Chapter 44: Disparity in Power
Standing on the operating table, watching the armor of the "Marine Infantry" being delivered to him by a robotic arm, Britz was both excited and nervous.
According to Selena, he is the first person to try this set of armor, and all the first firsts are milestones and very memorable.
Putting on the force feedback power skeleton and putting on the outer armor, the retinal projection device in the helmet has already begun to work, and the armor on Britz's head is like it doesn't exist, and he can look directly into the world outside the helmet.
"It feels...... It's incredible! Britz looked at his hand, and under the control of his palm, each finger on the armored arm could move as he wanted.
"Britz, please follow my instructions and do the following." Selena's voice came from the communicator, and after Susie left, she was in charge of various scientific research projects in the base.
After some tests, the parameters of the armor of the "Marine Infantry" were basically obtained.
"It's like a second skin, it's the same as if I didn't, I almost thought I was like this." Britz said with some exaggeration.
Whether it is a multi-legged vehicle or a space engineering vehicle, there is finally a kind of "driving" experience in it.
But wearing the "Marine Infantry" armor is like wearing an extra piece of clothing, and there are no other abnormalities at all, if it weren't for the food, drink, and Lazar, Britz feels like he can stay in the armor for the rest of his life.
"Well, Britz, it's up to you to guide you in the fitting and use of the armor." Selena pointed to a long platoon of "marine" armor behind her and said, "Let's get ten sets first, you pick a group of people to try." β
Of course, in the process of armor attempt, the weapons still had to be used separately, and the power of the electromagnetic nail stab gun was too terrifying, and Selena did not distribute them to the workers for the time being.
The group of Britz's men is now developed, although the indicators of space engineering vehicles have not been assigned, but the "Marine Infantry" armor is almost a piece of their hands.
After putting on the armor of the "Marine Infantry", these workers are like rabbits, jumping around the base in armor, frantically showing off their new treasures.
As a purely powered exoskeleton armor, the "Marine Infantry" armor is still very durable, and it is also very dexterous and convenient.
During the smooth patrol phase, the "Marine Infantry" armor can maintain a movement speed of fifty kilometers per hour, and in an emergency, this speed can be doubled.
In addition to the electromagnetic nail stabbing gun, the power output of the armor itself is also considerable, and it can easily move a ton of objects.
It's a good piece of labor, you can wear it to work on a regular basis, and this shell can also protect the operator from trauma while working, which is convenient and hassle-free.

April, who came to the "Journey to the Underworld" for night school, soon found that there were a number of big iron men wandering around.
After inquiring, she learned that this was a new mechanical shell.
Compared to the space engineering vehicle, this mechanical shell is more like combat armor, and after some inquiry, as she expected, this is combat armor.
"Miss Mamie, can you provide more information about these combat armors?" April, sensing that the armor would be very important, leaned in and asked.
Mamie replied: "This is our newly produced 'Marine Infantry' individual combat armor, which can be controlled by ordinary people, why don't you try it after class?" β
This proposal was exactly what Aprile intended, and after trying out the armor of the "Marine Infantry", she immediately came to the conclusion that it would be an epoch-making combat weapon.
Very simple operation, terrifying power of mechanical output, and flawless defense in all aspects.
Once this armor appears on the battlefield, it means that it is crushed one-sidedly, all offensive means are almost ineffective against it, and all defenses are useless for it.
"Miss Mamie, my manufacturing ability, I am getting more and more incomprehensible, there are new things almost every day, it's really incredible." She also learned to hold each other first.
Mamie smiled and said, "This is all a gift from the Lord, and we never thought that we would be able to build so many incredible machines." β
Aprile asked, "This armor looks quite complicated, I wonder how it will be produced?" β
Mamie shrugged: "I don't know about this, now the production in the base is managed by Selena......"
"But depending on the situation, the output should be quite high, such a set of armor consumes much less materials than space engineering vehicles."
April continued, "So, this armor looks like it's defensive, didn't you equip it with offensive weapons?" Like a spear or something? β
Mamie laughed: "April, you will really underestimate us, for us, cold weapons have basically been eliminated. β
"The 'Marine Infantry' armor has its own weapon system, which is what you saw earlier, similar to the long-range projection weapons on combat vehicles."
"However, for safety reasons, these weapons are usually placed separately from the armor. Now we are still getting acquainted with the armor phase, the specific weapons exercises, which are ready to be carried out in the next stage. β
The news that April got this trip was explosive, and the military combat effectiveness of the previous "Trip to the Underworld" was mainly focused on the multi-legged mechanical combat vehicle, but now there is this set of "Marine Infantry" armor, and it will not take many days to almost make everyone a soldier.
King Hobrands and the Pope's fears were indeed correct, and the "trip to the dead" was not only expanding in the area of the base, but also in terms of combat capabilities.
Aprile suddenly felt very powerless, even the cardinal, she was powerless in the face of these mechanical forces.
If the "Journey to the Underworld" really wanted to invade Hoblens, even if the power of the entire Holy See and the Kingdom were combined, they could only be easily crushed by them.
"Fran, Teadust, Catherine, and Mamie, they're all nice and nice people, they wouldn't do anything like that, would they?"
Aprile also knew that her idea was too naΓ―ve, but all she could do now was hope that the "Lord" who believed in the "Journey to the Underworld" was a benevolent "god" who would not attack Hoblens.
"But if they make more and more radical demands, how do we respond?" April wrote down his concerns in a daily report letter, which he handed over to the messenger who had returned to the Vulcan Church.
