Chapter 393 The Sergeant Ready to Go
[UG1 Police Exoskeleton]
[Description: Enhanced strength, improved tolerance, enhanced flexibility, integration of communication and information systems, non-lethal Weapon integration, vital sign monitoring]
[Energy: FlexiGraph standard energy storage battery, can operate at full power for 24 hours after full charge]
This exoskeleton is a modification of a lightweight military exoskeleton version, in order to reduce the cost of the two production lines, most parts are of the same model.
The weapon system has been eliminated, and new armor plates made of energy-absorbing steel and graphene batteries have been added to the main protective parts, such as the back, chest and shoulders. The bulletproof and explosion-proof capabilities are quite good.
However, using this exoskeleton still requires a brain-computer interface for brain synchronization.
In the cyberpunk world, this is a dangerous thing, so the agreement on wearing exoskeletons clearly states that using this exoskeleton, law enforcement officers will bear a certain degree of risk, and the entire law enforcement process will be recorded and upload it to the public network.
And because this is a serious set of exoskeleton armor, its actual implementation will be met with many doubts.
In the New York City Council and within the municipal government, many members have raised questions and hope that voters will join them in expressing their dissatisfaction.
But.
An absolutely legal protest basically means that it is absolutely impossible to prevent the rulers from legally enacting a law.
So although there are internal doubts, they are basically all talk but no effort. The passage of the procurement bill did not even encounter many obstacles.
As for the current police chief George, he is a standard bureaucrat who believes in the system:
If Anthony is not the mayor and Leal is not a supporter of the mayor, even if someone tells him that you use This kind of armored law enforcement can arrest criminals and prevent casualties, but he doesn't know how to use it.
Once these conditions are met, he will even be the first to wear such a thing.
Click.
The last fastener is assembled, and the exoskeleton is locked from top to bottom along his spine.
The helmet is made of polycarbonate material with high transparency, which has good impact resistance and allows the wearer to show his face, reducing citizens’ fear of this equipment. It can also be equipped with a HUD. Make AR guidance.
"Wow." Sheriff Stacey slowly stood up and looked at his hands that were covered by exoskeletons.
It's amazing. According to the technical parameters, this thing weighs more than fifty kilograms, but I can't feel the weight at all.
Even
He looked at the 100kg barbell beside him.
The exoskeleton operates under the control of nerves and grabs the barbell directly——
Deadlifting a 100kg barbell with one hand is already the top physical fitness among humans. Can he lift it?
This tension caused George's brain to send corresponding instructions and transmitted them to the exoskeleton.
This sport requires strong strength, as well as excellent body coordination and balance. In the final analysis, such movements that exceed human limits no longer test one or two muscle groups.
Zi——
The motor is running, the joints are adjusted, and the fingers are tightly clasped on the horizontal bar
People on the side held their breath unconsciously: George Stacey is an amazing person Honorable Sheriff, but not a world class strongman.
Can he lift it?
The weak motor sound suddenly became sharper, which was somewhat obvious in the quiet hall where the drop of a needle could be heard——
“Ha——”
Click!
The floor was stepped on and cracks were created. Under the shocked eyes of everyone, the 100kg barbell was slowly lifted. Although it was not fast, it was quite stable!
"Thank you for your generous gift."
The barbell went above his head. George looked at the barbell in his hand with an incredulous expression, and then turned into a smile——
Bang!
The barbell was put down, and when it was about to hit the ground, it was released and hit the ground. The low sound proved that it was not a prop.
There was thunderous applause.
"Huh -" Sheriff Stacey shook his head, the movement was so smooth that he even forgot that he was still wearing an exoskeleton.
His daughter Gwen immediately came forward, tapping around her father as if checking whether the express was damaged.
Lille also applauded: "How do you feel?"
"I felt it was too exaggerated. I thought I was lifting a 20kg dumbbell."
The exoskeleton follows the centaur mecha from the cyberpunk world, which is the feedback logic of the linear frame.
The user needs to bear at least 10% of the weight, mainly to make the neurofeedback more sensitive. Lear increased the weight-bearing ratio of the police exoskeleton in order to reduce the gap caused by the driver taking off the exoskeleton.
In the future, the output may be limited to 80kg - after all, this is police equipment, not weightlifting equipment.
Gwen, who was stroking next to her, felt even more complicated:
Her dad became RoboCop!
"Is it necessary to use this kind of thing?" Gwen whispered.
"Of course it is necessary." Chief Stacey turned around and put away his helmet and visor. "If the police can carry all the equipment with them, they can deal with all situations."
Sometimes, accidental death occurs because the stun gun is not brought and the person nervously fires in the face of excited citizens.
Sometimes it is because you need to carry a gun, but you bring a non-lethal stun gun.
Law enforcement is a complicated job, especially when the police don’t know whether the other person will pull out a gun from his crotch.
Although the police will tell the officers what equipment is best to bring according to the situation of the call, it is always not as convenient as carrying everything with you.
Mayor Anthony on the side smiled happily: "These equipment should be of great help in firefighting and other situations."
"Indeed." Chief Stacey nodded, "You can even say It’s more helpful.”
The NYPD, including informal employees, has a total of just over 50,000 people. Calculated based on an armed rate of 10%, only 5,000 units have been sold.
The price of each exoskeleton is only US$30,000.
The bigger expenses are vehicle and special equipment replacements.
The NYPD has a total of 9,000 police cars and 120 motorcycles. If two-thirds of the cars are replaced, the number will be 6,000. Calculated based on the average price of each car of 80,000 US dollars.
Suddenly again Make a fortune.
If we can bring in the fire fighters, we can make another fortune.
This money is not small money for the municipal government, but the sales of the products will benefit the workers and enterprises on the entire production line.
It’s not that there’s no resistance, but the driving force is also very strong, and everyone is just trying to make ends meet.
Lille also plans to continue to let Hammond and Martin promote this model in other cities -
At the time when the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, everyone thought that it would be possible to delay the implementation for a while. New technology happens to be a good direction to drag down.
Calculate the time, because of Roxon Energy's mess, Detroit's bankruptcy is expected to be earlier.
The next thing is the time to test your eloquence: after all, the oil monopoly advocated by Roxon is also a It's a very tempting direction. As long as they spread the money transferred from the monopoly appropriately, some people will naturally think that helping Roxon monopolize energy will make their lives better.
After the preparations are completed, all that remains is the time to train the troops.
Anthony was brewing emotions and planned to issue new tasks to the police officers in the police station. It happened that the detective beside him received a call:
"Hello, this is the New York City Police Department. Mr. Stone, do you have any questions? "
".Slow down, you said they were blocking your door. Okay, I understand."
Chief Stacey, who had just tried on the exoskeleton, was worried about where to go. He looked at his men:
"Who?"
"Wash Stone, whose mother was my informant in Hell's Kitchen, called me to tell me that the property management company in their neighborhood had blocked their door."< br>
The policemen in the police station all smiled knowingly.
Although they didn't know that Anthony planned to come over and speak about some administrative decrees.
But they know that their director definitely wants to go out for a walk now.
Sure enough, Chief Stacey said: "What cases has he helped you investigate? Let me take a look."
"It's a pretty long case." The man pushed away the notebook on the table, picked up the microphone, and said "Change the 'Hell's Kitchen Serial Murder Case'.
This happened more than half a year ago. Someone used a steel stick to kill people there. However, the man suspected of being the murderer was hit and killed by a truck, and has never been found. The instigator behind the scenes.”
Liel and Anthony looked at each other silently:
They also contributed transcripts to this case.
