Mostly exposition and time passing for this chapter it seems.
Modern artillery shells are perfectly one-man portable. I mean, the average 155mm artillery shell only weighs 95 pounds or so. But wearing a powered exoskeleton that turns a 100 pound load into something that feels more like an oversized MRE... Yeah. I could see the average cannon cocker signing off on that.
Looks like the Griffins are finding out the first rule with kids. If they aint stood there at the most embarrasing moment, its because theyre listening. Even with the cultists gone, the old site is a massive trap array, and thats even if the local diety doenst Indiana them on defilement?
If the French farmhouse is an old one, wouldnt it have shutters on the outside and inside of the windows (Wind Doors?) and so be able to have haybale or some other packing material placed between to improve things a little, or the Wi/endigoes are far more metaphysical, vampiric?
Starswirl making a local short range teleporter next to Carnac, sort of reminds me of those displays where people stand under Pylon/Transmission Towers with 6 foot flourescent tubes that light up just due to the local field strength. And thats even with the Dolmen array crippled. Standing Wave Ratio due to mismatched output stage, antenna can literally burn an output stage if the antenna is damaged to missing, depending on power capability and power used. Its enough to make a Magus SWR.
Pretty much forgot about the HPI, stuck undergorund, behind their shield, only being able to research what they have without massive resources prior globally. It was suprising to see just how small teh 5nm Fab machine was, $10 Million? Fits in a shipping container? But then requires the Room, building, support and ancillary equipment, power, Boules, unless they switch to using mass spectrograph generated pure silicon ions thin film deposition on graphene or similar nanometers/micron thin substrate, saving them the need of a whole zone refinery etc and give them pretty much all the material they require from plasma arc vapourised rock?
Just thinking, Modular exoframes are good, but theyre still stuck with Boston Dynamics power hungry systems. Trick with pneumatics is depending on design, can be stored compacted and have various levels opf pressure, and the right layout means as a frame it can be self standing, using physics for its stability than constantly burning power. A combination of pneumatics and hydraulics can really improve capability, efficincy, as long as speed of propagation through the various fluids and materials is taken into account, when designing and implementing the predictive reaction modeling control systems. A rough guess is that if conciious thought integrates over 600 milliseconds, and Bruce Lee could react in less than 100 milliseconds, then he was constantly reacting to what the world would be doing in 6 moves time.
Havent been able to find the old DARPA articles, theres a lot of search filtering going on about the terms used and people complaining about their meanings, but the three things I find are, Palladium fuel cells, air and alcohol, methanol to make electricity and water, methanol likes to corrode steel and is toxic. Thorium Molten Salt. Can be extremely compact, not sure about the neutron and gamma outputs that require mass shielding, just that the first one was trialed at Oak Ridge in the 1940s? And scrapped because it was too inefficient at making fuel usuable in nuclear warheads, its kept burning it to produce power? the last, using Palladium, is the Ponds Fleichman Aneutric reaction discovered in the 1980s. Hydrogen consumption increases linearly with electrical current applied. Power out is a ratio of power in, greater than 1. Three helium are emmited for each hydrogen used. The maximum production rate scales as a fraction of the amount of boron contamination in the palladium. No boron in pure research samples, no reaction. At least according to published DARPA research. Then again, they were also working on a compact 1 Megawatt colliding beam reactor. Compact, in that the curves were formed by permanent magnets. and one variation might just fit in a shipping container.
The trick with cold fusion, is that people demand fusion has to throw neutrons out. fusion is when you take two small bits and end up sticking them together to make a larger bit.
Its like the Met Office saying that a weather system ceases to be a hurricane when is center passes over the limits of the tropics. If youre a mile outside the Tropics, you are still going to get trashed. I thought Hurricanes were powered by the temperature difference between sea surface and upper atmosphere. What happens if the upper atmosphere cools to keep the gradient going that much further outside the tropics with freak solar storms etc?

Be a shame not to make use of all that power then, isn't it?
Well... at least I can say they shouldn't just be limited to Boston Dynamics tech. Since for one, they were supposed to have worldwide connections beforehand, and for second, the sailors delivered them prototypes from the French facility in Savannah. French military tech is always rather funky, and exoskeletons are a thing they've been openly researching in real life.
Most likely to improve the dog-shit FELIN system they never should have deployed in the first place. Or at least two decades too early.
Either way, that, the fact no one is there to enforce patents anymore and the general disregard of a shady organisation like theirs for intellectual property should give them all the possibilities needed to combine tech that otherwise never would have been under normal circumstances. Hence the improvements to the power supply and all that Lexington's done.
That said, it's way too early to give the HPI actual, genuine fusion power. Not saying they're not most likely researching it since even if their type of reactor didn't run off deuterium it would be a major improvement... but the storyline's still in 2015. I'm saying, the palladium-based fuel cells he talked about were not portable fusion reactors.
it sounds like things are going to be hitting the fan for every one ..
