Just now, Zhao Lao introduced the two sides, the old soldier's name is Ma Zhenxing, which he changed his name after participating in the revolution.

"This afternoon, the Ministry of Mechanical and Electrical reported this mechanical exoskeleton, which feels more suitable for military use. Then I will call you and Lao Ma over, and you just communicate face to face", Old Man Zhao said the reason.

"Xiao Li, you also know that the combat characteristics of our army are long-distance attacks, interspersed in a wide area, and need to face high mountains, dense forests, rivers, and climate change. I bring too many things, and I can't run far; The belt is less, the combat firepower output is insufficient, and the survival time is short".

Ma Lao personally popularized the traditions of our army to Li Guocheng, hoping that the designers could understand the situation.

"Listening to Mr. Zhao's introduction today, I feel that as a designer, you should have more ideas and be able to better meet the needs of the army. But I didn't expect you to have the military style in mind. I just felt it, it is very labor-saving to walk, and it is not difficult to carry things. But do you have a better design that can both carry heavy loads and keep your hands free".

"Grandpa, you call the soldier just now, and we'll demonstrate it on the spot."

The old man made a phone call, and the young soldier walked in, and when he saw the old soldier, his mood obviously changed, and he couldn't bear his excitement and saluted everyone.

After Li Guocheng gave a brief explanation, he put the mechanical exoskeleton on the young soldier.

"Ma Lao, look here, press the buckle, you can adjust the height of the upper body; Press this clip to adjust the leg length."

Li Guocheng said, took out a pallet from his bag, asked the soldier to turn around, and with a click, connected the pallet to his crotch, similar to a small table board on a train.

"You see, this pallet can be stowed away. When laid down, a large backpack or luggage can be placed on it. In this way, most of the weight will be transferred to the ground through these connecting rods," explains Li Guocheng, pointing to the location.

Li Guocheng asked the soldier to face the second elder.

"Look at the restraint strap around the waist, you can hang some ammunition or other small items on it. The hip can be hung with a pistol here."

Let the soldiers face the two elders.

"The restraint belt here on the chest can also hang ammunition, so that the weight of the upper body can also be transferred to the ground through the harness and restraint belt."

Li Guocheng explained while installing the detachable pendants one by one.

Ma Lao's eyes lit up when he looked at him, "What is the maximum load?" ”

"With the addition of a full-body pendant, you can carry a weight of 80 kilograms", Li Guocheng gave a relatively conservative data.

"Go and put all the equipment you usually train on this exoskeleton, and then go to the small playground to see the effect", Ma Lao's intention is very obvious, it is a mule or a horse, pull it out and walk.

Old man Zhao watched with a smile all the time, without words.

In less than 20 minutes, the young soldier walked up to a slightly older soldier with two pockets in his jacket.

"Report to the chief, I am the **** squad leader Xiao Bisheng, please instruct."

Ma Lao stood up and saluted solemnly, and then pointed to the heavily armed young soldier and said, "Take him to the small playground and cross the road for 5 kilometers." Then take him back here."

At this time, the young soldier had bullet belts tied to his chest and waist, which were stuffed with magazines; The back is strapped to the quilt, a Type 56 squad machine gun, two drums, a Type 56 rifle, an infantry shovel and a military oil drum of about 20 liters; One left and one right side across a military kettle.

"Yes", the squad leader saluted and ran out with the soldiers.

In less than half an hour, the two ran back, and although the young soldier was sweating all over, he was not tired and his eyes were full of excitement.

"Little comrade, tell me how you feel," Ma Lao asked.

"I can still run 5 kilometers. This exoskeleton is too powerful, and with so much equipment on it, it doesn't feel heavy at all. Not only did it not affect my movements, but it also helped, especially when my feet landed, which had a certain cushioning effect," said the young soldier excitedly.

Ma Lao asked some questions about tactical movements, and the young soldiers answered them one by one, and some actions that were not involved in cross-country were done again, and gave trial feedback. The overall feedback has been positive.

After that, the young man untied the exoskeleton and reluctantly left Zhao's hometown with the equipment with the squad leader.

"Is this exoskeleton expensive?" Ma Lao asked.

"I haven't counted the specific amount, the most expensive is aluminum alloy, and now our domestic production is not low. But even if the price is low, with the current domestic economy, it will only be possible to equip some special troops".

Ma Lao thought of the current army situation and nodded approvingly.

After dinner, Ma Lao said goodbye and left, because there were only samples, Li Guocheng did not let Ma Lao take him away under the pretext of surveying and mapping the size.

At this time, there were only Li Guocheng and Old Man Zhao in the study.

"I saw that you wanted to stop talking just now, is there anything wrong?"

The old man's observation was really meticulous, and when it came to equipping the troops, Li Guocheng hesitated a little and was discovered.

"There are some ideas, but I don't know whether to say it in front of Ma Lao, so I don't say much," Li Guocheng pondered.

"Let's hear it", Old Man Zhao deliberately encouraged in a relaxed tone.

"At present, the principle of our army building is revolutionization, regularization, and modernization, but in fact, it cannot be separated from the tactics of crowds and tank clusters."

Li Guocheng looked at the old man's natural expression, and thought about the next dose of fierce medicine.

"If there is such a unit, the number of people does not exceed 20, all the elite of the army, all equipped with mechanical exoskeletons, which include sharpshooters, assaulters, firefighters, scouts and intelligence officers. Isn't it terrifying that such a force can survive, infiltrate, fight, and conceal. ”

Looking at the old man's frightened expression, Li Guocheng did not restrain and continued to output.

"If you parachute behind enemy lines, strike at key points and withdraw with one blow. There is chaos in the rear of the enemy, can the front last? What would be the consequences if more such troops were airborne? What are the consequences if the decapitation is carried out directly against an important enemy person? ”

The old man came from the war years and understands the consequences very well.

Now every army has a reconnaissance company, and because of the supply difficulties, they actually dare not go too deep. But if everyone is a small material warehouse, how terrible is the ability to survive. If we add in the material delivery of the receiving troops, the destructive power of such a force is even more unimaginable.

The old man didn't know what to say anymore, and tried to refute it several times, but was deterred by his own deduction. He thought that even if he did not go deep behind enemy lines, as long as such a small force gave the enemy's military coordinates and guided the artillery, the destructive power would be unimaginable.

In the past, everyone did not use this as a regular tactic, and the main reason was the poor survivability of personnel who went deep behind enemy lines. They must stay away from human settlements, otherwise any clues will be discovered by enemy scouts.

"Then you just ... Hey, too. The current situation in the army no longer allows for such a large-scale reform, this is a new operational thinking, and we can only wait for the future", Old Man Zhao was a little depressed.

"We are still young," Li Guocheng said without shame.

"Hahaha... , The old man laughed loudly, as if the unswerving just now had disappeared.
