To the Gantz Suit
The analysis and testing of the Suit lasted for two days.
Two days later, Gantz
The structure and performance of the Gantz Suit were finally revealed to the public.
"Mr. Chen Chen, let me explain it to you."
At this time, Passadin stood on the stage and turned on the projector and the screen. "We've disassembled most of this unknown bulletproof suit and the results we obtained are truly astonishing."
Passadin looked at the tattered Gantz Suit beside him.
Then, he used the projector to show a screenshot of the cross-section. "We've used many cuts and finally cut out a relatively smooth cross-section. This is what the first layer of the cross-section looks like after being magnified 1000 times —"
Chen Chen looked up and saw countless fine black silk threads appearing on the screen. These silk threads were intertwined and weaved together, finally forming the shape of a cloth.
"Do you understand now? This is a material woven out of nanowires. The reason we can't see any traces of weaving is because the threads used to weave it are too thin. We've measured it and found that its diameter is only 100 nanometers, which is one five-hundredth of a strand of hair. "
"What material is this nanowire made out of, is it possible to replicate it?" Chen Chen could not help asking.
"We've measured it and found that it's a type of carbon fiber. Moreover, it's a high-performance carbon fiber that has been specially processed."
Passadin explained, "Carbon fiber is the fiber material with the highest known strength in the world. It has excellent modulus and impact resistance and can withstand high temperatures of 1300 degrees Celsius without being damaged. However, I'm afraid it's difficult to make carbon fiber this thin with ordinary technology."
"This is only the first layer." Pitken added, "Although the entire combat suit is less than 5 millimeters thick, there are five layers of structure inside."
"That's right, the second layer is a layer of similarly finely woven ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber. This is a type of fiber whose strength is second only to carbon fiber, but it's much softer and tougher."
Passadin continued to explain, "Then, the third layer, which is the middle layer, is the liquid layer you mentioned. We'll call it 'liquid armor' for now.
"After testing, we found that the liquid armor's bulletproof performance is several times better than the shear thickening fluid on the market. After being hit by the impact of a huge kinetic energy, it will instantly disperse the energy in the form of transmission. At the same time, it will quickly change from liquid to solid, and it is extremely tough."
"In addition, we found that the liquid armor only needs a weak electric current to quickly change its form. We also found a large number of electrode patches in this bulletproof vest, as well as an electronic spine hidden on the back. It seems that they can control these liquids by receiving electrical signals from the human nerves, thereby enhancing the user's physical fitness."
"Unfortunately, the equipment in the lab was unable to determine the specific composition of the liquid armor." Passadin was a little disappointed.
"It's okay. Let's talk about something else."
Chen Chen did not mind. After all, this was something from the movie. According to the original novel, this was all alien technology that was later gifted to the Earth's government. It was normal that it could not be analyzed with real technology.
"Alright."
Passadin continued, "Next up is the fourth layer of the bulletproof vest. This layer is made of carbon fiber, and its basic function is to insulate against heat and strengthen impact resistance. As for the innermost layer, it's the inner lining, which absorbs sweat and keeps the wearer warm, making them more comfortable. A large number of electrode chips are installed on it, and the terminals of these electrode chips are located in the electronic spine on the back of the vest."
"But the problem of the electronic spine is beyond our expertise. If you want to know more, I'm afraid you'll need a talent in electronics," Passadin explained.
In other words, to crack Gantz.
The biometric authentication limitations of the suit still needed to be resolved through the electronic spine …
Chen Chen nodded and thought to himself.
Passadin took a sip of water and continued, "Do you see these button-like devices on the clothes? We discovered that these button-like circular structures are actually life-saving devices."
"Why do you say that? That's because when this bulletproof vest is worn, the wearer can withstand a certain amount of kinetic energy attacks at most. If the attack exceeds the range that the human body can withstand, the wearer will be flattened by the tremendous pressure.
"That's why these button-like devices on the limbs and neck were invented. If the bulletproof vest is attacked beyond the range that it can withstand, the piston of the button will be forced open by the pressure and the liquid will be discharged. This allows the wearer to survive the attack that exceeds the range that they can withstand.
"Of course, this is the only chance."
Passadin added.
"In short, this bulletproof vest can withstand up to 1000 to 1500J bullets, which is to say, it can withstand handguns and mid-range rifles. It's similar to the defense of modern advanced bulletproof vests, but it's more flexible and portable, and has a wider defensive area.
"In addition, this bulletproof vest also has excellent defense against sharp and blunt weapons. This is the full analysis of this bulletproof vest."
Passadin exhaled and nodded at Chen Chen. "I wonder if Mr. Chen is satisfied with the analysis of the three of us?"
"Very satisfied, thank you."
Chen Chen applauded. "The three of you have worked hard over the past two days. The ten thousand USD will be transferred to your accounts very soon. However, I ask that you keep this test a secret. I don't want to hear about the existence of this bulletproof vest in the future."
"Of course." Pitken nodded. "Since we've signed a confidentiality agreement, we'll abide by it."
The other two nodded as well.
After that, Chen Chen watched as the three of them packed up all the test equipment, erased all traces, and put away the Gantz Suit fragment.
The fragment of the suit then said, "Alright, to commemorate our cooperation this time, why don't we take a photo together?"
"Group photo?" The three of them approached Chen Chen and looked at each other.
"Yes, a group photo." Chen Chen nodded, then put on a pair of sunglasses, took out a metallic instrument, and showed it to them.
"Uh..."
Passadin was dumbfounded when he saw the instrument that suddenly appeared in Chen Chen's hand. "Wait, I think I've seen this thing before, isn't this the Black..."
"Click!"
There was a flash of white light and the expressions of the three of them turned from puzzled to stunned.
"Thank you for your work over the past two days. I'm very satisfied with your analysis of the fossils I presented."
With that, he took out a strangely-shaped stone from his pocket and waved it in front of the three of them.
It was not until Chen Chen had left the laboratory that the three of them slowly came back to their senses...
...
"Boss, Cheng Cao and I didn't have time to put on our sunglasses..."
After walking out of the laboratory, Qian Wenhuan suddenly turned pale and quickly explained, "It's not a big deal that my memory was erased, but I'm afraid that it'll affect your important matter, Boss..."
Chen Chen shook his head and did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Don't worry, the radiation decreases according to distance. As long as you don't stand directly in front of the instrument, the amount of radiation you receive is negligible."
"Then why are you wearing sunglasses?"
"Life has to have a sense of ritual, don't you think?"
