Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 366 [Deeply Shocked]

About half an hour later, the transport convoy arrived inside the military base.

The cargo hold of the transport vehicle was opened, revealing rectangular sealed boxes inside. The base's logistics personnel had no idea what was inside.

At this moment, the people at the base are unloading goods in an orderly manner.

Lin Baiyu saw a group of people walking towards him. The leader had three stars on his shoulder. Even if Lin Baiyu didn't know him, he recognized the military rank insignia. The shoulder insignia was a golden pine branch with three gold stars, which was the highest level in the current military rank system.

He's definitely a high-ranking military officer, and certainly not the highest-ranking commander of this base, as the highest-ranking commander of the base is a senior colonel.

"Greetings, Commander!" Lin Baiyu said immediately.

"Comrade Lin, the conditions here are a bit tough, unlike those big cities in Linzhou. Please feel free to bring up any difficulties you may have," the general said with a smile, and Lin Baiyu naturally responded politely.

After a brief exchange, we got down to business. Today's main topic was the 100 sets of exoskeleton power armor that had been delivered to the base.

The 100 sets of exoskeleton powered armor packaging boxes were quickly transported to the base. In a large hall inside the base, 100 packaging boxes, each over two meters tall, were placed vertically. In addition, there were many supply boxes containing exoskeleton powered armor parts for replacement, as well as supporting spare parts such as tactical jetpacks.

Just then, 100 elite soldiers, handpicked from various war zones, marched in formation into the hall.

"Stand still. At ease."

The 100 soldiers stood in neat rows, motionless. The lieutenant in charge immediately reported to the generals present. Lin Baiyu was also standing to the side. After a while, a major general looked at him and smiled, "Comrade Baiyu, do you think these soldiers meet the armed standards?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Baiyu immediately replied, "This new set of equipment is not very difficult to use, nor does it require much professional knowledge; the entry barrier is very low."

The equipment is easy to use and has a low barrier to entry, but that doesn't mean it's low in terms of skill.

On the contrary, the lower the threshold and the easier it is to get started, the more advanced the technology is. As a piece of equipment that is to be deployed on a large scale and even become a regular part of the entire army in ten years, it needs to be simple to use and have a low threshold.

The 100 soldiers present remained motionless and silent, but upon hearing this, they were all curious about what exactly was going on with this mission.

Clearly, they still don't know this, which shows the high level of secrecy.

A moment later, Lin Baiyu's technical assistant handed him a tactical tablet and said, "Everything is ready and can be opened at any time."

Lin Baiyu turned to the general with three stars on his shoulder and said, "Commander, you may unseal it now."

The general smiled and said, "You are a technical expert, and we will listen to your guidance here."

Finally, Lin Baiyu stepped forward and came to the neatly arranged packaging boxes, drawing the attention of everyone present.

Lin Baiyu tapped a few times on the tablet, and a moment later, everyone heard a "whoosh" sound, similar to a valve, coming from the packaging box, and all the packaging boxes slowly opened automatically.

One hundred wearable exoskeletons stepped out of their packaging boxes in unison, then lined up in a square formation, positioned directly opposite the 100 warriors.

At this moment, whether it was the 100 soldiers or some base logistics personnel present, they were all deeply shocked by the sight of the exoskeleton power armor for the first time. Even the generals were moved on the spot.

These 100 sets of exoskeleton power armor are like war machines that have stepped out of a science fiction movie. They are covered with a unique metallic luster, and the streamlined composite nano-alloy armor covering the surface is like precisely interlocking mechanical scales, which gleam with a cold metallic halo under the refraction of light.

When walking, the transmission device at the joints slowly extends with a slight hum, revealing the internal dark blue energy lines, like dormant mechanical arteries.

Holding a tactical tablet, Lin Baiyu turned to the crowd and said, "This is the world's first full-coverage bionic humanoid wearable exoskeleton armed powered mechanical combat armor developed by our Lingjing Technology. Just now, they demonstrated the ability to act autonomously. This is because the equipment is in sentry mode. In this mode, it can act autonomously and can also perform combat missions like a pure mechanical powered armor."

Afterwards, Lin Baiyu began to explain to everyone the various functions of this power armor set, how to use it, how to operate it, and so on.

Those present gasped in amazement, their eyes filled with shock. This equipment was far superior to the rudimentary exoskeletons made of just a few metal strips used by the military. It was practically Iron Man's suit, and its design was incredibly cool, absolutely stunning—a futuristic device straight out of a science fiction movie.

Such a sci-fi creation has become a reality, so much so that those who saw the equipment for the first time couldn't help but marvel at how advanced technology has become.

Finally, Lin Baiyu finished explaining the basic knowledge points and then began teaching how to wear the garment.

The 100 selected soldiers changed into their neural harness suits and tried them on in groups of thirty. One young soldier was the first to put it on. Looking at the power armor suit in front of him, he felt both excited and nervous.

Under the guidance of the technical team, he carefully "embedded" into the ergonomic capsule. The moment the power armor closed from his back, the soldier felt as if he were surrounded by a warm steel embrace.

The internal parts that come into contact with the body are made of shape memory alloy, which can automatically adjust its shape according to the wearer's body shape to provide the most comfortable fit.

At that moment, the front panel of the power armor helmet activated, and he heard the synthesized electronic voice from the system.

"Start self-check program".

"The energy core is stable."

"Stable power output."

The soldier's field of vision was immediately covered by a front-view screen, and everything around him became clear and three-dimensional. He could see the external scene and identify the information of the targets in his field of vision, which was then displayed on the front-view screen.

It's clear at a glance and won't obstruct your view.

The power armor performed a self-test, and the soldier saw data cascading down on the screen in front of him like a waterfall. Each self-test parameter represented whether the power armor's performance met the standards.

The power system, NBC protection system, intelligence analysis system, auditory compensation system, adaptive balance system, aiming assistance system, motion enhancement system, and so on, are all proceeding in an orderly manner.

After the hearing compensation system was fully loaded, he was able to hear external sounds more clearly.

A moment later, Lin Baiyu's voice came through the communication system inside the power armor: "Don't be nervous, relax, and then try to control it with your mind."

Lin Baiyu glanced at the tablet. The data showed that the soldier's heart rate was a bit high at the moment, obviously due to excitement and nervousness. However, this was normal, because it wasn't just him; his comrades' heart rates were also a bit high at the moment.

This was the first time anyone had ever encountered such high-end equipment, and according to Lin Baiyu's previous explanation, a set of this equipment would cost nearly 2400 million, which is more expensive than a Type 99 main battle tank. The soldiers were also worried about damaging the equipment.

In fact, this equipment is very durable and can withstand heavy firepower, let alone human strength.

Lin Baiyu and his technical team began to guide the thirty soldiers who were putting on their power armor step by step, while the other seventy soldiers watched intently, learned carefully, and listened attentively.

"Everyone, try raising your arms, just like you normally control your arms. Good, then swing your arms and feel the power transfer," Lin Baiyu said, watching the warriors in power armor pacing back and forth.

With the support of the adaptive system, the joints of the power armor respond flexibly and move in sync with the wearer, achieving almost perfect harmony between man and machine, as if wielding an arm.

The generals who were observing were extremely satisfied. With the Air Force's J-36s and the Navy's aircraft carriers and 10,000-ton destroyers in hand, the Lu family finally had its own signature product.

They already knew the performance parameters of the power armor and genuinely liked this new equipment. Not only could this new equipment bring a significant boost to the army's combat effectiveness, but it was also very cool and extremely intimidating.

The appearance of the equipment is also very important. Putting everything else aside, this power armor set, once it makes a stunning appearance at the military parade in September, will definitely attract countless young people to join the army.

The 100 soldiers selected by the military were immediately captivated by this individual combat gear. They fell in love with it at first sight. Few men could resist such a powerful and stylish individual power armor.
