Technology: Breaking the monopoly global hegemony

Chapter 2516 A Busy Day

These days, you get by on your skills.

Without installing carbon-based chips, quantum chips, and igniting quantum technology in our equipment, how can we dare to fight in the data communication arena?

Even the arrogant soldiers of the various states of Indu knew that they could talk nonsense on the border of Great Xia, but they could only use their hands.

If they were to use modern weapons, their electronic fire control systems would be destroyed by electronic warfare in no time, and they would be mercilessly harvested by the Great Xia.

After testing the most important firepower output and data processing capabilities, the waterproof performance of this fifth-generation mechanical exoskeleton was also fully demonstrated in a pool several meters deep.

As He Zhifou watched Dong Cheng move freely in the saltwater and freshwater pools, even performing some tactical maneuvers to dodge the bionic robots in the water, his eyes filled with eagerness.

At this moment, he really wanted to lead a team to start researching Kyushu Technology's fifth-generation mechanical exoskeleton individual combat system.

Although he hasn't even fully understood some of the core technologies of the second generation yet...

The standard version of the second-generation individual combat system can fight in ordinary environments such as mud pits and water depths of up to two meters. However, in seawater or mud with corrosive substances, its combat capability and endurance will be greatly reduced, and the lifespan of the entire system may be shortened due to corrosion.

Zheng Feng, the senior commander of Anxi, watched as the member of the Guardian Team 2 easily found the target in the two 6-meter-deep pools. Although he was not an engineer with a science degree, he could recall the data given by the engineer when the two pools were designed.

At a depth of 6 meters in freshwater, the pressure is 58.8 kPa, while in a saline-alkali pool simulating seawater, the pressure at the bottom is approximately 60.3 kPa.

Ordinary people without any special training simply cannot perform various intense tactical maneuvers while diving for a long time under such pressure.

Only fishermen who grew up on the islands and reefs of the South China Sea can achieve this level of skill without training.

Subsequently, a series of harsh and destructive tests were conducted on the fifth-generation individual combat system, including frontal bombing, high-voltage electric shock, electromagnetic pulse damage, and storm weather effects.

To the surprise of the Anxi military, the previous system was completely unable to provide life protection against direct impact bombardment from large-caliber artillery shells, while this fifth-generation system can not only provide a certain degree of protection, but also avoid danger zones in a very short time.

Although the motors, chips, and control components are all normal electronic components, they also incorporate some of the upgraded technology of Kyushu Technica's mechs, enabling them to resist damage from electromagnetic pulse weapons for a short period of time.

"Previous mechanical exoskeleton individual combat systems mainly enhanced the individual soldier's personal action capabilities and weapon usage, such as reconnaissance soldiers, scouts, and transport soldiers."

At that time, we were limited by the technical problems of energy equipment, which prevented us from supporting long-endurance, high-intensity combat. We also had weaknesses in physical and electronic interference. Over the years, our engineers have been able to gradually miniaturize the technical equipment to the mecha platform. Through optimization of massive experimental data, and further miniaturization and functional reduction, we were finally able to install it on the individual soldier combat system platform.

Now, wearing this system, as long as one doesn't encounter hypersonic, high-yield bombardment, significantly improves battlefield survivability and mission execution capabilities.

Zheng Feng nodded slightly in agreement upon hearing Gu Qing's words.

With the rise of national strength, the improvement of national quality and welfare, the Great Xia government, to some extent, can no longer "accept" the data on the number of soldiers sacrificed. The entire Great Xia is like a woodshed piled high with dry pine firewood; if it weren't for constant control, it would have long been ignited by those sparks, bursting into a powerful flame and light that the whole world could not ignore.

The soldiers' weaponry was so luxurious that an entire squad "only" had one gun, while the rest were equipped with devastating firepower.

For several hours, Dong Cheng, a member of the Guardian Team Two, had been undergoing high-intensity testing and training.

Meanwhile, the staff of the Anxi military, while in shock, also began to make calculations.

Gu Qing once revealed to them that the research and development cost and manufacturing cost of the second-generation individual soldier exoskeleton were no less than one million yuan for a standard model of the second-generation Titan Star bionic mechanical exoskeleton, and no less than two million yuan for the matching second-generation Titan Star smart helmet.

With other miscellaneous accessories, a complete second-generation Titan Star individual soldier system costs around 3.5 million.

For the third and fourth generations, since Gu Qing did not personally negotiate the detailed agreement, the Anxi military was also unable to obtain a more accurate cost estimate range.

However, they accept the price increase in terms of improved combat power and functionality.

The current price of the fourth-generation TitanStar individual soldier system is around 450 million, while their original estimate for the fifth-generation TitanStar individual soldier system was around 500 million.

After all, the mech legion has many combat mechs, and these are projects that cost tens or hundreds of millions to negotiate.

The arms race between major powers is a competition of who can burn money and who can achieve the greatest results within a unit budget.

The fact that spending hundreds of billions only yields a mere shell with no real combat power is a major reason why top-tier players aren't afraid of it.

And the Great Xia...

Because their budgets for many costs are quite cost-effective, they often have the ability to spend over 100 million from a budget of 10 million.

At this underground experimental base, Gu Qing then had in-depth communication and exchanges with other senior commanders, discussing in detail the combat mechs, the military trade version of the mechs for sale abroad, and the development direction of the very popular game mechs that are currently being promoted globally.

In a sense, the Anzai military has "watched" Kyushu Technology grow up, making them a very high-quality partner.

Gu Qing has always adhered to the principle of reciprocity, and has not made exorbitant demands on Anxi with high-tech military products. When the Great Xia government mentioned building a base around Kunlun City, he readily agreed and stated, "If we cannot trust Anxi, there is no point in building Kunlun City."

It can be said that the Great Xia government is now paying more attention to Anxi than before in developing markets such as the Middle East and Europe, and Kyushu Technology is also involved.

This day was also the only time in recent years that Gu Qing had such close communication with so many people.
