Even with the IVF technology developed by Inas, it is by no means easy to reduce the high cost of use and even completely popularize it.

Taking a step back, even if IVF technology successfully enters the thousands of households in Quel'Thalas, the fertility rate of the High Elves is still far from comparable to that of short-lived species such as humans and orcs.

This is limited by the laws of nature, and cannot be reversed by human beings, or rather...... Sarean didn't want to, and didn't dare to turn it around, too much.

There is a reason why the fertility rate of the natural restriction of the long-lived species is low, and Sarian has already explained the issue of resource allocation to the high-level Quel'Salas led by the Sun King, so I will not repeat it here.

All in all, the national policy of limiting the fertility rate of the High Elves has long been unanimously agreed by the royal family and the cabinet.

Since Quel'Thalas's population growth is not fully elevated, there is no need to change much of the elite military policy that has been in place for many years.

In view of this, when Salian commissioned the National Defense Research Institute to conduct research on individual exoskeleton armor, he specifically mentioned that the first version of the testing machine did not need to worry too much about the finished product, at least build a finished product and try it out.

Once the test is passed, the subsequent mass production and cost reduction issues will be officially put on the agenda.

Quel'Thalas is the most advanced mortal nation in Azeroth's magical civilization, and the High Elf researchers will not study their armor in the direction of the stupid black and thick of humans.

Defense? Wouldn't it be nice to make up for it with magic.

The various types of armor of the active soldiers of Quel'Salas have a common design idea - lightweight.

After Dongdu came to settle in the Yongge Forest, the tall body of the upper elves, who were originally about 2 meters, gradually shrunk, and they became the current high elves, and their physical fitness also decreased significantly.

As the saying goes, there must be gains and losses, and the High Elves have exchanged the reduction of physical fitness for a stronger arcane affinity, and overall it is not a loss.

Even High Elf warriors can use their racial talent to confuse their enemies with a few arcane tricks, an innate talent that has long been carved into the blood of the High Elves.

In order to increase the defense of human soldiers as much as possible, they can only increase the thickness of their armor, which naturally leads to an increase in the weight of the armor and reduces the flexibility of the armored soldiers.

And because of the very real problem of military spending, not all human soldiers are qualified to wear thick armor.

The wealthy Quel'Thalas was able to wear all his armor, and the armor of the High Elf soldiers was much lighter than the standard armor of the human kingdoms.

In addition to being rich enough in his own right, Quelsellas has always pursued a lean army policy is also one of the reasons, and the investment required to arm 1 million soldiers and 100,000 soldiers is obviously not the same.

When the National Defense Research Institute developed the exoskeleton armor, it was no surprise that it followed the lightweight design ideas that Quel'Salas had always had.

The whole exoskeleton armor is roughly composed of two parts, one is the lightweight armor worn directly on the soldier, and the other is the exoskeleton kit used to assist the soldier.

According to the barrage, the exoskeleton armor they know uses a portable energy source called a battery.

Salian is not a scientist, his knowledge of electrical energy is only superficial, and he only knows that this is a clean energy source that has long been commonplace among sand sculpture netizens in another world.

Due to the differences in civilization between the two worlds, Sarjan does not intend to invest too much energy in the research and development of electricity, and there are also clean energy arcane energy as a substitute anyway.

However, Sarjan still absorbed some of the ideas provided by the barrage, and he commissioned the research institute to research an energy reservoir called mana lattice in advance, which has the same purpose as the battery mentioned by the barrage.

The so-called mana lattice is to highly compress the arcane mana and inject it into a specific restraint container, and in actual use, the mana lattice can be freely adjusted according to the needs of the mana lattice's own auxiliary functions.

As soon as the technology was introduced, it quickly spread to the entire army of Quel'Thalas.

From magic rifles to tanks and even spaceships that are being researched in collaboration with the Draenei, they can all be charged with modular mana lattices, and it's just a matter of how much mana is invested.

The first exoskeleton armor testing mechanism naturally used a mana lattice to provide energy.

With the help of Valrant's dedicated researchers, Salaen quickly put on the full set of armor.

Sarren didn't bother to add an exoskeleton, he kept his armor and tried to move in place, nodding in satisfaction.

"Basically, it won't prevent me from making all kinds of tactical moves, and the whole set of armor is only about ten pounds, how is its defensive power?"

Kanter Boning, the lead researcher on the exoskeleton armor project, explained unhurriedly: "Under normal conditions, this armor is almost the same as the standard armor of the Quel'Salas soldiers. ”

"Once the amplification mode given by the exoskeleton is activated, its defense will be greatly increased."

"Words are not substantiated, we might as well put it to the test."

"Okay."

Sarjan followed Kanter's guidance and looked at the side of the lab to another set of target armor that was not equipped with an exoskeleton.

After Kanter and the others adjusted their armor and signaled that they could start, Sarlian adjusted his output and shot a series of arcane missiles with the peak output level of the elite level.

The silver armor covered with a thin arcane shield unambiguously swallowed the entire set of attacks, and the shield on the surface was still shiny, and the strength of this attack had obviously not reached its theoretical defensive limit.

"Oh? Interesting. ”

Don't look at the high-end combat power of mortal pinnacles and demigods around Saljan, in large-scale battlefields, elite-level soldiers are the mainstay of the armies of various countries.

The ability to defend against elite pinnacle-level arcane missiles means that this armor will at least ensure that the user has sufficient protection against general-level enemies.

Saljan has transformed several spells of different energies one after another and bombarded them continuously, which can basically confirm one point.

As long as the energy supply is sufficient, elite-level attacks will not be able to break through the amplified defense mode of this armor.

Of course, in a real combat environment, it is impossible for the exoskeleton armor with amplification mode enabled to maintain a sufficient energy supply at all times...... Unless it's fighting on Quel'Salas soil.

Backed by a sun well with infinite energy, the army of the High Elves can be built at will.

"What about energy loss?"

Sarren didn't try any further, and turned his head to Kanter, who was recording the experimental data.

"Fortunately, Grand Duke of Deep Shadow's saturation attack in the past few minutes has reduced about 15% of the armor's standard energy."

"Is that so......"

Sarayan further adjusted his power and increased his attack power to level 55.

This time, the shield on the outer layer of the armor finally cracked, but it was quickly repaired with the replenishment of subsequent energy sources.

Without asking questions from Sarren, Kante took the initiative to report the situation.

"This blow consumed 10% of the armor reserve energy...... Sure enough, it still can't withstand the attack of epic enemies for a long time. ”

"It's already pretty good."

Sarren said with satisfaction: "The exoskeleton armor was originally intended for ordinary soldiers, and on a regular battlefield, it is unlikely that they will face an epic attack on a large scale. ”

Even the Burning Legion can't guarantee that all the miscellaneous soldiers will have epic strength, and according to what Sarian knows about the Burning Legion, such an army can definitely be regarded as the elite of the elite.

Sarren would not be stupid enough to use his own medium horses to smash the enemy's superior horses, and if he did encounter the ace troops of the Legion, the top of the coalition forces would naturally find another way to solve it.

However, considering that the exoskeleton armor that is being tested today is a testing machine regardless of cost, the defense power of the finished product that is actually mass-produced in the future should be reduced.

Even so, Salian was quite satisfied.

His requirements are not high, as long as the mass-produced armor can resist the attacks of the epic beginner class in a short time, after all, it is not so easy to encounter epic enemies on a large battlefield.

After testing the armor's flexibility and defense, Sarren, with the help of the researchers, formally assembled the armor with the exoskeleton kit.

Aided by the arcane magic of the exoskeleton kit, Sarjan in armor gains far more strength and mobility than normal.

After practical testing, Salian came to the preliminary conclusion that this set of armor, which emphasized individual combat ability, was a good fit for Quel'Thalas, who pursued a lean soldier policy.

And that's just the initial prototype.

Kantor plans to add a special function to the exoskeleton armor to assist in casting, similar to a built-in staff, to help the wearer shorten the cast time on the battlefield, and even achieve instant small spells.

However, the cost reduction required for mass production is also a key consideration for them, and the base material used in this prototype armor is the extremely valuable Titan Divine Iron.

Even Quel'Thalas, who holds the Iron Vein of the Titan Divine Iron Ore of the Winter Embrace Lake, cannot achieve full mass production of materials of this level, and the high-end version of the exoskeleton armor is destined to only be supplied to the officer class. (End of chapter)
