<h4>Chapter 87: Gantz Suit Analysis</h4>
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The analysis experiment on the Gantz Suit went on for two days.
After two days, theponents and features of the Gantz Suit were finally revealed.
“Mr. Chen Chen, allow me to exin it to you.”
Passadin stood on the stage and turned on the projector as well as the curtain. “We’re at the final stages of the analysis on this never seen before body armor. The results we obtained are extremely fascinating.”
Passadin took a nce at the Gantz Suit tattered beyond recognition as he cast a picture with the projector. “After countless dissections, we finally managed to extract a smoother section of the material. This is what the firstyer of the cross-section looks like after being magnified a thousand times —”
Chen Chen raised his head and saw countless densely weaved together ck threads on the screen. They formed a clothed shaped pattern after being weaved together.
“Do you see it? This material was woven from nanowires. The reason we couldn’t notice traces of the weaving pattern is that the thread is far too thin. We’ve measured its diameter at 100 nanometers, which is one-fifth of the diameter of a regr strand of hair.”
“What material are these nanowires formed from and is it possible to manufacture them?” Chen Chen asked.
“After running our tests, we’ve discovered that it belongs to a ss of carbon fiber. It’s a high-performance carbon fiber processed with specialized technology. ”
Passadin exined, “Carbon fiber is the toughest known fiber material in the world. It possesses excellent modulus performance and impact resistance and can withstand temperature up to 1300 degrees Celsius without being damaged. However, you may find it extremely difficult to achieve such thinness using ordinary technique.”
“And this is only the firstyer.” Pitken added. “Even though the entirebat suit is no more than 5 millimeters thick, there are five measuredyers within it.”
“That’s right. The secondyer is made of ayer of ultra-high molecr weight polyethylene fiber that’s also woven together delicately. Its strength is second only to carbon fiber, but it’s of a softer quality.”
Passadin exined, “The thirdyer, which is the middleyer, consists of the liquid-formyer you mentioned. We’ve settled on the terminology ‘liquid armor’ for now.
“After running our experiments, we found that the bulletproofing qualities of the liquid armor are several times more superior to that of the shear thickening fluidsmonly used in the industry. Upon sustaining impact from a significant amount of kic energy, it instantly dispersed the energy absorbed in the form of transmission. All at the same time, it transmutes from a liquid form to a solid form which grants the material extreme sturdiness.”
“Apart from that, we’ve noticed that the liquid armor undergoes a drastic change of form upon receiving mild electric currents. We also found arge number of electrode patches in the armor along with an electrical spine hidden in the back. It appears that it can control the liquid using the electrical signals originating from the human nerves. This way, it was able to strengthen the user’s physical capabilities.
“Unfortunately, the equipment in thisboratory was not able to deduct the specificposition of this liquid armor.” Passadin expressed with a hint of remorse.
“It’s alright, tell me about the rest.”
Chen Chen was not bothered by that, considering that this was an equipment extracted from a movie. ording to the plot, these were originally alien technology that was gifted to the governmental bodies on Earth. It was no surprise that it could not be wholly analyzed using present technology.
“Alright.”
Passadin continued. “Moving on to the fourthyer of the body armor now. This is also ayer consisting of carbon fiber which is incorporated to strengthen heat and impact resistance. The innermostyer is the inner lining which serves the purpose of absorbing sweat, providing afier overall experience for the wearer. There’s also arge number of electrode chips attached which links to the electrical spine located at the back of the armor.
“Regarding the electrical spine, I’m afraid it’s beyond our field of ??expertise. If you want to know more about it, you may need to refer to experts in electronic systems,” Passadin informed.
This meant that the key to solving the issue with the biometric authentication restriction of the Gantz Suity in the electrical spine...
Chen Chen nodded and pondered silently.
Passadin took a sip of water before exining further, “Do you see these button-like devices on the jacket? We noticed that these circr devices shaped like buttons are a safety measure design.”
“What makes us say so? Because after putting on this suit of body armor, the average person could only withstand a certain amount of kic impact. If the kic impact surpasses the threshold which the human body could withstand, the wearer will be crushed by the sheer amount of pressure.
“This brings us to these buttoned designs located on the limbs and neck. Upon absorbing a certain amount of impact which surpasses the before-mentioned threshold, the pistons in these buttons will discharge an amount of liquid based on the pressure. This makes it so that the user can survive in such a scenario where the impact sustained is greater than which the human body can handle.
“Naturally, this failsafe feature only works once.”
Passadin added.
“Simply put, this body armor can withstand bullet-force impact up to 1000 to 1500 Joules, which is around the range of pistols and mid-range rifles. Its defensive rating is close to that of a modern high-end body armor but it allows the wearer to be more mobile along with arger surface area of protection.
“In addition, this body armor performs excellently against forms of sharp and blunt weapons. And that’s the full detailed analysis of the body armor.”
Passadin released a drawn-out breath and nodded at Chen Chen’s direction. “I hope Mr. Chen is satisfied with our analysis?”
“Very satisfied, thank you all.”
Chen Chen apuded. “Thank you for your hard work over thest two days. As promised, the ten thousand U.S. Dors will be transferred to your respective bank ounts shortly. I hope that you’ll honor the agreement and keep this experiment a secret. I don’t want to hear a word of anyone else learning about the existence of this body armor.”
“Of course.” Pitken nodded. “Since we’ve signed the non-disclosure agreement, we’ll naturally abide by the contract.”
The other two nodded in agreement.
After Chen Chen waited for the three of them to pack up the devices and erase all traces of the experiment, he collected the tattered remnants of the Gantz Suit and announced, “Alright, why don’t we take a group picture tomemorate our coboration.”
“Group picture?” the three of them came before Chen Chen and looked at each other quizzingly.
“Yes, a group picture.” Chen Chen responded with a nod. He put on a pair of sunsses before revealing a metallic device before them.
“Uh...”
Passadin noted with mild amusement when he noticed the device Chen Chen held in his hand. “Hold on, I’ve seen this thing before. Isn’t this the one from Men in...”
“Click!”
A burst of white light. Their expressions quickly changed from one of confusion to a dazed look hanging on their faces.
“I’d like to thank the three of you for your work in the past two days. I’m very satisfied with your detailed analysis of the fossils I presented.”
When Chen Chen finished, he took a strangely shaped rock from his pocket and waved it in front of them.
The three of them gradually regained their sense as Chen Chen walked out of theboratory...
...
“Boss, Cheng Cao and I barely had time to put on our sunsses just now...”
Upon walking out of theboratory, Qian Wenhuan went pale as he quickly exined, “I don’t really mind having my memory erased, what I’m worried about is what if something were to happen to you, Boss...”
Chen Chen shook his head and did not know whether he shouldugh or cry at that remark. “Don’t worry about it. The strength of the radiation is inversely proportional to the distance from the source. As long as you’re not standing directly in front of the device, the amount of radiation received is negligible.”
“Why would you still need sunsses then?”
“Always can use some little ritual to spice life up a bit, don’t you agree?”
“...”
