Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 262 [Really Good]

Xiao Yu personally tried it out, and after a simple preliminary test, he was very satisfied with the performance of this first-generation verification model.

Basically, there is no need for any changes, and the technology can be finalized directly.

"Oh, Xiao Lan, make some adjustments and remove the adaptive coating function of the first-generation machine. Keep this technology in reserve for later use." Xiao Yu suddenly said as he looked at the wearable armed power armor in front of him and made this decision.

The surface of this first-generation machine is covered with a nano-level adaptive coating that can adjust its color and texture according to environmental changes, making it extremely concealed on the battlefield.

When activated, the coating emits a faint blue light for a few seconds, as if it is the energy blood flowing in the veins of this iron body.

The so-called adaptive coating is actually an optical camouflage function, which is a black technology. It is too advanced and too advanced in the contemporary era. Xiao Yu weighed it and felt that it was not appropriate to use it at this point in time.

In fact, the essence of this technology is a distributed optical computer. Scientists in the Blue Star World found inspiration from the ability of the mimic octopus's skin to change color instantly to hide itself. The decentralized strategy also ensures that even if the coating in a local area is damaged, it will not affect the normal use of the coating in other parts.

The octopus's skin is inlaid with 200 million pigment cells per square millimeter of epidermis, each of which is controlled by 15 radial muscles.

When light penetrates the translucent epidermis, retinal proteins trigger calcium ion waves within 5 milliseconds, triggering the three-dimensional reconstruction of pigment cells.

This "photochromic" mechanism does not rely on visual signals, but completes environmental sampling and response directly through the skin.

The evolutionary strategy of mimicking octopus skin inspired scientists in the Blue Star world to develop stealth technology and optical sensing, and eventually developed this adaptive coating technology.

The addition of this coating is equivalent to applying a layer of pigment cells with decentralized decision-making and self-processing capabilities to the body surface, and it is faster than the mimic octopus. The mimic octopus can complete the switching of the whole body pattern within 0.4 seconds, while this artificial coating can complete the switching within 0.05 seconds.

There was another reason why Xiao Yu decided to abandon this technology, which was that it consumed too much electricity.

In fact, this is nothing in the Blue Star world, because there are products such as ultra-high energy density batteries. The energy consumption of the adaptive coating accounts for only about 3% of the overall power consumption.

However, the first-generation power armor that Xiao Yu made had undergone technical downgrades and was also equipped with graphene batteries.

Removing the adaptive coating can increase the comprehensive endurance of the power armor by about 37% on the original basis, so it is more appropriate to remove this technology.

As for the exterior coating of the power armor, just apply some traditional camouflage coating. The positioning of power armor equipment is not the old sixth tactic of covert infiltration, but is more used in the front battlefield.

To a large extent, not being invisible can make the enemy see you, which is more effective. On the front battlefield, the enemy sees that they are facing such a group of opponents with steel bodies, which can cause great psychological deterrence to them and have the effect of dampening the enemy's morale before the battle.

Adaptive coating technology is also not suitable for application on the J-36 fighter. It is enough to be radar invisible. Optical stealth is of little significance. Moreover, given the performance of the J-36 fighter, it doesn’t even matter whether it is invisible or not.

The adaptive coating technology, apart from showing off the technology, is actually a negative improvement to the actual combat effect, because it adds extra power consumption burden to the equipment, which in turn shortens the fighter's range and combat radius. It also shortens the endurance of power armor when used on it, which is a definite negative improvement.

After a few years, when the technology tree on Earth is almost complete, it won’t be too late to apply this technology.

At this moment, Xiao Yu turned to look at another unmanned pure intelligent mechanical power armor of the first generation. Its appearance is basically the same as the wearable power armor, which makes it difficult for the enemy to figure out which power armor has a person inside and which is the real consumable cannon fodder, which can indirectly further improve the survivability of human soldiers on the battlefield. Pure intelligent mechanical power armor not only looks the same, but also has basically no difference in function, and all have the same level of firepower output capability.

The biggest difference is that it is not very resistant to attacks, and its defensive ability is much worse than that of wearable power armor. This is also a trade-off made to save costs.

It is positioned as battlefield consumables and cannon fodder, and sits on the same table as weapon ammunition consumables, the difference is that it is more advanced.

After a while, Xiao Yu picked up a rifle with a high-capacity magazine. This weapon was tailor-made for armed power armor, and a single magazine could hold 500 rounds of bullets.

"So heavy..."

Xiao Yu held up the rifle with both hands and felt it was heavy, but he was still able to lift it.

Wearing the power armor, holding the rifle was as easy as drinking water. Xiao Yu immediately gave instructions to the pure intelligent mechanical power armor next to him, asking it to take over the rifle. Sure enough, it picked it up easily.

"Master, there is a temporary training range in the base where live-fire tests can be conducted." Xiao Lan reminded at this time.

"Let's give it a try." Xiao Yu made a decisive decision and then came to the training range. The base can also simulate highly realistic battlefield environments and terrains through holographic technology, but physical training is not very effective.

At this moment, Xiao Yu arrived at the training range and immediately authorized the pure intelligent mechanical power armor to attack, while asking Xiao Lan to start the training range.

The authorized pure humanoid mechanical power armor holds a rifle and presents a shooting posture. There are fixed targets in the shooting range, with distances ranging from 100 meters to 300 meters.

boom! boom! boom!
As the sound of gunfire echoed throughout the shooting range, the fixed targets on the field were hit one by one. This humanoid pure mechanical power armor fired very quickly, and in bursts, firing more than thirty shots in one breath.

"All targets were hit, with a hit rate of 100%." Xiao Lan's voice came.

Then they tested shooting at moving targets. The moving targets were moving in irregular patterns, and the humanoid pure intelligent mechanical power armor was seen holding a rifle and firing continuously at a high frequency, still in bursts.

A total of 122 moving targets were raised on the shooting range, distributed in different areas and moving irregularly, but in less than two minutes, all the targets were knocked down.

Xiaolan's voice sounded again: "The hit rate is 95%."

Xiao Yu next to him was quite excited: "Not bad, not bad, such a high frequency of shooting, and hitting irregular moving targets, with a hit rate of more than 90%, really good."

This is thanks to the power armor's auxiliary aiming system, which can quickly lock onto targets and launch attacks in complex environments. Judging from the shooting test results of this humanoid pure intelligent mechanical power armor, the effect is quite good.

He kills a target almost every second. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a sharpshooter. This is really the result of the use of the high-tech automatic aiming system.
