Chapter 191: Power Armor
Chapter 187 Power Armor
The strengthened Teutonic warriors were named extreme warriors by Owen, and they were worthy of the name, each of them was as strong as a monster, after all, Teutonic warriors were originally the limit of mortals, after the tyrant strengthening, they even broke the upper limit, even though they couldn’t reach the legend, the general high level fighting knights weren’t their opponents.
The success of the extreme warrior’s transformation made Owen greatly encouraged, so he handed over the strengthening of the remaining nine Teutonic warriors to the Flame Queen, and couldn’t wait to drag Brian to carry out the project of power armor.
As a matter of fact, Owen already had the conditions to make a power armor, if he didn’t consider the practicality and mass production, with the puppet intelligence core and energy core, as well as mastering puppetry and alchemy, it really wasn’t that difficult for him to make a power armor, at most, it didn’t have the same performance as the genuine ones, but he had everything he should have.
The problem is that a mature equipment needs more than just high profile, practicality and popularity is the most important, so it can not be mass produced is the biggest problem.
What’s more, a single boutique is time-consuming and labor-intensive, not to mention the need for Owen to participate in the whole process, and consume a lot of progress value, the cost-effectiveness is too low.
Therefore, Owen’s next research direction is not to create the best power armor, but to create the most suitable power armor, at least the elves and the Flame Queen can produce on their own, at most add Brian, as long as he does not need to participate in anyway.
The easiest way is mechanical power armor, similar to the machine gun soldiers in Starcraft.
However, considering that the Teutonic warriors who used power armor all possessed excellent martial arts skills, so purely mechanical construction of power armor was not suitable, and could not take advantage of the Teutonic warrior’s combat skills and flexibility, so Owen planned to imitate the electronic muscle beam technology of the Star Warrior’s power armor.
Similar technology Owen had, otherwise how did Endurance Kill come about.
The puppet itself was Owen’s test of the new technology, using human body mimicry technology, so the metal skeleton and artificial muscles all over the body were completely mimicking the human body’s structure.
These artificial muscles could be transformed into electronic muscle bundles to provide additional power.
But after testing, Owen realized that he was naive, although the muscle beam on the puppet was almost the same principle as the electronic muscle beam used by the star fighters, but the difference in materials and processing technology was measured in thousands of years.
In other words the power was not enough to drive the heavy outer armor of the armored car level of the star fighters.
After discovering this, Owen had planned to get a hybrid armor, which was to add a layer of mechanical power system on top of the electronic muscle beam, and then the outer armor.
Then remembering that the users were reinforced Teutonic warriors, a bunch of monsters whose strength was measured in tons, he decisively gave up this troublesome choice.
The Electronic Muscle Beam was only an auxiliary power device to this group of monsters, not a necessity.
Then Owen had planned to get a prototype first and slowly improve it later, but in the end, just as he delved into the research, he encountered another problem, that is, how to link the artificial muscles with the user, so that the artificial muscles could perfectly mimic the equiped person’s movements.
Star fighters use the black armor this kind of artificial implantation of subcutaneous technology to realize, but Owen can not do.
This technology is too much for him, because the nerve bundles extending from the black armor can perfectly integrate with the user’s nervous system, so don’t look at the starfighter equipped with heavy armor, but the flexibility and reaction is very high, this point Owen simply can’t do.
The Flame Queen is already very powerful in biochemistry, but also does not have this ability, and even lacks the relevant technical reserves, so if Owen wants to research, although not so basic, but also have to face countless difficult hurdles.
At this time, Owen wanted to give up the electronic muscle beam, turn to research mechanical power armor, but the Flame Empress timely came up with a new transformation program, that is to add the intelligent core.
The Intelligent Core was able to capture and collect the user’s movements, forming a new power operation mode, allowing the power armor’s movements to become more and more smooth.
Although it was a bit troublesome, it had to be said that it was the best solution at the moment. After solving these problems, there was already a molded foundation, and Owen decided to build a prototype.
The Flame Queen took over Owen’s multi-functional workbench through the spiritualized crystal ball, only to see the alloy skeleton after welding was completed, six high-precision mechanical arms, like the feet of a spider, darted in and out of the frame weaving artificial muscle fibers to fix the electronic muscle bundles on it.
After completing the fixation of the muscle bundles, a modified mechanical spine was installed on the back of the power muscle suit, serving to link all the electronic muscle bundles.
By the first completed reinforcement of the Teutonic warrior put on the power muscle suit prototype, with the start, under the stimulation of the electric current, the electronic muscle bundles immediately contracted and wriggled, because of all the problems, the contraction of the power of the reinforcement of the Teutonic warrior are red in the face, if it is replaced by an ordinary person, I am afraid that the intestines can be squeezed out.
A series of tests were carried out next, and Owen’s frown never loosened.
Electronic muscle beams were underpowered that was for the thick armor, in reality the contraction force generated by this thing by electronic stimulation was terrifyingly strong.
This was both an advantage and a disadvantage, because of the lack of control it could only react through motion capture, the problem was that loss of control was completely the norm until a template for power operation was formed.
Even the reinforced Teutonic warrior was bruised and purple at the end of the test, all from being strangled by the out of control electronic muscle beams, if it were a normal person to test it, it would have been over at the start, and then it would have been burned, buried, and resuscitation would have been saved.
It is good that the Flame Queen took over the intelligent core and accelerated the formation of the power operation template, which reduces the number of out of control, and can carry out the next step.
Long ago forged outer armor under the manipulation of the mechanical arm, fixed on the exposed alloy skeleton of the power muscle suit, to share the weight to the whole body, and then equipped with a twenty millimeter caliber burst gun with a chain saw sword, the cottage version of the Star Warrior is finally formed.
The whole set of power armor is about two meters and five high, using alloy skeleton lining, electronic muscle beam power, composite outer armor, the total weight is about half a ton.
Such a heavy equipment, the demand for energy is very small, an energy core can maintain the daily demand, three can meet the long time intense fighting, after all, the energy core is able to automatically restore energy, unless it is so intense that it needs to use three energy cores, and does not give the time to recover.
This is mainly because the whole set of armor does not have much extra equipment and functions, and the electronic muscle beam does not consume much energy, more as auxiliary power.
But the fact that the whole set of equipment couldn’t be mass-produced was what caused Owen’s headache, and there was an illusion of wasted effort.
But Brian and the Flame Queen gave Owen a surprise, they avoided the many difficulties of this prototype set and designed a set of mechanical power armor, which was able to be mass-produced despite being bulky and sluggish and having quite a few drawbacks.
Well, it was a bit frustrating, but wasn’t that why he was looking for his men.
The armor, powered by electronic muscle beams, was named Extreme Armor by Owen, as it was also the only thing that could be equipped by an Extreme Warrior.
The purely mechanical power armor was named Iron Fist and was used by the Teutonic Warriors.
In this way the territory had two models of power armor, the Seiko and the mass-produced.
