Chapter 466 Lightweight Composite Armor

Luo Xi didn’t know when Wei Si would escape from the ‘immortal trap’.

It could go on for hundreds of hours.

It is also possible that Wei Si will return in the next second.

Luo Xi will not be affected by this unknown threat, he still proceeds according to his plan.

He found a maintenance bay.

From some nameplates and notes posted on the wall, it can be seen that this is the place used by maintenance engineers, where they can find the corresponding tools and parts, as well as the corresponding engineering drawings.

Engineering drawings are divided into two forms.

One is in electronic form, and the other is in the most original paper form.

I guess the reason some paper morphological drawings are kept is that they are used in extreme situations.

Luo Xi found some tools here, various types of screwdrivers, some miniature soldering machines with preset workflows, various accessories, including some integrated circuit boards.
Just like the “electric screwdriver” in his hand, it is an electric tool designed specifically for weightless environments. It contains integrated circuits, motors and thermal control systems. It can be operated with one hand and prevents parts from flying around and becoming space junk.

Another example is the magnetic mechanical claw, which is used to grab loose screws or small parts in a weightless environment to prevent them from floating away, and is equipped with a telescopic rod to adapt to narrow spaces.

However, in Luo Xi’s opinion, the most useful thing is the multi-function welding gun, which supports rapid welding and cutting in a vacuum environment.

This thing can be used as a weapon at critical moments.

As for the drawings, Luo Xi just flipped through them casually, but when he saw a certain drawing, he paused, frowned, and looked at it carefully.

Because this blueprint is exactly for the powered exoskeleton space suit he is wearing, including the structure and densely packed technical parameters. If you are not a professional, it would be like reading a book of incomprehensible origin.

But Luo Xi looked very carefully.

He could understand it and even began to understand the details.

Because he discovered that what he was wearing was not an ordinary space suit. Its real name is “lightweight composite armor”. The material is a mixture of carbon fiber and titanium alloy to form a skeleton, and the outer layer is covered with a self-healing nano-ceramic coating. It has a modular design, and key components (such as knee pads and shoulder armor) are detachable and replaceable to meet different mission requirements.

This thing also has bionic joints and smart bearings, nano-repair gel jets at the wrists to quickly repair damage to the extravehicular suit, and even a nuclear/solar dual-mode power module.

In addition, it is equipped with a brain-computer interface, which can synchronize the space suit’s movements with the wearer’s intentions through scalp electrodes or implanted chips, reducing operational delays.

Built-in AI assistant voice assistant, which can analyze environmental risks, plan maintenance routes, and automatically adjust the strength of the exoskeleton, using the Pathfinder exoskeleton AI algorithm version 2.
“adjutant!”

Luo Xi said something according to the voice assistant’s wake-up words.

He got a response immediately.

“Hello, I am Lieutenant NP-4677. You can interact with me via voice.”

Along with the sound, a visual projection appeared in front of my eyes, and I could see a light flashing, which should represent the ‘adjutant’.

Luo Xi immediately asked the other party a few questions.

For example, is it possible to monitor the location of other people on the spacecraft, or where the spacecraft’s main control room is?

However, the AI ​​lieutenants refused to answer, citing insufficient authority.

“Where does the authority come from?” Luo Xi continued to ask.

“Biological information binding, or digital life key code”

Luo Xi knew that his body was “printed”, so the biological information would definitely not be able to find the corresponding permissions.

“Scan the digital life form key!”

“Okay, I’ll remind you that the digital life form scanning process involves certain uncontrollable risks and may cause some confusion and pain. Please confirm whether to proceed with the scan?”

“Sure!”

“Okay, I’ll scan you right away!” The next moment, the scalp electrodes built into the helmet emitted light, and Luo Xi immediately felt dizzy, followed by a tingling pain.

It was like being hit by an electric current.

Fortunately, this level of pain was completely negligible for him.

After a few seconds, the scan is complete.

Some information was displayed on the holographic projection.

“Your identity has been recognized, Engineer Luo Yingran.”

To some extent, Luo Xi knew that what he saw in the diary should be true.

Because the actual situation is consistent with what the owner of the diary described.

In other words, he, Luo Xi, was a “second creation” of the digital life form named Luo Yingran, a person who did not exist at all.

Luo Xi does not exist.

I am just a tool.

But Luo Xi didn’t care about this at all.

It seems that Luo Yingran did not change the identification code when he modified the digital life form, otherwise it would not have been recognized.

Luo Xi repeated the previous two requests.

“Life detection requires an Internet connection. The ship’s network cannot be connected at the moment. Error code NW2405. The location of the spacecraft’s main control room is calling the built-in old version of the map. Do you want to start planning the route?”

“Plan a route.”

Luo Xi confirmed the order.

A green route map immediately appeared in the holographic projection of the mask, with twists and turns. It seemed that what he had said before, that the interior of the spacecraft was like a maze, was true.

“Turn on autopilot mode.”

Luo Xi simply handed everything over to the AI ​​assistant while he was looking at the map.

However, the composite armor had only carried him for a dozen meters when Luo Xi stopped it.

Because he suddenly realized a problem.

“This place is nearly 2 kilometers away from the main control room. The maximum speed supported by the composite armor’s exoskeleton power mode is 15 kilometers per hour, so it will take only 8 minutes to get there. Luo Yingran’s backup plan is to use the old version of the V3 system to replace the V4 that has developed self-awareness and betrayed humans, but this is dangerous. At least in my opinion, if it is the Dimension , it is impossible for it not to have thought of this loophole.”

What Luo Xi was thinking about at this moment was the feasibility and success rate of Luo Yingran’s backup plan.

Although, in a sense, he himself is Luo Yingran, Luo Xi still has doubts about this plan.

It’s not that I doubt that my former human self had any other plans, but this plan itself is too easy to predict, interfere with, or even mislead.

Based on Luo Xi’s understanding of Wei Si, it is unlikely that the other party would not calculate the weakness and loophole of replacing the system version.

In other words, Luo Xi could be 100% sure that Wei Si must have made some corrections in this regard, and even had set a trap in the main control room.

This possibility is extremely high.

In addition, Luo Xi was not sure whether the diary had been discovered and read by Wei Si.

It’s not that Luo Xi is suspicious, it’s just his personality.

In everything, we always take the worst-case scenario as the starting point for consideration and solution.

This has become his habit.
