Three hours later, when Hou Rui went downstairs again after a nap, the aroma of curry was already wafting from the kitchen, and the ape-man was chatting with the busy cat.

At this moment, Mao Bo tied her hair up, and was wearing a long apron, with a long strap tied in a knot at the back waist, which clearly highlighted the unbearable little waist, and the curve of her waist and hips.

"Damn it, you don't have a lot of lust, and your taste is really heavy. Helplessly, he smiled bitterly first, and Hou Rui came to the big refrigerator and took out a can of cold beer for himself.

"It smells good, what are you doing?" staring at the cat wave who was busy in front of the pot, Hou Rui asked casually.

"Fish curry and chicken curry are both dishes from my hometown, and I hope you can enjoy them. Mao Bo replied with a sweet smile.

"I'm looking forward to it. Hou Rui was about to return to the sofa after speaking, but at this time, the ape-man suddenly jumped up, chased Hou Rui's side in a few steps, and kept squeezing his eyebrows at Hou Rui: "Leader, while there is still some time before eating, I have something for you to see, to ensure that you are eye-opening." ”

"What's that?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you can see it with your own eyes, spoilers won't be interesting. ”

"Okay, let's go see what you're up to. After saying that, Hou Rui followed the ape-man into the basement, and then next to the monitoring center, when the ape-man opened a solid gate with the password, in a small room full of mechanical parts and various instruments and equipment, a burly humanoid exoskeleton more than two meters tall was standing quietly under a beam of light, shining with iron cyan light.

"It's ...... Your research?" Hou Rui looked at the short thick barrel on the shoulder of the exoskeleton, and instantly felt a sense of murder.

"That's right, it's my brainchild, Gorilla One!" the ape-man laughed exaggeratedly, jumping around the exoskeleton, looking more like a mad gorilla.

"Can you start now?" Hou Rui asked a little incredulously as he touched the metal shell of the exoskeleton with his hand.

This project of the ape man has been going on for a long time, and Hou Rui even sneaked into Boeing's weapons laboratory once for this reason, but when the ape man really put such a weapon full of science and technology in front of Hou Rui, Hou Rui still suffered a great impact, after all, in all countries in the world, military exoskeletons are still in the research stage, and there is no real equipment in that country.

"As long as a person with a height of 170-190 centimeters and a weight of less than 210 pounds sits on it, Gorilla One can burst out at any time with strong combat effectiveness. As he spoke, the ape-man touched the armpit on the left side of the exoskeleton, and with a "buzzing" sound, a large opening opened in the back of the exoskeleton, enough for an adult man to get into it and manipulate it.

"Is this thing difficult to manipulate?" asked Hou Rui, who was circling around the exoskeleton and observing carefully.

"It's not much more difficult than driving, and anyone can easily control it with 100 hours of training using the VR system. ”

"What about the specific data?"

"The head is equipped with optical and infrared two kinds of sighting systems, and a combat analysis computer and a low-power metal detector are also installed on the right shoulder, the main protection is this 5-10 cm thick titanium alloy armor, and the main weapon is a 30mm grenade launcher on the left shoulder, 80 rounds of ammunition, and 7.62 near the machine gun in the position of both arms, a total of 400 rounds of ammunition. While introducing the ape-man, he also pointed them out one by one for Hou Rui to watch carefully.

"With such a large volume, it won't be slow to act, and if you spend tens of millions of dollars and end up building a target, then I should really vomit blood. ”

My Gorilla No. 1 weighs 1.8 tons, and its limbs, head, waist and other joints use multiple hydraulic transmission structures, and the energy system is a nuclear battery backpack on its back, which is enough to support the gorilla to run at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour for more than two hours, or a fierce battle for an hour, and the action is definitely not slower than that of ordinary soldiers, but the protection is comparable to a light armored vehicle, with more than 80% of the whole body The position can withstand the fire of 7.62 caliber small arms, and the chest and abdomen can even withstand a single direct shot of 12.7 caliber bullets, not to mention the protection against grenade shrapnel or something. ”

As soon as the ape-man heard that Hou Rui was a little suspicious of his brainchild, he immediately shouted dissatisfiedly, eager to climb in and show Hou Rui a demonstration.

"Okay, okay, I'm sure you can't do it yet! This exoskeleton, oh no, your Gorilla No. 1, have you been tested in actual combat? Once a person sits in it, it won't malfunction and can't get out!"

"No, the rear side of Gorilla One is actually a separate structure, and an independent power system is also installed, so if you are really incapacitated during the battle, the crew inside can also escape from the rear side, and there will be no trapping inside. ”

"Ape man, you said it so perfectly, what is the biggest disadvantage of this exoskeleton, or what are the weaknesses when participating in battle?"

"Weakness? That's completely non-existent!"

"Speak well. ”

"Uh...... , if there is any weakness, that is, the armor on the back side is relatively thin, and the battery backpack will lose more than 95% of its mobility, and if you fall, you will get up more slowly, and if you get a head injury, the entire control system may be paralyzed. After some twisting, the ape-man finally confessed to Hou Rui.

"......" When Hou Rui's eyes became a little cloudy, the ape-man immediately explained: "But these are all small technical problems, I will slowly solve them all, leader, you have to see the potential of the gorilla, any experienced combatant wears it, and it is no problem to fight against an infantry company alone, and even tanks and helicopters can be easily killed by 2-3 people, it is a super weapon suitable for the fierce conflict of our team!"

"Don't put gold on your face, how are you going to perfect it next?"

"The first is to improve the gorilla's movement fluidity, that is, to upgrade the movement software, and then to increase the effectiveness of the armor, so that he can be free from 12.7 caliber bullets as soon as possible, both of which I am confident will be completed within a year. ”

"How much does that gorilla cost?"

"This is still a prototype, and if it is officially manufactured, I estimate that the cost of each machine should be around 30 million US dollars. ”

"What, the equivalent of a half-M1A2SEPv3 tank?"

"Don't get excited, the cost will drop after mass production, and I estimate that it will be maintained at about $23 million in the end. ”

"What nonsense? Is it possible that this kind of thing will be mass-produced? If there are two or three, we will all go bankrupt!"

Looking at the furious Hou Rui, the ape man suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Leader, I have already thought about it, as long as we hand in the prototype and design data, we can at least get back hundreds of millions of funds from the organization, and it will not be a problem to produce a few at that time, and a big truck can load these big killers, which is enough for us to run amok." ”

Unexpectedly, after Hou Rui thought about it, he told the ape man with a serious face: "Regarding this exoskeleton, let's not hand it over to the organization, I will get some money and let you produce two of them first." ”

"Don't turn it in?" the ape-man was stunned when he heard this, and his expression immediately became solemn.

"Well, in a few months, the organization should go through a big change, and the Wild Dog Squad should prioritize enhancing its ability to protect itself. ”

"Leader, is it ...... over there on Saturday?"

"Well, a big operation is being planned over there, and if it happens, maybe World War III will not be far away. ”

"World war, so serious?"

"I'm not alarmist at all! Wait and see!" After speaking, Hou Rui patted the chest armor of the exoskeleton worriedly, and the touch of his fingers was slightly cool, giving people a very thick and solid feeling.

"Then I understand, I will finish the final concoction as soon as possible, and then move on to production and assembly. ”

"Okay, the ape-man, you can do it yourself!"

"Leader, in fact, I don't think you should deal with it like that!" Now that the great change is coming, the ape can no longer sit idly by and ignore the unstable factors in the wild dog squad, and he raised objections when he looked at Hou Rui's face.

"You mean the matter of the fox?"

"That's right, the severed finger is a thing that the devil samurai slowly evolved by disemboweling, but I still have reservations about people who can mutilate their limbs casually. ”

“…… Are you afraid that Guan Hu will resent me? ”

"That's right, usually this may not be a problem, after a period of time for everyone to get along, we can slowly run in these contradictions, but after a few months, when the situation facing the organization changes dramatically, I am not sure if his mind will change, not to mention that before the incident in Rome, Guan Hu also helped me dispose of parts a few times, with his engineer's vision, it should not be difficult to guess what I am making, if we don't plan to turn it in, then it is even more necessary to shut him up." ”

"I knew in my heart that I would find a chance to keep him silent forever. Hou Rui, who expressed his approval, said coldly.

After leaving the ape-man's workshop, the two quickly put away the solemn expressions on their faces, and enjoyed a curry meal with the elephant and the cat bo, and when Hou Rui and they had just finished eating, the pocket watch also brought Guan Hu back, and Guan Hu's finger was luckily reconnected.

In the next few days, the ape-man never came out of the workshop, the elephant stayed with his lions and tiger elephants day and night, and the cat Bo took the initiative to take on the task of cooking, endlessly filling everyone with curry, and the pocket watch was responsible for accompanying Hou Rui's side.
