Chapter 277 The Battle Between Humanity and the Exploding Wall of Fire! (Third Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Fighting fires is a very dangerous task.

Especially wildfires in the mountains and forests.

Firefighters not only have to carry equipment and supplies on rugged mountain roads to find the source of the fire, but also have to be wary of the ever-changing wind direction.

If the wind suddenly changes, the firefighters will be in danger.

In fact, it's not just dangerous, because many firefighters have already lost their lives because of this situation.

In the past, this was unavoidable because human physical strength is limited, making it impossible to wear extra-heavy fire suits with better protection, or to carry more equipment and supplies.

However, with the development of technology, this situation has changed.

When people mention exoskeletons, they think of military applications, but exoskeletons have applications in many industries, with industrial use being just one of them.

One important function of exoskeletons is to increase the user's load-bearing capacity, which is very useful for firefighters who need to carry firefighting equipment and supplies into the mountains.

In fact, some exoskeleton products have already begun to be tested by firefighters.

(Net map)
The exoskeleton products tested were categorized as powered and unpowered.

Powered ones use electric motors to drive the motor, while unpowered ones use mechanical springs to store energy.

Their main function is to increase the load carried by firefighters, but they are not very effective in other aspects.

Not to mention they are not particularly well-developed in terms of load-bearing capacity.

But it's okay, Lu Yun is here.

Under the guise of making props for science fiction movies, Lu Yun collaborated with relevant domestic research institutes to create a basic version 1.0 of a powered exoskeleton using the "Big Technology Integration Theory," which was barely usable.

Based on this version of powered exoskeleton, different versions of powered exoskeletons have been developed to meet different needs, such as the engineering version in the Blue Star Aerospace Intelligent Manufacturing Base.

As for powered exoskeletons used in combat... well, let's not go into that.

There are other types of powered exoskeletons, such as the special fire-fighting full-coverage powered suit that Lu Yun specifically participated in developing.

Lu Yun had little recollection of the video released by Depp showing Amber Heard and Elon Musk being intimate in an elevator, but he had a fairly clear memory of several forest fires, both domestic and international.

This is because it not only presents a comparison between China and other countries, but also highlights the tragic sacrifice of heroic firefighters.

Specialized fire-fighting full-coverage powered suits are not difficult to develop. They do not need to consider bulletproof issues on the battlefield, so they do not require any impact-resistant armor plates.

Instead, they tend to favor the need for intravehicular activity (IVA) suits.

The main function of intravehicular activity (IVA) suits is to create a microclimate environment suitable for human survival and work around the human body, to protect against the harmful effects of low-pressure environments, and also to provide protection in high-temperature, low-temperature, or harmful gas environments.

If any external danger changes, the intravehicular activity (IVA) suit will shut off its external connections, putting the suit in a sealed oxygen supply state. The emergency oxygen supply device will deliver oxygen into the IVA suit through the suit's oxygen supply hose. Some of the oxygen will enter the helmet for the astronaut to breathe and for head cooling, and then be discharged by the pressure regulator.

Of course, the ground, even the ground with forest fires, is not as dangerous as a vacuum environment. Therefore, the protection level of special fire-fighting full-coverage powered suits does not need to be on par with spacesuits. A simplified version of the protection capability is sufficient.

After all, real spacesuits are too expensive.

Therefore, its protective suits are mainly designed to deal with large fires and lack of oxygen.

Its powered exoskeleton is responsible for bearing the weight, part of which is the weight of the heavy fire protective suit, and part of which is the fire equipment, such as fire axes, wind-powered fire extinguishers, and high-pressure fine water mist fire extinguishers.

These pieces of equipment weigh dozens of kilograms each. Just traversing mountains and valleys to find the source of a fire would consume a lot of physical strength, let alone carrying out firefighting operations after finding the fire.

Even if the fire doesn't start in some remote corner, it's extremely physically demanding for firefighters to drag water hoses up the mountain. Not to mention the huge impact when the hoses spray water, making it difficult to operate even on flat ground, let alone on steep slopes or in complex terrain.

The wildfire in the Sichuan area covered a very large area and attracted a lot of attention from the public. Many media outlets were broadcasting live from the scene, but the firefighters had no time to pay attention to them.

"Hurry up!"

Thousands of rescue workers used various methods to extinguish the fire, including water extinguishing, conventional firefighting, creating firebreaks, and humidifying the area. Several firefighting aircraft were continuously carrying out water-dropping operations, and even a domestically produced fixed-wing firefighting aircraft undergoing testing was deployed. Although the fires were under control in many areas, the situation in some places was complex, and firefighters had no idea what the situation was like inside. Personnel had to be sent in to extinguish the embers and prevent them from reigniting.

Some of the fires are merging together, and it will be dangerous once they do.

And this is the place that team of firefighters equipped with special full-coverage power suits went to.

Even without the special full-coverage powered suits for firefighting, they would still go!

The mountain roads there are rugged and the terrain is complex, making it inaccessible by vehicles. Moreover, it is a primeval forest at an altitude of over 3000 meters, where there is a problem of oxygen deficiency.

But the firefighters, equipped with special full-coverage power suits, carried dozens of kilograms of equipment and quickly traversed the mountains and forests. The firefighter carrying the battery supply was also not slow, because that two-wheeled vehicle was electrically assisted.

"Captain, this thing is really useful. Usually, we'd be completely out of breath after going deep into places like this, but this time we're not in any serious condition!"

"Yes, the power of technology is amazing!"

"Alright, that's enough. The fire is just ahead. Prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

Everyone was wearing respirators, and in the fully enclosed space, they could hear the firm voices of their comrades, which had a slight static tone. Everyone felt a sense of security.

"boom!"

The raging fire made a sound and emitted heat radiation from a great distance, but the firefighters, equipped with special full-coverage power suits, rushed straight in and crushed any rampant flames like ruthless machines.

What was originally a cautious firefighting operation has now turned into a full-scale assault and annihilation campaign.

But just as they had extinguished most of the fire and were preparing to move to a new location, an accident occurred.

"call--!"

The wind direction suddenly changed, and the thick humus in the forest suddenly burst into flames, sending a huge fireball hurtling towards them.

"Explosive!!"

"run!"

Although some people signaled to their teammates based on their training and survival instincts, it was too late to move; the massive fireball instantly engulfed them.

"Calm down!"

The captain yelled, "We're alright! Move closer to me! This way!"

The firefighters on the outside had a clearer view; after the wind direction suddenly changed, they immediately saw a wall of fire, more than ten meters high, rushing towards them.

“Whoosh—boom!”

The staff member who was recording the fire scene with his camera was terrified until a firefighter grabbed him and pulled him outside.

"withdraw!"

"Run!"

"Retreat down the mountain!"

"Oh no! The assault team is still up there, they're surrounded by fire!"

"Look there! They've broken out!"

Almost everyone saw a group of tall figures equipped with special fire-fighting full-coverage power suits rush out from the raging fire wall. The wind they generated seemed to fight against the wind that fueled the fire, and even dispersed some of the dense fire wall!
"Brilliant!"

The staff member holding the camera also captured this scene perfectly!
