25 per cent for option I, 8.3 per cent for option two, 33.3 per cent for option three and 33.3 per cent for option four.

……

[Option 3]

【Pressed Large Bipedal Power Armor】

Description: Single-person carrying of the military. It has the strongest point-to-point combat ability, which is suitable for individual assault and formation tearing operations.

[Option 4]

【Jumper-type Large Bipedal Power Armor】

Description: Single-person carrying of the military. Space maneuverability and space strike capabilities are weak, but it has shipboard combat specialization, which is usually used to invade large enemy ships.

……

[Vote] gave the answer "As long as it's a large bipedal power armor, it's good". Zheng Zhuo began to choose according to this direction.

(Some assault capabilities...... Plus some intrusive capabilities...... ）”

Zheng Zhuo finally selected a trial machine. This large bipedal power armor is not a standard pressed or jumping type, but has been modified to a certain extent on the basis of the skeleton of the suppressed type, removing part of the solid fuel that is connected to ensure endurance, and replacing the jet propulsion device behind it with a smaller equivalent. In exchange, it installs a number of components that only jump gangs can provide. Such as high-heat cutting rays, high-compression ejection obstacles, hacking learning programs for circuits in the cabin, and so on.

These components do not have any role in space warfare. They were equipped to cope with possible shipboard battles.

As a result, the prototype was not put into mass production. The reason is simple: its features are not obvious enough and are too general.

The simulation results show that in 98.43% of cases, the effect of one pressing type and one jumping type acting together will be much better than that of two such hybrid types.

So why spend the same or even more materials and energy to make this new hybrid? This was seen as a failed attempt.

But Zheng Zhuo is different now.

He now needs one person to do both kinds of work.

And this prototype was originally created for this situation.

"That's you."

Zheng Zhuo swiped his ID card.

【…… Iris Authentication ...... Finish. 】

【…… Pivot Authentication ...... Finish. 】

【…… Rationing, modification, fuel and ammunition stock checks...... Finish. 】

【……】

A series of green indicators appeared and disappeared on the inside of Zheng Zhuo's helmet. With a soft sound, the screen showed that the [Suppression-Jump Hybrid] large bipedal power armor codenamed [Earl Huntington] was officially assigned to the [187th Legion: Black Fury] [Number: AL0T-272] Deputy Non-commissioned Officer Zheng Zhuo.

Zheng Zhuo also ran to the bridge at this time.

Instead of going to the assembly point, he jumped directly into the outer exposed elevator and descended to the combat readiness cabin on the ground floor.

The view widens as the elevator descends. This is the abdominal cavity of the [Biochemical Heart] flagship. Rebars, pipes, and creeping bones float slowly as the ship "breathes".

Zheng Zhuo saw at a glance the green, white, black and gold four colors of [Earl Huntington]. Its livery is different from most of the large gray-black bipedal power armor. This is a special coating for the prototype machine.

"Docking."

Zheng Zhuo gave the order. Countless manipulators and mechanical tracks are put into operation. The Cluster Saber was inserted into the left and right sides of Earl Huntington's crotch, and the large integrated ray gun was placed on its back.

The wires connected to the arms and legs are snapped in order, and the feet are connected to the ejection pedals.

The Earl of Handington is approaching Zheng Zhuo. When it stopped in front of him, the cockpit on the chest opened.

Zheng Zhuo jumped in.

"The driver is in position. Access. ”

In an instant. All the numbers in Zheng Zhuo's helmet disappeared. Instead, a dense three-dimensional projection appeared in the cockpit.

All the data was typed in more detail into the inner compartment of the large bipedal power armor. In addition to this, there are countless indicators of this power armor itself.

The cockpit canopy closes slowly.

After a moment of darkness, the exterior scene is projected on the back of the stereoscopic projection.

In a way that has been heavily scaled.

"Accessed."

Zheng Zhuo put his hand in the middle of the adaptive EEG position.

"Sortie."

The track lights are on. Also lit up is the output indicator of the power system. The hatch in front of it slowly opened, and the launch track shimmered with a silvery white metallic glow in the light of cosmic glare.

Zheng Zhuo pushed the hand on the sensing position.

The first stage of the ejection acceleration cable with the pedal behind the back was successfully cut.

The Earl of Handington flew forward along the track.

The G-force is getting bigger and bigger. All of Earl Handington's keys, parts, and armor vibrated non-stop.

The feeling of oppression squeezed Zheng Zhuo's internal organs.

However, he has been genetically modified by the Zerg. For him, the squeezing of G-force is like soaking in warm water and massage, without any pain.

Rather, it increases the secretion of adrenaline.

The lights for the secondary propulsion are on.

The second stage of the ejection pedal was cut off.

The Earl of Handington was thrown into the universe like a green bullet in the interstellar chamber.

Zheng Zhuo stared at the kinetic energy indicator on the screen. Sensing that the kinetic energy had been fully released, he gave the order again.

"Jet propulsion unit opens."

Blue flames erupted from the back of the Earl of Handington. It transitioned to autonomous flight mode and plunged into a starfield burning with war.

……

Dodge, engage, shoot, cut, assault.

Zheng Zhuo avoided possible battles as much as possible. And for the unavoidable battle, he chooses to break away as soon as possible in a way that consumes less energy.

His goal is clear.

Get as close as you can to the place where those ships are missing.

"Radar imagery counts as the first priority."

In the cockpit, a radar map projected by the flagship appeared in the forefront. Zheng Zhuo's radio signaling device is also very effective inside the power armor: the radar map is transmitted quickly and clearly.

He saw that most of the remaining reconnaissance ships and combat ships were retreating.

And there was a blank space ahead.

A blank slate?

Zheng Zhuo had an idea.

He went against all the retreating battleships and burst into the empty space.

The other support ships were not as decisive as Zheng Zhuo.

He was the first to arrive.

Therefore, he was the first to notice the anomaly.

“……”

The radar pattern began to blur. A rustling murch was captured in the frequency band.

If he hadn't been in the information class, Zheng Zhuo might have thought that he had encountered some kind of cosmic ghost.

But now, he knew what it was.

It was the sound of the signal being jammed close to the interstellar camouflage paint.

There are stealth warships here. It was only after the end of the Star Field battle that it quietly jumped forward.

It......

Suddenly, a red light flashed on the radar.

Zheng Zhuo quickly pulled the camera closer.

He saw a small dot several light-years away. White. It was identified as a battleship of the corps.

There's some kind of invisible structure tugging at it. It was sent in a certain direction......

And then it was gone.

From the radar map and the camera, it's gone.

The vanishing gesture did not feel like it was torn apart or destroyed......

It was as if there was some kind of barrier blocking it in front of it.

“……”

Zheng Zhuo suddenly realized what it was.

How could he not have thought of it?

[Biochemical Heart] has the function of "predation" after transformation, and this function was developed by Feng after learning Zerg technology.

So, that's it......

Zerg are also capable of "preying" on warships.

Prey on our ships.

【Question】

[Spotted in front of a large battleship cloaked in cloak.] How do I act? 】

[Option 1]

[Make a detour on the outside, suppress the firepower, and wait for the other combat ships in the rear to strike together]

[Option 2]

[Rush to the location where the ship disappeared just now, use the high-heat cutting ray to open the hull, and forcibly jump]

[Option 3]

[Go around to the rear, give up the frontal battlefield to other battleships in the future, and wait for the opportunity to find more battleships that may exist and have not yet been completely preded]
