March 2104 Siberia

Siberia at this time was still covered with silver frost.

"General, this is the latest list of suspected espionage. ”

"you, it's been more than a year, how come there are so many?" said Jeno Kashleo in a low voice, "hand this mission over to the Inspectorate and tell them that it's not under our jurisdiction." ”

Jeno has climbed from lieutenant to brigadier over the years, and Axia has stayed with him, admitting that the AI is useful, but don't think he'll be able to spare her.

"What about the press conference? Axia asked.

"Where did the press conference come from, can anything involving military secrets be reported casually?" Jeno grimaced, his cigar mouth barely moving, just a sound coming from the depths of his throat, "Just one thing, ATEF is an experimental unit that cooperates with ARPA's ruins to study militarization, and nothing else can be said." ”

The Advanced Technology Experimental Force, or "ATEF" for short, was the purpose of Admiral Karl's promotion of him, to build a force that would use relic technology to catch up with or even overtake the Southern Union, and Jeno Kashleo was the commander-in-chief of this force.

"Today is the day of the establishment of ATEF to the public, and I am worried about ......"

"Worried? Hmph, just wait and see, in less than two or three hours, the chaotic speculation of public opinion will be flying all over the sky. ”

"Yes, I see. ”

Jeno sighed softly, tomorrow morning if he saw an article written without any basis, he would be bored for the whole day.

The car drove past the edge of a coffin-shaped artificial lake, not far from which was a brand new canal, and the concrete-poured dam was covered with a protective layer of lead and gold. Jeno looked out the window, and he could see pyramid-shaped buildings on the horizon in the distance.

"It's a big guy. Jeno inadvertently raised an eyebrow.

"General, the general information of the obelisk is in the folder you have in your hand," Aixia said gently and politely, "In order to prevent the leakage of secrets, basically this kind of data is kept in the form of paper documents. ”

Jeno cursively flipped through the papers.

"Serve the main course as soon as you come up?"

"It's not finished yet, so it's not convenient to elaborate. ”

"It's okay," Jeno frowned, "at least it's a deterrent." ”

The obelisk is nothing more than the current code name for the building, and it will have an official name later, just as before. However, Jeno didn't know if they would be able to control the weapon once it was finished.

"General, you're really joking. ”

I'm not kidding. Jeno thought to himself.

He smoked a full cigar and walked around a mountain to the ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) R&D facility. The R&D facility is located on the surface of the earth with only a cone-shaped top, and the main body is hidden underground, so that the design is designed to be both invisible and minimise the effects of severe weather.

"I've kept you waiting, General. "The receptionist from ARPA came to greet him.

"Sure enough, this hellish place is still good to stay indoors. ”

"Here, please, General. ”

Most of the areas within the R&D facility are enclosed, which is partly due to the environmental needs of the research and on the other hand to ensure safety. Even Jeno, who is a brigadier general, has a hard time getting into this part of the area, and of course he is not uninteresting, and it is not good for him to visit that kind of place.

He arrives in the pristine white circular showroom, where ARPA prepares the samples to be presented to him, standing by in place.

"Yes, yes. Jeno looked around the room and nodded.

"ARPA will show the general the current development process, and I will explain it. "First of all, please come over here." ”

A simulated shooting range, where a soldier is aiming a pistol at his target, a girl with silver hair and golden eyes. The girl's eyes were dull, and she stood there like a dead person. With the sound of three gunshots, the girl was shot three times near the heart, and immediately the blood flowed.

Jeno felt a chill, but he didn't say anything.

After about a minute, the girl covered in blood stood up again like a nobody, her eyes still staring blankly ahead.

"What is this?" asked Jeno.

"We tentatively named 'GS91', and its main function is that the user can heal quickly after being injured, and basically not the injury that hits the brain directly can heal. An ARPA researcher pulled out a silver bracelet, "I think it will greatly improve the survival rate of frontline soldiers." ”

That's what it was...... Jeno fiddled with the bracelet, which had a device in the center of a small yellow square that turned blue and glowed when the device was running.

"In the future, ARPA will add tactical auxiliary functions such as optical camouflage to further optimize the GS91 and make it more suitable for military use. ”

"Hmmm......"

He handed the bracelet back to the R&D staff and continued the tour. He knew that Antarctica had the technology, and now that they did, they had finally won it back.

"This is the latest communication system, remastered from the previous 'Zener protocol' communication model," Exia explained to him, "Now we don't need satellites to directly transmit wide-area encrypted information." ”

"I want this to spread to the general military, not just our ATEF. ”

"Of course. ”

What Jeno then sees is a new mechanical exoskeleton that looks very light and the tester is quite agile. However, with the help of flexible auxiliary bands, this exoskeleton can burst out with great strength, and the slender but complex metal spurs fit the human body, which can load a lot of equipment without affecting movement, and can change the loaded equipment according to the needs of the actual situation.

"What you're looking at now is the AAX-05 Tactical Exoskeleton, a completely lightweight, modular mechanical exoskeleton that is the most adaptable to the battlefield. "But that's just the beginning. The AAX series will replace the previous model as a new outfit, so that the Powerful Soldier Vehicle System will be fully upgraded. In addition to tactical exoskeletons, the AAX series of medium combat mechs, heavy firepower platforms, tactical fighters and other vehicles have been developed one after another, and mass production plans are also in full swing. ”

Without going into too much detail, the project was going on well, and since Jeno wouldn't praise him, he didn't have much to say.

He was now curious about why there were three rows of similar-looking girls standing in the exhibition hall, with silver hair and golden eyes.

"Which project is this?"

"They're the first ones," replied Axia, her gentle tone sounding cold now, "to match the AAX series, fill in the gaps...... They are artificial ligands, stripped of emotion, and basically only have the ability to receive orders to execute. At this time, we must also admit that they are one of the products of relic technology. ”

In other words, the concept of military tactical humanoids has quietly returned to the Luo Lian military.

Jeno glanced at him, his face expressionless and speechless. If it were him in the past, he might have stopped it and stopped the project. Now it's different, he needs them, they are an indispensable link.

Everything here is a tool for his revenge, part of his plan, and they are one of them.

"I'll come and see it often. Jeno said before leaving, lighting a new cigar.

"Greetings to the arrival of the general at any time. ”
