Cutting-edge technology: Starting with individual stealth equipment

One soldier realized what was happening and immediately said indignantly, "This is too unfair! At least they told us that the enemy we were facing could be invisible."

He continued, unconvinced, "If we had known you could become invisible like this, we definitely wouldn't have set up such a rigid defense. Even if we had directly suppressed you with firepower, you wouldn't have been able to get in. You might have been taken out by the second line of defense."

A comrade next to him said, "There's nothing to say. If the enemy has such a stealth force on the battlefield, they won't tell you beforehand."

These words left him speechless for a moment.

The comrade couldn't help but say again, "Fortunately, the stealth unit is ours; I wouldn't want to face an enemy like that."

Indeed, absolutely no one wants to face such an enemy.

If you don't know that the enemy has stealth capabilities, you'll be caught off guard and crushed, just like in this exercise.

Knowing that the enemy has the ability to become invisible is also terrible, as it can cause immense psychological torment.

When you know the other person is invisible, you could be killed in an instant.

They react like startled birds to the slightest disturbance, seeing danger everywhere, even in the smallest things.

You might be so scared that you break down before the other party even actually makes a move.

Constantly maintaining a tense nerve and battling wits with the air will eventually leave a person mentally and physically exhausted.

Even for people with low mental resilience, it's not surprising that they experience mental breakdowns.

At this moment, the bigwigs present on the viewing platform applauded and smiled.

Clearly, they were very satisfied with the result.

Guo Tao, Huang Chongwei, and the others felt a surge of pride, while Lin Chuan remained much calmer.

……

In the days to come, Lin Chuan and his technical team will stay here for a while, where their work will involve data collection, identifying problems, and making improvements and refinements.

I get up at six o'clock every morning and finish work at midnight.

Seven special forces soldiers took turns trying on the combat uniforms and testing them in different environments, missions, and tactical maneuvers.

At the end of the first week, the testing team submitted its first batch of feedback and suggestions.

Poor ergonomics of weapons, poor compatibility between existing rifle grips and scopes and combat uniforms, and compromised stealth capabilities.

It is recommended to customize a dedicated weapon or improve the grip design.

In jungle environments, the skin is easily scratched; branches, thorns, and rocks can all leave scratches on the skin's surface.

Scratches do not affect visual observation, but they can reflect light at certain angles, revealing the location.

It is recommended to add a protective layer or develop a rapid repair technology.

When a helmet visor fogs up, the exhaled hot air will condense on the inside of the visor during high-intensity exercise, forming fog and affecting vision.

It is recommended to add a ventilation system or an anti-fog coating.

Battery life is insufficient. After running in stealth mode for 5 hours, a low battery warning is issued. The stealth battery life is only 6 hours.

Long-distance penetration missions may take 8-12 hours, so it is recommended to increase battery capacity or develop more advanced battery technology.

Joints recover slowly after prolonged bending. After squatting for more than 30 minutes, the skin on the knees and elbows takes 5 seconds to fully recover its flatness. During this period, the stealth effect is reduced. It is recommended to optimize the preformed structure.

In total, there are 17 suggestions for improvement.

Huang Chongwei read through the list one by one and handed it to Lin Chuan, who glanced at it and said, "Except for the battery life issue, the other problems can be solved in the short term."

In the days that followed, Lin Chuan and his technical team designed solutions for each piece of feedback.

Cheng Siyuan, along with two engineers, set up a testing environment in the base's temporary laboratory, repeatedly simulating scenarios such as jungle, mountain, night battle, and street fighting.

During this period, Song Yi discovered a phenomenon: after the skin was scratched, as long as it was left to stand for a period of time, the scratches would partially "heal".

But this is not a true healing; rather, the graphene layers rearrange themselves under thermal motion, "smoothing out" the edges of the scratch.

Based on this discovery, the team integrated micro-heating wires into the skin to actively heat and accelerate the process.

However, this requires improvements to the process, but it is indeed feasible.

As time went on, by the seventh week, Lin Chuan's team had collected enough data samples.

They are also preparing to return to DeepBlue Technology.

During this period, the seven soldiers had become "one with" their combat uniforms, which was evident during their subsequent drills.

For example, when moving forward, you no longer deliberately look for cover, whereas before you would habitually look for cover and forget that you are invisible.

On the day Lin Chuan and his group left, Wang Chengjun gave them a ride.

"How should I put it... this stealth combat suit you designed..." In the car, Wang Chengjun said to Lin Chuan, who was riding with him, "According to the feedback from the soldiers, wearing it makes them feel invincible and elusive."

After a pause, Wang Chengjun continued, "But that's an illusion. It only makes you unable to see, not invincible. If a bullet hits you, you'll still die."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Colonel Wang is worried that if the soldiers rely too much on this, they will forget their basic skills."

Wang Chengjun nodded and said, "Yes, the advantages brought by the equipment are significant. It would be dangerous to ignore them."

At this point, he turned to Lin Chuan and asked, "Comrade Lin Chuan, could the defensive capabilities of this equipment be improved? Is it technically feasible?"

This equipment set is undeniably powerful, but its shortcomings are also quite obvious.

Besides being delicate, it offers too little protection for the wearer; you can't even wear a bulletproof vest, and the stealth combat suit itself has almost no good bulletproof capability.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan frankly said, "I can't give you a definite answer right now, but this is indeed a question I'm thinking about. Strengthening the defensive capabilities of the combat suit is also the main focus of the second generation."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chengjun immediately smiled and said, "Great, I believe your team can definitely do it. If the defensive capabilities of the combat uniforms can be significantly improved, the soldiers' overall battlefield survivability and combat effectiveness will also be greatly enhanced."

After giving him a ride, Wang Chengjun got out of the car.

Those seven combat suits were left at the base to continue testing in various environments, missions, and extreme conditions.

The complete acceptance cycle for a new type of equipment is very long. During the finalization stage, it usually takes one or two years, or even longer.

This process requires repeated design, testing, improvement, and review to ensure that the equipment's tactical and technical specifications, reliability, and manufacturability meet the standards.

……

Xin'an City, DeepBlue Technology.

After returning, Lin Chuan only rested for one day before returning to work at the company today.

DeepBlue Technology has now expanded its office space and upgraded its hardware in all aspects, and Lin Chuan's office has also been moved.

At this moment, Lin Chuan was alone in his office.

He remained silent, his expression focused, his attention entirely on the information window of the hyperdimensional technology library that only he could perceive and see.

[Time-limited mission completed, 1 Tech Point awarded]

[Currently available technology points: 1]

Lin Chuan successfully completed the first acceptance test required by the military for the Hyperdimensional Library within the stipulated time, with plenty of time to spare.

Seeing that another new technology could be unlocked, I immediately perked up.
