Chapter 286: Armored Nanosuit

"Relax, this is just an experiment, it doesn't require any sophisticated equipment, it's just a few pieces of armor to the nanosuit......" Hargrave saw that he was so nervous and knew that he had misunderstood.? Come on,.!

In his opinion, this is a modification with very low technical difficulty, and it does not require any other cutting-edge technology of the plane. All he needed to do was add some support structures to the nanosuit and install the newly designed armor.

Compared to making nanosuits from scratch, this is just a very low-tech job, and it is completely difficult for a super engineer of his level, even if the final use effect is not good, he can remove the armor. Anyway, it's just a directional reality.

Shen Chao thought about it and agreed, this is Hargrave's specialty, and the nanosuit was developed by this old man, so the work of perfecting it is none other than him. He is not prepared and cannot direct an expert with his layman's mind.

Hargrave quickly got his consent to work on making it look like he needed from the ready-made armor plates they had brought back from the Mass Effect world.

The design and adjustment of this part took half a month, during which Hargrave perfected its design, adjusting the size and shape of each piece of armor according to the size of each person in the expedition.

They then made the various parts of the armor, tested the weapons at the shooting range, and then adjusted the thickness, structure, or pushed back to the original design from scratch.

After hundreds of tests, Hargrave finally settled on the final full-body armor design based on each person's physical condition, and then quickly made a batch and installed it on everyone's nanosuit.

This small project used a lot of important materials and tools that Shen Chao and the others had brought back before, and Hargrave even dismantled a shuttle to see if he could transplant the small artillery loaded on it to their new version of the nanosuit.

Thankfully, due to weight and flexibility issues, he didn't actually add this one-man-tall "shoulder gun" to the armored nanosuit. However, the old man said that he will continue to try to install high-power weapons on the nanosuit in the future.

In the past, due to technical difficulties, he could only tap and improve the potential of the nano suit. But now in Shen Chao's place, a variety of mature weapon systems have made his options even more.

Many designs that used to only appear in his imagination can now be verified one by one. Back in the present, Hargrave took time out of his way to Dr. Neville's room in the process of making it easier to work.

There, he implanted a multi-tool chip in his arm. After the trial. The old man was full of praise for the processing assistance effect of the multi-purpose tool.

Many specific tasks that used to require high-precision machine tools for a long time can now be done with just a few adjustments to the multi-tool.

His modification work took nearly a month to process, install, and debug the counterweight...... Eventually, the finished product came out. On the day of the renovation, everyone came to visit.

Sure enough, the final product still looks a bit like Thor's hammer armor. Gray base color. Thick cuirass, arm armor, leg armor. 93% of the entire body is protected by newly added armor. The new full-body armor weighs a whopping 130 kilograms.

The helmet has also been changed to a new style. It's noticeably thicker than the original, and the structure also looks a bit like a motocross helmet.

If you change the helmet a little more, it will look very much like Mjolnir armor. All key parts of the entire nanosuit are now protected by thick armor.

Like all properly designed armor, the new Armored Nanosuit has the strongest chest and abdomen protection. The armor on the chest is 6 centimeters thick at its thickest point, and even Mass Effect weapons can't penetrate it in a single shot.

There are a total of 9 new armored nanosuits, and the color of each painting is different, so that everyone can quickly distinguish their identities through guò vision.

This is no small matter, the outer armor part of their current armored version of the nanosuit is very thick. Rough looks exactly the same. If the livery is the same, it will be difficult to distinguish their respective identities in the chaos of the battlefield.

Hargrave gave them their nanosuits after a brief unveiling ceremony, and Shen Chao and the others couldn't wait to find a fitting room after listening to Hargrave's safety briefing.

They all wanted to try on their new nano suits quickly and see what improvements they had. Although the thick armor in front of them made it hard for them to believe that these were their original nanosuits.

After putting on it in the fitting room, the first thing Shen Chao felt was that he had become taller, and after wearing the extremely thick armor nano suit, his height instantly changed from an ordinary height of 1.85 meters to 1.94 meters.

The newly added height is mainly due to the increased thickness of the armor on the feet and the helmet. The thick foot armor doesn't add to the sound of walking, as Hargrave said. He walked out of the fitting room as he checked the HUD for new information.

"Wow. We've gotten taller......" Alice was the first to complain as soon as she came out with her armor on, her height increase was not large, and it looked like it was at the same level as when Shen Chao didn't wear a nano suit.

At her request, Hargrave had his assistant paint the outer armor of her nanosuit red, so it was compared to the others' liveries. Alice's nanosuit looks even more conspicuous.

"Me too, I really didn't expect to be ...... taller," Custer also walked out of the fitting room at this time, echoing on the side. His armor was painted black, and the visor with the new structure was simply handsome.

"It's the same here......" Roy walked out as well. His armor is painted in dark green camouflage. Of all people, he should have experienced the feeling of heightening the most.

Because he was already 1.93 meters tall. After wearing this armor-enhanced version of the nanosuit, it becomes close to 2.1 meters in height. It looks like a hill.

"And here......" Jonathan and Dr. Neville also changed into nanosuits and walked out, their armor painted dark blue and white, respectively.

"Don't be surprised too early, check your respective systems, I need to count jù ......" Hargrave, who was dressed in a suit, reminded him with a number board, and several of them checked their respective systems when he said this.

The old man's work in the past month and a half is not only to strengthen the armor level, he has upgraded the multiple systems of this version of the nanosuit, and the actual combat effectiveness of the current armored version of the nanosuit has doubled compared with a month and a half ago.

The first thing to be strengthened is the power supply system. Hargrave naturally knew about Shen Chao's successful case of installing fission batteries on the nanosuit, so he first perfected the design.

It is well known that standard combat armor in the Mass Effect world is powered by only 1 or 2 fission batteries due to weight and energy efficiency.

Hargrave, on the other hand, added 8 fission cells to each of his newly modified armor layers in his nanosuit, greatly increasing the peak energy output.

Such a huge amount of power can almost support the nanosuit to remain hidden forever after being connected to the original system of the nanosuit, and in addition to the new power of the nanosuit, these batteries are also supplied to the shield of the armored version of the nanosuit.

Due to the large total power of the battery, the addition of the new batteries significantly increases the protective limits of the advanced shields connected to these batteries.

According to testing, the level of protection of these shields has been increased to more than 3 times and nearly 4 times the previous level. And Shen Chao's piece has been increased to nearly 8 times the original size.

Why is this piece of his so special? Because Hargrave found the hydrogen fusion battery that Shen Chao brought back from the Terminator world a long time ago in the warehouse.

Although the overall technological level of the Terminator world is not very high, the fusion technology is indeed very high-end, and the output power is 5 times higher than that of military fission batteries in the Mass Effect world.

This fusion battery, the size of a mobile phone, can sustain an internal micro-fusion reactor on a very small microscopic scale.

Combined with the 8 fission batteries that are also found in other armored nanosuits, the energy output to the shield is nearly 14 times that of the original. This makes the shield level on Shen Chao's body rise to the level of the colossus in the game, and he has the attributes of a super meat shield!

"What's going on, is the HUD broken, isn't this shield worth the right?" As soon as Shen Chao started the system self-test, he saw that what was displayed on his HUD was a shield of up to 12,000 points.

And the high-grade shield he originally bought at a high price was only 1500 points. When he saw it, he hurriedly asked Hargrave next to him.

It's not that he hasn't seen a similar ultra-high shield value before, but on a heavily armored vehicle like a hammerhead chariot, when can the shield it be equipped with can be so strong?

"No, your HUD is working fine, it's your battery ......" Hargrave stood next to him and gave a brief overview of the energy supply section.

Due to the fact that several people have increased in height after wearing the armored version of the nanosuit. The old man was standing next to them now, looking much lower than usual.

"Can you strengthen everyone's shields to this level, then?" Shen Chao immediately lowered his head and asked when he heard this, the shield value is an important part of their team's survivability.

When he was in the Mass Effect world before, he had spent a lot of money on the best shield generators he could buy for a few of them.

However, that only raised them to about 10 times the size of their original shields, and they still had to be careful on the battlefield to avoid being hit by enemy fire.

But if they can raise everyone's shields to this level, their combat ability will go up another level. Enemies armed with normal Mass Effect firearms pose a threat to them, reducing the number of Cheng Geometrics.
