Incredible Insight: Toy Factory Discovers Swarm Drones

Chapter 340 Come out, Individual Firefighter ExoskeletonThese ants were old friends; Li Jiajun had experienced an epiphany through them before.

And at this moment.

The livestream’s image shook violently a few times as Li Jiajun moved.

The thousands of die-hard fans waiting in front of their screens felt their vision blur for a moment.

When the camera stabilized again, what they saw was no longer the familiar director’s office, but a rough concrete floor magnified countless times.

On the ground, a black ant smaller than a fingernail was using its slender mandibles to hold high a pale yellow crumb that looked quite heavy.

The volume of this crumb was dozens of times larger than the ant’s body, looking like a moving hill.

However, the ant carried this ”hill” on its back, moving its six long, thin legs as if flying, its movements showing no sign of sluggishness.

The die-hard fans in the livestream were a bit dazed seeing this scene.

A series of question marks instantly drifted across the bullet chat.

“??? What is the Main Streamer doing? Why did he suddenly start filming ants?”

“I just got here. What’s going on? Weren’t we supposed to be researching firefighting equipment? Why did it switch to Animal World?”

“Could it be that the Director wants to research how to use ants to put out fires?”

“The guy above has a wild imagination! Having ants carry water droplets to a fire? How many ants would you even need for that!”

“Stop it, the Main Streamer definitely has his own ideas. Let’s just watch quietly.”

...

Li Jiajun naturally saw these discussions in the bullet chat, but he ignored them.

At this moment, his entire focus was deeply captivated by the immense power, defying physical common sense, displayed by this tiny life form before him.

Squatting on the ground, he moved the camera closer, allowing every detail of the ant to be clearly presented to all the viewers.

Then, speaking into the microphone with a passionate tone as if discovering a new continent, he began a serious explanation:

“family, look at this ant.”

“Aren’t you curious? Why can they lift things over fifty times their own body weight?”

Li Jiajun’s voice carried a hint of persuasive power, instantly grabbing the attention of the military-noob die-hard fans in the livestream.

Without waiting for the bullet chat to respond, he revealed the answer himself:

“Because they possess a perfect exoskeleton structure!”

He extended a finger, tapping the air as if touching an invisible model.

“Muscles are attached to the inner side of their hard shells, which can generate a terrifying leverage ratio! This is the most efficient mechanical structure!”

As he spoke, Li Jiajun’s voice gradually grew quieter.

His eyes began to turn hollow, his pupils losing focus, as if he had entered a mystical state of self-forgetfulness.

The die-hard fans in the livestream held their breath as they watched the Director’s dazed appearance on the screen.

They knew this was the precursor to the Director entering a state of epiphany.

“Exoskeleton... leverage ratio...”

Li Jiajun began to mutter to himself, his voice so soft it was almost inaudible, yet through the high-fidelity microphone, it reached everyone’s ears clearly.

“If... if this kind of exoskeleton were scaled up to human size...”

“Using high-torque motors and hydraulic transmission systems to simulate an ant’s muscle groups...”

“Then using ultra-light, high-strength materials to build a load-bearing frame...”

His speaking speed increased, and technical terms so specialized that the die-hard fans couldn’t understand them poured out of his mouth like rapid fire.

“Transmitting the human body’s weight directly to the ground through this frame, while the human body itself only needs to exert minimal force to control the frame’s movement...”

“Wouldn’t the dozens of kilograms of equipment carried by firefighters essentially become weightless?”

“They would only need to wear this equipment to move like the wind in a fire scene!”

At the moment his deduction reached this point.

“Ding!”

A crisp, melodious notification sound, like heavenly music, suddenly rang deep in his mind.

[By observing the mechanical principles of ants carrying heavy objects and combining them with ergonomics and modern mechanical transmission theory, you have instantly grasped the core mysteries of an individual load-bearing exoskeleton (for firefighters)! You have realized the [Bionic Arthropod-Powered Firefighting Exoskeleton Technology]!]

A torrent of knowledge regarding mechanical structures, hydraulic transmission, neuronal signal sensing, and energy distribution flooded into his brain like a bursting dam.

The next second.

Li Jiajun’s previously hollow eyes instantly regained their luster, bursting with a terrifyingly sharp light.

He suddenly jumped up from the ground!

The movement was so fast it startled the livestream viewers.

“That’s it! This is it!”

He shouted excitedly, then rushed like a gust of wind to the massive whiteboard in the corner of the office.

He grabbed a black marker from the desk, pulled off the cap, and without a word, began to draw frantically on the smooth whiteboard.

“Scribble, scribble, scribble...”

The tip of the marker rubbed rapidly against the whiteboard, producing a series of hurried and powerful sounds.

The thousands of die-hard fans in the livestream all stared blankly at the screen.

They saw that with the rapid movement of Li Jiajun’s arm, precise and smooth lines continuously extended and intersected on the whiteboard.

Soon, a complex and precise mechanical outline began to take shape.

It was a complete humanoid exoskeleton.

From the legs covered in alloy armor, to the waist connected by countless hydraulic transmission rods, to the back-mounted platform filled with fine wiring and energy interfaces.

Every joint and every connection was filled with a cold metallic texture and unabashed violent aesthetics.

The entire set of equipment looked like a heavy individual mecha suit straight out of a futuristic sci-fi movie, exuding an oppressive aura that made one’s skin crawl.

...

While Li Jiajun was immersed in the frenzy of creation.

Inside an ordinary rental room in a city in the Eastern Country.

A young man wearing a tank top with a buzz cut was staring intently at his computer screen.

He was one of Li Jiajun’s thousands of die-hard fans.

At this moment, looking at the mechanical skeleton being drawn bit by bit by Li Jiajun on the livestream—which looked like the standard equipment of a futuristic interstellar soldier no matter how one looked at it—he was completely dumbfounded.

His mouth opened wider and wider, his eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

He felt like he was having trouble breathing.

“This... this...”

He pointed at the screen, his fingers trembling slightly.

The next second.

He slammed his hand down on his somewhat worn-out computer desk.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, the instant noodle cup on the desk jumped.

The young man sprang up from his chair and let out an earth-shattering cry:

“Holy crap! Holy crap!”

This exclamation was filled with extreme shock and disbelief.

On the wall behind him were several game posters depicting futuristic soldiers wearing similar power armor.

“Holy crap, this firefighting equipment is way too cool!”

As soon as this bullet chat appeared, it was like throwing another bomb into the already lively livestream.

Other Netizens who had also been shocked by the exoskeleton’s design saw this bullet chat and were speechless.

Someone immediately posted a comment: “Bro, you’re making such a fuss, I thought you’d actually figured something out.”

Seeing the retort, the die-hard fan replied righteously, “What’s there to figure out? Little Director Li is making firefighting equipment to begin with.”

This reply instantly made the atmosphere in the livestream harmonious.

After reading it, other Netizens also reacted, feeling that he made a lot of sense.

“You’re not wrong. It’s just a firefighting thing; how much technical content could it really have?”

“True, the Director is making a civilian product this time. As long as it’s cool, that’s all that matters!”

“This design is amazing! If firefighters wear this to fight fires in the future, the sense of security will be maxed out!”

“Support the Main Streamer! This is a good design that truly considers the firefighters!”

“This firefighting suit is too handsome! When’s the link coming? I want to buy a set to keep at home as a guardian!”

...

Looking at the screen full of bullet chat praising the “firefighting suit.”

Li Jiajun, who had just finished the last stroke and was admiring his masterpiece, nodded with satisfaction.

Not bad, not bad.

It seemed the Netizens highly approved of his new design.

It seemed that this time, he had truly taken the right path.

This thought surfaced in his mind.
