Chapter 433 Heavy-Duty Powered Exoskeleton Deployed! Sci-Fi Warrior!

"Comrades, we are the elite paratrooper battalion, and we have always had the best parachute performance. Therefore, the new heavy-duty powered exoskeleton parachute training program requires us to explore it!"

Inside the cabin of the Y-20 transport aircraft, the commander of the paratrooper squadron, wearing a heavy-duty powered exoskeleton, spoke solemnly.

"The current syllabus for heavy-duty powered exoskeleton parachute jumps is not perfect, and our training also has flaws, but now—"

"The time has come for the Party and the people to test us!"

"I'm just asking you, do you have confidence?"

The other soldiers, also clad in heavy powered exoskeletons, roared, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

“Great! We are in a much better situation than those 15 ‘parachute heroes’ 13 years ago. If our predecessors could do it well back then, we must do it even better!”

The captain stated firmly, "Now, let me repeat the mission objective: around 9:30 PM tonight, a 6.5 magnitude earthquake will occur in Yangbi County, Yunnan Province!"

"Thanks to the deployment of the 'Starry Sky' system, 60% of the area has maintained limited communication, but some villages still using traditional communication methods are out of contact. Our mission is to parachute into the area, use the 'Starry Sky' receiver to restore local communication, report on the disaster situation, and provide information for subsequent large-scale rescue efforts..."

They had already gathered intelligence when they went to load emergency relief supplies onto the transport plane, but now they had to repeat it again.

As they flew to the epicenter in a transport plane, the earthquake not only awakened Yangbi and the surrounding area, but also the entire land of China.

Where did the earthquake occur?

[Yunnan, the land of colorful clouds, Yangbi, may you be safe and sound!]

Oh my god, my friend is traveling there!

[I also have a friend traveling there. He bought a new phone that supports satellite communication, so he let me know he arrived safely.]

[My hometown is in Yangbi. The village committee has a "Starry Sky" receiver that can connect to the internet. I just finished a video call with my parents on WeChat, and I'm so glad to see they're alright. Most people were having a song and dance party in the village committee square at the time, so most people were unharmed, except for some old houses that collapsed.]

[It's good that everyone is alright!!]

Thanks to technological advancements, in the past, earthquakes would have meant losing contact, and the most terrifying thing was not knowing what was happening!

Yes, things are much better now. With the "Starry Sky" satellite developed by the national team and Lu Yun, not only can you connect to the internet with just a small tablet and a power cord, but you can also use the new smartphones that have been released in the last two years for satellite communication.

[I just saw Lu Yun's Weibo post; his company is already preparing relief supplies, which will be sent to the disaster area soon.]

Every time we face a natural disaster, we witness the unity of our nation. We truly deserve the national consensus forged in the process of continuously fighting against natural disasters!

That's true; both Laos and Chinese respond to natural disasters very quickly.

Within just one hour of the earthquake, the local management team was all present, and they held a press conference to report on the situation while simultaneously gathering information.

Preliminary statistics indicate that several counties and cities surrounding the epicenter experienced strong tremors, with noticeable tremors also felt in more distant areas.

There were reports of collapsed houses, fallen tiles, and cracks in the epicenter, as well as injuries caused by the collapse of houses. Other disaster situations are still being assessed and verified.

Fortunately, basic communication and power conditions in the earthquake zone are good.

Traffic disruptions caused by collapses and landslides have occurred, and rescue teams are already working to repair the roads.

Earthquake relief plans have been activated in surrounding areas, and various fire brigades and rescue teams are rushing to the epicenter.

Fire brigades in more distant areas are also ready to assemble and deploy as reinforcements.

When disaster strikes, help comes from all sides; all kinds of forces are converging on the disaster area.

At this time, transport planes carrying relief supplies and a heavy-duty powered exoskeleton airborne team also arrived over the disaster area.

The transport aircraft's external navigation lights flashed, its internal warning lights flashed, and its rear hatch opened rapidly.

"Airdrop supplies first!"

"Team members, keep up!"

"We've already established communication with several villages in the epicenter that have signal coverage. They've set up marked fires in open areas, and after landing, they'll mobilize the villagers to retrieve the airdrops. Meanwhile, we're quickly heading to villages without signal to restore communication..."

The captain's voice still echoed on the communication channel; the airdrop and the team members had already left the aircraft. In the dark sky, parachutes, symbolizing hope, drifted towards the disaster area.

On the ground, villagers stood beside an open space, gazing up at the dark sky.

"Have the PLA paratroopers arrived?"

"The village chief said it would be around this time, and specifically asked us to come and meet him."

"It will be great once the People's Liberation Army arrives!"

"Hey, do you guys see a green dot floating over there?"

"It must be... hey hey hey, it's floating over here!"

"Wow, quickly take a picture with your phone..."

The villagers who came to meet them were genuinely excited when they saw what appeared to be PLA paratroopers. Some took out their phones to film videos, while others stared intently at the sky.

Then they saw a huge humanoid object land, and in the light of the fire on the ground, the humanoid object gleamed with a metallic sheen.

"Bang~"

"Ah-"

The mechanical humanoid object landed on the ground with a heavy thud, accompanied by a sound of air being deflated.

The villagers were stunned to see that the people who had landed were not the People's Liberation Army soldiers they usually remembered.

Finally, after the paratroopers finished packing their parachutes, they realized the situation and explained, "Fellow villagers, we are the People's Liberation Army!"

As he spoke, he took off his helmet, revealing his face.

When the villagers saw his kind yet resolute face, they immediately felt relieved and warmly greeted him.

"Comrades of the People's Liberation Army, you've finally arrived..."

The situation was urgent, so the heavily armed soldier didn't bother with formalities with the villagers. Instead, he said, "Fellow villagers, I need your help now. I'm temporarily conscripting you on behalf of the People's Liberation Army..."

The villagers perked up immediately upon hearing this!
"No problem, PLA comrades!"

"Summon me, I am strong..."

A little later, watching the villagers run into the village to call for help to find the airdrop, the heavily armored soldier put his helmet back on, checked the package fixed to his chest, and then rushed towards the disconnected village according to the map on his mask.

They also share intelligence in the communication channels and receive intelligence from others.

The heavy powered exoskeleton he wears is based on an engineered powered exoskeleton, so the mechanical structure looks larger and more powerful.

The Equipment Institute originally intended to upgrade and modify it according to the legendary "powered armor", but found that the technology was insufficient. Therefore, they only added as many high-polymer composite bulletproof plates as possible to the front of the heavy powered exoskeleton to improve protection.

When the front of the heavy powered exoskeleton is covered with bulletproof plates, reaching a coverage area of ​​90%, the heavy powered exoskeleton is in its "heavy armor" form.

However, the powered exoskeleton in heavy armor mode only has a two-hour activity period, so it is designed to be used only in high-intensity raids.

The heavy powered exoskeleton he's wearing now is only in its basic form; it only has a powered structure and no bulletproof plates.

(Illustration of a heavy-duty powered exoskeleton, with even more frontal protection)
Because this is a disaster relief mission, what is needed is a heavy-duty powered exoskeleton with high mobility and high strength.

Therefore, the weight of the bulletproof plate was replaced by "Star" communication equipment, ready-to-eat military rations, and spare batteries.

Of course, he now had a large package hanging in front of him, filled with things, so it could also be considered a kind of "heavy load".

When the heavily armed soldiers rushed to the village where they had lost contact, the person who had filmed them earlier had already used the "Starry Sky" network at the village committee to upload the video online.

[The People's Liberation Army, acting as "sci-fi warriors," has arrived to provide disaster relief!]
