices made by everyone present were probably not in line with Academician Luo's expectations. He wanted him to explain the power armor technology clearly and let everyone present make a new choice!

But he only allowed himself to speak, and Academician Luo did not disclose his attitude, which made him a little confused about how to speak. If he pushed the matter to a place that was not in line with Academician Luo's expectations, would he offend others.

He couldn't help but think a little too much. This was actually the reason why he had always done research by himself before and didn't want others to get involved. Even if he wanted to form a team, he had to keep his word.

Looking at the way Academician Luo looked at him, he knew what to say.

‘Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, just follow the actual situation and forget it, just die! ’

"Then let me tell you about the technology I have mastered and the advantages of applying power armor to space suits.

Powered exoskeleton armor, as you can tell from its name, has certain protective capabilities and power, and in terms of power, the current ones should be relatively good.

Being powered means strong maneuverability and large load capacity, which can provide more power to the user.

Then let's explain the other component of the name - armor. From the literal meaning, we can know that the protection ability is definitely not bad. The powered armors I made for experiments can protect against bullets below 12.7 mm.

In terms of protection and safety, I think it should have a better protection level than traditional space suits.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. If it is developed on the basis of power armor, the task load will be very large. If the life support system of the space suit is added to it, it can be regarded as a redesign.

That’s all I can say, do you think, Academician Luo? "

After he finished speaking, he looked at Academician Luo again. Academician Luo had also listened to what he said. These words were obviously spoken from a neutral perspective and were not biased because the power armor belonged to him.

Then Academician Luo took over the conversation and looked at everyone and started talking again.

"Academician Li has just made it clear to everyone. Now let me talk about my choice! In fact, I want to choose the direction of optimizing and upgrading power armor."

After Academician Luo finished speaking, everyone showed shocked expressions. None of them really expected that the chief designer of traditional space suits would abandon his own design and choose an unfamiliar direction. .

Even Li Zhenhua would be shocked, but then he thought about it and realized that Academician Luo is the kind of person who seriously considers the development of space suits. He will not exclude good things for other reasons, just like this time. It’s the same as Li Zhenhua’s invitation.

"Haha, look at your shocked expressions, you didn't expect me to make such a choice!

In fact, my choice is not complicated. I am completely considering the future of space suits. I think that the future will definitely enter the space age.

In the space age, the space suits worn by people will definitely have combat capabilities. For the space battles that will inevitably be inevitable in the future, we will choose space suits that are more in line with combat conditions.

This is our ultimate path in the future, so I think traditional space suits will inevitably fail to keep up with the times.

So in order to avoid a passive situation by then, it is better for us to take the initiative to move in that direction now! "

When Academician Luo finished speaking, all eyes changed from doubt to admiration.
