Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 606: A Large Quantity of Anti-Terrorism Equipment is Needed! (Second Update!)

After leaving Benjamin's office, Eisent picked up his phone and realized it was 10 p.m., which was already past midnight in Tokyo. He put the phone back in his pocket and went back to his place.

After waking up, still feeling sleepy, he took out his phone, found the name Adolf Roosevelt in the dedicated chat app, edited the message, and sent it.

[Old friend, it's been a while since I messaged you. We need a set of anti-terrorism equipment. Here are the requirements. Please read them and then send us a message!]

After sending the text message, he took a picture of the sketch Benjamin had drawn and sent it over as well.

Not long after he sent the message, his phone chimed.

A message has been sent back.

Upon opening it, it was indeed a message from Adolf Roosevelt, but the message was very brief, consisting of only a question mark.

?

Upon seeing the question mark, Eisent seemed to see a well-dressed Japanese man holding a phone in both hands, shaking his head from side to side, occasionally tapping his head, rubbing his eyes, and then opening his eyes wide again to look at the photo in his hand.

Finding the photo still there completely shattered my worldview.

really.

After a wait of about 10 seconds, a new message appeared on Essent's phone.

[Did General Benjamin watch too much Star Wars or The Matrix?]

Reminded by this, Eisent finally remembered why this thing looked so familiar. This so-called powered exoskeleton looked like a combination of robots from Star Wars and The Matrix.

After hesitating for a moment, he replied to the other end of the line.

Maybe, but we just want a PowerPoint presentation. Could you make one and send it to me as soon as you're done?

After sending the message, he hesitated for a moment, then sent another message to the other party:
I want to know, with current technology, is it possible to accomplish these things?

The first message went unanswered, but the second message received an immediate response.

[I'm sorry, Mr. Eisent, although I'd love to do this, I need to be clear from a technical standpoint. With current materials technology, it's impossible to manufacture something similar while still meeting the requirement of being lightweight. I'll send you the PowerPoint presentation by tomorrow morning. I still have some work to do, let's talk again next time.]

After reading the message, Eisent sighed.

Japanese people really work like crazy.

He stuffed his phone into his pocket before getting out of bed to wash up.

…………

Suzhou.

Looking at the abstract photo on his phone, Lin Yi sighed, opened his computer, and created a new document.

However, before officially starting work, he closed his phone, found Leng Yun's number, sent her the photo, and also sent a message:
[Sir, this is what the American Central Theater Command frontline command needs. It's supposedly anti-terrorism equipment. Could you tell me if there's been any major incident there recently?]

Lin Yi tilted his phone to the side and began typing the settings document.

This thing is actually an exoskeleton.

Powered exoskeletons are called powered exoskeletons, while unpowered exoskeletons are called unpowered exoskeletons. One relies on power to reduce the burden on the human body, while the other relies on certain mechanical principles to reduce the burden on the body.

Passive exoskeletons are easier to manufacture, as they mainly involve ergonomics.

As for powered exoskeletons, they are easy to make, but also difficult to make.

If the size is increased, this thing will be very easy to make.

It's difficult to make because this thing has size limitations.

After spending about 10 minutes filling in the common requirements for the two types of exoskeletons, Lin Yi closed the document and copied and pasted the information.

Change your name.

Then I opened the document again and adjusted the differences.

Before I could finish adjusting, my phone chimed with a message from Leng Yun.

[The most significant recent events in the Middle East include the recapture of most of Mosul by the terrorist group ISI, the defection of some personnel from the 4th and 5th Brigades of the Iraqi 2nd Division, the defection of Division Commander Zaidi to England, and the Iraqi government issuing a statement vowing to bring him back, no matter where he is.]

In Mosul, the remaining militants stand across the Tigris River, facing off against the terrorists. Based on available data, it is estimated that ISI will be able to capture Mosul within two weeks to a month.

[But strangely, America didn't react strongly to ISI's operation this time; they didn't even interfere, which is completely out of character for the Americans.]

By the way, can you make this thing you posted?

Lin Yi read through the messages one by one.

The information from ISI matches what Sadr Jr. said, except for the attitude of the American people.

After all, if Mosul falls, the pipelines transporting oil from western Iraq to the rest of the world will be affected, oil sales will be hindered, and the American people will certainly not make any money.

Not making money is not the American habit.

There must be another reason to stop the Americans from attacking these terrorists.

Unfortunately, we didn't have enough intelligence.

Too lazy to care.

After reading the last message, Lin Yi replied to Leng Yun with just two simple words:

【It can be done!】

After replying to the message, he continued typing on the document in his hand, and the document was completed in about half an hour.

Clicking "Save" will bring up the system again, allowing you to create a new project.

【Knight Military Exoskeleton 01/02】

Import the requirements from the document, and the system will automatically match and adjust them according to the requirements.

Within two or three minutes, a notification popped up.

[The project has been successfully established. Based on a comprehensive evaluation, it is determined that the project requires an investment of 2000 million RMB in research and development. Should this research and development funding be allocated?]

The research funding was more than Lin Yi had expected, but it was still acceptable. He raised his hand and paid the 2000 million yuan research funding.

The familiar little blue circle appeared and kept spinning for two or three minutes before the system started outputting data.

The system was outputting data, and Lin Yi was reviewing it. He wanted to see where all the funds had been spent.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered the problem.

Most of the 2000 million yuan funding went to powered exoskeletons.

Xiaomi Heavy Industry possesses the core components of a powered exoskeleton: the battery and the exoskeleton materials.

This part didn't cost too much.

So the more he looked, the more curious he became. Finally, when he turned to the end, he saw the section that had the highest cost.

[Neuromuscular controller!]

Brain-Computer Interaction!

The unexpected appearance of these two items was somewhat beyond Lin Yi's expectations.

In his estimation, powered exoskeletons were nothing more than using ergonomics and, with the assistance of motors, reducing the burden on the human body. But he never expected that investing 2000 million would actually bring these two things to life.

He quickly selected the neuromuscular controller, wanting to see what it could do.

[Neuromuscular controller: It can control the body by receiving weak electrical signals emitted by the human neuromuscular system during search activities, enabling the corresponding exoskeleton equipment to perform corresponding actions.]

Unfortunately, there is only a text description and no video demonstration.

However, based on the text, Lin Yi was able to guess some of the images.

A replica robotic arm is placed to the side, while another person, wearing a corresponding control device, spreads their five fingers and moves, causing the robotic arm next to them to move as well.

Of course, there is another scene he can effectively imagine.

This scene shows a person who has lost an arm. After being fitted with a robotic arm equipped with the corresponding device, the person can effectively control the robotic arm to open and close its five fingers, and then return to a normal working state.

The neuromuscular controller looks like a bracelet, and with some modifications, it would be very suitable for use by people with disabilities.

After looking at the neuromuscular controller, he turned his attention to the brain-computer interface.

Brain-computer interface (BCI): (No installation required) Collects electrical signals emitted by the human brain and uses these signals to control mechanical devices.

The brain-computer interface looks like a centipede with a large head and a small body.

The head is hexagonal in shape, about the size of a woman's watch. The lower half is the body, about 15 centimeters long, with 8 protruding tactile electrodes on each side.

The device is worn on the back of the head, with the head area attached to the back of the head, and the remaining part attached along the spine. The eight tactile electrodes on the left and right sides are attached to both sides of the spine to collect signals.

There is a dedicated spot on the powered exoskeleton for mounting this device.

After examining the mounting points, Lin Yi felt that this thing would be more suitable for making a helmet.

At this point, the remaining data has also been output.

After going through the entire process from beginning to end and memorizing the important information, Lin Yi selected the images provided by the system, as well as the design specifications and unimportant text, and rearranged the text and images.

Once the formatting was complete, the system output the document in English and simultaneously exported it to the computer.

Once the document appeared on the computer, he chuckled, opened Eisent's email, and sent the document to the other end.

He wanted to see something funny.

That is, when the Central Theater Command takes this document and asks the Ministry of National Defense to conduct research and development, and the research institutes below consume the funds and work for several years without producing anything, and then China pulls out the exact same thing, then who will be in big trouble.

It could be the Central Theater Command that proposed the design, the Ministry of National Defense that approved the design, or the research institute that conducted the research directly.

I have no idea what a grand occasion it was.

I reckon the gunfire will continue from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth!
Not long after the document was sent out, his phone on the table chimed with a message popping up.

News from Leng Yun.

There is only one question mark.

Lin Yi didn't waste any words. He imported some data into the computer, then picked up his phone, took a picture of the content on the computer, and spent one cent to send a multimedia message to the other party.

A minute later, his phone rang.

The name that flickers is Cold Cloud.

The phone call connected, and Leng Yun's impatient voice came through the line:
"Explain to me what a neuromuscular controller is!"

"Now that you've explained neuromuscular control, explain to me what brain-computer interfaces are!"

"Now that you've explained all this, explain to me what you mean by 'you can do it'!"

"No, have you secretly hidden an alien in your house?"

"who is it?"

"Is it that girlfriend you've brought out a few times?"

"Okay, I'll have Lao Guo come over, and you can explain this to him properly!"

Before Lin Yi could say a word, the call was disconnected. Sensing the other person's anxiety, he picked up his phone again, took pictures of some information from the neuromuscular controller and brain-computer interface, and sent them to him.

Yanjing.

Leng Yun put down his phone and was about to call Guo Song using the landline when his phone chimed with a new message.

He picked up the message and his eyes widened immediately.

If the photo Lin Yi sent him earlier only piqued his interest and made him curious about whether this thing could actually be made...

Now, this clearly defined function, along with the corresponding design and manufacturing approach, clearly tells him that Xiaomi Heavy Industry is capable of making this product.

What bothers him even more is that, from any perspective, this thing is best suited for use in military weapons.

Especially the Air Force.

With brain-computer interfaces combined with increasingly advanced fire control and radar systems, pilots will be able to operate with ease during combat.

With trembling hands, he dialed Guo Song's number. As soon as the call connected, he immediately shouted to Guo Song on the other end of the line:

"Old Guo, you need to take a plane to Suzhou right now, go to Xiaomi Heavy Industry, and find Lin Yi."

"Find out exactly what's going on with that powered exoskeleton!"

"Go there immediately!"

After he finished speaking hastily, Guo Song's even more ferocious voice came from the other side: "I just came back from the grasslands!"

"And what the hell was that powered exoskeleton you mentioned? What's that?"

"Individual combat support equipment! It can greatly enhance the firepower of individual soldiers. Under normal configuration, a fully armed soldier can carry about 40 kilograms of equipment, but if a powered exoskeleton is added, this number may double, or even triple."

They explained the function of the powered exoskeleton in the way they were most familiar with, and Leng Yun's excited heart gradually calmed down.

He said softly, "A few hours ago, Lin Yi's fake identity received a research and development request from America's Central Theater Command. They were given a very abstract photo and asked to create a PowerPoint presentation based on what was in the photo."

"Then Lin Yi sent me a picture of their self-made powered exoskeleton, and I was asking him if he could make one."

"He then provided the relevant design, manufacturing process documents, and photos."

"In other words, they have the data now, and if they have enough technology, they can manufacture it now."

"Go there right now and find out what's going on."

"If it can really be manufactured, then in the near future you will see a soldier with a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun in each hand, thousands of bullets on his back, and even a few missiles."

"A person standing there is a firing point."

"Especially in the high-altitude and cold border regions, such powered exoskeletons can greatly help our soldiers achieve victory in the war on the front lines."

"If they add drones to the mix, they'll be invincible!"

Final assembly.

Guo Song, who had just put down his luggage, unconsciously lowered his hands and gestured with them as if he were holding a 12.7 mm machine gun on the left and right.
