Chapter 254 Africa’s Eye of Chaos

After listening to Chen Nian's explanation, Wang Jiancheng finally let go of his obsession and began to think seriously about how to build a "practical" mechanical exoskeleton.

This is not an easy decision to make.

You know, before this, he had always wanted to build something similar to the Master Chief's Mjolnir, or the Astartes' MK3.

"So our main goal now is to make it practical, right?"

“We don’t pursue speed or agility, but we pursue ‘effort saving’.”

"But in this case, we are back to the original problem."

"Energy has become the most critical and core issue."

"After all, if there is no battery life, everything is nonsense."

"That's true"

Chen Nian nodded in agreement and then said:

"I have been studying the subject of energy materials recently. Just wait for me for a while, maybe I will make a breakthrough."

"Energy materials?"

Wang Jiancheng was shocked.

This span. Although he had indeed heard that the courses that seniors learned in special classes were very complicated, he never imagined that an aircraft manufacturing major would actually go deep into the ground to learn the material.

Qiu Mai, on the other hand, was unfazed by this.

Compared to Wang Jiancheng, she is more aware of the importance of materials as she is engaged in electromechanical work.

It can even be said that all problems in modern industry are ultimately caused by materials.

Therefore, it is not particularly strange that Chen Nian began to turn to materials science after learning to a certain extent.

But...does he really have that much energy?

I have seen a statement in a book before, that is, different people may have different talents, but in the end, it is the individual's physical endowment that determines the level of achievement.

To put it bluntly, the more people can endure, the higher their achievements will be.

This sounds cruel, but it is also reality.

And what about Chen Nian?

Not only is he talented, but he can also endure.

I'm so envious.

Just when she was thinking about asking Chen Nian for advice on how to stay "energetic", the conversation between the two people opposite had ended.

"So in the final analysis, it's still a problem with lithium dendrites. Even if I tell you this, you won't understand it, so just leave it alone."

"If there's nothing else, let's go eat first."

"By the way, your project is progressing so fast, don't you plan to apply for a special project?"

Chen Nian asked curiously while leading the two of them outside.

In fact, Wang Jiancheng's mechanical exoskeleton project is progressing much faster than he expected. Especially after Qiu Mai joined, the preliminary practice of electromechanical and hydraulic integration has also been launched. It is more mature than the one Wang Jiancheng started at the beginning.

Passive mechas have really improved more than a little.

After hearing Chen Nian's words, Wang Jiancheng couldn't help but said with a grimace:

"I thought about it too, but I mentioned it to the school and they didn't like my project at all."

Chen Nian couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

What a joke, let alone NPU, even the military would not be able to start an exoskeleton project at this time.

How poor is the current Army?

Although several batches of equipment were sold, the amount of money was a drop in the bucket compared to the huge military expenditures.

99A hasn't been built yet, and the synthetic brigade hasn't even been formed yet. Where can I find the money to buy you an exoskeleton?

It would be nice to get a new military uniform!

If you really want to get this project off the ground, you have to develop it in the direction of civilian use.

So, he opened his mouth and said:

"Your thinking is wrong."

"Although the ultimate goal of the exoskeleton is to be used in the military, in fact, its role in the civilian field is definitely not small."

"All walks of life, especially jobs with high physical requirements, have a need to use exoskeletons, which can greatly improve work efficiency."

"In this case, capital is willing to pay for the introduction of new equipment - as long as you give them a strong reason."

Wang Jiancheng on the side nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:

“Wouldn’t this result in jobs being taken away from ordinary people?”

"Of course, technological progress comes at a price. However, progress cannot be stopped for this reason."

"If there are no jobs, go grab the land, grab the market, and create more jobs, instead of shrinking back and not daring to make progress."

"In that case, what's the difference between it and chronic death?"

"I understand, then I'll go talk to my instructor next week."

Chen Nian thought for a moment and did not answer immediately.

He originally wanted to say that otherwise he would go to Chen Guo himself and arrange it through the Civil Development Office.

But then I thought about it, among the three people here, I am not the only one who has access to the Office of Civil Development.

It should be said that Qiu Mai has already established a relationship through the previous mountain-moving project.

Just leave this kind of matter to her.

Sure enough, before he could speak, Qiu Mai beside him said:

"Let me solve it - I can find connections with the Civil Development Office through my mentor."

"This newly established department has very strong relations and great authority. Maybe they will be interested."

Chen Nian nodded with satisfaction and thought to himself:

Sure enough, they still have to let go. After all, they are all capable people. Sometimes, they should learn to solve problems by themselves.

"That's great!"

Wang Jiancheng said in surprise.

"If this project can be negotiated and mass-produced in the future, we will share the patent revenue equally!"

"No, the three of us can't share the seniors equally, you can take 40%!"

Wang Jiancheng's idea is very simple. In his opinion, Chen Nian did not actually receive much profit from the original Yujing 01 project, and he has never been very satisfied with it.

Now, if the exoskeleton project is successful, he should be given some compensation from here.

——

But what he didn't know was that what Chen Nian didn't care about the most was the so-called "monetary gain".

At this point, his concept of money has almost completely disappeared.

Apart from occasionally spending some money on eating out, Spark's logistics department can take care of everything else.

Money is no longer even a number to him.

Therefore, his attitude towards Wang Jiancheng's proposal was very indifferent.

"Just divide it between the two of you. I really don't need this thing."

"Ah? Yes, that's right. But I still want to share it with you. Whether you want it or not is one thing, and whether I give it to you or not is another matter. Sister Mai, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Qiu Mai answered immediately.

Seeing the two people's resolute attitude, Chen Nian said no more.

After all, he also knew that for Wang Jiancheng, doing this was also to make him feel at ease.

Only by giving this money can he truly become "clear-minded" in his future work.

The three of them chatted all the way to the campus. The cafeteria was still crowded, and they finally found an empty table. The three of them quickly sat down and occupied their seats.

International news was being played on the TV, and Chen Nian watched it with gusto.

——

Although he already knew most of the things, looking at it from another perspective, it was a different feeling.
