Chapter 10 Pre-War Preparations
After some deliberation, the representatives of the coalition government finally decided to agree to Qiao Lu's proposal, after all, they had no better candidate at the moment.
This is an action related to the fate of the Wandering Earth, and even if it can only increase the success rate by one percent, the coalition government will do its best to fight for it.
The first round of landing exploration teams will consist of ten teams, each consisting of three members, who will be required to act as secretly as possible so as not to alarm the colonial human forces on the planet Pandora.
As long as one of these exploration teams can return with superconducting ore, the mission will be declared complete.
If all squads are wiped out, the number of squads dropped in the next round will increase to twenty. For the last hope of the earth, humanity will continue to move forward until the last ounce of strength is exhausted.
This is how the Wandering Earth solves the crisis.
The two members of the group assigned to Qiao Lu were Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang and Captain Wang Lei, both of whom voluntarily joined the operation.
Qiao Lu saw the names of the two of them on the personnel list at a glance, so he naturally chose to be in a group with them.
Now Liu Peiqiang is still on the navigator space station, so Qiao Lu and Wang Lei have to take a rocket to the space station first, and then land on the planet Pandora through the drop module.
Of course, before that, you have to arm yourself well.
Jolu enters the coalition government's armory, where almost everything he can see in the movies is placed.
QBZ47 assault rifle, Type 92 heavy pistol, and of course, the "If it's a man, do Jupiter" individual Gatling rapid-fire machine gun, these weapons can be used by Qiao Lu at will, as long as he can still carry it.
Before choosing these weapons, you must first put on a set of power exoskeleton armor full of heavy industrial texture, which is the standard equipment of soldiers on the wandering earth, without which it is impossible to perform tasks in such a surface environment.
In fact, it is not so much a set of armor as a set of power skeleton, its metal covering part is only the wrist and calf two positions, the rest of the place is a thin battery cold suit, with metal brackets to provide power for each joint.
With the technological level of the Wandering Earth, it is not possible to make a full-coverage power armor like Iron Man, and the main role of this exoskeleton armor is to improve the limbs of soldiers, obtain greater weight and stronger climbing ability, and cannot resist the rain of bullets for them.
Such an effect may be enough to deal with the offensive of the rebels on the Wandering Earth, but it is still a little weak in the face of the attack of Pandora's various ferocious alien creatures, and even the local indigenous Na'vi.
Not to mention the Avatar human forces that have colonized here for a while.
Qiao Lu still put on this set of power exoskeleton armor, no matter how bad it is, it's better than nothing, right?
After putting on this power exoskeleton armor, Qiao Lu suddenly felt as if the metal skeleton on his body had become a part of his body, and he could no longer feel its weight and texture.
Every joint of the armor seemed to have become his own joint, and he didn't need to deliberately adjust it to match Qiao Lu's movements all over his body.
It's obviously a few tens of kilograms, but it feels as light as a shirt when you wear it. Qiao Lu doesn't want to say that he does simple small movements, even if he dances a hip-hop dance, this set of exoskeleton armor on his body will not hinder any movements, which can be said to be an extremely wonderful feeling.
This was definitely not the effect of the power exoskeleton armor itself, because Qiao Lu could see that the others were a little mechanical and stiff even when they walked.
What's going on, why can I use this set of power exoskeleton armor like an arm as soon as I come up? It seems that even if you install two more manipulators, you can still control it.
After a while, Qiao Lu guessed the reason, probably because the system also recognized this rudimentary exoskeleton armor as a small mecha, so the driving skill D he had upgraded before also took effect on this set of armor!
It is precisely because the judgment of the system is so extensive that it has caused the magical effect of Qiao Lu's current human clothes.
As a result, his movements are much more fluid, not like a person wearing a power exoskeleton armor, but a robot that is itself integrated with this set of armor.
This gave Qiao Lu a completely different combat power to the others.
"It's funny, you can still use your driving skills like this."
Knowing his strengths, Jolu focused his weapon selection on melee weapons rather than various heavy firepower weapons.
After all, he is flexible enough to use this armor to play martial arts, and it is obviously a bit of a waste to waste the strength of his limbs on carrying a larger gun and a heavier cannon to stand on the pile.
There are a lot of high-speed melee creatures on Pandora, and having a teammate who can keep up with the opponent's movements and fight with the enemy with bayonets at this time can undoubtedly make up for the team's poor hand-to-hand combat ability to a large extent.
Qiao Lu quickly fell in love with a sharp-looking Damascus steel knife, which was one of the few melee weapons in the armory.
This knife is very heavy, if you don't wear power armor, you can almost not swing it normally, and the body of the knife is engraved with layers of gorgeous patterns, which adds a bit of mystery to this knife, and it looks very cool.
Qiao Lu picked up the knife and swung it twice, the blade of the knife made two "boom" sounds in the air, the heavy feel gave people a very reliable feeling, and I am afraid that even the steel can be cut under the hard chopping.
"In that case, let's tell you to break the steel." Qiao Lu casually named the knife, which also meant that he was the new owner of the knife.
After putting the broken steel belt on, Qiao Lu chose a retractable full-body shield, which is more common in modern warfare.
When fully extended, this thing can block people from head to toe, even in the face of heavy machine gun fire, it can be carried for a while.
After that, Qiao Lu picked a large-caliber heavy pistol, which was the one in the movie where Zhou Qian broke the flint. This pistol is extremely penetrating, and even the hard metal casing of flint can easily penetrate it, more than enough to compensate for a little more than the lack of firepower.
After getting the equipment, Qiao Lu walked out of the armory. At this time, the rocket heading to the Navigator space station is ready to be launched, and after using the space station for transfer, he will officially land on the planet Pandora.
He will be joined by members of ten other exploration teams, who will be the first to arrive in Pandora.
And the hope of saving humanity is also temporarily bet on them.
