Chapter 18 is so cool, it's absolutely awesome!
It's mid-June now.
DeepBlue Technology's laboratory has been expanded three times. The first floor is a materials laboratory, the second floor is an electronics laboratory, and the third floor is an algorithm laboratory.
Huang Chongwei's team has expanded to eight people, and he is responsible for tackling the manufacturing process of large-area skin.
Guo Tao and Song Yi, along with their MEMS team, redesigned the sensor array.
Cheng Siyuan's algorithm team consists of five new algorithm engineers: three work on image processing and two work on the underlying architecture.
Their task was to reconstruct the environmental field reconstruction algorithm, reducing the response time from 0.03 seconds to 0.01 seconds, a delay that is completely imperceptible to the human eye.
But one problem stumped everyone: the industrial design of the combat uniforms.
At this moment, Lin Chuan, Guo Tao, Cheng Siyuan, and Song Yi were resting on the sofa in the office area, discussing four versions of the design drawings.
Lin Chuan read through them one by one.
The first version was all black, tight-fitting, like a diving suit.
"Too ugly." Lin Chuan succinctly gave this two-word evaluation.
The second version features enhanced tactical vests and various attachment points.
Lin Chuan: "Too ordinary."
The third version features a biomimetic design with a scale-like structure.
Lin Chuan: "Too flashy."
The fourth edition features a minimalist style, solid colors, and seamless design.
Lin Chuan: "Too boring."
Guo Tao, standing next to him, couldn't help but complain, "Why are you being so picky? Anyway, once you turn on stealth mode, you can't see anything, so it's good enough, right?"
Others also thought it made sense, as the core function of this equipment was stealth warfare.
When you turn on stealth mode, you can't see anything.
Lin Chuan insisted, "No, the aesthetic design can't be too sloppy. I can't accept that such a handsome man like me designs equipment that's too ugly."
Shen Yuxin, who happened to be passing by, heard his words and couldn't help but lower her head and cover her mouth with a smile.
After managing her expression, she slightly tilted her head and secretly glanced at Lin Chuan; he was indeed handsome.
"Then you do it?"
Guo Tao shrugged and said, "If you're so good, then you do it. I'm out of ideas."
Lin Chuan actually picked up a pen and started sketching on a blank sheet of paper.
When everyone saw that their leader had actually gotten the hang of it, they all crowded around.
Lin Chuan first drew the outline of a human figure, and then covered the surface with a layer of delicate hexagonal grid.
The grid is not uniform, but rather gradually changes from the center outwards, like some kind of intricate geometric pattern.
"This is the structure of the skin surface," Lin Chuan said as he drew. "It's arranged in a hexagonal honeycomb pattern, with each hexagon being an independent control unit. The edges must be smooth and there should be no creases."
Lin Chuan continued to describe the helmet, outlining a streamlined design that fits the head perfectly.
"The helmet should provide full coverage, but it should not obstruct the field of vision. It should have a built-in HUD display that can project the system status onto the edge of the field of vision."
When it comes to the torso, the combat uniform is not a simple onesie, but a layered structure.
The inner layer is a temperature control layer that keeps body temperature constant.
The middle layer consists of the core processor and components.
The outer layer is a stealth skin, and the three layers are connected by flexible circuitry.
"The lines of the shoulders and waist should have a sense of strength, but not be bulky." He finally drew the limbs, and the joints were the most difficult part of the design.
When bending, the skin must not wrinkle or be stretched excessively.
Lin Chuan marked on the drawings that the joints would use a pre-formed structure to simulate ergonomics and ensure that the skin would remain flat in any posture.
After finishing the last stroke, he pushed the drawing to the center of the table.
Everyone stared at him. Guo Tao remained silent for a moment, then looked at Lin Chuan and asked, "When did you secretly start learning graphic design behind my back?"
"no."
"Impossible, he definitely stole it..."
"It's what I'm thinking," Lin Chuan said with a smile. "If I want to make something, I naturally know what it should look like. Aesthetics are the key."
Guo Tao looked at the drawing again and muttered, "To be honest, it's definitely cooler than the other four versions. You're pretty impressive."
Those present couldn't help but nod in agreement; this version was indeed handsome, much better looking than the other four versions.
The combat uniforms on the drawings are not in the style of traditional military uniforms; they have a strong futuristic, sci-fi feel and don't seem like products from the present day.
The overall lines are smooth, the structure is complex but not messy, and the whole reveals an aesthetic that transcends function.
Finally, Lin Chuan looked at everyone and asked, "What do you mean?"
Guo Tao replied without hesitation, "We'll use the version you designed."
Others also expressed that Lin Chuan's version of the industrial design was better. Although it didn't have many details, overall, if the details were improved, it would definitely be several times better than the previous four versions.
Thus, the industrial design of the first generation of individual stealth combat uniforms was finalized, adopting the fifth version.
In the days that followed, Lin Chuan led his technical team to refine the industrial design and then began to build the first individual stealth combat suit system.
The technical issues have all been resolved. The Hyperdimensional Technology Library provides a complete technology tree, making it an open-book exam. The biggest challenge, however, is actually creating the finished product.
This is not easy; being able to understand and manufacture it according to the blueprints is not something that ordinary people can do.
DeepBlue Technology is currently relatively unknown, but its technical team is comprised of highly skilled individuals.
Lin Chuan, as the key figure, goes without saying, and the newly recruited people are all top talents carefully selected by the military.
It's not easy, but it's not impossible.
……
Time flies, and it's already mid-July.
Everyone was in the DeepBlue Technology lab.
Huang Chongwei carefully removed the last piece of skin, the helmet part, from the sedimentation chamber and placed it on the operating table.
Six pieces of skin: helmet, torso, left arm, right arm, left leg, and right leg.
They have a faint sheen, and under the light, they present a strange luster.
Two hours later, Song Yi said, "The fitting is complete."
Cheng Siyuan continued, "System burning complete."
Lin Chuan said succinctly, "Let's assemble it."
Huang Chongwei immediately called on several colleagues to start assembling.
First, unfold the torso; it's a specially made black bodysuit with a lining, its surface covered in densely packed electrical circuits that resemble blood vessels.
He attached the helmet and the skin covering his limbs piece by piece, pressing each connection point repeatedly to ensure good contact.
As time passed, a complete combat uniform was revealed to everyone.
"That's so cool! Absolutely awesome!"
Someone said something that everyone agreed with.
The combat suit gleamed under the lights and featured some linear loops. When powered on, it emitted a blue light that flowed along these loops for one cycle.
After a three-second interval, the left and right loop repeats once. Once in stealth mode, it will disappear.
The helmet is full-coverage with sharp angles, strong and powerful lines on the shoulders and waist, and fine folds at the joints, resembling some kind of sophisticated mechanical joint.
It's worth mentioning that this set of equipment not only has a male version, but also a concept design for a female warrior version.
However, no physical product was ever made from the female version design, and there are no related plans from the military.
If the military needs to create a female warrior version, they can push the production line to create it later, but the probability of this is very low.
