Song Pinxuan already had a plan for the personalized mechanical exoskeleton.
Since it would be tailor-made for Tang Li’s body dimensions, there would be no separate base frame or individual components; a one-piece mechanical exoskeleton would be directly manufactured.
Tang Li’s powerful mental strength meant that even with many additional components installed, she could handle a simple mechanical exoskeleton and utilize it with flexibility.
Therefore, Song Pinxuan would equip Tang Li’s personalized mechanical exoskeleton with various sensors, allowing her to receive sufficiently detailed feedback.
“I will specially craft a mechanical arm, mechanical legs, and a brain-computer interface for you. Their performance will definitely be better than the market’s current five-million-point mechanical arms and three-million-point mechanical legs!”
“However, I won’t directly integrate additional components like flight modules onto it.”
“I will leave an interface on the back of your mechanical exoskeleton. If you need to fly, you can temporarily attach a specially designed flight module.”
“For other areas such as the arms, back of the hands, shoulders, and feet, I will also leave corresponding interfaces, allowing for the attachment of other components whenever needed in the future.”
Song Pinxuan took out a draft design of a one-piece mechanical exoskeleton he had previously created and showed it to Tang Li as he explained.
Tang Li looked at the drawing, which displayed a design sketch of a mechanical exoskeleton spread out in an ‘X’ shape.
Each component and part was meticulously disassembled and labeled on the drawing.
In the subsequent drawings, Tang Li also saw various complementary machines that Song Pinxuan envisioned attaching to the reserved interfaces of the mechanical exoskeleton.
For example: a flight module attached to the back, two-wheeled, three-wheeled, four-wheeled, and tracked bases, or even a hovercraft base attached to the legs or feet; antennas attached to the head; miniature radars attached to the shoulders; and on the arms…
“Oh! This is designed for a military mechanical exoskeleton.”
Although Song Pinxuan quickly flipped past it, Tang Li still saw what appeared to be a gun-like weapon attached to the arm on that drawing!
Furthermore, the position of that weapon made it impossible to pull a trigger with a hand. Clearly, that weapon was also controlled by thought!
Although Tang Li couldn’t use it yet, she knew that in a little over a month, the authorities would lift the weapons ban, and then she would be able to use it. The various complementary machines that could be attached to the mechanical exoskeleton also greatly pleased Tang Li.
She asked, “Are these items also free?”
Song Pinxuan was taken aback by her question.
“You can choose three of them, and I’ll include them as a gift.”
Tang Li hadn’t expected to receive these components for free, so hearing Song Pinxuan say this was a pleasant surprise.
She smiled and said, “Thank you, Team Leader Song!”
Song Pinxuan was momentarily lost in thought as he looked at Tang Li’s smile.
Looking at her bright and vibrant face, and then thinking of the pale face in his dreams, Song Pinxuan felt a pang in his heart, and his eyes involuntarily showed a look of concern.
Although it was only for a moment, Tang Li noticed it.
“He’s worried about me? Why?”
“Is it because of my past life?”
“Was I too pitiful when I died, so he feels sorry for me, or did something happen after my death?”
Her thoughts swirled, but she didn’t show it on her face.
However, Tang Li had confirmed one thing – Song Pinxuan bore no ill will towards her.
Because she was attractive, Tang Li had encountered many people in the apocalypse who coveted her beauty and had ulterior motives towards her over the years.
Therefore, Tang Li was very sensitive to people’s gazes.
She could easily distinguish whether someone’s gaze towards her was benevolent or malicious.
After reviewing the design drafts, Song Pinxuan proceeded to measure Tang Li’s body dimensions.
Tang Li stood before an instrument and assumed the same ‘X’ pose as in the drawing. This was also the posture for wearing the one-piece mechanical exoskeleton.
Soon, three lasers from the instrument measured Tang Li’s body dimensions from top to bottom, left to right, and front to back.
After obtaining the overall data, Song Pinxuan measured the dimensions of her various joints.
The elbow joint, knee joint, wrist, ankle… even the dimensions, bending direction, and angle of every finger joint had to be measured and recorded one by one.
Once worn, this one-piece mechanical exoskeleton would fit perfectly onto its specialized protective suit.
Therefore, every single data point could not be mistaken.
After the measurements were completed, Tang Li left the research institute.
It would take one month to build this one-piece mechanical exoskeleton.
Song Pinxuan asked Tang Li to come to the institute to collect it on May 21st.
