[Unofficial update: In order to solve the problem that everyone has no decent clothes to wear until the beta version, Boss Xia, who has been practicing in retreat for nearly a year, finally held back his big move and designed a new set of power armor for everyone that is easy to produce!]

This Power Armor is no longer available in limited quantities, and can be purchased when you reach the Contribution Level of "Trainee Knight"!

Armor codenames are now being solicited, and everyone is welcome to vote! 】

[P.S. 2: (Picture) (Picture) (Picture)] Tail: "Giao! Power Armor!!"

The mole on the run in the canyon: "The thick steel shell, the streamlined arc of armor, like an iron giant! In particular, the combination of strength and agility is more like a champion in the boxing ring than a 'champion'! Hiss—my DNA is moving!!"

Quit smoking: "it!"

Night Ten: "You summed up the mole brother's sycophants in one sentence, how can he continue to pretend to be forced. (funny)

Tempest: "(squinting)"

Irena: "I'll vote for 'raven' (funny)."

Elven King Fugui: "Type, huh? Fast forward to the Horus Rebellion, where the Administrators are on a killing spree. (funny)

Commander of the Spring: "Just call it 'Storm,' that's a good name, huh.

Edge paddling: "Fuck off! Why isn't it called 'death'?"

The mole at the run: "Ahem, your bird's name is so unlucky,

Let's call it 'Skeleton'."

Edge paddling: "??? Your bird's name is auspicious?"

Silver Daddy: "Be quiet! Let's be quiet! Listen to me! Let's make a compromise and call it 'Silver'?"

Silver Sword: "Fuck off! It's too much of a name."

Silver Hand: "+1, don't take the name of the spicy chicken."

Daddy Silver: "Gan!"

Makabazi: "Hahahaha!"

I want to be quiet: "? Did someone call me just now?" Siss: "Well, what about 'magma'?"

Tail: "!! It sounds weird, but it's better to call it a big bear. （／／／／／／）」

Fujito: "......?"

Siss: "Oh, it's Ah O, the wheel has run over his face before he comes to his senses. （）」

Roshan Big Bun: "What are you talking about, why I don't understand it at all. QAQ」

"Ahaha...... Haha......"

Jiujiu loves pineapple: "Why don't you call it canned, it looks like a tin can!"

Raven: "When you say that, I suddenly feel like a mushroom. 0.0」

C really has mosquitoes: "MMP! Chill the breath! This thing has one more fusion core than Lao Tzu's design, why doesn't anyone look at me!! (Angry)

Luo Yu: "Are you sure that the thing you designed is only one fusion core away???

"I testify that it is not bad at all, but it is the strength of the animal. (funny)

Makabazi: "Hahahaha!"

In Xizhou City, on the edge of Camp 101 sits a heavily guarded factory.

Unlike other facilities in the vicinity with a strong academic atmosphere, the factory is not only surrounded by wire rings, but also surveillances cover every inch of the soil leading to the central building.

However, in stark contrast to the strict security on the outside, the layout of the interior of the factory is quite arbitrary, even sloppy.

More than a dozen discarded shipping containers sit haphazardly on an open space the size of half a football field, with rusty brackets and hooks hanging from three-story ceilings.

From time to time there was a thumping sound and dazzling sparks.

It's not because the factory is assembling anything, it's because two power armors, armed to the teeth and painted blue and red on the shoulder armor, are engaged in a fierce firefight.

The heavy steel shell, streamlined

Curved armor and a compact design with power and speed!

It is the new equipment of this "Unofficial Update" - codename "DLZJ-1"!

Outlaw Maniac: "Oooo Die!"

I'm in charge of dying first: "Da Da Da!! Grass, if you want to kill Lao Tzu, you're too tender!"

The tracer light of rifle bullets swirled between bunkers, leaving thumb-sized bullet holes in the containers, but striking the power armor's breastplate left only scratches the size of fingernails.

It is difficult for an average 7 rifle cartridge to break through the defenses of power armor even if it empties a magazine.

At the very least, it would have to be fired continuously with 7 full-power rounds or 12 heavy machine guns to make it accumulate enough metal fatigue.

However, the two sides of the exchange of fire can be described as evenly matched.

Optimistic is to have their own rules, not optimistic is the dish

Chickens peck at each other.

The two sides poured thousands of bullets at each other suddenly, but the turtle shell was too thick, and no one could help anyone.

In a sense, although their performance in combat is not skilled, it also reflects the superiority of the new equipment in terms of defensive performance.

Even first-time soldiers wearing this power armor will be able to take an hour's shower in the rain of bullets with the all-round protection provided by the power armor.

However, the experiment has been carried out for so long, and the ammunition consumed has already exceeded the budget, and the person in charge of the test equipment quickly ordered to enter the final link.

The pop-up window of [Supply Refresh] popped up on the holographic eyepieces of the red and blue helmets, and at the same time, the markers refreshed on the tactical map.

At the same time, a case with only a weapon tag detached from the hook lock and fell from the ceiling support.

Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately pounced on the nearest supply crate and slammed the lock with a punch.

Looking at the large-caliber blaster lying in the box, his face instantly rose to ecstasy, and he reached out and copied it in his hand.

"Hahaha! Xiaofa, don't blame Dad for being polite, open your mouth to taste this thing!

Seeing the guy in his hand, the outlaw fanatic who was still holding an assault rifle was instantly shocked.

"Damn!? Are you really playing?!" I was responsible for smiling and pulling the trigger. "Death!"

The muzzle of the gun spewed out a thick tongue of fire, and the flickering tracer light was like a scurrying python, which frightened the outlaw fanatics to flee to the side in a hurry.

19 The armor-piercing projectile left more than an eye on the target, and the sparks that burst out were like molten iron on a forge.

I was responsible for pulling the trigger first and emptying the entire magazine, although unfortunately the shuttle only hit one shot.

The outlaw maniac who was shot in the chest let out a cry of pain, but soon found himself alive.

The metal jet released by the armor-piercing projectile penetrated the first layer of armor without any suspense, leaving a fragmented hole in the cuirass.

However, as the metal jet poured through the gap in the first layer of armor to the second layer, almost all of its energy was discharged.

Although the explosive arrow bullet is the same principle as the armor-piercing projectile, after all, it still can't catch up with the caliber of RPG and recoilless gun armor-piercing projectiles, and the metal jet will also pierce the iron sheet of the armored vehicle and the chest of the mutant, and the power armor will depend on which part it hits.

The defense of the cuirass is undoubtedly the strongest!

The outlaw fanatic was instantly shocked by the set of equipment on his body and the black technology of "Wasteland Online".

Boy.

The cuirass of this individual armor is unexpectedly made into gap armor!

If this protection were to be put aside in reality, it would be a proper humanoid Gundam!

Relieving himself from the impact of the armor-piercing shells, the outlaw fanatics swore and swore and got up from the ground, picking up the bazookas they had picked up from the supply crates in the confusion.

The streamlined barrel body is equipped with a holographic cross-lens with a very sci-fi sense, and he quickly completed the lock, and soon heard the Didi reminder from the headset.

「MMP！ You're all good at shooting shotguns, but don't blame my brother for being ruthless!

Looking at the thick bazooka and changing the magazine, I was in charge of dying first, and I was instantly stunned.

"! Pigeon missile?! Wait—"

"Wait for a chicken feather, go die one by one!" The outlaw maniac grinned and pulled the trigger.

The white tail flame erupted, creating a meteor-like trajectory in the small factory, which was not at all as slow as the missile in the movie, and flew in front of me in an instant.

If it's an agility department, maybe there will be a chance to dodge, but it's a pity that he's a physique player, and he has no other strengths than fighting beatings.

The flames of the explosion instantly obscured his vision, and the scorching shock wave easily blew him away, slamming into the container several meters behind him.

An alarm was heard in my ears and in front of my eyes at the same time.

【Warning! The armor is badly damaged! The power, internal circulation, and health monitoring systems were paralyzed, and the ability to continue fighting was completely lost. 】

As soon as I saw this line of red letters, I was in charge of dying first with blood in my mouth, and I was in a hurry, and I scolded, and I touched the switch of [Forced Exit].

"Shut up! Lao Tzu can still fight! However, the switch is locked.

He simply couldn't get out of the power armor.

The battlefield analysis program seems to have completed the decision of victory, believing that he has lost his ability to move, and then a holographic pop-up window appears on his tactical eyepiece.

[The game is over, and Red wins.] 【Victor ID: Outlaw Maniac】

The same words are projected before the eyes of the outlaw fanatics.

Although there was not a single spectator around, he raised the individual rocket launcher in his hand in ecstasy and let out a cheer of victory.

"Whoa!!"

At the same time, a series of pop-ups appeared on his VM.

[Mission accomplished!] 】

[Reward: 50 credits, 50 contribution points.] 【Winner's Bonus: 50 Credits】

Looking at the rewards that had already arrived, the outlaw fanatic's face showed a satisfied smile, and his heart was happy.

This mission is also very cool!

Not only can you be the first to experience new equipment worth millions of silver coins, but you can also have an "exciting" battle with your good brothers on the training ground, and you will also be rewarded with silver coins and contributions!

Really.

It's still good to lick the manager from time to time and brush up on favorability!

At the same time, in the observation area next to the plant, a group of engineers and technicians were busy summarizing the test data.

Several engineers from the Great Stone Military Industry were standing together and whispering to each other.

"The protection of this armor is still very good...... All performances meet the lower limit standards for power armor.

"It's just a little lacking in mobility."

"It may be a problem with the lack of a battlefield guidance system...... This will require a higher quality of individual soldiers than wartime models such as 'Dragoons' and 'Champions'."

"The user shows an emotional reaction in battle...

This equipment is suspected to cause excessive mental activity in the user.

"This can be included in the report, but it remains to be seen...... After all, that's what those guys do when they're testing other weapons."

"Incredible...... The Alliance has engineers who can design power armor?"

"I heard that the designer is a resident of Boulder City."

"Impossible! I haven't heard of anyone like that! The Great Stone Military Industry also does not have a production line for power armor! There is only one repair line left!

"Anyway...... It's really amazing."

Strictly speaking, there are no experts in the field of "power armor" in Camp 101, and there are only materials ranging from "holographic imaging" to "carbon-based chips" to "high-sensitivity motors" and "composite armor".

and so on.

They are like pieces of a puzzle, stored separately

When it's on the hard drive, it's a piece of data that doesn't move, and when you put it together, it's a brand new piece of equipment.

Xia Yan, who designed this set of armor, did not actually develop new technology, but more based on his own understanding of weapons and the battlefield environment in the wasteland, as well as learning new knowledge, and put these fragments together like a puzzle.

She used both materials kept in Vault 101 and technology recovered by the expedition from the remains of evolutionary bodies recovered by the players.

The weapons engineers from the Great Stone Military Industry were amazed by the craftsmanship of the Alliance engineers, but in fact this was not a miracle accomplished by a single person, but a "garbage picking system" that covered everything from "technology recycling" to "technology classification" to "technology reuse".

In this system of clear division of labor, there is only a minimum requirement for the individual's ability, and the work of any one person is minimal.

Although at the same time, it is indispensable.

Looking at Xia Yan, who was holding her arms around her face and unconsciously biting her fingernails with her right fist against her lips, the corners of Chu Guang's mouth couldn't help but curl up a little, and he encouraged her softly.

"Be confident, this is the result of your hard work."

Noticing the gaze on the side, Xia Yan's cheeks involuntarily turned red.

"I feel like I need to be more resistant to explosions...... In the previous test, too, the gap armor had been used, but the effect against the armor-piercing bullet was still not ideal."

Chu Guang joked with a smile.

"After all, it's a pigeon missile, it's enough to deal with tanks, if you let it be so easy to prevent, the Boulder Military Industry can go bankrupt on the spot."

"I know......" Xia Yan muttered, her eyes hooked

Staring at the screen, he muttered to himself, "Maybe I'm greedy...... I just feel a little unwilling.

Looking at her stubborn expression, Chu Guang didn't speak, but felt a little sorry for her.

Thinking about it, this equipment really put a lot of effort into her, so much so that Boss Xia, who has always been very arrogant, rarely showed a rare worry about gains and losses on his face.

However, he is not a professional after all, and he cannot help in professional matters.

But at this moment, Chu Guang suddenly had an idea, and thought of the "explosive design" of the "Type 2 non-powered armor" that the mosquito had recently made.

Seizing the inspiration that emerged at this moment, he subconsciously blurted out.

"How about adding an active defense mechanism? For example, reactive armor. 「

Xia Yan, who heard this, was stunned. "Reactive armor?"

"Hmm!"

Chu Guang nodded on a whim, drew his index finger, and briefly introduced the concept of reactive armor to her.

"To put it simply, it actively detonates the warhead when the enemy warhead is approaching. Like what...... Sensing the approach of a weapon such as a rocket through infrared or electromagnetic waves, it detonates the reactive module attached to the armor shell and releases fragments to destroy it."

This mode of defense is common on modern tanks, second only to the low-cost grille armor, but it is quite rare in the equipment of the People's Alliance.

The reason is very simple, after the Federation of People entered the era of prosperity, all military conflicts on the earth have basically ended, and there are no signs of military conflicts outside the earth.

In that unique golden age, human civilization focused almost all of its creativity and productivity on the exploration of a new era and a new life. And weapons are things that need to be right both offensively and defensively

It is impossible for the mutual promotion of resistance and China to appear out of thin air without any demand, and related research will naturally stagnate.

From the power armor running on the ground to the starship flying in the sky, in fact, it was all completed in a short period of time before the outbreak of the three-year war.

As an imaginary enemy and an actual target, the colonial rebels relied mainly on biotechnology, so there was no need for the People's Federation to install a redundant "anti-Monroe effect" armor on its tanks and individual armor.

Therefore, whether it is a "champion" or a "dragoon"

, its all-round armor is mainly aimed at conventional ammunition fired by small arms, xenomorphic venom, poison gas, stingers, phalanxes and fangs, as well as its own nuclear weapons, etc.

The protection of this individual armor is indeed beyond words, but it is not fully adapted to the extreme chaos of the wasteland where "even a marauder can pull out a tactical nuclear bomb".

This is probably the point where companies have the most say.

Although the Iron Fist Bazooka installed on a large scale of the Legion is not outstanding, it still poses a considerable threat to the power armor of the enterprise. Paired with low-cost clone troops, it almost overturned the luxuriously equipped Pioneer defense force.

To a large extent, this is because power armor is not designed to deal with "obsolete weapons" such as armor-piercing bullets at all.

In order to cope with the war scenario in the wasteland, the Alliance needs to inject a bit of new military concepts into the ancient power armor.

Of course, installing reactive armor on power armor is just a brain hole generated by Chu Guang for a while, mainly to replace the portable bias guide shield that is completely unconditionally produced, as for whether it will work or not, it still has to go through rigorous experimental demonstration.

However, looking at the contemplative expression on Xia Yan's face, Chu Guang felt that this design idea should also have a certain reference value.

"Hmm...... I feel like I can give it a try, but this design has no precedent at all, and I'm not sure if it's good or not."

Looking at Xia Yan, who was still hesitating and hesitating, Chu Guang smiled faintly and said in a patient tone.

"Be bold and try, the problem we are facing today is itself something that was not conceived two centuries ago, and you can't expect to find the answer from a reference book."

"We need to reclaim the wisdom of the old times from the ruins, but it shouldn't be the only option. I suggest you look for inspiration from Goblin Tech when you're fine, the guy named Mosquito is a little out of the box, but he actually sees the problem and thinks about how to solve it."

"Okay, okay, I know, I'll try it later......" Putting down the arms he was holding, Xia Yan, who was no longer entangled, stretched his waist.

When she said this, she had already regained her strength.

But for some reason, she was already cheering up, but suddenly looked to the side again, and muttered muttered sullenly.

"Can you not do that...... Always talk to me in the tone of an elder, and you are not my father.

Although she didn't hate the gentle encouragement, and even liked it a little, every time the guy spoke, she felt like she was being treated like a child.

She couldn't tell why. I just don't like it.

Looking at Xia Yan, who was suddenly awkward, Chu Guang immediately realized that his tone was a little too serious.

Perhaps the overlap between the place of work and the place of life is too high, and he occasionally unconsciously brings work into his life.

It's really not good to be like this with someone you know well.

However, it was rare to see such a cute side of Boss Xia, and Chu Guang still couldn't help but tease.

"I didn't expect you to see me like that."

"You, what stupid thing are you talking about, the devil is looking at you like that!"

His face turned red like a lantern, Xia Yan glared at him fiercely, baring his teeth and grinning, and his expression was almost eager to pounce on him and bite him.

Chu Guang didn't expect a ridicule of "sneering at each other" to let him

Seeing her smiling expression, Chu Guang suddenly felt a little uneasy, and couldn't help but remind her.

"Don't tell me to call mom, grandpa, grandma or anything, let's be normal...... Don't let the enemy be afraid, at least don't laugh."

If you really call these non-lethal names, you are afraid that the enemy will die of laughter.

"What are you talking about? I'm seriously thinking how I can come up with that kind of joking name."

Xia Yan rolled her eyes angrily, cleared her throat vigorously, and tried to make a serious expression, but the curvature of the corners of her mouth still revealed the pleasure in her heart.

Not really

It must be to make the enemy fearful and afraid.

It can also be a solid and powerful hope for fellow citizens.

This is also the path to victory.

At the same time, as a "mother", she expects it. "Let's call it 'Kasumi'!"
