Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 516: A small step for the company, a big step for the new humankind
Yalong Bay, outside Cave No. 3.

The neatly dressed operator flexed his broad arms.

"The prosthesis is normal."

"The exoskeleton is normal."

"Muscle suit normal."

"The consumption of the barrier net is normal."

"Life support system is normal."

"Debugging is ready, requesting to enter the sea."

Li Mo was about to give an order using the intercom, but was stopped by the chairman next to him.

“The safety of the operators must be ensured.”

The chairman said in a serious tone, "If an ordinary person enters the Dead Sea, his flesh and blood will be decomposed in a very short time. We must have sufficient reliable protection, otherwise if there is any accident during the test, he will most likely not survive."

In the wasteland development company, the safety of employees' lives is a very strict red line.

This is also the basis for everyone to work with peace of mind.

Li Mo also said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Chairman, this "Dead Sea Work Suit" has not only passed the program simulation test of Recursive City, but also has good results in our actual test in the Dead Sea. It is very stable."

"Let me briefly introduce you to its basic principles and mechanisms."

Li Mo pointed to the huge two-meter-high humanoid device on the coast.

"The Dead Sea work suit is mainly composed of five parts, from the outside to the inside, they are the prosthetic component, the amber ceramic exoskeleton, the amber muscle suit, the plankton barrier net, and the life support system."

This thick outer armor, which looks like a human-shaped can, has a tough skin and strong bones made of amber and metal, reflecting a delicate and bright light in the sun.

It looks like a steel warrior, with ten flexible mechanical fingers at the end of its thick arms. The added special exoskeleton can reduce its own weight and ensure that the wearer can maintain a certain degree of control flexibility.

"First, the prosthetic components outside."

Li Mo pointed to the steel structure limbs on the work clothes and said: "Prosthetic technology has been used for many years and is very mature in various places, so we directly customize it according to this size. The key is to ensure that the work clothes have sufficient protection and can provide more flexible movement, as well as functions such as grabbing and using tools."

"The arms are made of the second generation 'veteran steel arms', and the legs are made of the first generation 'worker iron legs'. Although they are not the latest models, they have been used on a large scale for five or six years. Their biggest advantage is their stable performance and ability to adapt to various harsh environments."

"The arms and legs are connected to our amber ceramic exoskeleton, which is also an important support for the entire work suit."

Li Mo tapped his fingers on the smooth white material of his work clothes.

"Tengu and I have been researching this before. After Anaisuo joined, he took the lead in designing the bone structure of this layer."

"In nature, soot and amber are basically mixed, but the amount of amber is much smaller. They are two naturally compatible materials that can form connections with metals and are widely used in printing light."

"Amber ceramics are not a new technology in themselves. They are just a process of further high-temperature firing of amber and the addition of other materials. Large-scale electromechanical cities can produce them. This material is usually used as a base for high-precision components and is relatively expensive."

“It has two huge advantages.”

"The first is that it can withstand high-intensity impacts. Even a Class B light explosion cannot destroy it. It will disperse and largely dissipate the impact energy because the light amber itself has excellent energy conduction properties."

"The second is that it has excellent thermal protection performance and can withstand high and low temperatures. The closed exoskeleton can keep the internal temperature stable, so that the operator is less affected by this aspect."

Li Mo spoke a lot in one breath and then slowed down a bit.

The chairman showed no sign of impatience and nodded from time to time. He touched his work clothes with his right hand covered by the armband, seeming to find it very novel.

This is also something that Li Mo admires.

The chairman has run the company into a behemoth that can suppress the legal front, with 7 light core employees under his command, but he still maintains a strong curiosity about new things. Whether this new thing is a mushroom or a canned food, he will not hesitate to praise it.

"Then there's the third part, the light soot muscle suit underneath the exoskeleton."

Li Mo said: "This was developed by Dr. Wei Wu from the hospital's bone man plastic surgery department. It was previously used to fill muscles on bone men, which is a medical beauty project. I asked Dr. Wei to help make the smooth muscle part of the work clothes."

"This layer of muscle has a certain degree of flexibility and elasticity, which can protect the operator inside and has good radiation isolation capabilities."

"The fourth section is the plankton net further inside."

"This layer of high-density mesh structure is covered under the muscle layer to prevent plankton that is invisible to the naked eye from invading through the gaps and entering the body of the work clothes, causing health hazards to the operator."

"The fifth part is the life support system, which is led by the Silver Medalist Youke."

The chairman thought thoughtfully: "It looks a bit like a space suit."

"You are right. This is modeled after the space suits of old humans. There are records of old human space suits in the existing data. Each system has detailed parameters, and it has been proven to be suitable for ordinary humans."

Li Mo continued the above words: "The life support system includes air filtration and purifiers, processing liquid and solid waste generated by operators, maintaining temperature, and providing spontaneous oxygen supply to ensure air stability."

"These five parts are integrated into one to form the Dead Sea workwear."

"In addition, there are some replaceable accessories. The helmet camera can record work information and feed it back to the rear data center. The modem intercom can keep in touch with the rear. As long as there is a modem and a guide network, we can keep in touch."

The chairman looked at the finished work clothes next to him and asked: "How long does a single charge last?"

"Using the built-in oxygen, it can last for 6-8 hours. But when walking at the bottom of the Dead Sea, there is actually enough oxygen, which can be used after filtering, enough to maintain normal activities. However, for safety reasons, it is better not to exceed 24 hours."

"Can ordinary people operate this work suit?"

Li Mo nodded: "This work clothes is made for ordinary people, and they can be used after training."

“To ensure they can use it independently, we use a lot of safety measures, as well as a stable structure of prosthetic arms and legs that can assist walking and movement, reducing the stress on the operator themselves.”

"This set of work clothes weighs 310 kilograms, and ordinary people cannot support and use it with their flesh alone. But with the help of prosthetic limbs and exoskeletons, this is not a problem."

“It’s just that I’m not as flexible as my original body, but it’s very safe.”

The chairman walked to the back of the work clothes, looked around at the amber ceramic bone structure, and found the two metal boxes on its back: "What's in here... the floating heart?"

"Yes."

Li Mo was a little surprised: "Chairman, you are right. The work clothes are powered by two floating hearts to ensure that they are strong enough for continuous running, carrying, inspection and even self-protection battles against the enemy."

"There is also a backup energy source inside, which is the stone exuvia. If the energy of the floating heart is exhausted, the operator can switch to the stone exuvia in the lead box through simple operations. Because the stone exuvia energy supply has been tested for a short time, for safety reasons, we mainly use the traditional floating heart."

"How much does it cost?"

"One is about 100 light seeds, not cheap." "Not expensive either."

The chairman asked about some technical details.

Li Mo answered one by one.

Finally, the other party seemed to be relieved: "You have done a solid and remarkable job. In terms of application, you don't have to pursue new technologies that are completely independent of the current system. Micro-innovation and reintegration can sometimes lead to unexpected discoveries."

"In the future, I hope that everyone will not deliberately avoid the Yin Guang technique. This mature scientific and technological system should also become an important part of the tools we can use."

Li Mo also agreed with this.

The chairman said, “Then let’s start testing.”

Li Mo said on the intercom: "Agree to go into the sea."

The operator responded immediately:
"The aircraft's braking system is normal, and the working mode is turned on."

After a brief check, the operator controlled the exoskeleton armor and walked into the Dead Sea step by step. His large body was gradually submerged in the mist.

Li Mo took out the enhanced controller again and projected the real-time image of the work clothes on the black azure wall.

Through the camera on the helmet, the operator can see that he has entered the seabed. The visibility is low and the dust is heavy, so he switches to infrared mode to capture heat sources.

The viewing angle is very stable.

The operator walked underwater for fifteen minutes before returning the same way.

The broad arms took off the huge helmet, revealing a young male face.

Li Mo introduced: "Chairman, this is our operator and company employee, Azhe."

Ah Zhe stood up straight in a hurry: "Hello, Chairman!"

"Hello, thank you for your hard work."

The chairman looked at him and asked, "Which department were you in before?"

"To answer the chairman, I was a soot worker at first. Later, I was sent as an expatriate employee of the manufacturing department to go to the Glass Castle for exchange and study. After I came back, I worked as a mechanic in the garment factory." Azhe spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice.

"Why are you here?"

"I was very interested in clothes because I heard that volunteers were needed to operate the new clothes. I went to the garment factory for this reason... to be able to wear fashionable new clothes and new shoes."

The young man said somewhat embarrassedly: "I just didn't expect that the clothes here would be like this. I was shocked at first. But this is more fashionable than any clothes I have seen before!"

"really."

The chairman also smiled and gave a thumbs up: "This is what a tough guy should wear."

"That's right! Chairman, you understand!" Azhe was immediately excited and gestured with his arms to show his mechanical biceps.

"Are you afraid of entering the Dead Sea?"

"afraid."

Ah Zhe also said honestly: "At first, I also thought about it for a long time. But in fact, it has been tested before. First, it was tested on skeletons, and then insects and gerbils were placed inside. They are all very safe. But after all, if something goes wrong, people will die, so I hesitated for a long time."

"Finally... I may be the first ordinary person to enter the Dead Sea and survive! And there is also a bonus of 100 light seeds!"

“So I thought, let’s go!”

The chairman couldn't help laughing and said to Li Mo: "Yes, the incentives must be in place."

Li Mo also smiled and said: "After all, it is a huge risk, and the risk and benefit should be proportional. Our work clothes will definitely have a place in this world in the future."

"Not a place..."

The chairman shook his head: "This completely breaks the common sense that ordinary humans cannot enter the Dead Sea. It has truly rewritten history."

"This is a small step for you, but a giant leap for the new mankind."

"This landmark invention will change the world."

The chairman gave an unprecedentedly high evaluation, which made Li Mo tremble with fear.

"But we haven't found the profit point yet..."

He was a little afraid, because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

“That’s where the profit point is.”

The chairman smiled and said, "They are not only important tools for exploring the Dead Sea, but will also be essential equipment for ordinary people to enter Mars and the Moon in the future. What do you think, is there any profit?"

Li Mo was stunned for a moment.

Martian mining overalls?
So this is what the chairman thought!

If that's the case... Indeed, just by wearing this, ordinary people can go to Mars to mine. That world is full of light seed mines, and the cost of these 100 light seeds is nothing at all!
As expected of the chairman, he found its huge hidden value at a glance!
"This name is too low-key. We have to change it."

The chairman said.

"Please give it a name."

Li Mo said along the way.

All the old employees in the company know that the chairman likes the naming session the most, so it is best not to talk nonsense at this time.

The chairman thought about it and touched his chin.

"Let's call it 'Wasteland Armor'."

"What a nice name! Nice!"

Li Mo quickly flattered him.

The chairman smiled and seemed to be quite pleased.
