Arms starts with hyenas in the Middle East

Chapter 489: The Changing Mad Lion

There is absolutely no doubt that this strength is so terrifying. Just now, when he was not wearing the exoskeleton, his weightlifting data was 183 kg, and now it is 964 kg. The increase is about 5 times, which is much more than the 70% increase mentioned by Dr. Gabriel!

"Okay, it seems I need to do more tests. This thing should have different effects on different people."

Gabriel shrugged his shoulders. The data obtained from the on-site test was different from the data he had obtained from previous tests, and the difference was quite large. Naturally, he needed to conduct more tests.

"Mr. Sean, how many sets of this exoskeleton combat suit have been produced so far?"

Li Anbo's eyes turned red at the side. This kind of exoskeleton combat suit is simply a magic weapon for soldiers, a treasure-level existence!

This level of increase will greatly enhance the combat capability of soldiers. Although modern warfare does not rely on the physical fitness and strength of individual soldiers, it is definitely a plus point that cannot be ignored. With this combat uniform, many tasks that were originally impossible to complete will now be easily accomplished. For ordinary soldiers, it may not be as effective as a tank or armored vehicle, but if it is equipped to special forces, it will produce a huge chemical reaction!
"Mr. Li, since we are not planning to sell it to the public in the short term, we only have 300 sets in stock at the moment. If you want, I can provide 200 sets."

When Sean saw Li Anbo's expression, how could he not know what the other party was thinking? This was also his purpose. If he couldn't attract the other party, how could he negotiate terms with him?

As for these weapons and equipment, after they are sold, others obtain the technology to replicate or even improve them?
Sean has never worried about this. The principles of both the electromagnetic rifle and the exoskeleton combat suit are simple, but the reality is that people have been researching them since 1845. Now it is 2012, and there is still no electromagnetic weapon that can be put into use. All firearms still use gunpowder to provide kinetic energy.

The concept of exoskeleton combat suits was proposed in 1960 by the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and was jointly researched with General Motors. In 1965, the first full-body exoskeleton armor was developed, which could increase human strength by 25 times. However, because it was too bulky and rigid and had no practical value, it was ultimately not officially put into military use.

In 2000, DARPA once again launched the "EHPA" program, launching products such as the HULC human load-bearing exoskeleton, the XOS-2 powered exoskeleton, and the TALOS tactical assault light armor, and they were shown in actual combat in Afghanistan. However, these exoskeleton combat suits all have some problems to a greater or lesser extent. Although they can be put into military use, they actually have little effect and cannot be used in special operations.

In general, whether it is electromagnetic weapons or exoskeleton combat suits, their principles and technical theories have been studied and analyzed countless times by countries around the world, but still no one has been launched for special forces, and conventional troops do not have high demand for such equipment to increase individual combat capabilities. So when the employees of the RFG Group wore exoskeleton combat suits and held electromagnetic rifles to fight monsters, the flexibility they showed was simply perfect, which shocked the world.

Because this means that the technology that is not yet truly mature in the rest of the world can be considered mature in the RFG Group.

Increased strength, increased speed, and unaffected flexibility; this is what the exoskeleton combat suit should ultimately look like.

Electromagnetic weapons, on the other hand, require kinetic energy that is not inferior to gunpowder, no smoke, low noise, and sufficient endurance.

RFG Group has achieved all of the above, which is why both Xia Country and the United States are flocking to it.

The fundamental reason why Sean is not afraid of the other party's counter-inference and manufacturing is not actually the technical principle. The fundamental reason why those countries have not been able to launch an exoskeleton or electromagnetic weapon that can truly meet the needs of special operations is not a technical problem, or the technical problem is actually very small. The most important problem is the material.

RFG Group's materials experts have not yet figured out how the original Tariq Gauss rifle was made, and the same is true for the exoskeleton.

The XC-04 Gauss rifle is just an imitation of the best conductive material they have at hand. Its power is inferior to both the original Tariq Gauss rifle and the AS-24 smart Gauss rifle, and its service life is even shorter. An XC-04 gun can only fire 3000 rounds before it is completely damaged, and it cannot adjust the current. In other words, this thing seems to make little noise, but it still cannot meet the requirements of silent combat in most environments.

Although the sound of this thing's firing has indeed met the requirements, and is even quieter than most weapons equipped with professional subsonic bullets + silencers, its powerful penetration can penetrate a person, and then the warhead still has enough kinetic energy to hit other places and make a sound. In other words, this thing is not only unable to carry out silent combat in a relatively narrow environment, but is also more likely to produce stray bullets, increasing the risk of injury to one's own personnel.

The exoskeleton is the oldest HG-1 exoskeleton combat suit that can be directly exchanged in the system. Its performance in all aspects is much worse than the HG-3 exoskeleton combat suit equipped by RFG employees, but it can still be said to be a very excellent exoskeleton combat suit. Although the increase is not so abnormal, it is also strong enough, and there are no other obvious shortcomings, such as the impact on flexibility and wearing comfort. The reason why this model is used directly is because conventional materials cannot be made at all, whether it is various composite materials, titanium alloys, chitin materials, or lightweight alloys or carbon fibers, there will be various problems, resulting in various defects in the finished products. Even if it is only used for fraud, it can't reach the strength of the employees wearing HG-3 exoskeleton combat suits shown in the video.

Obviously, it is impossible to replicate this thing in a short period of time. If it weren't for the dirty water from the United States, he could have developed slowly, but now it is obviously not possible. Sean refuted the other party at the press conference and promoted the new work of RFG Group. He needed this time, so he took out the HG-1 exoskeleton combat suit, and told the outside world that it was independently developed by RFG Group.

So Sean simply ignored the imitations. Anyway, as long as the materials could not be copied, there would be no way to make an exoskeleton combat suit like the original. Electromagnetic weapons were easier. After all, the principle was there, and the materials were not impossible to copy. Sean estimated that it would not be long before various electromagnetic rifles would dominate light weapons, and even electromagnetic cannons would appear more and more.

Although this thing may have various defects due to material problems, these defects are not intolerable. The only thing is that the power cannot be adjusted, the weapon life is shorter, and the failure rate is high, but at least there are no major problems in using it.

The exoskeleton combat suit is different. It is impossible to imitate it at all. As long as there is no breakthrough in materials, it will never be made. Even the effect of the HG-01 cannot be achieved, let alone the HG-3.

If it was really that easy to replicate, then Sean wouldn't be so anxious. At least he would continue to hold on to the exoskeleton for a while. Although he would eventually let it go, he would only do so after he had a combat suit that was stronger than his current nano armor.

As the saying goes, sell one generation, use one generation, and hide one generation. In terms of nuclear weapons, he cannot have an advantage over any nuclear-armed country, but if he can have an advantage in light weapons, that is also possible. After all, nuclear weapons are not used unless it is absolutely necessary, while light weapons are the most conventional and most widely used weapons.

"Okay, we want them all. Please make sure to complete the handover as quickly as possible!"

Li Anbo said with an extremely serious expression.

"Please rest assured Mr. Li, as soon as your recipient arrives, our employees will ensure that the handover is completed smoothly."

Sean gave his assurance seriously. He knew exactly what the other party was worried about.

The fact that Li Anbo and his team came to visit RFG Group cannot be concealed. Their movements will continue to attract attention from all parties. When the actual handover comes, other forces may not interfere, but the United States will definitely interfere.

However, Sean was not worried about this. He had asked Oleg to lead the team to be stationed at the headquarters. They would be fully responsible for the handover of weapons. With their combat capabilities, plus the troops sent by the Xia country, it is conceivable how difficult it would be to disrupt this transaction. Moreover, if they really couldn't hold on at that time, the headquarters could send employees for support at any time.

In fact, the best way is for Sean to send Oleg's team and Black Watch soldiers to take the EX-stg silent stealth multi-purpose helicopter to transport the things directly to the border of Xia Country, and then hand over the things at the border of Xia Country. This is the safest way, and they will definitely not suffer any attacks in the middle. However, since the belly space of the helicopter is only so large, and the external transportation cannot be invisible, too many helicopters need to be mobilized. Moreover, considering the importance that Xia Country attaches to this thing, they may not feel at ease if they do not personally participate in the transportation, so Sean just thought about this method and directly invalidated it.

After visiting the underground laboratory, the two returned to the reception room and began to discuss the details of the cooperation. However, halfway through the conversation, Sean's cell phone rang. He picked it up and took a look, and found that it was Zeus calling.

"Sorry, I'll take a call."

Sean frowned. Zeus contacted him on his own initiative, which probably meant that some problems had occurred in the Sahara Desert Underground Laboratory. So he originally wanted to hang up and wait until he finished discussing with Li Anbo. However, since the problem involved the Sahara Desert Underground Laboratory, he had to deal with it as a priority.

"It's okay, maybe it's something important, please help me, Mr. Sean."

Li Anbo nodded to show his understanding. From the change in Sean's expression, he knew that this call was probably very important.

Sean picked up the phone and walked out of the living room, and asked into the microphone: "What's wrong, Zeus?"

Zeus's flat voice came from the phone and replied: "Boss, just an hour ago, the laboratory was attacked. The attackers have been killed by the Black Watch. According to analysis, these people should be from the Nazis. They are all genetically enhanced human warriors. They also carry a special virus and attempt to inject it. According to Dr. Nokanla's research and observation, this should be a more powerful virus made with Pandora virus as the main virus and other viruses as the supplement. We suspect that this virus is the culprit for the creation of the tentacle monster in Cordoba City. They should be coming for Gudrun Himmler."

Upon hearing this, Sean's face changed. Fortunately, the injection of these people was not successful, otherwise the entire underground laboratory in the Sahara Desert would be destroyed.
He believed that at present, they did not have any individual weapons that could effectively deal with this monster, and there were no heavy weapons available in the Sahara Desert underground laboratory. Even if there were, it was impossible for them to blow themselves up, right?

If these people are successfully injected, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Let Dr. Nokanla focus on studying this virus to see if it can be controlled. If it is not possible, then stop researching this virus. We don't need a monster that is completely uncontrollable."

Sean's eyes flickered. Although the monster created by this virus was ugly, its destructive power was really strong enough. If it could be controlled, this level of biological weapon would be no less powerful than nuclear weapons. But if it could not be controlled, then we would have to give up this research direction. Use it as a virus weapon, and it must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary. Once it is used, everyone will shout and kill it. The label of a terrorist organization will be welded on its head and it will be impossible to remove it.

So there is no need to waste time and energy on that thing. He is not a madman.

"By the way, sir, I have another good news to inform you."

Just as Sean was about to hang up the phone, Zeus' voice sounded again.

"Do you still remember Crazy Lion? He was the first employee to survive the virus mutation. Incredible changes took place in him!"

Hearing this, Sean couldn't help but recall the time when the Sahara Laboratory was cleared out. That was the biggest loss the RFG Group had ever suffered since its founding. At least a hundred employees had been infected with the virus and taken their lives, and were eventually burned to death. But one employee actually survived the distortion caused by the virus infection. Not only did he not turn into the kind of aggressive zombie that only knew how to eat, he also became stronger, but other than that there were no other abnormalities at the time.
