《I'm the King Of Technology 》Chapter 734: Wetsuit Production
Advertisement
"Excellent Edith!
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Anyone else?
You can also talk about the positives that you noticed too."
As usual, many people raised their hands swiftly.
"Rob, go!"
"Thank you, overseer Wiggins.
Even though we failed in some aspects, I did notice that the suit did offer some sort of protection just as planned.
These suits are supposed to offer protection against jellyfish stings, rocky reefs and other light injuries.
The moment the volunteer went down and 'accidentally' injured himself, the suit did its part and made sure that he wasn't scratched or injured.
This is good!"
(*^_^*)
Even though they had failed, everyone was still filled with enough enthusiasm and emotions that could light up the sun.
Their feelings right now were alive and real.
They discussed happily, while secretly screaming in their hearts at the thought of being part of a research team.
Hahahhahahahah!
They could now call themselves proud scientists!
Even those from the textile industry smiled at this thought.
They felt like a scientist in a secret organization.
You say that you're a star?
Sorry!
They were secret researchers working on the next best thing!
And what was it that they were working on?
Sorry, can't say.
It's all part of their secret organization's rules.
Hahahhahahahahaha!
(^∆^)
.
Time went by, and soon... they headed towards production again.
They had come up with different theories and reasons why they failed, as well as remembered where they did succeed.
So now, it was time to put everything to the test.
In a flash, everyone went to their workstations.
Wetsuits allowed a small amount of water to seep between it and the body's skin.
From there, body heat will warm the water, insulating the swimmers and keeping them warm.
That was the basic concept of the wetsuits in a nutshell.

The wetsuits were supposed to allow a certain amount of water to pass through, so the body can heat it up and keep the diver warm.
Unfortunately, poorly-fitted or badly designed wetsuits don't trap this water layer very well... and might let too much cold water in, which in turn freezes the diver instead.
So there was so much to look out for when making them.
Immediately, the team worked together to form a synthetic rubber called neoprene by performing several chemical reactions that uses chloroprene and other chemicals.
Of course, they created what they needed based on their errors and adjustments.
"Sister, I'm new here
And even though I've read up on the theoretical part, can you tell me what this material is?"
"Of course!
Right now, we are carving out a synthetic rubber called Neoprene.
Wetsuits work by using this Neoprene, which is made of tiny cells that contain nitrogen bubbles.
Brother, the unique aspect of nitrogen is that it's terrible at conducting heat.
Water is 25~30% more efficient at transferring body heat than air is.
That's why even if the water and air temperatures are the same, the moment you step into the water...you immediately get cold as the water steals warmth from you.
So the nitrogen bubbles inside the Neoprene is what keeps us warm.
And the thicker the suit, the more space and layers available for more nitrogen bubbles.
It's this philosophy that keeps us warmer the thicker the wetsuits get."
"Ahhh..... thank you, sister."
With that, the young man quickly took note of the Neoprene.
Those back on earth would say that the material looks like a mouse pad for computers.
It was soft and flexible.
.
Immediately, everyone chose measurements from a size chart and carved out several cardboard patterns neatly.

From there, they used the carved cardboard patterns and placed them on their materials.
With chalk, they carved out the desired shapes.
It was just like a tailor marking out fabric for a bodysuit.
And when they were done, they applied waterproof rubberized glue to the edges of all neoprene carvings.
At this stage, Wiggins and Sophia anxiously warned everyone to handle this phase with care.
"Oh my God!
Are you trying to give me a heart attack?
Why did you put so much?
Doing that might allow the glue to bleed into the other carvings when they're joint together.
Wipe some off now!"
"You!
That's too little.
Don't you know that too little glue can affect the adhesion and waterproofing qualities?
Add some more Dammit!"
(*^*)
Everyone looked at their fire breathing overseers helplessly.
We are trying our best, okay?
.
With the glue attached to all carvings, everyone began carefully attaching each part to others.
And due to the strong nature of the glue, each part adhered instantly with other parts... and the wetsuit came together quickly.
'So far so good', they thought.
Everyone continued production seriously.
And after joining all pieces together, they flipped their suits inside out and carefully stitched it up with their sewing machines.
This part was also essential and needed their full attention.
Well, since they didn't want to go all the way through the fabric, they used curved needles instead.
This was typically called blind stitching, which was perfect for wetsuits since it wouldn't puncture the fabric or part of the neoprene material within the suit that was supposed to form a barrier between the water and the diver.
Following that they use a hot roller to apply Nylon tap to the back of the seams for extra waterproofing.
And while that was going on, a nozzle blew hot air to melt the adhesive glue into the fabric.
Now, they sewed in their zips at the back and installed a hook & loop stopper to prevent unzipping.
But how could it stop there?
Rubberized glue was also rubbed around the zipper, and another neoprene carving was placed on top of the upper area, creating a waterproof barrier there.
Of course, they had been sewing everything inside out.
So now, they turned the suit to the proper side and checked the zip to test the workmanship.
The suit was tight as it should be, and everything looked okay.
Phew!
It was done.
The suit was completed.
Now, they just had to test out these bad boys and see if their earlier adjustments worked.
Inspection time!
"Call in volunteer 5 from department 2."
"_"
.
Just like that, Sophia, Wiggins and their research team hurried away hopefully.
They prayed that this time, they succeeded.
Of course, It wasn't just them who fell into the amazing world of research.
Many other industries were running around too.
There was excitement in the air, as well as frustration.
Everyone looked forward to the future.
Things were really looking great.
But while Baymard was on the verge of a technological breakthrough, other areas were currently experiencing a crisis.
"My lord... my lord.
They're here!
They're here!"
"F***!
Quickly, haul me out through the window."
"But my lord..."
"I said do it now!!"
