On Bouvet Island, Antarctica, an icebreaking research ship has docked in the area near the outer waters of Bouvet Island, which is a research ship belonging to Wieland Industries.

Although it is summer in the United States, in Antarctica, it is in the harshest polar night period, and the sea surface is so frozen that even icebreakers can no longer move forward, and the rest of the journey can only rely on snowmobiles.

After a long ice journey of more than an hour, the expedition led by Wieland finally arrived at their destination, a century-old abandoned whaling station on the edge of Bouvet Island, and their target, the pyramid with a thermal response discovered by the satellite, was nearly 2,000 meters directly below the whaling station.

"We had the best drilling equipment, but depending on the thickness of the ice, it would take us at least a week to get to that position," said Quinn, the head of the drilling team hired by Wieland.

"Let's get started," Wieland coughed.

"Hey, come and see what this is?" Just as the drilling team was about to begin drilling, one of the expedition members made a new discovery.

With a snort, a burning rod was thrown into a massive deep hole until it vanished.

"It's unbelievable, a perfectly drilled hole at a 30-degree angle," Quinn said incredulously.

"How deep?" Half-coerced and half-begged, Ms. Woods asked curiously.

"All the way to the pyramids, it's clear to see this," Wieland said, holding up satellite images on his computer, "and this passage didn't exist at the same time yesterday."

"And how did this come about?" The chemical engineer on the side, Dr. Graeme, asked.

"Some kind of thermal device," Quinn said with a shrug.

"Like the kind you brought?" Wieland asked.

"More advanced," Quinn flashlighted a tower behind them, with the same traces as the ice caves on the ground, "It's a bit too powerful, in fact I've never heard of a working machine in the world that has the ability to drill to this depth in 24 hours." ”

"Well, it looks like we're going to have to find out how this is, and we're going to have to go down and see how this works," Wieland concluded, adding that a blizzard was approaching and they had to hurry.

And just when Wieland and his party were about to go down to find out, they didn't know that their every move fell into the surveillance.

The expedition led by Wieland was quite numerous, with more than 30 people, and in the end, Wieland decided to go down, including himself, a total of 10 people, and the rest stayed on it.

After Wieland and the other 10 people entered the ice cave, a team of 10 people dressed in polar combat uniforms and fully armed quietly entered the whaling station, and the blizzard provided them with the best cover.

At this time, because of the snowstorm, only one person was left outside the ice cave to guard, and the rest of the people hid in those abandoned houses to hide from the wind and snow and keep warm.

So the team quietly eliminated the hapless guard, and then all went down the ice cave to the underground ruins.

However, the people of this team did not notice that their actions were all filmed by the electronic eye of an invisible small drone in the dark sky, and through the electronic eye of the drone, you can see that there is a red and white umbrella-like logo on the shoulders of this fully armed team.

And just after the team also followed into the underground ruins, not far from the whaling station, three airborne capsules fell from the dark sky and fell into the ice and snow.

…………

"Wieland's men and the umbrella men have already gone in, when are we going to act?" The Banshee fighter plane, hovering in mid-air, witnessed what was happening at the whaling station through the drone, Clarke, codenamed Truck, asked.

"Don't worry, they're just bait, the real hunters and prey haven't appeared yet," Grevine said quietly.

"Anyway, it still feels a little awkward to wear this thing, and a lot of combat moves can't be played at all," Caroline, the original scout on the team, codenamed Mockerybird, complained.

And the reason why she complained was because of the bulky set of armor she was wearing.

Yes, the members of the Hell Squad at this time are all shrouded in a huge set of power armor, and this set of power armor is the same CMC power armor as the very classic StarCraft World Machine Gunner, but it looks slightly smaller and has a slight difference in details.

When it comes to power armor, many people immediately think of Iron Man's suit for comparison.

Attack and defense are strong, dynamic, and most importantly, flying.

In terms of combat effectiveness, ordinary CMC armor is inferior to the steel suit, but this does not mean that the power armor of the StarCraft world is worse than the steel suit, in fact, in terms of technology content, CMC power armor is definitely higher than the steel suit.

The difference in combat effectiveness is only caused by the difference in the function and pertinence of the two battle armors, and it is definitely not the wisdom of human beings in the interstellar world, which is worse than the so-called genius of Tony Stark.

Although the most basic purpose of the two types of armor is to protect and fight, the combat environment of the two is completely different.

In the StarCraft world, human footprints have been all over the universe, and the places where they fight are all kinds of extremely harsh space environments, different gravity on different planets, and all kinds of radiation storms.

And in addition to the environment, there are huge logistical pressures.

In the wars of mankind from ancient times to the present, it is never the army itself that plays the greatest role, but logistics.

And in space warfare, the pressure on logistics is magnified countless times.

In cross-planetary, or even interstellar operations, the time required for a replenishment is less than a few months.

It is precisely because of this situation that, in addition to the basic protection and combat functions, the most important function of CMC power armor is life support.

In the face of all kinds of harsh environments and heavy logistical pressure in the universe, the only thing that the marines can rely on is the power armor on their bodies, which is why the power armor of humans in the interstellar world looks so big and so bulky...... If there are too many things, it will naturally be bulky.

Take a look at the complete CMC Power Armor configuration.

One. The advanced nuclear, biological and chemical three-defense system can provide soldiers with strong radiation, biological and chemical defense capabilities, which can block all kinds of cosmic rays and nuclear radiation to the greatest extent, and at the same time, the fully enclosed design also avoids the invasion of bacteria, viruses and various microorganisms, and can resist the corrosion of strong acids and alkalis.

Two. Auditory reinforcement system: It senses the sound of the outside world and can block out the ambient noise, and the amplitude of the shielding automatically adjusts with the ambient volume.

Three. The life-cycle support system can allow soldiers to live peacefully for at least 3 months in the harsh cosmic environment in the case of logistics cut-off.

Four. Gravity Generator: The suit is compatible with gravity generators, allowing the wearer to walk in gravity-free environments such as space platforms.

Five. The powerful alloy armor can withstand the direct fire of most small arms, but the Gauss machine guns equipped in the hands of the soldiers can still tear through these armors, after all, before encountering the Zerg and the Star Spirits, the opponent of humans is the humans themselves. Therefore, it is completely meaningless to investigate human beings' own weapons and protection, just like the current earthlings to discuss which is stronger, body armor or firearms, someone to invent more powerful body armor, naturally someone will invent a firearm that can penetrate this body armor, but CMC armor is placed on the earth, not to mention light weapons such as rifles, that is, medium artillery, RPGs and the like are not afraid, as for heavy artillery missiles and the like...... Well, if you don't die, you will be shocked to death, and this kind of thing is not used for big road goods like CMC armor.

Six. The observation and sighting system, the steel suit also has this thing, with infrared detection, terrain navigation, target alignment (with a certain ability to calculate the amount of advance), status monitoring and other functions. The device is also equipped with a data link, which allows the wearer to access real-time data and information, which is displayed on the mask in a scrolling manner. The mask itself can be stowed/lowered and the amount of light transmitted can be adjusted according to the user's requirements, although usually the mask can be automatically dimmed. The mask is usually black or gold.

Seven. It is very important to integrate the communication system in the universe to maintain the necessary communications, and no one wants a person to be abandoned by the fleet on a deserted planet.

Eight. Locking system: used to immobilize the position of the wounded or lock the joints of the faulty combat suit to prevent it from being activated by mistake, and to ensure the safety of the wearer to the greatest extent in the event that the wearer is injured or alive and the combat suit is damaged, but once the combat suit is locked, the wearer is unable to move.

Nine. First aid device: will inject anesthetics and first aid drugs for the user when he is injured, in addition to anesthetics and first aid drugs, it is also equipped with berserk drugs, which can greatly improve the user's physical fitness and lift their spirits after injection, yes, it is a strengthening potion that can increase the rate of fire in the game, but the side effects of this thing are also very large, generally speaking, after the effect is over, even with the physical strength of the genetically strengthened soldier, it will have to be soft for a few hours...... Ahem, it is absolutely forbidden to use it during certain activities.

Ten. Lighting, installed on the shoulder or chest, activated by voice.

Eleven. Support Framework: Dramatically increase the user's strength and speed, as well as stamina. The servo allows the user to climb steep slopes with extremely steep inclines, or jump from a height of more than ten meters unharmed.

Twelve. The C-14 rifle can be charged, and the power source of the CMC combat suit is the same as that of Iron Man, using a miniature nuclear fusion reactor, which is enough for a large energy consumer like the C-14 Gauss rifle.

A baker's dozen. Sufficiently large ammunition compartment and material compartment, although the ammunition used by the C-14 Gauss rifle is not gunpowder ammunition, but extremely small spikes, but its high rate of fire makes it also a big eater of ammunition, without enough ammunition, the material compartment is placed for food and drinking water, after all, it is impossible for soldiers to drink air to satisfy hunger during the three months of cutting off logistics.

In addition, a number of entertainment equipment is installed inside the power armor...... If you're fine, you can watch movies, listen to music, and even play VR games.

Finally, to sum up, the advantage of the CMC combat uniform is that it has strong sustained combat capability and low logistical pressure.

And what about the steel suits? The protection is stronger, the attack is stronger, but the energy consumption is high, according to the situation in the movie, it is inferred that when the steel suit is fully functional, it will have to be exchanged for energy in an hour, and the steel suit is a pure underground combat suit, and there is no space survival function at all.

In addition, the CMC combat suit has an advantage, that is, it is cheap, and as a basic piece of equipment for infantry, how much can you expect it to be worth?

A CMC, even if it is produced on a small scale, costs only two million dollars including reactors.

And what about the steel suits? Hehe, the cost of titanium alloy alone is enough to buy an F35.

Therefore, in terms of large-scale installation, the steel suit is also inferior to the CMC.

What's more, the CMC combat suit is not incomparable with the steel suit, as long as you add a jet knapsack, remove the space equipment that is not needed for the intraterrestrial war, and replace it with a more advanced superalloy armor, it is a set of interstellar versions of the steel suit.

As for the fact that there are many types of steel suits in the later stage? Can it be adapted to a variety of situations?

Hehe, the CMC combat suit is also a series.

The various armors used by the 1 fire bat in the interstellar space, the raider reaper in the interstellar 2, and the medic are all from the CMC series, only the difference in the model.

So even if there is no other interstellar technology, just the CMC series power armor is enough for Chris to have a place in this world.

Not to mention that CMC power armor is just the most basic equipment in the interstellar world.
