The next day, the base underground equipment test site.

The first batch of 154 sets of the 'human exoskeleton battle armor' developed by the Advanced Weapons and Equipment Laboratory were officially handed over to the War Dragon Special Operations Brigade for testing.

Everyone was full of hope, but when the containers were opened one by one, the 'battle armor' displayed on the pylons in turn revealed their true faces, and there was inevitably a sigh in the team.

"Alas, Nima, this is also called a battle armor?"

"Rub, how does it feel like a metal skeleton?"

In the midst of the discussions, more than a dozen scientific researchers standing at the scene were red-faced, and what was handed over this time was really not a 'battle armor', but a more professional academic title, which should be 'human exoskeleton enhancement machinery'.

The first squad was naturally the first to receive the equipment, and as the temporary captain, he must lead by example, and Ling Hao was the first combat personnel to wear the 'battle armor' with the help of scientific researchers.

The so-called 'battle armor' is indeed not 'worthy of the name'.

Unfolded it, it is very similar to a pure mechanical power-assist device that imitates human bones, and the main component is a large number of electric telescopic rods, and when Ling Hao is draped on, it feels like he is wearing a metal shelf on his back, or he is tied to a special humanoid metal frame.

From the wrists to the shoulders, from the heels to the waist, Ling Hao's hands and legs were 'tied' with something similar to a metal rod, and there were more 'metal rods' on the back, and there was a flat hard box in the center, which should be something like a control box.

"How does it feel?" The scientific researcher who helped Ling Hao put on it asked carefully.

Ling Hao didn't answer, but took two steps forward slightly, stepped back back, and then did basic movements such as squatting and jumping, striding left and right.

Shaking his head, Ling Hao replied not satisfied: "It feels very heavy, very heavy!" ”

The scientific researcher, who wears thick glasses and the thickness of the lenses is almost bulletproof, smiled: "I haven't turned on the power yet, it's quite heavy!" ”

As he spoke, he embedded a two-finger-wide reinforced touch LCD screen on the inside of Ling Hao's left arm, and after connecting it to the data interface at the lower part of his wrist, he fixed it as a whole with a ring-mounted metal fastener, as if he had put a thick bracelet on Ling Hao.

"This is the control touch screen, in addition to being responsible for the switch of the system, it is mainly responsible for the power output of the auxiliary power assist ......"

After the introduction, the researchers pressed the power button, and after the LCD screen glowed, the system self-test soon began.

After passing the self-test, the number '100' appears in the top corner of the right side of the screen, which represents 100% of the current energy, and there is a stepped grid in the top corner of the left side, which is similar to a mobile phone signal, but it is currently gray, which means that no communication signal has been obtained for the time being.

The Chinese interface, which occupies the main content of the screen, is relatively simple, with only three menus, namely 'Communication', 'Settings' and 'Uninstall'.

'Setting' is mainly used to control the power output, while 'unloading' is to let the user automatically and quickly disengage from the human body when the user does not want to wear it or runs out of energy.

After a brief introduction, Ling Hao began to try to set the auxiliary power size.

With a power output of ten percent, Ling Hao felt that he could walk easily, as if he was not carrying a heavy 'metal bone'.

Increasing to twenty percent, the effect of gravity seemed to have weakened, and Ling Hao felt like he had 'lost a lot of weight', and he walked a little flutteringly.

When the power was increased to forty percent, Ling Hao was shocked to find that he only needed to make a walking motion, and with the help of the 'metal skeleton', he had already strode forward.

Could it be that the Earth's gravitational pull has become smaller? The onlookers were amazed.

What's even more surprising is that a staff member sent the barbell with a cart, and after adding the barbell plates, the barbell was directly raised to 180 kg.

Suddenly!

The audience was in a sensation, and they couldn't help but say, the eyes of everyone in the whole team were focused on Ling Hao.

Heavy objects under 150 kilograms are still possible for soldiers with good physical fitness, but 180 kilograms is absolutely unthinkable.

The weight of a combat soldier is calculated as 70 kilograms, so the world snatch record for the same level of weight is at most about 165 kilograms.

In other words, a professionally trained 70kg weightlifter would never be able to lift a 180kg weight.

Is Ling Hao okay?

The members of the War Dragon Special Brigade feel incredible, but the scientific researchers are all full of confidence, because they have already done real-life experiments, and the powerless technical otaku can also become a strong man with a 'metal bone'.

After putting on the special 'gloves' with metal bone joints attached, Ling Hao increased the power output to 100 percent, and moved his hands, feeling very flexible and full of metallic texture, giving people a feeling of strength and strength.

Tuning his abdomen, bending his knees, and hunching his waist, Ling Hao took a deep breath, grabbed the bar handle and let out a low shout, and then struggled to lift up.

A strange scene appeared.

Ling Hao managed to snatch a 180-kilogram barbell with great ease, while he felt as if he was only 90 kilograms.

"I ...... I'm rubbing, so cranky! ”

Qian Wei, who is also a mechanical professional, was also shocked.

Of course, there are pros and cons, after putting the barbell down, Ling Hao noticed that the energy was only 85 left, obviously just overloaded weightlifting was too energy-intensive, but the necessary test had to continue.

Picking up a pair of dumbbells weighing a total of 100 kilograms, Ling Hao also walked like a fly, if it weren't for the squeaking sound of the metal bones, he would have mistakenly thought that Ling Hao was originally a strong man.

With Ling Hao as an example, the team members, who were originally a little disgusted and disliked, soon began to happily begin to receive the strange-shaped 'metal bones'.

In less than ten minutes, the 154 members of the team collectively changed their clothes, happily pestering the scientific researchers to ask this and that.

The original intention of the development of this device is to enhance the soldier's battlefield carrying and load-bearing capacity, so as to carry more equipment to carry out combat missions.

After the failure of the first landing and the flood of ants, the laboratory accelerated its research and development progress in order to equip the soldiers with more ferocious automatic weapons and carry more ammunition.

Therefore, the principle of this device is very simple, the soldier's movements are collected through the sensor, and after being processed by the high-speed processor, the fuel cell provides surging power for the electric telescopic rod that gets the command to help the soldier complete various actions.

After receiving the equipment, each team was assigned two scientific researchers to follow the test.

Ling Hao led the first squad to quickly end the underground basic movement test and came to the shooting training ground to prepare for the weapon shooting test.

In the fight against monsters, firepower strikes tend to place more emphasis on 'fast, accurate, and ruthless'.

The response must be faster, more accurate, and lethal enough.

Fighting the army of ants and insects all over the mountains made the troops realize that the continuity of firepower is extremely important, and fighting the giant monster sea lizard from the ocean made the troops realize the ferocity of firepower.

The muzzle velocity of a small-caliber assault rifle is too high, and although the penetration is acceptable, the lethality is insufficient.

The grenade is a melee throwing weapon, and it is difficult to form a mass destruction effect at a throwing distance of thirty or fifty meters, and often the monsters move quickly, and the distance of dozens of meters is gone in the blink of an eye.

As a result, large-caliber and high-velocity weapons were welcomed, especially 12.7 mm heavy machine guns and anti-materiel sniper rifles, 25 mm and 35 mm automatic/multi-barreled high-speed machine guns, 7.62 mm and 12.7 mm multi-barrel rapid-fire machine guns, etc.

These pieces of equipment are known for their large caliber and high rate of fire, and their lethality is powerful, and the two-headed python and giant sea lizard, which are protected by scales, as well as the tyrannosaurus and crocodile behemoths with thick skin, cannot withstand such ferocity.

It's just that......

The crux of the problem lies in the consumption of ammunition, taking the 7.62 mm caliber 6-barrel rapid-fire machine gun as an example, in the face of a tidal army of ants, with a rate of fire of thousands of rounds per minute, it can form an absolute death barrage, which is more than enough to sweep across the area.

But the problem is that in addition to the large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle that can be equipped by individual soldiers, like Ling Hao can also use it as the main weapon, and other terrorist weapons can be used by individual soldiers, which can only be an unrealistic fantasy before this.

Both machine guns and rapid-fire machine guns are typically overweight, far beyond the combat load range of soldiers, not to mention that once they fire, the arrogant and domineering recoil is definitely a nightmare for human musculoskeletal life.

And now, with the assistance of the 'metal skeleton', he couldn't help but try his hand at artillery sniping, so he borrowed Ling Hao's sniper rifle for a refreshing time as soon as possible.

Bang!

Bang bang!

The gunfire exploded and continued.

Directly in a standing position, he picked up the heavy anti-materiel sniper rifle, and quite comfortably pulled the bolt, loaded, and fired one after another, and the powerful recoil was already borne by the 'metal skeleton', and all he needed to do was to keep pulling the trigger.

And Ling Hao went directly to play with the big killer, carrying a 12.7 mm large-caliber heavy machine gun that was originally on the vehicle, and swept wildly at the steel target a few hundred meters away.

The captain and vice-captain both became super soldiers in seconds, and their team members immediately followed suit.

Soon, all the heavy weapons that individual soldiers never dared to toss in the past were pulled up, and Fan Shaohui, who was nicknamed 'rice bucket' but should be called 'meat tower', was the most ferocious.

Carrying a 7.62 mm caliber Gatling rapid-fire machine gun, the crazy strafing fire directly beat a scrapped off-road vehicle to a thousand holes.

And Dai Li, who is keen on cold weapons, took out a sharp machete in his collection, and output the power of the human exoskeleton battle armor to 100 percent.

Of course, Chen Jiaqiang, who studied directional blasting, was not idle, and the grenade he threw violently exploded directly more than 100 meters away, and was thrown directly without the help of assistance, at most about 35 meters.

All kinds of equipment took turns to fight, as if an armored unit was conducting shooting training, machine guns bombarded and bullets rained down like a curtain, with the assistance of the 'human exoskeleton battle armor', everyone seemed to have opened a plug-in, and the combat power was doubled.

In addition to the massive consumption of ammunition and fuel cells, the soldiers were required to wear 'metal skeletons' and complete heavy-duty armed off-roading, swimming, helicopter landing, parachuting, piloting, and more.

After the collective replacement of the third batch of experimental equipment, we finally ushered in the most difficult acceptance subject, actual combat!
