In terms of frontal fire and armor, there is no essential difference between a fighter wearing T-3 power armor and a mutant with a steel plate on his chest.

If it is a one-on-one situation, power armor can indeed easily solve the mutant soldiers with almost undefended backs with high mobility and high battlefield adaptability. However, if you rise to the corps level, the advantage of power armor will be weakened a lot, and the battle will often develop in the direction of relying on cover to vent fire on each other.

In the last firefight with mutants, Jiang Chen had already learned his lesson.

Ten T-3s did not have any advantage in firepower in the firefight with dozens of mutants, and it could even be said that they were completely pressed and fighting. In the end, it was still relying on the condescending terrain advantage, paying the price of several spare fuel rods and 1 power armor to barely win.

If there were a few more artillery pieces on Jiang Chen's side at that time, the situation might have been different.

At the same time, whether it has the ability to produce its own heavy firepower weapons is fundamental to whether a survivor base can exist independently.

In every sense of the word, fish bones must develop heavy firepower!

And he's already doing just that.

The Type 50 electromagnetic cannon technology that I bought from Zhao Chenwu last time has been thoroughly digested by the technicians of the Fish Bone Base. Although the production conditions of the base are still simple, after more than half a month of hard work, the workers of the fish bone base still relied on the simple production equipment to make six 50-type electromagnetic cannons.

This vehicle-mounted electromagnetic cannon was usually used as a tank main gun in wartime, but it is obviously impossible to get a tank now. So, Jiang Chen thought of a compromise solution.

The Type 50 electromagnetic cannon was welded to the modified truck bed, and the armor of the truck was strengthened to a certain extent by welding steel plates, while a gunner was placed in the rear of the truck to fire the gun manually.

As a result, this nondescript electromagnetic cannon chariot was born under Jiang Chen's brain.

Moreover, he also gave this thing a name that hit the charts for the second time - Tiger Hunting.

Low armor, medium mobility, high range, high damage. It works wonders in suburbs with fewer buildings. It's a target in the city. Although this design is a bit extreme, it can only be played like this for now.

On the other hand, with the production of the Hummingbird drone production line, the patrol on the periphery of the base has been completely handed over to these palm-sized little guys. At present, the reserve of hummingbird drones in the base has reached more than a hundred. It is more than enough to form a drone attack formation. Although these little guys don't have a high bomb load, once the number is formed, they can't launch a cluster attack

The plan for an expedition to Shenxiang Town was set for five days later, and the survivors in the base were once again busy.

Although the Winter Expedition may seem a bit unplanned, as long as it is the boss's decision. They will do it without hesitation.

The military factory was working overtime, and the workers welded the Type 50 electromagnetic cannon to the modified truck according to Jiang Chen's instructions. The training ground was also lively, and the soldiers in white cold-proof suits, under the leadership of Cheng Weiguo, were nervously conducting pre-war training.

Although everyone was preparing very seriously, Jiang Chen didn't have too many worries about this expedition.

It's just a little over 40 mutants. On the Fishbones, there are not only hunting tigers to provide fire support, but also helicopters that act as aerial gunboats.

It can be said that there is no suspense in this war.

Wearing a thick cold-proof suit and coming out of the villa, Jiang Chen walked straight towards Jiang Lin's laboratory.

He is still very interested in the scientist who is keen on the aerospace industry. Not only did he get a laboratory out of it. He also gave him a monthly budget of 1,000 crystals to purchase related equipment.

Although space technology is of little use to the Fish Bone Base at this stage, rockets are not only used to shoot into the sky. Shoot at the ground, that's a missile!

Of course, this time he came not for missiles, but for something else.

Pulling open the door of the laboratory, Jiang Chen stepped into the door quickly, and then quickly closed the door behind him.

Standing at the doorway and shaking off the snow on his body, he walked into the house.

"Ahem, what are you fiddling with?"

A dazzling array of mechanical parts are randomly stacked in the corners of the room. Some of them were equipment needed for rocket launches, while others were miscellaneous items brought from a prosthetic leg boutique. Although Jiang Lin did not plan to inherit his father's business, these things were still moved here by him.

"The engine of the rocket" At this moment, Jiang Lin is wearing sunglasses and holding an electric welder in his hand. Engrossed in fiddling with the parts on the table.

Looking at the hair that was stuck into tufts of oil, Jiang Chen didn't want to guess how long it had been since he had washed his hair.

It's good to be passionate about what you do, though

"Is the task I gave you completed?" Straddling a piece of mechanical leg lying horizontally, Jiang Chen walked up to him and asked.

"It's done, it's on the shelf on your right, and the instruction manual is in the second compartment on the bookcase next to it. "A small piece of chip is carefully soldered to the engine. Jiang Lin said without looking back.

"I said, you can't launch rockets at all in this weather now, why don't you do something else?" Jiang Chen fiddled with the strange mechanical shelf from the shelf, and said casually.

"Just wait until the weather is sunny to set up an intelligent power control module in the engine, and then install a radio obstacle feedback system on the head of the rocket, tsk, I'm a genius. Jiang Lin said to himself, the expression on his face was very excited.

Although Jiang Chen couldn't understand what he was excited about.

"Mechanical exoskeleton, model: K1. A line of small characters was inscribed on the side of the metal bar, and Jiang Chen read it out quietly.

Turning his gaze back to the mechanical shelf in his hand, he fumbled for a long time and didn't find a clue, so he walked to the bookcase and took down the manual, and followed the steps above to put it on.

Lightweight plastic steel metal hugs the sides of the limbs, while the spine is covered by overlapping metal strips.

To put it simply, it's like a metal skeleton. Although it is full of metallic texture, it does not feel cumbersome when worn on the body.

Moving his lower limbs and moving his fingers, Jiang Chen didn't feel that this thing was of any use, and his face couldn't help but show a confused expression.

Seeing that the boss had already dressed his masterpiece, Jiang Lin put down the work he was doing, clapped his hands and walked over.

"The start button is on the neck and you can press to try it. ”

Follow Jiang Lin's instructions. Jiang Chen suspiciously stretched his fingers to the side of his neck, quickly fumbled for a button, and then pressed it tentatively.

A faint sound of electricity slipped by, and Jiang Chen only felt a slight numbness in the back of his neck. The next moment, a shocked expression appeared on his face.

It's a wonderful feeling, as if all these metal bars are part of your body. It is no longer the bones in the flesh that drive the movement of one's body, but the metal bones attached to the outside of the body!

Jiang Chen moved his arms, and the shock on his face grew more and more.

It's hard to describe the feeling. Specifically, it seems that the metal skeleton is his hand, and the real hand is just a prop that he "pinched".

"The K1 mechanical exoskeleton, the proud work of the prosthetic leg boutique. Jiang Lin showed a smug smile on his face, took a curved plastic plate from the side, and pressed it on the empty groove in Jiang Chen's chest.

"Detachable armor, super-molecular weight polyethylene bulletproof partitions, protection against ordinary rifle bullets is no problem. The exterior is coated with a scattering coating, and it also has some defense against laser gun bullets. Of course, I personally don't recommend that you deliberately take a few shots just to test the strength of your armor. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Lin took a few more curved plastic plates one after another. They were fought to Jiang Chen's chest, abdomen, front of thighs and shoulder blades.

"It's almost dressed. Jiang Lin, who stood up, clapped his hands, smiled and took the tablet from the table next to him, and connected a data cable to the disc behind Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen drooped his limbs and watched with interest as his fingers quickly tapped on the screen. Soon, the tingling sensation in the back of the neck was gone, replaced by a shock of nerves through the metal.

This time, it's not just the metal that drives the limbs, it's the metal and the limbs that are controlled by his brain at the same time.

Moving his limbs, the look of surprise on Jiang Chen's face became stronger and stronger.

Looking at the expression on the boss's face, Jiang Lin smiled, quickly stepped aside and made a "please" gesture. Smugly, "Let's try punching the punching bag." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen clenched the fist with a thin flake finger guard, and struck it out with all the strength of his body.

Bang-.

Dust flying.

The violent impact dented the sandbag, and the hanging chain let out a "squeak" and overwhelmed scream.

"Well played! Let me see 971 kilograms. Not bad. Jiang Lin touched his chin and nodded, and debugged the data on the tablet very professionally.

It's not bad?

Jiang Chen stared at his hands in shock and complained in his heart.

The boxing power of a normal person is only about 100 kilograms, and he remembers that the boxing champion Tyson over there is only about 400 kilograms.

However, this sandbag was not pierced by a punch, and the quality is also good.

In addition to being surprised by the power, Jiang Chen couldn't help but look at the sandbag twice.

"Try the strength index again. Jiang Lin quickly walked to the other end of the room.

Looked at. Jiang Chen tentatively moved his legs. After discovering that there was no obstacle to coordination, he followed suit.

A closet-sized iron box, the protruding part of which seems to be a weightlifter. The white metal casing flashed with indecipherable signal lights, and the meter next to it emitted a faint fluorescence.

"Put your hands on the grips and lift them up with maximum force. Jiang Lin handed him something that looked like a weightlifting lever, and then smiled and made a gesture of please.

Jiang Chen followed his instructions, put his hand on the barbell, and then lifted it up violently.

[Strength Index: 64]

"It's perfect!" snapped his fingers, Jiang Lin said excitedly.

Compared to Jiang Lin's excitement, Jiang Chen's mood can be described as ecstasy.

With just a few metal shelves, one can gain the power to surpass the limits of genetic drug modification. If you put one on every soldier, the Fishbone Base will more than double its combat power! )
